Well, professional reehell players had the same 87 guments, until lesgie rules were passed, snd now most of them wre hoppy shout it. As for the hest factor, football players perform much of the time in temperatures well above those found in ice srenss. The most srticulete advocate of helmets for hockey players is Ken Reardon, former defence star of the Montres! Canadiens snd now sn execs tive of the club. He points out thet hockey players wear pads to protect various parts of their bodies, but leave the most vulnerable part, the hesd, unprotected. He has strongly sdvocsted the passing of » league rule to make the wearing of helmets mandatory. ¥ the Nations! Hockey League enforced such & rule, it would not be long before helmets were worn by players in every hockey league on the continent Read The Fine Print These days, when every dolier is so important, it is well for citizens to be on their guard for smoothAslking people who sre making "speciel introductory offers" on get-rich-quick enterprises, The only one who gets rich quick is the salesman.

IVES, Cornwall =~ Corn wall is & country with a history Here, in the days before the Christian era, the Phoenicians came and gathered copper from primitive mines, Here, at one time, there were 8s many as #09 tin mines in operation. From this port of Bt. Ives, some years ago, there was & fleet of 300 fishing vessels putting to sea and bringing back large catches of herring, mackerel and pil chards, which formed the basis of a canning industry. And in these prosperous days, there was no great influx of tourists from many parts of the world in the summer season Today, things are different, The copper mines, which were worked by the Romans whe came with Julius Caesar, are non-existent, Today there are only two tin mines in operation, Proposals are now heing studied to open up & third mine, but strange to say, there are many objections to that from people engaged in the tourist industry, and a public inquiry is to be held hy a government inspector to decide whether the mine will be allowed to reopen BY-GONE DAYS 80 YEARS AGO Engineers from the Utilities Power and Light Corporation of Chicago arrived In Oshawa to start plans for remodelling the Oshawa gas plant A.

They operate seasonally, catching herring in the fall, mackerel in the spring, and pil chard hetween these seasons But their catches are small com- pared with the old days, and the pilchard canning industry has fallen by the wayside Because of all this, the civie authorities in Cornwall are des perate to secure light industries for their towns and villages, The unemployment ratio in the eoun- ty is between seven and eight per cent, as compared with the national average of 1.7 per cent, The percentage improves some: what in the summer, when the tourist trade brings a seasonal revival of employment This tourist trade is substan tial, It brings tens of thousands of people here for holidays Every seacoast town and village has its groups of hotels, large and small, filled to capacity in the season, but closed and empty during the winter BAD FOR INDUSTRY This very seasonal nature of employment and unemployment is one of the reasons why in- dustries are loath to come to Cornwall, There is a tendency to work in the tourist industry in summer, and then seek in- READERS' VIEWS dustrial employment only in win ter.

There is 2 move under way to "postales ize" the coal freight rates, The term arises from the fact that postal rates in sll parts of the country mre the same, regard. less of distance, Here in Corns wall there is an agitation to apply this principle to coal transport, to charge exactly the same freight rate no matter where it is being delivered in the country.
