Zurich Herald, 1949-08-04, Page 8Invading. England—A fierce -looking Viking assumes the pose of his ancestors when they invaded, England 1500 years. ago,.• He stands at the"prow of a replica, of the original craft that will bring him and his companions from Copenhagen to invade Eng- lish shores. The trip, planned 'by British and Danish travel associations, will commemorate the original landing. The Mod- ern Vikings will land on the beaches of Kent, then sail their craft up the Thames to London. WIIATGOES ON IN THE WOIILD 4NamanBlaie. THE UNITED STATES Reading certain United States newspapers and magazines, and listening to some of its radio com- mentators, one might get the idea that the 'development of the atom bomb was a purely American achievement—and that it is nothing short of impertinence for Britain or Canada tb expect to share in the secrets. Some American writers, however, take a saner view; and from an article by Ernest K. Lindley in. NEWSWEEK I quote the follow- ing: Britain began work on the de- velopment of the atom bomb before' we 'did. 'An exchange of atomic information between the two coun- tries began in 1940—In 1943 Churchill and Roosevelt agreed that the, two programs should be fused—The British halted nearly all of their research and development • projects and moved most of their key atomic scientists to this coun- try. Their accomplishments at this time had gone considerably beyond the research state. "Members of the British 'team' in the United States worked hand in hand with the Americans on some of the most secret computa- tions and processes, including the actual assembly of bombs at Los .Alamos. "Our Atomic Energy Act of 1946, however, put Britain and Canada on the same basis as 'other foreign countries. It prohibited the Atomic Energy Commission from exchang- ing information with other nations —and from distributing fissionable materials to any person outside • the jurisdiction of the United States. The question of British and Cana- dian equities received little con- sideration at that time chiefly be- cause the governments of all three countries looked forward to the creation of an atomic authority under the United Nations. That hope was gradually strangled by the Soviet Union. Mr, Lindley goes on to tell how the United States Act prohibits the Commission from giving a vast and .. growing amount of technical in- formation which Britain and Can- ada want, and to which they feel entitled. He also points out that the chief sources of high-grade uranium ore are Canada and the Belgian Congo, where the British have cer- tain contractural rights which • might be used to cut off supplies now going to the United States. "Britain knows how to make atomic weapons," Lindley con - chides, "If it is to be denied a firm and full partnership with the United States, including' perhaps sure ac- cess to atomic weapons in case of need, it may reasonably be expected to fermi other atomic liaisons, cer- tainly within the commonwealth and conceivab'y with France," All of which sour,'; like a far more sane and rational view than you'd get, for instance, from the lit, :• : newspapers or the Chicago "Tribune. POLAND "'There'll be pie in the sky bye - and -bye" would seem to be the theme=song in Poland, where every- body who has anything to do with gunning the country, from President Bierut 'down, seems to be fairly gushing enthusiasm for the new 6 - year plan of economic recovery. The new • program is scheduled to start around December 1st., which • is the tentative date fixed for completion of the first three- year plan which started in 1946. Right now the accent is on what conies next. The Communist -domin- ated Government predicts • that by 1955 • the following things, among many others, will have come to pass; National income will be- 97 per cent higher than in 1949; produc- tion in state-owned industries will rise 114 per cent; Poland will be producing 110,000 motor vehicles annually including 60,000 trucks; 'sugar production will jump from an expected high this year of 620,- 000 20;000 tous to 900,000 tons; 600,000 new homes will be built at a cost of $725,000,000. And that is by no means all. Educational facilities will 'be ex- tended by 181 per cent; radio re- ceiving apparatuis will be increased from the present million sets to two and a half million; the Polish merchant fleet will be tripled, and there will be plenty more which I haven't space to detail here. But there's just one factor which I would advise being taken into consideration before you decide to turn'your back on Canada and set sail for Poland. Whatever Poland needs in the way of capital goods for all this expansion, it expects to get largely from Soviet Russia during tihe next six years. Well, as the fellow said, they can't jail you for hoping. How'd You Like To Be An Announcer? Women radio listeners who have always thought tlhey might be able to do a fair announcing job them- selves will have the chance of their lives at this year's Canadian Na- tional Exhibition. Mrs. Kate Aitken, women's di- rector, has announced that this year in the Women's World 'The - ere there is to be a daily contest to find the best woman announcer. Daily winner's will then compete for the top awards, Each contestant will be asked to put on a 10 -minute music show— ;recordings, of course. Between numbers, she will be asked to give the time of day; a weather