Railways and aviation have increased the speed but not the reliability of transportation. . . . Hgah Et : On the inland waterways the youth of Holland and: Zealand got their first thrill of navigation, A trip in the trekschuit was for many a little boy the beginning of a seafaring career, To pass from the canal barge-onto a-sea- going .vessel, to change the watery groove through the low pasturé land for the trackless ocean was the ambition of many a young Dutchman. Jan Huygen van Linschoten, one of the great 'navigators of' the late sixteenth century,, wrote to his parents, "Day and night I think of no- thing else but trayel in foreign lands; . . . there 0 worse waste of time than for a young fellow to hang around in his mother's . kitchen like a-dolt who is ignor- ant of what there is to be seen in the world." "East West, Home best" is the popular saying. . . . The young did not agree with it. They went not only east and west, they sailed as readily to the Arctic and and the tropics." Still, north and south. do not figure in the proverbial lore of the Dutch. The saying must date from that early period when Dutch commerce still hugged the . coasts of western Europe and shuttled back and forth between east and west, that is, the har- bors of the Baltic and Portugal. For they called the trade with the countries 'around the_ Baltic. Sea the eastern trade and that with England, France, and Por- tugal the western trade, Early map makers placed the map of the Netherlands with the coastline facing north, their mo- dern successors make it face west; in other words, the projec- tion on the page has been turned. round to the left™a full quarter of the dial.

When a burgher of Leyden walks out of the city in the direction that the modern cartographer calls west, he leaves it by a street called Noor- deinde (north end); The "Hague: counts among its chief thorough- fares a Westeinde (west end) which in the 'modern school at- las is shown to run south; and ~ the sea which the Dutch call Qostzee (east sea) is not to be looked for in the Orient but is none other than the Baltic.-- From "The Pageant of Nether- lands History," by Adrian J. Barnouiv: ; Plain Horse Sense. Ever since the beginning of the last war Canada's farm im- plement industry has had boun- tiful years. During the "war it was armament {hat kept the fac- - tories busy on: such a scale that farm machinery had to take sec- ond place. With the end of hostilities the industry was ready to swing into full production of agricultural implements and took all possible advantage. of the situation. Pro- -4- ductivity increased to such an- 'extent that.12 per cent more em- - ployees produced 160 per cent more goods in the six years from 1945 to 1950. rewe Profits Up The industry, however, did-not follow -the sound old principle that with reduced cost per unit - the selling price should be re- duced accordingly. Quite to" the contrary prices were jacked up with the result that by 1950 the share of wages and salaries in the farm: machinery dollar (at the plant) was down to 28.9 per-- - cent from 42.4 per cent in 1945, - while gross operating profits had increased from 9.9 per cent in 1945 to 16.8 per cent in 1950, ac- cording to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Caught in Squeeze To replace wornout machinery and to make up for the shortage of help farmers have been buy- ing heavily in . the post-war years. They have paid cash and signed notes for the machines _and implements they simply had to have to get their work 'done and are deep in debt to the com- panies, In the past 18 months they were caught between "the high by BOBELLIS prices they had to pay for every little bit they were buying and the' falling prices of their:-'own products. Buying and selling,, they were dealing with large cor- 'porations who carried on their ies have priced themselves out of -more pressure behind the de- businesses after the principle "I -.will get all the market will jug! tify me getting." Put-On Pressure The effects of this price and profit policy are now: becoming evident. The chickens are com- ing home to roost. The compan- the market. and sales have fallen off to so low a point that already 4000 "workers had to be dismiss- ed. This is bound to draw wider 5 circles and will affect basic steel, rubber and others, causing unem- ployment and in turn decreased consumption of farm _products which means more surpluses and lower prices. : Farmers might do well to put mand of the Interprovincial Farm Union Council, submitted on March 16, 1953, tothe federal government for "cither a -parlia- mentary commission of enquiry on farm implement costs, distri- bution prices, etc.; or that an in- yestigation be ordered by the combine investigation committee of these farm implement compan- ies' operations." : This column welcomes sug- gestions, wise or foolish, and 'all criticism, whether constructive or destructive and will try to answer any question.

Boel "Here in Canada we. give the late H. J. P. Good -- father of 'the lamented former sports wri- ter Charlie Good credit for being the first to put all the sports items together. Over in the States the pioneer was Ri- chard Kyle Fox, who migrated from Ireland to New York back in the 1870's, practically penni- less, and took a job selling ad- vertising for the Wall Street Journal and then for the National Police Gazette. The latter -- printed on pink paper as some oldsters will recall -- was on the verge 'of bankruptcy and Fox, by taking sharés of stock instead of - by 1876 was boss of the affair. * hd . Ensconced as publisher, Fox. . revolutionized the Police Gazette with a series of daring ideas, at least two of which became em- blazoned in history. First, he hired several outstanding. artists, some of the most magnificent woodcuts ever to appear in a periodical. These were the fore- runner Jf the fabulously success- ful modern tabloid (picture newspaper). $ ' J . * Next, Fox had a hunch people really were interested in sports, despite the highly disorganized state of athletic activity, He esta- blished a regular sports section in the Gazette, .a feature which was then totally unknown in the daily newspapers and magazines * * L Prize fighting. was illegal' in 1880. Yet: when a match was made between Joe Goss and heavyweight champion Paddy Ryan that year, Fox assigned several hrtists and reporters to 'give the fight full coverage. - . * Fox's hunch paid §ft handsome- ly. After the big bout, the Police Gazette had the only full account, replete with vivid' ringside pic- tures which attracted more at- tention than the Garfield - 'Han- cock presidential campaign! For weeks, the Gazette presses kept rolling to fill the demand. Circu- lation doubled. . . and Fox prov- ed in dollars and sense that the people were hungry for sports news, 4 L . To -compete for circulation, other journals began assigning reporters to sports events, From the ranks of these men came the Sports experts and the columnists. But it was Fox and the Police * Gazette who fathered the mo- dern sports page. * * . This is onc of the little-known milestones of sports 'which is brought to light in the 278 nos- talgic pages of "The Pictorial His- tory of Amgrican- Sports," by John Durant and Otto Bettman, which has just been published. » » * . - "The Pictorial History of American Sports"® covers each period in sports history, even through phases of bizarre pas- time like gander-pulling, skittles, animal-baiting, turkey. racing, roque and stoole ball. The book, whose basic appeal is much like that of the vividly - illustrated Police Gazette, has a host of sports collectors" items, . ¥ : For instance, did you know that in 1929 the New York Sun pub- lished its All-American football team, listing only ten men? ~Bronko Nagurski of Minnesota made it both as tackle and full- back. -- . : 1] , Also, in case you wince in re-s collection of the 104 degree heat that felled Sugar Ray Robinson in his title bout against Joey Maxim last year, just hearken back to the 120 degree conditions at the heavyweight championship fight July 8, 1889 at Richburg, Miss., between John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain. That blistering fight-to-a-finish went 75 rounds, lasting 2 hours and 16. minutes before Sullivan 3 to win the $10,000 National Police Gazette championship belt plus "the $20,000 stakes. This bout is pictured .in the Durant-Bettman volume, and listed as the only existing photograph of a bare- knuckle prize fight Baseball and America are as closely associated as ham -and eggs, or apple pie and coffee. Yet the "Pictorial History" points out that there is only oné purely American sport --- that's basket- ball. This game, which has sup- planted soccer as the most popu- lar sport inthe world today, was the brain-child of one man, the Canadian Dr. James A. Naismith.
