The Brussels Post, 1952-12-31, Page 6E C a v 't SPORT.S COLUMN
• If I. could re.ro:1 the Min of 1952, these,
are some of the things I'd like to see:
Terry Sawchuk in the Detroit Red Wings
nets, playing any one of those ineonperable
shut -out games in the Stanley Cup series;
Sugar Jim Henry, the Boston Bruin goater,
rakint Ms last gallant stand against Can-
adians in the Cup serici, with his nose
broken, his eye -lids rnere slits that hail been carefully pried open
before -the game; Rocket Richard scoring goal No, 325 for a sew
National League record, unaware that his final shout had sent
the puck railing in, turning pale and almost fainting when he
realized that the long straits, lasting five games had ended at last.
Rod Smylie, making the 25 yard run after taking a 3teyard
passto snatch victory' for Toronto Argonauts ever klamilton
'Cleats in the dying mofnents of the third playoff game to decide
the Interprovincial football title; any of the races in which the
great grey colt Native Dancer, 2 -year -champion o{ the year, spread-
eagled his field; the fantastic ending to theeRay Robinson - Joey
Maxim fight, when Robinson, out -weighed, collapsed from the
fearful heat and his own exertions.
Emil Zatopek, grimacing and shadow-boxing his way to
three Olympic triumphs on cinder -path and road, stamping hien
the greatest distance runner of our time; coach Casey Stengel
of the champion Yankees juggling to make those amazing pitcher
changes, in the last game of the world baseball series; Joe Black,
tall, smiling, soft-spoken Negro pitcher starting the opening game
of the Series and winning it.
Big Jean Beliveau, giant Quebec Ace, and most•sought ama-
teur by professional clubs, cranking up for one *of his great free-
wheeling rushes, then roaring along to score as the Quebecers
blazed their trail to the Alexander Trophy; Milt Schmidt of Bos-
ton Bruins, one of the greatest of modern ire stars, whistling
home goal No. 200, the night of March 18, and Bobby Bauer, of
the immortal Boston Kraut line of Schmidt-DumareBauer, re-
turning for one glorious night in the Big Time, to srore a goal;
tieorge Geneureux, a 17 -year-old trap -shooting star from Saska-
toon, with ice -water in his veins, winning for Canada :ts only gold
,pedal at the Olympic games against the best elicits in the world.
And the film of 19$2 wouldn't be complete unless you were
sitting on the 50 -yard line when Edmonton Eskimos overcame a
19 -point deficit and went on to eleminate Calgary Stampeders in
the western football race; and a week later, after" losing the
opener of the two -of -three final right in Edmonton to Winnipeg,
took the final game to the amazement of everybody except Frankie
Filchock, who called the shots all along.
• What a film all that would be. I'd like to ire it and so would
everybody else.

Women Live Longer
--Eat Less, Wear Less
Women are hardier, tougher
tu:,cc healthier than men. Also,
more women than men live to
a ripe old age. This is no mere
evefdent; they eat less and are
more selective about their food,
and wear far fewer clothes.
Thus, women are rarely the vic-
tims of gluttony, and they suf-
-ter less front cold feet, cold hands
s,nd had circulation.
allindren, too, seem to be
brought up more sensibly to -day
than they used to be; though
there are Exception:, Reeentiy,
Dr. R. 11. Parry, Medical Offi-
cer for Health at Bristol, des-
sribed the case of a small boy
who simply could not obey the
Instructions of the P. -T. instruc-
tor. When she went over to see
what was the matter she dis-
eovered that he was wearing
three sets of thick underclothing
which restricted his movements
Parents all over England are
being asked to see films on phy-
sical education, which teach
Them that too many clothes are
harmful and not only restrict
movement but retard circula-
tion. What is more, the skin
should be exposed to the air in
all except very cold weather, in
Order to inure it to extremes of
temperature and enable the
pores to breathe. Many ailments
are due to people mollycoddling
'' 'nselves. Fresh air and cold
water are Iwo of the most neg-
lected doctors.
Wife Has Baby So
Husband Goes To Bed
When recently a woman gave
birth to a son near Cambo,
Southern France, her husband
took to his bed—and the mother
was up two hours after the
event, doing the housework!
There he stayed for ten days
while his wife prepared wine for
guests, entertained them and gave
her husband light broth. This
custom is only practised by the
Basques among Europeans,
though common in some distant
parts of the world.
Among the Bayakas of the
Congo the father carries the
child about to show that ail his
attention is occupied in looking
after it. He even refrains from
washing or bathing until the
child ran walk.
The Indians of New Guinea,
too, keep up this custom of con -
rade. The prospective mother
goes into the forest with one or
two helpers, and when the baby
is born she returns to work
while the husband strings up his
hammock, in which he lies for
days and even weeks. He must
not eat meat or wash, for the
child is part of him, and any
bad habits he may have will be
transferred to the infant.

n,end this sleeping mixture?"

