The Brussels Post, 1953-5-27, Page 7IHE Catmt SPORTS COLUMN 4 eiefftel 7vteiattere r A [gelid Of professional sport died w'lhon, ill the most amazing sport upset of the 1953 Stanley Cup series, the power- ful all-star Detroit Red Wings were bum- bled, and knocked out of hockey's classic by the eo-stars Boston Bruins. The tagertti ie that ellril.essiepal sports managers possess i'Aspm tongues, add vbeabularle8, that they drive their charges mercilessly by torrents of abuse and threats, lt'a a legend that has gained through imaginative. fiction, but if it ever was true, and we believe it was correct only in some isolated instances, it doesn't hold in professional Mickey today. A player may be sharply reprimanded in private for some misdoing, some beach of training rules, but intel- ligent analysis and conferences in which coach and manager submit their plans and discuss these with the players, have replaced old-fashioned and out -model bullying, if this ever existed generally. This legend of managerial abuse 'teas punctured right in the Detroit Red Wing camp. Jack Adams, former playing star, who as manager has been one of hockey's greatest build- ers, is a fighting leader, Ile is forthright, he is experienced, he doesn't hesitate to speak his mind. Indeed, he has the repu- tation, outside his club, of being a hard driver. Before the second -last game of the Bruin -iced Wing series, a game played in Detroit it was apparent the great Red Wing machine was grinding its gears. Bruins had already. won three games, Another defeat would put Wings, out of the series. Jack Adams called for a players' conference. There were those, on the fringe, who thought that the Wing leader would rant, roar, abuse the players, seek to inspire them by threats. But, as it turned out, Adams 'talked to his players as a kindly father might talk to a beloved baby son who had slightly misbehaved. As he talked, the Stanley Cup stood in the room with him. And Adams said, quietly, sincerely: "This Stanley Cup is yours now. You won it last spring and you know there's fun in winning it. Every kid in Canada wants his name on it. You're the greatest team today and your names should be on it, But a third place team is on the verge of preventing that. I want you to know that no matter what happens tonight, you are still my boys and you're the best boys I know on and off the ice." No threats, no abuse. But the psychological appeal of the quiet Adams' speech was far stronger than anv fult{n_�inations could have been. There wasn't a dry eye in the Wing klressing- room. And Wings went out fought furiously, won the game, kept their hopes alive until these were snuffed out by the driving Bruins in Boston two nights later. The days of abusive leaders are over in professional hockey, If they ever existed. In hockey today, the potential awards are too great, the athletes playing a game that con- stitutes a career In itself and a springboard to the future are too aware of these facts to require, or perhaps to tolerate, the driving, abusive, blustering coach pictured in fiction. Tour comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, e:'o Calvert House. 431 Yonge St., Toronto. aLvet t DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO ar Nine Separate Processions To Crowning Nine separate precessiohs- Will f proceed to Westminster Abbey, June 2, for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. These will join up for the return journey with the two -mile -long parade escorting the Queen back to Buckingham Palace after the 21h -hour ceremony. The first of these processions Will be that of the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress of Lon- don, They are due to arrive at Westminster Abbey at 8:45 a.m, Seven other processions fol- low. Then comes the most spec- tacular of all, the Queen's gold- en state coach. The Queen will aide in the coach with the Duke of Edinburgh on her left. The processions arrive at the Abbey by way of Northumber- land Avenue and the Thames embankment. They return through Whitehall. Vanguard for Queen 'lice Queen and the Duke are to be preceded by 1,000 mounted and marching men in the re- splendent uniform of the Guards regiments., The coach, drawn by eight Windsor greys from the royal stables, will follow bemed- aled chiefs of the Army, Navy, and Air Force and their opposite numbers from commonwealth countries. ,, Lords Drew Lots Because of shortage of space in the Abbey, the more than 800 members of the House of Lords drew lots for Abbey places. The fortunate ones, like other guests at the ceiemony,.lvili •have.;10 be in their' "seats by "8 30 sun. The service starts at 11:15 a.m. The voluminous robes of crim- son velvet which peers and peer- esses wear for the Coronation are not what they would choose for June temeprature. When asked if people in the Abbey would get refreshment during the six or seven hours t h e y would be there, the Earl Mar- shal, the Duke of Norfolk, re- plied with a smile: "Don't ask me to look into the handbags and pockets of everyone coming to the Abbey." Queen Elizabeth is tc have a short rest and luncheon in the Westminster Abbey annex built specially for the Coronation, be- fore she starts on the return journey. She is expected to be back at the palace by 4:30 p.m. and will appear on the balcony to hatch a flypast by the Royal Air Force. How observant are you? Though a famous soup company says you are very observant, psychologists maintain the odds are 7 to 1 against the average person being highly observant. This soup company each year advertises "Twenty-one different kinds of soups to choose from." But in : the accompanying illus- tration' 22 kinds are shown. Each year about 700 readers of this ad write in to point out the er- ror, which, of course, is exactly what the soup company wants.

