Better In Than Out When Storm Raging The chance of not being struck by lightning is approximately 365,000 to 1, says Dr. G. D. McCann, West- ingliouse engineer, whose specialty is lightning. About 400 persons will probably 1)e killed by lightning this year, 33,000 in household accidents and about 40,000 on the nation'i highways. Most liglitning casualties occur in small towns and rural communi- ties, according to Dr. McCann. Tho city dweller is relatively safe, chiefly because he seldom has far to go to reach shelter. Besides, the shelter is biijjj^er and safer. Be- cause steel skeletons of skyscrapers serve as electrical conductors, tall buildings of a city afford almost complete protection. The ordinarj' city dwelling is a pretty good haven. Thunderbolts strike hundreds of such buildings and homes every year, but the tops and sides shed the lightning into the ground. The structure is un- damaged and the occupants are un- aware that anything has happened. .'\hnost anywhere indoors is pre- ferable to being out in the open when a storm is raging.

To Settle French Indo-China Frontier Dispute Siam has handed the United Na- tions Security Council an intricate problem in requesting mediation of her historic frontier dispute with French Indo-China. It involves the unexplored prob- lem of defining sovereignty over areas in three Oriental kingdoms which have been pawns of 19th century imperialism and 20th cen- tury Japanese aggression. The French laid claims in 1807 to territories counter-claimed by Siam. Ill 1907 Siam yielded the dis- puted territories â€" under coercion and a French show of force, the Siamese insist â€" to the hodge-podge of tribes and little kingdoms which France unified to a degree in iorm- ing the Indo-China empire. Minor skirmishes continued in- termittently along tlie Mekong un- til it was engulfed by the organized warfare creeping in from Japan in 1940-41. Then, after France had sur- rendered to Germany and with Indo-China prostrate under Japa- nese control, Siam struck eastward to expand her realm. It was a small- scale and almost unrecorded war but airplanes were used in combat wliere disputes even now often are settled with crossbows and arrows, Liberated France now is the only Allied power which has not made or maintained peace with Siam. The French have rebuffed Siamese offers to end their "technical state of war," and the French colonial administration at Saigon has made it clear, the Siamese say, that peace will be made only after the ter- ritories are handed back to Laos and Cambodia. U.S. Crop Outlook: A Bumper Harvest The United States is well on the way toward its sixth consecutive bumper harvest. In fact, the Agriculture Depart- ment in its latest monthly crop re- port said the current outlook for total farm production has seldom been surpassed. The report said conditions pre- vailing July 1 indicated a record corn crop, near-record crops of wheat, oats, potatoes and rice, and large crops of vegetables and most fruits. If the grain crops turn out as now indicated, the United States will be in a position to carry out its commitment to send 250,000,000 bushels of wheat to shortage areas during the next 12 months and still maintain production of livestock products â€" meats, milk, eggs and poultry â€" at levels near those of the past year. The crop outlook was not with- out its dark spots. The production of oilseeds â€" soybeans, peanuts and flaxseed â€" will be below wartime levels and below demands. Margar- ine, shortening, salad oils and paints are principal products made from the oilseeds. Likewise, the rye and barley crops may be the small- est since the droughts of the 30's. On the brighter side was a fore- cast that the domestic sugar crop may be 25 per cent larger than last year's abnormally small crop. He Made Itâ€" But! A motorist was 100 yards from an open level railway crossing and was proceeding at 50 miles an hour. A train was also approaching at 60 miles an hour, and its distance from the crossing was 375 feet. Problem: Did the motorist get across? Solution: Yes, the motorist got a cross. His widow bought it out of the insurance money. Great Britain Faces Coal Crisis Britain's coal shortage, a constant threat in war, is proving an equal peril in peacetime. For the fifth year in succession, nobody can say dciiiiitely whether the country will have enough coal to keep going during thf winter. The coal problem assumed crisis proportions in 1D40 after the gov- ernment allowed a number of coal miners to leave the pits for the armed forces or war factories. As the war developed, the demand of munition factories and other estab- lishments grew tremendously and the mining industry's manpower re- serves wore thin. Falling output per man â€" acccntualcd by a deteriora- tion in pliysical standards â€" was an- other factor. Today British coal mines still are short of workers and output per man has not improved to a poini that would offset the shortage. Nationalization of the mines by the Labor government may improve the situation, but as yet the gov- ernment has not had time to me- chanize the industry to a level com- parable with that in the United States coal mines. Demands for coal, electricity and coke for industrial purposes are steadily rising. Domestic consump- tion is still on the increase, fed by the targe number of electrical ap pliances now available to the pub lie.

