Synopsis
Chapter XXVII: A warning is
Issued to the cattlemen to stop the
plundering in the Valley, Michael
aldez, riding towards Gold Creek,
tees a figure in the distance against
the skyline, dressed like himself,
red hair and all,
Chapter XXVIII
His grin faded, though, and his
Ups tightened grimly,
"Now," he thought, "the terrible
stories will start of what El Cabal-
lero Rojo has done in Deep Water
Valley."
Valdez nudged the blue roan for
the knoll where he had last seen the
rid.r, determined, after all, to trail
the impostor, But in that instant,
far to the north, atop a sharp,
crowned hill, he saw another rider—
unmistakably Juanita. The girl's
wig -wagged speech was plain. Brief-
ly it said that she had seen some-
thing that needed tracking down—
seen the very person that Valdez
himself had just seen,
# #•
"Twin?" signaled Valdez, to sat-
isfy himself,
"Sil" came the reply, and Juan•
ita promptly dropped out of sight.
Then Michael Valdez heard the
thunder of hoofs on his right, The
swift thought caught at his mind—
* posse was galloping in pursuit
of the false Caballero.
A score of horsemen poured into
the arroyo like charging cavalry. Pete
Haskell was in the lead on a mount
as white as a fresh snowdrift. Has-
kell's eyes narrowed when he saw
Valdez in the trail—a stranger to
him—so still and placidly smoking,
The rancher pulled up, The white
reared and Haskell closed in on
Valdez.
Over Haskell's shoulder went a
command to some of the others to
keep on in the direction the fleeing
th::r had gone. Then he walked his
white horse in a complete circle
around Valdez, scrutinizing every
inch of man and hors;,
"A gent in some circus clothes
ride by this way, stranger?" he
finally snapped. "You happen to
notice?"
Valdez' face was friendly. He
looked toward the south — away
from the direction the rider had
actually taken—and nodded.
"Yeah," he said quietly. "I saw
something kind of shiny streakin'
south. Far off. Glad to know it was
a rider. Kind of had me puzzled for
a minute. I was thinking it was
some animal that had got away
from somebody maybe."
• * •
Haskell spun around to the rem-
nants of his followers.
"Some of you men head south,"
he ordered. "That blasted El Cab-
allero Rojo is not far offl"
The black -haired vaquero whist!.
ed. "El Caballero Rojo, did you
say?" he asked in astonishment, his
eyes wide,
"Yep," snapped the cattleman.
"And as slick and fast as he's al-
ways been said to be."
"Plaguing you gents, is he?"
"Not yet. But he's all set to—
unless he gets told a few things
about what's what. Thing is, there
had been some dirty work down in
Deep Water Valley nearby, This
redhead jumps at the conclusion
that we cattlemen are responsible
for it, We're holding a meeting to
try to sort of figure out how we
tan get our own troubles cleared up,
and he busts In on it and shouts
that we'll pay for what's been done.
We've got plenty of trouble without
him messing in, so we aim to get
that El Caballero Rojo before he
dogs damage to the wrong parties."
Valdez' smile was wan. "From
what 1 hear about that outlaw," he
ventured to put in, "he don't put
his boot down until he's sure there
is a snake underfoot."
ISSUE 8-1948
"He's shore made a mistake this
time then," snapped the cattleman,
"And—" His lips tightened again.
"Well, we got to push on, stranger,
Ride with us?"
Valdez shook his head. "Sorry,"
he said, "But I've got something
right important to attend to in Gold
Creek, and I'm late now in getting
there. Maybe I'll be back this way,
and if I do, I'll be riding with you
gents, Adios."
Haskell watched Valdez with-
draw.
"Well"—the old cattleman looked
over at Luke Wallace—"let's ride."
As Michael rode away from them
slowly, his mind was busy, That
other Caballero Rojo—he must be
pretty reckless and impulsive, Or
else that old cattleman was a liar.
Still no man could buck a crowd
of ranchmen like that and be brand-
ed coward.
"My twin certainly seems to be-
lieve that the cattlemen are respon-
sible for what happened last night,"
Valdez mused. "As for myself—I'll
remain neutral. At least until I
hear from Juanita. Then my chips
will go in with the truth, Whatever
it is."
• * •
He pushed on, grim of face and
determined to get to the bottom of
things, for he knew that he had to
bring justice to the man or men,
whoever they were, who had been
responsible for that hideous cruci-
fixion, He soleinnly swore to un-
mask that man, no matter at what
risks or dangers, For the urge for
justice burned in Michael Valdez
like a hot iron,
What was more, his instinct told
him that when he found the man
back of the trouble here, he would
also be facing the man he himself
had looked for so long—the man
who had been "big boss" to Garvin
and Conroy, the man who at heart
had been responsible for El Cab-
allero Rojo's own tragedy.

