Malcolm Judson of Charlottetown, member of crew of Canadian frigate St. Stephen assigned to station "Baker" in the North
Atlantic weather reporting, radio beacon and rescue service. New mast aboard vessel is topped by a radyar aerial which will
be used in making meteorological observations. Other instruments for giving direction and speed of wind at sea level are
fastened to ends of yardarm.

"We will be able to patrol thous-
ands of square miles of territory
with as much ease as we once pol-
iced a ten -mile area," said an official
of the Ontario Provincial Police in
speaking about the new radio sys-
tem, soon to be in operation. "In
the event of an emergency it some-
times took us hours to mobilize our
forces. Now the same thing can be
accomplished in a mater of min-
utes."
The new Ontario network will
eventually serve a fleet of 300 radio -
operated police cruisers, and is rated
by experts as the largest and most
modern setup of its kind on the
North American Continent.
Four-way communication is one
of the features of the system —
station -to -station, station -to -car and
tar -to -car. General Headquarters of
the Provincial Police at Queen's
Park will also maintain direct con-
tact with the network.
Number 5 District Headquarters
of the Provincial Police, comprising
the counties of Peel, Ontario and
York, will be the first to inaugurate
the new system, with headquarters
at Aurora. Receiving and sending
equipment have been installed be-
tween the master station at Aurora,
two 00 -watt sub -stations at Bramp-
ton and Whitby, and the 24 cruisers
operating in this district. Frequency
modulation units developed during
the war eliminate static entirely.
A new wrinkle is the magnetic
despatch map. Each dispatcher will
have a map of his district showing
all traffic arteries, villages, towns,
cities and other vital information
being shown on a linen framework.
Magnetized pieces of metal, molded
in the likeness of police cruisers, are
moved from place to place each time
a position report is received from a
cruiser. By this method the despat-
cher can tell at a glance the approxi-
mate position of each of his cars.
Altogether there will be nine
Provincial Police Districts operat-
ing under the new system in South-
ern Ontario, and a survey has al-
ready been started for its extension
to Northern Ontario. Similar sys-
tems have been so successful in
Michigan and other parts of the
United States that police every-
where are hailing it as the greatest
step forward in many years in the
battle against crime.
Famous I' acehorses
From British Stock
The world's bloodstock buyers
are looking forward to the Decem-
ber sales at Park Paddocks, New-
market, England, where they will
be able to buy for their own studs
some of the finest of Britain's
bloodstock. It is not generally real-
ized that the modern racehorse of
every country in the world is de-
scended from United Kingdom
stock. No breeder today will risk
crossing his stock with any horse of
doubtful ancestry. Instead they de-
pend on the General Stud Book,
published in London for 150 years,
for the line of the horse. These vol-
umes contain entries of all the fam-
Vits racehorses, now scattered
Throughout the world.

