Great Britain
in i..0a1,4:gi it is being witisptrud
that there's even a chance of the
King abtiieatil)g in favor of the
Princess Elizabeth -- and that His
Majesty's ilium is ntnch ..note
serious than Wits at ti rst given out.
There is a real danger of his losing
one or both of his legs.
Both Ic'gs aro affected by the dis-
ease—called thromboangiitis --which
causes a continuous contraction of
leg arteries and obstructs the blood
supply to the feet. The greatest peril
is that this supply may be altogether
tut off, causing gangrene.
It has been revealed that the
King was first afflicted as far back
as last October. While shooting at
Sandringham he remarked on the
dumbness of one of his feet. Pass-
ing by a stone wall he kicked his
boot against it and was surprised to
find that he could feel no sensation.
But he delayed letting his doctors
know about it, and insisted on
snaking several tiring public appear-
ances late in October. His last such
aipptarance was when he walked for
two hours, sometimes over plough-
ed fields, at a Farm Engineering
Show.
Just before the royal birth,
doctors were visiting him frequent-
ly, the crowds gathered outside the
Palace imagining that they were
there to see the Princess.
Every effort is being made to
make King George take plenty of
rest, but he's a stubborn patient and
it's said he has even refused to give
up smoking. Front time to time he
has visited the royal baby, and he
insists on keeping up with his work,
such as carefully scanning all state
papers before signing them.
Just how it will all come out no-
body—even the physicians—can do
more than guess. But millions, in
all parts of the world, when next
they sing "God Save the King," will
do so with more fervor and meaning
than in the past. In the meantime
other members of the Royal family
—including Prince Philip—are tak-
ing over the scheduled engagements
of His Majesty.
Japan
it isn't many months since aer-
ials) United States interests—the
Hearst papers especially — were
boosting General Dangles Mac-
Arthur as the next President of the
United States. Judging by he
General's most recent actions.
Americans may feel themselves
:lucky that they escaped sent a fate
as I'racArth:ur acts pretty much as
ouch dicators as Mussolini and
Hitler once did. In other words,
what he says goes.
As supreme commander in Japan,
MacArthur was the sole reviewing
authority on sentences passed on 25
Japanese war criminals. He confirm-
ed all of these in a memo calling his
action an "utterly repugnant" duty,
and urging the Japs to mark the
seven hangings with a day of
prayers of peace.
But just what that day was to be,
MacArthur wasn't saying. Report-
ers were barred as witnesses to the
executions, and even personal ap-
peals to the general, asking that the
bodies of the executed men be re-
turned to their families went un-
answered.
Of course, those condemned to
death included former Premier
Tojo and several high ranking Jap
]eoilitary men. One cannot help won-
llering whether—had the executions
been those of common privates, the
General would have acted in quite
much an "up -stage" manner.
Some Juicer !—If you plan to
'hold open house this New
Itears,
` laow about a. "fruit
juicer" like this. :It will take
sa pretty big house to accomo-
date it though, because the
'juicer" is really as 150 -ton
needle valve which will help
fontrol the flow of ;millions of
gallons of water.
Not A Worm, But A Kiss—This "early bird"—a pet canary
owned by Alice Simpson of Winnipeg, gets a "Good morning".
kiss from the family spaniel, The dog seems unafraid, and
vice versa. Dog's name, by the way, is "Manitoba Red Queen"
which is why_ we omitted the name of the Province after
"Winnipeg."
"The most outstanding thing
about Canadian - foaled horses,"
spoke up a trainer of Hibernian
ancestry, "is that they do continu-
ally a -beating of one another."
* * *
Sometimes, when on a Monday
morning we scan the National
Hockey League weekend results,
we cannot help thinking of that opi-
nion.. The boys "do continually be
a -beating of one another" and no
mistake, and the form reversals—
sometimes overnight — would be
highly shocking if they occurred,on
the race track.
* * *
But, of course, in hockey nobody
pays any attenion tosuch things.
With the scramble stuff they call
hockey nowadays, anything may
happen—and usually does. The way
the schedules are arranged—so as
not to miss any of those highly
lucrative Saturday and Sunday
crowds—isn't what you might call
conducive to formful playing. And
when, recently, the Maple Leafs
had to play no less than four games
bi the space of five days — well,
what could you expect?
* *
Those same Maple Leafs still
seem to be—at this time of writing
—to be suffering slightly from too
rnuch success in the past, They can't
seem to get out of their minds the
fact that they were world champions
for two years in a row, and that their
mere reputations should be enough
to make some of these "Johnny -
come lately" outfits throw up hands
and say "Uncle."
* ,p *
This the opposing clubs just plain
refuse to do — the upstarts! — with
the result that many loyal Maple
Leaf fans, those of the radio variety
in particular, have been going
around since• the season opened,
wearing a slightly dazed and be-
wildered expression.. , ,
* * *
However they're probably doing
a lotof unnecessary worrying. Taken
on mathematical percentage alone,
it's easier to get into the National
playoffs than it is to stay out of
them; and and we have no doubt
that they'll be there or thereabouts
when the real shooting starts.
they're too good a club—with too
much reserve strength in back of
them to be in any real danger of
elimination. Still, when playoff -time
arrives, we feel that the Leafs are
in for much stronger opposition than
they met last year, or the year ']e -
fore.
* * *
That Detroit club looks as if it
would cause any of them plenty of
grief, and Les Canadiens and Boston,.
