Vincent Woodbury Recalls the Olympic Stadium and â€" Its Inscriptions. To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins. Hitler Wanted to Cheat Even at the : Olympic Games Dear Sir: This letter is written one day after the groups of the Canadian and Amâ€" erican army had entered Beérlin. It also marks the second invasion of an American army into Berlin, that of the 1936 Olympic team,. They came as conquerors too. The names of the winâ€" ners were chiselled into the â€"concretse walls of the Reichsportfeld, where they were to endure until the end of time as imperishable memorials of athletic greatness. But fame is fleeting. So are man‘s ‘imperishable memorials‘", ‘That once Olympic Stadium is now a mass of rubble and a monument only to the folly of the man who ordered it built, Adolph Hitler. Somewheéere in its ruins are the fragments of the that bore in three places the name of Jesse Owens. One line read, "100m Laufâ€" Owens, US.A." His name was also Oopâ€" psoite "200m Lauf" and the third placâ€" ed alongside the word "Weitsprung", or broad jump. Arthur Daley told me some time ago of this sporting event. He said it was entertaining to hear the fancy proâ€" nunciation of the German announcer. He‘d say, "Ohâ€"wans", and then he always added something that sounded like this, ‘oo ess ah", for US.A. The negro Owens was the star of the show. The United States won eleven track and field crowns while the rest of the world split the other nine. Hitler‘s picn was to shake the hand of every Olympic champion, and he liked the idea mighty fine when Hans Woelke of Germany led off with the winning shotâ€"put, and Limari Salminâ€" en of Finland captured .the 10,000â€" metre run. But whén the next winner, that gangling Cornelius Johnson of the United States won the high jump it was just too much for the leader of supermen. He took it on the lam. of supermen. He took it on the lam. He wilted in the stretch. He quit in the heat. Thusâ€"ended his hand shakâ€" ing: But that was not enough, noâ€" not for Hitler‘s type. When Owens beat Lutz Longâ€"a big blond Aryanâ€" in the broad jump Der Fuehrer flashed word down» the track that he wanted to shake hands with the "real" winâ€" ner, Herr Long, But wait a moment, I‘ll come back to that, Let‘s get the preliminary .details in the meantime. T on ns oLE _ P «o The broad jump proved fantastic affair, and made so by the gGerman officials. FEach athlete was permitted three qualifying leaps, just aS they are today. Now Owens gqelayed by a 200 metre heat arrived late and, still in his pullovers, tested the runway in a warmâ€"up by running through . the pitâ€"that is still the ruleâ€"he didn‘t 'even jump. Yet a Nazi official waved a red flag for a foul. This now began to look suspicious. However, Owens, full of confidence, went back for his next jump and cleared it with a foot Ito spare. But again the red flag waved. Owens was just one try away from being eliminated entirely. So the Buckâ€" eye Bullet took no chances, In the last effort he gave himself another extra foot leeway and there was no recourse except to qualify him. Now we reach the finals in this broad jump. Owens got off a great leap of 25 feet 9 13â€"16 inches. Then 'Iâ€"Ierr Long roared down the runway and off into space. Lager GermanSs hurried to measure his imprint on the sawdust pit, quickly brushed out the marks, and then brazenly announced thst the German Long also had done that the German Long also had done exactly 25 feet 9 13â€"16 inches. It was not even a good lie., It was an outrage. It was a Nazi cheat through and through. Owens, standing by the pit and witness to the leap of Herr Long, Eo 1 _ M L es mes . otAGe iyin _ NU â€" _# / â€" MAVIQ_ VA A VAIVAL *J _ * CC VÂ¥ CHAA pit; â€"he got hlSlonne crepe with orchid accessories flufo:therun,andhecamedownand that runway as though an airplane |swee propelier was attached to him. He Th soared into the air like a rocket. He wedd even seemed to float for definite secâ€" | trave onds in space, and then slowly glided suit to earth and landed in a half squat. ‘ _ Th One of the memorable episodes of the |onto h. " L In years to come it is not impossible that searching in. that mass of conâ€" fusion that once represented the magâ€" nificent Olympic Stadium, the curious may find carefully chiseled walls which bore the list of championsâ€"YyeS, even raise their eyes as they read "100m Lautâ€"Owens, U.S.A." "200m Laufâ€" Oowens, US.A." "Weitsprungâ€"Owens, record of 26 feet 5 5â€"16 inches. The Negro waited for Herr Long to comâ€" plete his three jumps, but his effort was merely perfunctoryâ€"just a shot towards the impossible. Howeverâ€"not soâ€"Adoliph Hitler, angered and arroâ€" gant, sent word he wished to shake hands with the "real" winner Herr Lutz Long. And thereâ€"said Daléyâ€" was Der Fuehrer pacing impatiently in his Tribune of Honour with all the gestures of Caesar awaiting Herr Long. However, this Herr Long waSs chamâ€" pion in his own behalf, for he kept Hilter cooling his hot heels while slowly walked down the track towards the Tribune of Honour with his arm affectionately around Owens. Which proves what? Perhaps a companionâ€" able spirit. Perhaps the feeling for one true man for another, but it certainly proves the theory that sports are more democratic than politics. # @0 % _ tvn_é;t-an'd'of above all a new Olympic U.S.A." Banks Deserve Toronto, July 5â€""Starting sometime this month the banks, through their branches all over Canada, are called upon to preform still another service 6 | . Coâ€"operation in Case of Family Allowance Cheques i Th «> ns to the public. They must and will be ready to negotiate the new governâ€" ment cheques issued under the Family Allowances legislation," said S. M. Wedd, President of the Canadian Bankers‘ Association, in a statement issued here. "Official estimate that 1,466,000 inâ€" dividual cheques will be issued by the government each month," he continâ€" ued. "Most