MM (liW!<W' Whenever we happen to think m sport in connection with the Canadian National Exhibition, our memory invariably drifts back to the early days of the Marathon Swims â€" the days when "George YounK is now being taken out of the water"' was almost as familiar a phrase as "Greenherg is still on tJ.ird" became at a later date. * « • I'oor George! He and another long-distance water-crawler, Chan- nel Swimmer Gertrude E d e r I e, fonnd outâ€" the hard wayâ€" that while victory processions, civic receptions and the cheers of adoring multitudes may be very nice things in them- sclve?, they don't go very far to- ward paying for T-bone steaks, groceries or stalling off the im- portunities of the rent collector. If we had our way, "Which would you rather haveâ€" three cheers or three bucks?" would be tattooed some place on the hide of every young and aspiring athlete â€" some place where said athlete could read it readily and often, at that! » » • But enough of such musings. Marathon swimming was always a sport which we could either take or let alone â€" preferably the latter; al- thougli we don't suppose we'll ever forget the spectacle of "the Black Shark" slashing down toward the Anishing line in the first Exhibition affair. looking as though he could gc another 25 miles at top speed. Considerable of a swimmer, that <liy, was Mr. George Vierkoetter, and don't let anybody ever try and tell you different. * * * "But that's all past and done with, long ago and far away," as Mr. Kipling's love-sick Tommy used to put it. Let's take a look at what the sports fan has in store at this year's edition of "The Ex" â€" and it would appear as though the countless i'nou'aiicts of fastball lovers would j;et. for once, an elegant sufficiency <;f thtir favorite pastime, both from the staiuipoint of quantity and that <)f 'luality. But the Exhibition sports director can tell you all about it far better than we're able to, so take it away. Mr. Duthie. • • • First Canadian men's Softball championship series will be played this year lor Tlic Toronto Telegram Tropliy at the Canadian National Exhibition from .Vug. 25 to Sept. 9. » * » The three-ring tournaments, sponsored jointly by tlie CNE and The 'J'elcgram, also will decide two other titlesâ€" the Canadian National Exhibition championship for men's trams and the Toronto ciiampion- ship for women's teams. All win- ners will receive trophies presented hj The Telegram and a set of Bul- ova watches. " » ♦ * In addition to the tliree dianipion- ship series, the tournament will pre- sent the most uniiiuc attraction in .ioft!)aIl history â€" "The King and Mis Court," a sensational Inur-nian team from the United .States. This teaiti is built around tlie prowess of famed pitched Eddie Eeigner, vihose bag of tricks includes throw- ing blindfolded to defeat the top teams in America. « * • "The King and His Court" will open the CNE-Tclegram tourna- ments witli a series of two games Friday and Saturday, .^ug. 25 and 26, against Toronto Tip Top Tailors, current world's champions, and To- ronto People's Credit Jewellers, also of the Hearhcs F'astball League. • * « Winners from six provinces will compete in tlie first Canadian men's Softball championship series. Prior to the CNE a series will be held in Winnipeg to declare a winner to re- present British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and another series will be held in Mont- real to declare a Quebec winner.

So when you've a few minutes free from worrying about the A-bomb and its success- ors, maybe what an Old Country writer has to say about forest de- struction will help put you back in the mood of gloom which setiiis ap- propriate to this day and age. * * * Before Man set to work with saw and axe to tear dowi. the world's forests for his own use, three-iiuar- ters of the earth's land surface was tree-covered. But wood has always been an integral part of our way of life. > » * Before the widespread use of metals, wood was the world's most widely used raw material. Houses, furniture, ships, fuel were all pro- vided by the woodmen who began the irrevocable slaughter of the forests. * ♦ » Even after the Iron Age, wood still has its million uses in our daily lives and the giant forests are slowly being destroyed. • * * The result of this may finally spell tragedy for the human race. For trees do much more than mere- ly look ornamental and provide us with our daily needs. Trees are the great protectors of the soil. They shield crops from the winds, arrest soil erosion and prevent many a landslide by binding loose soil. ♦ ♦ ♦ -Mready some two-thirds of the world's woodlands have been felled and today only one tree is being planted for every two which are destroyed. ♦ ♦ * No one would deny that much of the forest clearance has been neces- sary. Towns had to be built, and large areas turned into agricultural land to feed the rapidly increasing world population. • * • But the clearance has been irre- sponsibly executed. Much of the land once covered with forest has now become desert. And this desert is spreailing. * • . ♦ â- J he famous ".Vmericaii dust- bowl" is just one example of Man's wanton destruction. In this region all the trees were Teams from the Sunnyside and Danforth leagues have entered the special series for the Toronto women's champioship. * * • Labor Day also will feature the annual Beaches Major Fastball League series for the Bulova trophy. * * * This schedule, it is expected, will provide for a tripleheader every night of the CNE â€" one women's game and two men's games in the greatest parade of softball stars in the history of the game in Canada. "Ex'' Fashion Shows Draw Big Crowds Twenty-five thousand visitors vis- itors daily, on the basis of last year's attendance, are expected to view the fashign shows at the CNE, Every fifteen minutes, from noon on, a fresh show of Canadian fash- ions will go on the runway, all under the supervision of the wom- en's director, Mrs. Kate Aitken. Important new fashion trends for the Fair season will be given parti- cular attention in this large-scale style line-up. Highlighted will be the new sloping shoulders, the neat- ly moulded hipliiie, union of fabrics, such as crepe and flat fur, and the reds, blues and greens flatterV? to the older woman.' ' Entire shows devoted completely to children's clothing will be seen for the first time in the Fashion Court of the Women's Building and in the new Coliseum Theatre. In this spacious and attractive new theatre, seating 800 and especially designed for the showing of fash- ions, will also be seen Fall costumes for the business girl, the career woman and the campus crowd. Commentators will suggest means of achieving maximum variety at minimum cost, giving both price of the garments and where they are available. Hourly shows of budget- priced coats, suits and rainwear, casual sports and business clothes and after-five wear, will again be modelled, every hour on the hour, in the Fashion Court of the women's building. Upstairs in tl»e Balcony Restaur- ant, same building, high-style clothes rushed for the Exhibition by some of the country's top people, will be presented during luncheon, tea and dinner hours. And in the Tea Court, models will prj/menade afternoon and evening in clothes from the shows in the Coliseum Theatre. .\nd this year, also for the first time, fashion -will parade on the ground floor of the Coliseum. Out from the doors of the 26 model rooms of the huge Design for Liv- ing show, at regular intervals, will walk even more models wearing more suits, more coats, jewellery and dresses. Hourly nearby, will be the Duval showmobile show of suits, coats and rainwear. Then, just to add. a touch of var- iety to this deluge of fashion, one of the home-sewn I'pe is being add- ed for good measure. Every after- noon in the Coliseum's special com- petition theatre, Mrs. Gene Dawe will be back to repeat her last year's successful showing of smocked costumes. • • Classified Advertising •• ACOOVMTIMU BOOKHKJSMNO « ACCOUNTINO 8EBVICJB Irvin* N.
