* Hockey playprs have been glorified
and idolized by 'the score, But little la
ever written in appreciation of hockey's
lonely men, the referees,
This is a grave injustice, Somebody
should write a piece about the trials and
tribulations of the men who dodge from
point to point, aloof from all human contact so that no shadow
of suspicion shall be cast upon their calling, They come
almdst furtively into the cities where they are assigned to do
their duties, brave the mass loathing, then make their mouse-
like exits to repeat their heroic chores elsewhere.
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.

How Boy, tAol ie.:Star
Got, His Chance
Just a year ago, in "The Kid=
flappers," 'a couple of small bey8
from Aberdeen were alternate-
ly touching our hearts and mak-
ing us roar with-. -laughter over
their .efforts to keep a baby they
found on the moors as a substi-
tute for the dog they'd always
wanted.
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-

was to measure himself against
Joan almost daily, for she stands

any minute now.. Weekends he
spent visiting Stewart Granger
and Jean Simmons , at their
home. Granger devoted a lot of
time to giving the lad swimming
lessons and Was responsible for
what was probably the most
• exciting 'Moment of the whole
Hollywood trip.
One day Jon came back to

he was allowed to ride on a huge

dog. Between takes • he, spent a
great deal of time consuming
cream 'cakes and drinking vast
quantities of milk.
"I don't think he realizes he is

maiked ,in her pretty Scottish
voice, as she sat on the set,
quietly watching her little son
going through all the symptoms
of young joy
-When the director says "Cut"
that's the .signal for Vincent to
hurl himself on his mother and
demand 'that she read him one
of his favourite Wild West

Buried Treasure
Tests by a diviner recently
revealed "strong indications" of
gold, silver and lead under the
altar of a Devon church, once
one of the wealthiest in the West
Country. 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

A man who inherited a plan-

Thirty-nine years ago an Eng-
lish Bishop had a son who was
a track star. 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. His name will ring
down the ages. For his name is
.1 Marshal Sir Bernard L. Mont-
goniery.
Sports Yarns
One day a travelling salesman,
driving by a ranch in California,
was forced to stop his car when•
his radiator began ,to boil over.
He started to trudge to the near-
est house to get some water,
when, suddenly he was startled,
to see, in the nearby spinach
patch, a human figure flying
through the air. The salesman
forgot everything and tiptoed
closer to watch.
As . he approached he saw a,
slim youngster with a secibnd-
hand .bamboe polo take off
again' down a home-made run-
way and sail Over a makeshift
cross-bar. The salesmane who.
happened to be a track fahrwas'
amazed to note that the bar was
over 13 feet above. the ground.
The salesman rqshed off to

Hanner, track coach at Fresno
State College;;; With his story:
Bursting it on him, he shouted,
"I've just seen -w'ferm boy, vault
13 feet in a spinaCh 'patch!",
The coach piled into the'sales-
man's car and together they
made a run for theranch. There
the two men crept up to the
spinach patch to watch the 'farm
boy pole-Vault. Coach Hanner
caught just onetleap, Then
headed for tie ranch house
where he tackled the boy's
father with 'the proposition that
