Most of the home-builde- have had little or no experi-ence, but they pitch right in and with the aid of specially prepared plans and loans manage to do the job in adequate fash-ion. This Ontario family (photo at left) has joined the scores of Canadian veterans who are in the build -- .your - own - house program. They are plan-ning on a house with a room for baby Nancy. wQ The veterans often obtain better quality ma-terial for less money through careful shopping. The Veterans Loan asso-ciation in Canada fi-nances the program.

The vet-erans are given encour-agement in the form of a loan and they need to give proof only of their business ability, their will to work and spare time.

GALLANT FOX ? 17 Jm saiaooA Eluegill Battlers Ever bait up a number six or eight hook, adjust the bobber, flip in your line and have the hog-wil- d bluegill tear the cane pole right out of your hands? No, you probably haven't. But, it this little panfish could compare in size with some of its larger brothers, much of your fishing would be a degenerate sport by comparison. Few other fish can make a line zing like a freshly-deceive- d bluegill. Like grandfather's clock, this little fellow is almost always ready to strike! Let's look at a few of the things that regulate his ticking, says Gilbert Weiss, of the Missouri conservation depart-ment. Probably the best known mem-ber of the sunfish family, the blue-gill enjoys a wide range of latitude and longitude. Originally a native of the Mississippi, Great Lakes, and eastern seaboard drainage basin, the bluegill may now be caught from New York to Cali-fornia and from mid-Cana- to Mexico. Although the ideal pond fish is yet to be found, fish cultur-ist-s would probably agree that the bluegill is our most adaptable, most successful pond-fis- Hence, the introduction of this species over most of the United States and much of Canada. Doubtless more people are fa-miliar with the bluegill than any other one species;' however, there remains, and probably always will, some confusion with other cousins of the sunfish clan. Common names are themselves confusing, for by locality the bluegill becomes pond-perc-punkinseed, bream, brim and a host of other misnomers. Like most other sunfish, the blue-gill is much flattened vertically. He is considerably rounded on his topside, whereas the belly follows somewhat straighter contour. Col-oration, like most other fish, de-pends a great deal on the water it inhabits. The back is almost al-ways a dark olive-gree- Most of the upper two-thir- of the body and the head, excepting the lower gill covers and ear flaps, shares shades of olive-gree- with a sprinkling of violet, purple, and lavender thrown in. The under-part- s are usually painted a rich yellow or yellowish-brow- The throat area is often a strikingly deep orange, bordered above by pale blue gill covers. As might be expected, the ear, or gill flap, is a deep blue-blac- In many states, bluegills spawn from May to September. They are colonial spawners, and numbers of males may be seen guarding their respective nests in a spawning area. The nest, a small circular de-pression on a gravel bottom or a clean-swe- area on clay or muck, is constructed by the male some time previous to spawning time. To the male also falls the chore of fanning the eggs to keep them aerated, free from silt, and to prevent an ever-hungr- y horde of scavengers from partaking of a free lunch. Actual counts of the eggs taken from female bluegills range from 3.000 to as many as 50,000, de-pending on the age, size, and phys-ical condition of the fish. Counts of fry taken from nests range upward to 60,000. Since the young ordinarily be-come spawners themselves during their first year of life, the poten-tial number of offspring from a few fish becomes enormous over the span of a few years. Therein lies the reasoning behind the pres-ent pond stocking recommendations. Bluegills are primarily insect feeders; whereas, bass are predators, feeding largely upon young and immature blue-gills. Nonetheless, there is danger in such large-scal- e reproduction. If balanced predator-pre- y relation-ships are disturbed by misman-agement, overpopulation may readily occur in small bodies of water. As previously mentioned, the bluegill feeds largely on insects and their larva but an occasional minnow or small fish may be taken. AAA Don't "Morse" 'Em The practice of "horsing" in a fish understandable under the stress and excitement of landing a big one is probably the cause of more lost fish than any other one thing. The angler can avoid it by keeping a fairly tight line, but easing up a bit when it appears the fish wants to fight hard. Play the fish until it is through fighting and can be brought up close with-out dashing around in fright when it sees you.

