But now that Bridie Murphy"s In the news, and others are claiming that they recall an earUer Ufe, we can reveal the tale of the hypnotized boss. This particular boss; under hypno-tlc suggestion, recalled several earlier lives. But, of course, that comes later in the story. It ali happened a number of years ago. And as we said earlier wewould never have mentioned i t at ali i f it wasu't for ali of the news about B r i die Murphy. ; It was at negotiation time at the Pffft Electric Co. The boss. Nuddin* D. (or Doing) Pffft. was up to his usual tricks. Like, for instance saying 'no' ali the time. Matter of f act this partlcula:r year, Nuddin* D. was in such 'noing' form that he was, saying 'no' to the com-mittee even before they asked for -inytjiing. Nuddin' D. PfffC It mlght be said here. wa5 a self-made mnn. And this fact. whicb he kept telUng tbe corn-mittee over and over, led one wag to remark that " i f he was self-made. it was a classical example c l uoskiUed labor." i o keep the record stralght It should aisobe stated that Nuddin^O. came right: up from the xanks » of a long line of miUionaires^ I n any event the committee was making about as much progress nego-tiating with Nuddin' D. as John Vo&- ter Dulles is currently making convln-cing India to drink Coca Cola. > I t was at about this time that a movement started i n the shop to draft Obtical J . Gladeye onto the commit» tee. Obtical J . was ä student of hyp-nosis.. It. was even nunored In the :!hop that with one glance he could make Time-study Men forget that they'd come out to time him. .Definite'y on the record was the fact that he had hypnotized the cafeteria personnel into confessing Just what went into the.meat ples they sold. The disclosure,- i t . m i g h t be pointed out sent the meat piesale as PEROIVAL'S PROGRAM Wrong Way on Right Track B Y KELL HARRIS ... ... . . . ; . , , , ., •. . Lloyd Percival, track and field coach.head.of Sports College of C BC f ame,: and of tentime outspoken eri tie of happenings in Canadian sports, put this on the record recenfy: "We (Canada) are: the only major country in .the World without at least some sort of overall development pro- .gram. and our record i n international competition shows it. " I n addition OUT standards of phy-* sical fitness are among the lowest of any civilized country in the World, according to a nationwide survey. Lack of fitness. means a tremendous i n - crease in hypokinetic diseases ^ those which. are caiised • by. physical iaacUvi-ty — and Canadians are particularly prone to this type, especially in the • 30 to 40 age "group." So what does Mr. Percival and his Sports College conclude? Priväte enterprise is the solution. •• •• .. ^ •• •.•«. •— .»,••,• Recently, together with sports, business and physical. education figxires, he announced the formation of the < Canadian Amateur-Sports and Physical Fitness Development .Service backed: by a $700,000 fund from p r i väte corporations and the GBC. and to be operated by Sports College. Here's what is planned to happen: There . w i l l b e weekly national broadcasts via CBC, a national week-ly TV program, a monthly instruction nev/spaper, several motion pictures, booklets and bu!letins. In addition, there wm be travelling clinics, rcoaching • schools headed by Sports College experts in physical education; training, nutrition and so on. Ali will be available to any group wishing them and the take-off date is March 1. » * * Says Percival With laudableenthu-siasm:" We hope to make Canadians the most sjjorts and fitness literate people in the world." Percival, who a few weeks ago thought the armed services wouId be the best place to develop Canadian athletes, döesh't seiem to like the idea of govemment-sponsored programs, for he says: "Although programs such as are operated i n Russia might have an advantage. In that the people pf the Sovlet Union can ber^imented and subsidized, we are confident that onr program willprovide Canadians with as comprehensive and effective a Service as can.be:foundanywhere in the World.'' Which is just plain gobbledygoofc However one may laud the äesire of these folk. to do something about the shamefui sports and recreation situa-t i o n i n this country, a $700,000 pian from private enterprise won't scratch the surface. How many sports fields and swim-ming tanks wjll it build? H3W many athlete.s w^Il it put into serious training for the Olymplc Games this year? No. Mr.. Percival. You are"ön the right track, but you are running in the wrong; direction. It will make Sports College a bigger name and i t will certainly help Canadians to be-come more fitness-minded. But it wont buy gym tcunks or spike shoes for athletes or pay anyone's fare to Melbourne. f But i f i t makes Canadians more aware of how disgracefui the situation really is, so that theyll put more heat under the place that n e e d s i t u p in Ottawa, It w i l l b e a l i tO" the good. , It ali those sportsminded people that met in Toronto io launch this new program with such fanfarewou1d together drop a Sharp note t o M r .

