Which brings up the question of what any of us would do if we suddenly inherited two million dollars. Certainly, there would be few of us who, if we did not know what we were going to do with it, would admit a problem. Some of us might think first of our own material pleasures, would incline to relax into the satisfaction of our own desires, whatever they might be. Some of us might think at first of continued leisure, of acquiring material things which we have dreamed about, of travel, of the pursuit of our individual hanijines. Put probably human nature Tor the large majority of people would be to derive the greatest fatiV'faction from sudden wealth by exercising the ability of giving pleasure and help to others.

Maybe we should have been less lyrical, less generous with our headlines when she won the European skating championship and then the Olympic. Then we would have had a little left over for praise of the world's championship conquest instead of the whole thing being now a little anti-climatic. Perhaps it is a little silly anyway to editorialize about it as we are quite sure that everyone feels just as delighted as we do over Barbara Ann's successive triumphs and can express it just as well. It would have been a stunning thing if Barbara Ann had lost any of these title quests. But she Crime through as expected and with exemplary attitude. Always she kept her poise, naturalness rrr) 'ood humor. She has, no doubt, won the hearts of the people of the world as she has already cap-t-irpd tbo?e of Canadians.

This time as a nation. Even the word "tragedy" is Greek. It literally means "goat song." And many a Greek, today, feels that the land of Hellas is singing a goat's song to the tune of power polities. What is this land of that goat's song? Greece is a country of 50,147 square miles. Her population is less than London's. Much of Greece is rugged mountains and rocky lands. Her climate ranees from the blistering sirocco of mid-summer to icy mountain winds and deep snow in winter. Yet for all that forbidding picture, Greece is an agricultural country and farming is as tough and thankless there as any place in the world. Only twenty percent of the land in Greece can be farmed, vet sixtv percent of the workers are farmers and two thirds of the national income is torn from these tiny mountain plots. Three quarters of all Greek farms are 71 acres or less in size. Even in peace and plenty, life for most Greeks can onlv be an endless stiw'le. but now, in a torn and starving world, they play the tragedy and sing the goat song more than ever before. 4 NEWS REELS PRICELESS 1 broadest use without damage, the council plans to open a Install a Marine Muffler On Your Buat Engine and Avoid Harmful back I'ltrssrui; We make mufflers to suit your engine. school for projectionists.