Your Handwriting
and You By
Alex S. Arnott
The character and personal qualis
ties of the world's people may be
compared with the likeness of the
earth's surface with its high moun-
tain tops, low depressions, and level
plateaux. Just as there are high
mountains, so there are great men
and women whose intelligence and
strength of character rise above
that of their fellow men, with the
great mass of the earth's people
being average like the level of a
plateau. Just as we have great
heights of human intelligence, so
wt have the opposite forms of low-
er mentality with it, strife, insin-
cerity, deceit and cunning. In my
many correspondents, there is am-
ple opportunity to see the mental
heights to which the average per-
son can rise. Even an average per-
son can rise above the petty things
of life and become great mentally
and intellectually for each of us
has talent in one way or another
and, if we are consistent and ambi=
tious in the use of our talents, we
can make remarkable changes for
the good of all ae well as for per-
sonal happiness, With so many at-
tractions of pleasure and relaxa-
tion, the average people are likely
to let others supply the talent while
they are content to remain on the
average level of endeavor. The
world's people, as we find them
through handwriting analysis, need
more ambition, sincerity, hopeful-
ness and charity, with less spite,
revenge, insincerity and greed.

• A MOTHER'S JOB
Every mother wants to be proud
of her son from the day he is born,
If she is raise, she makes hire stand
0►1 his own feet in every sense of
the word, Ile is taught the differ-
ence between right and wrong, Ile is
made to understand the rudiments of
good sportsmanship. He learns good
manners and social graces, Ile is
guided tactfully in his choice of
friends. .4nd so lee is apt to grow
up with the right instincts and im-
pulses,
Often it is in his adolescent years
that his mother cannot resist the
temptation to keep her finger on his
emotional pulse, She will not wel-
come one girl friend he likes because
the girl's family conies from the
wrong side of the railroad tracks,
She objects to a school pal because
she doesn't like his mother. She dic-
tates her son's comings -and -goings as
though he were still 10 years old.
She gives him no freedotn of thought
or action, she refuses to let him snake
Ids own mistakes and learn from
them. And all this she does "because
she loves hire sol"
Most of her persistence is based
on her fear of losing him. She can-
not bear to think he does not need her
every moment of his waking hours.
She approves, glowingly, of every-
thing he does, and defends him
fiercely against justified criticism.
He is her favorite of all the child-
ren; his sisters are practically slaves
to his whims—and as for his father,
that man has long ago given up
"interfering."
What if some nice girl is foolish
enough to marry this paragon;' His
smother is right there, criticising,
snaking the girl over, belittling her
at ler son's expense. And moving in
with theta if she dares.
These arc the mistakes many
mothers make with their soros. In
trying to live their lives for them,
they deprive them of the very good
things they desire for the boys. And
finally break their maternal hearts
when the young seen tarts against
them.

