"I had to pump up the tire on my bike," I shot back, "Are you kids all set? I've got the weiners and the buns." Susie, Gwen and Don got up off the step and proceeded !o tic the bags containing the lunch to their ikcs. "Do you think It will rain?" ask- ed Gwen. "It's .(jetting a little dark in the west.' "Xah." I replied, "I can tell by the clulmulus, or whatever it is." "Just what are you trying to give us now?" scoffed Susie. "An air force guy told me all about it. You can tell the weather by watching for the cold fronts. . . I think. No rain today, kids. Take it from an old weather prophet." "Huh and pooh and huh," chor- used three voices. We started out north of town with everyone convinced there would be no rain. It was a beauti- ful day. One of those cool fall days â€" that make you feel glad to be alive. The bright sun brought out all the autumn hues of the turning leaves, and the brown stubble in the fields beside us looked lonely and forgotten. '"Let's go up to the 7th. along to the Brock Road and down to the 4th," I suggested. "We can cook supper over an open fire in the bush; and I know just the spot." • Everyone seemed satisfied with this idea and we rode gayly along, singing and talking. Three miles north, my back tire went down and I slowly bumped to a stop. "It's beyond me how you do it," groaned Susie. "If anyone can louse up a plan, it's you." "Now don't get your braids tan- gled," I cracked. "It's only a "v^lve." ""Look's like a hole in the tube," offered Don. It was. And there we were. We hailed a kind-hearted motor- ist and hoped that he would have some patching equipment. To our surprise he did have. We soon had the tire fi-xcd and were on our way. Four miles and eight conces- sions later, Susie was chinning the handlebars from exhaustion. Gw^n groaned with every push of the pedal, while I tried to cheer them on. And nio with calluses on my •calluses. W"e reached the bush at last. A path winding off the roadway to the right led into the heart of the tall green trees. Digging a hole in the ground in a nice clearing, we SQon had a crackling fire going. <jwen and Susie sprawled out on the ground, weary and sore. "Reminds me of my boy scout days, Don. If we had time, I'd start tliis fire witli just two sticks of wood." "We have to get home tonight," moaned Susie. "Make with the heat and get those hot dogs roasted." , "There's a woman for you, Don. They don't get the feeling of the •woods like us men. \o sense of jioneerlng, no feeling of being ilone In the bush to survive or â- Mf and only your bare hands to irovidc. They want it just like at loine. Served ui> on a platt â€" ". "Oh, for goodness sake, shut up ;nd get tho.;e hot dogs on," inter- upted Susie ag.".iu. In a few in!nutes, the smell of K>t dogs, mustard and roasted ap- ples pernualed the air. "i\ty go,--h, it's starling' to sprin- kle," warned CAveu. lit a mailer of niiiiutes. a wild »nd windy tliiinder.-.torni broke all ground us. Kiinning through the Sports - And One Thing or Another By FRANK MANN HARRIS = ("A Sixbit Critic") == Down in wartime Washington a couple of reporters, just as a gag, cooked up a highly imaginary yarn about the Emperor Hirohito having made a hush-hush flying trip to Allied hcadtiuarters for the purpose o- talking peace terms. They confided this piece of "information" to just one man, swearing him to secrecy. Inside nf six hours that identical story, having taken wings to itself, was back to Washington as an authentic piece of "news" from the Pacific Coast. * ♦ ♦ This was cited, by the newspaper from which we copied it. as a start- ling instance of the speed with which gossip gets around in time cf war. But to anybody at all familiar with the way rumors travel at a race- track, it will seem comparatively snail-like. We recall an afternoon at Thorncliffe when a couple of guys, for no good reason except that they had nothing belter to do, decided to fabricate a red-hot "tip," start it on its rounds, and then see what would happen. * * » Thcv selected a steed we'll call RUMP ROASTâ€" the very worst horse in the race just coming up. Getting together in a secluded por- tion of the paddock, but taking care there was a single bystander within earshot, one of them murmured con- fidentially to the other, "I just got word from the stable that this is going to be a shoo-in for RUMP ROASTâ€" every jock in the race will torrent of rain with what food we could grab, each of us stood under a tree. "I'm soaked and my hair has all come out," wailed Su.