The right wheel wanted to turn right, the left wheel wanted to go Left, and the chassis leaned just a little left of center. Before dashing madly off in all directions. the driver had the broken tie rod repaired and disappeared down a one-way street. SPLORT Q S1X61TCI1' iC In the immortal words of Captain Gubbins, let a plain statement suf- fice. For various reasons it is neces- sary for this column to be written some days in advance. Furthermore, while the conductor of same is not a resident of Toronto, that fair city fsiight be roughly known as his spiritual home. (And if the printer spells that "spirituous" there'lI be trouble.) * * * To get on with our tale of woe, this particular column was started immediately after the following un- toward happenings in the realm of sport; * * * (1) The Toronto Maple Leafs Baseball Club had been knocked out of the International League playoff series by—of all people—the Montreal Royals. * * * (2) The Toronto Argonaut Foot- ball Club had taken, not just a beat- ing but a real shellacking, at the hands—and feet—of the hated Ot- tawa Rough Riders. * * * (3) The Toronto Balmy Beach Football Club had raised a vast lack of enthusiasm in the bosoms of their most ardent supporters by failing to score even once while the Wind- sor Rockets were. tallying a jolly 35 • points. * * (4) The best thing of the season —"just like oil in the can„ or money from home"—was a filly named "Flying Alice," favorite in the Grey Stakes at dear old Wood- bine Park, known to all horse -lovers as the place where they really run to form. Breezing homeward well in front the young lady suddenly got the idea that her ; name was "Swimming Alice," headed for Lake Ontario, and pulled up a lovely last. * * * So it is sincerely hoped that the customers will understand why, to- day, this column is of necessity brief and tinged with gloom. Some genius once said that one picture is worth a thousand words — so here's the picture. The one thing wrong is that the artist got the name on that tomb- stone spelled wrong. It should be "DOUGH" not "DOR." EAT UP One who has lived with a garden all summer comes now to the time when a sense of immediacy begins to close in. Days shorten. Growth slackens, The garden is still full and overflowing with plenty, but one knows that it may be the last full crop. The season grows late. At planting time the season stretched ahead almost without limit. The first fruits were precious, garner from the fertile soil. Mid- summer brought bounty. Then so much came at once that there was ' a surfeit, But now, with an end in sight when the frost shall come creeping up the valleys, the garden is precious again. Corn is at its peak, but will the late corn have time to mature its ears? Early lettuce bolted in the heat; will the late lettuce, now be- ginning to head, make its way to the salad bowl? Wll the scattered blossoms on the limas make pods, or is this present crop to be the last? And what of the string beans and the summer squash? What of the cauliflower—will it, • or the frost, win out? One picks the pods and the ears, pulls the carrots and appraises the beets. One watches the winter squash, and Looks for signs of blight on the tomato plants, wondering which of the green tomatoes will ripen. And the flavor, once the gar- den comes to the table, is almost as good as it was when the. first small peas were eaten. The season that was going to last forever be- gins to fade; days lie ahead when there will be neither pod nor ponce in the garden but only dry stalks and frosty ground. Eat up! The end is in sight, with early fall upon us. HIS ERROR A bombastic man met his hen- pecked friend, whose face suggested a recent accident. "How did that happen?" his friend asked. "My wife . " "Your wife? Ah, evidently you have not acquired the secret of maried bliss. I never have a row with my wife. 1 have no secrets • from her," "Neither have i!" the other sighed. "That's the trouble. I only thought I hadl" ONCE BITTEN A lawyer was walking along the street when he met a friend to whom he had recently given some simple legal advice and to whom he had sent his usual sizeable bill. "Nice day, isn't it?" remarked the friend, and then added hastily: "But I'm not asking you: I'm tell- ing you." --- By Harold Arnett Il' F ACK FOR, 11177C4SE HERE'S A SIMPLE RACK MADE OF CARDBOARD, WWICH WILL ANSWER ' THE PROBLEM OF WRINKLE!'

Much of our strength and vitality stems from this blending of racial and cultural heritages. It is a matter of pride to all Canadians that so many races, without sacrificing their national characteristics, have united them- selves into one great citizenship — the Canadian Family. Gallant Belgium, whose poppy - carpeted fields of Flanders hold ten- der memories for many Canadians, has sacrificed much in the cause of a 41,00. freedom. Comprising two distinct racial groups — the 'Flemings and the Walloons — she has given many of her sturdy sons to Canada. Among them have been many distinguished figures in Canadian arts and sciences. The majority, however, specialize in agriculture and have done much to, stimulate tobacco -growing in, Ontario and Quebec. In the laid -west many have become successful dairymen. A devout, thrifty and dependable people, they have earned the respect of their fellow -citizens for their con- tribution to Canada's progress. DISTILLERS (Canada) Lirnited AMHERStSURG s ONTARIO Calvert, Secretary of State to King James 1, and head of the famous Calvert family, founded one of Canada's first colonies In Newfoundland in 1622.
