COCK 0' THE NORTH
In one of our major magazines,
I've just been reading a regular
feature which is written by a Cana-
dian
ansdian who thought he could do bet-
ter across the Atlantic in the
Mother Country than he could in
Canada.
Nowhave no quarrel with that
kind of thinking at all, although the
way tlltagei look thesee days it would
seem that most of us are better_o f
at hozp,e. Anyway, I like this coun-
try where I was born, and I have
-no intention of leaving it. But, as

I say, if a chap thinks he can do
better somewhere else then -thank
goodness -we are still free and 'he
can make his own choice.
However, it is another matter al-
together when a 'Canadian goes to
Britain and attempts to interpret
British history for the folks he left
behind. That is what Mr. Beverly
Baxter has been trying to do for
us in the current issue of Mac-
lean's.
There I read an article called
"The Scots Can't Forget Mary".
The substance of his piece is that
Scotsmen are making a mistake by
drawing a distinction between their
own history and' that of England.
He seems to imply that because the
Scot remembers unfortunate Mary
Queen of Scots instead of red-hair-
ed Queen Elizabeth, they are not
just what they ought to be as far
as loyal citizens go.
A man must remember his roots.
He must rememiber the soil where
he was nurtured. It he has a soul
at all -as another Scot, Sir Wal-
ter, once wrote -he will be a fir
to that debt. Just because some
one from anotlfer clime doesn't
agree makes no difference at all.
What's more, if that outlander
wants to distort 'history to prove
his point, he is not going to con-
vince very many people.

.. l itxteYs tactiiks Are ,ieorip ete-
ly unfair. 1• Ie sUggeats that ',Mary
Queen of 'Scots was immoral, that
she married the wrong man (the
right man, as he sees it, was sug-
gested 'when Mary was exactly one
year old), that it was right for
Queen ,Elizabeth to trick her, make
false promises' and' then to behead
her. In fact his title in itself cre-
ates a wrong ,impression -our Mary
Stuart was not "pretty"; she was
recognized as one of the most
beautiful women of her time and all
yon have to do to this day is take
a look at one of her portraits to
see Mr. Baxter's word is not 'hon-
est. •
So it goes all along the line and
the point is this: Here we have a
national magazine 'with a large
readership carrying an interpreta-
tion
nterpretstion of history which can only be
backed up by a prejudice which is
better forgotten. Here we have an
old quarrel being resurrected for
the benefit of Canadians which can
do us no good whatsoever. By this
time I think we have shown the
whole world that we can do our
own thinking. I think that we have,
in part at least, justified' the glor-
ious prophecy of Sir Wilfrid Laur-
ier, that this century belongs to
Canada. I can see no valid reason
whatsoever for anybody -especially
one of our own boys who left us
while still very young -to try to
write history for us.
I can see no reason either for
him to try to bring over that old
division between the Scot and the
Sassenach to this land where we
have been living in peace and amity
ever since the first settlers came.
Those old struggles do not belong
to today. Why should we worry
about them?

CHATTER
(By WALLY)
Trouble is brewing in the newly
formed Major Fastball League to
our north. Three teams may be
lei). "holding the bag," or should
we say the mound.
Week -end happenings in Hamil-
ton may have "thrown a wrench"
in this league, as transfers were
refused to Lucknow for Charles
Justice; to Meaford for Russ John-
son, and to Hanover for •Charles
Calton and William Polosky. Rea-
son given was that proof of con-
tinuous residence had not been giv-
en to the O.A.S.A.
This means that Johnson and Jus-
tice, who in past years have been
the scourge of hitters in Toronto
softball circles, have been refused
permission to play in other cen-
tres.
A further warning was given to
these centres when a resolution was
passed stating that any player re-
quiring a transfer who plays with-
out such a transfer will be auto-
matically suspended by the O.A.S.
A. It is likely that such suspensions
would be placed for at least one
year's duration in which case the
suspensions would be automatically
recognized by the Ontario Sports
"Federation and would 'apply for all
sports.
Secretary of the 0.A.S.A., Frank
Feaver, was delegated to investi-
gate a complaint from the Amateur
Softball Association of . America.
The complaint from Commissioner

stated that players Charles Justice
and Shelley Miley, (who form this
year's strong Lucknow battery). had
established' residence at Nashua,
New Hampshire, but had left be-
fore the playing season opened.
Looks as if the towns which have
no team, just a battery, will get
quite a setback after this stormy
sub -committee session.
Also on the agenda of this meet-
ing was a complaint from South-
ampton, stating that . Wally .Hether-
ington had played for Port Elgin,
without first seduring a release.
This will also be investigated by
Feaver.
The problem of finger gloves was
discussed and a ruling wag handed
down, stating that a finger glove is
one with four fingers and a thumb.
This will prohibit the wearing of
so-called trapper mitts by players,
other than. catchers and first base-
men,
Zone C-1 Legion Softball League
drew up their schedule last week,
with the opening game being play-
ed Tuesday night at Goderich. The
league comprises Goderich and Sea -
forth Legions, and Clinton and Cen-
tralia R.C.A.F. Stations. Two other
teams dropped out when it was
found that the Air Schools were
being permitted to play. This was
probably, because their batteries
were slated to come from one of
these schools.
