We are now well into the se-
cond week of December and
Christmas is just around the
corner, S e e In s
like a month ago
that we were,
counting up the
sheckles and dl-
viding them
among the fa-
mily; only it
was a year ago
and now Christ-
mas is back again. This year the
sheckles wont go as far, and it
means that all of us will have to
spend our money wisely to come
out on top of the pile. However,
there are two gifts we can think of
that haven't gone up in price—and
they are gifts that most people,
young and old, appreciate. The old
reliables are books and records, and
we can add to that—theatre tickets.
If you have been lucky enough to
have a Saturday job at the local
store, you are all set. Farther down
the column, you will find a list of
records that we think will make
welcome gifts for the whole -family
Side -Saddle Bike—Tullio Lo
Monaco, of Milan, Italy, be-
ieves that a fellow should have
his girl at his side, even when .
bicycling. So he invented this
side-saddle bike, on which both
riders . pedal • but only one
steers.
and will probably meet your bud-
get. Well, so much for Christmas.
What's the Beef?
There are two very proud young
farmers in Ontario today. Why are
they so proud? Well, because the
steers they raised won top honors
over all other beef cattle at the
Royal Winter Fair.
The Grand Champion Aberdeen
Angus steer, judged "The Best in
the Show" of any breed in market
classes, was raised and exhibited
by Lloyd Mack of Maple Grove
Farms, Rockwood, Ontario. The
animal is really a beauty. Weigh-
ing 920 pounds of solid hamburg-
ers, he was bought by the T. Eaton
Co., and donated to the Christie
Street Hospital.
The other young chap, who re-
ceived the King's Guineas for his
winning Junior Champion Steer,
eves 18 -year-old Ken McKinnon of
Hillsburg, Ontario. Nice going, fel-
lows, and we hope your interest in
Ontario farming will continue. '
SUGGESTION ON WAX
Records that Mom will like—
Aye Maria, Concerto in A minor
with Arthur Rubenstien; Just For
Today, sung by John Charles
Thomas and the Warsaw Concerto,
with Leo Litwin at the piano with

linist, Yehudi Menuhin; Death and
Transfiguration by Stokowski and
the New York City Orch.; Sym-
phony No. 6 in B Minor with Sto-
kowski and the Hollywood Bowl
Orch.
That sister of yours will listen to

Finians Rainbow by Russe Case
and his Orch; Whiffenpoof Song
by Todd Galloway; The Sweet-
heart of Sigma Chi by Robert
Merrill and Grand Canyon Suite

phony Orchestra.
The kiddies will enjoy—the al-

mas, Dumbo, Peter and the Wolf,

On Christmas Day
Next week will see our last col-
umn before Christmas. On that
day, when the dinner is over and
things have quieted down a little,
you can turn to your radio for the
best day's listening pleasure of the
whole year. We will try..to give
you the latest . next week 'an ` the
programs for that day.
Sports — And ,Naas Thing
or Another'
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixbit Critic")
Old-time gamblers used to have
a variety of picturesque expressions
to describe a man who was excep-
tionally favoured by fortune. One
of the few printable ones was "He's
so lucky that if he fell in a sewer
he'd come up with his pockets full
of goldfish." Up to the last Sat-
urday in November we had never
considered ourself as belonging to
the class of those so favoured by
Fortune. But now — well, we're
not so certain.
There we were, right after lunch
that Saturday, all set for an after-
noon spent in our favourite pastime
— thinking of all the chores we
should be attending to, and not
doing a single one of them. The
East-West football final? What's
the sense of going out in that crisp
November air just to watch the
Argonauts go through the motions
of giving the Winnipeg Bombers a
football lesson. To Heck with it!
Argos are as good as wheat in the
bin, and we're not going to stir a
single foot. And then, itmust have
been Lady Luck herself who whis-
pered in our ear• and persuaded us
to go.
4: a
if we hadn't — Oh, brother, what
a grand succession` of thrills we
would have missed ! Whenever a
youthful sports fan waxes enthuse
iastic over sonic game he's seen
some -veteran is always around to
ice -water the ardor by saying, rather
patronizingly, "Yes — but you
should have been. there hack in the
old days when dear old \Vhoozis
tangled with Whatsitsnamc." We
have done more than our share of
that sort of thing ourselves. But
now we freely and pulilically take
it all back. For sustained drama
and excitement there never was
anything to touch that Argo - Bomb-
ers affair before, go as far back as
you like. We doubt very much if
there will he again. If you were
one of the 20 -thousand or so at
Varsity Stadium on Nov. 29th.
you'll be able to tell your great-
grandset: s that . "they ain't seed
nothin !" in a football way.