I........I I > » â-  > s a < SPOTS OF SPORTS By FRANK MANN HARRIS . ......saasaas.si ( A OIX DIt Crit.C ) .......a....>..»a From Maple Leaf Hockey Head- quarters has come the promise that future Toronto hockey teams, un- like some of their predecessors, are going to be scrappy, fighting ag- gregations, chockfull and running over with pep, pugnacity and punch (non-alcoholic). This, com- ing hard on the complaints of Mr. Durocher, of the Brooklyn Bums, that present-day ball players are much too mild and gentlemanly, is slightly interesting as illustrative of a managerial trend, and gives rise to certain speculations which might do for weather such as this, when it is too sticky to think of any- thing of real importance. * 4i * We all know that, through the agency of such great institutions as radio and the cinema, modern lookers and listeners have become thoroughly accustomed to syn- thetic substitutes for such vital hu- man emotions as love, hate, fear, apprehension, despair and what- have-you. These are almost impos- sible to tell from the real thing; in fact there are many â€" such as the soap-opera addicts â€" who greatly prefer them, and who will sob their little hearts out over the syn- thetic trials and tribulations of some fictional character, and then make an awful squawk because we have too many Tag Days and ap- peals for the relief of actual suf- fering. * * * Naturally, it was only a matter of time before sports promoters, always impressed by the terrific following enjoyed by the movies and radio, and much obsessed by the notion that "showmanship" is the greatest of all virtues, should tag along on the same line. And they had several good and suffi- cient reasons â€" or perhaps that should be "sufficiently good" rea- sons â€" for so doing. For one thing, those who can detect the synthetic from the genuine are but a negligible minority; for another, you can always be assured of an unfailing supply of the substitute stuff; and, for a third, the latter is considerably cheaper â€" although that, of course, would scarcely be a consideration with sports mag- nates. * * « And so, to take hockey as an ex- ample, we find that â€" by certain ma- nipulations of the rules â€" we have hustle, bustle, speed-skating and general liullalialloo substituting for skill, stick-handling, combination and team-work to such an exteni that one old-timer, seeing his first game in several years, was keenly reminded of a boyhood pastime known as Duck on the Rock. (In case you don't recall that robust sport, one kid would toss a boul- der at the "duck" or goal, all the others followed in pell-mell, and a grand pile-U| and free-for-all would ensue). * * * Still, what of it? The customers appear to accept the modern ver- sion of hockey; and where, after all, will you find the merit of any sport more faithfully reflected than in the mirror of the financial bal- ance-sheet? * * * But onward and upward must ever be our motto. We must have no .standing .still or slipping backward. The clients want more and sturdier action, so the order has gone forth. And soon, at the word of command. National Hockey League patrons are to regale their eyes on pre- fabricated bad men, on synthetic chip-on-the-shoulder battlers, prac- tically indistinguishable from the original. No longer will defense men take pride in going an entire season without a visible wound or bruise; no more will our photogenic forwards deem it a disgrace to ap- pear before their public sporting anything so vulgar as a shiner. The customers are calling for may- hem--so mayhem they shall have, even if we are forced to recruit our teams from the ranks of the wrestlers. 4> * * Borrowing the wings of historic imagination and taking a quick gander into the future, we can al- ready visualize hockey games con- ducted after the manner of a Sym- phony or movie spectacle, with the Maestro, or Producer, guiding the entire performance as a whole, and speedily correcting any faults or failings as they appear. Already we can hear the hockey impressario of 1950 issuing â€" perhaps by means of skatie-talkies â€" orders to his minions such as, "There's a man yawning over in Section F â€" better put on a fist-fight in front of him"; or "there haven't been any ladies fainting in the South bleachers for ten minutes â€" better hustle down there and start a battle-royal." * * * And yet â€" and yet â€" somehow we cannot help wondering. It has been our happy lot to watch in ac- tion, and to know personally, many rough and read.v performers from the days of Bad Joe Hall, Scotty Davidson, Hard Harry Mummery, right down to modern limes. And we never got the idea that they acted as they did by reason of any orders from the bench, or from higher-up. We had the notion that those lads played that kind of hockey simply because thjt was wa.s the kind of hockey they liked the kind of hockey they liked to play; and the bench orders they Iiearil wpre of the "for Cripcs .sake try and stay on the ice" rather than of the reverse varict.v. * * * And so pei-haps we may be pardoiied for slight misgivings as to whether that hardy type of player, or a reasonable facsimile, can be created overnight just be- cause somebody â€" no maltcr who â€" wills it so. For years they have l)Oon putting the emphasis on speed, speed, and still more speed. Now they are expecting a lot of Fancy Dans to change over into Hard-boiled Haggcrtys at the snap- ping of a finner. * ♦ « But we shall see what we shall see, as we say down in that dear Montreal, .^t all events the prom- ise has been given, which should be some satisfaction. Like the time back at the Elora Fair when a friend heard old Joe Grimes promising to give soon-expected setter pups to what seemed like a whole lot of people, and finally took him to task. "Joe," he said, "I don't know just what size of a litter you're expecting, but I're heard you promise to give a pup to at least twenty-five people." "Well, what of it?" drawled Joe. "1 figgor it's a blamed mean man that won't at I ist PROMISE a friend a pup." >
