y f r f V 1^ y T > TEEN-TOWN TOPICS â- r--- By BARRY MURKAR =r^ By now, some of you will have heard the lata I news. For those of you who haven't, may we sug- gest you find a nice easy chair, l^e'fyrV reading tlie rest of this. Xhosc nice salaries you liave been rceeiving for your summer job ire a thing of the past â€" as of . now. Yes, as much as it hurts, it's true! The official report i.« out. And that, report is to the effect that hundreds of employers are now re-placing teeners with ex- servicemen, and civilians who had war jobs, and are now out of work. The old days are gone when Junior came home {lashing a roll equal to his pop's wrekly stipend. Xcxt summer, the em- ployers inform us, there will be far fewer jobs for teenage kids and where there are, the money will be much less than it has been. Tough as it may seem. ] hope you really ' didn't believe that "all this and heaven too," would last forever. Here's hoping you made the best of the free- for-all while it lasted. Camera Clubs PopiUar Since the war, we have noted with interest that photography is fast becoming a popular hobby of the middle-man. Young people as well, are taking a decided inter- est in shooting this and that. (Xot to be taken literally). We used to think that photography was for the man with money; but in the past few years, it has been pointed out that good pictures can be taken with an inexpensive camera. The secret lies in the knowhow. Booklets for a few cents can be obtained anywhere, telling you how to get the most from your camera whether it be a small box job or a special streamlined affair with all the gadget;. Camera clubs arc be- coining very popular across the lini;. ilany teen clubs have them. A gang gets together on a Satur- day afternoon and goes out tak- ing pictures. By pooling their fi- nancial resources, they can set up their own dark-room, complete with developer, printer and en- larger. Any member of the club can make use of the facilities for only 3: few cents. This is a sug- gestion for your fall program, if you hm-p not already thought of it. Nice . . . vi'-y N^rc Mary Waters, high school stu- dent at Mount Forest, will have little tmible with dates this term. The reason: Mary walked off with the title of "ili.is- Mount Forest" at the recent beauty con- test held up there. Siie' defeated IS other contestants. Nice going, Mary. We have just been looking at Mary's picture, and can easily uiftlerstand why she won. This re- minds us of a story a few wcok. back, of the boy in an eastern On- tario town, who dressed up like a girl, went in the local beauty c(3ntest and won first prize. He was given the title of Miss â€" what- ever the name of the place was â€" and no one knew until after the contest that the beauty-queen was a 15-ycar-old boy. Flying High Marilyn House, 17-ycar-old student at Danforth Tech. is go- ing places in the flying world. She has the distinction of being ^he youngest girl in the Wings Club, fraternal organization form- ed by aviation students and pri- vate pilots operating from Bark- er Field, Toronto. She liked fly- ing so much, she has taken a job with an aviation company. Her next goal in flying, is to obtain her private pilot's license. Apart from flying, Marilyn likes swim- ming and reading. Some day she hopes to own and operate her own plane. We hope she makes the grade. Our Interview As we mentioned some time ago, we plan from time to time to have a column which will be headed, ''Our Interview." Here we hope to present a newsy and off-hand chat with people you have all heard or read about. The first one will appear next week. We have chosen for our first interview, a lovable sort of character, who is known all across Canada. We arc referring to the famous Cana- dian writer, Gregory Clark. Greg has long been associated with Jim Frise, the cartoonist and we think that you will find our first inter- view, interesting and we hope in- formative. H you have others, you would like us to meet for you, drop a line to this column and .we'll do what we can. • He picked up the telephone, but found the line busy. "I just put on some beans for dinner," he heard the woman say. A few minutes later he tried again. The same two wo- men were still talking. "Say, lady, I smell your beans burning," he broke in. There was a scream, two receiv- ers went up, ami the line was open. Sports - And One Thing or Another By FRANK MANN HARRIS == ("A Sixbit Critic") = Quite an interesting discussion might be Iniilt around the question "Just which type of