"Disaster River"
Vanishes Again
Villagers at Chalfont St. Giles
and Chalfont St. Peter, Bucks,
are worried by The River That
Won't Stay Put. It is -the River
Misbourne, which rises .near
Great Missenci,en and runs
through Amersham and the
Chalfonts to Denham. For the
river, they say, is disappearing
again and in the Chalfont areas
its bed was recently practically
dry.
Why are the residents worried?
Because the older ones declare
that every time the river or
portions of it vanish, it is an
augury of disaster. It dried up
just before each of the two world
wars.
For years the ,local councils
have been trying to find out
why the mysterious Misbourne
disappears. One theory is that
periodically it goes underground
for a few miles. It has beet,
known to reappear overnight,
flowing strongly.
These bewildered •Bucks resi-
dents may be interested in a
Norfolk river which left its bed
One Friday night and vanished,
leaving hundreds of fish floun-
dering on dry land. The fish in-
cluded roach and large bream,
some weighing as much as six
pounds. Men in .the Wymondham
districts quickly gathered up
the fish and took them home.
It was found that part of the
river bed had given way and
that all the water had gone un-
derground.
Ni'.. t ��WI5IT�
Our reader's may 1'beall that at
the beginning of the year we
swore off trying to peer into the
future, on the principle, that it's
a wise man *Ito stows enough
to quit when 11e'5 ahead, It Is
true that we slipped to the ex-
tent of calling Cleveland to take
the American League and Bos-
ton to do the same in the Na-
tional; and, 1f course,' that pre-
diction did not some absolutely
true, Still, even if . neither ,the
Braves and the Inidtins°manjig-
ed to head their' loops, neither
did either finish in the cellar,
Which is pretty -good going, for
us,
On the turf, what we recall
most clearly during the past
year, was how many juicy Daily
Doulales we just missed—through
no fault of our own, we would
like to assure„ you. Time after
time, -just as soon as- we saw
the winning numbers hung up,
'and the' winning figures 'posted
we knew right away that those
were the horses we slaps liked.
,rust why we failed to wager on
them•is one of those sweet nays-
terie' of life familiar 't'itli all
horse -players, and not so sweet
at that.
Well, Isere at the start of 19,53
we have decided, firmly and• un-
shakably, that we are going to
make one — count it —' one pre-
diction- for this year, and even if
you should beg us to change our
mind, which we doubt you will,
we shall refuse.
Still, to make up for .the lack
of quantity in our forecasts we
are going strong on`'quality. In •
fact this is one prediction on
which you can wager your shirt,
and even offer liberal odds, And
-ter a it is:
.• .a . v
-WE PREDICT -THAT IN THE
YEAR 1953 THERE -WILL BE
EXACTLY THE FOLLOWING
NUMBER -OF DAYS
AND AS WE'RE A LITTLE
BUSY TRYING TO MEET A
DEADLINE, YOU CAN COUNT

ST ACKING WOOD •
—from Countryman's Year, by Haydn S. Pearson
FARM lad of a dozen year, or eo is" altsays deeply concerned
Geer what Saturday will. tiring forth in the way of a task, if the
weather is favorable in spring, a fellow is pretty sure of what Father
ill annoy^� a ,.o �arur' !t !'f"21'1^3t1 $i' if it i$ rainy: or if the
soil is wet ;tom a recent rain so that cultivating, planting, or hoeing are
inn pf the picture, a boy feels some trepidation. Therefore, it is with
a certain feeling of relief that he hears, "Well, Son, %shat do you say
ton stack wort today?" Stacking woad is not necessarily an exciting
;oh, but it is far „higher on the scale than sprouting potatoes or cleaning
ottt the henhouse or the ralf pen, .
Before oil and electricity became connnon, a guod farmer took pride
in his woodpile. It tor,k many cords to keep the Pig kitchen range and
the parlor base -burner supplied during the year. After the Pile was
sawed and split itt early spring, it became a boy's task to use the
wheelbarrow and take the snood to the woodshed for stacking,
There is something appealing about an old woodshed. The floor
i5 deep with litter -bit, of wood, bark, sawdust, and debris. There is
a peculiar satisfying smell to it—a dry. acrid, pungent aromacont-
pounded of dust and the different varieties of wood. Load after load
nom's in, and nue carefully builds the tiers higher and higher. The
splintery pieces of hardwood have to he fitted against each other so
the tier will be San and solid. The big, gnarled, knotty chunks Inc the
t,arlor burner go into a heap in one cornet; email stuff for kindling
gats into another. And, %if course, along about ten o'clock or so, if a
young man smells the spiry, tantalizing fragrance of !tot gingerbread
ttr the bland, inviting aroma of freshly fried doughnuts, it is takett,for
granted that he will go to the kitchen to see how Mother is coming
along with the Saturday baking.
Stacking wood is just cats of the tontine term tasks, hitt when
shore time arrive., a rnnritrymau takes pleasure ?t day's end in the
sight of the good flttd ready for future use,
• Cured By Bagpipes
Eight years ago Elmer Har-
ford, formerly of Edinburgh,
sustained a war injury that left
him with a stiff right knee. A
series of medical examinations
revealed no injury, but he con-
tinued walking with a very stiff
leg.
Some nights ago he went to a
hall where the Highland pipers
of the Capetown Caledonian So-
eiety were practising a reel.
Suddenly a girl friend seized
him and began to dance hien
round the hall.
When Harford returned to his
seat he found himself walking
with no trace of stiffness. His
stiff knee was perfectly flexible
and when the next dance was
announced he whirled happily
into it With his partner. To -day
his knee is as flexible as it was
before the war, The, bagpipes
healed it, although there are
some iow Sassenaehs who might
think the cure worse than the
disease, at that.
