But few, if any, parallel the daddy.of all derbies; the Epsom Downs race, in the matter of distance. 2 This. Kentucky Derby, run annually on the first Saturday -the lest test of three-year-olds over the distance of one and one-quarter miles, This is one-fourth of a mile short of the regular Derby distance as established by ec run at' Epsom Downs, from whjch the name "derby" is derived. The English race is'at a mile and a balf, - The Kentucky race occurs almost too early females of this age to compete on equal terms with colts. And it is too early to condition even thé males of the species for You: may think that transportation difficulties are annoy- ing now. But back in 1875, the year the Derby was first run as a modest little race, the sporting-folks of the era who attended really had grief. The "Louisville Jockey Club race-track" since labeled Churchill Downs, was so far from the city that horse- drawn street cars required two hours to make the trip. Many of the customers started to walk the distance early in the ° morning. Others went in wagons, buggies and on. horseback. i ttending the Derby in the seventies and eighties was a jour- Arrangements for the race were primitive.

The business-like Globemaster, when it isn't resting, joins others of its type in carrying a daily average of 500 tons of supplies and personnel to Korga from Japan. Public Relations Farmers know that the price spread between producer and consumer is far too great. They know that too many 'middlemen take too much out of the con- sumer's food dollar. x The people who do not know it are the good folks in the cities and towns of Ontario. Misled and misinformed by tomato-brained journalists, they are inclined to blame the farmer, if they think that they are paying too much for their milk and bread and meat. The housewife shopping at the corner-store does not know that the producer does not get a frac- tion of a cent out of the 39 cents she has to pay for a pound ef dried skim milk powder. "Dagwood" may yell loud at "the sight of .the grocery bill; but 'he does not realize that profits of the meat packers were the highest ever in 1952 when pro- ducer prices went down by al-~ most 40 per cent, while consumer prices did not follow suit. If food prices are too high, the responsibility lies not with the producer, but the . distributor. The farmer can help by bringing out the facts. : Here is. a public relations job for the farm organizations 'to do, - which in the end will benefit On his return from "overseas Carter came to the notice of Wil- lie Ketchum, a - well known trainer of fighters. .y ile Ketchum promptly put the willing newcomer into intensive training. He found him easy to handle and, by the spring of 1946, had him boxing prelims. Jimmy was a good four-round boy. Too good. Before long, his reputation made it tough to get matches for him. L € . Jack Friaay,. who occasionally works in Carter's corner, ve- calls: . ol "I remember how faithfully he'd train, day after day. Some- times he'd have to borrow: a dime to get home. with Denis Pat Brady, a good: fighter then, and he'd raise the dickens." a In- little over a: year, Carter was fighting "ten-rounders- with tough cookies like Joe Brown and Charley Cabey Lewis. Also Sandy Saddler, wherein hangs a very interesting. story. "Al Weill was in 'Washington,"* Ketchum says, "and hé said, 'You're mak- "ing $150 tops with Carter; Tl: give you $800 for him to fight Saddler." I said, 'Are you kid- ding? 'Saddler knocks guys out. and produces as much as he: can at "as little expense as he: can. bargaining power he has little control over his prices and most of the time has to take for his product what he is told to take. He has just as little control over his expenses as far as pro- duction is. congerned. He can economize by foregoing personal conveniences, but when: he buys ais. tractor, or concentrates and to pay what he is told fo pay.

It is really too bad that the greedy tomato growers by such excessive demands have caused the closing of 4 or 5 canneries in Eastern Ontario. ; All too Little!

When he was nine, Mom moved "the family to New York's Harlem. ~~ James William, named for a grandfather, completed grade school and attedded high school, but he soon had to get out and - work. As a boy, he boxed in a 'Catholic - youngsters' club... He left a grocery clerk's job in 1943 to- enter the army. He wés in three years, serving in England, ' France and the Philippines.

"I took it and, in the first two rounds, Carter was doing noth- ing. Coming up for the third, I jumped on him, 'I put you in this because 1 thought you could win. Now, -do something!" He never stopped. I thought he won it, but they called it a draw." A top workman in the. clubs "during 1948,, Carter inevitably wandered up a dead-end street. "He couldn't get: money matches.- In 1950 Carter was so res- pected, and avoided, that he had® "only threz fights in the entire year. . Ld Carter's title break came early in 1951 when he upset Percy Bassett, strong Philadelphia con- tender, at St. Nick's. The brain trust for Ike Williams, then reigning, decided. he was "de- serving of the chance.". On. May 25, 1951, in Madison Square Garden, he flabbergasted a small "studio audience" and a big television audience by drop- ping Williams four times before He'd work ~ knocking him out in the 14th round.

So we can have our tonic ard get it over with before we settle down to enjoying the good things of life? 'Why doesn't .chickweed winter-kill? Or dandelions, for that matter? Why. doesn't wild garlic have i a pretty flower, like its cousins among the lily family? Why do rabbits in April prefer flower shoots to nice, green succulent new grass? Or in May, or June, ar July, for that matter? Why don't arto orms - stay- out of sight till after fishing season is well under way? You would think that some day they would learn that the early fisherman is just as eager for them as the early robin. Is there a brighter, newer green than that of a bank of day lilies on a sunny afternoon in April? Iis closest competitor is the green of cat- kin-soft new needles on a white _pine, How early can----one-offi- cially have an attack of spring fever? If spring travels north- ward seventeen miles a day, how fast does it retreat when a cold 'wave comes whooping down from Canada? And why doesn't somebody in Washington put an embargo on those cold waves? Is there a more cheery, deter- minedly cheery, greeter of spring than the man who runs a sted store or a garden shop?
