'7 .N TT` -I ilLD NortnanBlair Great Britain ''here are persistent reports in The Daily Herald—the official Soc-' ialist paper--- to the effect that the Conservatives badly want to get rid of Winston Churchill as the party leader. Undoubtedly there is great dissatisfaction with his intermittent or absentee leadership of the Oppo- sition, but there is one question to which nobody as yet has come up with a reasonable answer. It amounts to this—"Assuming that Churchill's leadership is faulty and unlikely to lead toward success at the polls, just what appeal could the Tories make minus his dynamic personality?" As far as the Socialists go, they would prefer Churchill to lead the Conservatives at the next election, rather than Anthony Eden, They think that the smooth -looking Mr. Eden night get a,large share of the feminine vote, whereas the same women would be afraid of Church- ill taking the nation into war with Russia. Churchill recently made quite a cony: hack in the House of Com- mons. He has had to endure a "hot war" with the Socialists and a "cold one" with many of his own supporters; but in the debate on the second reading of the Steel Bill, he completely dominated the scene. In fact when Sir Stafford Cripps wound up for the Government, there was a wild scene with only a minute and a half to go on the clock, Cripps, who had done well till that point, suddenly lost his head, say- ing that if Socialism couldn't ac- complish its aims by Parliamentary means it would have to resort to some more violent method. It was a silly and unnecessary thing to say, and Churchill rose to his feet in a rage. Cripps refused to give way and pointed to the clock. The place was in an uproar, with both sides shout- ing insults. Churchill's • arms could • be seen waving defiantly, and his raucous voice shouting "We are not afraid of your revolution," Mr. Speaker intervened and made the two sit down. But as soon as the Speaker resumed his seat they were up like two boxers at the sound of the gong. Cripps probably did not mean any- thing sinister by his mention of vio- lence; but the incident will un- doubtedly add to the Government's growing unpopularity. Churchill continued to dominate the House next day and his supporters were full of enthusiasm. But they're wondering if Winston will now lose interest in Parliament until some other big issue comes up. The amount of time he spends writing his Memoirs has indubitably made the public attitude in general to- wards Churchill much cooler than it was a few months ago. The United States The problem of juvenile "gangs" and youthful vandalism is one which bothers, not not only those Jiving in larger cities, but residents of small towns and villages as well; and it is interesting to learn that the right sort of welfare worker can get "next to"—and influence for the better—even the toughest ado- lescent. At least this is the preliminary conclusion in what has been one of the world's most startling social welfare experiments—one which in- volved the attempted regeneration elf three Harlem gangs known as 1'he Purple Knights, the Royal Counts and The Flashes. Some three years ago the Wel- fare Council became concerned over the amount of gang fighting going on in that city. It was esti- mated that there were no less than 1400 of these gangs in operation in New York City with varying amounts of weapon carrying, steal- ing and rows with the police. Reporting on the first year's pro- gress the president Of the Welfare Council said, "I don't think we've worked a miracle, but the fact that these groups have not engaged in any fights during the year is sound reason to believe that their interests have shifted from undesirable ac- idvities to the better sort." He went on to say that the field workers are not "out to break up );lig gangs. They are not out to tell the boys who should be their leader, but to work with the 'estab- lished leader. We think that the gang is an absolutely natural and potentially desirable group, and be- feve that efforts to break it up are doomed to failure." The field workers use different methods to establish contacts with the gangs. One spent many hours in the boys' hangout—a candy store. f'lnally, they invited him to play ootball with theta. Another was introduced by friendly members to a gang es "a guy who can help you with a hasketbali team and things e. like that." ' Convinced now that it is possible to gain acceptance in such clubs, the welfare workers now plan to go tm strengthening their efforts. Their eureeee up to now might furnish an idea to those in various Ontario eolintionities who are worried over tl,e ie rra,e in juvenile delinquency' ',-,r,pert for the law. PUDDING BY THE TON: Housewives work out their recipes for Christmas pudding in terms of pounds, but Fred Conwax, chef instructor for the Canadian National Railways, has the annual task o'f' preparing three tons — or 29,000 servings— of the traditional Yuletide dessert. Working in a railway dining car with two assistants, he produces this 3 -ton pudding entirely by'hand in the brief space of two weeks. The special and proven CNR recipe calls for 675 pounds of sugar, 600 pounds of suet, 1200 pounds of raisins, 600 pounds of currants, 600 }pounds of mixed peel, 600 pounds of bread crumbs, 300 pounds of flour, 600 pounds of dates, 300 pounds of prunes, 300 pounds of carrots, 125 pounds of assorted spices, 78 dozen lemons and 300 dozen eggs. With a wooden spoon, Mr. Conway mixes the ingredients in a huge chrome plated bowl and measures out the pudding into 1g pound containers. Three hours later they are cooled, sealed and made ready fere distribution to various points along the 23,500 -mile CNR system. PLORT , /A Slim1TCtC Jockeys—the ,,race -track, not the "disk" variety—have a way of go- ing up like a sky rocket, then com- ing' down like the stick; and it is rather saddening to look bacic over the years and recall the number of lads who were hailed as "second Earl Sand's" their first season out, and then faded into obscurity. * * Principad reason for is, of course, is that these young jockeys, during their first year of riding or the big- gest part thereof, have the advant- age of their "bug allowance" which is stable slang for the several pounds weight advantage which. jockeys get during their "appren- tice" period. Five pounds or so less weight in the saddle often means "the difference between