sports fan is the screwiest?" There have liccn times when we would have licen prepared to argue strongly in favor of the horse-racing addict ; while your dyed-in-the-wool hockey follower is never to held too lightly, and neither if your rabid baseball Inig. Still, after considerable thought, we have come to the conclusion that, other things being equal, the football en- thusiast tops them all. » ♦ + Like the highly indignant friend we happened to run into shortly after noon on a recent torrid Saturday. "There ought to be a law," he ex- claimed, mopping his streaming brow. "The very idea of playing football in this kind of weather â€" making folks swelter in the hot bleachers while the guys on the field can barely go through the motions. Yes, there ought to be a law, or something." * « * "If that's how you feel about it," we suggested, "why don't we just find some quiet, air-conditioned spot and spend the afternoon there?" « * ♦ Our friend started at us in genuine amazement. "You mean not go to the game at all?" he gasped. "You must be even crazier than usual to talk such nonsense â€" so get a move on or we'll be missing the kickoff !" * * ♦ More and more tt.- marvel at the amount of sheer, uncomflaimng cour- age there is loose around lliis wicked old world! This beautiful thought comes to us frcquoitly iionadays as we read about the heads of various great businesses telling of the intense pain they suffer at being forced to raise the prices of the commodities they sell. You'd almost imagine some of them, at least, zvould try to spare themselves this agony; but No. they stand up under it gamely, unflinch- ingly and to a man, the unsung heroes that they are! r * # One of the funniest of all-time sports happenings has beer the rapid rise of Primo Camera to great heights as a wrestler â€" or anjway as a wrestling attraction â€" and even more surprising is his continued slay at those heights. •f * » For it is hardly a secret that, when it was first proposed to turn the milling Alp into a grappler, real concern was felt â€" many of those he- hind the scenes being convinced that Primo was liable to break into several segments the first time he got a tumble, hi fact one bystander suggested gettng some of those FRAGILE â€" HANDLE WITH C.-\KE stickers to paste on his car- cass, and using "London Bridge is Foiling Down" as Theme Music. « * « But to the amazement of all con- cerned Camera has not only manag- ed to stay in one piece, or there- abouts, but has continued to prove a real box-ofticc draw, packing them in night after night, and rolling up a list of victories that would put Jimmy Londos, Strangler Lewis, or any of the great ones of old to shame. We understand that there is no truth in the rumor that he has met the same opponent some 200 times â€" the actual number being not over 150. And what Primo himself thinks about it allâ€" well, if he ha» a sense of humor, he must be getting many a secret laugh over the' whole thing. * * « 117/ 1' PARE.VrS GET PRE- M.iTURELY GRAY! Assured by advertisements that the picture ivas a striking demonstration of the fact that "Crime Does Not Pay" the mother allowed her two small sons to attend the matinee. Later, she overheard the tivo of them discuss- ing what they had seen. "You see, Freddie," said the elder, "the mis- take this dope made ivas leaving his Food Poisoning Each year quite a number of people arc made ill from eating something that has been mistaken for wholesome food. Kcccntly sev- eral persons became sick from appar- ently mistaking toridslnols for mush- rooms. It is necessary first of all, that people be acquainted with what- ever they are gathering. Fruits and vegetables should he washed to get rid of sprays which may be poisi^n- ous. Too much care cannot be exercised. â€" Kitchener Record. fingerprints on the gat!" ".'iure thing!" chimed tn the younger. "Now if Xfe were doing it, we'd take care to wear rubber gloves, wouldn't wcT" * * * , Toward the end of the last foot- ball season we went overboard with the statement that Joe Krol was the greatest all-round player that has ever performed on a Canadian grid- iron. We see no reason to revise, or apologize for, this opinion; but we do wish that some kind friend would send Mr. Krol a copy of that once- popular song entitled, "It Isn't What You L'sed to Be, But What You Are Today." As one onlooker commented on his way out of Varsity Stadium after the Alouettes game. "Krol plays as if he had been doing most of his training reading his scrap- books."
