Become Bologna Six Mexican !igbting bulîs ordered up for the "bloodiess bullfigbts" bere Aug. 2 and 4 are coming to Lindsay ta die. They wiil not die gloriously on the field o! battle. The Ont- aria Society for the Prevention o! Cruelty ta Animais anneun- ced Wednesday it will have two cars, a truck and a task farce o! inspectons on band ta mnake sure tbey escape barm. The bulis will go to their death in a manner seldom ex- perienced by their breed: A knock on the bead and a slasb in the throat in a commercial slaugbterbouse. The unseemiy fate has been decreed by officiais of the Lin- dsay Chamber of Commerce who purchased the bulis at a- bout $600 each last month from 1 waa nue uun coui 7'V El 0 M il il C ERLIJD; Mr c C1130 V30CF) FjoFifi ouauD u0cue OULU, :î ri a Mexican ranch. The animnais jhaven't yet arrived. SIap on the Head Up to their final trip to the abattoir, the worst the buils will sufer is humiliation. Alter 'much cavorting and cape work to demonstrate their fine art. the toreros wiil administer a slap on the head lnstead of the usual sword thrust through the shoulder blades. jFour mqtadors,- one a girl, are already on hand and the builfight ring is nearly com- piete. Tickets are selling bnisk- ly at $1 ta $7.50 and th organ- izers are hopeful of packing in $9,000 spect.ators on each Of the two a!ternoons. Gate receipts could bit $50- 000 against the $15,000 wbich the chamber says it has spent. Biggcst beneficiary wil be the new Lindsay hospîtal fund. Pre-fight interest, tbanks ta tbe humane society, is center- ing on the bulis, whose exact dimensions and time of arrivaI secm Wt be a close secret shared only by the matadors and the organizers. only Certàinty The only thing certain seemns to be their eventual delivery ta the commercial executioner. Ed May, secretary-manager cf the chamber and one of the two men mainly responsible for the bullfight idea, said in Toronto this week the chamber won't be able ta return the bulîs ta Mexico. Matadors wili not face a bull which tbey know bas already been in the ring. It bas been discovered, they say, that a bull with sufficient experience knows more than the matador. A realiy good bull might be handy for breeding but the chamber is not yet so deeply involved in bulifights that it needs its own farm. The oniy alternative, says Mr. May, is to seli the critters. Tough Eating This brings up a problem for tbe would-be-buyer. Fighting bulîs are flot bred witb an eye ta their eatîng quality. Most authorities say a figbting bull bas steaks about as tender as bis disposition. In Mexico a figbting bull goes into the cooking pot the same day on which it dies, in according witb tbe law which says animais kilied 'in Mexico must be cooked the same day uniess good refrigeration is a-$ vailable. It usualiy isn't. The, principal end result is chili con carne with the meat cooked so long and seasoned 50 higbly that quality or lack of itis-notimportant. Six bulîs worth of chili, bow- ever, migt bave a tougb time finding a market in Lindsay. At whicb suggestion a Lind- say official whispers: "You have. of course, beard o! bol-r ogna?" Strikes to Meet Princess At Niagara On the occasion o! her first visit ta the famous cataracts at Niagara Falls, H.R.H. The Prin- cess Margaret wiil be greeted by Ontario Hydro Chairman James S. Duncan at the Sir Adam Beck -Niagara G.S. No. 2 Fni- day, August 1. After vie'wing Hydro's famed Floral Clock, which in a few short years has become a major tounist attraction, the royal party will proceed ta the Gen- erating Station's' Information Centre where the Princess will be received by Mr. and Mrs. Duncan. It is planned to request Her Royal Higbness ta sign the visitors' book, foilowing which she will briefly view the gener- ating station at the base of the 300-foot ciffs of the Niagara Gorge. The occasion recails an event in August, 1954, when H.R.H. The Ducbess of Kent officially opened the station, ane of the largest in the British Common- wealth. During ber review of the plant, other Ontario Hydro of- ficials and their wives will be presented to Princess Margaret. These will include W. Ross Strike, First Vice-Chairman, and Mrs. Strike; the Hon. Rab- ert W. Macauley, Second Vice- Chairman, and Mrs. Macauley; Lt.-Col. A. A. Kennedy, Com- missioner; D. P. Cliff,Commis- sioner, and Mrs. Cliff ; E. B. Easson, Secretary o! the Com- mission; A. W. Manby, General Manager, -and Mrs. Manby; Dr. Otto Holden, Chie! Engineer, and Mrs. Holden, and J. R. Mc- Cullougb, Niagara Regional Manager, and Mrs. McCullough. After leaving the generating station, Her Royal Highness will drive to the Sheraton - Brock Hotel, where a joint luncheon will be tendered the Princess by the Niagara Parks Commis- sion, the City of Niagara Falls, and Ontario Hydro. I WAT'-OTHERS SAY i INEXCUSABLE CAEELESSNESS Sudbury Daily Star. A coroner's jury at Sault Ste. Marie was strongly critical o! parents wbo left their five childrcn alone while they visited a neighbor's bouse bal! a mile away. When they returftcd three bours later, the parents found the oldesit child, il years o! age, bad beenf shot and killed by 'a younger brother while playing "hunting." The jury was critical of the practice o! leaving a loaded rifle in the bouse with children. This is a form o! earelessness that is far too common. Time and time again the newspapers publish stories o! sbooting fatalîties caused by loaded weapons in tbe bouse. Frequently the victim was "cleaning the gun" without knowing it was loaded. Such carelessness is inexcusable. Unfortunately, for the victim,r he seldom bas a chance ta repent bis carelessness. It seems there are people wbo believe that safety runs only in seasons. In the Chr istmas-New Year season it's a don't drink and drive" season; in -the summer it's a "be care- fui around the water" season; in the bunting season it's a "practice gun safety" season. Safety runs all the time! t is timcly every day for 52 weeks o! tbe year. Whcn people recognize this truism, then wifl the accident toil start to decrease. HARDLY THE WAY Sudbury Daily Star Strange are the tales that came out o! Toronto. Mayor Pbillips bas suggested that aîl cbildren in the Metro area should be prevented from riding bicycles on the streets. The mayor said it would protect cbildren from accidents. Cbildren will climb trees from wbich they faîl ta break their arms and legs. Why not cut down all trees in Toronto? And the number o! people injured cach year in falîs on slippery floors! It's terrible! How about banning ail waxed floors? Toronto, in common witb most other large cities, bas a number of pedestrian fatalities each year. Surcly no thought would be given ta a suggestion that pedestrians be banned £rom the streets. A study of accidents involving cyclists ýmigbt turn Up some interesting information that absolves many cyclists from blame. Sucb as the motorist wbo opens the door o! bis parked car in the face o! a following cyclist. Tbat is just one example. Then tbere is the motorist wbo crowds a cyciist Into the rear ends o! angle-parked cars. Thene are good and bad cyclists as there are good and bad motorists. But Mayor Pbillips' idea bas sanie menit. It mnigbt be in the best initerests o! safety ta prohibit cbiidren from riding bicycles an tbe streets untîl tbey reach a certain age-1O years, maybe? DUBIOUS COMPLIMENT A ministen was called upon to substitute fan the regular minister, wbo faied ta reach the cburch because af a snow- storm. The speaker began by explaining what a substitute was. «If you break a window," be said, "and then place a cardboard tbere instead, that is a substitute." After the sermon, a woman wbo bad listened intently, sbook bum by the band and wishing ta compliment him, said: "You were noa substitute - you were a real pane." In Amenica yau're fired by a boss. In Russia by a squad. -Dofasco Dan. imiddle An aduit is anc who has stapped growing except in the e. -Dofasco Dan. LIIFE IS TOO SHORT -To spend tume bunting for disagreeable. -To waste one's strengtb fighting unneccssary battles. -To worry aven troubles that neyer happen. -To lase sleep aven things that cannot be bclped. -To spoil even anc day by envying someone else's prospenity. -To try ta shut the moutbs o! ail gossips. -To refight the battles that bave been already won.