Train your son in the way he
should go — and then try to keep
hands off. If you are having trouble,
ask Anne Hirst about it. Address

Sooner Than Later
What is a budget?
Well, it is a method of worrying
before you spend, instead of after-
ward,
with every loop and line easily visi-
ble tells me of the writer's desire
to be frank with all her associate,
and ambitious in all that she does.
Such fine lines in the writing are
indicative of spiritual wealth with
contentment and peace of mind
that conies from a nature which
enjoys and appreciatee the simple
things that bring personal happi-
ness. The wide spaces between the
connecting strokes of each letter
are excellent examples of a getter!
ous and unselfish nature. The
height of all loop letters above the
writing line are very high and, like
the writer's mind, endeavor to teach
above the lower levels to achieve
great attainments. The script Is
neat and orderly, of good form and
consistency, to indicate the habits
of the writer.
• • •
This writing has 111 the traits
of character that rises to the moun-
tainous heights, above the average
levels of human endeavor.

Sunday School Lesson
By Rev. R. Barclay Warren
The Fellowship of Christian
Believers
Acts 2:37-47; Ephesians 4:1.6
Golden Text — 'There is one body
and one Si.iri. even as ye are called
in one hope of your calling; one
Lord, one faith, one baptism, one
God and Father of all, who is above
all, and through all, and in you all.
Ephesians
The day of Pentecost is one of
the memorable days in world I-fis-
tory. After the outpouring of the
Holy Spirit, Peter who had denied
his Lord on the night of the betray•
al, became the foremost preacher of
the occasion. The city which had
witnessed the crucifiction of Jesus
a few weeks before heard the charge
from Peter, "Hint --ye have taken,
and by t ick 'd hands have crucified,
both Lord and Christ". Those who
beard were pricked to the heart
and exclaimed, "\len and brethren
what shall we do?" The answer
cams, "Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift
of the Holy Ghost, For the prom-
ise is unto you and to your children,
and to all that are afar off, even as
many as the Lord our God shall
call." About three thousand heeded
the call that day,
* * *
There was an intense fellowship
among these believers, "All that
believed were together, and had all
things common." This was not
communism, 'here was no con.
fiscation of wealth, But there was
a marvelous generosity, Some sold
possessions and party to all men, as
every man had need, This action
made for a close spirit of unity which
persisted when persecution carte and
they were scattered abroad.
Despite the many denominations
today, the church, the true body
of Christian believers is one, This
is beautifully set ' rth in the golden
text. We make too much out of our
differences and fail to emphasize
our oneness. When the church was
making its greatest impression upon
the world, the individual believers
were characterized by the unity of
the Spirit, If the Holy Spirit could
have the same place in the church
today, spiritual oneness, and great
victories in the saving of souls
would again be the order of the
day, Our need is not more mat
chincry and organization but the
Holy Spirit, The need is impera-
tive if the church is to fulfill her
mission in the world.

TEEN -TOWN TOPICS
By BARRY
This week we are touching a match
to a fuse that may cause a protest
from certain quarters. Our theme
for this week is,
"Do 11'e Need
Religion?" 1Vc
do not intend to
delve into per-
sonal church
problems, faiths
or otherwise. As
a matter of fact,
we don't care
what church you
t,• t4•. What %%i do care about is, do
you go to church at all?
The subject of religion and faiths
can often arouse tl.e deepest angers,
171fe think this may be due to the
fact that a lot of people have a far
deeper feeling for the church than
Is outwardly seen.
It trust snake a lot of people smile
at times, the way many people who
never darken a church door run for
the minister if some member of the
family passes on, if they are planning
a wedding or going to baptize a baby.
We have that kind in our town. 1
know of one case where a daughter
was married here last summer, and
they haven't been near the church
since; but brother, you should have
seen the show they put on getting
that girl married, Now a number of
people in this town when they read
this are going to ask themselves, "is

it us, he is talking about ? All we
can say, is that if the cap fits,
wear it.
\Ve shudder at the thoughts of
what this country would be like if
all our Sunday Schools were sudden-
ly closed. No doubt in a short time
the police forces would have to be
doubled and then trebled. t1'I.y? 11e -
cause that is the only place where a
large number of our children are
taught anything about what is right
and what is wrong, and it would
open your eyes very wide if you actu-
ally knew how many children really
don't know the difference l etween
right and wrong. Parents who don't
care enough about the future welfare
of their children to send them to
church to be taught the better way
of life, or who won't bother to teach
them themselves are a menace to
society. And we have that kind
here too. A lot of people around here
aren't going to like use very much
for. this, and I don't care one little
bit

