Another large crowd went away from the bouxing card at the Mcintyre the other night full of satisfaction that they had just seen another bangâ€"up boxing show under the promotion of Kid Shorty Wolfe. The main bout between Maurice Lavigne and Jim Hayes of North Bay marked another mileâ€"post for avigne along the comeback trail as he tackled the hardâ€"sluzging kid from the Bay and came up with a K.O. in the fourth round. For Hayes it was a real surprise as he was very cenfident of a victory as he had just returned from the Dominicn boxing finals at Lethbridge, Albert, where he was Doâ€" min‘on runnerâ€"up.

What single important new weapon did the Russians think up in five years of warfare? And why didn‘t they? New York City 11.2.47. How come they haven‘t been able to turn out a firstâ€"rate car? There are not top secrets in a Chevy. How come they have to buy so many cars from us?
