In fact we wouldn't be t«o greatly surprised if, by the time these words poke their heads up in print. Baseball wi ' already have de- .cided that it can get along without Lippy Leo just as well, or even better. * * • Durocher will be missed, beyond the shadow of a doubt; but missed after the manner of the old lady whose big family of sons and daugh- ters had all grown up and left her. "Don't you miss them?" inquired a sympathetic visitor. "Don't you want them back?". The 'old lady thought over this proposition for a space. "Yes, I misses 'em and I wants 'em" she slowly answered. "But somehow or other I misses 'em a whole lot more than I wants em. * « * Now we're not going to deny that, in his day, Durocher was a good, scrappy ball-player, of the type that battles till the last out and even afterward. The whole trouble seems to be that he suffers from an occupational disease espe- cially common to athletesâ€" the sort of disease which, unless drastic measures are taken promptly, be- comes steadily worse with the pas- sage of time. Phychiatrists call it "delusions of grandeur." In the bay-rum and canned-heat set we refer to it as "swelling of the noggin". * * * Durocher has recently blasted his way into the ranks of authorship^ move over, Mr. Shakespeare please! â€"with an autobiographical tome en- titled '"The Dodgers and Me"; and it is this volume which, unless all the signs and portents are strictly haywire, will before long be the cause of his permanent divorc; from the game which gave him a full measure of prominence and pelf. And no wonder either. Leo pro- fesses to love Baseball with an un- dying devotion. Baseball might very well reply in the words of the old song, "It's all very well to dis- â- emble your love, but why do you kick me downstairs?" * * « For in his first, and we trust last. literary opus Durocher portrays practically everybodj' connected with the gameâ€" himself and Branch Rickey, in that order, excepted â€" as being more or less closely connect- ed with the genus pediculus, or as they'd phrase it at The .\rts and Letter Club, just plain lousy. Only he and his boss emerge from the morass of Durocher's prose pure and unspotted; and when it comes to Rickey the author daubs on the whitewash and gold leaf with such a lavish hand that it is even more sickening than his smears of a" the others. * * ^ Take, for e.xaniple, his treatment of Babe Ruth, Durocher suspected that Ruth wanted to be manager of The Dodgers â€" a job which Leo doesn't hold at the moment, but for which he had secret ambitions. Words passed between the two. and Ruth threatened Durocher with bodily violence. * • * "I leaped off my seat," writes the author tersely. "We tangled." What Leo somehow overlooks mentioning is that, at the moment of the tang- ling. The Babe was sitting on a chair, and that Leo courageously pushed him into a locker. * * * Frank i Frisch, Bobo Newsom, Luke Hamlin, Burleigh Grimes, Casey Stengel, Larry McPhail, and Uncle Robby Robinson are just a few of the many who are held up to the light by the budding author â€" and the light is always murky and unflattering, to say the least. Even when he profe.«ses to admire a man, there's ever the touch of the tar- brush. "Grimes, although I was strong for the guy, was not exactly a streamlined manager either. He always kept a red handkerchief in his hip pcket and gave his signals with it." is a sample of what we nieaii. . * t " Vou can almost d- * ct the tears in the author's eyes when he de- picts the perfidy of Frankie Frisch, with whom he had been especially palsy. "I felt as if I had been hit on the jaw with a pitched ball," is how he describes his feelings at finding out that Fri.sch wanted to trade hiiu away to Brooklyn. This, from Durocher, who only a few weeks ago traded Stanky to The Braves for no other reason than that Eiklie was too popular with Dodger fans and who â€" at the time of the Frisch incident, was trying to grab off Frankie's job as Cardi- nal's Jiianager. * * * However, you must read it all for yourself â€" some time when you land in a hotel room that isn't even equipped with a (iideon Bible. Space limitations prevent us from giving jpou any more of this masterpiece of ill-concealed venom, back biting and sell-ad\ilation. .As one review- er put it, "When Leo got through he must have had a terrible Charley- horse from patting himself on the back." â€" which just about snms it up. New Power Plantâ€" Crews work hard on the new $20,000,000 Ontario Hydro power project in the northland on the Mississagfi River. On top of Knob Hill workers drill rock for founda- tion of concrete mixing plant. One slip here and a man would topple to almost certain death in canyon." New roads have been built for trucks carrying away the tons of rock blasted from rugged walls between which the river still foams freely. In foreground is newly built bridge. Main dam site is at right in this picture. What Goes On In The World By Norman Blair Russia Does Russia really and truly want peace? That is the $64 question when it co.ai to vvorld affairs; and a highly e.xperienced observer of such things, especially as they apply to th- Land of the Soviets, answers it in this manner â€" "Russia would really md truly like peace â€" for a w! ile '. T'^e goes on to point out the reasons why this is so. Here are some of them. 1. ^he great masses of people do not t war â€" this is as true c ' Russia as of any other nation. After the long and fierce struggle of the last war, their nerves are still o'l edgi and they want a rest. 2. Russia is no more ready for war than the United States. Coal, steel and oil production are still far below the mark; and b cause of shortage of tr s the agricultural output is nothi ig like what Moscow wants. 