PY JA C K S o N• C o L E Synopsis CUAPTF,R XXIV: Straw Ald man, seeking advice from Russ Bartle, is urged by the tobacco farmer to sell his property, His ilimpidea, is to buy the farm for $2,000, then sell for $6,000, CHAPTER XXV Thanks to Sheriff Lande, Gold Creek, in Deep Water Valley, had far outstripped cowtowns in any cif the bordering towns in being law- abiding. No sensible outlaw ever lingered there long. Here cash and goods were safe, women respected, an,' rat- n quickly appraised and treated according to assay, Yet Gold Creek could be fooled! In the Western Sun Saloon a mid- dle•aged man in cowmen's clothes leaned heavily against the bar. Tall and thin, Pete Haskell, who held a coveted place in the ranks of cow- men of the neighborhood, had a face browned by sun and storm. He was a pioneer cattleman, a man who had fought his way up from a small beginnin,, and now was the unani- mously selected guide and counsel- or of practically every ranch owner In the county, * * x, Haskell was burning with anger, "No Tim," he said sourly, without looking at the cowman beside him, "I don't know what to do, The devil of it is that all those tobacco farmers have as much right here as we have," "But this has always been free and open cattle range!" blasted Tim Callan, another rancher. "First tome -- "Ain't always first served -- or best served, either" finished Hato hell, Callan scowled, "There ought to be a law —" "There Is a law," said a man who had come in the door behind Has- kell and had been listening, unnot' Iced. "It says if you own some- thing, lock stock and barrel, you can 4976 sizes fbt YRS..

But unless you.do—" Lande walked over and stood be tweet' the two cowmen at the bar. There were certain things he felt he must say to them, "You gents are scared over noth- ing," he told the two ranchers now, "I wouldn't howl, 'Wolf!' till there was one in sight," Ilaskell scowled heavily, "You've been away from the range for three years, Lande," he reminded, "Mean- while, the wolf has moved in, Russ Bartle has announced that he is gcing to fence in more rand for tobacco farms in the North end of Deep Water Valley! Our end!" The sheriff looked surprised, Then he shrugged, * R, 4, "\Well, it's not against the law for him to sell land he owfms and he does own some in the north end," .

"Half a notion to cut fences, fire buildings, drive all those tobacco farmers out— or kill 'cit off," He shook his gray head, and his hand sought Callan's shoulder, "We're old friends of a long time standing, Tint, That's !why I hope you never get more than half a notion about such doings. Fact is, I wish you wouldn't ever mention them again, Because there's a big chance, if you do, that some of the things that already have been done in the valley might be laid at your door," "I've told you before Lande, that no cattleman had anything to do with any of the fires or killings in the valley!" Pete Haskell said hotly, "We aim to protect our interest legal, sabe? That's just what we've done -- and only that, So fav," "But — "I don't blame any man to: kick• ing over the traces when bread and butter is taken out of his mouth!"

"I'm not till I'm driven to it, Meanwhile I've got another pair of cards to play. Might as well be done now." As Haskell turned from the bar he read the questions in Lande's eyes, "Jim going to see Russ Bartle," he said, "Maybe I can get him to meet us cowmen halfway," And if he won't?" asked Lande. Haskell did not answer, He walk, ed out of the saloon and down the dark, deserted street like a man bent on a dreaded errand he knows is useless and still must snake an effort toward Its success, A light glowed In a window of the bank where Russ Bartle did his business when he was in town, Haskell knocked and a man's shadow appeared behind the glass' panelled door. Haskell heard the aping bolt elide back. He went In, ignoring the man who had opened for him, and headed straight up the bank stale for tartlet office, well knowing that he was not wel- come. Bartle went with him and sat down at hlh desk la one corner of the room, The sharp-eyed, fifty, year-old man who was turning gray at the temples looked himself now. No longer was he the benevolent friend; this time he was facing a bitter enemy — and he knew it, "Yes, Haskell?' he said at once. 'What's ott your mind?"

