The Brussels Post, 1948-1-21, Page 3Sports - And One Thing
or Another
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixbit Critic")
So far as we can recall, few hock-
ey deals ever created such a stir, or
were the cause of such great dif-
ferences of opinion, as the big trade
between the Toronto Maple Leafs
and the Chicago Black Hawks a few
weeks ago. And when Use ex -To-
rontotlians immediately started per-
forming smartly in their new Chic-
ago uniforms, while Max Bentley
couldn't even seem to untrack him-.
self as a member of the Leafs, there
was considerable loose talk to the
effect that the Toronto brass, for
once, had outsmarted itself.
4, * *
At the time of the deal we com-
mented that, while Chicago would
probaldy he strengthened by the
trade (when you start out flat
broke the {forst you can get is an
even break) -we just couldn't seem
to see Conn Smythe taking any the
worst of it in a swap..The little
fellow who created ll(apte Leaf
Gardens. and who clid more to turn
hockey into a big -line business than,
any other individual, has made
plenty of enemies. Some of his ac-
tions- and methods -before the pas-
sing of time cooled him out a trifle -
were wide open to criticism: and
we, personally, have never been a
memher of the "Hallelujah" chorus
which surrounded Wt,-
* is *
But we have never made any sec-
ret of our opinion that, as a judge
of hockey tinder -and also in will-
ingness to take a chance w'hcn neces-
sary -he is pretty much in a class by
himself. Now that the smoke has
had time to cleat' away, we can s'7.e
up just what sort of a trade he made
with Chicago better titan when the
fire was hot. And we would say that
-on the form he has been showing
recently. -'la' Bentley was worth
everything given for hint, and a
whole lot more.
q: * *
Always a star, even when largely
surrounded by teammates who were
p',••iug by ear and weren't very musi-
cal at that, Bentley night now is
rently 5onlcthi••Z to watch. Barring
in'uries, he is liable to put several
of the old records into the discard.
Lille most old-timers it is our cus-
tom to bewail the scarcity of hockey
plovers who know anything to do
with a puck except get rid of it as
spedily as possible. We make a de-
tided exception in the case of. Mr.
Bentley and would say that he would
have been a real standout in any
hockey era. (Nuw, just watch hint
go into a slump, lust for softer")
* * *
That old lady. came to mind the
other day 7t'lien, in a mood of con,
temptation or some sarh, we were
cnnsiderisg the state of the world.
From every quarter of the globe the
news was had. Press and radio 'Were
rhorkfad of Tidings of gloom. The
driveway was full of snow, mid get -
ling fuller by the minute. Then, like
a ray of sunshine, tante a happy
thought. Supposing -instead of ab-
solutely refusing to enter the r0rn1ng
Olympics -the Russians had decided
to send a tram. Imagine a close fet-
ish in the 100 -metre flask, for in-.
-starve, Till! Ott American and one of
Joe Stalin's boys hitting the tape.as
a team -and offieialy front three or
fiitr other nations expected to make
the derision. Oh, brattier',' what a
picture to envision! The old lady
was dead right. Things are never
that bad that they couldn't he worse.
Getting back to hockey, we would,
say that the next move due in that
great pastime -(long overdue, in the
opinion of many) -is one aimed at
giving the referees far greater pow-
er than they now seem to possess,
One of the greatest things that ever
happened to baseball was when the
magnates assured the umpires that
they were to be in sole charge, once
a game started, and -what is even
more important -that their decisions
would be solidly backed up by the
higher powers.
The spectate of players arguing
with, threatening and even attacking
officials; of coaches and manager
halting a gate while they tell a ref-
eree what they think of him; and of
protests being made on questions of
fact; -all these are far too common
for a sport that has grown to such
dimensions. and are strictly bush-
league stuff.
The squawks over the robust play
of Bill Ezinicki-and over the al-
leged custom of Maple Leaf players
using wrestling tactics on defense -
are an exanmpie of what I mean.
Either Mr. 13zinicki tees foul tact-
ics --or he doesn't. The Toronto boys
use the clutch -and -grab system un-
duly -or they don't, But ones to de-
cide on such Matters are the officials
put in charge of the games, and no-
body else. If they're not capable -get
some new officials.' 1f they are cap-
able -put soma stiffening in their
hackhones. Or else in the spine of
the League President -who should
be in a position where he could tell
various managers and coaches to be-
have themselves -or else!

' And we rather liked the one about
the American politician who was or-
ating about the glories of the U. 5.
A, The only patios on earth 7edher'e

said, "the only country on God's
footstool where great attd small, rick

paused to refresh himself with a sip

Principal Causes
Of Fires on Farms
Of the 8,000 farm fires estimated
• by the Dominion Bureau of Statis-
tics to have occurred in the 12 months
ended June. 19-47, about 3,000 orig-
inated in the farm house, 3,600 in
barns and outbuildings, and the exact
place of origin of 1,400 could not be
determined.
Defective chimneys and flues were
the principal cause of house fires.
and sparks on combustible roofs
caused 400 fires to farm homes and
200 to • barns and out -buildings.
Overheated stoves and other heat-
ing and cooking equipment was a
common cause of fires not only in
the home hut in barns and farm
buildings. Brooder houses and tobac-
co Kilns were frequently damaged or
destroyed by faulty heating devices.
Farms, many of which lack elec-
tricity for lighting, are more subject
to fires arising • from overturned
lamps and storm lanterns than other
households. It is, estimated 'that the
use of inflammable liquids such ,as
coal .oil and gasoline caused 900
fires, 200 more than those started by
lightning.
Thirty-five per cent of the fires
arose from unknown causes, but past
experience would suggest that a
large proportion of these arose from
spontaneous ignition, particularly in
overheated hay and grain.
One Reason for New (Worried) Look -Ballooning prices of
meats, groceries anti vegetables spoiled a lot of appetites as
housewives got a first-hand taste in hundreds of grocery stores,
of what Ottawa's most recent action has done to food prices.
Every woman wore the "New Look". It was a worried look.
Part of the reason is exhibited by Grocer Walter Gents,
W110 holds two cabbages selling---\vhen any one has that kind
of money ---for Tye a poutltl. Sales price of these two is $1.15.
Though They Look Contented There Are Plenty Of "Beefs" -This scene, from the National
Film Board picture "Quality Beef", shows a large number of western cattle, just after the
round -up, waiting to be graded into classes al ready well-fed enough to be ready for market,
and those requiring extra weeks of feeding before they can meet weight and quality require -

