This is their bag, But so often, theories are bloWn apart when champion- shops are on the line: i.e. Super Bowl, World Series, English Cup, etc. The one element the book- makers and , statisticians can't evaluate is that intangible qual- ity known' as pride, often re- • ferred to as an indefatigable de- sire. So often with a champion- ship beckoning, it is the un- hearded athlete who rises to star status. And, ever since Abner Dou- bleday's "game" became Amer- ica's favorite summer , been undefinable. It has been amazing how the .217 hitter clouts five home runs and hits .394 to lead his team to a World Series upset; or a third-string end comes into the game'in the second half and catches two touchdown passes to clinch an impossible triumph; or a substitute leaves the bench in overtime to score the winning goal and spark his mates to a title. These intangible 'elements make sport. However, barring injuries, this year's edition of the Stanley Cup playoffs will run true to form. The reason is that there are but two teams which have EVERY- THING. Unfortunately they will meet in the last round of their div- ision playoff, and this confront- ation, in this scribe's eyes, will be the Stanley Cup Champion- ship. When Montreal Canadian's and Boston Bruins meet to decide the Eastern Division's represent- ative in the finals 'against the winner from the West, hockey fans throughout North America should (no, let's go one step fur- ther — will) see some of the most exciting hockey to ever be played in the playdown5; Each 'club has fine goaltend- ing with Montreal having a slight edge due to. Lorne "Gump" Worsley with Rogatien Vachon (Canadians) and Eddie Johnston (Bruins) about even in ability. With the incomparable Bobby Orr headlining the Boston de- fence corps the Bruins have a decided margin, offensively and defensively. Orr does it all. Also, Teddy Green, Don Awrey, rookie Rick Smith and Dallas Smith give Boston a rugged crew back of the blueline, and this gang of hitters could eventually prove to be the difference in a short Series., Montreal has the classy J. C. Tremblay, Jacnuis Laperriere • and Ted Harris. Serge Savard is still learning. This brigade just does not match the overall. ability of the Boston rearguards. Looking at the forwards you could almost. flip a • coin as to which team 'has the advantage. Montreal has Jean Belivtau, Yvan Cournoyer, Jacques Lem- aire, Bobby Rousseau, and when he's right, Henri Richard. Mon- treal's biggest asset among their forwards is their Speed. John Ferguson, their only tough for- Ward; has •concentrated on scor-' ing, but he doesn't go well in the playoffs: Boston is led by PhdEsposito who has personally just about re-written the NIEL's record book for individual achievement. His wingers, Ken• Hodge and Ron Murphy, give Boston the most awesome attacking trio on either club. Fred Stanfield, Johnny Mc- Kenzie and Derek' Sanderson are all competent goal-scorers and strong checkers. — But,- again, it is important to note that the forwards on both teams are about par if each player performs at his full po- tential. A So you're going td have to go with the oddsmakers this year, that is unless you're a believer in that intangible element cal-, led• . . . whoops, that's where we came in . Dublin. W.I.

It's hard, to find a farmer who is not optimistic abotir the outlook for this year's crop. In fact,- farmers are so confident 1969 will be a good year, many are investing several thousands of dollars in seed, fertilizer, chemicals and equipthent. Experience proves farmers hive a right to be optim- istic. On the average, over a 20 year. period, farmers can ex- pect to harveit a bumper crop three or four times and a fair to average crop on most other years. Only about once or twice during a 20 year period is there a crop-failure due to natural hazards. The question arises, can the modern farmer, with his high investment costs, afford to lose his crop even once in 10 or 20 years? Some can, while -others can't. This is a ques- tion each farmer must answer for himself. In HURON County this year, more farmers, agribusi- nessmen and lending institutions are expressing interest in Crop Insurance as the answer to the' danger of losing a crop due to bad weather, insects or plant disease. In this area, the Crop Insurance Commissibn of Ontario has expanded both its' services and the number of insurable crops in order to take care of the need for crop protection. The Hon. Wm. A. Stewart, Minister of Agriculture and Food, who is an enthusiastic promoter of Crop Insurance, urges farmers to lock at Crop Insurance from 'a business point of view. A good farmer should know 'what it will cost him to grow a crop. He should then purchase enough insurance to cover "this investment, This amount of coverage is quite in- expensive and gives peace of mind in knowing that the in- vestment is protected if the crop should be lost because of natural hazgrds. • The farmer who has• definite financial commitments to meet at the end of the year is the man who can least afford to gamble on had weather ruining his crops. While Crop In- surance is available in many countries of the world, the pro- gram in Ontario is one of the most'attractive anyWhere. This is because the Federal Government pays 50% of administra- tive costs and 25% of the premiums, while the Provincial Government pays, the 50% of the adininistrative costs plus 5% of the premiums. 1. Consequently, the insured person pays only 70% of the Claims costs, and none of the expenses of operation. In effect, the Government bera more than half of the total coat of the insurance program.

