Toronto Next Stop! Sununer seems to have sort of sneaJsed upon us and witb it the realization that tbeie is only about thre* weeks to go to the Song and Music Festival of the Finnish Organization of Canada wbich is faeing beld this year in Tarmola. The exceptionaJly cold spring which has prevaUed in Sudbury has lulied pur senses to the fact that it is actually already summer time and in ihree more months we wiU have f alL But before f ali comes there is an action packed summer ahead of us that will keep us hopping. The first big event of the summer is of course the Song and Music Festival. People throughout Ontario and ali the way across Canada are already at the advanced stage of planning as far as participation goes. Young and öld alike will be trecking to Toronto to this important festival of Fin-nish- Canadians. { That this will be one of the biggest and best festivals ever is indicated by the fact that in Sudbury alqne the Finnish Sävel Ghoir is no>v bigger than ever withover 50 people in the choir. It is understandablelhatsuch a large chöii- which includes old and young alike will drag along quite an entour-age. As a matter of fact about ali that will be left in Sudbury over the Ist of July weekend will be the Inco smoke stacks and even they are situated in Copper ClifL Torontpnians will-face quite a billeting problem if they intend to put up ali the guests who will,'be migrating to Tar-mola on that particular weekend.Wetbink w take along the old sleeping bag just in case we have to sleep uhder a leafy roof. Ever since vvestarted to think seriously about going to Toronto for the Song and Music Festival we began to' kick around the idea of getting. ali the Club News readers tögether to see what the readers thinfc of the page and discuss ways of improving it to best serve thie interests of Finnish-Canadian youth. - ^ • We are firmly convinced that this page could be built-up into sbmething that would be really interesting and some-thing thaj the younger generation. simply couldn't do without. The quesiton is: How are we going to do it. Such a gathering could also serve to help us get tp know; each other a little better and perhaps a discussion on the future of Finnish-Canadian youth would be in order. The more we thinköf the idea, the better weMike it. As a matter of fact your editor is willing to set up the coffee if our readers in Toronto set the time; and place and make the other necessaryarrangements. It is not often that we make such a reckless invitation, SO you better grab it fast, Toronto, before we reconsider! . The fact that there has been some discussion of the older Vapaus readers getting tögether to discuss the paper should encourage iis to take the initiative in this matter and make some concrete changes for the better. We do not wish to make any specific proposals at this • time, but we do-have" a number of them floating around that we intend to work on in the next three weeks. We also hope that other readers will do likewise and come to the meeting with lots of proposals and criticisms about this particular page: i.,.»^ We'naight'warn' yiiw in' ädvance that if' you have isome-thing to raise " H " about» you'll have to do it in a loud clear voice, because sincetaking over this job, we have become quite accustomed to being beefed at and generally shrug it off before it sinks in. In addition to the Song and Music Festival, a massive youth festival willbe held in Camp Naivelt on the same vveekend and because the main events of the Song and Music Festival take place on Sunday or in the evening, it will be possible for sports minded young Finnish-Canadians to par-ticipate in the sports program of the youth festival which will be held Saturday. The sports program includes a number of track and field events, voUey ball, soft ball and swiriiming events. The com-petitions will include many different age groupings for both girls and