These thoughts occurred with the announcement that Bill Chadwick, after 16 ,years of braving the hostility of fandom and the whimpering of players, decided to call it a career. For 16 years he has been travelling 50,000 miles per winter season, When he quit, he had covered about 700,000 miles, had refereed in every Stanley Cup play-off since 1939, and had never missed an assignment. Referees today never travel with the teams, nor do they stay at the same hotel occupied by a visiting club. They talk to no one. They travel and live a solitary life during the hockey season. Referees in the big league today have it somewhat easier in one respect than their predecessors of an earlier era, like Mike Redden, Cooper, Smeaton, Bill Stewart, the late Lou Marsh, and Ion. Today's referees are not generally exposed to violence Mike Rodden, tough and game as they come, was punch- ed in the back by a spectator at Montreal's old Mount Arena one night. He wheeled, and, lashed out at the naefY he ;thought to be guilty. Next time Mike visited Moritreah-the -recipient of his light blow-had:Mike arrested. League heads had a busy time getting Mike out of the heosegowen.tiniceto referee. Lou.Marsh was almost mobbed at the same arena one night, The crowd rushed on the ice, but Marsh shrewdly tripped up the leaders, who fell in • a ,heap. Those behind, iskidding uncertainly, fell over them, and Lou skated blithely to the dressing-room while his assailants untangled themselves. " But ,even without the threat of physical violence big league refereeing Is 'a lonely job. Referees are the unsung heroes ,i)f hockey.

What has happened since to Jon Whiteley, the solemn-eyed older one of eight, with the tousled mop of fair har; and Vincent Winter, five and a half, with the chubby cheeks, deter- mined manner and rich Scots accent? Both boys have already made good their early promise and will soon be seen again on the screen. Jon Whiteley, who had starred in "Hunted"' with Dirk Bogarde and so was a veteran when he made "The Kidnap- pers," has just gone home from Hollywood after playing a big part in "Moonfleet," a romantic adventure story of the turbulent eighteenth century. Exciting Chase Young Jon shares many of his' big' scenes in "Mbonfleet" with Stewart Granger, with whom he struck up an immediate friend- ship. Granger and the boy have a tremendously exciting chase sequence, over '400 yards of beach — with a former cham- pion sprinter hot in pursuit. No ordinary extra could keep up with them, so the runner had to be engaged 'specially for the part.' Then there is a tense mo- ment when Granger lowers Jon down inside an ancient well in a bucket— one of the trickiest scenes ever photographed in CinernaScope. The well-house on the surf d'ee was built On one S tagetit0- M.G.M.'s studios, the ferti I well shaft itself being coestriml ed on a loftier stage, where it ' came'to Within a qe.Ve -feet Ole the ceiling.

It is believed that ex- cavations might reveal a Saxon or mediaeval crypt containing treasures, Bishops were probably buried there with their rings and other valuable symbols of office. Be- fore the Reformation this church was rich in plate and mediaeval glass, much of which may have been buried. A preliminary exploration will probably- take place some time this spring. e "Dowsing" for buried treasure with special divining apparatus which indicates "the *presence of large quantities of buried metal is on the increase all over the world.

Although the Bi- shop disapproved of his son's interest in sports, the young lad went on to Sandhurst, Britain's. West Point, where he distingu- ished himself, not only as' a fine runner, but also as an excellent cricketer and soccer player. When the first World War 'broke out, the Bishop's son went to war. He landed in France in August, 1914, and by October he was a captain and had a deco- ration for gallantry, One day he led a bayonet charge against a " machinegun hill. Halfway to his goal, he pitched forward on his face with a slug in his lung. After the battle was over, he was carried back to a hospital where he Was pronounced dead. On the limy to the cemetery, a Red Cross worker happened to look at the corpse' ,and was Startled to see its eyelids flutter. The gallant captain was hur- riedly taken back to the hospi- tal 'for treatment. And the Bi- shop's, son was restored to life after, -narrowly escaping being buried alive. The' Bishop's son never ran again. But he did go on with his military career. He became a- great general in World War IL and contributed to a very great extent to the winning of the bloodiest war the world has ever seen. It • seems that the miracle that had snatched him froth death gave - Britain its greatest commander on the field of battle. Arid all the world, is grateful that he was spared to do so; Much.
