It is drawn by a 2,000 horsepouer Diesel engine and is air- conditioned. It was on display- at the C.N.E. Sports - And One Thing or Another By FRANK MANN HARRIS ==5 ("A Sixbit Critic") Complying with a public demand that would have taken a microscope of the highest power to even sec, our ever-thoughtful sports impre- sarios have now served us mid- August football, with the thermom- eter topping the 90 degree mark. The results were best described by Win- ston Giurchill in his immortal phrase about "blood, sweat and tears." The athletes provided sweat a-plenty, blood in varying quantities from bashed beczers and the like ; and tears were clearly observable in the eyes of promoters vainly looking for dividend-paying crowds that failed to show up. * * « Our personal reaction, after a very brief look, was similar to the old one about the character whose wife coaxed him to church one morning when tfie minister's subject was 'The Prophets of the Bible." After two hours and a half it looked as though the preacher was finally running short of wind; but, after a deep breath, he began again » with "We have now dealt, first with the Major Prophets and, second, with the Minor Prophets; but now, brethren, just what place must we ascribe to the Prophet Zechariah?" * f . * At this, the character stood up in his pew and said, "If it's all the same to the rest of the folks, the Prophet Zecariah can have MY place â€" I'm going home." Th:.t, brief- ly, is our position as regards 90-in- -the shade footballâ€" only for "go- ing" you can read "staying". * ♦ * The autoiiiolk'c industry has long taken pride in its up-to-the-minute merchandising methods; and if imi- itl^ion is the sinccrest form of flattery, may feel flattered by an incident recently reported to us. Business -vas brisk at the little booth where the overhead sitin read JVICY HAMBUKGERS ONLY 5c. But lihen the hungry customer finally secured one of the delicacies he teas surprised zi'hen the price demanded zcas just four ti}nes as greit. "Thi list price is fife cents," he was told in anszi-er to his protest, "but it's a nickel e.rtra for each of the accessories â€" onions, relish and mustard." * « * Now wc must confess to a really severe shock. Two or three weeks ago Dick Irvin, of the Canadicns, came out with the breath-taking statement that a goal-tender is 50% of a hockey team ; which brought a prompt rebuttal from Conn Smyth, in whose studied opinion a good cen- ter forward is an even more vahiaMe asset to a club. * « * Very naturally wc fully expected to see so vital a matter flare up â€" with judicious fanningâ€" into a rag- ing controversy occupying column after column of space, with reporters madly dashing here and there to secure the opinions, pro and con, of anybody ever even faintly connected with ice, from Hans Drinker to the Sixth Vice President of the Hot Shot Refrigerator Company. * « « V.Mt, alackaday, nobod>- seemed to give a hoot either way, and the whole thing was just allowed to drop. Now can it be that our sports editors no longer realize the supreme importance of hockey as a national assett, builder of character, and safe- guard asainst the inroads of Com- miniism? Don't they know this is no way to treat the pearls "which drip from the :ips of the master-minds? Or did the press agentsâ€" like the football promoters already referred to â€" just make a mistake in their timing? * * * .\ friend of ours recently attended a harness horse meet in Toronto â€" a meet at which the attendance, inci- dentally, would have been considered a poor one in several Ontario \ il- lages wc know. .Xskcd his opinit^n of the sport, to which he was a stranger, his answer was rather in- teresting. "It's good fun." he said, "but it's too darned honestâ€" the favorites come down in front almost every time." There, in a nutshell, he came close to hitting the real reason why so few people like both the Standard Bred and Thoroughbred brands of racing. Your running-horse addict, nine times out of ten, goes to the track with visions of sudden wealth, and considers any price of less than two or three to one as extremely stingy. Trotting-horse fans, on the other hand, attend primarily for the fun of the sport, and if they bet at all, are satisfied with smaller profits and more certain returns. Person- ally, we like both types about equally â€" and can go broke at cither with .about equal celerity. « « * ..Reading the speeches made at the variouj peace parleys, one can hard- ly help being struck by the fact that, though the zvorld is admittedly in a terrible condition, the spokesman in- variably lays the blame on any country other than his ov.'n. They put us in mind of the old lady up in Bruce County ivho remarked to a neighbor, "What do you think Father Finnigan said to me at con- fession today? He told me that I confess the sins of every person in the parish bttt myself!" TEEN-TOWN TOPICS = By BARRY MURKAR=i Well, it's just about over for another year. We are referring of course to the Canadian Nat- ional Exhibition that re-opened after five long years. ft has been a wonder- ful two weeks and thousands of you out there are probably bathing your poor, aching little tootsies while you are reading this. We won't go into detail on the "Ex." as it is alt history now; but in passing we would like to suggest that many of you drop a thanks