"Then all I can see is that they'll have to take it standing up," He drummed on the ledger with impati- ent fingers, "That valley is mine. The law holds that. There is nothing you can do to .nge that," "I know, You know," Haskell hunched forward in his chair and spoker earnestly, "But Igen can be driven to break laws, Bartle, I've al- ready kept several of them from doing so — till now, But I'm like a dam holding back too much water.

The five s ..,rt passages of next Sunday's lesson tell us much concerning the work and salvation of Jesus, Many facts relating to Jesus were set forth by prophets prior to His coming, About 700 11,C, Isaiah told the story of the suffer- ings of the corning Messiah, Isaiah saw human need, "All we, like sheep, have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own tvay," IIe saw also that the Messiah by his sufferings and death would bear the penalty for our sins, "The Lord bath laid on him the in- iquity of tis all" "By Iiis stripes we are healed," I-Iow this predics tion could be made can only be explained ' y the fact as set forth in 2 Pet, 1;21; "For the prophecy came let in old time by the will of man; btu holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost," '1'hc angel of the Lord revealed to Joseph, who was to be the foster -father of the Messiah, that the child should be called "Jesus:" "For He sh-ll save His people from. their sins," "Jesus" conies front the Greek word to "save," Even his name indicated his mis- sion, '1'o many of the religious formal, fists of his day, Jesus appeared as a revolutionary. But he was not the enemy of previously revealed truth, F,arty in his ministry he an - flounced, "Think not that I am c nc to destroy the law, or the prophets: I ant not come to des- troy, but to fulfill," We have al+ ready noted how Jesus fulfilled a prophecy of Isaiah, So it was * cares for him, though she denies * it, What shall I do? * * I like the feeling you show to- ward this girl friend of yours.

The lady remarked that this was perhaps not an Ideal time to visit Europe, The man 'gave her a shy stnlle, ''Our old matna, ,she write," he said, "She say iter roof leak, She say for us to conte quick and fix It, So we go."

Why is it that more. and more young people are turn- ing from the land, to try their luck in -the big, noisy city? When yuu ask thi question, you get' a lot of answers, Some Wren sait's the money angle, others say it's the work, and others will say there's is no prestige carried with today's fanning — at !cast as far as the young men of today are con. cerned, Many of the boys whom I went to school with were quite content with helping on their father's farms after achool and on holidays, But did they stay to help the old man when they got to the age where they could be of some real help to him? They did not, Farms Paid Off Sotne •of the ferment I know are struggling on alone today; their sous have left them and 'gdna`to tl city to work. They don't like the old man's farm, his stinking old barn yard nor the seemingly measly pay they get; they don't like get; ting up early and wearing smelly, dirty old clothes and they hate be- ing called, "Ya Farmer" and "Ya Hick", What these young men seem to forget' when they stampede for the tall buildings is, that the farm paid off enough to giw, them a comfort- able home, good food, healthy liv- ing, lots of.good fun and sent many of them through university, Like the city fellow says: "There is no money in farming". Weil, if there Is no money in farming, I would like someone, anyone at all, to tell me why it is that most farm homes today (at least around here) are as modern as city homes, have all the city conveniences?How can most of the farmers drive nice look; lng cars, get enough time off to take pleasure trips, be their own boss and, In general, enjoy life to the utmost? Brother, the farmer can complain all • he likes (and he likes it) but the most of them are doing alright. So you ask me, why are the yottng fellows heading for the city to make $35,00 a week, live, in two rooms and pay $40 a month for them, pay car expenses and nine hundred other things? Once again, Mr., you have me stumped, I think the young fellows of today are headstrong, They leap before they look Push -Button Farming -- Later There is no reason why any young man r n't do well on the farm. He always puts up the argu- ment that there is too much over- head to get started, Yet he knows there Is plenty of overhead in gets ting started In any real sound busi- ness — and that's what farming is. . A friend of mitre, many years my senior and a man with a great deal between his ears, tells me that the farmer is the only person who is almost self-sustaining, If the worst comes to worst, the farmer can a1 - ways keep going, That Is of course unless his city cousins start to live all around him; make it a residen- tial area; put in water works and send , his taxes so high he goes broke, But generally speaking a good farmer has as much, and a little more, security than most people, As thecity tman at his work di; recta the controls of his industry, so does the fanner, Machines make nearly all his jobs easier. Its fact In time, all he'll have to do to farm is to pull a lever and then walk over, lean on the top rail and watch the crops rotate, Worse Places Than Farm I personally feel that many of • the young men who go to the city will realize too late that It would have been tnuch better to have stayed hotne on the farm, However, as we said a few lines back, many of us young men today .are head- strong, We think we have all the answers and that the old man is getting tangled up in his beard, Well, maybe fathers don't move as flipt as they used too and maybe they like to try' a new Iden out be- fore putting it Into practice, but that doesn't mean they are finis',ted not by a longshot, 'So In closing, we would suggest to the young fellows on the farm today, - look into the sittiation a little closer before making any; rash decisions, There are a good many place* that you could be working that are a lot worse than down on the farm; Think It over, boys, s1OPSCGATCHItIG1 Relieve Ifeh in'd Jiffy) t D.