I These Were the Great Portsiders I Bv GRANTLAND RICE EVEN HOMER nodded. So did Kipling, Keats and a few others. They were en-titled to nod. Most of us are not. We haven't earned any such breaks. So I apolo-gize to the veteran fan from New Jer-sey who says that in picking Young, Johnson, Alexan-der and Mathew-so- n as baseball's four greatest pitch-ers, I mentioned no great right - handers we picked some time ago. The Four Top Southpaws Here are the four top we have selected along with an alternate who is hard to leave out. We have seen them all under ev-ery form of competition. We admit in advance that we can be wrong. But wrong or right, here they go No. 1 Carl H u b b e 1 1, New York Giants. No. 2 Herb Fennock, Athlet-ics, Red Sox, Yankees. No. 3 Robert Moses (Lefty) Grove, Athletics. No. 4 George Edward (Rube) Waddell, Athletics. No. 5 Eddie Plank, Athletics. We have never yet been able to figure why Connie Mack had the type of mind to go for hurlers. Yet it was Connie Mack who produced the best of them and the most of them. Connie Mack, or Mr. McGillicud-dy- , should have an evenly bal-anced mind. Among his right-handers he had Chief Bender and Jack Coombs. But among his left-handers he had Eddie Plank, Rube Waddell, Lefty Grove, Herb Pen-noc-most of the great ones. Mr. Mack must have been a left-han- d dreamer. His phantasies must have roamed in the mystic heav-ens of the southpaws. Connie will tell you that Chief Bender was his most depend-able- hurler. But he will also tell you Rube Waddell was his most brilliant pitch-er and that Lefty Grove was the all - time sharpshooter. (Look at Grove's record.) He will inform yon that Eddie Plank was the old reliable he won 283 games for the Ath-letics. The only great Con-nie Mack never handled was Carl Hubbell, the old meal ticket the pitcher many old ballplayers will tell you was the greatest pitcher ' that ever threw..a .ball. The Improved Tigers It is quite possible that Red Rolfe's Detroit Tigers are not go-ing to win the 1950 American league pennant. But it is no part of a certainty that they won't. At least the entry won't be very far away. The Tigers rate with the Indians and the Indians are not too far be-low the Red Sox and Yankees. The fact is the American League has five improved teams that look to be stronger than last year. Grantland Rice "Were there no great he asks. "Were there no rs to match the great right-hander- There must have been. Who were they?" In order to appease the gentle-man from New Jersey and all athletes and friends, we'll wade into the game's greatest today and see how they match the game's four great-est right-hander- We are not going as far back as Toad Ramsay and southpaws of a forgotten era. This century is late enough. Who have been the greatest left handers since 1900? Here are just a few: Carl Hubbell, New York Giants; Lefty Grove, Philadelphia Athletics; Rube Waddell, Philadelphia Athlet-ics; Herb Pennock, Athletics, Red Sox and Yankees; Eddie Plank, Philadelphia Athletics; Doc White, Chicago White Sox; Art Nehf, New York Giants; Nap Rucker, Brooklyn Dodg-ers; Howie PoIIet, St. Louis Cardinals; Hal Newhouser, De-troit Tigers (one of the best) ; Rube Marquard, Babe Ruth, Lefty Gomez. Now there happens to be a pretty fair list of left - handers in this limited group. There are fine left-handers not included. But we be-lieve this list covers most of the good ones and the great ones. You may notice such names as Ruth, Marquard and Gomez. Ruth has the finest d pitching record. He could easily have been the greatest pitcher of all time. Marquard set or tied an all - time winning record. Lefty Gomez was the most devastating of his day. He was one of the greatest world series pitch-ers. All of this goes to show you what a magnificent list we have all set from which to pick the four best men who might match the four HOW TX'IT s 1,3,0111 A,Bett x SHOE LACE TRICK XV'' PREVENT SMALL L "!Sf 1 CHILDREN FROM IV vii COMPLETELY REMOVING KT7K.'--n- ' U SHOE LACES BY I rfM y X TYING KNOTS IN V !l X 7 THEM BETWEEN X, THE SECOND AND X THIRD HOLES. -- 3i PIPE FILTER X TWISTED TISSUE PAPER ' J WILL ABSORB TOBACCO MMmW TAR AND NICOTINE IN W&W STEM OF PIPE MADE Sk7 TI5SUE TOTAKE A FILTER.
