HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1947-11-13, Page 3{bi No Dust Bowl Here—Most Western Canada farmers have quit plowing. Instead, they turn the land over shallowly with a "oneway disc" and keep the mulch at surface of the soil. The "trash"= --straw, stubble and greenery—they put into the soil is good fertilizer, and also keeps it from blowing away. or 6141.41444 d 'gene Thing or not: t er By FRANK MANN HARRIS ("A Sixbit Critic") The people of the United States claim—perhaps rightly—to lead the world in most lines of human en- deavor. Some of those claims we might be inclined to challenge just a trifle. But when it comes to slopping over into sickly sentimentality, we freely admit they are tops This somewhat acid thought comes to mind on reading a front-page story -to the effect that the race horse MAN 0' WAR is to be embalmed, then buried in a silken -lined oak coffin—and that the city of Lexing- ton, Kentucky had gone into mourn- ing over his passing. * * * Now MAN 0' WAR was un- doubtedly quite a race -horse — al- though by no cleans the unbeatable ball -of -fire some of his adulators would have you believe. We saw him run a couple of times; and while we make no claim to be a real judge of horseflesh, we had an idea that some of his superiority was due to the fact that he didn't have so very much to beat. To us he calls to mind the ancient saying "In the country of the blind, the one -eyed man is king." s: * * However, lie caught the public fancy; and his owners were smart enough to retire him at the peak of his fame. Whenever some sports cobbler found himself down Lexing- ton way, and short of something to • write about, he would turn out a piece about "Big Red"—and 5o the horse became something of a legend during his lifetime. Still, stuff like 'Man 0' War did more for this com- munity than any other creature, human or animal." Silk -lined coffin! Black -ribboned floral wreaths in shop windows. Twenty gallons of embalm- ing fluid! Maybe we're a bit too squeamish but, somehow or other, it all gives us a sickish feeling. * * There are many echo hail the abandonment of price controls as a triumph for the system of free enter- prise—and personally we believe that there is just as great danger in too much governmental control as there is in too little. Still, if there were wily one solitary occasion when dropping of controls was followed by a drop in prices, instead of an immediate increase, it would be a •rather pleasant change, and a boost for "free competition" as well. * * * By no means for the first time, Comm Smythe has proved himself to he just about the most far-seeing operative in hockey. Everybody else connected with the game recognized this sorry plight of the Chicago Black Hawks—but the "Maple Leaf boss wa the only one, apparently, who foresaw how the Hawks weak- ness might eventually prove bad for the entire league, and did something , about it, For in a small group like the N.H.L, one bad team could be as dangerous as one rotten apple hi a barrel of good ones. * * * But with hockey business as g<in,l AS it is, and folks fairly falling over themselves to get tickets, everyiiodt else just sat stilt and let the Black Hawks steadily become more, painful to watch. But now Smythe has pro• vide(' th. n with what looks like the makings of an entirely new team' -- and before too long'tbis move should prove of real value, not only to Chicago, but to the box offices of all ether five teams. * * * We wouldn't advise you to feel too sorry for Smythe either. While he has done his good deed toward the Hawks, we don't figure he has done too badly for his Maple Leafs either. In getting Max Bentley he has made the Toronto team just about a cinch to repeat last year's triumph—for if Bentley could be one of the league's outstanding performers in his Chi- cago surroundings, he should rise to real heights with the sort of support his new teammates can give him. * * * It will be interesting, too, to watch the future career of Rookie Cy Thomas, tossed in with Bentley as part of the five for two swap. For it is just within the bounds that he might turn out to be worth more than all five Leafs involved. We're not saying he will—but it could be. We have said some harsh things about Conn Smythe in the past—and probably will be in the future. But when it comes to evaluating the fu- ture possibilities of a hockey player, we rate him as tops—and would hate to try and swap with him, even if he gave us the first three picks. *, * * Riding on a bus the other morning we .happened to sit next a High School teacher of our acquaintance. Thinking to cheer him up a little, we read him a few lines appearing in Sat day's paper. "Next to the Church, the teaching profession is the highest calling in the land. On our teachers, to a great extent, de- pends the whole life and nature of Canada." After informing him that these were the words of the Premier of Ontario, we asked him if such nice things didn't make him feel proud. "They'd make me feel a lot better," he replied,somewhat bitter- ly, "if my grocer or coal -dealer would accept them in place of cash I" * * * Probably you've heard this one before, but if you have, you're not going to stop us anyway. It's about the Sunday School teacher who was talking about different sorts of thirsts. "Sonic people thirst after righteousness," he said, "others thirst after learning, wealth, fame or ex- citement. Now, just what do you boys thirst after?" From the back row piped up a small voice—"Right after salted peanuts." That's Different Pat: Lend me a shovel to get my friend out of the bog. Farmer: How far has he sunk clown? Pat: Up to his ankles. Farmer: Can't he get out him- self? Pat: Ali, but he fell in head first.

The district of Temiskam- ing and Cochrane have already ex- perienced the migration, several thousand colonies having been moved up there by truck this sum- mer, says the Fort William Times - Journal. It is expected that about 10,000 colonies will go north in 1946. The transference of bees is not new in the United States. From California, bees are moved thou- sands of miles each year, following the various honey crops. The first is the orange honey in the south, ending up with the clover flow in the north. The new trend in Ontario is in- dicated by the fact that the produc- tion of honey has not proven pro- fitable in several sections of South- ern Ontario, By bringing the little workers to the north, the beekeep- ers can obtain a crop from the clover during July and then move to the burned -over areas for fire- weed honey during August. Sugar is one of the purest chem- ical substances known to man.

( tri ' AUX RA fV R U of Morttre performs daring feat to prevent accident The corner of Lafontaine and Letourneux streets is in the eastern section of Montreal. There are three schools in the vicinity and around 4 o'clock of an afternoon the sidewalks are crowded with children on their way home. Alex Rainville, a night watch- man employed by Canadian Copper Refiners Ltd., immediate- ly thought of these children when he saw the runaway horse . . . its eyes frightened and crazy ... galloping at a terrific speed along Letourneux street. DRAGGED ISO FEET Realizing that not a moment was to be lost, Rainville dashed into the street just as the mad- dened animal came opposite him. Lunging fearlessly at the horse's harness he managed to grasp one of the reins and hang on grimly using his full weight in an effort to slow the wild charge. It was only after a desperate fight . and after being dragged about 150 feet ... that the gallant watchman suc- ceeded in stopping the animal, POSSIBLE TRAGEDY AVERTED Had it not been for the quick thinking and cool courage of this man, the episode might easily have ended in tragedy. We are proud to pay tribute to Alex Rainville of Montreal through the presentation of The Dow Award. THE DOW AWARD is a citation for outstanding hero, ism and includes, as a tangible expression of appreciation, a $coo Canada Savings Bond. Winners are selected by the bow Award Committee, a group of editors of leading Canadian daily newspapers.
