nothing to do with the first three
tourneys, having seceded over the
vexed question of "broken time"—
that is, paying amateurs for the
time they must be away from work
and wages while taking •part. Since
the war, however, the British have
agreed to "reasonable payments" to
amateurs and have entered the four'
already -mentioned teams.
* * *
The groups in the four zones for
the 195U competition work out like
this:
Just what sport enjoys the most
widespread popularity throughout
the world, we are not prepared to
say offhand, and it is too much of
an effort to dive into the dope and
check up at the moment. Still, after
looking over an account of the
preparations being made for next
year's World Cup soccer tourna-
ment, we would say that "fitba"
must be right up there with the
contenders.
* *
There are no less than 55 coun-
tries affiliated to the Federation
International de Football Associa-
tions, and of these—in spite of cold
wars, hot revolutions and other
upset conditions -32 are entering
the tourney, and preparing to send
send teams into the competition.
* * *
The Union of Soviets Socialist,
Republics—Russia for short—will
be the outstanding absentees, as
England, Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland are entered. Since
1946, the Russians have joined three
international governing bodies of
sport—soccer being one of these.
But their failure to enter for the
'World Cup"'affair caused little sur-
prise, as the finals will be staged in
South America, and it seems that
Mr. Stalin prefers to have his ath-
letes perform closer to hone, where
they would be assured of all the
comforts of life.
* *
This will be the first time the
World Cup has been competed for
by more than 30 countries since
it was first put up, back in 1930,
by Jules Rinfret. The British had

'1'his preliminary stage of the
tournament must be completed by
April 15, 1950. The victors, plus
Italy, then proceed to Rio de
Janeiro where the competition
proper is scheduled from June 28
to July 16. Four of the 16 teams
assembled at Rio will then be
"seeded" and placed one in each
section. The remaining 12 teams
are ballotted into the four sections
and each team plays against each
other to find a section champion.
Elaborate arrangements have
been made for the staging of the
tournament at Rio de Janeiro. The
Brazilians have undertaken to sup-
ply free air transport for all com-
peting nations and to house and
entertain thein. This will set the
Brazilians back something like
four hundred thousand dollars, but
it will be .more than recovered
from the attendance proceeds of 18
days' fanatic soccer. Most of the
higher -priced tickets have already
been sold, even long before' it is
known which nations will arrive in
Brazil.
* •k
The 1950 tournament is the sec•
and time the World Cup finals
have been played in South America,
where, incidentally, the Olympic
Games have yet to be held. The
first time was for the inaugural
series in 1930 when Uruguay was
the host nation and also the win-
ner. In 1934, when the tournament
tools place in Italy, the host nation
was again successful. The third
series was promoted by France
1938 and Italy retained the trophy.
Should the trophy again be won by
the Italians, they will keep it in
perpetuity, because it goes outright
t.> the country that wins three times
irrespective of whether they are in
siiccession or not.
k * *
Which should he enough about
soccer for the present—except this:
,Just why Canada's name should not
appear on the list we are not in a
position to say. But we are sure of
one thing, the reason cannot be fear
of snaking a poor showing. No mat-
ter flow weak a soccer teatn we
sant, it couldn't do worse than our
rlt+rr-r':t'atives its international
term is, track and field, and several
other pelts we might mention,
yl)c i:'s just that the soccer
'banger:" aren't as fond of travel
--at somebody else's expense, --as
i':ose who hang around some of
'r r'her pastimes.
"Yer Outi"—Umpire John Stevens signals a vigorous out as
Yankee second baseman Jerry Coleman tries to make it two
by firing to first base. Vern.Stephens of the Boston Red Sox
is forced out at second base in the second inning of an import-
ant Red Sox -Yank game at Yankee Stadium. The runner was
forced on a grounder by Bobby Doerr, who beat the. throw
to first.
"So you're thinking about re,
modelling your hen house. Well,
you're probably hoping to do one
of two things, either keep up with
tlhe Joneses in appearance, or com-
pete with them in earning power."
:F * *
That's the rather striking first
paragraph of an article I ran across
in a farm paper published out in
Iowa, and having borrowed that
much from Howard Bayles, a col-
lege poultry specialist, I think I'll
pass along to you some of his ideas
on
vhesubject. sub' ect. ( The article, by
the way. is headed "Cold Hens
Don't Lay — And Neither Do
Crowded Birds).
* * *
Appearances — such as a paint
job or new roof line — can wait.
But a better house to boost the
earning power of your flock cannot
wait — unless you like to give
money away.
* *
Many laying houses are as old
and outmoded as a Model T car.
They don't protect the flock from
heat in summer, or cold in winter.
* * *
Such houses are wet and un-
sanitary — perfect for diseases
and parasites. Some are too
small to house flocks in comfort.
k * *
They are responsible for more
low production than almost any
other one tiling. But many of them
can be fixed up to do a better job.
* * *
Suppose your house is too small.
Enlarging it by making it wider
may be the cheapest and best way
to get more room. Wide houses
are better, anyway.
k * *
It's, easy to widen a shed -roof
house. But gable -room (two way)
buildings can be widened, too—if
they're tall enough. You can safely
go as wide as 30 feet if the house
is to he insulated.
* * *
Another common fault with old
houses is the lack of temperature
control. The best layers will slump
if house temperatures drop 'way
down in cold weather. Insulation is
the only answer.
* * *
Sorry to say, many jobs of in•
sulation are not well done. For in-
stance, it's a waste of time to build
a double wall with just a ]'dyer of
paper between.
* * *
Three times as valuable is a
board wall on the outside of the
studs, another on the inside. Then
snake use of the space between by
putting in a dry fill of ground cobs,
chopped straw or other insulating
material.
* * *
But fill insulation calls for tight
walls. And board walls seldom are
tight enough.
* * *
So, it's absolutely essential to
line the inside of the outer wall
with Mind -proof paper—red radia
or building paper is best.
* * *
You can do it by snicking *trips
of the paper between the stalls and
tacking it temporarily to the outer
wall. The fill later will hold it in
place.
* * *
The inside wall l auat be vapo4'-
proo1, too. Again, as board wall
ISSUE 40 : i040
alone won't be tight enough' to
keep vapor from dampening the
fill and causing it to decay.
* * *
So, before nailing on the inner
walls, tack a layer of vayor-proof
paper against the studs. This, when
covered with the board wall, will
protect your insulation fill.

