AUG. 13, 1953 TABLE TALKS maaxtv akme Andrews Some of us who live far from the ocean, look longingly at menus featuring fish, as most of them call for the sort of ingredients almost impossible to get outside of the larger cities--lobster, oyster and so forth. But our own fresh-water fish are delicious eating -- provided you know how to treat them For best flavor and texture, after the fish are scaled and cleaned and just before cooking, rub inside and out with salt and half a lemon.

This Dorothy Korby design is ideal for beach or summertime evenings. BY EDNA MILES T OOKING pretty at the beach takes work in the form of beforehand planning. Even casual observance of beach get-ups leads to the suspicion that seventy-five per cent of all women at the beach have never so much as glanced at themselves in the mirror before they left the Full length appraisal is essential. The swim suit to cut down figure faults has been on the market for sometime now and is no rarity. The sand or sitting suit that performs similarly is designed to be kind to too-heavy thighs, upper arms and bust. A good many women continue to cram themselves into that hardest of all suits to wear: white. This demands the absolute in figure perfection. Or, women with large derrieres bounce about in bloomer suits with ruffles across the back. They also are fond of pink which is definitely enlarging. Another failing is that of "wearing out" old housedresses or just plain old clothes at the beach. This is fooling yourself, just like eating that last piece of pie "to keep from wasting It."

Spoto, of Jamestown, N.Y., began to get out of control, so grabbing a broom propped against the garage wall, he beat it out. Satisfied that the fire was extinguished, the broom was set back in its place. Later the broom burst into flames, set fire to the garage, and resulted in damage to the extent of $150. Men of Good Will. In Pawhus-ka, Okla., firemen who had raced 28 miles from Bartlesville to help fight a $50,000 blaze arrived after it was all. over, discovered that they had lost their fire hose en route. Timmins, Ont., Aug. 1, 1953 Being inquisitive by nature and always prepared to stick our nose into other peoples' business we came all the way up here to learn how a strike is being run. Driving over a big hump we noticed a sign at the side of the road saying that from here on all water was flowing into the Arctic Ocean, which made us feel chilly enough to close the window. We also noticed that in the clear cool air of the North the car was picking up speed on those long long stretches of pavement without 6ur pushing the gas. Time Honoured Manner Timmins is a quiet little place and people look peaceful and contented. As a matter of fact it struck us that they all seem to wear a gay little smile behind their whiskers like the proverbial cat that has eaten the canary. They are happy and they tell you why as soon as you come in the door. Everybody is talking about Operation "Clean-Up" of last week, when the striking miners of Broulan - Reef raided the mine to deal with the scabs, brought in by the manager, in "the time honoured manner." The whole thing was carried out with the methodical precision of the Commando raids the boys were taught to use in the 17 Minutes i were milling ; loveliest of All-Christine Martel of France, recently named Miss Universe, receives congratulations from actor Jeff Chandler.

The boys are of good cheer, but they are wondering whether the times are coming back when workers were shot at because they wanted to organize. They are, however, resolved to stand by their rights and to defend Farmers of Ontario might learn from the miners of Timmins how to handle scabs, the next time they call a milk strike or are locked out, by the fruit and vegetable canning companies.

At a given signal they all sped off right through the mine gate up to the change house where the strike breakers were cleaning up. It did not take them long to finish the job although they did it with their bare fists and not, as the press reported, with sticks and bats. The scabs had those as they had been expecting something of the sort. Ten of the strike breakers were dragged along, packed in the cars to be dumped on the highway three miles away. The whole operation was over in 17 minutes. The mine manager fired three shots at the last car and hit a tire. It was the only car in the whole convoy with self-sealing tires and therefore could drive on. As one of the men said after- or destructive and will try to answer any question.