That is what have just been doing. To make them cut a paper pattern from a "store” pair — it Is really quite simple. Cut all in one piece with a mitred scam over the toes and a curved scant at the heel. Cut your footless from the garter top of old stockings or from under- wear, Machine the.. scams, then turn down a single narrp,w-hem,alt around the top, threa l tjtroltgh it a strand of round elastic-- and there you are, a pair of foofjets for about five cents -- or the price of the elastic. And by the way, the elastic can be used again after the original footlets are worn out, These footlets are particularly good for children - saves wear and tear on the stockings and keeps little feet warm, They can be worn either under or over regular stockings, Well, there's my good deed for tht day, and .I hope it will be of use to those of yo•t who are anxious to save the odd quarter, * * * Hasn't this been a bleak, cold week?

You see I learnt my lesson a good many years ago when I got badly wind- ed. It was on a day when the lane was almost knee-deep in snow, a wind was blowing and it was cold- er than I realized, As usual I set out for the mail and because I wanted to get back tu" the warmth of the house I did a very foolish thing. I hurried) Gdfngdotvn to the road the wind was' da -,:my back so 1 could hurry fairly "easily, even though I did have to plunge through the snow. But coming back I was winded before I had scarcely turn- ed around, To this day I hardly know how I got back home. I know my great fear was collapsing and that no one would know nbol,t it, When I did get to the house I dropped on the first chair , I came to, literally fighting to get Why breath, which was coining in short, sharp gasps. It was such a dread- ful feeling I shall never forget it , hence the umbrella. * * * Out West one soon learns what one can and cannot do in a storm. So often if Pacuter and I were driving home across the open prairie he would be watching the s'hd if I showed the least sign of being sleepy he would make me get out and run behind the sleigh until the blood was circulating and I was properly awake again and quite possibly mad as well! The drowsy feeling one gets is like going tinder an anaesthetic and really rather pleasant — just a nice comfortable drifting away into space. * * * Often I thick of those days out West and wonder - if cars are run- ning and roads' kept open on the old prairie trail from Chaplin, in Saskatchewan, to our half -section farm at a point nine utiles north of the village, In those days I don't think there was even a car running at all In the winter, Sleighs and cutters were the order of he day -- and In them we would get around and have a very good time, Driving home from a party on a cold,\crisp night, with the Northern bights crackling and changing colour and shape every few seconds was awe- inspiring —= and something to re- member. But the woman who was driven twenty-five miles to , .the nearest hospital for a Caesatea't' operation she, too, had sone - thing to remember, Mother and baby both survived the ordeal, Those Winter Bells Do You Remember? if trucks and cars could wear bells it would not be so bad, A generation ago the sound of bells was an integral part of the cold months, There were, of course the yearround bells. Many farms had a bell an a cedar posl in the yard or hanging from a framework in the ell or woodshed. At noon the trines carried far over the fields, to summon men folk to dinner, The village bell tolled the hours through the year, In Sum- mer cowbells tinkled from the pas• tures, xetatcs the New York Times. The Winter bells were different. The work teams had clear -toned, wrought steel bells, fastened to their collars, The sound was sweet and musical, compared with the clanking, nasal monotone of the fiat -sided cowbells. When teams went by with a load,of logs to the sawmill, or to the village for a load of meal and middlings, one could distinguish his neighbors by the tones of the bells, Countrymen took pride in the bells of their sleighs and pangs. Most of the strings of music mak- ers were fastened to the shafts. There were IIarmonized Swiss Shaft Chinhes, Mikado Chimes, Nickel Plated Guaranteed Wrought Steel Cup Chimes and Graduated Band Chines, For $2,09 one could . ge• the Swiss Pole Chime, 'High- est grade manufactured, of pure Swiss bell metal, beautifully poi- ished and nickel plated, Nine har- monized bells of graduated sizes and will please those who desire the best.' Some preferred the long body straps to fasten around the Mor- gans, These had thirty or more bells, When a snappy reader whisked the pung to town on Sat- urday evening for the fancily to do the trading, the music of the bells was sweet in the frosty air, And for the than who was really part- icular and wished to make his own string, t' : catalogue offered loose bells in diameters from one inch to three and three-quarters, Rarely does one hear the bells toi ay, But sonietinces when the countryman stands on an open ridge and looks at the beauty of distant white hills, he thinks he hears the bells still sounding along th valley road, Massive sea walls protect Gal- veston, Texas, : from a recurrence of the 1000 hurricane's tidal wave, mom •11•0•14•111.1.4ildishomIrawrom.01=111 Bran Brown Bread and Baked Beans It just scents that baked beans and Bran Drown Bread, are a team of foods that go together, Especially, cit is a good filling combination for a winter supper, when the children plan to have their friends stay to eat with the family, This is a good basic menu, plus a big.salad and a hot vegetable, and a fruit dessert,—If there is any room left!