On the thetne of "Do We Need
Religion", we feel there Is no other
answer but yes. 1f not, why do we
have a World Day of Prayer, why
did thousands go almost Insert- when
a little runt of a man was assassin-
ated? Because religion burns deep all
over the world. It takes many twists,
turns and differences but it's there

job over to the decorators but un•
fortunately that is more than we can
afford. With drapes and slipcovers
to think about we have to draw the
line somewhere. Maybe it won't be
a first class job but at least the room
will be fresh, clean and bright—and
after a lapse of ten years without any
attention at all we can hardly be
accused of extravagance.
Painting being a nice quiet job we
were able, by means of the radio, to
keep abreast of the news without
wasting time. We were overjoyed
at Barbara Ann's success in the
Olympics, especially since so many
obstacles had threatened to spoil
things for her. I suppose I should
say Barbara Ann Scott, or Miss Scott
—but that isn't the way I think of
her. To me she is Barbara Ann—a
lovable, natural nineteen year old
girl who could be any mother's
daughter—and of whom any another
might be pround, quite apart from
her skill as a skater. Her vivacious
charm and complete naturalness, un-
spoiled by success has surely won
all hearts right across the Dominion.
* * *
Also via the radio, came news of
tumbling prices across the Border,
with no one apparently being quite
sure whether it was good news or
bad. But the average housewife will
not have much doubt about It being
good news. Not that we are likely
to notice any price reductions right
away, but at any rate the tendency
will be there, Perhaps we shall fin-
ally reach that long looked for goal
—a buyer's market. Last Thursday
I was down town buying an alarm
clock in a store that is part jeweller's,
part beauty parlour. But all was
quiet in the beauty parlour—no hum-
ming of hair driers, no chattering of
women's voices. I said to the pro-
prietress—"How come?" She shrug.
ged her shoulders—"Business Is aw-
fully slow—they say it's the same
everywhere!"
I was impressed. It was the first
time I had noticed any visible evl•
deice that anyone was running short
of funds.
With snots inches deep whichever
way you look and no sign of a thaw
do you think it will make Spring
seem a little nearer if we talk about
housecleaning? I hope so because
housecleaning — or maybe l should
say re-decorating—is so definitely on
my mind that I rind it hard to con•
eentratc on anything else. After all,
when one has waited ten yetis to
get a certain job done it can't be for.

Importance. The job that I refer to
Is our living-room—(we stripped the
paper off last week—remember?)—
and more especially ant I thinking of
the floor,
* 4 *
Oh, that floor! It had been painted,
varnished and enamelled tine and
again—in our day and before it. It
has been at once my hope and my des.
pair. Despair, because nothing would
stay on it. Move a chair and an
ugly streak across the floor was the
result. Lift a chair and a chunk of
paint carate away with it. My hope
was that some happy day we could
get a sanding machine, take off all
the old paint and get down to the
natural wood• But we knew it would
Le quite a job and we were afraid if
we tackled it ourselves it might not
be a success, While we were still
undecided two young fellows started
up In business doing just that very
work, so we made the plunge. Last
Monday the then arrived with all
thar equipment, and the fun began.
They were here almost a day and a
half and I think they just about suf-
focated, But the floor is a great
success. The wood is what is known
as "knotty white pine", and comes
up quite light in colour, which is
what I wanted. After sanding, the
floor was given a coat of wood filler,
then crack filler and finally clear
varnish. Later it will be well waxed.
When the floor was done 1 went
to work at painting—and now that,
too, is almost finished — my kind
friend whom I mentioned last week
came down and helped me again.
Next week there will be the papering
to do, and that I intend to do myself.
It would be nice to turn the whole