The Voice of Autumn
The owl has hooted in the even-
ing darkness. The voice of autumn
has echoed across the valley. There
is no mistaking it now, for although
the green world is still green it has
the gleans of dogwood berries turn-
ed scarlet and the shine of golden-
rod in the fence corners and the
glow of little white asters on the
meadow. There is the cider smell
of windfall apples in the orchard
and the wine tang in the vineyard.
You can close your eyes and know
thate the change is taking place.
Ripeness is fulfillment, and it
comes not at the peak of summer.
It comes when the season begins to
ease down the long hill toward win-
ter and ice, when the days shorten
and the stars of night begin to
gleam in longer drakness. Ripeness
is a summation, of long, hot days
and simmering sun 'and warm rain
and the flash of lightning across
the summer sky. It is the beauty of
blossom brought to the succulence
of fruit, the soft green of new stens
toughtened to the firm fiber of the
reaching twig, the winged seed of a
maple now rooted at the grass roots
and finding sustenance in the soil.
Ripeness is September, warm at
mid-day, chill at dusk and covered
with cool dampness at dawn.
The change is more than a matter
of sunlight and day -length, for there
is a rhythm in all growing things,
a rest and a resurgence. The seasons
belong to that rhythm, as do the
day and the night. But so does the
apple, and so do the goldenrod and
the asters. The peak is past. The
wave of the great rhythm now be-
gins to ebb, and the cricket sings,
the owl hoots, the crows call quer-
ulously. You can hear autumn from
any hillside.

This advertisement is an adaptation of one
of a series created by The House of Seagram
to tell the peoples of other lands about Canada
and her various products. For the past two
years this campaign has been appearing in
newspapers and magazines printed in many
languages and circulated through-
out the world.
Our prosperity is based on our
ability to sell our products to other
countries. Every Canadian has a
personal stake in foreign trade, for
one out of every three dollars of
Canada's national income results
bora our trade abroad. The more
dll% } ' K fiat
that the peoples of other countries know of the
quality, variety and prestige of our productsi
the more likely they are to buy from. us.
We feel that the horizon of industry does not
terminate at the boundary line of its plants; it has a
broader horizon,,afarther view—this
view embraces the entire Dominion.
That is why The House of Seagram
believes that it is in the interest of
every Canadianmany facturer tohelp
the sale of all Canadian products in
foreign markets. It is in this spirit
that these advertisements are being
published throughout the world.
