Ml- t *- .^ â- >^ IN THE 4'NonnanBbir Newfoundland Some time ago, speaking of a poisible union between Newfound- luid and Canada, Prime Minister ilacKenzie King said that, in or- «r for such a thing to succeed, the Cople of Newfoundland would have approve of the union "clearly And beyond the possibility of a mlgunderstanding." But this is just what the New- foundlanders failed to do in the balloting which took place late in July. The vote, in round figures, jhowed 75,000 in favor of Confed- •nition as against 70,000 for Re- aponsible Government. Thus, if the proposed Union goes through â€" as it seems at this writing almost certain to do â€" it will appear to be against the wishes of almost 49 per cent of the people of New- foundland â€" and as one editorial writer puts it, "the seeds of future discontent might be sown if a large number of Newfoundlanders could «laim, with any justice, that they were hurried or railroaded into onion." In view of this the question now arises as to whether Canada should take the view that the recent vote DID NOT e.xpress Newfoundland's will "clearly and beyond the possi- bility of misunderstanding." This \t not necessarily so, for it is almost certain that many who voted for Responsible Government regarded k as a first step toward union. They think that a Newfoundland with its own Legislature and Gov- •mment would be in a position to bargain for better terms than Can- ada has yet. offered; and it is possible â€" even probable â€" that in their hearts as many as two-thirds •f the islanders really desire union. It is almost certain that union between Canada and Newfoundland . will come sooner or later, and that when it does, most Canadians will welcome it. But events of the past few years in Europe and elsewhere clearly show that it is far too serious a matter for the use of anything tven approaching "high pressure" ttiethods. Most of us think It would b« a fine thing, for both sides, if Kewfoundland should become Can- ada's tenth Province â€" but only If k does so willingly, and with the Unmistakable and Wide-spread ap- proval of the islanders. Great Britain Most of the news coming out of Britain recently concerned the Olympic Games or the Gus Lesne- Tich-Freddie Mills prize fight and matters of similar import. So an hem went almost unnoticed tell- ing that the British Government at long last had been able to cancel the rationing of bread. First imposed back in 1946, bread rationing seemed like the last straw to a people who- had under- gone so many hardships and priva- tions during the war years, and who had been looking forward to an easier time and a greater abundance of the good things of life, as soon as peace came. But it was not to be â€" and for a time bread rationing was strictly enforced, and was the means of saving countless bushels of badly- needed and hard-to-get wheat. More recently supplies have be- come more plentiful and most housewives have been able to buy extra bread without the use of the official "tickets." Still, the official putting of bread on the "coupon- free" list is a riftâ€" even if a small one â€" in the clouds, and will be welcomed by the British, even if every other staple food â€" except €sh and fresh vegetables â€" Is still strictly rationed. Germany The situation in Berlin is compli- cated by the fact â€" not generally understood in Canada and the Unit- ed States â€" that fear and distrust of Germany exists today on both sides of the Iron Curtain. To the people of France, Bilgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, on the one side, and to the people of Poland and Czechoslovakia on the other, an economically and po- litically strong Germany means ex- actly the same thing as an aggres- •ive and military-minded Germany. The British, although subjected to se-vere air attacks in the last war, escaped invasion and occupa- tion, and so cannot fully appreciate this feeling of distrust. .\nd in America, so many miles away from Europe, its terrible reality is not tlfen glimpsed. Just For Fun Fannie Brice, the comedienne, tells of how â€" during the war â€" a Marine came up and thanked her for the swell set of poker chips she had sent him. "Poker chips 1" raged Fannie. "Don't you know those were home-made cookic.i?" "Have it any way you like," wa.<i the reply. "Afl I know is that I won ninety bu4.ks with them in a game iait nt|^t." They Soon Will Be Canadians? â€" Most of the people of Newfoundland â€" who recently voted on the question of union with Canada â€" live nearby the sea from which their chief livelihood is drawn. This peaceful scene shows Plate Cove West in Bonavista Bay. PY A SixritC •/ A SixBiT Critic Early one morning late in July â€" which rather sounds as if we'd been taking a course in song-writing or some such â€" we received the shock of our life; such a shock that we're only getting around to report- ing it now. A junior member of the family had been giving that morning's paper the regular scru- tiny, which customarily consists of a thorough study of the comics, a scanning of the sports page head- lines, then tossing the journal aside as being of no further interest * ♦ * But on this occasion he came bouncing into the room where we were trying to persuade ourself that the alarm-clock had lied. "Just look at this" he exclaimed. "Look at what?" we wearily made answer, trying to pry our eyes open with- out the aid of a