The Hanover Intermediate "B" GODOY GETS 3rd SHOT AT LOUIS Detroit, Dec. 6.--Promoter Mike lacobs announced last night that vyweight champion Joe Louls would defend his fitle for a third time against Arturo Godoy, the Chilean, at Los Angeles in April in the windup of Joe's "winter tour." Thus the rugged Godoy, who stayed the limit of fifteen rounds fn his first fight with Lous, will be the only man to face the Brown Bomber three times. Bob Paster tried his luck twice. Godoy, on his second chance, was knocked out. Louis opens his tour of five cham- pionship bouts against Al McCoy in Boston on Dec. 16, Promoter Jacobs said that Joe would meet Red Bur- man in New York in January; an unnamed opponent at Philadephia ,in February; and another yet to be selected at Detroit in March, These will be title fights, aseuming that Louis keeps the crown in each pre- ceding bout. this team from the Levack Giin Club of Levack, Ont., staged a closely fought battle for the Ontario title against the Brant Revolver & Rifle Club, Braatford, Ont., in the first round of the fourth annual Dominion Ontario's Champions in .22 Rifle Competition Posting the outstandfag score of 1,500 out of a possible 1,500 points, n Corres; : (Passed by Censor) SILKWORMS HELP To Give New Fabric to Great Britain South America has bought 1,000 kilos, & first order, of a new British material like spun silk. It is a mixture of spun silk and a long staple rayon specially pro- duced for it and blended from half of each. The aim is the production of yarns and fabrics with, as far as -| possible, , all the properties of pure | spun silk. ged : _ As it is much cheaper' than the latter the new material is not only a contribution to Britajn's effort to reduce luxury consumption, but it permits the silk available after meeting heavy Government require- ments to go much farther.

Acting Squadron-Leader D. R. S. Bader, at present Acting Squadron-Leader to a Squadron from Canada. After an accident in 1931, he lost both legs, Squadron-Leader Bader was fitted with artificial limbs by one of the Desoutter brothers who have given Britain the world lead in making artificial limbs. When Mr. Marcel Desoutter lost a leg in an aeroplane accident in 1912 his brother Charles, an aeronauti- cal engineer, set to work and pro- duced the first light metal limb made of what was then the new duralumin alloy weighing 3%-412 Ibs. instead of the usual 7-10 lbs. A year later Mr. Marcel Desoutter re- i first hs. sumed flying and since that time no SO " fewer than 100,000 limbs have been | by British publishers supplied by the 'Desoutfer brothers to the' British Ministry of Pensions and to private patients all over the world. Ball-bearing mechanisms en= able the users to cycle, play tennis or golf, ride on horseback, drive a car, and even to ski. An astonishing feat of design is the artificial ankle which combines the joint and spring action of the foot in one neat me- chanical unit. Squadron-Leader Bader, the most distinguished user, won his D.8.O, by leading a squadron of Hurricanes which dived straight into a tightly packed formation of 70 to 100 enemy raiders and brought down 11 of them. "Squadron-Leader Bader is an ex- ceptional patient," says Mr. E. R. Desoutter. "He learned to use his limbs very quickly indeed and soon developed many special tricks, such as turning backward somersaults."

