"I'm an ex -porter, too," said Groucho. "The railway fired me when I lost my grip, But I've got a case against them now." A telephone operator told him she was unmarried. "What!" ex- claimed Groucho, "A telephone girl without a ring. I'll have to put in a plug for you." Puns and wisecracks come from him in a continuous now. He is a master of the play on words and the impromptu gag. Today, at 62, he is in the $10,000 -a -week class and on top of both films and TV. But most of his cracks are at somebody's expense; that, perhaps, is why he is known as "the world's insultingest man." One quiz entrant told Groucho he was British, and added; "I have a castle in Scotland that goes back to the fifteenth cen-. tury." "That's all right," said Grou- cho. "I have a home that, goes back to the housing association." A weight -lifter told him that a puny man could enrol at his gymnasium and emerge a year later with a perfect figure..Said Groucho; "That's nothing. Last night I went to a burlesque show and came out with a perfect fig- ure in fifteen minutes." An air -hostess said she was annoyed by cigar -smoking pas- sengers. "You mean I can't smoke my cigar when I fly?" he asked. "Well, we use discretion, if you don't annoy the lady passen- gers, you may." - "If there has to a choice," said Groucho, "I won't smoke, I'll annoy the lady passengers in- stead." Filmgoers will be as useo to his cigar as to his outrageous moustache and slouching walk. But they don't see Groucho at bis best, which is in an unre- hearsed battle of words. It was his mother who pushed him and his four brothers to suc- cess. His first stage appearance was made at the age of five. He never had time to go to school, for his mother was relentlessly touring them round the States. It would be an exaggeration to say the Marx Brothers were a riot on the stage. It wasn't until Groucho invented his "Napoleon" sketch that the act caught on. In this Groucho, as Napoleon, says goodbye to the Empress -Jose- phine as he sets off for the wars. As she embraces various lovers he charges hack, having forgot- ten his hat and sword. There is a blare of music from backstage. "Ah, the mayonnaise!" he cries, clasping Josephine. "1' am off. Beyond the Alps lies more Alps, and the Lord ales those who alp themselves." In the movies the Marxes far• ed better. Their pictures were moderate successes at the .time but today they are much more. The Marx Brothers have become the clowns for connoisseurs. Four years ago, by mutual arrangement, the team split up and went their separate 'ways. Last year the inmates of San Quentin prison voted him. their favourite entertainer. Grouch° wrote to the warden: "I note that 1 received 1,573 votes out of 1,030. I iel it only right to adult:° you that if my brother Barpo wa3 wherry he belonged. 7 would have polled 1,574." Not evert hi'•family i,. from the worirr. ,cuultiner.: man.

Driving over a big hump we noticed a sign at the side of the road saying that from here on. all water was flowing into the Arctic Ocean, which made us feel chilly enough to close the window. We also noticed that in the clear cool air of the North the car was picking up Speed on those long long . stretches of pavement without our pushing the gas. Time honoured Manner Tirmnins is a quiet little place and people look peaceful and contented. As a matter of fact it struck us that they all seem to wear a gay little smile behind their whiskers like the prover- bial cat that has eaten the can- ary. They are happy and they tell you why as soon as you come in the door. Everybody is talking about Operation "Clean -Up" of last week, when the striking miners of Broulan - Reef raided the mine to deal with the scabs, brought in by the manager, in "the time honoured manner." The whole thing was carried out with the methodical preci- sion of the Commando raids the boys were taught to use in the last war. 17 Minutes 3uu men were milling around the police cars talking to the Provincials while 13 cars, parkh ed along the road, quietly and unobstrusively filled up with five met' bitch. At a given signal they all sped off right through themine gate up to the change house where the strike breakers Were clean- ing up. It did not ,take them long to finish ,the jobsalthough they did it with their bare fiats and not, as the press reported, with sticks and bats. The scabs had those as they had been expect- ing something of the, sort. Ten of the strike breakers were dragged along,, packed in the cars to be dumped on the highway three miles away, The whole operation was over in 17 minutes. Thr: mine manager. fired three shot,: at the last car and hit a • tirr. It was the only car in the 'ohele convoy with self-sealing trran and therefore could drive nn. Ar one of the men •said after - 1 wards: "God must have been with us" Shoot to Maim. Timmins is a mining town and a union town and nothing in- terests the people as much as mining and union business. They realize that the companies are out to break 'the union and they are not going to have it. The manager of Broulan-Reef has armed the strike-breakers left in the mine and given them the order: "Shoot to maim. Ile has refused to -follow the in- vitation of Mr. Daley, Ontario Minister of Labour, t0 come to Toronto and. consult with him and union representatives. He is also reported to have said that he would hang up on Leslie Frost himself if he were to call him up. Old Memories. We had the opportunity to vis- it the picket lines with our old friend Bill Grummett, CCF member for Cochrane South in the Ontario Legislature. The boys are of goodcheer, but they are wondering whether the times are coming beck when workers were shot at because they wanted to organize. They are, however, resolved to stand by their rights and to defend their union, Farmers of Ontario might learn from the miners of Tim- mins bow to handle scabs, the next time they call a milk strike or are locked out by the fruit and vegetable , canning com- panies.

