Fire on Icy' tells story of Area b

Hockey in August — it is
hard to believe in snow and
ice when the mercury is
soaring and the air con-
ditioner is roaring, but die-
hard sports fans - can start
the season early this year at
the Blyth Summer Festival.
"Fire on Ice", a new
musical play about Mitchell -
born hockey star Howie
Morenz, opens Aug. 4 at the
Blyth Memorial Hall and
runs until Aug. 22.
The play tells the story of
Morenz, who was born at
Mitchell in 1902. He began
playing hockey, or shinny as
it was called, on the ponds
and rivers around the town
as there were no indoor rinks
ava ilable.
Equipment was rudi-
mentary, to say the least.
Protective gear often con-
sisted of magazines or the
Eaton's catalogue strapped
to the legs. Chunks of coal or
frozen "horse buns" served
as pucks.
Morenz started making a
name for himself at a very
early age. His family moved
to Stratford when he was 14
and he started playing in the
city industrial leagues and
the Midget league. In 1918
Stratford won the area
championship, largely due to
his outstanding play.
All this expertise did not go
unnoticed, and Morenz was
approached several times by
scouts from the major
leagues. In 1923 he signed a
contract with the Montreal
Canadiens. He spent 11 years
with the Cana diens and
became a favorite with the
fans the first year there. He
was called the Babe Ruth of
hockey and established a
reputation as the fastest and
most determined player the
team had ever known.
After 11 years with the
Canadiens, Morenz had one
bad season — although bad
for Morenz was only in
relative terms — and was
traded to Chicago Black
Hawks for a year before
returning to Montreal.
In 1937, halfway through
his first season back with the
Canadiens, Morenz suffered
a freak accident on the ice. A
hard check, a skate caught
along the boards, a twist,
and he ended up in hospital
with a leg fractured in five
places.
Morenz was hospitalized
for several months, and
although the prospects for
recovery appeared good, he
chafed at the inactivity and
worried about his future in
hockey. On March 8, 1937, he
suffered a heart attack and
died shortly afterward, at
the age of 34.
Sports fans throughout the
nation mourned his passing.
His funeral service was held
in the Montreal Forum with
15,000 people jammed into
the stands and thousands
more lined the street for his
funeral procession.
During his" career Morenz
was honored with almost
every award in hockey. He
won the Hari Trophy several
times. He was one of the first
players named to the Hockey
Hall of Fame, and in 1950 he
was named Hockey Player of
the Half -Century.
"Fire on Ice" recreates
the atmosphere of ex-
citement and big business
speculation that surrounded
major league hockey teams
during that era. It was at
that time that hockey
leagues began the era of
their greatest expansion.
The play is adapted from
an original script by Keith
Roulston. It features the
original tunes of John Roby,
w io wrote the music for "T-
he Life That Jack Built" last
season. David Fox directs
the production and the cast
features William Dunlop,
Graham McPherson, Sam
Robinson, Frank Scott and
Keith Thomas.

formation, call 523-9300 or

Take care with fires. First
make sure that local
regulations permit therm,.
Always start them in well -
ventilated areas where there
is no danger of carbon
monoxide inhalation. Never
keep a can of fire starter
near open flames. Have a
bucket or can of water near
the fire in case of
emergencies. Set up dining
areas down -wind and away
from the fire.

volves sampling the seed
purchased by each grower
and comparing the
emergence in the field with
that obtained in the plots at

The 20 fields involved have
already been walked to
complete the first phase of
the study. They will be ratsd
for disease, insects and other
problems.
Many growers walked
their fields with OMAF rep-
resentatives during the
emergence check and some
of their comments were
echoed again and again. The
biggest concern centred
around the poor quality seed
they were receiving. Many
had noticed a greater

less uniformity in seed size

These observations were
borne out at Centralia when
the number of seeds per
pound was calculated.
Redkloud had a 23 per cent
difference in the number of
seeds per pound between
b$s. One lot had 697 seeds
per pound; another lot 859
seeds' per pound.
Sacramento had a 10 per
cent difference.
One grower remarked that
since he paid a lot of money
per acre for seed, he ex-
pected better quality.
The 20 fields being .wat-

ween May 25 and June 5 and

could have been improved to

Seeding rates varied from
50-75 pounds per acre, with
only six growers going at the
recommended 60-65 pounds.
Those using the lower
seeding rates felt that the
beans would fill in the rows.
They also hoped that the
chances of disease would be
lessened by not crowding the
plants.
The number of plants per
fbot of row varied from 2.0 to
3.4. Even though many fields
were below ' the suggested
three to five plants per foot,
the rows still looked full.
This would indicate that
