^ ^ $7O,OC0 BUU. ARRIVES IN CANADA ^ i 0^ 3( X A â- *) â- 4 THE BABY BRIDEGROOMâ€" PITTODRIE UPRIGHT Five hundred dollars wouldn't buy a hair on the tail of Pittodrie Upright, a shorthorn bull which has arrived in Saint John, N.B.. from Scotland. Known to Scotsmen as the "baby bridegroom."' Pittodrie Upright cost his owner. Ralph Smith, Missouri rancher and lumber king, nearly $70,000, and the total bill will probably amount to $100,000 before he takes up residence at the Sni-a-Bar ranch. Insurance alone cost about $:.000. To justify his owner's huge investment, young Upright is e.xpected to produce 50 to 70 calves a year, and his breeding life is e.xpected to last about six or seven years. Down in Missouri he will hob-nob with pedigree short- horns of aristocratic breeding from Scottish herds. Owner Smith hopes that he will promote U.S. commercial cattle of the finest quality in the rich Missouri valley land. Meanwhile. Upright hopes that his reputation as "the best shorthorn bull in all Scotland" will carry some weight in the U.S. SPOTS OF SPORTS •â- â- Â»>»»t»i Seems as though our Russian al- lies still have quit'e a long \vay to go before tliey caich on to proper sports etiquette, and learn the coi- rcct method ot" dealing with cert- ain sporting situations that crop up tVoni time to time. Kor here we have a Soviet soccer lean\ tliai travels to England, the very cr.TiUc of tlK game, and comes up with a mark of two wins, two ties, and nji lossrt against top-ranking O'-.l Country eluhs â€" truly a very smart record and one pro'uabiy never equalled. So v.Iiat do the Russians do: They go back iiome and I'ut the blast on the F.ngli^'i, accusing them of a cold receji- tioii. rough play, poor sportsman- ship and ; ' out seven other tliiny-;. none of tlicni coniplimcntarv . • « « Now a Canadian, or a Briti.-ii, or a United States team, travelling So. foreign climes, would never l)e guihy of rnytlnng like that. No imleeU! .\thletcs from those couturie.^:, with tlicir much longer tradition ot sportsmanship behind • them, would have saved tho>e 'kindi 01 squawks to use as an alil'i after some trip on which they got -the living lur heat ont of them. ' ♦ * • However, the whole thing is just one more chunk of evidence â€" if any were needed â€" as to tlie innnense value of international spoit competition in promoting brotherhood, amity and good-iei- lowship mong the peoples of tl:e world. So come on with those Olympic games! ^Ve can't hanlly wait. • » ' All tilings considered, pcjli.ips it Is just as well that those rickel\ old ilamiltoii Tigers knocked â- o'i Montreal Royals in three straiglu and arc not liable to be displaying their wares in these parts for a while. Down at Maple Lea! Gardens last Salrday you could see fans wandering around with thai dazed, 'How long has this been going on;' cxpressioi on then' pans: and it wouldn't take manv more samples ol the real hockcv the 'I'igers play to make a lot of folks suddenly wake up and hollev, "Hey, what is this stuff they've been feeding us these past tew vcars" " ♦ • » To ns the most interesting fea- ture of any sport is watching the antics of tho^e who follow itâ€"anl for that purpose the nol>Ie pastime of horse-racing tops them all hv many Icnsths. I'or The Siiort ol Kings seems to have sontctliing that brings out any latent streak of nnttincss in a fuller degree than anvtiiing else. ♦ ♦ • There was the man we knew, for instance, whose first action on entering the paddock at Woodbine was alwa} s to go and solemnly tub. I\is knuckles on the bark of a certain tree. He claimed that do- ing so brought him luck; and may- be it .did, although we recall th.it he was generally broke around ihi- fifth race every day, even as you and we. By FRANK MANN HARRIS â-  ("A Si.x Bit Critic") Then there was the lady who re- ligiously attended the races every day and never once, in ail the years we knew her, watched a single race â€" probably never tvcn set eyes on a horse. No matter whether it was a King's Plato or a ?rtiO claiming race, she would be down under the stand, in an alley- way leading to the miutiels, willi Iter eyes shut, clutching tiglu'.y in Iicr fist tlie ticket on the horse she had wagered on. pulling for it to come down in front. Watching her. you'd swear that she was suffering the tortures oi the da unblessed. She had plenty of i loney, and winning or losing her bets didn't make anv real diffcrcnco to her. Vet there she was, da\ after dt.y, track after track â€" in fact, the only way yoit could have kept licr away v\cuild be by main force. « • » .\nd â€" although he is by no means in the class of the nuts we have mentioned â€" we once knew a man wl.io, while he took an iti- tense interest in the start of every race, didn't give a hoot about ho\. lhe> iiiiished. * * « U was at Thornclift'e one after- noon that Marshall Cassidy â€" then the official starter on I'.aste.'