• The final tinge in one of the most
colorful chapters in Canadian thorough-
bred racing will 'be written on June 11
when, for the last time, a Queen's Plate
race will be contested over the ancient
Woodbine track at Toronto, oldest of all
Canadian • Raee Courses.
It will be the 96th running of the oldest continuously -run
classic on the American continent, In actual quality of horse-
flesh this race doesn't pretend to measure up to the Epsom
Derby, or the Kentucky Derby, but it does possess something
which neither of those glamorous races can boast. For keen
sporting interest, for "neighbour vs. neighbour" rivalry, with
perhaps a score of notable Ontario and other Canadian stables
competing the event has no counterpart anywhere. It is a
gala day in Toronto, and has been for almost a century.
It was in 1859 that a Toronto turf club followed the ex-
ample set by sportsmen of Quebec 23 years before, and peti-
tioned Queen Victoria for a royal donation of 50 guineas for a
Queen's Plate "to be run at Toronto, or such other place in
Upper Canada, as Her Majesty might appoint,"
From that year to this, the reigning monarch has made
this donation.
•
Canadian racing history was made when the Ontario
Jockey Club enjoyed the signal honour of the presence of
King George VI with the Queen Mother for the 80th running
of the King's Plate,
The death of King George VI changed the name to
Queen's Plate again, and, as a lover of racing, who campaigns
a very successful stable, it was only natural that Queen Eliza-
beth II continued the donation. To the 50 guineas from Her
Majesty, the Ontario Jockey Club adds $15,000.
Quebec's Plate, started in 1836 in the reign of King
William IV, but not run continuously, has now vanished from
the scene, with harness racing replacing the runners. But
the Ontario Queen's Plate, while having its last running at
the famous old Woodbine track, will be continued on another
course and its sporting rivalry will continue to flourish in
years to come.

The King of Jordan has mar-

!please the romantic of both
sexes, particularly those of the
feminine persuasion who still
dream about the prince in the.
/airy tale.
This nice girl is well edu-
cated. In fact, she is a college
graduate with degrees to letter
after her name, and was once
a schoolteacher. This will satisfy
a good Many men who think
wives should be sensible and, on
the other hand, will encourage
;just as many unmarried girls
who have moments of wondering
whether their educational at-
tainments are frightening the
nen away.
But a real shock is in store for.
Americans of both sexes when
they learn that no women—not
even the bride—were present at
the wedding (a Moslem custom).
This is the world turned up-
side down! For any woman

Thoughts honestly, that weddings
are planned around women
alone. Every father of the bride
bas learned that his sole func-
tion is to furnish a somber foil
for his daughter's splendor as
she floats down the aisle on his
arm, And every groom has
learned that his presence at the
festival is tolerated only to
ziatisfy the reguirements of law,
custom, and the ritual.
As a mere man might observe
among his kind: Maybe "they
have something there."

