Radio Hockey
Hockey is Canada's national win-
ter sport. But' even at that, it would
be a comparatively little known
game to what it is to -day without
the radio. -
It . is really amazing the ...interest
that the radio has created in hockey
by the broadcasting_ of the games of
the great professional teams
Nor does that interest apply to
any. age. Naturally, youth. has an
interest in all games, "hockey includ-
ed, but wedoubt if . youthful enthus-
iasm exceeds or even equals -the in-
terest and enthusiasm for hockey.
that has been implanted in the minds•'
of the older generations during the
past year or two.
Men of fifty, sixty, seventy and up-
wards, and many women too, of the '
same age, rare now ardent 'hockey
fans. Most of these men, and all pf •
the women, have in all probability,
never had a 'hockey stick in, their
hands, or have ever seen a game of
real hockey.
That,' however, does not in (any
way dampen their enthusiasm. , Far
from it. They know hockey as the
radio plays it. They know the names
of the players on the different teams°
and their records. They know the'
standing of ',the teams in the league,
and they cheer for their favorite
players and their favorite teams.
Thousand's of . people have attend-
---ed the hockey games in the Maple
'Leaf Gardens in Toronto this season,
and thousands more the recent play
off games for. the. Stanley Cup.
But great as has been the interest
of those who patronize these games
from outside .centres as weIl as To-
ronto, and who ' really see the play,
there are a thousand for every one
of them who follow the games, over
the radio.
It is an interesting pastimethis
radio "• hockey, and a cheap one. Ey-
ery fan has a' box seat at every game
and does not have to g'o • out of the
home to occupy it.
But the games are over now and
Detroit -has won the Cup. Time is °
going tb hang heavy on our hands
until . tie :evenings get longer and

County Rates
At last week's session of the Perth
County Council, the CountyTreas-
urer, Mr. Robert • Hoggarth, iry his
address to the Council, made the pre-
diction that the county rate would '
have to be increased this year in' that
county, if their budget was to be bal-
anced.
In 1934 Perth County,. the Treas-
urer said, had a surplus of $17,000.
Thereupon the council dropped the
' county rate for the coming year and,
set it at three and a half mills. That,
they knew, would be very close fin-
ancing, but, no doubt, like other
county councillors, they also knew ,
the election value of making a reduc-
tion in taxes.
The :temptation was there and they
yielded to it. Unfortunately, for
thein, .they hewed a little too close tom
the line; went over it in fact. The ,
thr
three
and .A half mill rate not only
p the $1 '(,000 surplus, but• made.
it necessary to borrow some $50,000
from the bank, and to pay some $3,-
.000 in interest charges.,
That kind of financial reasoning
may not be corninort with county
councils, but certainly Perth is not
a lone exception. Members of coun-
ty ' councils know just as well .as
Members of private business con -
terns that a surplus earns money,
tirh"le :1va or an overdraft make
t: ; of ,interest - money a
1;d. n t run their Own
ed capital, ,When
the o 'a° ail-
able, but they will run county bud-
-
° mess—that..- Th -point with
pride to the low 'tax. rate; but they
keep the borrowed money and the
interest paid for .the privilege of . .
borrowing very much in the back-
ground.
• All county _councils have found it
much more simple matter to drop
the county rate than to raise it again
when occasion demands. So great is
the fear of a council of raising a
rate that they shy from it as from
a plague., It may be the business
thing to do,, but even good business
must not come before the chances of
being re-elected.
°
It is an idle fear, but it is thereall
the same, ever present in too many
county councillors' minds. The con-
stituents back home are neither ig-
norant nor unreasonable. They are
always willing to be shown. If' coun-
cillors would. spend . half as much
.time sh ing the constituents how
much co be saved by running the
•county's b iness on itsown capital,
instead of borrowed capital, as they
do in blowing about their penny
pinching, the increase of a mill -or
two in the couhty rate, or any other.
rate, will be .all right with any think-
ing taxpayer.

Playing Bandits
Two Kitchener boys were playing
"bank robber" last week, when one
01- them was seriously injured 'by a
bullet. And. The .Globe asks, -"Why
should boys of thirteen years of age
have ac,cess to firearms?"
Well, just show us any place where
firearms are kept, that la thirteen -
year old boy won't find access' too,
if he is so minded.
Playing bandit must be a sign of
the times. At any rate, we were a
• very -interested, but unobserved ob-
serVer of that game around our own
barn this week. •
It was a very gory game and the
slaughter was ferocious. The dead
and dying were lying sprawled about
the ground outside, and some, we be-
lieve, on the floors within:
To be sure the shooting was done
with cap pistols,, or by word of
mouth, but it was only that way, we
learned, because some one's air gun
•
was not available yet:...
And one young•bandit boasted'' that
if he had only had a real .gun, eyen
if he was wounded . and on the
ground, he could have .dropped the
besieged, one by one, out of the top.
door before they could get to cover.
And the patter and the lines that
went with the game were right out
. of the book and letter perfect. No
Movie stars , could have been better.
It was a gre..at game all right, ev-
en if . ti e contestants did feel that
the lack of real arms cramped their
style a bit. Bute even at that,. we
don't admit that -it had anything on
the old- Indian scout and scalping
game. •
There was something about a clout"
on the head with • a ' wooden toma-
hawk'that roused .the fighting spir-
it and made the will to live last'long
enough to get even. And a boy had
a chance in the Indian game. He
couldn't be shot at twenty yards. His
'foe had to come to him, and then it
was the best man who won..." ..
There was far rnore'stealth, more
exercise, more blood and more mud
in the old Indian game, too, but there
was no mean spirit , about it. No
shooting. from, cover, or anything
like that.
But if the' -bandit- game has come
to stay, parrits might just as. well
make up their minds to 'it, now, 'that
the technique ofm
the game is: con-
stantly going to improve, and if real
arms will improve it, why there will
be real • arms. There already have
been in Kitchener.
That is, -if parents are interested.

of insomnia, to change their .mrocle of
life completely, far a certain period'
of time The results were so 'as-
tounding that he elaborated a "na-
tural bed -time" law.
It .'appears that for the adult the
•
best 'sleeping time begins at 7 and

halt, hours sleep would be sufficient,

by this method. A sixty -year -cold
professor ,'tried it, slept from 7.15
until 11.36 p.m., then hiked about 50
miles in 18 hours, delivered an ad-
dress on bop of that and did not feel

eresant the° tragic s'ecr'ets of many a
famidp circle at the present day.
:When the 'prodigal .got his pa;tri-
mony into his .hands and started out
for the. far country, his idea was that
he was. going to see life and.=be a
man. The vision • cast' its spell 'at-
tractively over himh; and after it he
went with.„impel:'uous haste. Persuad-
ed that ... the siellf, with its capacity
for. sensual ;indulgences,• represented
what was most distinctive of man-
hood, he plunged headlong into a
:career of sin. Fortunately his nth -
stance was not unlimited. In course
of time he found that he had wasted
it all, for riotous living has never
been anytfhing else than; a costly
business. Fortunately,, too, he fell in
with no foolish, if well-intentioned,
philanthropist, who might have
sh'i'elded him from the consequences
of his wrong -doing, and encouraged
'him to believe that he had sinned
less than he had been sinned against.