--ic. "I'm cold ivet and I aclie all over," stbbea Gwen. "Some week- end this is." Three pair of eyes from under three different trees turned â€" and the burning gaze of all three stretched across to the tree under which I was standing â€" with the rain dripping down my neck frod the branches above. "There now, smarty," sneered Susie, in my direction, "my week- end guests are sorry they came, and it's all your fault." "Stay here and I'll run down the road to a farm house and phone to town for a taxi," I offered. "Forget it, w'e'll all go.'' said Don. "We can't get any more wet than we are." So we started off, splashing our way down the muddy road. Pant legs lost their creases, sweaters turned color from red to pink and, a we walked, each of us could feel the water oozing out of our shoes. Riding home in the taxi, I could hear the muffled voices of the other three in the back scat. I think it was Don wht said: "well, if he didn't know how to prophesy tly>,weathcr by looking at the sky, w^y didn't he shut up? " "You could ask that question after a lot of things he says," an- swered Susie. .\nd so we finally arrived home after a bike hike and " picnic in the country.

(This owner, by the way, didn't have five thousand cents to bless himself with, let alone that many dollars, and evervbody knew it.) * « « Having thus sown the good seed the two conspirators proceeded, in a leisurely manner, through the crowds. Before they had travelled the length of the grandstand they had received no less than seven dilTcrent tips on RUMP ROAST, one good pal even dashing down from the press box to let them in on "the hottest thing of the meeting"; and the probable odds on that steed, which had opened at a legitimate 50 to 1, now stood at 9 to 5. * t * The sequel ? Well, by the lime they rc:;c!icd the Club House lawn, news of the coming "killing" had reached such proportions, and bore so many earmarks of authenticity, that it ap- peared to be an opportunity too golden to be overlooked. And you needn't peg this as merely a flight into the realms of fancy either, seeing that we were one of the pair that started this wild rumor â€" and ended up bv bettini; on our own fabrication. As for RUMP ROAST, he finished a bang-up ninth in a field f ten. one of the others pulling up with a howcd tcn<l<in. * « * Our educational and church aulh- urltics are cotitiiuially deploring the evil effects of sensational "comic" books, lurid tiioz'ies. and crime- fea- tiinnci radio dramas on young and grooving tninds, and zvishitig our boys ard girls zi'outd take greater interest i» literature of the better sort. Such being the case, why is it that they stilt insist on building Public Libraries zihich, from the outside, are just about as attractive and glam- orous as some Morgue or Isolation Hos/'ital:' In these days of modern merehaudistng, [>ackaging is almost as important as contents; and if we ever saw a Library that was even one-tenth as inviting to youthful eyes as an ul>-to-date Soda Bar or Movie House, ire Kould hare greater hope for the success of the "better read- ing" movement.

About 240 j-cars ago the inventor, Professor Gabriel Fahrenheit ot Germany, wanted a fixed low point and fixed high point for the scale. Forcing the temperature of water below freezing by mixing snow and salt in ^ual parts, he thought he reached the low- est temperature obtainable on earth 21 d called that low point zero. He then established what he thought was the highest weather temperature and called that 100. Now we know he was wrong on both counts. Weather falls far below zero in the .Arctic and rises far above 100 in the deserts. In the laboratory, the coldest tem- perrturc we now reach is 4^0 degrees below Fahrenheit's zero. The centi- grade scale, which is in common use throughout the world, with the ex- ception of this country and the Brit i,>:h Empire, fixes zero at the point at which water freezes and 100 de- grees at which water 'i.iils, two nafur,il cmistants.
