Seems like a month ago that we were counting up the sheckles and di- V i d i n g them among the fa- mily; only it was a year ago and now Christ- mas is back again. This year the sheckles wont go as far, and it means that all of us will have to spend our money wisely to come out on top of the pile. However, there are two gifts we can think of that haven't gone up in priceâ€" and they are gifts that most people, young and old, appreciate. The old reliables are books and records, and we can add to thatâ€" theatre tickets. If you have been lucky enough to have a Saturday job at the local store, you are all set. Farther down the column, you will find a list of records that we think will make ' welcome gifts for the whole family Side-Saddle Bikeâ€" Tullio Lo Monaco, of Milan, Italy, be- ieves that a fellow should have his girl at his side, even when bicycling. So he invented this side-saddle bike, on which both riders pedal but only' one steers. and will probably meet your bud- get. Well, so much for Christmas. What't the Beef? There are two very proud young farmers in Ontario today. Why are they so proud? Well, because the steers they raised won top honors over all other beef cattle at the Royal Winter Fair. The Grand Champion .\berdeen Angus steer, judged "The Best in the Show" of any breed in market classes, was raised and exhibited by Lloyd Mack of Maple Grove Farms, Rockwood, Ontario. The animal is really a beauty. Weigh- ing 920 pounds of solid hamburg- ers, he was bought by the T. Eaton^ Co., and donated to the ChrisHe Street Hospital. The other young chap, who re- ceived the King's Guineas for his winning Junior Champion Steer, was 18-ycar-old Ken McKinnon of Hillsburg, Ontario. Nice going, fel- lows, and we hope your interest in Ontario farming will continue. SUGGESTION ON WAX Records that Mom will likeâ€" Ave Maria, Concerto in A minor with .\rthur Rubenstien; Just For Today, sung by John Charles Thomas and the Warsaw Concerto, with Leo Litwin at the piano with the Boston "Pops" Orch.

The kiddies will enjoy â€" the al- bums of The Night Before Christ- mas, Dumbo, Peter and the Wolf, Pinnocchio, Little Black Sambo and Cinderella. On Christmas Day Next week will see our last col- umn before Christmas. On that da}', when the dinner is over and things have quieted down a little, you can turn to your radio for the best day's listening pleasure of the whole year. We will try to give you the latest next week on the programs for that day. Sports - And One Thing or Another By FRANK MANN HARRIS ======= ("A Sixbjt Critic") ====== Old-time gamblers used to have a variety of picturesque expressions "•to describe a man who was excep- tionally favoured by fortune. One of the few printable ones was "He's so lucky that if he fell m a sewer he'd come up with his pockets full of goldfish." L'p to the last Sat- urday in November we had never considered oursclf as bolonginp to the class of those so favoured by Fortune. Bui mnv â€" well, we're not so ccrta''n. * * * Tlicre «c were, right after lunch that Saturday, all set for .nn after- noon spent in our favourite pastime â€" thinking of all the chores we should be attending to. and not doing a single one of them. The East- West football final? Wh;il's the sense of going out in that crisp No\ ember air just to watch the Argonauts go through the motions of giving the Winnipeg Bombers a football lesson. To Heck with it ! .â- ^rgos. are as good as wheat in the bin, and we're not going to stir a single foot. .\nd then, it must have been Lady Luck herself who whis- pered in (lur oar ;in(l jiersuailod us If V, e b.-itliit â€" Oh, lirothcr, what a grand succession ol thrills we would have missed! Whenever a youthful sports fan waxes euthtis- iastic over some game he's seen .some veteran is always around to icc-waier the ardor by saying, rather l)ati'iiiizingly. "Yes â€" but you sbcml'.i have i^'on there back in the old days when dear old Whoozis tangled with Whatsitsnanie." We have done more than our share of that sort of thing ourselxes. But now we freely and publically lake it all back. For sustained drama and excitement there never was anytbiug to touch that Argo - Bomb- ers .'.hair before, go as far back as yon. like. We doubt very much if there will be again. If you were one iif the 2U-lbous.ind or so at \ arsiiy Stadium on Nov. 29th. xon'll Ik .ible to tell your grcat- gravdsei s that "ihey aiu'i seed iiothin I'' in a football way. * * * .-/,( f.'

But we zdlt hacar'd just one guess. After taking a look at the map shozcing the way they figure lo carve up the territory bctzvceu the Jezi's and the .4rabs, ici-'rf risk a small ziager that â€" at some time in his career â€" the man responsible zi'orkcd for a manufact- ure; of jig-sazi.' pussies of the more complicated Z'ariety. * * * A lady came all the lioy from British Columbia lo Toronto to ac- cept a ""'.â- orld's championship" for grozving zchcat. z^hicl. she thought zeas zcorth .$2000,00.

We think she zi'as very luckv â€" at least they didn't, so far as ice knozu, ask her to pay her oien admission Ticket lo the .fhozv. i. * 'i: .\re ho.ckcy players more suscept- ible lo friendly atmosphere and 'home-town' enthusiasm than other professional athletes? That is a rather interesting question, and you can supply your own answer. Play- ers on other National Hockey League teams say that the Toronto Maple Leafs are far harder to beat on a Saturday night â€" when they know thai the ears of all the great coast-to-coast radio au\lience arc following their action.s' they arc, even on home ice. â€" than in a mid- week game. But some of that sort ot commeiil may he luil profession.-d jealousy. d'lv.

It was after midnight. There was little trailic on the roads. SEES TWENTY FOOT FLAME Suddenly, above the roar of his engine, Stephen Arthur heard a loud crash. Then, on rounding a bend, he jammed on his brakes. Piled up against a tree he saw the broken wreckage of a car. Before Arthur could stop his truck, a sheet of flame leaped nearly twenty feet from the wreck. OCCUPANTS UNCONSCIOUS By the time Arthur reached the car it was blazing fiercely. The gas-tank had blown up, spraying the unconscious occupants with blazing fuel. A wall of flame confronted Arthur as he wrenched open the driver's door. Heedless of his own safety, he reached into the fire, grabbed the driver and pulled him clear. On turning back he saw another body in the flames. Again he reached through the blazing gasoline, and hauled the man from the car. Shortly afterwards, both men were rushed to hospital. In spite of his eflforts, Stephen Arthur was unable to save the life of a third victim. This in no way lessens our admiration for his courage in saving the lives of two men. We are proud to pay tribute to Stephen Arthur of .Vncastcr, Ontario, through the r'cscnfitinn of The Dow Award. THE DOW AWARD u a ciCdtion for outstanding hero- ism and includes, as a tangible txfiression of appreciiilion, a Sioo Canadu Savings Bond. W'nnicrs are selected !iv the Dow Au'ard Committee, a group of editors of leading Canadian datlv newspapers. Flames were already leaping from the wrecked coupe when Arthur raced to the rescue of the unconscious victims. In spite of the intense heat caused by the blazing gasoline, Arthur managed to drag two men from the car. His bravery undoubtedly ,sa>ed their lives. 1 1 LmUE REGQE By Margarita M
