TOO LATE Absolutely nothing escapes ehangel Even the lettering on those doors that started owt simply as Men" and "Women" -- later be- eame a bit high-hat as "Gentlemen" 'and "Ladies". Then in the night clubs they bsoke out with "King" and "Queen" - ""His" and "Her" -- "Soprano" md "Bass" -- etc. A mew night club in the modern Spanish design, extended its Span- toh influence to the wording on these two doors. A worried looking Dininess men vom the West hurried to the man- ager and asked directions. "Why, my friend, don't you know ¥he Spanish word 'Hombre'?" asked ¥he manager -- indicating with a wod of his head. "No, 1 don't!" snapped the wor- vled man, "and let me tell you this #0 3 heck of a time to be giving me a Soanist lesson!"

ORT hy 2 SixBIT CRI We never had Joe Bouis pegged as a very deep thinker. Still, we may be mistaken, at that. The sculptor Rodin once did a piece of statuary entitled "The Thinker" which won world-wide acclaim and which sent generations of art- lovers into conniption fits; yet, to our untutored mind the gent in the statue looked as though he never machine-gun-like fire of hard, bat- harbored a thought deeper than tering fists. wondering whether to have his * * breakfast eggs scrambled or fried sunny-side-up. So we giess you 1C Schmeling took two or three lefts to the head -- fairly stiff punches, but not really dangerous. Then Maxie threw his Sunday punch-- the right aimed for the jaw. It missed.

Maxie Schmeling had been made to eat the words which -- swollen with Hitlerian pride -- he had been foolish enough to utter. And that may have been the occa- sion Joe Louis was recalling as--to get back to our opening text--he contemplated the picture of the likes of Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott fighting for the throne he bind vacated. From then on, it wasn't much of a fight. Everybody but Braddock knew that it was only a matter of time--but Jimmy's stark eourage earried him through the' storm which reged all through the fifth, sixth and seventh wntll -- in the eighth--a right-hand smash proved too much for even gameness.

A rather uncommunicative fellow settled out in Alberta a few years ago. He lived by himself and cur- ious, neighbours were not able to much information about him. inally one of them stopped him at the village store, asked how the recent comer liked farming. : "All right, I guess." "Making any money?" "Guess so. Bought a hog in the winter for $15," Sold him in. the spring for $32.50. Of course, it cost me around 20 bucks to feed him." "Then you lost on the deal?" "Well, not exactly, You see I had the company of the hog for half a year." Seluieling Hoored Nor with a right the jaw in the fourth, and altho the knockout didn't come ungil the twelfth, that was the punch which did the damage. Joe Louis had made the mistake of not training properly for Maxie. But the German also made a mistake, Instead 'of letting . well enough alone, he returned to his nati country shooting off his mout about the superiority of the "Mas- ter race" over inferior folks such as colored people.

For ever since Schmel- ing's remarks about Master races and inferior peoples had come to his ears, Louis had been waiting for a chande to Jet even. The fight started off as though it was going to be one of those slow, sleepy affairs. For the first minute of the opening round there was nothing but ecattious feinting and feeling-out, Then, all of a sud den, all Hades busted loose. A man rushed into a drug store and asked the pharmacist what to « do to stop hiccups. His answer was a slap: in the face Shocked and angry, the man de- manded an explanation for such action, ¥ "Well," replied the pharmacist, grinning, "you haven't any hiccups now, have you?" . : "No," replied the angry one "but my wife, out in the car, still has them" : GREAT BRITAIN Britain's moet important manu- facture today -- according to one American correspondent -- seems to be good news, It continues to churn out such items in surprising quantity and variety, he says, and cites the following examples. There were more jobs in Britain and more people in them during June -- 89,000 more -- than there had been in May. There were fewer men and women out of work -- 20,000 fewer, ~ Unemployment was the lowest in Europe and probably in the world. At 304,200 ot told, it represented only 1.2 per eent of the working population; and those Hgures im- cluded folks who happened to .be shifting jobs or were temporarily wnemployed for some other reason, And, contrary to general belief, there had been no general fall as yot apparent in over-all British ex- ou Exports in May were $50,- 000 better than in April; and acoording to 'the latest month's figures available, cars, trucks, trac- tors and airplanes are being ex- ported at a rate more than three times as great as that before the war, Somehow or other it should be a reassurance to a troubled world to know that -- whatever the financial experts say -- facts and figures still stubbornly insist on giving news about Britain which is, on the whole, good. POLAND Communist control and Com- munist methods are old stuff in Poland now. The Poles have had - them for over four years now. But in spite of tales that the Polish worker is beginning to discover a bitter taste inside the sugar coat- ing handed him with his "peoples' democracy" it is easy for the west- erner to over-emphasize this, and to look for any immediate uprising among the Poles, For Poland tends to compare its hving conditions today NOT with those before the war, but rather with those during the German occupation. The big boss in a na- tionalized factory mey be a com- munist. He may even be 2 Moscow- trained Communist. But at least he is a Pole, and not a German! Even Poles who detest the pres- ent regime have a tendency to say, "Well, at least we are among our- selves." The hatred of the German master during the occupation was so intense that the new Communist master: still: seems mild by com- parison. _ All of these are reasons why there has been no violence in Po- .. Jand. But this has been going on for four years now, and the time has arrived when the Polish worker is beginning to notice some of his disadvantages--which may - be one reason why 'production in Poland has slumped a bit during recent months. .

While col- lectivization has not been pushed, there have. been published notices that it is coming. And the peasant has met this by cutting his pro- duction, even by slaughtering live- stock. ~ As stated earlier, the rumblings of possible revolt still sound very far off. But the dilemma for the Polish Communist regime is likely to grow far more difficult as time goes on, RUSSIA As the Paris conference drew to a close there were widespread speculations as to where it left re- lationships between East and West, The consensus was that no really fundamental shift of strength had taken place -- but that whatever ohanges had been made were some- what to Russia's advantage. The world picture now looks somewhat like this; the Russians have got rid of the Berlin blockade without any great loss of "face". The economic outlook in the West is uncertain, and there is pressure for freer trade to open up Eastern markets to Western goods, And al: though United States Senate ratifi- . cation of the Atlantic treaty appears likely, the arms program .to imple- ment that treaty is still in doubt. There are even moves in Washing- ton aimed at cutting down the Marshall Plan appropriations. Thus, according to some theories, it has not been in the Kremlin's interest to offer any important eon- cessions at Paris. Instead, Russian strategy has apparently been to spar for time, in the hope that the West's economic position will take a decided' turn for the worse. At the same time, Vishinsky put the Western Foreign Ministers in the embarrassing position of having to negotiate on an- issue they had not expected to consider -- trade 3 and transport for Berlin. Should a settlement of these matters be reached -- then we can look for the Russians to glaim that they were the ones who initiated the conference. However, there "has been this consoling note -- the tone of the Paris conference on .the whole has been polite, with little of the back- 'biting and ill-feeling which marked previous ones. It is expected that the Foreign Ministers will make some arrangement toward meeting again, possibly in New York in the early fall -- and at least go through the motions of trying again. " But if there is any lesson to be learned from the Paris affair, it is this; a man who really knows where he wants to go, and never takes his eyes off that goal, is liable to make for more progress than those who have no definite objec- tive, and just dawdle along hoping for the best. And you can say this about the Russians -- they keep their sights always on the target, come hell or high water. D ok HEC a maple, laneous; miles from Footes Bay, District of Muskoka, Freeman.
