The Seaforth News, 1962-06-07, Page 700 Drive Goalie Me The Net! At what speed does a tennis ball travel when a top Lennie player smashes it over the net? Between 120 and 130 miles an hour, reports it sports statistician. It you doubt that, remember that the great American player. William T, ("Big Bill") Tilden Once reached 150 m.p.h., uccordr Mg to sports writers, in striking t ball, Tris "cannonball" service Yea a sensation. Table tennis? It's reckoned !hat the greatest speed at which. t table tennis ball can travel is (bout 50 miles an hour. Cricket? Estimates vary, but, tt his best, Harold Larwood, Nottinghamshire and England East bowler, howled at a speed of not less than 90 m.p.h, His bowling was sometimes driven to theboundary by the great Don Bradman at 120 m.p,h, Yet some people say cricket is a slow game! What about soccer? It has been calculated that the fastest pen- alty kicker rarely exceeds a speed of 35 m.p,h, It's on record that one amazingly swift penalty kick caused the ball to travel at aearly 40 m.p.h. The goalkeeper, a little chap who took size four h boots, tes- tified to this. Not only did he fail to get his hands to it, but the Impact of the ball against his body was so great that goalkeep- sr and ball landed at the back of the net. Great ball speeds are achieved In golf, During a test in England a special high-speed camera re- corded a velocity of 280 feet a second, or more than 190 miles an hour. The golfer Gene Sar- azen once matched his driving speed on a_ United States course against that of a high-powered ,aeing oar. A special camera disclosed that his club -head was travelling at 118 m.p.h. at the moment of im- pact, while the ball's speed was 132 m.p.h. Another golfer, Alex Endie, was filmed by a newsreel cam- eraman when he drove a golf ball clean through a 1,000 -page tele- phone directory. The directory was placed four feet in front of the tee and Endie drove with all his might. The ball not only passed through the book but kept going for nearly 100 yards. What would you estimate es the speed of a billiards ball? One which was struck by a hard hitter during a test at a London club some years ago achieved 22 m.p.h. Even Machines Make Mistakes! An editorial on this page a short time ago voiced the dis- pleasure of a consumer at find- ing a cereal box only about. half .filled on first opening. This teemed a rather extreme case of a practice some consumer spokes- men had protested — namely, reducing the content of a stand- ard kacpage as a subtle way of raising the price, However, a grocer to whom this was mentioned had another explanation. Just once in a while, he said, a package comes through which for some reason aid not get its full ration from the filling machine, maybe a break between batches or some- thing like that. Anyway, he took down a box of the same brand of cereal and, sure enough, it had a good "heft" and proved to be completely filled without room even for a silverware coupon. It is good to find that the lightweight item represented chance, not podioy. Just goes to show that machines these days can do almost everything that humans can — even make mis- takes.—from the Christian Sci- ence Monitor Q. How can I keep that hard - to -remove substance from gath- ering on the sides of my pan when boiling sweet potatoes? A. A half -teaspoon of bacon drippings or other grease, added to the water in which sweet po- tatoes or other root vegetables are boiled will do the trick.