of these cheques will be presented at the branch banks for encashment or deposit. "All government cheques a by the banks without charge. P t ols TN n m wl $ 5004 Te "The banks willingly accept this added opportunity for serving Canadâ€" ians many of whom, perhaps, for the first time, will come in contact with the ‘<banks and with the uséeful serâ€" vices they perform. ‘ "We shall welcome all of these peoâ€" ple and aim to cash Family Allowance cheques with speed and efficiency. At the same time it is my duty to express the need of the banks for coâ€"operation on the part of all who receive these cheques, "Recipients . of Family Allowance cheques can help themselves and the banks by remembering four simple reâ€" quirements: K 1. The need for proper identification at the bank, 2. The need to make sure that cheque bank in the morning NOUrS I1L QuUsâ€" sible. "First of ‘all, of course, is identificaâ€" tionâ€"a bank must be sure that the person presenting the cheque is the right person; therefore, if the holder of a Family Allowance cheque is not known at the local bank, he or she should take into the bank when preâ€" senting it somebody who is known in the branch,. This will help to obviate delay apd misunderstanding. "Next, is the endorsement on A chequeâ€"it must be endorsed exactly as it is made out to the payee; after it is endorsed the payee should take no chances of losing it or having it stolen before it is cashed, "Recipients can help very greatly also by using the banks during the easâ€" ier hours of the day rather than their busiest hours. EB it UE "No doubt many chéques will reach the banks through merchants who cash them for their own known customers. Merchants and storekeepers would be well advised to make sure of the idenâ€" tification of any person offering a cheque and to make sure also that the cheque is endorsed exactly as it« is made out."

Ave. Serious Loss of Overseas Mail by Inflammables Sent The following memorandum from the Deputy Postmasterâ€"General at Ottawa should be read carefully and the lesson it suggests should be taken to heart by all concerned. It will bel seen that it tells of a fire that occaâ€" sioned such a loss of mail as to be a veritable heartbreaker. A moment‘s ‘thought will suggest what a terrible thing such a fire may be. The monetary loss is a serious one, but not to be compared to the disapâ€" paintment and sorrow through all this matter being déstroyed. Whil: it is not definitely stated that the loss is due to the sending of matches and other inflammables through the mails it is very certain that such use of the mailq could very easily cause such a tragedy. There has been for months and months a campaign begging p°â€" ople not to put inflammables in the mail, for the enclosgure of such articlâ€". es in the mails tempts to such disasâ€"| ters as this one. The Advance would ask all who send parcels oversers to read this article very carefully, unâ€" derstand the full tragedy in fire as this, and then resolve that never through any carelessness or thoughtlessness of theirs should a similar disaster be â€" made possible. ‘There is neither sense nor excuse in taking a chance like this in sending inflammable materials by mail. The memorandum makes it clear that thne practice of sending matches and lighter fluid by mail has not been discontinued, though in every possible way the Post Office Department has made it very plain that no inflammâ€" ables should be sent by mail overseas | Rire on Boat Docked at Liverpool Caused Heavy Loss of Mail Matter tawa :â€" A few weeks ago the Post Office Department announced a fire breakâ€" ing out on the S.S. Scythia as it dockâ€" ed at Liverpool, England, conta.ning a heavy Jload of mail.

So with your bank. It is a business proposition just as much as the grocery store. The grocer deals in groceries. .. the banker deals in credit. And as the making of loans is one of the prinâ€" cipal ways by which his bank derives its revenue, he is as anxious seas and Of this quantity some 4,000 bags were damaged, either by fire or water. 4 Amongst the debris from the burnâ€" ed ‘ parcels were found quantitlee of matches, lighter fluid and canned heat, mailed by people who had igâ€" nored the warnings of the Post Ofâ€" nored the warnings of the Post Ofâ€" fice Department against mailing matâ€" ches or inflammables in soldiers‘ parâ€" The Postal Corps overseas has made every effort to forward to th* addressees; such parcels as were in a fit condition but thousands of parcels were destroyed, others were saturated or damaged to the extent that it was impossible â€" to decipher either the name of the sender or the addressee. A total of 1,460 bags were unacâ€" counted for. and as a result of the disâ€" aster approximately 54 tons of debris were absolutely uesless and were disâ€" posed of by incineration. Certain arâ€" ticles of personal or intrinsic value which it is possible to salvage are being returned to the Dead Letter Ofâ€" fice, Ottawa, an dwill be returned to the senders in case the expected enâ€" quiries enable ownership to be deâ€" termined. Salvaged also were some 500 bags of: canned goods, bottled goods, toilet articles and soap which have been despatched "to the Auxiliary Services Branch of the Canadian Army for distribution amongst members of the Armed Forces. There were also varâ€" jous items; of clothingâ€" pyjamas, unâ€" derwear, shirts, socks, etc;â€" _ and these have been sent to the Auxillary Services Branch of the Canadian Army for distribution to soldiers who lost their kit who are in hospital or in need of such supplies. Actual origin of the fire was not determined but the fact that matches and â€" other inflammable items were found in the debris should constitute a further severe warning to the Caâ€" nadian public. Jewish Community at South Porcupine Honour Miss Shaw On Friday evening of last week Miss B. M. C. Shaw was guest of honour at the home of Mrs, S. Sky.