to Kate .Mtken, Women's Director of the "Ex." for the swell job she did on Teen-Town, that held capacity crowds every day. The fashion shows, the radio broadcasts, the record bar and the dozen and one things they had at Teen-Town for our enjoyment all adds up toâ€" it wjs the best exhi- bition yet. Let's Face It Back to school again for an other year. To many it witl mean another year before university; to others it will mean no more nights on the girl friend's veranda; while to others it will be th-; usual big, fat headache. However school time is here, no matter how it ef- fects you. Longer dresses are again the current style and pop will be feeling th« pinch as daugh- ter insists .hat she must be up-to- date. Junior, however, can still slop along in lajt year's togs and feel right at home. As far as we know, boy's and men's clothing has changed very little. We like to think about the first day of the new school term. Maybe because the scene depicted in our home is the same as in countless others. Mom gets dowit the lunch-pail and dusts it off while the kids sort out the year's text books and hand them down to sonicone else. Usually there is a mad scramble at the last minute and mom is near physical exhaustion by the time she finds the last pair of braces under tbc bed or the hair decorations tuciccd away in a drawer â€" that were purchased in July for this gala occasion. Of course there is always one conso- lation in the first day of schoolâ€" and that is getting out early. Tuck a pear in your pocket, ,«n apple in your hand and away you K". Thrills I by ;,ll us that ncu:.papcr |Kv •'.â- I. it tlicd of healing, "you meet such intcrestirtK people." Honestly though, it's the truth. We agree the people newspaper writers meet are not always in- teresting but occasionally they provide a thrill. For instance, last week we had the chance to try our hand at reporting police court news for the local weekly. There were two young fellows up for armed bank robbery and only re cently they had made the head- lines of the dailies. We hitch- hiked a ride to court with twa police officers. On the way they pulled up at the county jail. They went in for a few minutes and presently came out with the rob- bers who were naturally hand- cuffed. Never-the-less it was somewhat of a thrill to ride to court with the two men who we were going to write about. Then, too. we had the pleasure a few weeks ago of hearing the famous war-correspondent, Ross Munroe speak on Russia. He doesn't be- lieve there will be a war in our time. Following his speech, which of course was broadcast over the local airwaves, we had the pleas- ure of meeting him. .-^s we shook hands, the man introducing us said to Mr. Munroe: "This young man is quite a student on foreign affairs." to which Munroe re- plied, "that's fine, I sure wish I had more time to study the sit- uation." Oh brother â€" and all the time we were wondering where Moscow is. But that's life. Only yesterday we had a phone call from the talking-reporter, Jim Hunter. Frankly we think we'll take to this newspaper work ser- iously. We are beginning to find out â€" that you meet such interest- ing people. Another Teen-Town Topics It was interesting to learn a few days ago that there was an- other Teen-Town Topics column. This one we refer to, appears in one of the large dailies of Chi- cago and is written by a teen-age girl. She made a big hit recently, when she was the only reporter to get an interview with Presi- dent Harry Truman. Why the heck couldn't we get an exclusive like that? This other Teen-Town Topics is devoted wholly to in- terviews with celebrities. We mentioned doing something of a similar nature in the fall. Foreign Correspondents You, you or you may soon re- ceive the appointrhent of being official correspondent of your town for this column. You will be asked to send in news of your teen club, its members and any teen-age news of interest that hits your town. Wc want to fill this column with news of the various clubs, and we are appealing to you for help. When you get the appointment, will you take your pen in hand and send along the news regularly? Thanks a mil- lion. Dogs and Cats Shun This Nicotine Spray Ornamental plants on front porches, flowers and shrubs in the front garden, and the corner posts of por-hcs may be protect- ed troni damage by dugs and cats by the simple use of dilute nico- tine spray. The spray is hlarm- less but its smell is very offen- sive to cats i.nd dogs, even when applied so thinly that persons are unaware of its presence. The name of the material is nicotine sulpl ate and may be bought at any seed or drug store. The spray is prepared by mixing one-half teaspoon of the nicotine sulphate with one gallon of water. The spray evaporates and should be renewed after rain, otherwise in good weather spraying every two weeks is sufficient. Once they have sniffed the spray, the dogs will patronize the other side of the road in their favourite ram- bles round the town. Sprayed on small pieces of wood, tile nicotine will prevent cats from making their nightly boudoirs among the rows of the prettiest flowers in the back-garden plots. There are three kinds of people â€" those who make good, those who make trouble and those who make excuses. »ou Hill Enjoj 6tn>inB «l The St. Regis Hotel TORONTO « Eiriw Roam \VUb Bntli.