Sports — An. t
�; Oneornother
hi
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixbit Critic")
Back in the days when we were
briefly connected with the wrestl-
ing business, there was one espe-
cially valued regular customer—
a prominent' and wealthy lawyer,
whose name you would probably
recognize, and who always used to
purchase six or eight of the high-
est -price seats for himself and his
friends. Their frantic enthusiasm,
while a bout was in progress, was
really something to see. But one
day, meeting him on the street, we
found him in a most critical state
of mind. He said he'd begun to
suspect that wrestling wasn't on
the level—and that he wasn't go-
ing to give it his patronage any
longer,
* * *
Asked for his reasons lie -told
how, on Thursday evening, he had
seen one of the main-boulers car-
ried from the arena apparently
very badly injured—and next day
had heard rumors- that the wrestler
lay in hospital suffering from' con-
cussion and possible skull fracture.
He had even been thinking of
sending flowers until—happening
to pick up a Buffalo Saturday
paper—he had been amazed to
note that this very same grappler,
miraculously restored to health,
had taken part in a torrid boat in
that city the previous evening. "So
I think it must be crooked, and
I've had enough," he concluded.
* * *
However, knowing something of
the ways of sports fans, we weren't
too much surprised to see. him ;n
his regular seat the following
week, yelling his head off in a
frenzy of excitement. "Even if they
are all a bunch of fakers," he ex-
plained, rather shame-facedly, af-
terwards, "while they're in there
they make me feel that they're try-
ing to tear one another apart—
and I'm not going to miss it."
* * *
Somehow, we couldn't help
thinking of this gentleman lately.
The sport of boxing has been shak-
en by a series of scandals, the lat-
est being the very smelly La Mot-
ta-Fox affair in New York. "These
fakers are killing the game!" wail-
ed the sports scribes from Coast to
Coast. So what happens? The Joe
Louis -Joe Walcott heavyweight
thing—a worse 'overmatch' than
David vs Goliath because Walcott
won't be allowed to carry rocks,
and probably couldn't will even if
he did—will draw a sellout gate of
over a quarter of a million. And if
they'd had the crust to charge
$100 'tops' the place would have
been just as crowded. The moral
Aw-just write your own!
* * *
Perhaps you have noticed some-
thing of the same kind too—but to
us the most antasing thing about the
recent Ottawa announcement of va-
rious new bans and 'austerities' was
the number of our friends who had
been preparing for winter trips to

Florida ur California. Previously, we
' had heard nothing of any such in-
tentions—but as soon as news came
that all such unnecessary travel was
"Off" their moans of disappointment
were pitiful to hear.
* * *
When we pause to watch a game
of corner -lot football among the
small fry, we always note about
ten forward -passers, or- pass re-
ceivers, to every kid willing to get
in there and learn the rudiments of
line-play—and this in -spite of *the
fact that every coach in the busi-
ness would give his eye-teeth for
the kind of front -rank material
that- has made the Toronto Argo-
nauts supreme over the years.
Similarly, as we see' younger
generations taking their licks at
becoming future hockey stars, we
cannot help noticing that it is
practically always the smallest kid
in the gang who is set to guard
the nets. All the others are up
there emulating Apps, Richard and
the rest of the great goal -getters.
Those who aim to become Turk
Broda's, Bill Durnan's or Frankie
Brimsek's are few and far between.
Perhaps this is only natural, as
goal -tending is — according to
those who do it for a living — a
thankless business. Still, if we
were advising any kid who really
wanted to shine at hockey, our
advice would be to take a real
whack at twine -tending. Just think
of what the Chicago Black Hawks
would give for a goalie of any-
thing like the class of the three
just mentioned, for example, right
this minute.
* * *
The whole world is suffering from
a severe attack of the jitters—wor-
rying over a heap of things that wilt
probably never happen and which, if
they do, we are helpless to prevent.
We can't help wondering if a lot of
it isn't due to most of us trying to
absorb far more news of the world
than we can digest. We know one
man who, in addition to reading
three daily papers, listens to at least
six daily newscasts and news com-
mentaries, and is in a constant state
of apprehension that threatens his
mental and physical health. His great-
grandfather didn't even hear of the
Battle of Waterloo till six weeks
after it was decided—and wouldn't
have been a bit better off if he'd
had a play-by-play decription right
from the battlefield.
* * *
It may Le sign of the times—
and then again it may not. But
spectators at Big League hockey
games are getting much more cri-
tical than they have been in the
past few seasons. Booing, and
that special sort of ,hand -clapping
which is by no means applause,
both break out among the fans at
the slightest provocation; and
players who have been wont to
hear their slightest move greeted
with approv .1 are having their
ears shocked by the raucous Razz -
berry and shouts of "Get in there
and show us something."
Well, retail merchants with
plenty of goods on their shelves
find buyers more "choosey" than
when there is a buying panic on;
and although attendances have
shown little sign of falling of as
yet, it may be that hockey custom-
ers, too, are looking for quality,
and are getting a bit tired of hav-
ing a combination of speed,. skat-
ing; and duck -on -the -rock passed
over the counter as "Canada's
greatest sport."