The old ground hog was uneasy. Every few seconds she w ould stand upright, her bright eyes searching continually for the ever expected danger from some quarter. Each time the close scrutiny satisfied her and she would drop down and !T- win e•sii a greedily eating the tender leaves of the young red clover. She was thin and shaggy. The three young ground- hogs, eating the clove► even more greedily than she, were the reason. This was the first time she had brought them up from the soft nest deep in the earth. The young ones revelled in the warm sunshine and the strange taste of what they were eating, They ranged farther away from their mother and the safety of the burrow unaware that danger lurked nearby. A couple of noisy crows winged their way overhead but the old groundhog didn't pay them the slight- est attention. She knew they weren't hawks who would bring death wing• in, swiftly out of the sky for her young. Shu, was getting full, yet she ate on, her stomach starting to swell. A familiar sound jerked her upright and little quivers of deathly fear-, lanced through her small brain. The dog, her implacable enemy, was bounding down the field. He saw the red -chested groundhog and raced to- ward her with a shrill whistle she scurried towards her burrow, her brood close at her runup. As her young nuzzled, the shrill yapping of the dog penetrated clearly to her. "Listen to that fool pup yappin' his head off down by the creek. Hasn't got a brain in his head. Never be as good as his mother," The slatternly -looking woman leaned in the cabin door, ready to find fault with anything. "Yeah," her husband answered slowly, "She was all right, too bad she had to get killed on the railroad, Maybe I should get the .22 and go down and see what she's up to. If. there's any groundhogs down there they'll be eatin' the heart out of the young clover." "I'll go down, Dad," their young son cried. He grabbed a stick, "Bet he's got a big ,one cornered down there." Young Tad ran along by the stump fence until he reached the clover field. Climbing up on a stuinp he could see the pup down at the other end near the creek jumping around a small stonepile and barking furiously, "Bet he has one," he said aloud and started to run, "What you got, Tippy?" Dropping .n his stomach, he could see a groundhog crouched In between the safety of two large stones, • Tad poked his stick in as far as he could ' but the groundhog only retreated further. "Sic him! Get him out, Tip," he urged the excited pup. "Guess we'll have to move some of these stones for you. Watch out now, or you'll get hurt." Tad began throwing stones aside. "Watch him, Tip." The pup saw the young groundhog and pounced on it savage- ly. For a, few seconds he had a loose grip on It but the groundhog snapped back wiekedly and with a surprised ylpe the pup jumped away, The groundhog raced as fast as its short kgs would go towards the safety of Its burrow. "Get it! Get Id" Tad screamed tweedy with excitement. "Get him, boy l" • Taro pup was after It like a flash, Ids courage renewed, The escape of she groundhog was cut off only a few yards from safety. Urged on by Tad, the' pup .worried it but circled far enough out to be safe from those t ,"slesapping teeth. Suddenly the pup darted In and grabbed the groundhog by, the back of the neck and shook him vigorous b The young groundhog gave a frightened little .whistle. Then Something all snapping teeth, forge and frightening, cane fearing at the Pup out of nowhere. Long sharp fdfigs ,tank' cruelly into his rutnp.