Bruins can neither of them be left
out of your calculations. And as
long as Roy Comelier and one or
two more of the Black Hawks last
there's even a possibility of the
Chicago team •being up there et
season's end—which would doubt-
less be the biggest shock Windy
qty folks received since Truman
K.Oed what -was -his -name?
* * *
In the meantime --or so they tell
us, as we do not often have a chance
of hearing him in person—Foster
Hewitt remains in good form and
voice. And so long as that is the
case, what more can the millions of
long-distance M.L. fans wish for?
So long as Foster can keep up that
vital of ftxcitement—so long as he
tint sound as though the Leafs have
as chance, even i! four goals be-
hind and with four seconds to go—
all is well with those who believe
that big-time hockey is an erxclusi-
i'vely Saturday night affair.
* * *
There are plenty of them, too,
more flower to them. In fact if we
were aasked. Whet individual had ex-
ercised the greatest influence in
Canadian hockey during the past
couple of decades, it wouldn't be a
star player such as Syl Apps we'd
name; it wouldn't be an owner such
as Conny Smythe; it wouldn't be
a coach such as Dick Irwin or Jaak
Adams. It would be Foster Hewitt—
the voice of hockey—whose word -
pictures of the game may lean
slightly to the sensational, but who
has built up for the Leafs a follow-
ing that is probably unique hi all the
world of sport, with the exception
of the Notre Dame Football Team.
* *
Doing that anywhere would be a
real 'achievement, but doing it for a
team representing what is probably
the most -disliked city in Canada—
Hogtown l—well, it's no wonder our
vote rvouldgo for Foster H. as the
outstanding hockey figure of the
year—any years We never heard
him broadcast a chess game; but
we'd bet he could make it sound as
though the ringsiders were hanging
on the ropes with their e1bdeys.

bloodless revolution -a Vene-
zuela military junta seized

ord-
ly. heavy -antlered moose, once the
most avidly sought prize of New
llrut„uick's forests, a big gam
attraction that lured celebrities here
from all over North America in the
hnutiug season, can today crash
boldly • through the woods --right
past red -jacketed hunters with their
rules at the ready—and nobody can
legally even raise a tiugcr to molest
hied, says the Saint John Tele-
graph -Dispatch.
"I1I 1110re Mall of cite
sitecies can stride right into a
community the size of Saint John,
as one great bull 01o00e did the
other day, and romp about in a
mane garden while the house -hold-
er helplessly says "Shoo" and wish-
es the ungainly visitor with the mis-
guided sense of humor ' would go
away. This . one, as a matter of
fact, did go away finally, but halted
in the middle of a street and
brought traffic to a standstill while
it figured out which direction was
back to the woods.
• Protected. By Law
Moose can be indifferent to hu-
mans these days because they have
been protected by law in New
Brunswick ever since 1937, and no
one seems to know it better than
the animals. -themselves do. At that
time, the loss of life caused by
hunter's rifles and the tick had seri-
ously thinned out the moose popu-
lation. The surviving animals were
retreating .away from timberlands
where extensive lumbering opera-
tions had destroyed much of the
natural. cover. Food was harder for
them to get, because of the ravages
of tree diseases and tree insect
plagues, and the decrease in the
number of beavers meant fewer
dammed -up streams and lily ponds
for the moose to browse in. Pre-
dictions were heard on all sides
that, like caribou, which were seen
in herds of 150 to 200 in New Bruns-
wick during the last century, moose
would soon be extinct as far as that
province was concerned.
So moose -hunting was stopped.
Since then, year by year, the huge
creatures have been making a slow
but steady comeback. About three
years ago a census taken by game
wardens during the Winter, when
moose are concentrated in "yards,"
estimated there were about 7,720 in
New Brunswick. This scounds like
a lot, perhaps—but actually it is
less than half the number of deer
shot each Fall in the province. Last
year the annual report of the De-
partment of Lands and Mines com-
mented with satisfaction that the
moose population was continuing to
increase, especially in the northern
and central areas.
Father of Railways
The lives of millions of people
all over the -world have been influ-
enced by the life and work of a
Northumberland pit -boy, George
Stephenson, the centenary of whose
death was celebrated this year.
Stephenson's first job was under-
ground, and he would not read till
he was eighteen, but before his
death at Chesterfield, when he was
rich and successful, he had ensured
great and lasting fame by his in-
vention of his steam locomotive,
the Rocket, forefather of the great
locomotives of today.
His first money wag' earned by
minding his'neighbour's cows for
the princely sum of twoperfce a
day, but in his spare time he made
clay engines and used hemlock for
the steam pipes.
Then he went down the pit and
his mining days convinced him of
the need for better nlachihery un-`
derground. This set him thinking
about engines and how to build and
improve them. Stephenson was Sir
Humphrey Davy's riyal in the
search to design and patent a :safety
lamp for mines working in danger-
ous pits. There is a statue of Steph-
enson in Newcastle and n;s second
memorial, if he needs one, is to be
found on Tyneside, where the min-
ers to this day are Geordies, because
their forefathers used the lamp that
Geordie Stephenson designed for
thele. The little cottage at Whilan
where he was born is to be bought
for the public and may possibly be-
come a Stephenson museum,
Stephenson's was a wonderful ex-
ample of the success' 'story'.'No tri-
umphs can have been better dose -v
ed than those of the "father or
railways" and they were won by
hard work and perseverance allied to
genius. But no one ever carried
himself more modestly in the face
of world-wide fame.
