S. ATKEY Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1946 SOME REFLECTIONS ON LOCAL SPORTS C Baton is a fine sporting town itself• and is he centre of a fine sporting cointryside. The people of Clinton and district are looked upon by outsiders as "good sports"• and that's a pretty nice kind of a reputation to have. We are agreed that sports of all types should be developed in this community and are solidly behind any move M that direction. Today—before the end of August—all purely Clinton teams Jame out of baseball and softball competition leading to Ontario titles. The softball team—the Ricliwears—were eliminated Monday evening at Winghain and the Inter- mediate baseball team—the Colts—were knocked out the very next night at Henna The girls' softball and boys' Juvenile 'baseball teams were put out some time ago. ,Of ceurse, the R. and C. S. team is still very much in the rtmning for the Ontario intermediate baseball champion-, ship, and the best wishes of all Clinton and district sport • fans are with them in their pennant campaign: This year, several athletes were members of both the baseball and softball teams. The •result was that these players had a pretty tough season and might be said to have gone "stale" through too much of one game or the other, when the group play-offs rolled around. The players all follow their daily occupations and are strictly fellows wanting to have a little sport on the side.. In any event, playing too different brands of ball is .almost too much of a • good thing. It has been proved that it adversely affects the quality of pla.y in both types of game, taking into con- sideration timing and other faetors. What we would like to see in Milton is more teams and more players in alr sports. Town baseball and .town softball leagues, as well as a town hockey league, Should • operate in this community, becaude that would be better for everybody. And there is no reason that teams repre- senting the town might not be selected from the best players of the town leagues. For his or her own good, every youngster should play some kind of game. , • 0 0 0 PRICE CONTROL -400 YEARS AGO! 1 • f anyone thinks that rationing and price control measures belong to a group of "new-fangled" ideas, let him peruse the following "Proclamation Con- cerning Butchers" which was issued by the notorious King Henry VIII of England, March 23, 1535. We are indebted to W. V. Roy, Londesboro, secretary -treasurer, Huron County Federation of Agriculture, for the copy of the four -centuries-old proclamation. "F'orasmuch as the King's Majesty is credibly ad- vertised and informed, that beeves, muttons, and veals are likely to be more scarce and dear now against this holy time of Easter than in other seasons of the year, by reason of the charges of keeping such cattle with hay and other stover in the winter; by occasion whereof the butchers and other(s) that shall sell such beeves, muttons, and veals by weight cannot buy them of the breeders, brokers, fanners, drovers, owners, and feeders of such cattle at such reason- able prices in gross as they may sell the same again by retail ,at such prices as are limited in the act made for selling of flesh by weight, unless it should be to their utter loss and undoing. • . "His Highness therefore, willing that the same butch- ers and other(s) selling flesh by retail for the time here- after limited in this proclarmation should be so conveniently provided for in the premises as they should not have any cause reasonably to forebear their provisions for such victuals to be sold at retail against this holy tinte of Easter for relief and succor his subjects in as ,ample manner as heretofore have been accustomed; Is therefore contented and pleased that, from henceforth until the 23rd day of June next coming, butchers and all other(s) that shall sell flesh of the kinds aforesaid by weig,ht by retail shall and may sell from time to time, unto the said 23rd day of June next. combig, every pound of beef good and wholesome for man's body for a half -penny and one half -farthing and no more: And every pound of mutton for three farthings only and no more: And every pound of veal for a half -penny and haN farthing and no more. "Provided always, that no butcher or other(s) shall kill any calves to sell by retail for the term of two years ensuing, from the first day of January last, upon the pains limited in the act'made for killing of calves, this proclaim, Lion notwithstanding. And his Highness he& ordained that if any butcher or other(s) selling by retail do sell any of • the kfilds of victual(s) aforesaid otherwise than by weight or at any Prices than is afore limited or refuse to sell ac- cording to this proclamation; then every butcher or other(s) so offending hall suffer loss and forfeit all such pains and penalties and also be ordered in all things as is contained and limited in the ;act made for the premises. This proclamation h any wise not istiting." • Which all goes to show that people living today perhaps are not quite as smart as some Of them *MA: they are! .a 1 O 0 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today—Expectation adds to the joy of living—except for people Who always expect the worst. • 0 0 0 .

Townshend —• (Archdeacon of Huron and Diocesan Commissioner.) F.dmonton, Alta. (Home address, London, Ontario) • ‘The Big Boss" By . R. J. Deachman, ex-M.P. for .North Huron I did not write this article, It came to me from an Ontario bus- iness man who is it keen student of .economic affairs, a man who knows that neither labor nor capital has the final word in the making of a prosperous nation. Back of both there is another — his orders are obeyed, he determines whether cap- ital or labor works or idles. Who .is the real master? You will meet .him, not for the first time, in the final paragraph of this story. • —41. j. D. "Those who know him call gum "The Big Boss". They say he is the largest employer in the country. Some go so far as to say he is the only em- ployer. He doesn't look much like a boss, as bosses go. He is big and tremendously strong, but he is un- gainly, easy going, not at all elert. Apparently he is not much interested in what his employees are doing. You never see him bossing them or throw- in e his weight around. "Perhaps that is why so many of his employees ignore him, they fail to realize that he is the real boss They organize for the purpose of holding 'him up, and expect hint to come across every time they do it He doesn't semi to resent this, he never fights back. He is of slow speech, and quite incapable of organ- izing any defence. In the end he has his own way. Despite apparent indifference, he functions with merit- ed efficiency. "On the other hand he is not at all sentimental in dealing with his em- ployees. He shays neither gratit- ude for faithful service nor resent- ment over past offences: Day after day he goes inbo. the market and hires the labor he wants. He is not moved by sympathy, no amount of pleading will change his mind. Your need is no concern of his. The problems of capital are not his headache. lie in- sists on treating labor as a commodity to he bought and paid for, with no further obligation on his part. Laws have been passed declaring that the worker has a vested right in his job and that the employer has a reePon- sibility for the future of his workers. To him these laws have no meaning. He ignores their existence, hires and fires at will. "Wise workers watch him closely, try to anticipate his wants, supply his needs. In that weythey keels themselves employed. Though his needs are infinite he has a wonderful capacity for doing without. That is the secret of his power. "He is the Consumer. He buys all the goods, meets all the payrolls. Without him there -would be no em- ployment, no wages. He is the one we seek to hold up when we demand more pay, ehorter hours.. Nothing can change him from his course. He does not wary about organized lab- or, He does not dread the power of the state. If we push our dementia too far he does without us, Our fate is in his hands. He is in the market places of the world.. The workers, the manufacturers, the distributors must bring their minds into harmony with the Consumbr, the Big Boss. Failure to do so means idle capital, unemployment and poverty.'