White "blackboards" and dark blue chalk, The Importance of Proper Lighting In School Class Rooms Do you know that after seven years of research, it has been found that not only defective eyesight but also malnutrition and some chronic in- fections have been caused by im- proper lighting in school class rooms? F. W. Warren, a Hamilton architect who specializes in the building of schools, claims that eye strain is often caused by working in improp- erly lighted rooms, and the food of which the child partakes, instead of serving its proper function in build- ing the body, is used to combat eye strain, and consequently the child suffers from malnutrition. Claes Rooms "Floodlighted" The Comley School in Barton Township, close to Hamilton, was de- signed by Mr. Warren, and in this school the class rooms are "flood- lighted" to eliminate shadows, for a strong contrast between the light coining through a window and the shadow caused by the wall between the windows, will cause as much eye strain as insufficient light. In this school the windows have clear glass in the lower section, but in the upper section the windows are constructed with directional glass blocks, which have lens on the inside. These lens direct the light to the ceiling where it Ik'reflected to the opposite side of the class room. The result is, thatinstead of getting 5 foot candles of light on the desks farthest from the windows, the desks in this school receive 25 foot candles of light. In most schools, blinds are used to cut off the sunlight from shining onto the desks, and these keep out the daylight which is so much required in the class rooms. This problem is overcome In the Conley School for the sunlight is diffused when shining through the glass blocks and no blinds are rc• quired. Cream Colored "Blackboards" Instead of using blackboards, which absorb a great deal of light, cream colored armoured glash chalk boards are used and the writing is done with dark blue chalk. These chalkboards are set with a slight slope so any reflection from the board is deflected over the pupils' heads, Instead of using 3000 watts of in- direct incandescent lighting as recom- mended by the Hydro, and getting 10 foot candles of light on the desks, 1200 watts of fluorescent light in fix• tures designed by the architect, give 50 foot candles of light on the desks. Desks in Curved Rowe. In the Comley .School, the desks are not set In straight tows, but are set in curved rows, with each desk set at an angle of SO degrees from the front corner of the class room window, so light from the windows will not shine in the pupils' eyes. A very cheerful effect has been created in the class roosts by painting the walls and woodwork with a light canary yellow color, with robincgg blue trim. In a school with proper lighting, there' should he a reduction in eye defects, malnutrition and chronic in- fections, and the educational growth of the pupils should be 50 per cent faster. The cost of the Cranley School which was $16,000 per class room, contrasts very favourably with many new schools which have cost $20,000 and more per class room, Instead of using expensive acoustic tile for sound absorption, correct acoustics are obtained in the class rooms by using concrete blocks made with cinders, which have been painted to give light reflection, To keep the operating -costs to a minimum, all windows are double glazed with pull sash and the roof is well insulated. This school has attracted many visitors interested in progressive school architecture. LITTLE REGGIE THANK VOL! FOR SITTING WIN TIME BABY, REGGIE� WHERE IS DEAR LITTLE WALDO Ola WE WERE PLAYING COPS 'N ROBS AND NOW $4 $ IN JAIL' Something New About Guff Stream Science seems to spend most of its time these days proving that things arc not what they are sup- posed to be. Even such a respect- able and long•established institu- tion as the Gulf Stream has now been to some extent debunked, A recent oceanographic expedition has discovered that the stream, which was always believed to be. about 100 miles wide,', is actually only 15 miles across, Its course is also more tortuous than had been hith- erto supposed. Great Natural Force Even thus shrunken, however, the Gulf Stream is still one of the most important natural forces in the world; it has probably done more to stake possible the civiliza- tion in which we live than any other one thing. Essentially it is an overflow of warn' water from the seas around the equator, which first piles up in the Gulf of Mexico, and is then pushed northwards by the prevailing winds and the ro- tation of the globe. It follows the coast of the United States from Florida to Maine and then swings to the northeast just south of Nova Scotia. It crosses the Atlantic and fans out along the coast of Europe; from Northern Spain to Norway; Indeed its influence is felt as far as Spitzbergen. And whenever It carnes close to land it determines the climate along the neighboring coasts and far inland as well. Influence on Europe It is in part due to theGulf Stream that the eastern coast of the United States possesses the mild climate and ample rainfall which made possible its spectacular develop- ment over the last 300 years. But its influence on Europe has been far more striking, • The richest and most populous countries of that continent lie in surprisingly high latitudes. Without the waruv ing influence of the Gulf Stream, conditions in these countries would be very much the sante as in the corresponding sections of North America. The climate of France would resemble that of Newfound- land; that of the British Isies would correspond to Labrador's; while Norway and Sweden, which ire in the same latitudes as Baffin Land, would have equally Arctic conditions. In the inland countries of Northern and Central Europe, conditions might be even worse, as they ,are in the interior of Un- gava. - Numerous Achievements Under such circumstances sip culture much higher than that of the Eskimos could have developed in Northern Europe. . That Western European type of civilization, which dominates most of the world to- day, could never have arisen. In- deed, as far as the west is con- cerned, civilization would still be confined pretty Hutch to the warns Mediterranean lands where it be- gan. Altogether the achicventetatj of the Gulf Stream are rather consid- erable—even if it is only 15 miles wide. - --- Fowl Employment Charles had just returned' front a visit to the country, where he had assisted in the performance of the farm chores. One responsibility of the youngster was to gather the eggs and mark each with the elate it had been laid, "Well, Charles," father inquired, "how did you like the farm?"