.i Canadian tracks â€" -inviicd us to go over and watch him start a race over at the six furlong post. It was the fifth or si.xlh race of the- day: and on our way across the infield we happened to tnentioii something about the result of a previous race. To our amazcmcr.t Cassidy didn't know what hor>c had won that race â€" or any. of lb.: others. His business was lc> ge^ them away to a good start. .After that â€" well, he wasn't greatly in- terested. What Is A Subsidy And Who Pays It? .Ui^t as a natiiMial deln is some- thing we owe ourselves, so is a sub- sidy a ta.N that we all pay, says the Hamilton Spectator. It is often very much the concern of the poli- ticians that the iniblie should lUst iorgei that lael. but when they start falling over themselves in adjust, ments. then it is time to take note. Now that the subsidy ha> been taken off milk, it makes no differ- ence to the producer, but the con- >nnier pays the difference. Wlio was paying the difference before? "Government." of course: but our old friend "Government," using the taxpayers' viz., the consumers' mo- ney to pay it. The joyful tiling about it for "Government" is that anything that is not immedialely visible doesn't seem to bother peo- ple so much â€" until they suddenly wonder what's going on about their taxes and the cost of living. The average amount of electricity in a lightninig tlash is far less titan the amount that can be charged into a storage battery. The Farm Fo rum IT'S TRUE THAT... to meet the urgency of the world wheat situation, most coun- tries wtih substantial surpluses of wheat for export have applied, or are in the process of applying, various programs and controls de- signed to increase the total sup- phes moving into export channel*. Canada's contribution continues at a steady pace to the tune of 35 mil- lion bushels per month, with the United Kingdom holding a num- ber 1 priority. »' ♦ » â€" . penicillin has cured appro.xi- niately six out of every seven cows suffering from mastitis, or infla- mation of the udder. A germ, streptococcus agalactial, is respon- sible for the chronic infectious fonn of the disease. * * * as pointed out in a previoiu column, with the increased con- sumption of fluid milk, the pro- duction of butter would fall off considerably. This has been prov- en in the latest production reports. In Southern Ontario production as of the same dates in 1945, has droppeii off approximately 428,997 lbs. • • » potatoes v,ere looked upon as something unfit for food two centuries ago, at which time the nickname "SPL'D" was applied to our now major staple product. Did you know that S-P-U-D stands for the "Society for the Prevention of Unwholesome Diet"? HEADS NEWSPAPERS Phihp S. i'isher ot the Ottawa Citizen was elected president of tlie Canadian Weekly Newspaper as- sociacion at the annual meeting in Toronto. First vice-president is H. G. Kimber of the Toronto Globe and Mail: second vice-president is H. L. Garner of the Peterborough Examiner, and W. J. J. Butler of t'ne Globe and Mail was named treasurer. Railway Renamed Ontario Northland L hanging t'."c name of the reniis- kaining and Northern Ontario Rail- w a> to that, of the Ontario .Vortbland is designed to avoid confusion with another line in the United State-, with identical initials, says the Windsor Star. The new title however, is to l>e welcomed for otlier reast>ns. ri.e old name seemed to have a local, restrii.iive flavor. It bore the impression of an unimportant little spur line. V'- the Chitario \orthlan<l the road will carry. ;n its title, a sense of the broad cx- pan>es of the province. The words have a romantic ring, they display imagination that will he attractive to visitors. They are. in every way. better. UNO Incorrect It's Just U.N. Now Von may be accustomed to see- ing the Ciiited Nations Organiza- tion abbreviated to L'NO â€" but you can say farewell to the term right in thi-i sentence. The L'uitcd Na- tions has ruled that no siicl* abbre- viation correctly exists. The final "O" is out, for although the I'nited Nations is an organization, the word "organization" does not pro- perly api'ear in its title. From now on, at the request of I'nited Nations ofticials, tl'e ab- bre\iation will be U.X. Pronoimee it as you see fit, but don't mistake it for the negative prefix.

Scientists Hail Great Discovery Tlie dcnaturaiioii oi plutpnium and of nraiiiuiii-2o5, announced in Washington last week, is the great discovery that scientists have been hoping (or to make it possihic to produce atomic ponei. This discovery jnay mean that a piece of metal the ."iine of a water- melon will produce as much heal as hundreds of to..s of the uran- ium now used to make atomic fires. The huge atomic piles in Wasb- iugton slate, each about the bulk cf a small pyramid, produced enough heat nearly to equal the peak electric power expected from the Grand tJoiilce dam. tSut this atomic heat was useless for power because it was spread ovci such a large area. Heat that makes power, such as boiler fires, is concentrated iu a small area. It was not possible. V hen the war ended, to use a small amount of ur.-nium-235 or of Plutonium to make an atomic fire because such conce.itratet; piece* of cither metal would itist:,iitly ez- plode. Denaturing is described a» plode. but without stripping their rendering the metals unable to ck- ability to produce heat by the ex- plosion of their atonis. The discovery means that prob- ably a few hundred pounds of the purified metals will operate a large power plant for a year, or (or years, instead of the iniUions of tons of old-time fuels.
