THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1940 -$ PAGE SEVEN Montreal and Tigers Still Retain Hopes Hope springs eternal so far as football players sié concerned, wich is the reason why the Big Pour teams of Montréal and Ham- lton still believe there is a chance of making the two-téam league playoff. Hardly a football fan in the east would give a woodén nickel for suéh & thing toe happen, yet the teams themselves refuse to be counted out despite the fact only a | mirdsulous combination of events eould make it so. Here is the setup: Toronto Argo- nauts and Ottawa Rough Riders, with four games gone, are tied for top place with six points. Hamilton Tigers and Montreal's unnamed team likewise are led with two points apiece, having victories against each other. - The Tigers, to get a playoff chance, musty defeat both Riders and Argonauts and have the hélp of a Montréal vietory over one of the two leading teams. It's the same way with the Montreal team, whieh pelieves that it can take both Ottawa and Toronty and is count- ing on a Hamilton victory Yo help out. But despite these Hamilton and Montreal hopes, the way seems cléar for both Toronto and Ottawa to finish out the season with two more victories over the cellar teams and wind up in a tie for first place. In the Ontario Rugby Football Union Toronto Balmy Beach has a élear-out lead, being the only une defeated team in the east. The Beaches have won all four of their games. The big battle in the ORF. U. looms between Hamilton Alerts and Saraia 2-26 Battery. The Bate tery holds a point edge with two games to go. Lieut. Len Knowles Bags 22 "'Skeeters" At the week-end shoot, out at the Skeet and Gun Club headquarters, members of the club were glad to pte Lieut. Len Knowles, who was home on leave for the week-end and came out to have a round with the members. Len soon showed that he had not lost very much of his old skill in knocking down the birds. His score of 22 making him one of the high men for the shoot. Harry Palmer distinguished himself by winning the Grab Bag prize for highest over par. Bil! Trewin and Jim Carnwith tied for the Grab Bag for low score. Bob Ross took the Felt Trophy for high average. Scores: Neil Felt, 22; H. Palmer, 22 M. Moffatt, 19; Bob Ross, 10; W. Trewin, 14; Geo.

Col, Ralston announced that no general recruiting for the Canadian Active Service Force is anticipated for the time being, because 're- cruiting conditions have heen =o satisfactory." Some tradesmen and skilled workerz would be taken into Shite requiring them, but that was He expressed satisfaction with results of the compulsory military training scheme also, with the re- mark that "reports from the non- permanent ective militia training centres are most gratifying consid- ering the speed with whizh ar- rangements were made." 20 MORE TANKS REAGH BORDEN (Continued from Page 1) to 187. We received 177 tanks earlier this month . and over BO per cent of those are now being operated here by units of the Pirst Armored Brigade." The newest arrivals were very rusty, scaly, weather-beaten and not in as good condition as previ- ous shipments put that did not worry the veteran <oldier who has battled hard and long to make Canada tank-conscious: After paying special attention to ten spars motors and parts that tame along with the twenty tanks, the colonel remarked, "These tanks are hard-looking, old pelters, and stubborn gs Missouri mules, aren't they? But their looks don't matter. We'll have them running in a week or two, although there's no hurry for that, because we now have so many o'hers operating splendidly. And besides, it's wonderful training for the boys who have to take them apart to see why they don't tick.' All tanks reaching here from the United States are a last war Prench Renault type, built in the US, and on which National Guardsmen for use | were trained for several years. Al- though they are slow, some have exceeded expectations since being tuned-up here and are satisfactory for training purposes. Just sixteen more tanks are coming in the near (uture from the Unitéd States, Colonel Worthington said. These will be used for supply- ing spare parts only. 'Cannibal tanks is what he calls these extras Some of thé boys who rassle with the balky steel brutes called them far worse. The Mystery of Animal Suffering Amorg lifé's unsolved mysteries, and there are many of them, is that which the age-long, unrequitted suf. ferings ot animals raises.

Innocent of guilt they have suffered like the guilty. What man sows he reap, the harvest bringing so often shame and woe to the hound up with him in the bundle life. There is little mystery about that suffering endured by beast and bird --how sha!l we reconcile it with a moral order of the world based upon | _justice and mercy? 1s there ground for us to believe {hat the nervous organism of the enimal is such that its sensitiveness | to pain is so much less than 'our | own that it cannot know suffering as we know it?

THREE MILLION BIBL rs Bibles, to the colossal total of nearly 3,000,000 copies a year, are still being exported from Great Britain In war time to all parts of the world. The biggest buyer of the Bible and of single Books from Old and New Testament are the peoples of the British Empire within which it is circulated in all appropriate languages, including Zulu, Kaffir and Afrikaans. Single Books. such as the Gospels or the Psalms, can be bought for as little as a penny. On the other hand fine editions of the Bible itself are always in de- mand at prices as high as £3 Of this vast export of Holy Writ, 1,700,000 copies have gone out dur- Ang the last 12 months in foreign languages. War has stopped Bible exports to France and other enemy territories. After the Empire demand for Bi- bles, come the South American Republics to which Bibles are ex- ported from Great Britain in Span- ish and Portuguese.

R. W. Timbrell of Vancouver, from the sunken Canadian destroyer Margaree, Naval Service Head- quarters last night disclosed details of the officer's exploits at Dunkirk, which won him the Distinguished Service Cross. "Not content merely with accept- | ing a 'limited responsibility, the young Canadian showed great cour- age and initiative in salvaging and manning stranded craft and trip- ling the number of men he would ordinarily have been able to evacu- ate," the Navy statement said.