Y, Keas' bey, in the Christian Science Mon. iter, 'fake, for instance, the dipper or water ouzels—birds of the cold, clear mountain streams of boreal and arctic•alpine zones, They are slightly smaller than the Ameri can robin, with plump bodies, stout legs, and short, rounded, very concave wings, After carefully preening i t feathers with "waterproofing" frorr its large oil gland, the dipper rum along the stream bottom in scare} of insect larvae, small ntollusen and crustacea, staying under watet solely by the movements of itt wings, An interesting experitnen by Sir John Davy showed tha th, specific gravity of the dinpe• is only 0.724 or about three -fourth: that of water, It is commonly sail to fly through the water and tin naturalist Cones has stated (hat itt 'flight below the surface require' as continuous effort to keep dowt as ordinary nerial flight demand' in order that a bird may stay ii In the air." * * * Among the other birds whicl use their wings to "fly" under wa ter may be mentioned the auklels musses, cormorants and penguins One penguin stunt is to ntakt a dash beneath the water, titer break tip suddenly through the - surface and leap into the air, bods arched, and progress with a series of splashing leaps in perfect nti. micry of the dolphin or porpoise. But though the penguin can fly so swiftly under water as to be difficult to follow with the eye, its featherless wings Are useless for aerial flight, N Faith The old negro parson had called his flock together (luring a drought period to pray f• r rain, Entering the pulpit, he gazed sadly upon his bare•headd congregation, "De faith of some of you nig• gabs is ac• arable," he began.