This emerges from the inves- tigations of experts in Ocean°- graphy, whose results have just been published in Italy, In every square kilometre of ocean there can be found an average of 65 million fishes. Since the total surface of the earths oceans amounts to 1,372 million square kilometres, the world's fish population is 80,000,000,000,- 000,000, How One Man 'Bagged' A Market When you're in bed in a hospi- tal, you have time to do a lot of thinking, And that's when Philip Bagley,,, Cumberland County, threatened with blindness, thought himself right into a bigger and better market than ever for his garden produce. Phil was worried about his eyes, but he also fretted about 60, tons. of Blue Hubbard squash back home, that was about to spoil on a slow market, He suggested to his wife that the squash might sell if it were cubed and packaged in one - pound plastic (poly -ethylene) bags. Mrs. Bagley asked wholesale grocers about it. "We don't know; can't tell until we try it," they told her. Neighbors helped slice and bag the squash, and the trial run was on. Today, Phil (with sight part- ially returned in one eye) has four wholesale outlets, and others are waiting. Last summer he built a 08'x36' story -and -a -half washing and storage shed that has a full base- ment, He has a payroll of six persons, Phil says that by cubing and packaging his crop he nets about double the ordinary wholesale price. When squash sold at $35 a ton wholesale, Phil grossed around $200 a ton, and netted $65 after labor, shrinkage, and spoilage. Going at full speed, his plant can turn out 2,000 one -pound packages of squash daily. Phil is now starting to pack carrots, too. "While I lay there in the hos- pital I decided that the reason city folks wouldn't buy squash was because the squashes were too large," he said. "I figured that one -pound packages would be about right. Looks like I hit it right on the nose." Gary Cooper, hero and Award winner of many Westerns, once tried to be a real cow -puncher. He was sacked from three suc- cessive jobs. Glenn Ford started out as a salesman, but was fired. It was the same, with Humphrey Bogart. Errol Flynn, before his film career, was sacked from so many jobs that he has lost count. "Terrible Terry" Didn't Loof Long Nowadays the bolting commis- sions of the various states put all sorts of restrictions On fights that under -age youngsters are permit- ted to engage In, It wasn't always. like that and no stony of the ring is more to the point than Terry McGovern's. Terry fought at the turn of, the century. Some say that he started professionally when he was only a kid of sixteen, It is a fact that by tate time McGovern was seventeen he was already known as the "Terror of the Ring." "Terrible Terry" they nicknamed him, and the young- ster richly deserved the name. lie was the most savage and dy- namic fighter of his time. He feared absolutely no one. Before he was twenty-one years of age, Terry won the ban- tamweight championship of the world, That, in itself,' is remark- able. Before he was twenty-one, he also won the featherweight title! Incredible, you say? That is not all for little Terry Mc- Govern was so great a fighter, that' before he was' old enough to vote, he not only copped the bantam crqwn and the feather- weight' title but he also fought Frank Erne, the lightweight champion of the world—and knocked him out! Indeed, Terry McGovern was a great little bruiser. He proudly strutted up and cloven the land with his titles and his hard swinging fists, winning all the boring glory that'11141'e was for him to get. And then, one day, in 1901, Terry came to Hartford, Connec- ticut, to fight an unknown nam- ed Young Corbett, a lad from Denver, Colorado. The fight looked like an easy touch for unbeatable Terry. He was sitting on the rubbing table in his dressing room, wait- ing for the call to go into the ring, when someone hammered. on the door. A harsh voice 011 the other side growled, "Come on out of there, McGovern, you tramp, and take your licking." It was Young Corbett. Little Terry McGovern, the greatest hitter and lighter of his weight inthe fight game, turned white, not with fear but with rage. He sprang -from the rubbing table. "Let's get out of here!" he shout- ed to his handlers. "Come on, ] want to get at that guy!" Trainer, manager, seconds in- stantly obeyed the Terrible Terry. Not one of them but thought that he would tear the challenger limb from limb. But that night the boxing world was treated to one of its most shocking surprises. Before two rounds had pased by, the great, the invincible, the unbeat- able Terrible Terry McGovern lay unconscious on the canvas, the victim of a knockout at the hands of the boastful little man from Denver. And above him, grinning down at his still form, stood Young Corbett saying, "I told you you were a bum!" That was the beginning of the end of the mighty atom of the ring. Terrible Terry McGovern never amounted to much after the beating he took at the hands of Young Corbett. And the sur- prising twist to the story is that, while McGovern won the ban- tamweight and featherweight championships of the world be- fore he was twenty-one, and knocked out the lightweight champion of the world before he was twenty-one, he was also through and washed up as a fighter—before he was twenty- one!
