All this bein A Real Canadian Champion Who Has Been Overlooked by Elmer Ferguson ® This may not be a seasonable time to discuss ski-ing, that sport which has grown in popularity in these Dominions by the proverbial leaps and bounds. But it might be as good a time as any to discuss a Cana- dian ski-er destined for even more fame than he has already acquired, who started his career on the long blades when he was only eight years old. We're always intrigued by those stories of athletes who have devoted their lives to perfecting technique in their favorite sport, and a young man named Ernie McCulloch, native of the little Quebec city of Three Rivers, undoubtedly comes in that category. ere, we believe, is one of the really great Canadian athletes of our time, and even though warm suns are shining on the grass and the trees are in leaf, we feel we should devote a column to McCulloch climaxed a brilliant career last winter when he captured the ski-ing "Grand Slam," never accomplished before by Canadian, American or European for that matter. His phenomenal feat began when he captured the National Giant Slalom at Alta, Utah, followed with. a smashing victory in the Aspen North American championships. .He went on from there to capture top honors.in the National Downhill champion- ships at White Fish, Montana, and his final triumph was in the ~ When you consider he was competing against the very best in North America, and a field that included a sprinkling of former European champions, you get a quick vision of his greatness. When McCulloch began his ski-ing career at the ripe age of eight years, he started practice jumping on a hill behind his home, and by the end of his first season, was jumping 40 feet. . By the time he was 13, he had already captured schoolboy jumping meets in Montreal, Toronto, Quebec City and Ottawa. The long, lean youngster already had made a name for himself in the Three Rivers Ski Club with a record jump of 114 feet. At this stage of the game, McCulloch began slalom and down- % he entered the downhill race in the Quebec City championships and finished second. There's no such thing as ski-ing cautiously with Ernie. It's go- go-go from start to finish. His record of recipitous slopes of Mount Baldy in Sun Valley, is still a challenge or other stars. One young racer who completed the gruelling grind in a little over a minute remarked: "I don't see how anybody could possibly have gone faster than I did today without breaking his neck." Ernie didn't break his neck but was a full four seconds better than the aspirant to his title. : In 1949 Ernie rode to International glor self-constructed skiis. He beat the entire of, Henri Creiller, George Panisset and Coutet. McCulloch won the Harriman cup again this year and if he wins again, becomes the only skier in history to take the award so, we thought we'd write a column about a great Canadian athlete who has been overlooked. 6 seconds down the on specially-designed, rench team, consisting Lg Some Tales About Jimmy Durante. . .. At an age when most men are Jimmy Durante is still a bundle of dynamic energy. Four things place him apart from nose, a gravelly voice dat moid- ers de English language, a unique strut, and innate good humour. At the top of his profession, Jimmy is still an unaffected guy with simple wants, and he knows more _than anyone the meaning of '"com- ing up the hard way." - He earns a fabulous salary, but a good deal of it goes to charity. He's never yet denied a loan or gift to anyone, and once he con- fided to a friend: "I only wish I was a financial typhoon like Rock- in fellow." Shrinkin Violence His extraordinary capacity to mangle English is part-developed. Nowadays: he de- stroys pronunciation automatically. Son of an Italian barber, he was born in the slums of New York, and never had a real education. Audiences get a big laugh out of his nose, but he confesses that as a kid it used to worry him. "I was shrinking violence, Every time I went down the street, I'd hear: 'Lookit the. big-nosed kid!" And when anybody'd look my way, I'd just sneak off. All through life, even when I am making a for- tune on account of my big beak, part-natural, ~ at no time was I ever happy about it." « In his 'teens he worked seven days a week, from eight at night, till six in the morning, as a cafe pianist. In 1910 he was workin in a New York dive that was so tough, "if you took your hat off you were a sissy." Then he moved to another joint, where he played from eight o'clock '"'until- I was subconscious." During the First World War he teamed up with a dancer-baritone called Eddie Jackson, and led a small dance band in various clubs, One day a girl who was later to be his wife, walked into the club and asked for an audition. He accom- panied her on the piano, but she was a soprano. Jimmy didn't like sopranos and said so. "Whoever told you, you could play the piano?" the girl said spiritedly, Jimmy retorted: "Them is the con- ditions that pervail." * Frequent Brawls When prohibition came into force, night clubs sprang up every- where, serving the liquor behind locked "doors, Because he was talked into it, Jimmy started his own club. There he met a soft- shoe dancer named Lou Clayton, and shortly afterwards America took to its heart a new team of entertainers billed as Clayton, Jack- son and Durante. The team prospered--and so did the club. It was a decade of loose money and racketeers. 'To pre- vent gunplay -on the premises," records Gene Fowler in "Schnoz- zola," his biography of Durante, "Clayton made it a rule that all marksmen "BAd to turn in their side arms on entering the room." --;But-there-were frequent-brawls;-- and peace-loving ' Jimmy = would disappear to all-night cafes, waiting till things had quieted down. Several times in his money mak- ing career Jimmy was threatened by gangsters, but Lou Clayton knew the underworld and saw that the comedian was well protected. During Prohibition gangsters weren't the only people after Jim- my. The police arrested him for selling liquor, but sentence was suspended with the warning that if ever he was caught serving an- other drink, he would have to go to jail. Jimmy never erred again. Clayton, Jackson and Durante split up when Jimmy was offered a personal contract in Hollywood nearly twenty years ago. Clayton became his manager and Jimmy began his film career, But he made a series of bad pictures which did nothing to enhance his carrer, so he decided to return to the stage for a while, : "What Elephant?" In 1935 he opened in a Broad- way show which was a smash hit. Jimmy recalls that before the