By FRANK MANN HARRIS "No more broadcasting or tele• visIng of fights" is the latest edict 'of The British Boxing Board of • Control — a move bound to come In for plenty of criticism from vari• cos sources, especially' those close to the business of Radio and Tele- vision, Speaking personally, — and is otte more conccrlted with sport as a pastime than as chiefly moneymaking racket — we think It a move in the proper direction. * • • When sports broadcasting was in its infancy, we remember much dis cussion as to what its general effect would be, '!'hose who argued that it would help to popularize sport, and increase interest, proudly point to the sell-out crowds at big league hockey and baseball, championship fights and so on, saying that broad- casting did a great deal in making them possible, • * * Maybe they are fight, at that. Perhaps broadcasting did — and does -- help fill places such as Madison Square Garden, Montreal Forums Maple Leaf Gardens; and the couple of millions of dollars Louis and Walcott are liable to draw a few months hence might not have been possible without all • 'the aerial ballyhoo to make folks more fight -conscious, and to wrap a mantle of respectability around the boxing game. e • But what of the other side of the picture? Ask the small-town hockey manager how many potential dol• lars,of revenue will fail to show up In the till should his scheduled .game happen to run into the com- bination of stormy weather and a night when Foster Hewitt is on the air — or even only the latter, With the option of sitting at home and listening to a couple of nationally- known ationallyknown topnotchers tangle, or of going out and helping to support boxing in your own community, which are you going to choose? For that clatter, which is the healthier condition — a few Million youngsters .out playing baseball on their own of an October afternoon, or crowded around radio sets list- ening to the doings of New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers? * * U'ith television looming larger and larger, the tendency will be even greater for the general public to con• emirate on star attractions, to the detriment of lesser sports events, More and More this will tend toward our beco►ning 0 continent of sports., lookers, rather than sporls•players, For a while this will be 0,K. with those who control and profit front those bigger attractions — another case of "the rich jet richer and the poor get—children." But there may be a day coating when cvcn those who look on thein as fine sources of re. venue fright wish they hadn't coin• »titled themselves so deeply to the Television and Radio people, Tsal's why 7c!e say we think the move of the B.R,II,C, Mightn't be such a bad thing after all. * * * It may not be a case of "The King is dead — long live the Ring" — but if the Ring we are speaking of — last name Clancy — Isn't quite a subject for the mortician as yet, even his closest friends and great- est admirers, and he has plenty at both, must admit that the old flam- ing fire is in Clanger of dying down to mere embers, For countless spec- tators at a recent Toronto hockey game received a terrific shock when a Boston player rudely pushed Re- face Clancy roughly out of the way and received, in receipt, nothing more than a pained look of renton' strattce, • * • For there leas a clay — and not so long ago -- when "The Ring" didn't Wait for any overt act before springing into instant and violent acion. We aren't quite sure, but we think it was Chuck Conacher who first described Clancy as "the guy that started a million fights — and has yet to win his first one" Any- way, nyway, we (10 cherish in metnory dozens of picures of Clancy in the very thickest part of a brawl and Conacher reaching out one of those huge paws to rescue his belligerent friend and teah•Jtnate, • * *" But now Clancy lets lthnsclf get pushed around without flinging a ' misconduct penalty, let alone a right swing) l'es- •the old fires must be dying down; or else when Presi- dent'' Clarence .Campbell issues thoseletters of his, tetttttg. players and officials how they must all positively act like littlegentlemen Ott every occasion, only the latter bother to read them. Maybe' the present-day ptayet, when he receives 1 letter that fails -to request either a picture or an autograph, just tosses it in the waste -basket as not worthy of attention. Briefly Told A ittie girl was told by her teacher to write a,contposttiott on Ants." She began' "Ants are of two'.kinds insects and lady Uheles." . Off On a "Cross Country" Jaunt—Just 50 years ago a Canadian editor, speaking of the "new" sport of skiing, said that "it couldn't compare w ith either snow -shoeing or tobogganing". He little foresaw the day when it would become the favorite winter sport of hundreds of thou - $ands, and a means of attracting "millions of tourist dollars to Canada. In SKI SKILLS, the National Film Board has produced a fascinating moving picture of skiing in all its many Alla SCS. "Ski Skills" "Spills, Chills & Thrills" was the marquee slogan one theatre used last winter in describing "Ski Skills," a National Film Board film devoted to skiing in Canada, when the filtn played in over one hundred theatres across the Dominion, This year—again in the approp- riate season—"Slci Skills" is being shown on the rural circuit film progranlnlcs in the counties of Ontario. Although it is a short film, it is unique in many ways. For instance, from looking at it, you would almost swear that the camera itself had mounted a pair of skis in order to obtain the "shots" of the skiers as they round- ed the br'eath'taking curves and made the heart -stopping leaps in the snows that cover Canada's ski - hills from the Laurentians in the east to the Rockies in the west. In making a film in lighter vein, the Film Board found, from its theatrical reception alone, that "Ski Skills" was definitely worth producing, But, of course, aud- ience reaction was not the chief reason the film was made, It was made because of the increasing int' portance of skiing, Indeed, even the most superficial research show- ed that, beyond a doubt, skiing is o the way to becoming the top- ranking participation sport in Can, ads. Hal: a Million Skier& Figures from the Canadian Ama- teur Ski Association—a body which has 132 member clubs across tltc country—reveal 200,000 skiers in Quebec, 100,000 in Ontario, 50,000 in British Columbia, 25,000 in tltc Prairies and 15,000 in the Marit- imes. These figures, though, are only half the story, Every winter, thousands of American .tourists swarm to Canada's ski country, and are there met by the 'e'en greater thousands of Canadian skiers who do not belong to clubs. All told, it is estimated that skiing is now practised by well over half a Mil' lion citizens of this country, "Ski Skills" opens with a typical winter scene: the loading up of the ski bus, The camera shows the keen laughing faces as the skiers board tin. buses and ride tc''aids the wintery slopes, It then shows the ski lodge, with its inviting interior, Its blazing fire- place, and the merry talk of the New Tires Greatly Reduce Skidding Tires designed to cut down skid- ding by weans of wire coils in 'the treads are rolling ottt of plants of several leading rubber companies, And for the driver using re- treads, tire engineers said, thou' sands of tiny granules of abrasives are buried in the rubber to resist the ice when the brakes are clamp- ed on, .Catttioning that the completely skldless tire has not been built, en• gitteers said that none the less research already has produced tires that will' greatly reduce skidding. —one of the main causes of win- tertime mishap, PILESitain' Medical set eure hos overcome all - finis formerly thought Impnaelble.

