While naturally the Whitby crew have a better record on the season's play having won nine games and lost none the Oshawa team is playing in a supposedly tougher league and are reportedly a match for any Jr. "C" team in the league, O.H.A.

John Kerr was in his teens when he left his home in Perth, Ont. for the Red River country, Mrs. Sissons compiled the book from stories she had heard her uncle re- late and also from a detailed and descriptive diary he kept during his years in Manitoba. An account of the Riel rebellion and the arrest of Lepine, Riel's right-hand-man, are related from John Kerr's diary. Kerr was one of three constables who took part in the Lepine arrest. Buffalo, now almost extinct and known chiefly as the emblem of Manitoba, young Kerr first journeyed to the province. His diary tells of a night stampede of 500,000 of the huge animals breath of the laboring buffalo could be heard as nearer and yet nearer they rushed--horn crackling against horn." , After witnessing some of the In- dian treaties, Kerr returned to On- tario where he died in 1940 at the age of 89.

He hustled off down the crowded deck to lock up Sergeant Mullins, "Hey, Sarge," he yelled, "you remember on Bataan 1 bummed a buck off you?" "As though I'd ever forget it," the sergeant growled. "Gosh, it's my lucky day," Cor- poral Brown continued, "so I'm cleanin' up my debts. Here's your buck!" He held out the new $1 bill he got from Private Dale, Sergeant Mullins crooned over that bill and cried: "Gosh am 1 glad! Long since I kissed that buck goodbye!" The sergeant pocketed the bill and skipped over to the ship com- missary. After downing sundry liquid refreshments, hz gave the new $1 bill to the commissur clerk, "There, big boy; a buc smack off the press. Keep it as a souvenir." But the clerk didn't keep it, just put it in the till, and later slipped it to Lieutenant Hanson as part «change for a five. The Lieutenant was strolling along the top deck when he bumped into Captain Salter. They chatted awhile, Then the captain recalled: "By the way, Hanson, that ket knife 1 loaned you--did you ike it?" "Sure did!" replied Lieutenant Hanson, "I'd like to buy it. Will you take a dollar for it?" "Well now--1'd as soon give 1t to you, but since you mention payment . . .' "I'd rather buy it," the lieuten- , ant said, and peeled a $1 bill from his roll; the same new $1 bill that first came from Private Dale. "There you are, Captain; thanks for a bargain." Captain Salter pocketed the bill and walked aft. There he came upon a group of soldiers-- Private Dale, Corporal Blake, Sergeant Mullins, and the commissary clerk.

There was also mention of the Duke of Windsor which. recalled » stormy debate in the Australian 'parliament during the abdication crisis 10 years ago and Labor's support of the Duke's stand. -The Duke of Gloucester and his family were widely publicized and practically every day newspapers carried stories about their life at Yarralumla, the official residence in Canberra, The Duke's extensive travels through the country were made possible by his use of a specially- fitted, four-motored Avro-York place manned by a Royal Austral- fan Air Force crew, The Duke made his return trip to Britain in the plane, The Duchess, Prince William, five, and two- year-old Prince Richard returned by sea. The Dyke and Duchegs came to Australia early in 1945, The Duke had toured Australia 10 years be. for and his appointment as Zov- ernor was welcomed in the coun- try though Australian Labor gov- ernment policy is to seek Austral- ians to fill the posts of governor- general and governors of the indi- vidual states. . About a year 'after its estab- lishment at Yarralumla, tha vice- regal household was on the fringe of a labor dispute when the Can- berra 'Trades and Labor Council imposed a boycott on Brig. Derek Schreiber, the Duke's chief of staff. Later, industrial disputes whieh prevailed during their term in- truded on a visit by the Duke and Duchess to the New South Wales industrial centre of Port Kembla, south of Sydney. Members of five unfons vith Communist offi- cers refused invitations to a re- ception given the Duke and Duch- ess and the incident was widely publicized. la In his farewell broadcast, the Duke said he regarded Australia as a "young country with all the promise and hope of youth."* "In a country of such vast areas," he said, "it is often not possible for people in different walks of life to' meet each other personally, but :t is possible to understand each others' problems and difficulties, "It is inevitable that we must criticize and judge each other at times, but let us try to'make our judgments constructive and well- informed, If there is goodwill and a sincere desire for uni'y and prosperity for all, the team spirit cannot fail to flourish." COAL EXPORTS DOWN FROM WELSH PORTS Swansea, Wales, Jan. 30--(Reu- ters)--South Wales ports handled 11,000,000 tons of imports and ex- ports in 1946, the Great Western Railway reported. This was 1,000,- 000 fewer than in the previous year. A record for iron ore import was set in 1946 and prewar exports in iron and steel were exceeded. Only 5,400,000 tons of coal were shipped, however, againts pre-war standard of 19,000,000 tons. Today's Short Story $40,000 Paid By Program ° By EDWARD CHANTLER Canadian Press Staff Writer To the lady in the eighth row--a brand new, shiny silver dollar! And, look madam, if you think it's been a cinch finding 40,000 sil- ver dollars in the last nine years you're a silly. . Besides, such an attitude would pain producer-writer Jack Murray, for those tinkling bits of realm coin have been among his major griefs since he brought "Treasure Trail" to the airwaves nine years ago. You see, says Jack, during the last few years one just couldn't go into a bank and say "slip us a few hundred sil'er bucks, old boy." "Brother, it took some scroung- ing. Why last year we just about cornered the market," he said. He was lucky, though, and by hard work managed to get a "kitty" of 3,000 to help keep the program's pot of silver a'oil. Claiming well onto 2,000,000 re- gular listeners, Producer Murray locked up his cash register to tell of his program's success: During its years of broadcasting, the show has received more than 25,000,000 letters from listeners (or some hundreds of thousands in re- venue to Canada's post office, sirs). To the program studio audiences it has paid out $40,000 in silver, and to the listening audiefices upward of $100,000. And starting in March, "Treas- ure Trail" will expand to set up four separate shows outside of On- tario covering the Maritimes, Que- bec, the Prairies and British Col- umbia. Toronto school pupils will be giv- en extra-curricular lessions in his- tory of their city by a series of broadcasts over station CJBC, start- ing Thursday, Feb. 6.

