C.A. Wheeiers took the short end of a 72-52 final score but con- sidering the odds showed rare form and aggressive play ail the way. To register 52 points against individual stars in every depart- ment, is something to talk about. The outstanding player in the contest was Arty Clemence who scored 37 points for the Wheelers in spite of the strongest kind of checking. His accuracy. in shoot- ing recalled his pitching on the Junior Basebail team wheiq he smoked the bail over the plate to win into the playdowns for the Ontario championship. Ray Rundie, 6' 3" a sub-forward last year, matched Gibson, 6' 5',, Toronto, at centre and there was not a weak spot on Wheeler's lineup. Features of Toronto play were the bail hand*ing of Moose Mc- Nair and Pat Shehan, the latter having piayed with Toronto Hus- kies. Toronto Y.M.C.A.: Stu Scott, Moose McNair, Curly Warren, Ed. Milton, Ted Poulton, Don Gib- son, Pat Shehan. Wheelers: Ray Rundile, Arty Ciemence, Bill Dadson, Jim Stutt, Ralph Mclntyre, P. Jackman, Bill Ruddell. Absent from the iineup were Jake Brown, Ross Gilbert and Don Mason who were out of town. Referee: Doc Ferguson. Time keeper, Deac Goddard.

On a business trip to New* Or- leans he saw natives and negroes being soid in the market-place as slaves. Although yet a young man he was shocked at the sight and determined .to stop this evil practice.. He clerked in a store for a time and then became post-master of the town. He was honest and upright and in his dealings earn- ed the name "Honest Abe." He went to Springfield saying good-bye to his many, friends and his step-mother whom he loved so much. After many years of hard work and study he became a lawyer. In 1842 he married. Mary Todd. He was taîl, was well buiît, had a homely face and wore ill-fitting clothes. Lincoln had a democra- tic appeal. He gave taiks and speeches at various places. He was voted ne- public candidate for the presi- dency. A split in the derrocnatic panty ruined the chances of Dou- glas and~ Lincoln became presi- dent-elect. He grieved when the country was piunged into a civil war 'but the siave-trade which he hated was abolishedý. Lincoln became a world. famous character but at heart was stili a boy of the backwoods, yet a great president, a fniend of man, especiaiiy the negro. Lincoin's as- sassination by a fanatic in 1865 Was mounned by flot only the the people of the United States but by the world at large. The immortal speech he made at Gettysburg was unexpectediy brief but showed his faith in the destiny of the people. The fol- lowing is part of that great speech: Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceiv- ed in liberty and dedicated* to the proposition that ail men are cre- ated equai. Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whe- then that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task re- maining before us, that this na- tion under God, shahl have a new birth of freedom and that gov- ernment of the people, by the people, for the people shallflot perish from this earth. Forums Receive Boost Over Radio Hook-up By National Secretary Speaking over a coast-to-coast radio hookup a few days ago the National Secretary of Farm Radio Forums, Ralph Stapies, gave a boost to these important factors in aduit education and at the same time put in a nice plug for the weekly press for its support of the Forums. We quote below what Mr. Stap- les had to say in this respect. In- cidentally, Mn. Stapies is a Dur- ham County boy, born in Cavan. He said in part: "There's another method of reaching people, panticuianiy those near home which we must not miss. We haven't everyone in Forums yet. Local weekly news- papers are a part of the commun- ity and they can be a big help. Many Forums are working with them now. The rest should. Send your local newspapens a report of forum meetings, particuiarly the finding on questions discussed and watch the papers for heipfui comment on forum topics. Cana- da's weekly newspapers are inter- ested in -rural people and their problems. I believe we could get a lot more forums going if farm forum were better understood. Farm for- um lives and gnows because peo- ple enjoy it. It's fun. It's easy too. You meet, you listen to the bnoad- cast, you discuss the questions provided, the secretany writes his report, you have a cup of tea and a sandwich. Everyone partici- pates. Everyone has a good time. If you haven't a forum in your neighborhood you are missing théE opportunîty of a generation. Corne on in. The "narnow-minded man" is the one who disapproves of what I do.
