Machine Cuts Grass Disposes of Leaves And Shovels Snow One-time farm boy, but now a resident. of. Buffalo, Bernard® L. Larsen ha§ invented, or at least con structed, a contraption which soyrds like the solutioni to many a hpuse- holder's problems. Powered by a one and ode-half H.P. air-cooled gasoline engine, the new machine has two distinct units. For picking up fallen leaves, there is something that looks like an over- size vacuum cleaner, in which a powerful blower is cdnnected to a series of revolving brushes. These pick up the leaves which are shot through a four-inch pipe into a bur- lap bag. The same scctign is used as a snow-plow, with a front section re- moved so as to let the brushes contact the snow. With the burlap bag removed an adjustable elbow is trained in any desired direction, the blower tossing the 'snow fifty fcet or more. For mowing lawns, after removing the blower-unit, a cutting attachment is easily slid on. Then two revolving disks, kept always at the same height from the ground, do the cutting. With his machiné Larsen takes care 'of his own lawn, also six be- longing to nearby neighbours. After the grass is maavn, he slips on the leaf-picking attachment to sweep up the grass cuttings. In wintertime hig yard is said to be thé delight of delivery-boys. forced to battle with snowdrifts elsewhere. Excepting for the motor, the-entire affair is said to have cost Larsen something like $15 for materials--and it is reported there is a possibility of it being de- veloped commercially. Now 'a Maple Leaf--OUne of only 3 players in modern hockey history to "win the leagye scoring crown two years in a row, Max Bentley now - comes to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a big swap which takes Bob Goldham, Gaye Stewart, Gus Bodnar, Bud Poile and Ernie Dickens. to the Chicago- Blacks. A na- tive of Delisle, Saskatchewan, Bentley, together with his big brother Doug and Bill Mosi- -enko have formed. one of hockey's most effective scor- - ing lines--the only. real threat the Chicago team possessed. In an effort to strengthen the Black Hawks generally, Own- cr Bill Tobin has traded Bent- ley, together with Rookie Cy Thomas, for three Maple Leaf forwards and two defensemen, in the biggest straight 'man- for-man' deal major . league hockey ever knew. More Than 600 Dogs To Be Benched at Royal Winter Fair p Eight. outstandirig judges from the United States and Canada will be on hand to select the prize winners at the two dog shows on November 20, 21 and 22 at the Royal Winter Fair under "the aus- pices of the' National Kennel Club.

The "trash" --straw, stubble and greenery--they put into the soil is good fertilizer, and also keeps it from blowing away. . Sports -- And One Thing or Another =By FRANK MANN HARRIS The 'people of the United States claim--perhaps rightly--to lead the world in most lines of human en- deavor. Some of those claims we might be inclined to challenge just a trifle. But when it comes to slopping over into sickly sentimentality, we 'freely admit they are tops "This somewhat acid thought comes to mind on reading a front-page story to the effect that the 'fate horse MAN O' WAR.is to be embalmed, then buried in a silken-lined oak coffin--and that the city 'of Lexing- ton, Kentucky had gone into mourn- ing over his passing. * * x Now: MAN O' WAR was un- doubtedly quite a race-horse -- al- though by no means the unbeatable ball-of-fire some of his adulators would have you believe. + We saw him rin a couple of times; and while we make no claim to be a real judge of horseflesh, we had an idea that some of his superiority was due to the fact that he didn't have sof very much to beat. To us he calls 16 mind the ancient saying "In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." * * * However, he caught the public fancy; and his owners were smart enough to retire him at the pcak of his fame. Whenever some sports cobbler found himself down Lexing- ton way, and short of something to" write about, he would turn out a piece about "Big Red"--and so the horse became something of a legend during his lifetime, Still, stuff like "Man O' War did more for this com- munity. than ("A Sixbit Critic") any other creature, human or aniftal." Silk-lined coftinl Black-ribboned floral wreaths in shop windows. Twenty gallons of embalm- ing fluid! Maybe we're a bit too squeamish but, somehow or other, it all gives us a sickish feeling. * * * There are many who hail the abandonment of' price controls as a triumph for the system of free enter- prise--and personally we belicve that there is just as great danger in too much governmental éontrol as there ts in dog