3. Tho people of the Soviets need a period of rela.xation. There is plenty of dissatisfaction and grumbl- ing â€" under 'le surface, of course, _ regardin the shortage of consumer goods. With a period of peace as- s red, much manpower could be releas ' from the rmed services to help industry and agriculture. Without any wa. , since the V Ita Cinferenc Moscow has been extending its control over the entire area east of the Trieste-Stettin line, t 'le exception of Greece and, to a certain extent. Finland. Entire political and econoniic systems have been s\\ r t away. It would be more convenient for Moscov to have a period of calm i' which to consoli- date ;'!'â-  â-  ehangs. These are som>- of the reasons this observer gives for believing that the Krerrttifr. really wants ^eace â€" for a wh''e7«ut he hasn't mentioned on> that ' ight le more powerful than all these p t together. Rela- tions between Britain and the United States have been strained 1 1 a grievo- degree by what has gone on in Palestine. The Russians are well awarj of this, and are watching t' situation closely, h'-ping* â€" no doubt â€" that the .Arab-Israel wed, wii, drive these two great nations still further apart. With discord between the West- ern .Mli- Russia's chance for real world domi ation would be ever so much better. So perhaps Mr. Stalin was sincere when he said he'd be glad to enter into discussions with the Unite' States â€" maybe he figure, hat, at this juncture, the "waiting game" is the best one for Russii to play. Great Britain M Scarborou" in 'V.'orkshire. the British Labor Party held its third annual convenij -n since coining into oftic- back in July, l')-45. Men and women connected with the move- ment gathered together to take stock, jint with pride, and air their grievances. ..s is the custom with Br'tish political parties. Mor- than 1200 delegates, repre- senting something like five million Laborites. were in attendance; and as a New York correspondent put it, "The men at Scarborough were , no collection of street-corner agita- tors or Socialist soapbox orators^ They felt the .sobering responsibili- ties of office." The mood that characterized the meeting was, in general, one of pride. Statements that full employ- mc!" had relieved the working classes of fears of hunger that hauiitei' it since the industrial re- volution « ere recicved with cheers and applause. In three years Labor had achieved nationalization of the Bank of England, of civil aviation, of transport, coal, electricity, rail- ways and overseas communication. It had passed 'egislation for free rnedical service to all Britons, for reform in Parliamentary represen- tation, together with liberation of India, Burma, Prkistan and Ceylon. .â- \lthough- there were several clashes one group demanded that Britain should "deolare its indepen- dence from the United States", when it came to t'.e close of the conven- tion, party unity seemed strong. Government leadership was firmly in the saddle. But in spite of this, there are signs that Labor may be getting ready to make some conces- sions to the middle-class viewpoint. One of these was in Herbert Morri- son's statement that once the nation- alized programs already under way â€" such as iron and steel â€" are com- pleted, nothing further along this line is contemplated. Such concessions point to the fact t' at 1950 is not so far off â€" and that the heads of the Labor Party realize that when election time rolls around, it will need plenty of votes from outside its own ranks if it is to re- main in power. The Middle East While the British Government says it has no further interest in Palestine e.xcept as a member of the L'uited Nations, actually the British are stiU deeply involved, not only in the Holy nd, but in the entire Mi'MIe East. Tl'ere are, for example, Britain's treaties with Trans-Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt, to say nothing of her close connections with the balance of the Moslem world, stretching through Southern .\rabia and Iran to Pakistan. Involved in some of these connections are monetary sub- sidies, provisions for arms, and the loan of British officers to train and CO" land native forces. Exercising an unheard but still dominant role in the matter is Middle Eastern oil. Then there are the British Imperial bases, starting at Gibraltar and ending at .\den, also t' necessity of keeping the Red Sea, the S'"z Canal and the Mediterranean open to the British Empire. All this means that in the eyes of British Foreign Office dignitaries RELIEF FROM ECZEMA A Lady writM: I hod Ecttmo btMfc oal on my Its and Iritd olmoit wacythlng, bul II did no good.

MECCA OINTMENT ISSUE 24 - 1948 nothing is of much greater import- ance than the retention of Arab friendship. When forced to a choice in 1939, as war approached, Britain swung to the .^.rab side; and, whether consciously or not, that seems to be what she is doing now. Mr. Bevin for one, never con- cealed his dislike for partitioning Palestine, nor his sympathy with the Arab case. Nor has the Foreign Secretary concealed his resentment toward President Truman and American Jewry, whom he blames for the failure to achieve a compro- mise in Palestine. Only recently the powerful Manchester Guardian said, "One cannot quite avoid the suspicion that Mr. Bevin has a cer- tain pleasure in making things as awkward as possible for the United Nations." Ontario to Have More Game Fish An extensive program of fisheries research is being undertaken in Algonquin Park through the co- operative support of the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests, the L'niversity of Toronto aijd the On- tario Research Commission. The investigation is directed towards an understanding of the factors respon- sible for the produciion of game fish in Ontario's northland waters. * » ♦ For many years the laboratory and resident Park staff liave co- operated in the planting of speckled trout yearlings into a larse number of lakes. Few ins-tances of definitely improved fishing resulted from this procedure. In later years, the plant- ing program has beer reduced to the planting of marked fish iiitfl a few lakes, which did show improvement previously, and the experimentafi in- troduction of fry and yearling, trout into feeder streams, small perman- ent streams in which trout could he expected to remain for, at least a year before moving down to the lakes.
