A.Wendling of Standard Tube, Wood- stock, and former athletic coach,addressed the Y’s Men's Club at theSt. Charles Coffee Shop. Mr. Wendling chose as his sub­ ject,' ‘Mental Developments inSports.” He pointed out the differ­ ence in playing at the game andreally playing the game, and fromthe spectators* view, watching the game and really ‘ understanding thescience of the plays, both mentally and physically. As a spectator, to get the most enjoyment out of the game, onemust arrive before starting time and watch the athletes warming up,getting their second wind, practic­ ing certain plays and doing socalledgrandstand stunts. The speaker gave the psychological reasons forthese certain performances and the effects they have on the minds ofthe opponents and the final part they play in winning the game whenit comes to teams being equally matched otherwise. Thus knowingwhat to look for in these plays and seeing what results they have later,doubles the interest in the game. The speaker pointed out thesecertain features to watch and enjoy in track events, running, hurdling,high and broad jump, and putting the shot; in baseball, to try and de­tect the signal system and the weak and strong pointe of the plnyers; inhockey, lacrosse and rugby, to viewthe different plays and study thekeen minded players and learn the part they are playing both individ­ually and as a team. Mr. Wendling then discussed how the athlete must train himself bothmentally and physically for the var­ ious types of sport. The coach must explain and give the reasons fordoing certain features in a given manner. The athlete then sees thelogic behind certain training rules^and develops and co-ordinates both mind and muscle. Herein lies one of thg greatest values of sport.The mihd can be developed through sport and even sometimes by itsparticipation alone men have so .equipped themselves mentally that they have been a success later inwhatever line of business they chose. Throughout his speech, the speaker referred to famous coachesand stars, showing how they train­ ed themselves nnd mqde a scienceof the game. Studying themselves to detect their weak points andstriving to improve them. Countless .hours are spent in practice, practice,practice. The greatest thrill is to see this developmenL both for thecoach and the athlete himself. Mr. Wendling closed with thismotto, “Play the game, play the game fair, play the game hard.” Max Poole, a former football star,and pupil of Mr. Wendling, introdu­ ced the speaker, and Gordon Pittockvoiced the appreciation of all forsuch an unusual, and valued inter­ pretation of the part sport plays in • spur Jife. The president, Bert Carr,also' conveyed his thanks to the speaker and in turn thanked himfor the praise which he had given to the club foj the part that it istaking in the sports activities of thistown.

This will be the second clinic heldin Ingersoll and it is understood that one will he held every five weeks.The quota of 65 donors for the first clinic has been raised to 100for the forthcoming clinic. An or­ ganization has been set up for se­curing these donors through repre­sentatives in local factories, clubs and rural Red Cross units. Anyonedesiring to register ns a blood donor may do so by getting in touch withany of the following: Ingersoll Machine Company, James Spaven;Morrow Company, Frank Cragg or Robert Richter; Cream CheeseCompany, Gordon Henry; Cole Fur­niture Company, J.

The following information con­cerning the working of a blood don­ or clinic is of interest to everyoneanxious to give concrete assistance to those suffering the hardships ofbattle. Any man between the agesof 18 and 55 and in normal health is eligible. Registrations are beingaccepted from women although theyW*H. no' called on for the nextclinic. After enlisting, those personsneeded for the current clinic are advised by postcard at least threedays before the day of the clinic and an appointment time given. Theactual taking of the blood is pain­ less and the quantity taken being sosmall, there is practically no possi­bility of ill-effect. The procedure takes only about 15 minutes and the absence of a donor from his workneed not exceed an hour. To pre­ vent the blood taken from the donorbeing fatty, it is required that the breakfast immediately preceding theclinic be fat-less— that is lacking in milk, butter, eggs. A nourishingbreakfast is served each donor atthe clinic and this work has been undertaken by the local chapters of the I.O.D.E. The number of timesa person may be called upon to don­ate will depend on the number of donors who enroll and also the dur-'nti°n Ot Lthe wnr’ but in anY caBC il will not be more than once jn even-10 weeks. The blood thus acquired is ship­ ped to Connaught Laboratories inloronto, where it is converted into a pooled nnd dried powder form.«hen placed in sealed containers,this dried serum may be kept in­ definitely and given as a transfusionto a person of any blood type by simply dissolving in distilled water.The great need is emphasized by the fact that the blood of five donors isneeded for the nverage treatment, of one wounded person. Greet xjuanti-ties of the serum are needed to treat Britain’s civilian casualities as well as the present and future needs ofthe armed forces. Y’.?. ^cn ’s Club has assumed responsibility for securing the quotaof blood donors for each clinic. Fur­ther information may be obtained from any Y’sman or the club presi-dcnL Bert Carr.