Cross and dotted line show the path of the walloped ball and where it landed, 475 feet from home plote. Fingerprints . * They Don't Lief, They say that in the thousands oftimes fingerprints have been produced as evldenee in court a Mistake has never been made, Even the smallest part of one finger's print on a safe o1' win dow is enough ,to lead to the conviction Of 'a thief. A criminal's prints are nearly always smudges, Only about one in a hundred is reasonably dis- tinet. But even alquarter of an inch of clear print can be re- cognized, First the police clasl'sify the type • of print. The main classes are the "whorl" (circular ef- fect), "arch" (like bridges), and "loops," or the composites of two oe the e of these. You can probably classify your own .type by looking al your fingers. Next they examine the ridges in detail. Some ridges end ab- ruptly; otnetss split Mid fork; others divide and rejoin. Some ridges are quite independent, of the rest, The number of ridges are counted and any peculiarities noted, In a quarter of an inch it is sometimes possible to get twenty and more definite points of identification. The police never produce a fingerprint as evidence with less than sixteen points of identity. When the evidence is given in court, it is rarely disputed. In the Criminal Records Of- • lice of,Scotland Yard the finger- prints of known criminals are filed for reference. Although similar prints are constantly be- ing found, .they say it is impos- sible for any two people to have identical ones. Winning Burst—Baseball clothes were no handicap to this ath- lete. Living up to his name, Jim Burst burst ahead to break the tope and win the 100 -yard dash. He was excused from a baseball game to run, but had no' time to change uniforms, Burglars Defeat All Known 'Safeguards 50 runs the startling statement of a special Study Group set up by the Insurance Institute to London. They trace' the endless struggle between men seeking to protect their property and thieves trying to steal it. That whatever new security has been devised, the thief has always beaten it by a newer ingenuity. Locks, bars, bolts, safes—even bank strong -rooms — have been labeled the last word in burglar- proof protection. But all have given way to the attack of deter- mined cracksinen. "Strangely," comments the re- port of the group, "there have been few new inventions against burglaries, Nothing comparable to the combustion engine and flying machine in other ile]ds. Current devices are largely mere improvements on old ideas. The banker's strong -room, a master- piece of anti -theft, is only little more than a stone -walled room with a metal door." These devices are made more complicated, not to defeat the skilled crocksman, but only to make him spend a longer time breaking them down, Something he cannot always afford. Taking a Tip 1 So the ingenous thief takes a tip from science. Using a pneu- matic drill, he smashes his way through a wall, breaks down the concrete around the safe, and removes the unopened safe to where he can work on it at his leisure. The Study Group ,of the in- surance Institute give this and other instances, One gang of Brooke 'made use of a power-, operated grab to wrench away a protective grille from its eon - Australia Bound—"Mooseheart Prince" takes a bait look at one of his mony descendants before taking Off on a long Trip `to Australia, where he will sire a Holstein dairy herd. Until now sire at Mocseheart, he was sold to the Australian govern- ment. Crete setting. They have used vehicle -operated battering-rams against gates and doors. What are the police — and nightwatchmen — doing all this time, you may ask? The Study Group have delved into the answers. The police try to. pre- vent crime. Their actions lead. to the punishment of wrong- doers. From the insurance men's point of view, the object of security for property is to pre- vent loss of goods. A different matter. Since the end of the war bur- glary has increased sharply. So has the daring and skill of crook s. Elaborate protections which take time to defeat are costly—and that is the biggest barrier to their adoption. And did you know that the strict rules governing fire safety often makes it easier for burglars to break-in? Section 36 of the Factories Act states that precautions are ap- plicable "whilst any person is within a factory for the purpose of employment or meals." Right- ly so: But insurance men feel these rulings should be relaxed when the building is closed as anti -burglary assistance to gen- eral precautions. How often thieves step in by way of fire - escapes. More Light Are there, then, no protections? Certainly nothing absolutely crime -proof. The Study Group commend light, for there are less break-ins in well -lit places and summer evenings. Insurance com- panies favour steel bolts because of their strength, but they con- sider lock and door should be of equal strength. Neither audible nor inaudible alarms prevent crimes. Ringing bells are said to alarm burglars, yet damage is done to goods even when silent systems automatically call the police. The ideal of insurance is to keep crooks out. The most pro- mising devices are electronic, already used to guard secret sec- tions of research stations and service airfields. These unseen, unheard alarms connected to the police operate indoors and across open spaces. Any movement in their area sets them into action, So crooks can be caught, but "More, use should be made of television as a method of