boys and the competitions are open to ali. On the other hand many sports minded young people have expressed a desire that a sports program be arrariged in con-junction with the Song and Music Festival at Tarmpla'where athletes will get a chance to try themselves out against their opponents at the coming liittojuhlas. The feeling is thätfSun-day morning could be devoted to a limited sports program and would encourage many young people to come to the Song and Music Festival. v * . What do you say, Yritys? PRIZE FISH STORIES itäisen, idet sanom^' Saffl^J t lukea *-j e b d i ^ There must be a host of fisbing I stories on wbich to draw for a cor- I ner sucb as tbis. ' We canvassed a |few devotees of tbe sport with the Iquestion: wbat is your favourite fishing anecdote? Weil, • we got a lot of laugbs, l i u t no material for jpublication, because (as tbe boys 1 were quick to explain) these were I strictly for tbe rugged outdoor type. Ronnie relented enougb to teli us I the one about the two fellows i n a public park. Tbey were seated; on I a bencfa, and one was busy casting^ IA policeman, walking by, stopped jand stared at tbe man going tbrou-gh the motion. Puzzled be asked the felIow's buddy, "wbat goes on here?" " F i s b i n g , " the guy snort-jed, "can't you see the nian's fish-ing?" " B u t there aint no Csh berfi." |the officer remonstratcd. "Nd fish?" cried the buddy as bc pro-ceeded to row "reel i t i n , Jack. and j l e f s go wbere there are some." Tben tbere's tbe one that Jofan I tells about fbe gear and eqoipment Ithat goes with tbe fisbing trip. läke Itbe time Mike and Pete were going jand divided up tbe job of prepara-jtions: Mike to bring tbe fisbing gear jand Pete the provision&:When tbey [duly arrived at the lodge and i n - jspected what each bad brought, JMlke^s gear was pronounced ade- Iquate,' but Pete's iprovi^ions w€Hre [qoestioned. Tbese to be <wo [bottlesr of wbiskey, three cases of [beer, and a loaf of bread iCoOf, of course). Mike was nonplussed: ''virhat the heck we gonna do witb a l i that bread," he wanted to know. ' T h e n there's the true story tbat appeared in tbe daily press a few days ago. Remember reading it? It tops the most fantastic catch we've yet heard by any fisberman, anywberes. Tbe 67-foot trawler Jennie was moving at a leisurely three knots off the US Atlantic coastllne about n o o n , A p r i l 22. The fluke were 'funning and the five-man crew was happy w i t h anticipa- Uon. Suddenly the trawler jarred to a spine-snapping hait and. star^ ed cutting the water in theopposite direction about 20 mplL The crew -vas flabbergasted; to put i t mildly. The Stern where the net was attacb-ed, kept sinking Iower and Ibwer as tbe ship backpedaUed — finally to snap and break away. Caught in tbe net was ^ fish to end a l l fisb stories — the giant $55 million atom-powered sub Nautilus! The skipper of tbe fisbing boat sObmit-ted a bUl of $1300 for loss ofnet^ cable and fisbing gear to the US navy. and a story about the whow>er tbat "got away," m » • * \ F i n a l l y , and «tiU a true story, membeis of a union local i n Y e r - mont negotiatod a new contract in wfaicb Blay 1 i s provided as a paid holidagr f o r the opening of the troot season. Now thafs a fish-story wortb another look v h e n unlon ne-gottations come around, ' Speed Sponsois FiistMeetOf The Season The first sports mect of tbe cur-rent scason i n the.Sudbury district is being sponsored by the Speed A;C. and w i l l be held at the Jehu field Sunday. .lune 24th. V Contrary. to many 'othfer years many athletes are m good sh&pe aftcr an activ^i skiing.season and non-iik:ers whii)x>ed themselves into shape to take; part- i n / t h e cross-countiy run championships spoc-/ sored by Jehu 2 weeks ago. •' An unusually large number' of events and classes is induded in the program for the day;' A ' ^ v e n t is scbeduled for open. «nder 21 and boys under 17.