This is the question answered by the American Heart Association in its recent leaflet, Heart Attack. The leaflet notes that the usual symp-toms of a heart attack include a sudden gasping for air, 5weating and intense pain. Sometlmes the victim will lose consciousness. vAll of these signs are-likely to spell coronary thrombosis, particularly i f the victim i s : a man above the age of 35. Coronary thrombosis occtirs wihen a blood elot partially o* entirely shuts off the supply of blood to the heart from the coronary artieries. •What can the bystander do to Oielp the victina? First of ali, call a doctor. Heart attacks have never been known to re^ond to first aid, and the weUr intentioned amateur can do much more hann than good. However, this döesn't. mean you need stand help-lessly by. :" 1$. is prefectly correct to help the patient to get into the most com-fortable position possible, which will be the one in which he or Ähe finds it easlest .to breathe. Loosening' tight clothing such as belts and shirt col-lars wlll aiso easethe patienfs suffer. ing in many cases. At the same time, try to do everything possible to keep the patient from getting , chllled- "There they go, askmg for wage increases again when I caö't even make ehds meet*' . - - Remember the body, and particularly the circulatory system, is engaged ih a life and death.struggle to adjust to the sudden ch'anges caused by the heart attack, and any addltional a d - justments required by the need to .respond to chilling won't help,, Many people have been told that the first thing to do when confron-ted by a heart attack is to reach for the whiskey bottle. Not: so. the leaflet points ,out.. Do not give the patient . anything to e a t o r drink. There are conditions under which alcöhol is helpful to the coronary victim, but only: a doctor can de- •cide. when that is. The rule for tÄe layman is: nothing to drink^ and Chat goes for coffee, tea a nd water, as well as for liquor.

" There comes a polnt when the roc-/ ketship attains a speed of about 6 1/2 miles per second. At this speed : it traye's round the earth like a new moon,/making the fuU Joumey along Its 'elliptical orbit in something like eight hours. This inltial rocket is un-manned. Its cabin houses only insr txuments and apparatus, ali automatto and radlo-controlled, and these Instruments are constantly "tuned" to thej^arth, ready to receive any order It may send. ; I n time this order comes. When the rocket is at the topmost point of the elUpse, the engines are swliched on agaln. addinganother mlle per second to its' velocity.. This; causes a tremendous spurt that brlngs the rocr ket-out to its "stationary orbit", a body moving along it in an equatorial plahe always remalns over the same polht of the earth's surface, for here It performs Its revolution around. the eartb In 24 hours. ' * It is very convenient to have the rocket thus stationary overhead. This makes it eäsyto keep it under teles-copic obse^ation and to control it by beamed radio signals. And on this stationary orbit the craft Is kept un-tU It i t e been refuelled. A similar rocket wlth a cargo of fuel is despatched to the. stationary orbit and, wlth radio signals controlling the operation, the two rockets are brought together and the fuel d uUy transfer-red. The tanks refllled, the Jet engines are switched on again and give the Space shlp a fresh impetus, i n - creasing its speed by another half a. mlle or SO per second. Four and half day*s travel at this speed brings the ship to the moon's orbit. It. begins to move Parallel to that orbit, then, [succumblng to the moon's attraction, stärts to fall on i t . . . I t i t going to crash?: No, provision has been made against that, A sensitive radio beam follows the rocket and at a certain point i n ; its approach to the moon's surface It. "tums" the. craft so that the nozzles face forward, switche& on the engines, and the rocket makes a smooth landing. The flight is over. But It would scarcely have been worth all the labor expense and time merely to ship a few tons of dead metal to the moon!

A HOPELESS CASE FQR HYPNOTISM
B Y BOB WABD
We never wou!d have mentioned
this.
We would have been afraid to.
I f we had of. folks i n the union
vpould have declared "Old Wards'mar-bles
are rattling again.^' Indeed some
citizens would have bluntly stated
"the guy's nuts!"
But now that Bridie Murphy"s In
the news, and others are claiming
that they recall an earUer Ufe, we can
reveal the tale of the hypnotized boss.
This particular boss; under hypno-tlc
suggestion, recalled several earlier

in the story.
It ali happened a number of years
ago. And as we said earlier wewould
never have mentioned i t at ali i f it
wasu't for ali of the news about B r i die
Murphy.
; It was at negotiation time at the
Pffft Electric Co. The boss. Nuddin*
D. (or Doing) Pffft. was up to his
usual tricks. Like, for instance saying
'no' ali the time.
Matter of f act this partlcula:r year,
Nuddin* D. was in such 'noing' form
that he was, saying 'no' to the com-mittee
even before they asked for

Nuddin' D. PfffC It mlght be said
here. wa5 a self-made mnn. And this
fact. whicb he kept telUng tbe corn-mittee
over and over, led one wag
to remark that " i f he was self-made.
it was a classical example c l uoskiUed
labor."
i o keep the record stralght It
should aisobe stated that Nuddin^O.
came right: up from the xanks » of
a long line of miUionaires^
I n any event the committee was
making about as much progress nego-tiating

