The Board of Directors extend 3 high and spread his legs, and Williamson slid through to score the winning counter! Unfortunate indeed was the sad experience of Bill Hicks, who played outfield for Pitcairn, Pa. round about 1906. Bill went after a foul fly, but he had to go up an embankment onto. a railroad spur to snag it. The instant he caught the ball, a locomotive struck him and killed him instan- ly. But when they found him, he hadn't dropped the ball. So the out went into the, records. Even scorekeeping can be dangerous, we hasten to warn Vern Busby. One time in Mor- ristown, Ohio, a lad named Stan- ton Walker found his pencil needed sharpening during the late innings, He asked the man next to him for a knife. Stanton had just started to whittle when the batter drilled a hard foul that struck his hand and drove the knife blade into his heart. But all the old anecdotes are not tragic. Fellows like Crazy Schmidt helped keep fans chuck- ling. Crazy got into an alterca- tion with a fan one time, was charged with throwing a brick at him. The judge asked how he was pleading. "Not quitly," de- clared Crazy. "The fact that the plaintiff is alive today fs evi- dence that T didn't throw a brick at him. With the perfect con- trol I've always displayed throw- ing baseballs, if I'd throwed a brick at this fellow I'd certainly have killed him dead!" Case dis- Occupational Melange What is there about the legal profession that inspires a young man or woman to adopt it as a life work? What special attri- utes must one have to become a competent veterinarian, other than a love of animals? is occupational enough money to support a wife and family? These and countless other questions were asked and ans- wered last Thursday night as scores of Oakville-Trafalgar high school students and their parents jammed six class rooms to hear 1 7speakers discuss as many oc- cupations and professions. It was the school's "Career Wight," an annual event that is arousing in- creasing interest among the lads and lasses who will soon have a big decision to make. Actually, no one got to hear every speaker. The program was divided into three series of six lectures each, and the idea was that each student should select three careers that most appeal- listen to Len Hope detail the advantages and disadvantages of becoming a pharmacist then move on to another room to hear Homes and Gardens Magazine staff architect J. F. Caulfield Smith express his views on ar- chitecture, finally ending up at a nursing lecture by Miss Alma Reid of McMaster University. Only drawback in the general scheme of things, fro ma repor- torial viewpoint, was that frus- trating inability to be more than one place at a time with so much going on. The Journal observer therefore chose to listen to prin- cipal H. H. Kérr, of the Ryerson Institue of Technology, who outlined the highlights of a wide variety of occupations, He then dropped in to hear Ken W. Mac- Taggart discuss journalism-- partly because he had always wondered ho wone would ex- Pupils Ponder Possibilities Ryerson Institute as the "newest Principal Kerr, who described KEN W.

Due to govt. support of the in- stitute, annual tuition fees amounted to only $53 a year, he revealed. One and two year cour- ses and three year courses in some instances --are available in such varied occupations as elec- tronics, costume design, draught- ing, industrial chemistry, food administration, horology, general mechanics, printing and publish- ing, and many other fields. Others who discussed their particular professions were Dr. Cameron McArthur, Dr. W. A. Campbell principal G. L. Wood- ruff of Hamilton Normal school, John F. Isard, G. Atkins, Major F. G. C.

"But our truck will pick up any furniture that residents can spare from their homes to help us furnish the two apart- ments the hospital has secur- ed for nurses to live in at the Mayfair." He said rugs, lamps, chesterfields, tables and pic- tures were needed for two liv- ingrooms; and bedroom furni- ture for two single rooms and two double rooms. "All we need for the Kitchens pans erators and stoves now." He asked anyone who could spare suitable furniture to call 800 and the truck will call. -- A Complete Investment Service BONDS STOCKS on all Exchanges MACRAE AND COMPANY Investment Dealers 80 King St. W.--Toront, PHONE: EL 3374 plain newspaper work to a group of eager prospective newshawks missed.

"A newspaperman's job," de- clared Mr. MacTaggart, "is to report objectively what happens. He acts as representative of the people who can't go to the fire, or méeting, or ball game. Those people want to know what hap- pened, and he must tell them what happened--not his own opinion of what took place. A man who is unable to keep his opinions out of his reporting nev- er makes a good reporter. Even top editorial writers and feature writers, who can express opin- fons, are reporters in the begin- ning, So an unbiased, completely objective viewpoint is the most important attribute of a budding journalist." Although he admitted a dency on the part of some Can- adian and U.S. papers to sensa- tionalize news stories, Mr. Mac- Taggart contended that the trend in recent years has been toward objectivity and truth. "Once up- on a time, a reporter would write ten that friends were regretfully mourning the loss of John Smith, prominet grocer. He wrote that way, even though John may have been n friendless reprobate. Now he writes that John Smith died, and follows with the facts he knows about John Smith care- fully refraining from expressing what he thinks of the gentle- man, The same trend is noted in all reporting," he stated A newspaperman must hold public confidence in himself and in his work, he sald. A success- ful rgporter who keeps these fa- tors in mind can look forward to a particularly interesting career in which the monetary returns have steadily increased during recent years, he concluded.
