i TEEN-TOWN TOPICS «== By BARRY MURKAR == We are now well into the se- cond week of December and Christmas -"is just around the corner, Seems like a month ago that we were counting up the sheckles and di- viding 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 price--and they are gifts that most people, "young and old, appreciate. The old reliables are' books and records, and we can add to that--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 and will probably meet your bud- get. Well, so much for Christmas. What's 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 Aberdeen 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 'Christie Street Hospital. The other young chap, who re- ceived the King's Guineas for his winning Junior Champion Steer, was 18-year-old Ken McKinnon of Hillsburg, Ontario. Nice going, fel- lows, and we hope your interest in Ontario farming will continue. On the Record FREDDY MARTIN has a swell arrangement of Santa Claus Ix- press. On the other side we have Hora Staccato, with Gene Conklin' doing some real fancy whistling. TONY MARTIN does a nice bit of solo work on The Christmas Song and Begin The Beguine, 'This is worth a listen to, no fool- ing. TEX BENE KE with the Miller Orchestra gives 'you A Girl That 1 Remember in a slow tempo, then a fast swing number on the re- verse side eplleg Surprise Sym- ghony. TOMMY DORSEY isn't to be left out of the shuffle. He comes up with The Whistler Song and I Met My Baby In Mac's, both play- .ed in a slow tempo. These are re- commended for December. -- SUGGESTION ON WAX Records that Mom will like-- Ave Maria, Concerto in A minor with Arthur Rubenstien; Just For.

You can usually find choice items here that will satisfy all members of the family, If you are the handy type, maybe you could make a few items, ' * * * On Christmas Day Next week will sée our last col- umn before Christmas, On that "day, when the dinner is over and things have quieted down a little, you can turn to your radio for thé best. day's listening pleasure of the hole year.

A Sister ship, the Imperial Collingwood, was launched at the same place, Sept. 27. Both are canal-size vessels. Sports -- And One Thing or Another By FRANK MANN HARRIS Old-time gamblers used to have a variety of picturesque expressions to describe a man who was cxcep- tionally favoured by fortune. One' of the few printable ones was "He's so lucky that if he fell in a sewer he'd come up with-his pockets full" of goldfish." Up to the last Sat- urday in November we had never considered ourself as belonging to the class of those so favoured by Fortune. But now -- well, we're not so certain. * * * There we were, right after lunch that Saturday, all set for an after- noon spent in our favourite -pastime -- thinking of all the chores 'we should be attending to, and not doing a single onc of them. The East-West football final? What's the sense of going out in that crisp November air just to watch the Argonauts go through the motions of giving the Winnipeg Bombers a football lesson. To Heck with it! Argos are as good as wheat in the bin, and we're not going to stir a single foot. And then, it must have been Lady Luck herself who whis- pered in our car and persuaded us to go. * * * If we hadn't -- Ob, brother, what a grand succession of thrills we would have missed! Whenever a youthful sports fan waxes enthus- iastic over some game he's "seen some veteran is always around to ice-water the ardor by saying, rather patronizingly, "Yes -- but you should have been there back in the _old days when dear old Whoozis tangled with Whatsitsname." We have done more than our share of that sort of thing ourselves. But now we freely and publically take it all back. For sustained drama and excitement there never was anything to touch that Argo - Bomb- ers affair before, go as far back as you like. We doubt very much if | there will be again. If you were one of the 20-thousand or so at Varsity Stadium. on Nov. 29th, you'll be able to tell your great- | grandsons that "they ain't seed | nothin!" in a football way. * * * As to the rights and wrongs of the proposed partitioning of Pales- tine we have 0 opinion -- not 'knowing enough about such compli- cations to express one. Bul we will hazard just one guess. After taking ("A Sixbit Critic") a look at the map showing the way they figure to carve up the territory between the Jews and the Arabs, we'd risk a small wager that -- at some time in his career -- the man responsible. worked for a manufact- ures of jig-saw puzzles of the more complicated wvariely. * x * When it comes to the fine art of sports publicity -- of kecping their game in 'the public consciousness 305 days a ycar at the least cost -- Baceball folks are in a class by themselves. Latest exhibit is High Commissioner Chandler -- or some- "body in his office -- coming out in December with .a- "recommendation" that each of the Major Leagues ex- pand into-a 10-club group by taking in four cities from the sun-slopped slopes of the Pacific. * * * This will be good for witold reams of free newspaper space at a time .when really live baseball news is scarce. But we doubt if anybody, including the High Commissioner himself, imagines for a moment that this "recommendation" will get any farther, with the baseball moguls, than "noted and carefully filed -- in the waste-paper basket." : * * « Just for one objection to the pro- posal, any real baseball man will tell you that a 10-tcam group is too un- wicldy -- too far from the bottom to the top. The fans who will sup- port teams running in seventh and cighth places are fairly scarce. Out in California they might come in paying quantities to sce a ninth or . tenth "place team for about one season -- but not much longer. * * * "We sce reason, however, why the Pacific League shouldn't he raised to major status for Post' Season purposes only. A Super World Series in November or carly De- cember, played 'in the far West, would. draw- like a poultice. If the Westerners lost it "would make no difiérence.

That .is a rather interesting question, and you can supply your own answer. d.eague teams say that the Toronto Maple Leafs are far harder to beat oti-a Saturday night -- when they know that the cars of all the.great coast-to-coast audiente, are they are, even on home ice, in a mid- But some of that sort of comment may be put down to professional jealousy. But here's a rather peculiar angle. Last year the Maple Leafs were the best team in the loop -- if not over a whole scason's play, at least when the chips were down at the finish.