the most saintly man we have had in
our time. The faith that millions had
In him was exemplified in the power
he held ,ver an erratic mass of Ig-
norant people. it's very unlikely that
we will ever see again a man with
such power of emotion and goodness
—especially over so many people.
People, young and old, who do not
attend church often look down upon
those who do. They call them bible-
totin•so•and sos' etc. They criticize
those who go and often try to make
thein appear like hypocrites, This Is
definitely the wrong attitude to take.
Young people today must think of
the church, and try to help it along.
It's true that the church needs all
the support it can get. The church
needs us, but not nearly as much as
we need the church. Remember that.
* * *
Many people who do not go to
church will argue that they are as
good, if not better than a lot of those
who who go, This is a very silly
and childish argument. Whether you
are better than those who do go, has
nothing at all to do wih it. Going
to church is for your own good and
yours only,
Yes, gang, we do need religion. We
need it more today than we ever
needed it, Go to church every Sun-
day. Not because your neighbor
does, but because you want to, be-
cause you feel the need of the uplift
It gives you, And retnember if He
needed it, we all need it, Religion is
a part of our every day life and If
we practice good christianship and
keep the church close to us we will
be a lot better for it.

Redingote, Bolero,
Choice for Summer
The redingote, with either a petti-
coat or a complete printed dress
peeping from the folds of its full -
skirted coat appears headed for a
sununer of new popularity. One
variation on the theme for the sum-
mer costume consists of a blue and
white silk print dress, a separate
open front skirt and bolero in sheer
navy wool, . For a dressier mood
there's a fitted black redingote with
extended hipline and a white eyelet
cotton petticoa' t match a neckline
tie.
Short jacket suits will also be
popular, 'There are snug -fitting
boleros a i : Victorian bolero with
a full flared back and ball fringe
trimmings, Slim skirted suits fre-
quently are topped with straight -
hanging waist length jackets. A
jacket dubbed "Prince Consort"
fastens at the neckline and spreads
open in a V-shape to its belted
waistline.
Evening dresses, most of them
ankle length, feature a new "pull
down" neckline, which can be worn
modestly around the collarbone or
lower,
The bolero and the blouse share
importance in a goodly number of
new spring suits.

Anti Steel Trap Campai
For the Protection of
Very few people have ever
thought about the cruelty involved
in trapping fur -bearing animals, and
when it is first brought to their
Went: m, they are deeply shocked.
It is a fact that the vast majority
of animals caught in steel traps do
not die at once, but are held by a
wounded or broken paw until death
comes, sometimes days later. The
best death such an animal can hope
for is death by drowning, if the
trap is set under water, and even
this is tot a quick death, since the
animals for which this is designed
can exist fo, comparatively long
periods under water. Otherwise
death comes from freezing, which
also is slow, a, these animals are
equipped by nature to live in very
cold climates, or by starvation,
thirst or gangrene, or by the hand
of the trapper who may not visit
his traps often, "Grey Owl" writes
in "Pilgrims of the Wild" (page 49)'
that frequenti,, birds will pick out
the eyes before the animal is dead.
In the meantime the trapped ani-
mal suffers the terror of a wild
creature captured, and the agonize
ing pressure on the wounded paw.
Is it any wonder that such animals
sometimes escape by chewing or
twisting off their own paw, and that
animals have been caught by their
one remaining foot?
Works Against Cruelty
The majority are appalled when
first they learn of the cruelty
involved in trapping, and the
A.P,F.A., Th• Association for the
Protection of Fur -Bearing Animals,
is an organization founded to work
against this cruelty, The Associa-
tion, though not yet as large as it
must become to be truly effective, is
growing, and has now been in ex-
istenece for thirtce» years. It is
a hutnane society which aims to
protect the wild, fur -bearing animals
of Canada from a lingering death
in a steel trap. The Association is
endorsed by the leading Humane
Societies across Canada, In addi-
tion to ''te parent body its Toronto
there i, a well established branch of
the Associ- tiottsin Vancouver.
We are' willing to attack this
enormot' problem from any and all
angles. The American Humane
Society offered money prizes for
the i tvention of humane traps.
Scores have been tried, but so far,
none has been entirely satisfactory.
Most of them cost more, and those
of the box -type are more difficult
to transport, while still others take
longer to set up than the old cruel