an- nouncement, a plug for the C,N,E,, and make •a few personal comments if she wishes, At the close of the Ex,, those given top honors will be given guest spots on regular radioN- grams ' originating from the fair grounds. SPORT Just a week ago, we took 'a few casual raps at the form of athletic pastl'ming known as track and field, and right away, one of our fans who never misses a 'single, word we write (rhe has to read proof on it) handed us a sharp reprimand, hi ' fact, a couple of them. * * * First, he made a mila'routine beef that either our typewriter or our spelling was rapidly getting worse,. although he thought maybe it :night be a combination of both. Then he took us to task for not makingan exception — in potting the blast -on track and field meets - in the case of one particular variety of the same. "Where . else will you see such uncomplaining gameness, such „anent heroism," he demanded, "as you will at the—?" * * But perhaps we had better explain the whole matter for the benefit of those who do not reside ' in or near the fair City of Toronto. * * * For untold years, the police force of that metropolis a noble body of troops if ever there was one, and we only hope they read this far— have been throwing annual sessions of track and field, known familiarly as' the Police Games. And as far back as we can remember, said games had been notable, among' other things, for the minute per- centage of . spectators who turned out, as compared with the huge :number of tickets sold. t * * Some day — maybe rightafter we cash in on the. :next Irish Sweep —we intend doig a lot ,of` deep research into the problem of wily members of a police , force: find it so much easier , to sell tickets to benefits, concerts and other such rackets than ordinary folk, espe- cially if they happen to be members w,ho customarily go round placing parking tags on . folks' jallopies. Until then, however, it must remain a mystery, although you may take our word that it's so. * * * Anyway, the police athletes used to perform to wide acreages of seats that had been sold, but remained vacant until some genius thought of pepping things up with an added attraction. Furthermore, this added attraction turnedout to be nothing but a beautycontest, in -whisk some { of the sightlrfer young members of, the opposing sex parade around at- tired ttired in nothing but a few loose bandages and one thing and an- other. * * * Well, from that moment forward,:. Police Games in Toronto — also in other centres, they tell us, which copied the idea — changed into tonrpletely different affairs. Instead of citizens paying out 'good dough for the privilege of staying away, they turned out by the tens of thousands _ turned out in such quantities that the hearts of those addicted to track and field were made glad. "At long last," they said to themselves, "the 'merits of track and field are beginning to receive, proper recognition. Before long, who knows but Canada will be right in the same class in such spots as Sweden, Norway, Russia and other enlightened lands where the spiked shoe and the vaulting pole can out- -draw the baseball bat or the hockey' puck 10 to 1, or better?"

PAR BUILDERS SUPPLY LTD., 1465 Tense Street, Toronto, MA. 0581 But, alas and slack, for soMe un- known reason it hasn't turned out. quite that way, and -that is why, at the Police Games, you will witness scenes of uncomplaining gameness and silent heroism our proof-reading friend was alluding • to when we choked him off with a wad''of copy paper. * * * First of all, there are the athletes out there in the broiling stns; sprint- ing, hurdling, juinping and pole- vaulting their little hearts out, and trying to look as if they imagined somebody, outside of the officials, cared a hoot about what they are doing. That takes real gameness, friends; because every last one of those athletes knows right well that 99 and 44-100 per cent. of the spec-, tators wouldn't care if every one of them dropped dead, being interested solely in the cheese -ca — we mean, of course, the added attraction. * * * But dont go away; you haven't heard anything yeti. While those male athletes show gallant courage under sus h punishment, theirs is by iso means the only 'exhibition of silent heroism r--• or maybe it ,should be,theroinism - you will behold at Mese spectacles. * * * For, after those sightlier members of the fair sex have paraded around until they are in clanger of third- degree sunburn, then comes the judging. And after the judges have done their stuff, all • the lightly garbed contestants line up on either side of the one who has been finally Chosen to wear the Crown of Beauty. . * * * And as those lovelies stand there with wide toothpaste smiles on their kissers, you would imagine from the expression on their faces that they are just dying to shout, "Three rousing cheers! Isn't Ver- myntrude just too sweet and aren't those judges the dillies! pickers for "choosing her as Beauty• Queen?" * * * They do this, and get away with it; 'when all the time yog know that the best they are wishing Vermyn- trude is a broken . neck and that they would pay good money to slit the judges from ear to eat, That, friends, is sheer silent gameness; and we greatly doubt if the male of the species can match it, any time, any place; in peace or in war. •SALLY'S SALLIES "Wouldn't it be easier, dear, to weed out the vegetables?"
