Por thousandsof years, onions and

ln>many different parts of the -»orld.
The slaves who bmlt the Pyramids
In^-Ancient Egypt, more than 4,000
years ago, didn't have a very exciting
diet. But their meals ahvays con-talned
garlic or onions.
The F.jyptians, indeed, used onions
mcifche treatment of manv disea^es —
as'did Chlnese and Hindu medicme,
and the carly Slav.s.
Onicn and garlic were used for
cuiins warts, for stoppmg haemorr-ha*

diseases.

So much for histoi-y. What, really.

- Before answermg the question, let
us remembfr the sensatuon we ali ex-perlence

when we tiy to keep them at arms

The doctor explams thiis mdre pro-saically,
by savmg that the onion
gives off volatile substances which
irritate tne mucous membrane of the
cye — suostanccs called phytoncides.
Other plants have similar qualities,
some more, some less. The bu-ch
the juiuper and the oak pepper and
mnstard. cheriy and blackcurrant
leaves are examples. So are citrus
plants.
A well-known Sovict biologist, Pro-fessor

For a long time, Dr. P. Protopopov

and garlic in the treatment of tuber-iculosis.'
Tt has been establislied irre-futably,"
he said, "that onion and

"In the opinion of many scicntists"
he goes on, "one of the niost ef-fective

.,By means of special tubes a measured

Individual patients have been cured
of tubeiculosis by this mcthod by

A vast amount of research has bcsn

it IS "only a begmning".

The National Hockey Lcague
season is already seven weeks old,
and with the Olympic Winter
Games not far off, some inter­national
hockey news «rould not
be out of place. John Stetrart, on
a recent visit to Prague, has the .
foUowing to say about the hockey-mad
city of Prague:
I was able to take in a game the
other night and had an opportunity
afterof chattmg witn two of Czecho-slovakia's
players — Vladimir^ Za-brodsky,
who rates next to Zatopek
in popularity nere, and Charles Gut,
who will captain , Czechoslovakias
national team m the Olimpic Winter
Games m Italy next Pebruary.
Hemember ali that wordage about
how "rough" the Canadian Penticton
V:'3 were when they played here last
year? I asked Messrs. Zabrodsky and
Gut about it as my lead-off question.
They don't agree. They don't tliink
the Canadians were rough (not even
the Warwick brothers, who are known
to more people in Prague than Louis
St. Laurent or the capital of Can-ada).
• .
"They played hard and handed out
hard bodychecks — but thafs some­thing
we need to learn too," Za­brodsky
told. me: is English. Gut
nodded his head when the question
was translated: f or him.
"As a matter of fact," the star
centre of ,the Prague Spartak team
contmued, "we could use two or
three good Canadian coacnes to teach
• us S^our hard game."
: The Spartaks made monkeys of
the SWISS team in the game here. The
•scote was 12-T-l and should have been
,twice that. The Prague players are
'still a "bit weak m shootmg, tend to'

agreed, he even quöted me m the

^Weaknesses. They're a smart team,
good skaters and playmakers, good
backcheckers and strong defensively
even without the bodycheck. And Za­brodsky,
Gut and one or two others
can also handle their sticks-with-.
puckas good as most Canadian play­ers
these days.. If the Czechoslovak
Olympic team is made up of such
players, they'llbe a mighty hard
team to beat.
We also discussed.that controversy
over ' professionalis.Ti". Here's the
answer: Ali the players ihave steady

Ämateur Santee
Wins Reinstatement
After Suspension
The suspension and subsequent re­instatement
of Wes Santee, by the
U.S.'s Amateur Athletic Union, has
attracted a considerable atlention
and mterest m track and field circles
on this cont4nent.
Santee, a top mile-runner, losfc his
amateur status for acceptmg. $1,127.85
m expense money for three track
meets m California between May 14
and May 22. (Tlie A.A.U. permits
payment. to an amateur athlete of
$15.00 a. day for livmg expenses plus
travellmg. f are.)
Since this. was not the first time
Santee received more than the stipu-lated
amount pubhc. opimon was
aroused to such an extent that the
AJi..U. was swamped with proteits.
The result — Santee's suspension.
Sant«e claims that the A.A.U. ex­pense
quota isn't enough for him
and does not aeny that he has re­ceived
extra money. He states that
smce he IS a "top-fhght athlete",
who IS known almost everyvvhere,
he IS m constant demand for. pubhc
appearances of ali kmds, mcluding
TV and radio shows. An athlete of
his stature, Santee says, "simply can-not
live in good hotels, eat in decent
restaurants fulfill ius obligations",
and stay w'ithin the A-A.U. expense
rulmg.
One thlng that can be said about
this chap Santee, you can always
rely on him to teli you how good he
is plus what he expects to accomplish.

