Here (above) a mother and daughter duo are getting a swell "kick" as the daughter takes her first skiing lesson with Mom demonstrating the "snowplow technique." That's to show the novice skier how to stop and skiing instructors at the winter resort say it is a "must" to be taught even before the skier learns how to start. f v Jl ' - - !J i j f ' j ; '"iff c: ' .

Thousands of Ameri-cans find that out each year as they visit this mec-c- a for winter outdoor fans. At left, this youngster, barely able to toddle, soon will be whizzing along on skis at this Ontario ski club. The instructor is specia-lly- trained by the Can-adian traveling ski school. t KJ ; x A - ' ; , , illliBllilllBBI A venerable game, having some similarity to bowling, curling is a very popular sport in On-tario's winter program. It is a Scottish game and its real devotees are almost fanatic in their interest in it. In the photo above, a game of curling gets underway as two couples pair up for sides. Although borrowed from the Scots, the game has grown vastly in popularity in both Can-ada and the United States, especially at winter resorts after a day of skiing. Sleighing also is one of the top winter sports in Canada's winter resort sections. This group hopped aboard the sled the minute they got off the train at Dagmar, Ontario. The gang is all ready for an enthusiastic week-en- d of winter sports as they jingle along in their horse-draw- n sleigh.

TRUMAN: Up & At 'Em! Apparently eager to accept every rebuff as a challenge, President Truman let it be known that he would "fight aU summer, if nec-essary, to obtain congressional ap-proval of his civic rights program. THE PRESIDENT made it very plain that he desires every mem-ber of congress to be put on rec-ord regarding the program. U highly controversial issue lor which the President is still battling caused a split in the Democratic party ranks during the campaign-a- nd promises to do so again. The President was particularly incensed with the coalition of south-ern Democrats and northern which stands ready to to the last oppose the program ditch. The measure over which there has been such bitter recrimina-tions would establish a federal commission to combat discrimina-tion in the hiring of Negroes and other minority groups. THE SOUTH, usually rock-ribbe- d in its stand for the Demo-crats, doesn't want the measure, and its representatives are pre-pared to resist it in every way possible, the usual recourse being parliamentary procedure and the rules of the senate.