little. Still, if there were only one solitary occasion when dropping of coiitrols was, followed by a drop in prices, instead of an immediate increase, it would be a rather pleasant change, and a boost for "free competition" as well. ' x x * By no means for the first time, Conn Smythe-has proved himself to be just about the most far-secing operative in hockey. Everybody clse connected with the game: recognized the sorry plight of the Chicago Black Hawks--but the Maple Leaf boss was the only one, apparently, who foresaw how the Hawks weak- ness might eventually prove bad for the entire league, and did something about it. For in a small group like the N.H.L. one bad team could be as "dangerous as one rotten apple in a barrel of good ones. _ : CE But with hockey business as good as it is, and. folks fairly falling over themselves to get tickets, everybody' clse jist sat still and let the Black Hawks steadily become more painful to watch. But iow Smythe has pro- vided them with what looks like the Cheque written on sealskin is vi Carpenter (l¢ft) Bank of Mon MacArthur, assistant librarian. cwed at Montreal by Kathleen treal librarian, Cheque is a prize specimen and Patricia in collection of Canadian and foreign coins and currency odd- itieg-owned by the bank, which marked its 130th birthday - last week, "makings of an entirely new team-- * and before too long this move should prove wof real value, not only to Chicago, but to the box offices of all cther five teams: * «x We wSuldn't advise you to feel too sorry for Smythe cither. While he has done his good deed toward the Hawks, we don't figure he has done too badly for his Maple Leafs cither. In getting Max Bentley he has made the Toronto team just about a cinch tc repeat last year's triumph--for if Bentley could be one of the league's outstanding performers in his Chi- cago surroundings, he sliould rise to real heights witli-the sort of support his new teammates can give him. * * * It will be interesting, 100, to watch the future carcer of Rookie Cy Thomas, tossed in with Bentley as part of the five for two swap. For it is just within the bounds that he might turn out to be worth more than all five Leafs involved. We're not saying he will--but it could be. We have said some harsh "things about Conn Smythe in the past--and probably will be in the future. But when "it comes to evaluating the fu- ture possibilities of a hockey player, Ontario Bees May Summer In North Of passing intercot to those in Northwestern Q.tario is news from the Ontari, Agricultural. Col- lege that in tie future bees may come north with the birds in the spring. The district of Temiskam- ing and Cochrane have already ex perienced the migration, several thousand: colonies having been moved up there by truck this sum mer, says the Fort William Times- Journal. It is expected that about 10,000 colonies will go north in 1048, The transference of bees is not new in the United States. Irom California, bees are moved thou- sands of miles cach year, following the various honey crops. The first is the orange honey in the south, ending up with the clover flow in the north, > The new trend in Ontario is in- dicated by the fact 'that the produc- tion of honey has not proven pro- fitable in several sections of South- cern Ontario. By bringing the little workers to the north, the beckeep- ers can obtain a crop from the clover. during July and then move to the burned-over areas for fire- weed honey during August.

Pat: Ah, but he fell in head first. * we rate him as tops--and would hate to try and swap with him, even if he gave us the first three picks. * * * * Riding on a bus the other morning 'we happened to sit next a High School teacher of our acquaintance. Thinking to cheer him up a little, we read him a few lines appearing in "that day's paper. "Next to. the Church; the teaching profession is the highest calling in the land, On our teachers, to a great- extent, de- pends the whole life and nature of Canada." After informing him that these were the words of the Prenvier of Ontario, we asked him if such nice things didn't make him _feel proud. "They'd make me feel a lot better," he replied, somewhat bitter- Iy,» "if my grocer or coal-dealer would accept them in place of cash!" * x * Probably you've heard this one before, but if you have, vou'ré not going fo stop us anyway. It's about the Sunday School teacher who was talking about different sors of thirsts. "Some people thirst after righteousness," he said, "others thirst after learning, wealth, fame or cx- citement. Now, just what do you boys thirst after?" From the- back row piped up a small voice--""Right after salted peanuts."
