THE WINNIPEG TRIBUNE Saturday, September 26, 1942 TS a strange thing to see flakes of snow falling while grass Is still I' green and trees have only just begun to turn, but that was the sight had here for a few minutes the other day. More substantial snow me to town the other day but it was Imported snow. It was brought on the back bumpers of a bus doing the route to Lake Winnipeg id thereabouts. find It hard to believe that winter Is on the way so early. nfter all, it's not October) and they feel It In their bones that good Indian Summer, the kind of weather Manitobans like to remember, ill yet come through.

Meanwhile, there's a definite bite in the air and lofficial weather prophets aren't making any long range forecasts. Well, Soldier, the most sensational news In an otherwise dull week Vreabouts is the Manitoba government's announcement today cutting "Is emler Bracken down the hours at the beer parlors, beer depots, clubs and Liquor Commission stores. Starting next Thursday, parlors and clubs in Greater Winnipeg, Brandon and Portage, will serve beer and ale from noon to 2 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 10 at night.

Elsewhere In the province the hours will be from 2 to 10 p.m. (Don't ask me why the difference between city and country, but the total hours they'll be open Is the same eight hours. Until now they have been open 13 hours a day.) As for the liquor stores, in the cities they'll be open from noon to 10 p.m. and in the towns and villages from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

In these changes Premier Bracken has beaten onvernment to the gun, because Ottawa has been talking cutting down the production of beer and liquor In Canada. Mr aclcen is apparently working from the consumption end. You 11 interested to know that "dry" sentiment has been growing In rength In Canada, according to the Gallup Poll of Canada. But this talk of 'restricted" hours in Manitoba probably bores you, 'elng that over there it's not merely a question of short hours but allv short supplies as well. Premier Bracken crops up again.

Immediately Arthur Meighen, it in the east, announced that the Conservatives would hold a con ntion (probably in Winnipeg) to pick a leader, Bracken's name was entioned as a candidate for that post. But the Manitoba premier 'id rlump and plain: "I have no personal wlsn to go 10 iu. ly party in ny capacity, nor am I Interested In becoming associated tirtrlR martisan group in Ottawa or anywnere ich a serious crisis as that through which we are now passing." Being head of a coaMion government of all parties In Manitoba, the emler is not associated right now with "any single partisan group.

Most of us are prepared to enjoy the World Series In a vicarious tshion again, meanwhile reflecting on the success of the local baseball At I told vou last week, the Northern league playoff between innipeg and Sioux Falls went the full limit of nine games, and now can complete the message by saying Maroons won. The local team Id It, 5 4, on a clutch double by Catcher Vince Plumbo in the ninth mlng. It was an exciting climax to an eventful series. A sandlot team of Juveniles contributed the finest record of the mateur baU season.

East Kildonan Rangers went through a schedule 25 games without defeat and also won their league's championship layoff without the loss of a game. In between times, they arranged xhlbitlon games with senior and Independent clubs, donating proceeds .1 war charity. Thjse were the same boys who were undefeated In lanltoba Juvenile hockey last winter and who helped to raise $1,100 it the Milk For Britain Fund. Championship honors in the Senior league went to C.U.A.C., which efeatcd Transcona in the final plajoff. That wound up the baseball amenities for the year, leaving the eld clear for football, bowling and the rest of the off season sports.

Preliminary Ideas taken from the new City Football league are hat Bombers and Royal Canadian Air Force will make the with Iniversity of Manitoba not quite strong enough to keep up, and that Threlfall's formation will continue to speed up the tempo of the ame.

Bombers finally got their first victory by whipping 'arsity, 20 1.

The Students lacked practice. Bowling alleys never have been as busy as they are now, but here's a bottleneck even in this Industry. In this case, it's a shortage pin hoys. The recreation trade is listed as a non essential industry, lth the result that older pin setters are subject to priority call by rmy or ar Industry. The younger hands are both slow and Indc They demanded and received a higher scale of pay.

They on't like to set ten pins, even though the larger maples pay more han five p'ns. One establishment achieved partial solution of the problem by introducing pin girls. The way I heard it, they're as fast anu efficient is the bo.is handling five pins, not as capable at ten pins. And, snother problem in the recreation business there's a short of pod "markers." Pretty soon we'll be racking our own colors no real hardship but a sign of the labor s.tualion.