spread- ing anti-crime propaganda," says the report of the Study Group. Yet still the- major problem is unsolved—you cannot keep the better burglars away. Is your vocabulary average? If it is yott should recognize 11,- 000 words (not counting the naughty ones). If you can recog- nize fewer many physicians 'at- tribute it to the lark of vitamin A—no, not the letter A, vitamin A. You see, a vitamin A deficien- cy causes .a disinclination to use your eyes. ..Plain Horse Sense.. .. by BOB ECUS Poterty in Abundance A short while ago thedally press reported a petition receiv- ed by the United Dations in New York signed by nine mem- s hers of an. Indian tribe in South 1 America. These nine' people, four of whom had to scrawl their marks as they did not know how to write, appealed for milk to feed their starving children. The letter was written in Spanish and addressed to the U. N. International, Children's Emergency Fund. It said in part: "The undersigned, all neigh- bours of this town and unfor- tunately poor, without any pat- rimony other than the scanty product of our own toil, respect- fully set before you that: "Lacking the means to give our ehi 1d r e n their rightful vitality, we hasten to beg you to submit this petition to the noble institution of the United Nations, so that ow' children can be provided with the ,precious benefits — the extra gust of life — that is supplied in the pow- dered milk and cod liver oil which they now lack because of extreme ,poverty," Prosperity through Scarcity At the very sante time parents beg for a f e w cents worth of milk powder for their children, the largest farm organization of the country, the Canadian Fede- ration 'of Agriculture, is serious- ly considering 'the possibilities of creating prosperity f o r its members by controlling and re- stricting production of food- stuffs. They carried a resolution to that effect in ' their annual convention last January. In an editorial "!plan Produc- tion, • published in The Rural Co-aperatoi of May 12th, 1953, Mr. V. S. Mflburn, Secretary - Manager of the Ontario Federa- tian of Agriculture, discusses "overproduction" and "market- ing problems" and offers similar thoughts. Mr, Millurn 'wonders "wheth- er farm` people Itould be Will- ing, and have sufficient intel 1- gence," to accept advice as to "the volumes - required aid whether they would attempt to regulate the,_,ppsition of. supply and demand.In other words he wants to corder the 'ntaiket: It would be ,deplorable if Can- adian farmer(did not have t'suf- ficient intelligence" to see through the hollowness of this suggestion. I£,, indeed, the idea were not propounded in' all seriousness in the official organ of the leading farm organization in Ontario by the highest ad- ministrative officer of this or- ganization, it would be a waste of paper and effort to discuss it at all Three Arguments. Without going into details there are three arguments that immediately come to mind, They are Nature, Organization and Morality. The yields of any given J o1n- modity are to a large extent de- pendent en the weather aver which man has no control. A shower at the right time on a grain field may increase yields by 10 to 20 per cent. Too much rain at 'h a y i n g time will ad- versely affect milk production in winter. To plan production without any surplus it needs a) so exact a forecast of future demand that we doubt it can be made; b) so strict a regimentation that we know Canadians will not accept it. Canadian food surpluses -- with the exceptionof wheat — are said to vary betwen 6 and 12 per cent. The uncertainty of DatUI'S and the impossibility of precise gauging of future mark- ets will prevent any cutting down of this narrow margin. The 1'h i r d, and probably heaviest, argument against re- stricted production, are the mor- al aspects. Two thirds of hu- manity lay themselves to sleep every night on empty stomachs. The question arises whether we have the right to curtail the al - CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING 4ut:.r't'b aAn SMP.

There is no problem of over- production; there is only a problem of maldistribution.' Farming like most other busi- nesses can be profitable only by producing tocapacity, and by t trying to hit a- long term high average, This was easy in war- time. Once Canadian farmers begin to crit down on their production according to known . existing markets, they will soon find th e s e markets to shrink and finally 'fwd themselves reduced to subsistence farming. Farm surpluses again with the exception of wheat — are such -a'^'small part of over-all production that it Should not be impossible to market them, bi it in.

Mr. 1Vlilburn also wonders "whether the solution to this problem n,ight be in our own hands." It is! 'But not by the negative approach of restricted production. Let our farm Ieaders go after the . long promised marketing legislation which will enable Canada's farmers to market their own goods inter -provincially and internationally. Let them work out plans for orderly !Marketing. 'The Canadian farmer has "sufficient intelligence" to reject the idea of curtailing produc- tion, but he is willing "to accept some discipline" and will give "a reasonable amount of sym- pathetic and intelligent sup- port" to a constructive plan of distribution, What he is waiting tor is in- telligent leadership. a j This column welcomes sug- gestions, wise or foolish, and all criticism, whether constructive or destructive and toll try to answer any question.
