"Even oui- third line is g( ing well now." Special mentic was made of the improvemen ef Lintner, who is the property( the New York Rangers.

Second Line Produces The second line, spearheade( by Lintner, and given added pov er by Farrow and Hicks, bas sco: ed 32 goals in the past five games This is over two goals per playei per game. In addition to the:j puck-sinking ability, this line j! noted for its fierce back-checking Mike doesn't see a weak mer- ber on bis defence. Taffy MaynE and Bill Lowe are the stalwartE of the rear guard, using theii healthy size and alertness te in. timidate the encoming forwards, They neyer besitate te give out with the stiff bodychecks. Bill Bagneli and Bill Krantz, althoug] not quite s0 large, earn their keep by playing in botb ends of the rink, slipping home the odd goal or two to aid the home cause. No Rough Stuff The third line bas come te life since the addition of the much- improved Buck Cowle. In the last game against Lakefield, Buck was burning up the ice. Since he stopped the rough stuff he bas be- come a vcry effective wingman. Linemates Furey and Piper have worked bard to knit their line into a smooth-working unit. Mike believes that in Burkhart and Rowe he bas the best goalies in the league. Burkhart is a bit smoother, but lacks practice due te the conflict cf bis shift work with practice and game heurs. Rowe bas come a long way since the opening cf league play. He is learning to correct his one big fault cf leaving toe many i-e- bounds in front of the cage before the goal-hungry enemy.

The showing was net as bad as many, even famong government officiais, bad fare t might be. The Minister cf Transport had talked of a pos- sible 2milion pound deficit. But the 16 2/3,71 rate increase, thus înduced, whittled it down until the actual operating loss for the year was 9 million pounds. Admittedly. that la a pretty sad story, especiahly when you add it te the billion pound compensation for the original owners and an- other 9.7 million pound Air trans- port deficit. In honesty, bowever, it must be admitted that the un- satisfactory showing can Anot be laid whelly at the doors of tbe natienalization pelicy.

PLUMBING P hoe348 SHEET METAL Sc a to Although teachers lack full professional status as it migbt be understood by a doctor or lawyer, progress in that direction is being made in Ontario and the pro- vince's teachers are content to fol- low this trend rather than seek affiliation with labour, T. W. Mayor, of Kingston, president of the Ontario Secondary Scl4ool Teachers' Federation said in a radio address over a Cornwall station Monday evening. Touching on press reports which have quoted labour speak- ers as discounting tea c h e r s' dlaims to professional, status, Mr. Mayor said. "An important point is wrapped up in the question, 'Is teaching really a profession . . . or would teachers be more logical land rea- listic if they recognized the fact that they serve specific employers at specified salaries and joined the ranks of organized labour?' "Back in 1944, before the pas- sage of the Ontario Teaching Pro- fession Act, teachers in this pro- vince stood at the cross-roads on this point. They chose the road which leads toward professional- ismn rather than the one leading toward trade unionism, because they felt that course to be in the best interests of education and of the public. "Since that time, it cannot be claimed that complete profession- al status bas been achieved. How- ever, much progress bas been piade and the teachers of Ontario are well content to pursue their chosen course, despite the ex- pressed views of labour that we are snobbish, if not foolish, in our attitude". Discussing the work of the O.S.S.T.F. in curriculum research, the president stated that the sec- ondary school of the twentieth century has undergone a major revolution. Originally set up to train a selected.group for the pro- fessions anid university entrance, the high school now bas an en- tirely different non-select iv e function as an educational insti- tution of the common man. How- ever, many of the training me- thods in use are still basically those ot the old selective system, Mr-. Mayor said. He pointed out that a new philosophy of educa- tion at the secondary school level must be developed, out of which will grow a revîsed curriculum more in keeping with the needs of today's youth. Such a philosophy is one of the matters receiving careful study by the O.S.S.T.F. Education Policies committee, under whose guidance more than 700 Ontario teachers are studying curriculum problems. Mi-. Mayor said that, in bis opinion, relations between local school staffs and Boards of Edu- cation throughout Ontario are better today than ever before. He described how the Federation Nhich he heads is striving for even dloser co-operation between rustee-employers and teacher- emp]oyees through the formation of local trustee-teacher commit- tees designed to act in an advis- ory capacity to local Boards of Education. ~ur Red Cross.

What bappens when you feed childi-en a well-balanced diet rich in calories - - including twice as much sugar as the U.S. Depart- ment oi Agriculture 'recommends for a moderate cost diet? Some surprising anwsers are provided by results of a twe-yer study of tbree groups oi children 'in charitable institutions by Dr. Pauline Ieeery Mack and ber pro- fessional colleagues, al cf Penn- sylvania State College. Members cf the group which ate the mest calories - - includ- ing a double allowance cf sugar - - averaged from 1.4 te 3.6 inches taller than those in the iowei- calorie groups. They also had better teeth, stronger heart action, higher resistancn te fat- igue, and superior skeletal de- veentalat Effects cf the three varied diets on dental healtb were especially impressîve. Dental decay was greatest in the institution wbicb bad the lowest level of sugar in- take, and a diet poerest in caloric content and in nutrient level. On the other hand, boys in the insti- tution which had most liberal 9 Phone 348 allowance cf sugai- had the best the deficit. Tbese would have corne as surely under private ow- nership as under public. The in- creased cost of replacement and renovation too was not influenced by the change. The times and flot; the management deter m i n e d these costs. But, wbile this is true, what can be said is this, public expec- tation-wbether by definite prom- ise or not, does not matter too much-that the public would bave a greater share ini the oper- ation of the roads; that they would travel more cbeaply and under pleasanter circumstances; and that they would, the while, have the satisfaction of dividing the investor's profits, didn't nma- terialize. How different the actual pic- ture. InStead of the supposed fab- ulous benefits in the retained profits, there is that item of a bil- lion dollars compensation that, either in principal or interest, must be met out of public taxes. There were bigher costs for freight and passenger traffic, 80 that nationalization did not show the citizen any advantage, either as a traveller or a purchaser of commodities. Instead of improved service, operational efficiency tended to decline, while the fact that the public paîd their wages didn'ýt add anything to the cour- tesy of the railroad personnel. The expected advantages, in the words of one officiai of the na- tionalized system, was "the great mirage of nationalization."1 And as one commuter phrased it. "There's nothing worse than to suifer inconvenience at the hands oi the government." However you may argue the case, and what- ever the example, it does not seem to be proved that anyone works more efficiently or more graciously for government than he works for himself.

For an additional period ef two years, boys who started with the highest caloric intake were placed on an even richer diet. Caloric content exceeded recommenda- tions of National Research Coun- cil by nearly 50 per cent. As a result, the boys sbowed a stili further iiiprovement in physical ftatus. Even though they ate more sugar than they had before-in- cluding candy bars after meals- their teeth still were superior. This did not mean that eating more sugar gave theni superior teeth, but that a "high sugar in- take was not antagonistic to good dental status," Dr. Malck writes in a summary.