a winner and an also-ran, and helps ' greatly to offset the superior knowledge and cunning which comes with experi- ence. a * . ,..o it's a little too early to try and .guess whether little Clarence Picou has the makings of a •great riding )star, or is just another first year "flash in the pan." At all events 100 pound Clarence has been having a great year; and although betting on jockeys is said to be the speed- iest of all race -track ruin, anybody following his mounts and betting on everything he rode mightn't have done too badly. Speaking of another sort of horse- racing—the "harness" variety—old- time lovers of the sport will be im- crested in learning that Hollywood is making a film based on the life of an animal who many think was the greatest of them all—Dan Patch no less. Who is to act as Dan's "stand-in" for the flicker we haven't heard as yet; but we wouldn't mind making a few small bets that, whoever it is,,he won't be able to come through the stretch as fast as the original, who was really something to watch when he was "turning on the heat." Wrestling fans—as we've said be- fore—are a breed all by themselves, and there doesn't seem to be any- thing too raw for the promoters to offer them. They have "man against alligator" matches and the folks eat it up. They have wrestling between two-man teams and so forth. But when a Toronto promoter announc- ed a match with no less than six of the behemoths in the ring we thought he'd gone too far even for wrestling bugs. The result? Something like fifteen thousand or thereabouts paid attendance—and the crowd whoop- ing their heads off just as if they didn't know, deep inside them, that it was all about 90 per rent histrion- ics. As a matter of fact out in Los Angeles—another spot where the grunt -and -groan boys go over in a huge way—one of the newspapers lists news of the matches, not on the sports pages, but In the drama' col- umns—which is just about where. it belongs. * ., And yet, when talk gets around to athletes who showed outstanding gameness, it is always a wrestler we think of as the gamest of them all. His name was Gus Sonnenberg, ISSUE 350 -- 1948 who had made a big name for him- self as a college footballer—Dart- mouth,.. we. think—principally.. be- cause the viciousness of his "flying tackle"— a method of bringing an adversus to a full stole which was later outlawed. * Sonnenberg was induced—by the offer of huge amounts of folding money=to cash in on his football rep by becoming a wrestler., One of the principal things a wrestler must learn is how to protect himself —how to take, apparently, a really terrific -looking and sounding tumble to the canvas, and still not break any bones. Matter of fact most top wrestlers are more tumblers' and acrobats than anything else. • < * * Sonnenberg didn't have thejbuild for a wrestler, being fairly 3htn,;and stocky; and had learned but few of the rudiments of the gauge, especial- ly in this hatter of self-preservation. Due to his greenness, he reallyftook , an astounding amount of punish - 'extent every time he climbed through the' ropes; but he always gave the promoters—and the customers—full value for their money, and a little bit extra. * x v, . Time after time we've seen Sonn- enberg throw himself through the air at an opponent—miss the target —and land smack against the ring corner post. His body was covered with bruises from ankles to neck— but he never let tip for a single Stant. Yes, when they talk about game athletes, we don't wind casting a 'vote .in favor of Gus Sonnenberg, even if he was a wrestler. He only lasted a couple of seasons, as we remember it. Any longer and he'd have undoubtedly broken his neck. It was said that Gus retired from the mat with something around a million dollars—which could have been as he surely could pack them them in. But whatever the real amount might have been, we would *ay that Gus the flying -tackler earned every last cent of it! Breed of Cattle With a Past On one Eizglish nobleman's .es- tate in England there is a herd of Arabian horses which are descend- ed £rem ancient tinges, These, How- ever, are surpassed in history by a herd of some 50 white cattle on the estate of the Earl of 'l:ankerville at Chill'ingworth, Northumberland, in line of descent in .13ritain since be- fore the Roman erg about 2,000 years ago. The British Whites, as they are called, were themselves the de-' scendants of the ancient ataro chs, the wild oxen of prehistoric days which roamed Europe and. Asia, and are mentioned several times in the Old T e'tament. They were, says a writer ,in the Belfast Tele- graph, originally black, and the story of how their British descend- ants came' to be all white—except for the'tips of the horns—has been pieced together by historians and naturalists. It appears that the aurochs, like most other "colored" creatures, ocasionally produced albino off- spring. These white freaks were probably regarded with awe by the superstitious Britons,, and, as the Druidic religion developed, the white cattle were adopted by the priests and were worshipped as sacred animals. Of the calves of these white cattle not all were white, but those that were not must have been carefully weeded out until the ail -white strain became predominant. By the time the Romans arrived' the original black cattle were prob- ably extinct in Britain. The British Whites continued to flourish until the Middle Ages when specialized breeds, akin to some of those we know today, were developed most- ly on the Continent. They might have become extinct long ago but for the enthusiasm of a small group of naturalists who formed a trust to ensure that these living links ,with the past should not altogether disappear from Britain. Never very tante, the survivors became increasingly shy, and few visitors are permitted to intrude• upon their 'solitude. After more than 2,000 years the influence of their wild black fore- fathers is still'apparent, and to this day the white cattle 'of Britain occasionally produce black calves, Sun Menace There is a tendency to exagger- ate the vital importance of sunlight. Bliptered sun worshippers put a strain on the kidneys, may develop toxemia or shock, and even die. Pan- ple with an -unstable nervous sys- tem, an overactive thyroid gland, high blood pressure, heart disease, or active tuberculosis must be es- pecially careful about getting an overdose of sunshine.
