Streamliner Locomotive Nearing Completion at GM Plant -It weighs nearly 125 tons, but this
Isearly finished FP7A (freight -passenger) locomotive is hoisted and moved easily by one of the
giant cranes at the multi-million dollar plant of General Motors Diesel, Limited, at London,
Ont., which was officially opened on August -11,. The big, modern plant is geared to manufacture
one locomotive per day. Sixt types,• ranging from 600 to 1,500 horsepiwer, will be built,
4Y /a SIXBLTC'l IC
Along about the end of Septem-
ber -and already the' entire sports
world is fairly agog with apathy -
the lads are threatening to stage a
meeting between a fat. flabby old
man and a character who would
find it quite a chore to punch his
way out of a bread -wrapper. What
is more, they are going to bill this
Battle of the Stenchery as being for
the Heavyweight Championship of
the World.
*
We refer, of course to the pro -
pawl foot -race between Joe Louis
and Ezzard Charles, which will de-
cide whether Mr Clharies can back-
pedal around a rope -girt square of
canvas for fifteen rounds faster than
Mr Louis can go forward.
Personally, we can hardly wait -
wait, that is, to find out if the sharp
ballyhoo boys will be able to smoke
up this sorry -appearing affair into
a money -slaking enterprise. And
with all due respect to the genius
of the modern publicity expert, we
have our doubts that they can put
this one over. Sports dollars aren't
as pientiful, and don't glide so
smoothly out of clutching paints,
as they did a year or so ago. And
unless- the brawl over Korea -way
is settled by fight -time -which
looks improbable at this writing -
the fans will have something more
serious to think about than a Louis -
Charles affair.
* * :k
When we describe Joe Louis as
fat, flabby and old, we are naturally
speaking of hint from a pugilistic
standpoint. And Ezzard Charles,
despite our slurs, may be a very
estimable gentleman; and his punch,
JOE LOUIS
which we refer to in such a deroga-
tory :tanner, isn't one that we
would choose to view from the re-
ceiving end. But for all that, the
match entirely fails to rouse either
enthusiasts or expectation in even
The veriest sucker's breast; and if it
is true that Louis is only going
through with it because he is in
hock to Uncle Whiskers, all we
can do is paraphrase a famous crack
and say, "0 Id, Income Taxes,
what crimes are committed in thy
name 11"
k * k
In conclusion, it is our sincere
hope that after this one is over Joe
Louis -for whom we have always
had the highest admiration both as
a fighter and as a man -won't pub -
Hely promise his Mother' or any-
body else, than this is his final fight,
Unwelcome Guest -Ginger, a homeless dog being sheltered by
the Animal Rescue League, barks at a new guest, a 30 -inch -long
alligator abandoned by a small boy. Officials are hoping that
the alligator will be claimed by its. owner soon as its diet
consists of hard -to -get items and it slakes the other animals,
like Ginger, nervous.
He's pulled that one too often for
it to be touching any more. So
often, in fact, that we are reminded
of the very ancient one about the
customer who brought back to a
clothing merchant a suit purchased
a couple of days before.
* * *
"One little sprinkle of rain, and
the pants shrink right up to above
my knees," said the angry customer.
"Didn't you give she your solemn
word that this suit was guaranteed
one hundred per cent all -wool when
I bought it?"
* *
"Sure thing I did," replied the
merchant saintly. "But I didn't say
"POSITIVELY" did I?"
k
*
So, for the sake of Itis millions of
fans and followers, when this one
is over Joe Louis won't forget to
say "POSITIVELY," the trust,
Now They're Saying
Bagpipes Not Scottish
Over the hills from Braemar
comes the skirl of the pipes for
Scotlands annual Highland Games,
and a sales boom begins in a minor
British industry that thrives all
the year round. It's a bagpipes
boom
Down Renfrew Street, Glasgow,
and off the High Street of Lon-
don's Camden Town, the sporran
and pipe workshops are putting
on a spurt to keep pace with ex-
port orders. Britain has already
sold so many set to the U.S., Can-
ada, South Africa and Australia
that you'll find store bagpipes there
than in Scotland.