PLENTY OF FISH * There may still be a' shortage of meat, but each of the 2,400 million men, women and children on earth has some 39,600,000 fishes at his or her disposal. This emerges from the investigations of experts in oceanography, whose results have just been published in Italy. In every square kilometre of ocean there can be found an average of 65 million fishes. Since the total surface of the earths oceans amounts to 1,372 million square kilometres, the world's fish population is 89,000,000,000,-000,000. How One Man 'Bagged' A Market When you're in bed in a hospital, you have time to do a lot of thinking. And that's when Philip Bagley, Cumberland County, threatened with blindness, thought himself right into a bigger and better market than ever for his garden produce. Phil was worried about his eyes, but he also fretted about 60 tons of Blue Hubbard squash back home, that was about to spoil on a slow market. He suggested to his wife that the squash might sell if it were cubed and packaged in one-pound plastic (poly-ethylene) bags. Mrs. Bagley asked wholesale grocers about it. "We don't know; can't tell until we try it," they told her. Neighbors helped slice and bag the squash, and the trial run was on. Today, Phil (with sight partially returned in one eye) has four wholesale outlets, and others are waiting. Last summer he built a 28'x36' story-and-a-half washing and storage shed that has a full basement. He has a payroll Of six persons. Phil says that by cubing and packaging his crop he nets about double the ordinary wholesale When squash sold at $35 a ton wholesale, Phil grossed around $200 a ton, and netted $65 after labor, shrinkage, and spoilage. Going at full speed, his plant can turn out 2,000 one-pound packages of squash daily. Phil is now starting-to pack carrots, too. "While I lay there in the hospital I decided that the reason city folks wouldn't buy squash was because the squashes were too large," he said. "I figured that one-pound packages would be about right. Looks like I hit it right on the nose." Gary Cooper, hero and Award winner of many Westerns, once tried to be a real cow-puncher. He was sacked from three successive jobs. Glenn Ford started out as a salesman, but was fired. It was the same with Humphrey Bogart. Errol Flynn, before his film career, was sacked from so many jobs that he has lost count. "Terrible Terry^ Didn't Last Long Nowadays the boxing commissions Of the various states put all sorts of restrictions on fights that under-age youngsters are permitted to engage in. It wasn't always like that and no story of the ring is more to the point than Terry McGovern's. Terry fought at the turn of the century. Some say that he started professionally when he was only a kid of sixteen. It is a fact that by the time McGovern was seventeen he was a: rep ay-known as the "Terror of the Ring." "Terrible Terry" they nicknamed him, and the youngster richly deserved the name. He was the most savage and dynamic fighter of his time. He feared absolutely no ore Before he v.* us twenty-one years of age, Terry won the bantamweight championship of the world. That, in itself, is remarkable. Before he was twenty-one, he also won the featherweight title! Incredible, you say? That is not all for little Terry McGovern was so great a fighti that before he was old to vote, he not only copped the bantam crown and the feathe^ weight title but he also fougl Frank Erne, the lightweight champion of the world--and knocked him out! Indeed, Terry McGovern was a great little bruiser. He proudly strutted up and down the land wkh his titles and his hard swinging fists, winning all the boxing ^lory that there was for him to get. And then, one day, in 1901, Terry came to Hartford, Connecticut, to fight an unknown named Young Corbett, a lad from Denver, Colorado. The fight looked like an easy touch for unbeatable Terry. He was sitting on the rubbing table in his dressing room, waiting for the call to go into the ring, when someone hammered on the door. A harsh voice on the other side growled, "Come on out of there, McGovern, you tramp, and take your licking." It was Young Corbett. Little Terry McGovern, the greatest hitter and fighter of his JSfgight in the fight game, ,tt»nea whiter' not with feajutetit with rage. He sprang from the rubbing table. "Let's get out of here!" he shouted to his handlers. "Come on, I want to get at that guy!" Trainer, manager, seconds instantly obeyed the Terrible Terry. Not one of them but thought that he would tea; the challenger limb f--i limo. But that nigiit tne ooxing world was treated to one oi its most shocking surprises. Before two rounds had pased by. e great, the invincible, the unbearable Terrible Terry McGov-m lay unconscious . on the canvas, the victim of a knockout at the hands of the boastful little man from Denver. And above him, grinning down at his still form, stood Young Corbett saying, "I told you you were a 1" That was the begimi --„ u the end of the mighty atom of the ring. Terrible Terry McGovern never amounted to much after the beating he took at the hands of Young Corbett. And the surprising twist to the story is that, while McGovern won the bantamweight and featherweight championships of the world before he was twenty-one, and knocked out the lightweight champion of the world before he was twenty-one, he was also through and washed up as a fighter--before he was twenty-one! lat ' <^ gh . hei MB Here Comes Engine No. 29--This complex structure on display .at a toy exhibit offers new fascination for model railroad enthusiasts.
