Garner seemed to be in com- mand all the way, and after los- ing the first fall to X came on strong to take the second fall. However. while turning Mr. X for a gall, the hooded one caught the bottom rope and got the fall from Garner.

Local Forests In the Richmond Hill Zone largest operations are being car- ried out at Vivian Forest and in the Humber Valley Authority with some 75,000 trees being planted at each point. White pine makes up about 50 per cent of the present operation with smaller quantities of red pine, jack pine, spruce and cedar be- ing set out on suitable areas. Other plantings under way in the Richmond Hill Zone include 12.- 000 trees being underplanted and filling in insect damaged ar- eas in Uxbridge Forest. and 30.- 000 trees â€"â€" mixed white pine, spruce and cedar â€" on Crown Land adjoining Highway 400.

The award, to be administered by a commit- tee headed by Sir Ernest Mac- Mlllan. conductor Toronto Sym- phony Orchestra, will permit bllnd children to pursue musical studies in Europe, and marked a milestone in the recognition of the talents of Canadian sightless children. The meeting, attend- ed by representatives of the Braille Music Society Montreal, the C.N.I.B. and the Ontario School for the Blind, heard Mrs. E. C. Simpson. National Music Consultant, outline the progress made by the group during the past twelve months. New aids for the reading of music in Braille, development of bursaries and the progress of several students studying under the Committee's guidance, were among the items presented.

Present spring operations will include plantings at the six County Forests in this Zone as well as in the Grand Valley Au- thority, totalling in all nearly 450,000 trees. Approximately half of the trees are white and red pine with smaller quantities of white spruce and other spec- ies. According to reforestation staff present weather conditions are very favourable for survival but frequent rains have made working conditions difficult.

Well that may be, But this writer will reserve judgment, because we feel that Sullivan is a cinch to keep his belt and un- mask the mystery man to let some fan collect the $10. prize offered last week. Both boys are well disliked by the fans but we are certain most of them will be pulling for Sullivan to throw “St’inker” Mr. X.

This also applies in pre-season training in track and field. The smart track man doesn’t go out to the first work-out and try to run his fastest or jump as far as possible. Do your pre-season conditioning for at least 10 to 14 days before you even think of testing yourself. It may be hard to hold back from all-out effort when you feel so good but much harm can be done by going hard too soon. Remember, start slowly and gradually build up. GOOD HITTERS USE WRIST SNAP To become a really good‘batter you must develop wrist snap. By this I mean that you must be able to whip that bat through with a sudden flick of the wrists just before you hit the ball. Now to be able to perform this wrist snap you must develop a powerful pair of wrists and forearms. Here’s [how to do this: Get yourself the heaviest bat you can find. Then, wrap tape around the thick part of the bat until you have made it extra heavy. Now, hold the bat as though ready to hit. Hold that bat out in front of you about chest high and start whipping the bat back and forth with a sudden flick of your wrists. Don’t move your arms at all. Try to whip that .bat harder each time and with more power. Rest when your wrists and forearms get tired. Then do it with one hand and then the other until tired. Finish 01? by doing it again with two hands. Repeat this as often as possible. According to a survey of 946 expert trainers and coaches tea is the most effective and popular “pick-up” used to aid athletes recover after hard effort and to help them sustain effort throughout competition and games.