Show was taped in Madison Squure Garden. In Defense Of A Much -Slandered Man Munich is one of history's dirt - lest words, and in the public mind a large part of the soilure has rubbed off on the reputation of the late Neville Chamberlain. He is the trembling old boy with the umbrella, the queasy prince of appeasement. But now a power- ful defense of Chamberlain it entered by no less a figure than Iain Macleod, 48, Conservative Party leader of the House of Commons, former Minister of Health and of Labor, former Col. oniai Secretary, and widely re- garded as heir apparent to ?rime Minister Harold Macmillan. The book, "Neville Chamberlain" by Iain Macleod is bound to stir up ancient controversiesonce more. Macleod is not defending the Munich pact, nor talking polities; he is arguing, with great force, that Neville Chamberlain's part was the action not of a weakling but of a brave, honorable, deter- mined man who hated war and Hitler, who passionately desired peace and genuinely felt that he was acting for the peace of Eu- rope. And Macleod has great students of the situation on his side, Most eloquently, he has Winston Churchill, whose vale- dictory in the House of Commons for Chamberlain, after his death by cancer in 1940, is one of the most moving of all the Churchil- lian utterances. The major part of the book ex- hibits Chamberlain's character through an account of his career. He was the son of the famous Birmingham industrialist a n d Liberal statesman Joseph Cham- berlain. Neville's mother died when he was a child, but he grew up in a warm relationship with his older half-brother Austen, his sisters, and a family teeming with cousins. All his life he found his chief pleasures in family affec- tion, music, and, in later days, fishing. A tremendous worker, he became a great civic figure and public -minded Lord Mayor of Birmingham, devoted to its uni- versity, hospitals, orchestra, sav- ings aw ings banks, industrial relations, labor conditions, town planning. He did not marry until he was 42, and his union with the much younger Anne Cole was idyllic. Chamberlain went on to great- ly admired national services as Minister of Health and Chancel- lor of the Exchequer; he was a famously industrious and reliable servant of the state. As early as 1934, in a nation swept with pa- cificst sentiments, he was ex- pressing his hatred of Nazism and eagerness for British rearma- ment, In 1936 he declared: "I am horrified by the German behavior to the Jews." In 1937 he rose to the Prime Ministership, and Win- ston Churchill saluted' his prev- ious efforts for rearmament. At length there was Munich (the full pact is quoted in the book). Macleod observes that "Chamberlain must certainly bear the chief responsibility for the policy of appeasement." But there was not much talk about appeasement until the world, as well as Neville Chamberlain, had been made to realize the black faithlessness and maniac ambi- tion of Adolf Hitler. It has gen- erally been forgotten how wildly jubilant British crowds and the House of Commons cheered' Nev- ille Chamberlain on his return from Munich, Later on, the hindsighters had their chance, and Chamberlain was smeared as few earnest statesmen have been smeared. But he remained in high honor among those who were close, even though opposed, to him, In those crisis hours of 1940, Winston Churchill rose in the House of Commons and said, in part; "It fell to Neville Chamberlain in one of the supreme crises of the world to be contradicted by events, to be disappointed in his hopes, and to be deceived and cheated by a wicked man, But what were these hopes in which he was disappointed? . They were surely among the most noble and benevolent instincts of the human heart — the love of peace, the toil for peace, the strife for peace • , . even at great peril and certainly to the utter disdain of popularity or clamor . ."— From NEWSWEEle, Mountain Garden With Little Water It is now seven in the evening and Mariano has just returned from the wheat field with his sons. Would I like to accompany • hirn up the mountainside, he asks, for there are some plants there that need tending. In a corner of his house he finds his hoe, and we walk out into the village street. The torrid heat of day has given way to a cozy warmth that is accentuated by the reddish, setting sun. Almost at once we are walk- ing uphill; soon, the gray, gran- ite homes of La Celilla are be- hind us. The path up the moun- tainside is narrow and twisting, at first running along small fields separated by stone fences. Then there is nothing but boul- ders, scraggly weeds, and brush. Through the thick soles of my. shoes I can feel every pebble, and I sometimes slip on the loose stones. But Mariano, almost 60 years old, walks with strong, sure-footed steps. As we climb higher I can see most of the vil- lage below us, the corrugated roofs sharply etched by the low We are quite high now, and my eye travels for miles over the level Castilian plain where only the dim, torn edge of the Grader- ros Mountains breaks the hori- zon. We have been climbing steadily for almost half an hour, yet all I can see up ahead is a rocky mountain too desolate to grew anything. Where is Ma- riano going, I wonder. Finally we arrive at a small reservoir where the drippings of a mountain spring have been captured by a dam of rocks and earth. "Little water," he tells me. "There has been almost no rain this year. In the past it was much better, We grew many string beans then." Dipping hit hand deep in the water, he scoops out the plug of mud and stone, allowing the trapped waf- ter to gurgle into a carved trough. In a series of four tiny waterfalls it tumbles downhill among the boulders. U.S.-U.S.S.R.

The old man works quickly with his hoe, clearing twigs and dirt from the . furrows so that the water can move 'Freely and perhaps bring some life to the plants. Soon the flow stops .. . there is just enough to allow a little moisture to reach the last plant, but not as much as is needed. "There was tittle water this hear," he mumbles half aloud. "Very small potatoes and few beans. It is a difficult thing." He dams the mountain spring again, and we walk down to the town.