Perilous Job
When steeplejack Peter Jek-
ubs slipped recently from a 100 -
ft. tower on which he was work-
ing at Baltimore, he caught his
leg in a rope and hung head
down for sixty-five minutes.
Firemen rushed to his aid
with their tallest ladder, The
coolheaded steeplejack chatted
cheerfully to them as they
climbed to him. But just as they
were putting a safety -belt round
his waist the rope suddenly
snapped, and he spun 100 ft. to
the ground, suffering multiple •
injuries but escaping death,
In spite of the most modern
safety precautions, the steeple-
jack's job remains one of the
most perilous in the world. Most
ref the men are the sons' and
grandsons of steeplejacks and
seem to have no sense of fear.
To be successful, a steeple-
jack must have fingers and mus-
cles of steel, and no nerves to
speak of. Mr. Will Larkins,
member of a famous family of
them, once nearly fell from the
top of the Nelson Column in
Trafalgar Square, owing to his
feet slipping on an inch -thick
layer of greasy soot with which
the platform supporting the
statue was covered.
He only managed to save him-
self — he was lying on his back
at the time by using his el-
bows as brakes.
Lightning once damaged the
steeple of a church in Derby-
shire. The vicar and church-
wardens were so grateful to a
local steeplejack when he had
finished repairing it that they
presented him with a new suit
of clothes in addition to his fee,
Celebrating his success that
night, the steeplejack declared
that in the morning he would
don the new clothes on top of
the spire. A great crowd watch-
ed him stand on a tiny scaffold
and loop a rope over one arm of
the cross. Then he climbed on
to it, and nut on the presenta-
tion suit, throwing each discard-
ed garment into the air.
Suddenly he clasped his arms
frantically round the cross. The
rope he neded to regain the
ground had slipped and lay on
the platform a dozen feet below.
The crowd gasped with horror.
Then somebody remembered
the steeplejacks' daughter a
pretty eighteen -year-old "steeple-
jill She was found, and her
fair hair fluttering in the breeze,
she climbed higher and higher
until at last she reached the
platform. She had never moun-
ted so high before.
After three attempts she man-
aged to throw up the rope to
him -- and so saved his life.
"Tell me—who was braver
than Lancelot, wiser than Solo-
mon, more honest than Lincoln,
and more handsome than Apol-
lo?at,
"1 didn't know you knew my
wife's first husband."

aniewantaiporialmAndir
After several weeks of stub-
born and intricate negotiations,
the annual review of the gener-
al economic condition and pros-
pects of the agricultural in-
dustry in Britain resulted in a
settlement which has subse-
quently been endorsed by the
executive bodies of the three
Farmers Unions of the United
Kingdom. By common consent
the award has been adjudged
fair and its disposition between
minimum price guarantees and
production grants commended as
the best practicalcontribution
to the balance of the production
pattern.
A Clear Case
Agriculture's case was clear
and straightforward enough —
substantial rises in costs de-
veloping during a trend of gen-
eral inflation in other industries
while the national agricultural
income was falling.
Between 1948 and 1951 the
rise in output and efficiency en-
abled the industry to absorb a
substantial part of the increased
costs of production, whilst still
sustaining increases in the ag-
gregate net income. More re-
cent attempts by the govern-
ment to pursue the same policy
have overstepped the margin of
resilience in the industry, with a
consequent drop in income dur-
ing the year of £40 million. Ag-
riculture was therefore in no
position to absorb additional
costs, and in relation to the
general picture of industrial
prosperity there was no reason .
why it should.
The government's case, though
equally clear, nevertheless calls
for examination. The reappear-
ance of a marked deterioration
in the balance of payments po-
sition should have been common
ground, for just as three years
ago it was officially calculated
that British agriculture saved
the country £400 million an-
nually on imported food, so any
excessive consumption of im-
ported feeding stuffs by the in-
dustry ,would adversely affect
the national economy. To meet
this, greater encouragementwas
applied to home-grown feeding •
-
stuffs and a check administered
to the expansion of hog produc-
tion.
Price Guarantees
The real difficulty in the ne-
gotiations ---- the size of the
Exchequer commitment and the
SE ..
taxpayer's liability — stems from
the; government's own deliber-
ate` policy decision to use price
guarantees as the form of pro-
tection for the farming industry
in free markets. Mr. Butler be-
lieves -that this is the right
choice for the country and,
within the provisions of GATT,
it may well be the only effec-
tive means of maintaining a
healthy and expanding home
agriculture.
The unions did not contest this
principle, although they will
study most diiligently its opera-
tion in practice. They are, more-
over, just as aware as anyone
else that unrestricted imports
tan make nonsense of the most
efficient marketing system as
far as prices are concerned, and
they are equally aware that the
market return is as unpredict-
able as the ultimate extent .of
Exchequer liability. It must be
recognized that this uncertainty
is inseparable from the free
marketing system.
This was the crux of the re-
view, the inevitability in this
combination of circumstances of
some extension of Exchequer
liability and the desirability, ac-
cepted by both sides, of con-
taining the increase within as
narrow limits as possible. The
fact that in the end this was
achieved with equity is a tri-
bute to the understanding and
realism of both side$.