In addition to the. five and three events there w i U b e an. open 800 m. event and a 60 m. 'sprint for children under 12. AIthough:voIley ball is not offi-cially included i n the sports program i t is hoped tbät a l l district elubs w i l l have a volley ball team on hand so that an unofficial tour-nament; can be held. Many local sportsmen: feel~ tbat a l l meets fhis summer should be concluded with a volley ball toumament, so that there Avillbe a number of teams entered for the volley ball cham-pionships: during the liittojuhla. Tbe meet will get undenvay at 11 A M . and all competitors are requested to get their entries in at least an hour before; mmmm Professional Wrestling, S^d End For Joe Louis' Colorf ui Career Created by Lack Of Understanding Recent incidents i n the southemi States and also in Dresden, Ont.^ where a restaurant owner was found guilty of racial discrimina-tion/ have created a greatdeal of-discussion about the position of the 'Negroes. The foIlowing is a letter written by Myma Mäki of Lockerby. and published in the Sudbury Daily Star; I have been röadiDg The Star's series on the "prejudices" and non-prejudices of the American people towards tbe Negroes. The people wbo hatef/them and feel SO strongly against^them do not (I think) sit down and think the matter o u t Do theyiever con-sider themselves i n the shoes of the Negro? Wbat would they feel i f they were Negroes? Negroes are no different from anyone else, as i t has been stated many times by many people. Just because they are of a different color^ does that condemn them? No! i Do we feel as prejudiced to-wardwhlte4people of other nation-alities? It says in the Bible, "Love thy neighbor, but: people;.in the neighboring countries,: everyone you meet, "treat them ss you would l i k e to be treated." ^ The time has come when people should start fighting for'the rights of the Negroes. The people op-posing this are those w h o d o se their ears and do not want to be taught some sense; These are the most ignorant ;of all bumans and tbe most to be asbamed of ; Negroes have leamed to a-cer-tain extent to take the feeiing to-wards: them in their' stride, but .slowly day.' by: day more and more are b e ^ n i n g to feel they should not be treated as tbey are. This business about not i e t t i n g them in restaurant^, i)U5es, wasbrooms, ct(;, i s absolutely nonsense and a thing wfaicb people • should be; asbamed of. These laws could easily be abolished if cörrcct steps' were taken. By ADAM LAPKIN - The name Joe Xxiuis doesn't ring any bells with my kids o r tbehr friends of their generation — ex-' cept for those ;wbomemorizethe| record books and.have read that he was one of the great boxing cbam-pions of all time. But when we relative oldsters hear the name we remember the Brown Bomber of Old. We recall the sUm, trim. yoimg Louis of 20 years ago who knocked* the Nazi Max Schmeling and the mytb of white supremacy out of the ring. We recall that he wasong of Hhe pioneers i n b r e a k i n g down jimcrow i n sports, and i how at an , e a r l i e r and less advanced stage i n the. f i g ht for Civil rights Louis was regarded by Negroes everywhere as a syntbol of their fight for; f uU citizenship. So f ar' there is sadness and even tragedy in the image of the >npw middle-aged and flabby Louis tum* i n g wrestler to make a few bucks. There is also anothcr tragedy highlighted by the Negro press and by the N . Y . Post. " Post sports writer Milton Gross reported thismonth in the despätch f rom St. Petersburgh, Florida,' re-printed in the Chicago Defcnderi "1 saw Joe Louis wrestling last night, which was indignity enough, but the greater indignity was Ihat he went through his burlesque before an audiencc f rom which Negroes wereexcluded." • Gross says he told Louis just few minutes before the match wcnt on that the Gable Arena, where the wrestlmg 'mateli was slagcd, was jimcrow. " A t least I bad to believe that he didn't know earlier." Gross writes. "He said so. He threaten-ed to walk out of the dressihg room and take a plane to Miami immediately without going on. He was argued into staying and wrest-hng.:' ^ , . ( Louis explained tbat he bad no chance to find out about the long-time jimcrow policy at the. Gable Arena. ^ - ' "Monday I was in Tampa," he said. "Last night I was i n Lake Worth. Tonight Tm here; Tomor-row in Fort Lauderdale. I didn't see the papers. I didn't know.'' Out of his very explanation em-erged the tawdry image of the one-time champ.crawling through tbe ropes at one little second-rate sta-dium after the other, night after night. After the) match was over Louis told Gross, " I don't want tbat kind of money'" and said he would con-tribute it to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People education fund. He also said he wouldnever perform again in a:]imcrow arena; More Important than the money was the