But here is a story from .the pages of the diary of a wardenin Prince Albert National Park/ Saskatchewan, describing an exetriO iing few minutes during which heand his dog team were mixed up with a pack of timber wolves. Lethim tell it in his own fashion: ' "During the latter part of lastNovember I was making one of myusual patrols. I started soon afterdaylight, which comes rather lateup here at this time of the year— around 8 aan. My route was northof the 3rd Meridian for about two miles to Namekus Lake, thenstraight across Namekus a littlenorthwest and on up to the parkhighway. I was driving five power­ful dogs, and had a six-month-oldpup running loose. These dogs were part husky and part German police.I raised them myself—all exceptone. They were in good'condition and rearing to go. I was using theAlaska-style hitch — two dogsabreast, then two and two, and the leader ahead. I had a very lightAlaska sleigh, without a break on it. “When we turned out on toNamekus Lake I saw two animals, which looked like coyotes, on thesand beach about half a mile northof me. I turned up that way andpretty soon more started comingout until there were seven of them,all gray ones. They turned out to be timber wolves. It is unusual tosee all gray ones; they generally run about half black. I have alwaysheard that .wolves never showedany affection. That wasn’t so inthis case. When the others came outonto the lake and met the pair al­ready there they muzzled each other and wagged their tails. "During this time my dogs weretaking me up that way pretty fast,and they saw the wolves just aboutthe time the wolves saw them. May­be we didn’t go! And the wolves came as just as fast toward us. Theyspread out just before we< met, twoor three on each side, with the very large one directly in front. Thepup that was running loose ran rightup to this big one. I believe their noses touched. I don’t suppose myleader was over 30 yards away fromthem at this time. Then this big wolf made a half circle and joinedthe cnes that had passed on my left.My dogs were following him all the time. When we got pretty closeagain the bunch parted and we went right through them. The dogs seemedto single one out that didn’t appearafraid, but just kept 50 or 60 yardsahead of them.‘■We really passed right throughthe bunch three times. There were wolves in front of us, on both sidesand sometimes one or two runningright behind—just like dogs would do. When we were getting close tothem at first, I pulled my gun out of its case, racked a shell into thebreach, and was ready to fire a shotor two to frighten them away. But when we got to the wolves, every­thing happened so fast—-the dogs were in a frenzy trying to get atthem; we were up and down over snowbanks, swinging around goingback the other way so quickly—that I had no chance to get a shot away.“Once, I got the dogs stopped for 0 moment with wolves on every?side. I jumped off and started torun towards the leader of my team.If I could get up and stand acrossher lead line the rest would standstill. But I just got up to the rightwheel dog when one of the wolves started to trot away, and the dog*started off again on the jump. 1 grabbed the trace of the wheelerand fell into the sleigh getting some snow into the muzzle of the gun asI did so, and it took me some time to clear this out. While sitting onthe sleigh I dug my heels into the snow and tried to stop the dogsafter I got the snow out of the gun.But I couldn’t stop them. The snow was too hard and we just skiddedalong. "I have given the matter quite alittle thought since, and maybe I should have jumped off the sleighwhen the wolves were all around, and started shooting to frightenthem off. At the time the idea never occurred to me.' I just figured onstaying with my team. I am sure I wasn’t at any time afraid for my­ self. The wolves never appeared asif they wanted to attack either me or the dogs. In fact they didn’t look nearly as dangerous to me asa team of loose sleigh dogs would have been. They looked as thoughthey just had a big feed and were meeting another band of wolves for the purpose of getting acquainted.All at once they decided to get away from there, and made for thetimber." Winter in Canada’s nationalparks brings to most park wardens long snow-shoe or ski patrols. Someof them, like this warden, travel by sled and dog team. Sleeping bagsand several days’ grub must be packed for the long journey oversnow-covered trails. These patrols take wardens deep into the silentforest and along ice-covered lakesand rivers where the only 'signs of life are wild creatures .for which many of the parks uro noted. Oneof the warden’s chief concerns inwinter is the protection and welfare of the denizens of the forest; forall. Canada’s national parks are primarily wildlife sanctuaries wherewild animals and birds may live andmultiply unmolested. The life of a park warden may lack many of theamenities of city and town, but, be­ cause his chief interest lies in na­ture and the great out-of-doors, heusually regards the artificial attrac­ tions of city life'as a very small GROCETERIAS CO., LIMITED JfcW7 PURCHA SES DU RINGtie LAST W IE K ^FE B RU A R Y /' BJHHQ YOU THE FAMOUS.

The small boy has this ac­ quisitive sense in no small degree.His pockets are always bulging withodds and ends, and bits and pieces, that are the amazement of themother who has occasion to turnthorn out. The jackdaw too has the habit, but he prefers only thosethings that sparkle or shine, andwhat possible use they are to him is as puzzling a problem as is that ofthe boy and his assortment of treasurers or the grown-up and hiscollection.We gather and hate to disperse, so that the present emergency thatmakes the salvaging of unused ma­ terial a necessary and patriotic dutyis doing a service in more waysthan one. It is emptying cellars and attics of much that is useful forwar time needs, but which previous­ ly was merely a dust and moth gath­ering agency. It is bringing tolight that which, having served its purpose in the home in other days,is now going to serve the nation asa whole and our allies to boot. Thedisuse of other years is so becom­ing the use of this. Much that for sentimental reasons one hated topart with is now, for more urgent reason’s being dusted off and cartedaway, and the little sigh of regret that goes with it, is more than off­set by the quiet satisfaction one feels at being patriotic and at thesame time finding a quiet adequateexcuse to be rid of what one knew was really excess baggage. We all do it, this constant addingand adding to what we alreadyhave. In peace years we are urged buy and still buy. High pressuresalesmen stress our need for this and that, and we buy, often againstour better judgment, simply be­ cause he paints a glowing pictureand knows how to wear down our sales resistance. We acquire thingswe seldom or never use and having paid good money for them, we feelguilty if we discard them. But dis­ carding is now made easy and verylittle of our excess accumulation cannot be put to use ‘in these daysof ever-growing scarcity. Truly it’s an ill wind that blows no one good.
