THE STANLEY .CHP PART
0. All sport is dotted with daring gambles
that have added vastly to the drama,
And the Stanley Cup, around which have
centred for more than half A ,century
seine of the greatest thrills in..Canadian
Sport, has provided many of these,
Rerhaps the most daring of all chance-taking came about
in the .Stanley atials of 19.42, when Toronto Leafs faced,
Detroit Red Wings, After three games—it was 4-in-7 series—
the Leafs' cause looked completely hopeless. Wings had won
the first three games, the fourth was an Detroit ice, and vic-
tory for the Wings was. regarded as a mere matter of form,
But Leafs gambled. Taking a desperate chance, they shot
in three youngsters to replace established .stars, Big C:ordie
Drillon, one of the great all-time goal-getters, had scored 23.
goals and was an all-star right winger for Leafs that year, Bouncing Bucko McDonald, now an MP, got second-team re-
cognition on defense, But Detroit concentrated on Drillori•
right from the opening face-off„. That .slowed down Leafs'
whole offence because it tied him up and left Syl Apps, at
centre, without a scoring mate,
And so, by the end of the third game, Detroit, which
finished fifth in the regular $0418011. .and beat Montreal and.
defender Boston in the preliminary. rounds, held a seemingly
LlisalirMel'intaisle. lead, And .here Leafs took .one of the most
dramatic gambles in Cup history-, In a. last minute switch,
Ernie Dickens, who spent most of the season with Providence.
in the minor leagues, replaced Bucko McDonald on defense,
Gaye Stewart, iu,,t called up from Hershey, took Hank Gold-
up's place, Leafs put Pon Metz in for the scoring star, Drillon.
And with this reVaiSseed lineup, Leafs made .Cup history.
They won the .Cur in four straight, the only time in playoff
history that a team lost the first three and came back -to win.
Montreal Canadiens similarly diced with hockey fate in
the Cup series of 1953. They met Chicago Black Hawks the
first round, won the first two gatnes. Then, suddenly, ,Hawks
wheeled in their tracks,. beat .Canadiens three times, in a
row, and with the next game on Chicago ice, looked like
scoring .a stunning upset.
So Dick Irvin, veteran Canadien coach, gambled.' He
benched lour regulars, goaler McNeil, Paul Meger, pick
Gamble Paul Masnick. He replaced these with four

This Church Uses
Wonder.Working
Drug
Cree Indians of the Red Pheas-
ant Reserve, near North Battle-
ford, in Saskatchewan, have set
up. Canada's first church dedi-
cated to the use of hWlucination-
producing peyote, buttons.
Called the American Church
-of Canada, it has already 40-50
members, and cites as one of its
objects "the fostering and pro-
motion of the use of peyote as
sacrament."
Peyote buttons are the tops of
a 'type of cactus that yrows, wild
in Arizona and other parts of
the United States.- The button
, contains the chemical mescaliri,
which produces strange effects
on athe brain, giving rise to
brightly coloured hallucinations
or visions.
In near-paganchurch rites, the
Redskint gather round an altar
and sing hymns. During the
ceremony they chew the peyote
buttons, each taking two or four.
The drug is said to produce
direct revelations from God, and
' permits ausers to "talk from the
heart," Effects from the drug last
ten to' twelve hours.
Chemieal and, psychiatric re-
ports say that there is nothing
harmful in the drug, and Can-
adian customs officers , are re-
ported not to object to its im-
portation.

Seedlings, ten inches high

in Pretoria, South Africa, in a
long-term experiment to grow
there the largest trees in the
world—the giant sequoias.
These awe-inspiring trees, the
oldest living things on, earth,
flourish high on the slopes of
California's Sierra Nevada,
evade' mountains. Some exceed
300 feet' in height and contain
sufficient timber to build fifty
moder n, six-roomed houses.

It was at least 2,140 years old.
Seeds no larger than a pin-
head rain down from the se-

million every year, but forestry
experts in America and' Can-
ada have calculated that the
chances of one of these fallen
seeds surviving and germinat-
ing is less than one in a mil-
lion.
To demonstrate the great age
of a giant sequoia which fell
during the hurricane thirty-two
years ago, a naturalist of the
Yosemite National Park of
America placed it on exhibi-
tion and marked on a cross-
section of the tree the date at
which the rings were formed
and a well-known event in his-
tory which was taking place at
the time.
This sequoia was about .1,000
years old, the oldest part hav-