first night was particularly worried about one line that he had to deliver. On stage with an enormous live ele- phant that he was supposed to be stealing, a sheriff walked on and shouted: "What are you doing with that elephant?" Jimmy looked round in bewilderment and replied: "What elephant?" At first this line didn't seem very funny to him, and he wanted to cut it, but it proved to be one of the biggest laughs of the even- ing. : Talking of elephants, he was once embarrased by an unintention- al laugh when he heard two fellows train passengers disussing Africa. "I've seen some fantastic things in Africa." one man remarked. "in- cluding an elephants' graveyard. The great beasts sometimes travel as much as two thousand miles to die there." - : The astounded Durante thought about this information for a while, then he 'tapped the speaker on the knee. "It's the trip," he suggested, "that kills them.": By 1943 Jimmy was so short of money that he went back to night- club engagemnts. That year his wife died and he lost all confidence in himself. It was a long time be- fore Clayton could pursuade him to go back to work. ) "But when the band plays," said Jimmy later. "you forget even your griefs for a moment. You forget everything until you come off. Then when you come off, you flop down." His night-club act was a big suc- ~ cess. Hollywood beckoned again, and a new generation discovered the little man with the rasping voice. "I borrowed dat note from Caruso; he was glad to get rid of it.") Back to Work Then. he was signed up for a radio series. His poularity has been so great in recent years among actors and audiences alike that when he went into hospital for a seripus operation, top ranking enter- tainers like Bob Hope, Red Skel- ton, and the late.Al Jolson took over .his radio show without any fee until he was fit again. He was booked to appear at the - Palladium two years ago, but his old friend and partner Lou Clay- ton, ~died and the engagement was postponed. Clayton's death upset him almost as much as his wife's, but Jimmy went back to work and felt his way gingerly into American television studios. -Loyal to his friends, he is also loyal to his old jokes, but' the youngsters hadn't, heard them before, and in the last few months his sutcess as an en- tertainer has been unsurpassed, This is the kind of experience he Canadian Paintings Greatly Admired--Few advertising campaigns published anywhere have ever - received more favorable comment than the "Seagram Tells The World About Canada" compaign.

I turns him down flat. He says to me: 'Jimmy, why do you refuse this modest compensation?" I says to him: 'Your Highness, who wants to find a thousand stockings hangin' in da bathroom every morning?" Almost everyone loves 'to hear Jimmy Durante's stories. But when he was a 'teen age piano player knocking out dance tunes in dingy New York:cafes, he always thought he'd be nothing more than a sec- ond-rate masician, He teamed up for a short while with a singing waiter called Eddie Cantor, who once said to him: "You"ll never get anywhere as an ordinary pianist, Jimmy. You've got to have personality, Why don't you talk to the customers--make remarks -- while you're at the piano?" Shy young Jimmy Durante re- plied seriously: "I couldn't do that, Eddie, I'd be afraid people would laugh at me." How right he was! Deserved Rebuke The claims of 4,000 Ford strikers for unemployment benefits arising out of their Christmas wildcat walkout have been tossed out by the Unemployment Insurance Commission's Umpire, Mr. Justice Alfred Savard. And rightly so! Through their union, the strikers claimed they were entitled to un- employment insurance from the day the strike ended until work was fully resumed nearly two weeks later. The two-week interval was requi red to get enough of the strike damage repaired to permit resumption of operations. The same union tried the same stunt in connection with the recent walkout of Ford office workers. This time, the union put up the argument that production workers weren't out on strike at all but were kept off the job by the office employees' picket lines, therefore were entitled to unemployment pay. Apparently, they're not going to get away with this either. Though they can still appeal, Ottawa UIC has ruled against them. And with good reason. No one knows better than the auto union that by no stretch of a labor-leader's imagimation was it intended that the Unemployment In- surance fund to be used to finance a strike. Its original and sole concept was rainy-day protection and that's the way it should continue. --From The Financial Post People Collect "Most Anything A number of fromologists re- cently met in London. " Experts in their own line, fror mologists are collectors of cheese labels, and in case you think this hobby provides a limited field of research, there are 10,000 different specimnts of the cheese label designér's art. But fromologists are not . the most remarkable of the world's collectors, There are many people who cannot resist model elephants, bottle tops, handcuffs, bus tickets, thimbles, menus, artificial flowers, and even train destination boards. ¥ Headless ; One ardent collector devoted his life to amassing various kinds of scaweed. Another" man who col- lected perfumes had several hun- dred different varieties, At an exhibition recently held in London some of their amazing col- lections were shown to the public for the first time. One enthusiast had amassed an assortment of nails. Some were more than a foot long, others too small to be scen with the naked eye. Among them were nails made of iron, wood, ivory, and flint. There were square, round and 'curved nails. Others with ornamental heads, and some with no heads at all, ; A schoolgirl collects fingerprints. This young dactylographist daily adds to her library of interesting impressions by carrying about with her a pad and a tin of boot polish! "King" of autograph collectors is probably. Fred Bason, Cockney author and broadcaster. Mr. Bason possesses over 10,000 famous sig- natures, ranging from that of Pay- Jova to Somerset Maugham. A Norfolk doctor became fas- cinated by the number and vadety of coalhole lids he encountered'on his daily rounds. Since he could not actually acquire these useful éb- jects, he made sketches of them which were later published in book form. A Canadian collects words in all kinds of printed mat- misspelt : ter. He has over 10,000 such ex amples. A South African govern- ment official $pecializes in the ac- quisition of driving licences. So far he has specimens from more than 48 countries.