spark of th6 old Louis in his statements indicating how he felt about jimcrow. ' " I believe him because I want tb believe," Gross w r o t e . " J wanl to believe hira because he was more than a great Champion. He was a mcn of integrity. He was a man of *• honor and ns Jimmy Cannon once wrote: *A credit to his race — the liuman race*." I think he is stiU a l l of that But It isn't easy to keep the spark alive while burrying from one cheap wrestling, arena to another, trymg to meet bills. trying to raise the dough to pay otf the big tax claim by the U.S. treasury depart* ment. : :Thei-e's no point being sore at the • harassfd and weary Louis. He was fleccod by promoters and hangers-on^. socked by the government, torced to keep selUug. his name and l.is reputation after the prowess and youth weregone. . Old fi-4ht£rs dun't fade away EspeciJiIly if they are Negroes, they keep on fighting o r wrestling and srrounging around to pay the b i l l collector. vSurcly a great atblete l i k e Louis should have been rewarded by a grateful country and permitted to retire or to find bimseif a new profession. Heart Disease Is Uncommon In. Asian Countries Heart disease — the No. 1 killer i n Canada and the United States — causes httle trouble In the F ar East. In no Asian country does hearl disease rank among the three top killers. Rarely does it appear aidong the top 10. India, Indonesia and Thailand do not even bother to.-kecpbeart disease statistics; - In Asia, the top killers are epi-demic diseases and. others such as tuberculosis, beri-beri, cancer, ma-lar^ ia, yaws and pneumonia, j.yhe theory held by some U.S. hearl^ specialists that a high fat diet can be blamed for the heuvy toll finds support by some authori-ties in the Far East,, It was pointed out that the staple diet i n most Asian countries is corn-poscd of rice, fish, fruits, vegetables and other foods low i n fat content. Korean authorities said the ^'only rcason'^': they could give for the Wide gap in heart death rates In Korea and the U S . was that Ko-rcans eat less meat and f at Indian authorities blamed seden^ tary life and ricb foodv for the hjgher. heart disease death rate among India's city dwellers than among villagers who i l v e a more physically strenuous life, with a simplier diet. Alerts Is Resorting To Scientific Metiiods T H I N K I N G IT OUT : Explaining the advantages of his Company's new machine, a sales-man declared, "Their electronic brains can do everything. They can work the machines. They can add up the pay checks, They can cor-rect their own mistakes, They can even think." "Thafs no good for 'me," re-torted' the businessman. "They'd soon be joining the union." THE SINGER OF THE FINNISH PEOPLE I f tbey are at a l l homan, :pe<tp!e can leam to live witb otbers of the same race no matter to sizc or color. OUT o r TIJNE?

There äire people in the World to whose lot have fallen the rare 'happiness and honour of being the embodiments of the cultural aspirations of their country. Such a man, the Singer of his native land; JS the famous Finnishvcomposer, Jean Sibelius. Throuj^out the lo;jg years of bis l i f e he has produced a large number of works —. sym-phonies and sympbonic poems a concerto for violin and; orchestra, quartcts,picces for the pianoforte and songs. Bvery pageof his music bears the stamp. of a, never-to-ber repeated indivjduality. Look into his face — the great forebead. the searching gaze of the eyes deep-in under his prominent brows and you feel^tbe blendmg of severity and unrevealed tendcr* ness, o£ deep thought and an un-t> endu]g will. Tlse music o£ Sibelius ix like himseli, a l e f l e c t i cn of tfie tbougbfs and feelings; of bi^ people. For ages now bave, tbe Finnish people waged war on the sevcre northem nature, a war in which the spirit of the people gatheicd &trcoglh> i n v/hicb vere dev^Ioped the finest features of the national character and tbe na-tion's woi-ks of genius werc fmm. On this sOil the ori^asA musical ^OA of Jean SibftUus came f o f uU florescence. In the monumental images of his symphonies, his patriotic poem F i n - l a n d i n the elegiac l y r i c i sm of Valse triste, the iiymphonic fantasias o» the themes of th<f Finnish poetical cpic, the simple melcdies of his song», breathing of the freshness of folk tunes—^ i n all these it is the very iBoul of Ihe-Finnish people that is s u i g i i ^, Vou often hear people saying that Jean Sibelius's music is per-meyted with the poetical melan-choly of northem scenery. We can hardly agree with tbat It is not a passive rnelancholy that dwclls in tlie 3ound£> of his compos«tlons, \mi the^- n*/an(y mournfulneiss of elegy- Porn of a strong wJll, his a n has its moments of tense erca-ti vc power - of enraptured strug-gle for the triuroph of a radiant Jife; i t is the vitality, the reality pf his art thai make it near and liear to ntiUfons of people.