Names like Valcarticr, Ste, Anne, Mont Treinblant, Lac Beauport and Ste, Jovite — the famous std resorts of the Laurentians, where alone there are 38 clubs — are brought to the screen for the benefit of all, and especially for those who have not yet visited these places, 'Ski Skills," however, is not ne- cessarily a film for the profession- al. In fact a good part of it port' rays the average down-to-earth skier and his comerade , who flock in the thousands to the local hill- sides as long as there is enough snow to bear a blade. And finally — "Ski Skills" re- cords the grand finale of every &•ling trip—whether this be at the exclusive club or in the modest home—the fireplace session in the evening, where • merry chatter, songs, and yes, even the sonorous arguments of the arm chair skiers, who debate the great problems of technique and style, whit; away the hours of dar'.ness and relaxation e:rte Wins A husband and wife could not speak to each other except in the deaf and dumh language.

Canada and the United States could, if they desired, forget about the rest of the world. They could stop the flow of goods and food to Europe, sit back and revel in their own plenty, But such a callous course would soon bring its own reward, There can be no permanent peace, prosper- ity ami happiness for North Amer!. ca until Europe is rebuilt. And Europe is very far from being rebuilt today. That continent is short of food, machinery, coal, steel, houses, transport, fertilizer and of almost everything else except trou- ble.' It's going to be a long hard pull to put Europe on its feet and we might just as well face the fact that until that job is done we are going to be short of food and goods on this continent and prices are going to continue high. Our job in Canada and the Uni- ted States is to produce more In- dustrial goods and pray for good crops. With luck and hard work we can do much this year and next, without then the outlook is bleak.