Chicago, USA, specializes in testmg
athletes; to determine what part oi
their anatomy or their nerves needs
exercismg. Many world leadmg sports
figures, such as Ezzard .Charles, Ro­ger
Bannister, Jessie Owens and
others, have made the trip to the
Doctor's physical research laboratory
m Chicago.
One of -the. latestvisitors to the
laboratory is a Canadian swimming
Star Sara Barbara of Brantford, Ont.
As a result of her vlSit to Or. Cureton,
Sara Barbara of Brantford, Ont.,.
Sara has been nick-named an Viron
athlete". This 14-J'ear-old . girl's
physical tests registered a. better
score than that of .Ezzard Charles
and her endurance can be matched
with that of Roger Bannister.
Dr. Cureton- has predicted that
some day,Sara Barbara will become:
the world's best backstroke swmimer
and that at the next Olympics* she
should become the second youngest
Olympic Champion m history. (The
lirst was a 14-year-old Holland swim-mer
who broke records at the 1936
Olympics). .
Today, Miss Barbara holds every

Now it might be pomted out here
for Clarity's Sake that just because
the company paid for, pnnted, edited,
proof read and distributed tneir com­pany
paper that this didn't mean
that they had. any Ultenor Motives.
Heavens to Betsy, no! There were
some cads in the shop who told Ulys­ses
that the company mainly want-ed
Ideas and Suggestions tnat would !
make more profit. i
. But Ul.vsses paid no heed to the-e \
Agitators and Ingrates. no,t to forget {
Reds, Bolsheviks, Anarchists and
Ag^nts.
It was durmg the particularly hot
weather thah; the company introduced
their Pian to achieve the Better Way.
And it was hot, humld, sticky, swealy,
nasty." smelly and fumey in tlie
plant. • • • . .
. So right off the bat Ulysses hit
pn a-Suggestion. His Idea was that
tne company should install au* con-ditiomng.
His reasonmg, based, of
course, on the Better Way, was that
tne company claimed it was mterest-.
ed m the vorkers' health, that health
15 very^ badly affected. by extreme
heat. and that the Company made the
air conaitioning units anyway so
they'd be able to get them wholesale,
as it were. •
. Ulysses- wrote out his Suggestion
and spelled Air Conditionmg, Em­ployees'
Health and Extreme Heat
ali with capit4l letters. ."I^hen quite
proudly he placed his Suggestion In
tne Red- Suggestion Box. Red, mmd
you, was so. the box would stand out
and 'had- nothing whatsoever to do
with the political . thinking of the
company officials.
A. while later, it still being hot,
sticky, etc, Ulysses hit on another
happy Idea. So he suggested that
tn s company should build a Swim-mingPool
for the employees and that
children in the commumty could use
it durmg the daytime.
. Ta-j3 Idea, Ulysses reckoned, was
a good siep towards the Better Way.
The next. Idea that Ulysses sub-mitted
was that the company should
Cut its Prices on things and Raise
air of the Workers' Wages by 15c
an hour. His Suggestion read: — "as
the company IS looking for the Better
Way this would make it possible for
u.=; to Buy -More of the Better Things
and this would mean a Better Way
of Life for the employees."
Ulysses, as we remarked earlier,
was indeed a Man of Ideas.
Thus it was that m rapid succes-sion
he suggested Ideas for a Cafe­teria
to be installed sellmg Food at
Co-t Price; that Women in the shop
should. be paid Equal Pay as they
wanted to enjoy the I