trap, We have not given up hope
however, of finding something as
cheap and as effective, and more
humane; a type of trap which would
kill instantly would scent to most of
us to be the ideal, something that
would do away with the terror and
agony now suffered.
Don'ts for Trappers
If you are a trapper in your
spare time, we suggest that you
follow these four DON'TS drawn
up specifically for the sgtare•tirne
trapper, 1, If snaring is still per•
witted in your county and you make
a practice of killing predators and
fur -bearers in this manner, DON'T
in mercy's name use the hay -wire,
home-made snare. Write us for
particulars of a humane snare, 2.
DON'T use snares of steel pinch
traps where the box type will do.
3, DON'T neglect to visit every
trap at least once in twenty-four
hours. 4. NEVER under any con-
sideration be guilty of using a
"spring -pole" set.
To all trappe.., vendors and
purchasers of fur, and to the public
at large we say, "Every sentient
creature which contributes to the
production of the things we use or
enjoy deserves, at the very least,
humane consideration."
The fur trade Is the oldest estab-
lished industry in :his country: some
historians claim that Canada was
built upon it, but that Is no reason
why its appalling cruelty should be
permitted to continue, Norway,
Sweden, Finland and even Ger'
many, have all : bolished the steel
trap. Why is North Atnerica so
backward itt this one particular?

closed, it would be for the last time

much. \\'hen one was the last of

unbearably hard to say farewell to
tit: old rosewood piano.
The piano had been the last of her
things to go. The sale of the piano
had removed her sole means of live-
lihood—music teaching, however, ft
had brought a small measure of com-
fort, too. The money added to her
small, painfully accumulated savings,
would enable her to enter "Sunset
Honte-Haven for the Aged," with
her head up—beholden to no one.
Old Sam Warner, waiting patitent.
ly at the curb with his rig, climbed
down, "Better let me handle that,
Miss Letty," he smiled. "Pretty big
bag for a little lady."
Letty relinquished the bag grate-
fully. "Time was," she answered,
"When I could carry twice that
weight," She paused, recalling.
"Why, I Shoved my • piano around

tottchetlrit. No' even at house-clean-
ing tithe,"
"Set great store by that planny,
eh, Miss Letty? Long's I can re-
member, you were playing it every
time I went by."
"Sam, 1 loved that piano more than
1 should love an inanimate thing,"
she answered. "11 was everything 1
wanted. 1t was a wonderful friend."
Sate helped her into the rig,
climbed in himself, lifted the reins
and clucked gently to his horse.
"Bet there ain't a grown-up in Mill•
port but what don't remember that
planny," he chuckled. "How many
young•uns do you Jigger you taught
musk to, ilfiss Letty?"
"Oh, dozens, Sam, 1 guess. And
you know, 1 don't think there was
one who didn't like music, deep
down."
The two rode silently for a while.
Occasionally Sam pointed out a
clump of flowers, or a familiar tree,
lifting its shy, green hods to the
spring sun.
"i like flowers," he confided Pres -
nay, "Anything that grows. I like
earth. Secrns like just feeling soil