It is a sister ship to the "Flying Arrow" which was heavily shelled by Chinese gunboats. The move was being made despite TJ. S. state department warnings to U. S. ships to stay out of the blocakade area. Inset is Captain Nicholas Dervin, skipper of the "Flying Cloud." with the effort by opponents of the program to do away with a house rule which would let the house take away from committee a bill bottled up for as many as 21 days. Until last year the house rules com-mittee could stifle legislation to a great degree by holding up such bills as it chose. Now, Truman's opponents want that power re-stored. Mr. Truman was hoping the maneuver would be defeated. MINERS: Cash, Please! In most of the long, involved struggle of the coal miners and their leader, John L. Lewis, vs. the coal operators, the workers were able to continue credit at company stores and thus manage to exist through long strike periods. In the current phase of the controversy, that was the case until a few weeks ago when rebel miners, bucking Lewis' three-da- y work week order, went on strike. Shutdowns occurred in six states as roving bands of pickets flouted Lewis' leadership. THE UNITED MINE WORKER rebels declared they were tired of working a three-da- y week and wanted a "showdown" in their dis-pute with the operators. They were falling back on the old miner slo-gan: "No contract no work." But this time they encountered a move which would have grave effect on their position. Mine own-ers replied with a policy of their own: "No work no credit." Sev-eral large companies, including U. S. Steel and most southern op-erators, told the miners they would get no more credit at company stores while they stayed away from work. ONE INDUSTRY LEADER esti-mated that miners had received 60 million dollars in credit since the and the three-da- y week went into effect. Others said it was just bad business to keep extending credit under such conditions. Thus there appeared to be build-ing up a situation rife with danger-ous possibilities. If the strike con-tinued and miners and their fami-lies faced actual hunger and want, there could be trouble Winnie's Look-alike- ? GREAT BRITAIN: Attlee Stands Pat On the surface, at least, there were no qualms over possible re-sults and certainly no promises of reform as the Labor party in Eng-land loudly proclaimed that it would stand for .more and "better" socialism if it were returned to power in the February elections. OBVIOUSLY, the overthrow of the Socialists in Australia and, earlier, in New Zealand, didn't mean a thing to Prime Minister Clement Attlee and his administra-tion. The party in power in Great Brit-ain laid down its platform in a 6,000-wor- d manifesto. The plat-form included: "Wise development" of the ad-ministration of government medi-cal services and other welfare services (one of the most d of socialist innovations). MUTUALIZATION of insurance that is, ownership by policy-holder- Jobs for all. Increase in production, lowering costs and increasing imports. More and cheaper food. A home for every family. No shelter for private enter-prise "behind price rings and rigged markets." EFFORTS FOR PEACE in a "realistic" manner, and willing-ness to cooperate with Russia, as "with any other country that is prepared to work for peace and friendship." Strengthening of the association of the commonwealths and the At-lantic pact. An ambitious program surely and one which must command some measure of respect if only for its declining to retreat in the face of what might seem to be a dangerous situation. WAR POTENTIAL: U. S. Gains Cited While the national committee for aeronautics reported that "it is logical to assume" Russia is GIVEAWAY DUE Potatoes The government announced it was going to "give away" some of the enormous stocks of potatoes which it bought to keep prices up but, as usual, there was a catch to it. Not everyone could get the potatoes, and it was not as "free" as it appeared. THE POTATOES, it appeared, would go only to the school lunch program, the bureau of Indian af-fairs, public and private welfare agencies in this country and pri-vate agencies doing relief abroad. However, that was a move which should elicit no criticism, inas-much as it savored more of intel-ligent government in action than most bureaucratic actions. Here's the catch: FOR the school lunch, and some private institutions, the "give-away" program means they will have to start paying something to get potatoes they once got without having to pay out a nickel. The reason for that, it was explained, is that for many years the govern-ment had a surplus-cro- p disposal program, for which congress ap-propriated funds. This meant com-modities could be delivered to schools free. Now, all that's changed, there is no fund, so school lunches will have to pay transpor-tation for its "free' commodities. VETS' BONUS: Added Support The battle lines for the fight to obtain a bonus for veterans of World War n has been strength-ened by support from the Amvets, a World War II organization. Meanwhile, the Veterans of For-eign Wars renewed its g bonus appeal. THUS, two major veterans' or-ganizations standing shoulder to shoulder on the proposition that the nation should reward their war services with a bonus. - O--7 p working hard to develop super-spee- d warplanes to deliver atomic weapons, it also reported continu-ing American gains in the "race for air leadership." The committee called for efforts to "consolidate these gains and push forward." THE AGENCY reporting is the government's chief organization for basic aviation research and, consequently, should know what it is talking about. The committee dropped one note, however, by pointing out that any nation that wants to make the effort can build "practical military airplanes" able to fly faster than sound. "Superior-speed,- " the report continued, "is generally acknowl-edged to be the most important single element in successful air attack and in defense against at-tack. Range also is important. The attainment of long range poses a most difficult problem." AND THEN the report's punch line: "As in the case of the atomic bomb, America cannot expect to enjoy an exclusive advantage at best it can only plan "by vigorous and timely research to stay ahead of any potential enemy . . ." Harold Russel, Amvets national commander, told the house veter-ans' affairs committee that "by every standard of equity the bonus is justifiable." ' Certainly the GI's of Conflict Two had a precedence in the case of the Doughboys of World War I. And, remembering history, they would not be too disappointed at early delays, inasmuch as it took quite a time for the World War I veterans to obtain passage of a bonus bill. THE AMVETS and the VFW were agreed that the rate of com-pensation for veterans should be $3 a day for service in this coun-try, and $4 a day for service over-seas. This would mean that a max-imum bonus would be $4,500, with an extra bonus for men who were wounded in action. The question of a bonus for men who have defended their country in time of war is one of the most difficult with which a people may wrestle. There is the vast gratitude and appreciation of service on the one hand, and on the other a n of patriotism and duty, solidified most often by lack of necessary funds with which to re-ward the warriors. Rep. Dewey Short (R., Mo.) gives a good impression of Britain's Winston Churchill as he rehearses for his part in an amateur radio show being staged in Constitution Hall to-day February 2. The show is for the benefit of the American Heart association and will kick-of- f the organization's 1950 fund campaign. GI BENEFITS: More Refunds? America's GI's might be in another for refund on service life in- surance. According to an announcement by the veterans' administration it will take another look at the 're-serve fund next year and. if a sur plus exists, the may get another refund. THE ANNOUNCEMENT came as the VA was mailing out check . to millions of veterans.

Economy at your druu i; then just o !,, SIMMERING DOWN Little Chance Seen for Major Tax Hike When a top Democrat in Presi-dent Truman's administration calls for a cut in fed-eral taxes, indications are that Mr. Truman's original plan for a tax hike has been abandoned. When the President first pro-posed an increase in taxes, he was in a fighting mood. He had just been elected in his own right as President despite general opinion that he would be defeated, and his tax demands may have been in the manner of a challenge to congress. Since then Mr. Truman appears to have mellowed in his tax ideas. The proposal was made by senate finance committee Chair-man George, a Georgia Democrat, who, at the same time, also called for government economy to erase half the. "mticipated deficit. |