Mc Over the past week or so, .the business of Canada's govern- ment has been carried On under the shadow of two Major ec- onomic trends that affect every Canadian closely and color every debate in the House of • Commons. These two trends are, contin- uing inflation and -the steady increase in government spend- ing and hence, the steady in- crease in taxation. The first inflation - is most 'clearly revealed by rising in- terest rates. A week ago Friday the Bank of Canada raised its' rate _from 61/2 % to 7 percent. This is the rate at which the central bank lends money to Canada's chartered banks and is the prime indicator of our national money market. The sharp increase in this basic rate of interest indicates that inflation is still very much a factor in the Canadian econ- omy and could continue to grow unless measures are taken to discourage borrowing. • Such an increase in the„Bank of Canada rate is usually follow- ed by matching increase in the rate at which the chartered banks lend money to 'their, bust: omers. So, you can expect an in- crease in the cost of any money you borrow from your bank,' very shortly, As to rising money expend- iture, early last week the gov- ernment tabled' supplementary estimates for the fiscal year 1968-69 amounting to close to $152 million dollars:This is in addition to more than $10% bil- lion. already asked far to run the country up ,to April 30th. In bringing. in .the additional bill for the Canadian' taxpayer, the President of Treasury Board said $105 million of the new. amount was to meet -"conting- encies" - by udtich he said he meant wage and salary increase it was expected would be re- quired. The original cost of govern- ment for the year plus the ad- ditional amounts now required go far towards explaining the necessity for the recent increase in taxes• sought by the. Minist- er of Finance. Parliament has already' ap- proved the new programme of taxation of estates which will leave estates under $50,000., not taxable, but estates over $50,000. will be calculated from the, $20,000. figure. Before it, still is the proposal for a 2%. "Social Development" tax to be levied on income. This measure will shortly come before us for con- sideration and, according to for- ecasts in Ottawa, May or June may see additional tax proposals brought forward to meet' Rife". ling costs. Rising interest rates close!. ly affect another subject now ' before the House - housing. You will recall the report on hotis- Kiniey, MP big brought down by the task headed by • the' Minister of Transport recently. Since, his report was. tabled, he has been „Raking very optimistic statements In the Rouse and elsewhere about ,the huge amounts of motgage money that will be available to carry out his report's reconamendat- ionS and reach the target of con- struction of 200,000 new homes • this year. It now appears that the in- crease in interest rates already in force, and the probability of an even higher rate in the near future, will reduce rather than build up the pool-of investment capital necessary to provide such a large number of new homes. The 'House of• Commons has also beeq, dealing with other 'measures that might be classif- ied as "hotisekeeping" legislat- ion bills providing for new gov- ernment departments and the amalgamation of others. Throu- ' gh this reform of departments, the goyernment hopes to be able to tackle major problems such , as regional disparity, unemploy- ment and national devekipirierit, in a more effective manner, Whether they will be success- ,ful„.-remains' to be seen. As these events unfold here on Par- liament Hill, I look forward to ' being able to report upon them for you, from time to time. ••