Topis to be discussel will include early Toronto history, education of the future and pupil views on the city school system. Concert pianist Neil Chotem, who made his musical debut at the age of seven in Saskatoon, found his technique a bit out of place in an R.CAF, station dance band. Not at all put out, he learned to play bocgie, therefore changing his career no end.

Whitehall Votbook By JAMES M:COOK Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Jan. 30 -- (CP) -- The Liberal party, worth 2,250,000 votes in the 1945 general election, up 1,- 000,000 from 1935, has disturbed both Conservative and Labor part- ies--something they did not think it capable of doing. The Labor government attitude has been that the I.iberals, repre- sented in the Commons id only 11 members, were pretty safely in sup- port of most Socialist doctrines and would cause no trouble. The Con- servatives took the attitude that the Liberal Nationals--there are 13 in the House--represented true Liber- alism and of course would vote with the Conservatives on every occas- ion. Now there are evidences of a split in Liberal opinion and instead of a Liberal reviva] there may be a di- vision under which some will swing towards the Conservatives and oth- ers towards Labor. Some Liberals think the govern- ment is doing well in bringing in legislation to nationalize transport; others think it is going too far. If the Libera] party is to divide over nationalization and other is- sues, then the Labor and Conserva- tive planners at once must be on the alert to pick up as many new recruits as possible, But if the Liberal party is to stay united and go trumpeting about the country with a policy critical of the more extreme Labor moves but still somewhat left of the Conservatives, then it may begin collecting serious numbers of supporters. Whatever happens, there will be no more comments like those of Alan W. Grey, chairman of the Junior Conservatives Uxbridge di- vision, who said publicly: "The Liberals in Britain today are strikingly similar to the fleas in Ireland--people are just too kind- hearted to kill them." NYLON UNION Kingston, Jan. 30 -- (CP) -- By a vote of 242 of 443 eligible voters, em- ployees of the Canadian Industries Limited nylon plant here yesterday elected to be represented for col- lective bargaining by the Canadian Chemical Division, district No. 50, United Mine Workers of America (CIO). PIRIN ST-- SURE FA GENUINE ASPIRIN MARKED THIS WAY Reich Medicine Lags Far Behind London, Jan, 30--(CP) -- Public health methods and training in - Germany are about 15 years behind those in Britain, says Dr. Victor Riddell, Harley Street surgeon who recently visited the British occupa= tion zone. Graft and favoritism were com- mon and much of the time of mili- tary government officers was taken up with combatting these influences left over from the Nazi regime. German doctors knew nothing of recent British and United States advances in medical science. Practice of surgery in Seman also compared unfavorably th that in Britain, Canada and the United States. Methods of admin- istering anaesthetics, for example, were "primitive." But German sur- geons believed themselves highly competent. Following an enormous number of "unnecessary" amputations dur- ing the war, there was a great shortage of artificial limbs. About 30,000 men were said to have under- gone amputations in Berlin alone. Dr. Riddell suggested considera- tion should be given toward prov- iding an opportunity for promising young German medical students to take part of their training in Brit- ain under some system of travelling scholarships.