A record en- try of 1,533 marksmen competed on a total of 219 teams from all over | Canada. The Levack marksmen success= fully competed against 40 other On- tario teams to win the title and will compete about the middle of December against the eight other provincial titleholders for the Do- minion Marksmen Challenge Shield and national title, it was announc- ed from the Montreal headquarters of the Dominion marksmen organ- ization. Results of the national finals will be known and the 1940 Dominion titleholders crowned be- fore the end of the year. Competing in the nation-wide | the best teams in the country, the Levack shooters staged a closely- fought battle for the Ontario title against the Brant Revolver & Rifle Club, Brantford, Ont. Both squads posted a score of 1,500 points--a perfect score -- but the Levack shooters were awarded an X-ring decision over the Brantford team after having placed the higher number of shots within the rarely- used X-ring within the bull's-eye. The Levack team scored 125 X-ring shots in the inner bull's-eye, meas- uring approximately one-half inch in diameter, while the Brantford club made only 120. Ladies Do Well A feature of the nation-wide competition this year was a special ladies' championship which reveal- ed some outstanding shots among the so-called weaker sex. Marks- women of the Brantford, Ont., Rev= olver and Rifle Club headed the eastern zone with a score of 1,490 x 1,500, which put them out in front of 15 other teams. In the western zone, ladies of the Calgary Rifle Club topped the list with a perfect score of 1500 points, The person- nel and individual scores of the ladies' championship team from the Brant Revolver and Rifle Clup were: Mrs. Nancy Lehto, 300 x 300; Miss Ruth Rowley, 295; Miss Gladys Shorter, 300; Miss C. Rouse, 296; Mrs. G. E. Henthorn, 209; spares--Miss Frances Rouse, 294; Miss J. Rouse, 282. Designed primarily to organize the army of sporting rifle enthus- fasts who had been spending their time taking pot-shots at impromptu targete around the countryside, the Dominion marksmen competition this year has disclosed some re- markable scores. The first round just completed has brought to light the development of some expert, hitherto unknown, marksmen in many sections of Canada. ' Champions In Again Defending the Dominion title thie year are the sharpshooters of the Calgary Rifle Club of Calgary, Alberta, who have successfully de= fended their provincial erown for the third year in succession, thus presenting a decided threat in the 1940 finals.

Hum- The Family Circle By KATHERINE O'NEILL Life is made up, not of great sac- rifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations given habitually are what win and preserve the | heart and secure comfort. | Sir H. Davy | THE AGREEABLE EMPLOYEE | An executive in charge of the | personnel of a large organization | was asked what qualification he valued most in an employee--ablil- | ity, personal appearance, good ad- | dress, loyalty. His reply was somewhat of a sur- prise, for he promptly answered | that what he valued most was an | agreeable, decile disposition. "Needless to say", he went on, "every business concern values an | employee with marked ability. Every | firm likes to be represented by al person of good appearance and ad- dress--angd of course no firm would knowingly keep on itg roster an em- | ployee whose lc ity was in fount { Still, personally, from the point of view of an executive, I value the employee with an agreeable, docile | disposition--an employee who will | take all work assigned to him or | ber with good grace, no matter how tedious, or possibly menial and be- neath their dignity it may be. 'You have no idea," he continued. | "how some employees 'take it out' of an executive. They will do what | they consider 'their' work conscien- | tiously and well, but just let a rush | of work come along that must be | distributed throughout the office, | and it is surprising how they 'colc- shoulder' their §hare, and 'stall' on | it, so that they will not be open for a further allotment." "The employee who is agreeable and docile may not be the most brilliant member of the staff, but he more than makes up for his de- ficiences by whole-heartedly coon- erating with an executive. He cheerfully accepts the tasks as- signed in the attitude that what is expected of him is 'all in the day's work,' and must be attacked with alacrity and finished with despatch. "This quality of being agreeable and docile is what has put Will . . where he is today," the executive went on, referring to the Secretary Treasurer of a certain well-known financial firm. "Will was the least brilliant and likely of all the young men in the Trust Company twenty years ago, but whereas the brilliant ones showed by their attitude that they did not relish the 'office-boy' tasks their executive sometimes wished upon them, Will could al- ways be depended upon to promptly and courteously reply "Yes, Cer- tainly, Sir," to any requirements made upon him. Consequently as his executive rose in prominence and prestige, Will rose with him, until now he is Secretary-Treasur- er of the organization his former executive founded. "Young men and women in of- fices and shops seem to be afraid they will be imposed on if they are willing and agreeable, and so they develop a 'don't ask me'. attitude that is very trying," the executive concluded, "so that is why I appre- ciate -and will always give promotion to the employee who is agreeable and docile." Decay and Food Spoilage Are Natural The constant enemy of man's food is spoilage. Food spoilage is a phase of the natural process of decay. De- cay is nature's method of breaking down dead plants and dead animal bodies into simple substances that return to and become incorporated in the soil. New plants use these substances for growth and when they die, decay occurs and they re- turn to the soil. Animals eat plants which are foods to them. When they die, decay occurs to enrich the soil so that new plants and new animals can l.7e.
