Zurich Herald, 1949-11-03, Page 6In The Colossal Tradition - Hollywood's adjectives seem to affect canines, too, for Gregory Peck's Alsatian police dog re- cently put on quite a production of her own Her 13 puppies merited some nursing aid from the actor, who admits he can't produce pictures as fast as his dog produces puppies. A reader of this column has drawn our attention to the fact that we have not, so far, ventured to predict the outcome of the current Big League hockey race, or maybe it should be "endurance contest". He says "you were 100% correct in your baseball and race track fore- casts, so maybe you are quitting when you are ahead!" * * * It is so long -almost ten months -since we made the forecasts al- luded to, and at first we thought that our esteemed customer must have blown his top. However, on looking up the files, we found that we had predicted that the Phila- delphia Phils and the St. Louis Browns WOULD NOT win top honors in their respective baseball leagues; that the Kings Plate would fall to a colt or filly foaled in an - fall to a colt or filly foaled in Can - winner would be three years of age, no more and no less. * * * So the customer, as in all well regulated establishments, is right. That is calling them 100% - and we only wish we could have found a bookmaker who would have laid a price against the selections. * * * Now, much heartened by these almost -forgotten .triumphs, we dust off the old crystal ball and peer into the depths to try and discern what is going to happen in the National Hockey League. * * * And unless our skill as a seer has clean departed, here is what the future has in store, hockey -wise; No matter which two teams survive the lengthy grind -Maple Leafs and Red Wings is as good a guess as any -by the time they reach the end of that 70 -game schedule, they will be slowed down to such an extent that they are liable to play the Stanley Cup series on hands and knees. * * * Might be, at that, fully as interest- ing as some of these "classics" that have gone before. Speed, after all, is a comparative thing; and a contest between two evenly matched cock- roaches can be fall more exciting than one between CITATION and a thousand -dollar plater. * * * Anyway, those who take their hockey via the ether route need have no fears or forebodings of a dull winter. Even if the puck - jugglers are slowed down to a walk, the microphone -maestros will man- age to make it sound as exciting as though it were the CHARGE OF THE SIX HUNDRED with the original cast. As for the lads whose task it is to describe the games for daily newspaper readers - well, they have added a neat touch re- cently by detailing the exact num- ber of stitches necessary to close the wounds of the various hockey gladiators. * * * This last, we think, is something which will bear, and probably get, :further development. In feet, we shouldn't be too Much surprised to see scoring statistics reading aome- thing like this; O A SR SO Total Ezinicki 10 i 3 Ai 92 * * * The "«3R" and "SO" -just in ease you're worrying about it -would stand for "Stitches Received" and "Stitches Given"! ISSIitt 44 - 1049 Cold Cure Changes in weather frequently start colds in the hest of us, so here's another remedy you can add to the list. It comes from Texas, and is reputed to work four tines out of five. When you feel a cold coming on, before you go to bed, drink a glass of grapefruit juice, either fresh or canned, with a tablespoon- ful of baking soda added. Repeat the dose the following night. When you awaken on the second morning the cold should be gone. Sounds simple enough. DIONT J© 2a•r•tly (I'LL Probably most of you have read about this outstanding event al- ready. Perhaps some of you were personally present. But just in case some of you missed either reading about it or witnessing it, I'm going to pass along a brief description of what happened near Rrooklin, Ont., one day in September. * * * That was the day when more than 8,000 people watched a dilapi- dated 140 -acre farm converted - ehnost as though by magic - into a first-class producing unit by means of modern agricultural science. * * * Prior to its rebirth, the farm was in a miserable state. The buildings were sagging and weatherbeaten and unpainted for years, Wind ero- sion had played havoc with the top soil. Springy spots made cultiva- tion difficult or impossible. Deep gullies cut through the fields, * * * Then the miracle happened/ Giant bulldozers and other power- ful machines moved in. Undesirable scrub growth was uprooted. Large trees were blasted with dynamite. Sloping land was laid out for con- tour cultivation and a four-year rotation. Terraces were built to prevent gullying by run-off water. * * * A reforestation project was launched in an 'area infested with buckthorn and some other scraggy growths. Some 27,000 tiles were laid to drain boggy sections. Spray painting gave a new lease of life E LIVE{{ r�r, W itg� r� Without Calomel -- And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rerin' to Go liver should pour out about 2 pints 01 e uioe into your digeative tract every day. thie bile is not flowing freely your food may Poe digest.

A virtually use - lees piece of property bloomed out Salto a paradise , . , iri a single day. * .* * This experiment with the Brook - lin farm should make Canadians sit up and think, Hundreds of de- serted, unproductive farms are strewn across the country. Many others are offering a meagre exist- ence to their owners. I't has now been proved that such wornout land can be restored. Perhaps not in one day as was the case with the Brook - lin farm, but through co-operative efforts of governments and individ- ual farmers over a period of time. * * * And now here are some facts about crop losses which are really astonishing. We all know that the ravages caused by pests and plant diseases are great, but probably did not realize their full extent, Any- way, at the recent meeting of the international Congress of Crop Production, held in London, Eng., it was estimated that 50 per cent. or all the crops grown, harvested and stored are ravaged by plant disease and insect pests. k * * According to authorities of the Food and Agricultural Organiza- tion of U.N.U., annual losses of world grain crops alone to insects and diseases amount to 65,000,000 tons, Yearly losses frons potato blight were given as 10 per cent. of the entire crop. Even after the crops are harvested, an additional loss of eight per cent. is suffered. * * * During and since World War II, knowledge concerning the control of pests and diseases has been gradually expanding. Research has brought forward many new and highly effective insecticides and fungicides. But these are not the final answer, state international ag- ricultural experts. Their solution to• the problem as a whole would be to convince farmers that gains equal to those derived -frons fertilizer ap- plications can also be obtained from use of modern crop protection methods, Modern Art For 11 days artists and critics studied admiringly an abstract painting called "Composition" at a local art show in Leeds, England. Then a more observant viewer discovered it was hanging upside down - with the painter's initials topsy-turvy in the upper left-hand corner. e Artist Alfred Common was pleased to hear it. "I regard it," said he, "as a compliment on the coherence of the design." Some say beards are not hygienic. But a recent survey among stone- masons refutes this, since hairy.faces serve as a filter, keeping out dan- gerous dust, It was found. that clean-shaven masons frequently contracted silicosis. Those with moustaches suffered less front the complaint, and those with mous- taches and beards were found to be practicaily immune.