PEROIVAL'S PROGRAM
Wrong Way on Right Track
B Y KELL HARRIS
... ... . . . ; . , , , ., •. .
Lloyd Percival, track and field
coach.head.of Sports College of C BC
f ame,: and of tentime outspoken eri tie
of happenings in Canadian sports, put
this on the record recenfy:
"We (Canada) are: the only major
country in .the World without at least
some sort of overall development pro-
.gram. and our record i n international
competition shows it.
" I n addition OUT standards of phy-*
sical fitness are among the lowest of
any civilized country in the World, according
to a nationwide survey. Lack
of fitness. means a tremendous i n -
crease in hypokinetic diseases ^ those
which. are caiised • by. physical iaacUvi-ty
— and Canadians are particularly
prone to this type, especially in the
• 30 to 40 age "group."
So what does Mr. Percival and his
Sports College conclude?
Priväte enterprise is the solution.
•• •• .. ^ •• •.•«. •— .»,••,•
Recently, together with sports, business
and physical. education figxires,
he announced the formation of the <
Canadian Amateur-Sports and Physical
Fitness Development .Service
backed: by a $700,000 fund from p r i väte
corporations and the GBC. and
to be operated by Sports College.
Here's what is planned to happen:
There . w i l l b e weekly national
broadcasts via CBC, a national week-ly
TV program, a monthly instruction
nev/spaper, several motion pictures,
booklets and bu!letins.
In addition, there wm be travelling
clinics, rcoaching • schools headed by
Sports College experts in physical
education; training, nutrition and so
on. Ali will be available to any group
wishing them and the take-off date
is March 1.
» * *
Says Percival With laudableenthu-siasm:"
We hope to make Canadians
the most sjjorts and fitness literate
people in the world."
Percival, who a few weeks ago
thought the armed services wouId be
the best place to develop Canadian
athletes, döesh't seiem to like the idea
of govemment-sponsored programs,
for he says: "Although programs such
as are operated i n Russia might have
an advantage. In that the people pf
the Sovlet Union can ber^imented
and subsidized, we are confident that
onr program willprovide Canadians
with as comprehensive and effective
a Service as can.be:foundanywhere
in the World.''
Which is just plain gobbledygoofc
However one may laud the äesire of
these folk. to do something about the
shamefui sports and recreation situa-t
i o n i n this country, a $700,000 pian
from private enterprise won't scratch
the surface.
How many sports fields and swim-ming
tanks wjll it build?
H3W many athlete.s w^Il it put into
serious training for the Olymplc
Games this year?
No. Mr.. Percival. You are"ön the
right track, but you are running in
the wrong; direction. It will make
Sports College a bigger name and i t
will certainly help Canadians to be-come
more fitness-minded. But it
wont buy gym tcunks or spike shoes
for athletes or pay anyone's fare to
Melbourne. f
But i f i t makes Canadians more
aware of how disgracefui the situation
really is, so that theyll put more heat
under the place that n e e d s i t u p in
Ottawa, It w i l l b e a l i tO" the good. ,
It ali those sportsminded people
that met in Toronto io launch this
new program with such fanfarewou1d
together drop a Sharp note t o M r . S t
Laiu-ent it would help provide: the
foundation that . i s needed for the
new Sports College program to ope-rate
effectively.
T h e National Federation of Labör
Youth has taken up the demand put
fonvard by several trade union and
other groups for a $10^ mlUiop. sports
and recreation pian for Canada to
begin this Olymplc year. Thafs the

Howio Recosnize Heart
Attaclc and Help Victim
How can you teli if someone you'r€f
workingwith is having a heart at-tack,
and what can you do about it?
This is the question answered by
the American Heart Association in
its recent leaflet, Heart Attack. The
leaflet notes that the usual symp-toms
of a heart attack include a
sudden gasping for air, 5weating and
intense pain. Sometlmes the victim
will lose consciousness.
vAll of these signs are-likely to
spell coronary thrombosis, particularly
i f the victim i s : a man above
the age of 35. Coronary thrombosis
occtirs wihen a blood elot partially
o* entirely shuts off the supply of
blood to the heart from the coronary
artieries.
•What can the bystander do to Oielp
the victina? First of ali, call a doctor.
Heart attacks have never been known
to re^ond to first aid, and the weUr
intentioned amateur can do much
more hann than good. However, this
döesn't. mean you need stand help-lessly

patient to get into the most com-fortable
position possible, which will

"There they go, askmg for wage increases again when I

Remember the body, and particularly
the circulatory system, is engaged ih
a life and death.struggle to adjust to
the sudden ch'anges caused by the
heart attack, and any addltional a d -
justments required by the need to
.respond to chilling won't help,,
Many people have been told that
the first thing to do when confron-ted
by a heart attack is to reach
for the whiskey bottle. Not: so. the
leaflet points ,out.. Do not give the
patient . anything to e a t o r drink.
There are conditions under which
alcöhol is helpful to the coronary
victim, but only: a doctor can de-

and; when it reaches the upper, rare^

space craft switches bn its llquid Jet

" There comes a polnt when the roc-/

miles per second. At this speed : it
traye's round the earth like a new

Its 'elliptical orbit in something like

Its cabin houses only insr

Instruments are constantly "tuned" to
thej^arth, ready to receive any order
It may send.
; I n time this order comes. When the
rocket is at the topmost point of the

tremendous spurt that brlngs the rocr

A similar rocket wlth a cargo of fuel

operation, the two rockets are brought
together and the fuel d uUy transfer-red.
The tanks refllled, the Jet engines
are switched on again and give
the Space shlp a fresh impetus, i n -