She smiled. "Before the new folks

roses." •
"\Vtty, thanks, Miss Letty, I'll do

or Another °.
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
For the past couple of seasons most
of the other National Hockey'League
clubs have been loudly beefing about
allegedly illegal tactics used by the
Maple Leafs, So the other Clay a
Toronto paper published some action-
pictures
ction-
pictures taken during a Leafs -
Rangers' game, clearly showing that
the New Yorkers were using pre-
dsely the same tactics that they, and
the others, had been complaining
about,
* * *
Just why the paper should have
gone to this trouble, we really cannot
say. Any competent observer of
hockey, as it is played today, knows
right well that if ever the rules
against illegal hooking and holding
were strictly enforced they'd have to
double the size of all the penalty -
coops, and that most games would
be largely played with an average of
about three players a side on the ice.
* * *
What is really irking talose other
"Big League" teams, in our opinion,
is the fact that the Leafs are cow
siderably smoother in their use of
such tactics, and don't get naught
ill the art as often as the clunsier
oars.
* * *
There may be a reason for this
state of affairs; or the "hook check"
—which is simply keeping an oppon'
int out of action under the guise of
reaching for the puck—was brought
to its finest flower of perfection by
"Happy" Day, now coach of the
Maple Leafs. Playing on the :.me
team with men like Red I-Iorner,
King Clancy, Chuck Conather and
other rough -and ready operators, Day
had the reputation of being an ex-
ceptionally clean player; And while
it is undoubtedly true that he never
performed any great amount of
bodily mayhem on his opponents,
what he used to do to their morale
is something !
a
else again!
* *
Deceivingly powerful — he had
more strength in his arms than a1 -
most any athlete we've ever known—
Day could hook an enemy out of the
play, and keep him under restraint
long enough for a Leaf attack to
get organized, so smoothly that, un-
less you were specifically looking for
it, you'd never notice what was being
done. Too, the Innocent expression
on his face when the maddened
"hookec" took a swat at him—and
so got himself penalized — was es-
pecially maddening. I -ie was a real
artist at It, make no mistake about
that; and while "Happy" was—and is
— his generally accepted nickname,
"Clarence the Clutch" was what some
of his disgruntled opponents used to
calf him.
* * *
But for all that, there's little doubt
that there's far too much of this
hooking and holding today, both in
professional and amateur hockey,
and that it's doing a lot to spoil the
game for spectators. Except in very
rare instances, there's no occasion
for a player to raise Ms stick higher
Man his waist; ,and if the officials
would make the boys keep their
sticks down where they belong, we'd
Ne a lot more hockey, and a lot les:

lish rugger.

This is not a book -review column,
which is probably just as well, be-
cause we generally get round to
reading a worth -while book any-
where from 3 to 5 years after it has
gone out of print, Still, to all
theatre fans who remember the
great days of Montgomery and
Stone, we recommend — if you
haven't already done so — reading
ROLLING STONE, in which Fred
Stone tells the story of his life in
a highly interesting manner,
* * *
Stone was probably one of the
greatest natural athletes who ever
dived, As good a judge as James
J. Corbett told him he was good
enough to be a champion boxer,
but advised against it. He played
baseball well enough to be a big -
leaguer had he so chosen; and could
hold his own t.'.h the best at trap-
shooting, roping, rodeo work —
anything, in fact, he had a notion of
taking up, Nor does he tell of such
things in any way of self -praise,
simply as happenings along the
way,
* * *
His skating experience is of in-
terest to Canadians. He first tried
that sport t hale on a visit to Tor•
onto—and didn't do so well at it.
Years later' he had the notion of
doing a figure skating act on the
stage, and set out to plaster the art;
and inside a few weeks had done
so to an amazing extent, in fact
t' e act was one of the hits of the '
show.
* * *
You see, taws nobody had told