As to the rights and wrongs ,.,t
the proposed partitioning of Pales,
tine we have ;io opinion -- not
knowing enough about such compli-
cations to express one. But we will
hazard just one guess. After taking
a look at the map showing the way
they figure to carve up the territory
between the Jews and the Arabs,
we'd risk a small wager that — at
some time in his career — the man
responsible worked for a manufact-
ures of jig -saw puzzles of the
more complicated variety.
A lady carte all the way from
British Columbia to Toronto to ac-
cept a "world's championship" for
growing wheat, which she thought
was worth $2000.00. Turned out that
the Trophy, which is "hers" for one
year only, is quite valuable — but
that. the actual. cash. she. won
amounted to only twenty dollars.
A lot of people seen: to think that
the lady was rather harshly used.
TVe think she was very lucky — at
least they didn't, so far as we know,
ask her to pay her own admission
ticket to the show.
Are hockey players more suscept-
ible to friendly atmosphere and
'home -town' enthusiasm than other
professional athletes? That is a
rather interesting question, and you
can supply your own answer. Play-
ers on other National Hockey
League teams say that the Toronto
Maple Leafs are far harder to beat
on a Saturday' night — when they
know that the ears of all the great
coast-to-coast radio audience are
following their actions — than
they arc, et -en on home ice, in a mid-
week game, 13ut sonic of that sort
of comment may be put down to
professional jealousy.
But here's a rather peculiar angle.
Last year the Maple Leafs were the
best team in the loop — if not over
a whole season's play, at least when
the chips were down at the finish.
This year, on what they've shown
they look good enough to take the
League title and repent for the
Stanley Cup. And yet — and yet --
in their last 13 games in the city of
Boston, covering quite a long stretch
of time, they haven't been able to
come away with even a single vie.
tory. Must he that salt Boston air
or something!

STEPHEN .ARTHUR
OF ANCASTER, ONT.,
strokes quick, courageous rescue
A. big transport truck was just
beginning a night run to Wood-
stock. It was after midnight.
There was little traffic on the
roads.
SEES TWENTY FOOT FLAME
Suddenly, above the roar of his
engine, Stephen Arthur heard a
loud crash. 'Then, on rounding a
bend, he jammed on his brakes.
Piled up against a tree he saw the
broken wreckage of a car. Before
Arthur could stop his truck, a
sheet of flame leaped nearly
twenty feet from the wreck.
OCCUPANTS UNCONSCIOUS
By the time Arthur reached the
car it was blazing fiercely. The
gas -tank had blown up, spraying
the unconscious occupants with
blazing fuel. A wall of flame
confronted Arthur as he
wrenched open the driver's
door. Heedless of his own safety,
he reached into the fire, grabbed
the driver and pulled him clear.
On turningback he saw another
body in te flames. Again he
reached through the blazing
gasoline, and hauled the man
from the car. Shortly afterwards,
both men were rushed to hospital.
In spite of his efforts, Stephen
Arthur was unable to save the
life of a third victim. This in no
way lessens our admiration for
his courage in saving the lives of
two men. We are proud to pay
tribute to Stephen Arthur of
Ancaster, Ontario, through the
presentation of The Dow Award.
THE DOW AWARD is a
citation for outstanding hero,
ism and includes, as a tangible
expression of appreciation, a
$roo Canada Savings Bond.
Winners ate selected by the
Dow Award Committee, a
group of editors of leading
Canadian daily newspapers.
Flames were already leaping from the
wrecked coupe when Arthur raced
to the rescue of the unconscious
victims.
In spite of the intense heat caused by
the blazing gasoline, Arthur managed
to drag two men from the car. His
bravery undoubtedly saved their lives.