It bas built aur communication 'and transportation systenis. It devclops inventors and business buildens. It oiginated the prînciples o! e!!iciency. It bas donc mast ta lower costs and pnîces.

It is PRIVATE ENTERPRISE. -The New York Campositon. A man on woman is not old until regrets take t he place of dreanis. -Dofasco Dan. A motel ownen was complaining ta a friend anc day about the way bis business bad fallen of! and cxplained that it was duc to, a new superbighway built about a mile from bis establishment. But the fniend remanked that every time be prove past the motel he always saw the "No Vacancy" sign out in front, and that looked like prosperity. "Ycah?" snapped the motel man. "Before they opened the ncw bigbway I used ta tunn away 20 or 30 parties a night. Now I'm lucky if I have ta refuse 10 or 12." It is easy ta dodge aur responsibilities, but wc cannot dodge the cansequences o! dodging respansibilities. FORMULA FOR SUCCESS You can do anytbing yau want ta do providcd yau follow five certain laws: 1. You must know exactly wbat yau want ta do. 2. You must want ta do it bard enough ta try to do it. 3. You must con!idently expect that yau are going ta be able ta do it. 4. You must pcrsistcntly determine ta try to do it. 5. You must be wiling ta make whatever sacrifice is neccssary in order ta do it. A bathing bcauty, it sccms, is anc worth wading for. -Dofasco Dan. Many a man thinks he bas an open mmnd, wben it is mnerely vacant. -Dofasco Dan. More people would get abead -if thcy uscd the one they've got. -Dofasco Dan. "I haven't met youn busband. What's be like?" asked Mrs. Horne o! ber fricnd. "Just the ordinany type," was the reply. "Forty-two around the waiste, 42 around the chcst, 92 around the gal! course, and a nuisance around Uic hanse." Red Wings Coming To Old Tennis Game Leaf Stadium Sunday The Leaf's home run titie holder, Absalom "Red" Wingo, bas agreed ta came Wo Toronto for Uic Leafs Old Timers game on Sunday, August 3rd.

The oniy time bis record Was seriously threatened was back in 1949 wbcn Ed Sanicki, who also ac- cepted the invitation for the Old Timers game on August 3rd, hit 33 round trippers.