S:!^lJus/cetebrated his nineiietb blrtbday {n December. Seasonably unseasonable weather has knocked the Alerts club off its Schedule as far as getting the field into shape is concerned. Per-sistent rains have prevented the track and field from drylng out to the point where work could be undertaken satisfactorily. It appears tbat the weather has f i n a l l y caught up wllh the season and the preliminary work on the track was started Wednesday. Tbe job of levclling the track is a minor one after a special grader was built last year. But after the ini-tial levelling is done, o flhal touch must be made w i t h ' rakes and the dnders spread^ so they w i l l have time to pack before Liittojuhla. It seems the smoke emitted by the Copper C l i f f smeltcr stacks has killcd off all vegctatibn in the sttr* rounding area, but; the club has always been plagucd witb a heavy crop of hay whlch has a tendency to spread from the centre field onto the track. This yeär modcrn' Scientific me? thods are being used to combat this nulsance with the applicatlon of a Chemical which, is reputcd to have the q\iaUties of kilUng all vegetation in sight It Is too carly to tellVhether i t lives up to these predict/ons but we'll ^know i n .the next few days and pass on the inforraation to other clubs wbo may face the same problem. I n any case, no time is to be wasted . i n getting the track and field in first class shape, so it is to be hoped that club members and supporters"i^ill turn out in large numbers to the talkoot whlch will be held regularly over the follow^ jng wcelcs. rS «4*1 rssrr»..

" N o t h i i t g Is as much fun as t used to be." UNUBCIDED A little boy hurried to get the evening paper off the porch. To* morrow wa8 the picnic day and he wanted to read the weather fore-cast. "WeU, dear". said his mother, "what do they predict?". ' " i l i e y haven't decided yet", gloomily replled the youngster. "Haven't decided?" queried his mother. " N o " , replied the youth. "It says 'unsettled'." . B y B O B W A R D , One ot the gravcst Itcrtis we'vc run across for a long time wo8 nows that grave diggeis i n Los Angeles bad been locked out. ' Of course, we must adniit that anyone being locked out of a graver yard is news in itself (hat could. hardly be burlcä on a back page.

The possible rclation of smoking to lung cancer is an interesting and thought-provoking subject; A l - though it has not been condusivtly established, there is sufficlent proof to indicate that smoking and espccially long-conttnucd and h<;avy smoking m a y t>e one of the chief causes of lung cancer, According to statistics, lung cancer causes around 24,000 deaths a year in the United States. This puts i t i n the category of epldemic diseascs. The rcasons Why people smoke are many and varied. Most people £moke because they are convinced it relaxes their nerves. Otbers because of the force of habit -and because it gives them somcthing to do wjth their hands as well as lend-ing an a i r of «ophistication. The question that has to be asked Is — r JK it worth it? Doctors who doubt or deny a cause and effect relatlon between smoking and lung cancer point out that death rates from tbis disease are higher i n cities than on the farm. Tbcrefore, tbey argue, the cause mu&t be smog or exbaust fumes They are p a r t l y r i g b t because. smog atid smoke ^from.: Industries' definitdy contribute to l u n g caocer A suneyrecentlyconducted i n tbe UJ5. proved tbat not only were the effects beavier i n the use of cigars and pipes, but also that the smcker %'/ho lived a more peaceful exisience i n a s m a U t o w n o r country place were more apt to rcduce smoking : tensions considerably, compared to fast l l v h i g city dwellers- ^ . Another widely used argument I» that smoking could harJlycau.10 eancer of the inner lung without causing many cancers of the more exposed larynx. Yet the death rate from the larynx (throat) «m-cer has not gone up in the step witb those, from lung cancer. This question wa8 lacklcd by an cpider-miologist who created quite a stir when he produced cancers, consist? cnlly on tlie backs oi mice,by using tobacco tar. Larynx cancer nas become common but is easlfer to get at Wtth' surgery than a cancer deep within tbe lungs, This is one lea-son why the death rate is not that much greater. .