you. This is no time for haggling
between Federation and Union;
this is the time for closing ranks,
lest the little bit of order in
marketing gets .,lost and chaos
and anarchy take its place.
Different Principle.
The events of the last weeks
may have had the effect of mak-
ing farmers realize that schemes
which are based on government
appointed boards are bound to
be subject to "political consider-
ations." They are apt to be made
a political football kicked around
by parties who are dependent
for-financial support on interests
directly opposed to the farmers.
It this is done on government
level behind closed doors the
odds will be against the farm-
ers, particularly if their leaders
are Influenced by party loyalties.
The answer is .to take the de-
cision out of, the hands of gov-
ernment and back to 'Where it
belongs, the . Legislature. If each
marketing scheme were to be
established by a separate Act of
Parliament, as it is done in Brit-
ain, to be administered by a pro-
ducer elected board under the
supervision of a Minister who has
to report regularly toparlia-
ment, there would be much less
danger of underhand dealings.
Individual members of the Leg-
islature, acting in open session
and conscious of the fact that
they would be taken to task by
their constituents, would have
live up to election promises.
The safest solution, of course.,
was that taken by the fathers of
present farmers when they elec-
ted their own UFO government.

Drilled! The JFirst
In the summer of 1859 two
men began a race—a •race to
decide who would be the first
American to drill an oil well.
When the race ended, the win-
ner, Dr. H. C. Tweedel, had lost
and the loser, "Col." E. L.
Drake, went on to become an
almost legendary figure, popu-.
fatly regarded as the man who
ushered in the American oil ih-
dustry.
(Commercial oil produCtion in
Forth America had already be • -
gun with the discovery , of oil
in quantity in. Ontario's Lamb-
ton county in the 1850's.)
Drake drilled • in the U.S.;
Tweedel chose to drill in Can-
ada, near Dover, a small village
not , far from Moncton in east-
ern New Brunswick.
Tweedel, whose name has
been almost forgotten, was a
Pittsburgh chemist and an ad-
viser to the Pennsylvania Rock
Oil. Co., formed in 1854. At that
time the one source of petroleum
in the' U.S. was natural seep-
ages. Wherever it collected on
water in Penniylvania and New
York it was laboriously scooped
off the surface, fancily bottled
and .sold as "Seneca Oil;" al-
jegedly a good embrocation for
man pr beast.
ManY humans, besides•rubbing
it on. `their bruises,' sores, sprain's
and - eats, were using it as an
Internal remedy; and farmers
bad discovered that it was also a

lubricant for wooden wagon
axles.
With business booming, the
directors of the Pennsylvania
Rock' Oil Co. reasoned that if
they could pump petroleum
from a well, as water was
pumped, they'd have a great ad-
vantage over their competitors.
This, ,of course meant drilling a
well. Tvtreedel was• fully aware
' of the opportunities. He had
some knowledge of geology and
felt he should have charge of
the big project. His pride was
hurt when his rival, Drake, was
given the project instead of him.
He decided that if there was,
a chance of finding oil by drill-
ing in. Pennsylvania, there was
,a similar chance elsewhere,' If
he could do it, he would vindi-
cate himself, put Drake in his
place, and perhaps make money.
He studied geological reports
from all parts of North America
before embarking on his• venture

Grey County has done it
again, In the rather stormy ses-
sions of the Annual Convention
of the Ontario Hog Producers
Association, it was the .13 man
delegation . supported .by almost
100 farmers from Grey County
which carried the day.
Forcefully presented by the
delegates, a Grey County resolu-
tion bearing the signatures of
700 hog producers called on the
Ontario government to revert to
"its previous policy of protect-
ing the producers' rights" and
appealed to all farmers for co-
operative action.
"If we, the hog producers of
Ontario, fail to attack the pres-
ent inertia both within and
without in a fearless and reso-
lute manner, we will' undoubt-
edly find' ourselves sacrificed in
the interest of political exped-
iency and ultimately would find
ourselves more completely the
pawns of selfish and powerful
business interests than we were
before," warned the presenta-
tion.
Spokesmen of the group scored
the Ontario government• for its
"timidity. and reluctance . . to-
ward providing" adequate legis-
lation."
Closed Ranks.
For a while it looked as if the
whole, marketing scheme would
fall apart when OFA Secretary
V. S. Milburn suggested that
another poll be taken of the
producers in the near future.
However, a motion coming from
Premier Frost's constituency,
Victoria County, that such a
vote. be taken at this time, was
defeated and an amendment
proposed by Grey County car-
ried to the effect that the scheme
be continued for a year and then
submitted to a vote. This will
give the Producers Association
time to re-assess .their position,
find out how useful• and reliable
the new legislation will be, make
plans for the coming year and
bring all information to their
membership. This latter point is
most important as only a well
informed membership can be
expected to have confidence in
the leaders and vote intelligently
on any of their proposals.