Hoots, in fact, the bagpipes are
no longer Scottish . and they
never were. Even the sheepskin
bags are English or imported Aus-
tralian. The hard black wood of
blowpipe and drones may be called
"Scottish -ebony'," but it's either
blackwood front West Africa or
cocuswood from West Indies, The
real ivory mountings conte from
the Congo, the imitation ivory are
mainly Welsh!
Even the silk clan ribbon conies
from France. And though the tar-
tan that covers the bag may be
Scottish, it's usually backed with
Yorkshire flannelettell 1
So what, Scots? Ever since Rus-
sian seal became fashionable for
sporrans historians have been dis-
persing a little more of the great
Scottish legend. A drone -pipe with
reed complete has been found in
an ancient mummy -case. The Per-
sians and ancient Greeks had pipes,
and the Roptans introduced them
into southern England before they
spread to Ireland and Caledonia.
Traditional models crop up in
Prance, Germany, Italy, Spain and
the Balkans, not to mention Mala-
ya. Chaucer's'merry miller led the
Canterbury Pilgrims with the bag-
pipes, though maybe he didn't play
a Pibroch. Shakespeare mentions
the pipes and they were English
then.
But scholars say they're in the
Bible and that they were Baby-
lonian, Even the famous Scots
Guards are playing English -made
pipes today. It's shocking to Scots-
men, everywhere, but it's true!

From fee and near, the world
around, eolues the cry for more,
better, and cheaper fertilizers, In.
order to feed the rapidly soaring
world population the need for fer-
tilizers necessary for increased food
production has risen by some sixty
per cent since 1939.
* * .
Yet -largely because of whole-
sale destruction of fertilizer plants
in Europe and dsewlhere during
World War II -it has been esti-
mated that today only around
eighty per cent of the pre-war '
amount is being produced
The ironical tiling i5 that all the_
fertilizer we need is contained in
the atmosphere -if only it could be
persuades] to work, This element is
nitrogen, a million tons of which
press down on every seven acres of
land and sea over the whole surface
of the earth.
:k k *
Nitrogen is esesential 'to life,
Four-fiths of the air we breathe
consists of it. And iso :natter how
many other elements a man may
consume through eating and drinlca
Mg, if his diet does not contain
nitrogen the will surely die,
:k * *
Although the supply of nitrogen
in the air is practically unlimited,
in the form in which it exists it is
useless to living creatures. It must
be made available in the form of
compounds. and we can produce
these compouhds only with great
difficulty and at great expense.
* *
Nature, however, performs the
feat with her usual efficiency, Plants
like the clover, pea, or bean, in
partnership with tiny nitrogen -fix-
ing bacteria in the soil, are able to
take nitrogen from the air for her
own use and to leave part of it
stored up in the soil for plants
of another season.
* * *
Other plants have to take their
nitrogen front the soil in the form
of salts called nitrates. The bacteria
that help the clover, peas and beans
to produce this nitrate form little
nodules on the roofs, and these
nodules swarm with the useful bac-
teria. They can be seen on the roofs
of the red clover.
=k * *
To provide his soil with part of
the "fixed" nitrogen needed for his
crops, the farmer ]las only to
plough in his peas, clover or beans.
But this, unfortunately, does not
provide enough nitrogen to cope
with the intensive farming of
modern tines,
* * *
There is no doubt that when ni-
trogen is forced to work for its
living it almost achieves miracles.
An official comparison between two
equal areas of grassland' one with
nitrogenous fertilizer and the other
without, showed that the yield of
the first exceeded the second by
75 per cent
* * *
But what the world badly needs
is some permanent device for trans-
forming the nitrogen in the atmos-
phere into material crop fertilizer.
When that is done on a big enough
scale, many of our food problems
are likely to be solved.
* * *
So here's a chance for some
reader of this column to win ]him-
self -or herself -fame and fortune
in wholesale quantities. Just invent
some cheap and practical gadget
that will reach up into the atmos-
phere and pall down that essential
element for free. Ilow to go about
it? Well, you'd better ask somebody
else regarding that, for if I knew
-do you think I'd be putting to-
gether columns like this for a
living?
Lord, grant that I may always
desire more than I can accomplish,
-Michelangelo.