Toronto were of the hockey variety

Young Canada Carries On l—And such carryings -on ! Some of
the older folks may say. Still, it's lots of fun for the younger
folks, and probably not any sillier -looking than the square-
dance, the one-step or the Charleston appeared to oldsters of
bygone eras. It's a scene from CANADA DANCES, the
National Film Board picture illustrating what a great part
dancing has played—and is still playing—in the development
of our Nation's social life.
Dancing's Fun for Young and Old
"Victory Day, New Year's Eve
or plain high spirits, whatever the
occasion, if it makes you happy,
tradition will get you, You'll
dance."
These are the opening words of
David Cotton, the commentator
who speaks to you from the screen
as the filar-. "Canada Dances" un-
winds before your eyes.
"Canada Dances," a National
Film Board production which will
be seen ' . many •ural Ontario com-
munities this winter, is the story
of dancing in Canada, In many re-
spects, we in Canada are lucky, for
with our divergent backgrounds we
have inherited almost all known
forms of the dance. Listen again
to the commentator:
"It doesn't matter how you
dance, who you dance with or
where you dance. Once you're In
the mood, you'll dance! You don't
have to learn. It's as easy as
breathing, You shake your shouts
ders, beat your feet, link hands or
arms—and let 'er rip."
"In it's most perfect form, the
dance becomes art, Ballet's rich-
ness of color, music and precise
movement 19 carefully thought out
in advance—none of this spur of
the moment stuff, For ballet, like
the tribal dance from which it grew,
expresses not only joy and cele-
bration, but mail's mystical beliefs,
his hopes, his fears—his life,"
Canada Has Both •
There you have the extremes:
the happy-go-lucky, infortnal and
spirited dance, and the serious, sym-
bolic ritual dance.. In Canada we
have then both. And the "in-be-
tween" dances? We have an abun2
dance of these too,
In Canada's early days the. no-
madic Indiana developed elaborate
ritual dances for the purpose of
Imploring the spirits of rain and
good hunting for food, the spirit of

Greek princess; was educated in the
palace in Bucharest, along with
twelve commoners picked from vari-
ous walks of life to be his cow
pardons, first canoe to the throne
when he was not quite six years
old; his father, Carol, had abdicated
to pursue l.is lift with Magda Lu'
pescu. A regency ruled, and Mihai
was left to his toys and pony. When
Mihai was nine Carol came back to
the throne, displacing the boy, In
the early days of the recent war
young Mihai became king for the
second tithe, tvhe Carol fled again;
The Nazis were now in effective
control of Romania, In 1944 when
the victorious Russians were driv-
ing into .Romania, Mihai locked up
the pro -Nazi Premier in a vault
and switched his nation to the Al-
lied side. For eight days he actually
was ruler; then the Russians took
over, making hint a figure -head once
more, He anhtrsed himself by reck-
lessly fast drivir_; of automobiles
and speedboats, almost tore the
w'ngs off the light training plane in
which lie learned to fly because he
insisted on simulating dive bomb-
ing.

the beat of tomtonh and moccasined
feet,
The early pioneers, both British
and French, carried In their hearts
the traditions of the lands they
left. In their settlements, after the
hardships of the day were over,
they joined hands In the steps and
melodies of the reel, the jig, the
quadrille and the passepied, Today
these dances are as much .alive as
they were one hundred years ago.
From Overseas
Later settlers, among them the
Scandinavians, Finns, Ukrainians,
Chinese, Dutch a n d Poles, also
came to till Canadian soil. They,
too, brought their dances, Happy
dances, rythmical, colorful and
varied,
All these dances flourish today
in the countryside, and even in the
industrial cities, But the industrial
age, bringing with it the roar and
speed of transportation, the whistle
and shriek of factory, the chatter of
machines, has produced yet another
form of dancing, "jitterbugging."
The dance of the cities is like life
in the cities: it is tricky, nervous
and fast, It is symbolic of the clat-
ter of street cars, the jumping pulse
of traffic lights, elevators, skyscra-
pers, timcclocks, assembly lines and
typewriters. They get the "city -
slicker" in a groove—a groove that
fits him for the dance he has come
to know best.
But — whatever the step, and
wherever it is done, It 19 still danc-
ing, And dancing, as "Canada
Dances" points out, is as old as
man himself,

One -Hand Driving
A Serious Menace
In the hue and cry after the var-
ious hazards of motoring that ser-
iously affect life and limb, little is
said about one -hand driving, This
is not meant facetiously, The haz-
ard is a real one, says The Insur-
ance Magazine,
Modern cars steer so easily that
there is a constant temptation to
take one hand off the wheel, to
drive with the other, perhaps even
with but one or two fingers. Men-
tal relaxatir, accompanies this
practice. Any sudden emergency, a
blowout, a child dashing between
parked cars, a sudden skid, finds
the drivir physically unprepared,
unable to cope with the situation.
Elementary, isn't it? Yet how
many of us are . completely free
from criticism on this score? Both
hands on the wheel, please!
