May Solve Ontario's Hockey Problem -The outdoor rink shown above is an architects draw-
ing f the kind of outdoor, artificial ice rinks which -have become so popular in recent years, all
over the United States, especially in New York City where the Rockefeller Plaza is a skating
surface of this kind. The building at the enol is a dressing room, refreshment booth, and refria-
,ration plant. Ten of these rinks are being built in Toronto and there will be two of them in
Hamilton. The refrigerating pipes are embedded in the polished composition floor so that it
makes a splendid surface for rpller skating and summer dancing.
Canadian farmers, and especially
those in the poultry business, owe
a real debt of gratitude to W. A.
Brown, C,B,E., i ho recently retired
to private life after 39 years with
the Dominion Department of Agri-
culture. For many of those years
he directed the activities of the
Poultry Marketing and Production
Service,•and it was under his guid-
ance that the poultry industry de-
veloped from something of a side-
line to farming, into the highly
.efficient and widespread organiza-
tion it is today. ;
a: +k
An Ontario man, Mr, Brown,
was, born 65 years ago in Meaford
and attended the Ontario Agricul-
tural College at Guelph aad the
University of Maine, He turned
down several promising offers of
academic work to join the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, in 1911, as a
poultry specialist.
.He pioneered in national poultry
breeding policies, and had the sat-
isfaction of seeing them established
in Canada Iong before they became
common in any other country. (Of
course, there is still Russia to be
heard from. Probably they'll be
telling us that one of their scien-
tists slid all that Brown did, and
more, several hundred years ago.
But that's by the way).
Other projects sponsored by
this leader an our poultry industry
were national grading standards
for eggs and poultry. When they
-were established in Canada in 1915
they were unknown in other coun-
tries. A refinement of this basic
principle of national gradings is
shown in the establishment of reg-
istered egg grading stations, all
operated on the same method, from
coast to coast.
As chief of the poultry services,
the procuring and marketing of the
tremendous quantity of eggs and
gg powder shipped to Britain dur-
ing the Second World War were,
largely Mr. Brown's responsibility.
That the job was well done is
shown by the fact that over 505,-
000,000 dozen eggs were shipped in
fresh, dried or frozen form, valued
at $191,000,000. In addition, $45,-
000,000 worth of dressed poultry
was sold to the United Kingdom
and the United States.
The high regard with which Ca-
nadian egg products were received
on the British market is a fitting
tribute to Afr Brown's untiring ef-
forts. That they met with such
praise goes back, in large measure,
to his pioneer work in establishing
national grading standards a gen-
eration ago. And I am sure every
reader of this column will join with
me in wishing Mr. Brown many
years in which to enjoy a well-
earned rest.
Thousands of farmers -and other
folic, too -have gone about mixing
their own concrete, and then won-
dered why the, job didn't prove any
too satisfactory, The Experimental
Farm at Swift Current hands out
some valuable advice on this im-
portant matter, and starts off by
saying -DON'T use tou much wat-
er in mixing concrete, and DON'T
FORGET to screen pit -run gravel.
Think of a brick wall. Here large
pieces of baked clay (bricks) are
held together with mortar. A mor-
tar that is too "sloppy" oozes out,
and a weak wall will result, z�:zkn-_
many ways, concrete is similar _iio. .
a -brick wall. Coarse material is<Iti�iti"
together by mortar. The mori�-r- iri.
this case is a mixture of sat9c(
Portland cement and water. This is
mixed along with the coarse ma-
terial all in the one operation.
The strength of the mixture when
it has "set" will depend upon the
amount of water used in relation to
the cement. Note this point. It is
the amount of water used in rela-
tion to the cement that is so im-
portant,
4< +k #
The dealer from whom you buy
your cement will be able to get
useful bulletihs on n ixing and
using concrete for you. Ask for
"Quality Concrete" and "What the
Farmer Can Do With Concrete."
These are published by the Port-
land Cement Association.
:% •k :k
It pays to screen pit -run gravel.
Then use the coarse and fine ma-
terial according to the directions.
If too much fine material is used
in relation to the coarse material,
more cement will be required. At
the Swift Current station, most pit -
run gravel contains too much sand.
It was found that a man's wages
could be paid screening the gravel.
A good workman would handle
enough material in an hour to save
Nearly one sack of cement.
Properly graded aggregates (sand
and gravel), the right amount of
water and cement, will give a dense
and strong concrete at a minimum
cost.