Toronto Next Stop!
Sununer seems to have sort of sneaJsed upon us and witb
it the realization that tbeie is only about thre* weeks to go to
the Song and Music Festival of the Finnish Organization of
Canada wbich is faeing beld this year in Tarmola.
The exceptionaJly cold spring which has prevaUed in
Sudbury has lulied pur senses to the fact that it is actually
already summer time and in ihree more months we wiU have
f alL But before f ali comes there is an action packed summer
ahead of us that will keep us hopping.
The first big event of the summer is of course the Song
and Music Festival. People throughout Ontario and ali the
way across Canada are already at the advanced stage of
planning as far as participation goes. Young and öld alike
will be trecking to Toronto to this important festival of Fin-nish-
Canadians. {
That this will be one of the biggest and best festivals ever
is indicated by the fact that in Sudbury alqne the Finnish
Sävel Ghoir is no>v bigger than ever withover 50 people in
the choir. It is understandablelhatsuch a large chöii- which
includes old and young alike will drag along quite an entour-age.
As a matter of fact about ali that will be left in Sudbury
over the Ist of July weekend will be the Inco smoke stacks
and even they are situated in Copper ClifL
Torontpnians will-face quite a billeting problem if they
intend to put up ali the guests who will,'be migrating to Tar-mola
on that particular weekend.Wetbink w take along
the old sleeping bag just in case we have to sleep uhder a
leafy roof.
Ever since vvestarted to think seriously about going to
Toronto for the Song and Music Festival we began to' kick
around the idea of getting. ali the Club News readers tögether
to see what the readers thinfc of the page and discuss ways
of improving it to best serve thie interests of Finnish-Canadian
youth. - ^
• We are firmly convinced that this page could be built-up
into sbmething that would be really interesting and some-thing
thaj the younger generation. simply couldn't do without.
The quesiton is: How are we going to do it.
Such a gathering could also serve to help us get tp know;
each other a little better and perhaps a discussion on the
future of Finnish-Canadian youth would be in order.
The more we thinköf the idea, the better weMike it. As
a matter of fact your editor is willing to set up the coffee if
our readers in Toronto set the time; and place and make the
other necessaryarrangements. It is not often that we make
such a reckless invitation, SO you better grab it fast, Toronto,
before we reconsider! .
The fact that there has been some discussion of the older
Vapaus readers getting tögether to discuss the paper should
encourage iis to take the initiative in this matter and make
some concrete changes for the better.
We do not wish to make any specific proposals at this •
time, but we do-have" a number of them floating around that
we intend to work on in the next three weeks. We also hope
that other readers will do likewise and come to the meeting
with lots of proposals and criticisms about this particular
page: i.,.»^
We'naight'warn' yiiw in' ädvance that if' you have isome-thing
to raise " H " about» you'll have to do it in a loud clear
voice, because sincetaking over this job, we have become
quite accustomed to being beefed at and generally shrug it
off before it sinks in.
In addition to the Song and Music Festival, a massive
youth festival willbe held in Camp Naivelt on the same
vveekend and because the main events of the Song and Music
Festival take place on Sunday or in the evening, it will be
possible for sports minded young Finnish-Canadians to par-ticipate
in the sports program of the youth festival which
will be held Saturday.
The sports program includes a number of track and field
events, voUey ball, soft ball and swiriiming events. The com-petitions
will include many different age groupings for both
girls and boys and the competitions are open to ali.
On the other hand many sports minded young people have
expressed a desire that a sports program be arrariged in con-junction
with the Song and Music Festival at Tarmpla'where
athletes will get a chance to try themselves out against their
opponents at the coming liittojuhlas. The feeling is thätfSun-day
morning could be devoted to a limited sports program
and would encourage many young people to come to the Song
and Music Festival. v * .