Sea -Faring Folks
Are Devout Breed
Captain Alhgus Walters, famed
master of the racing schooner
Bluenose, }ha., been awarded $3,500
damages in a libel action against
Hearst Magazines, Inc. An article
in a Hearst publication said the
skipper had "cursed the Lord."
It's hard to imagine Captain Wal-
ters or any of his fellow towns-
men in the historic old Nova Sco-
tia cod port of Lunenburg curs-
ing the Lord, ccnunents the Saint
John Telegraph -Journal.
People who battle the elements
for a living, and who know, whew
ever 'they slit, that death may be
waiting for them, lore a devout
breed. The crews of Lunenburg's
schooners and trawlers and drag-
gers are tough, rugged men, be-
cause deep-sea fishing is a tough,
rugged occupation. But, at the
same time, most of them are deep•
ly religious.
For the pop• ulation of Lunen -
burg (around 8,000) the churches
are large and numerous, Sunday
finds them well-filled, even though
it's the only day of the week most
fistsinen have at hone. The hymns
which are sung reflect the calling
and character of members of the
congregation. The favorite one
goes:
"0 hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea ..."
Without in any way dramatizing
the role of the fisherman or the
dangers he faces in his daily work,
it.suay be said that there is hardly
a fancily in Lunenburg which has
not paid A toll of life to the storm -
tossed Atlantic.

"Quality Beef"
How true is the sale that says,
"the customer is always right?"
Whatever you may think, there is
one butcher in Canada who thinks
that the old saying is bunk -at least
when it conies to buying meat.
This butcher -who shall be name-
less -appears in the opening scene of
"Quality Beef", a new colour film
produced in 1947 by the National
Film Board for the federal Depart-
ment of Agriculture. The butcher
deplores the fact that nowadays very
few people seem to be able to tell s
good cut of beef wisen they see it.
Butcher Explains
But our butcher, being the con-
structive type, doesn't stop here. He
Makes use of the film to illustrate
the points you should watch for to
ensure that your cut of beef is a good
one. Red and porous bone and pear'
ly coloured cartilage indicate that the
animal was young and tender;
thickly fleshed bones indicate good
breeding; and adequate -but not too
much -fat covering the outside of the
cut show that the animal had been
well-fed.
Here the film takes leave of the
knowing butcher and surveys the
Canadian cattle and meat packing in -
65th Season Ahead -Venerable
Connie Mack, just turned 85,
is looking forward to his 65th
year in baseball. The ancient
and active chief of the Phila-
delphia Athletics is shown
holding a "white elephant",
which became the Athletics'
symbol as a result of a remark
by John McGraw, who said in
1901*whenthe American Lea-
gtte was about to begin its first
season: "And in Philadelphia,
Connie Mack has a white ele-
phant on his hands". The A's
won nitre pennants and five
world series. '
dustries, showing how Canada has
developed and maintained a standard
of quality known throughout the
world.
Starting With the cattle themselves,
there are scenes of the herds most
commonly seen in this country: the
white-faced and very hardy. Here-
fords; the red, white and roan Short-
horns; and the black and hornless
Aberdeen Angus. The camera then
moves on to the Calgary Bull Sale,
where western Canadian cattlemen
bid for the highest prized sires to
maintain and improve the quality of
their lords.
Breed and Feed
But breeding must be followed
through by good feeding. "Quality
' Beef" then portrays the round up.
where the cattle are inspected and
divided into two classes: those well-
fed enough for the market, and those
requiring a few extra weeks in the
feed lots to bring their weights up to
market standards..
It is interesting here m see the acti-
vities of the Junior Farm Clue's, the
Junior Beef Clubs and the Tunior
Calf Clubs. It is important that our
young farmers carryon the traditions
of quality beef -raising. and these
clubs are doing a fine jol, in passing
on the principles of cattle breeding
and feeding.
In the buttlter shops today, more
and more meat comes stamped with
red and blue marks. This is a sign
that the meat has passed through a
number of rigid inspections by gov-
ernment food inspectors, both before
and after slaughter, in the meat pacic-
ing plants. A health stamp is placed
on every carcass free from disease.
and a second, or "quality" stamp. is
put on soon after -red for choice
quality, and blue for good quality.
The stamp block is a rolling one, and
it *narks the *neat at intervals all
along its length so that when the
neat is cut up into wholesale and re-
tail cuts, the buyer can see the qual-
ity stamp on every piece.
"Quality Beef", then, shows you
that marking and stamping will Tulp
you determine the quality of the neat
you see in your local butcher store.
But, just to refresh your memory,
tato film ends with the friendly but-
cher, who once more gives his criteria
for selecting a good cut of 1 eef for
your Sunday dinner.