chisel. "Just look at the Big League standings," he said. "Gee, pop, it looks like you might be calling something right for once!" * • * Slowly it began to come to us. For as long as we've been connected with the sports writing dodge, it has been our custom to make three or four predictions per year â€" such as calling in advance the winner of the King's Plate, who will finish on top in the National Hockey League, and the like â€" and then ad- vising our clients to go and wager heavily, on something else. For the quality of our selections both on the racetrack and elsewhere, is famous; or perhaps "notorious" would be more nearly correct. * » « As an admirer once fondly put it, rlgbt after a steed we had made him bet on heavily finished a fast- fa^bg last, "You couldn"t pick your old man out of an igloo-lull of Eskimos .in .native .costume," â€" which will just go to show you. * « * Be that as it may, before the present baseball season opened we saidâ€" right here in printâ€" that we wouldn't be too much surprized if the 1948 Worlds Series turned out to be an all-Boston affaffir. And there, on this morning late in July we started out to speak of, were the Boston Braves leading the National loop by five full games, while in thi American the Red Sox were in front by two. * * * We know right well that such a state of things cannot possibly last. Judging of the future by the past w â- are absolutely certain that, be- for playoff time rolls around, some- thing dire and dreadful will have happened to either the Sox or the Braves, probably both. Still, If they can be in front even at the halfway mark, in spite of our call- ing them, they must be good gam* teams, and deserving of a whole heap of credit. » • * But nothirg's certain in sport except that the best of us can bo mistaken. John Drebinger was ro- cently recalling in The Times th« day that the great Dazzy Vanco looked Lito the clouded crystal ball and came up with the wrong an- swer. Dazzy at that time, was tho highest paid pitcher in basebalL collecting for his efforts on behalf of the Brooklyn Dodgers lomethlng Ilk* 25 thousand • year, which wM a whole lot of money then â€" and still la. If you ask our opinion. * * • The Dodgers were on a Sprins training trip and Daisy â€" whoH arm was feeling good and who was supremely confident o< winning had Invite ' a young and u Hqgig ^ the itti the ears of the New York Yankees in an exhibition game. • » • On the way there, Dazzy went to some p-.ins explaining to the cousin just how he would pitch to the famous "Murderer's Row" of the Yankees. Leading the lad to a front-row pew in the grandstand he said, "Now just you sit there and watch cl >sely how I do it." « * * Earl Combs was the New York- era' lead-off man; and when Earl popped out weakly to shortstop, the lad was saying to hin.self, '"Even if th.y pay Cousin ^ixzy 25 thousand a year it isn't enoughâ€" he'a handling those Yankees just like he told n- he would." « * « Then things began to happen. Mark Koen' -, second man up, smacked out a two-bagger. Lou Gehrig saw one of Dazzy's slants he li' "d the look of, and blasted a triple. Babe Ruth swung from the heels at - -e that was high and outside â€" and that's just where it â- \ ent â€" high over the right field wall and cutside the ball-yard. A triple was the best Bob Meusel could do, but Tony Lazzerl "poosh- ed one up" over left field barrier for a full r nd trip. That was sufficient for Vance; or rather it was sufficient for Uncle Wilbert Robinson, long suffering mana? r of the Dodgers, who promptly signalled Dazzy toward the showe :. Dazzy stalked off the diamond with his head hanging low, in decided contrast to his dudgeon, which was high indeed over the shellacking he had taken. « * • Later that evening, however, Dazzy had cooled out sufificiently to be able to t Jk to folks once more. Seeing the young coiisin in the lobby of the hotel he said, "Well. Ud, what did you think of It?" ""ousin Dazzy,"* was Ae lad's classic reply, "I never did see any- body make 25 thousand that easy." Time To Stop And Think ! What are said to be unreason- able wage demands on the part of Communist-led unions »r* bearing serious, and what might be disastrous results out on the Pacific coast. .\ week or so ago one of British Columbia's oldest and most productive gold mines â€" Silbak Premier â€" put up the shutters and called it a day; and it is said that other mines in that Province may have to follow suit. At the same time one of the West Coast's biggest ship-build- ing yards was sold to a lumber firm which will use it for drring and finishing wood. The mine closing, according to the Financial Post, has the most significant implications for the rest of the nation as it threatens the livelihood of some 600 mining town inhabitants; and in both cases the unions are Commun- ist-dominated. So the words of .â- ^. L. Lawes, president of Montreal Shipping and vice-president of the Ship- ping Federation of Canada sounded -with extra force in the ears of his Vancouver audience the other day. "Unless some propaganda is forthcoming from the unions adrising the men to knuckle down and work," said Mr. Lawes, "Canadian shipping will die a natural death." There are those who think that such a statement applies In a far wider field than merely shipping. Empty fruit jars should be kept lidded to keep them clean and protect the rims from chipping.