He Wrestles With
His pati pAter's Killer
Every day, Captain Jim Roose,
late of the Foreign Legion, wrestles
with the lioness which caused the
death of his ten -year-old daughter
--and his brother.
As well as grappling with the
lioness, as part of his act at a
french circus, lie puts his head in
her mouth, persuades her state to
take a piece of treat from between
his lips and lick his face.
During the war Jim Roose was
a prisoner. His brother managed
the show for him, and --his oaughtei-
used to come and go in the cages
and play happily with the lioness,
who returned her affection.
But one day the little girl's hair
-,vas bleached. She entered the cage
as confidently as ever -but the lion-
ess failed to recognize her. Mis-
taking leer for a stranger, the beast
leapt ... and within a few moments
the -little girl was dead.
.,Some time later the lioness sav-
�ged Jim's brother, who also died

Amateur hockey in Southern On-
tario is in a ratlier bad way, and it
isn't -as some allege -because the
rising generation prefers to take its
physical exercise via radio or tele-
vision. The condition is caused
simply by the scarcity of proper
playing surfaces.
We recall one "crooshial" game
down in Ottawa many years ago
when the Toronto St. Pats upset
the Highly favored Senators with
the players practically skating on
bare boards, and a weird hockey
spectacle it was, at that. But, by
and large, a certain amount of ice
is necessary if the "world's fastest
sport" is to be a success.
And, of recent years, the weather-
man has been clean neglecting to
provide natural ice in reasonable
quantities over a very large section
of this fair province of ours. The
result is that the kids in such sec-
tions don't get the necessary prac-
tice, so that big -league scouts -out
to get the replacement material -
now head north and west, and pay
little attention to what was once
the greatest breeding -ground .on
earth for hockey stars.
* +k >k
Many Ontario centres have been
attempting to combat this condi-
tion by building covered -in artificial
ice arenas. But this appears to be
a rather risky proposition. With
building costs what they are today,
the "nut," or original investment, is
pretty steep, especially when the

Elsewhere on this page will be
seen an architect's drawing of
something which may turn out to
be the solution of this problem -
the problem of a small or niedium-
size community providing the kids
with ice for skating and hockey
without going into hock for the
Next three generations or so. It is
the outdoor artificial rink.
Although new to Canada, this
type of rink is by' 110 means a
Johnny -come -lately. As far back as
1889, there was one built in that
dear Paris, although you can't
prove this by us, and the much pub-
licized and photographed orae at
Rockefeller Plaza, New York, is
also of this nature.
The rink -that is to say the play-
ing surface -consists of a polished
concrete slab, and the ice -making is
clone once a week or so by a boost-
er freezing unit, then kept in skat-
'iPz condition by auxiliary units
'that are part of the plant. Of course,
if the mercury drops low enough,
:;natural freezing takes the place of
artificial at a considerable saving.
We are not able to say -except
approximately -just what the ac-
tual cost would be, as compared to
a regular type enclosed artificial ice
arena. However, a committee from
one Southern Ontario community
recently went into the matter, and
this is what it found out.
To build a complete, covered
arena would cost them anywhere
from $80,000 to $125,000 -figures
far too high for them even to con-
sider at this stage. But they could
have an outdoor affair of the kind
we have been discussing for
around $30,000 -with. the "booster
freezing unit" setting them back
about $35,000.
* tk
Even this would appear to be
pretty steep, but it isn't as bad as
it looks at first sight. That's be-
cause the aforementioned commit-
tee found that there is a strong
possibility that they wouldn't have
to buy the booster freezing unit at
all, As we understand it, these
units are portable, and can be trav-
elled around the country, visiting a
number of places to do the neces-
sary "new" freezing -tile perma-
nent auxiliary units keeping the ice
in proper condition between visits.
Now we wouldn't like anybody
to get the notion that we're trying
to 'peddle this idea in any way,
shape or form. We don't even
know the name of the people who
make the rinks, or the freezing
units. Our entire knowledge con-
sists of what we have been told, or
have read in the papers. Still, when
it is said that no less than 10 of
these outfits are going to be built
in Toronto, and two in Hamilton, it
would seem that they must have
some merit. And we thinly there
ate litany places in Ontario that
would do well to look into them
before committing themselves to
expenses they alight later regret -
or sitting back and grousing, "Aw,
heck, the acids around here are just
too lazy to take an interest in play-
ing hockey; they'll sooner go to the
movies."
