? Aaa ' Things Best Remembered From The Year Just Past » " are some of the things I'd like to see: Terry Sawchuk in the Detroit Red Wings shut-out games in thé Stanley Cup series; Sugar Jim Henry, the Boston Bruin goaler, making his last galiant stand against Gap- ose ecto adians in. the Cup. series, with his broken, his eye-lids mere slits that had been carefully pried o before. the game; Rocket Richard scoring goal No, 325 for a new National League record, unaware that nis final shunt had sent the puck rolling in, turning pale and almost fainting when he realized that the long strain, lasting five games had ended at last, Rod Smylie, making the 25 yard run after taking a 36-yard pass to snatch victory for 'Toronto Argonauts over Hamilton Ticats in the dying moments of the third playoff game to decide the Interprovincial football title; any of the races in which the great grey colt Native Dancer, 2-year-champion of the year, spread- cagled his field; the fantastic ending to the Ray Robinson - Joey Maxim fight, when Robinson, out-weighed, collapsed from the fearful heat and his own exertions, : ~ Emil Zatopek, grimacing and -shadow-boxing his way to three Olympic triumphs on cinder-path and road, stamping him the greatest distance runner of our time; coach Casey Stengel of the champion Yankees juggling to make those amazing pitcher changes, in the last game of the world Bateball series; Joe Black, tall, smiling, soft-spoken Negro pitcher starting the opening game of the Series and winning it. 2 Big Jean Beliveau, giant Quebec Ace, and most-sought. ama- . teur by professional clubs, cranking up for one of his great free- wheeling rushes, then roaring along "to scorc as pe Qushecers blazed their trail to,the Alexander Trophy; Mili Schmidt of Bos- ton Bruins, one of the greatest of modern ice stars, whistling trome goal No. 200, the night 'of March 18, and Bobby Bauer, of the immortal. Boston Kraut line of Schmidt-Dumarc Bauer, re- turning for one glorious night in the Big Time, to score a goal; George Geneureux, a 17-year-old trap-shooting star from Saska- toon, with ice-water in his veins, winning for Camada its only gold medal at the Olympic games agaiust the best shots in the world. And the film of 1952 wouldn't be complete unless you were sitting on: the 50-yard line when Edmonton Eskimos overcame a 19-point deficit and went on to eleminate Calgary Stampeders in the western football race; and a week later, after "losing the opener of the two-of-three final right in Edmonton to' Winnipeg, took the final game to the amazement of everybody except Frankie - Filchock, who called the shots all along. What a fi'm all that would be. I'd like to sve it and so would everybody else. ® If I could re-rai) the ilm of 1952, these nets, playing any one of those incomparable r Women are hardier, tougher and healthier than men.

For the * river, they say, is disappearing again and in the Chalfont areas its bed was recently prtictically dry, Seis re nt - Why are the residents worried?

Still, even if "neither .the Braves 'and the Inidans manag- .ed to head their loops, neither did either finish in the cellar. Which is pretty good going, for us. * Ld * On the turf, what we recall most clearly during the past year, was how many juicy Daily Doubles we just missed--through no fault of our own, we would like to assure you. Time after time, just 'as soon as we saw the winning numbers hung up, -and the winning figures posted we knew right away that those were the horses we had liked. Just why we failed to wager on them -is one of those sweet mys- teries of life familiar with all horse-players, and not so sweet at that. 2? * Well, here at the start of 1953 we have decided, firmly and un- shakably, that we are going to make one -- count it -- one pre- ° diction for this year, and even it vou should beg us to change our- mind, which: we doubt you will, we shall refuse. ~~ . & © LS Still, to ymake up for the lack of quantity in our forecasts we are going strong on quality.

Stacking wood is just one of STACKING WOOD 3 --From-Countryman's Year, by Haydn S$. Pearson A FARM: lad of a dozen years or so is always deeply concerned over what Saturday will bring forth in the way of 'a task. If the weather is favorable in spring, a fellow is pretty sure of what Father will announce on a Saturday after breakfast. But if it is rainy, or if the soil is wet from a recent rain so that cultivating, planting, or hoeing 'are out of the picture, a boy feels some trepidation, Therefore, it is with a certain feeling of relief that he hears, "Well, Son, what. .do you say you stack wood today?" Stacking wood is not necessarily an exciting' Before oil and electricity became common, a good farmer took pride ..in_his woodpile. It took many cords to keep the.big kitchen range and the parlor base-burner supplied during the year. After the pile was + sawed and split in early spring, it became' a boy's task to use the wheelbarrow and take the wood to the woodshed for stacking. ata There is something appealing-about an old woodshed. "I'he floor is deep with litter-bits of wood, bark, sawdust, and debris. There is a peculiar satisfying smell to it--a dry, acrid, pungent aroma com- pounded of dust and the different varieties of wood. Toad after load comes in, and one 'carefully builds the tiers higher 'and higher. The "the tier will be firm and solid. The big, gnarled, knotty chunks for the parlot burner go into a heap in. one corner; small stuff for kindling goes into another. And, of course, 'along about ten+o'clock. or. so, if a young man smells the spicy, tantalizing fragrance of hot fingerbread of the blartd, inviting aroma of freshly fried doughnuts; i is "taken Yor. granted that he will go to-the kitchen to see how Mother is coming chore time arrives, a countryman takes pleasure at day's efid in the sight of the good fuel ready for future use, than sprouting potatoes or cleaning to be fitted against each other so the routine farm tasks, but when' * "Cured By | Bagpipes : Eight years ago Elmer Har~ ford, formerly 'of Edinburgh, sustained a war injury that left him with a stiff right knee. A series of medical examinations revealed no injury, but he con- +imed walking with a very stiff eg. ile ~ Some nights ago he went to a hall where the Highland pipers of the Capetown .Caledonian So- clety were practising a reel. Suddenly a girl friend seized 'him and began to dance him round the hall. 3 'When Harford returned to his seat he found himi®l walking with no trace of stiffness. His stift' knee was perfectly flexible 'and when ' the-next dance was announced: he whirled happily into it with his partner. To-day his knee is as flexible as it was before - the war., The bagpipes healed it, although - there some low Sassenachs who night think the curé worse than the disease, at that. { . & few cents "Order your chicks and turkeys before -- Guelph 'URESS CONN BALYE_ For, aire CLASSIFIED "BABY CHICKEN i 2 COMEDIVAY TT VALURB | That is what you get when you purchase Tweddle chicks.
