r It is inevitable When the super -stars
of hockey meet in the arum' all-star
game, that there will be thrills and dra-
ma, For here is the cream of the crop,
players who represent literally millions of
dollars spent in recruiting, developing
end drilling them into the polished (incase
that major hockey requires.
But, though the all-star game is now an annual affair,' we
doubt if It will ever produce such throat-oatehing drama as'
developed in the very first of such spectacles. It was en a
February night of 1834, in Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, the
night Of the Ace Bailey benefit game and the first time, we be-
lieve, there ever was an all-star hockey battle.
A few weeks before, Leafs had played in Boston. What
was just another game had suddenly belched forth grim and
:,sinister tragedy; conjured up the ehill black spectre of death
in the evening, death in a hockey game,
Eddie Shore, powerful star of the Boston, most -idolized in
Boston, most -hated elsewhere, had, from behind, roughly
hurled his brawn into Bailey, a slit,, fast -skating, hard -shoot-
ing right-winger, as Bailey turned from an abortive play, and.
was moving back, Shore never •asked, never gave, any quarter
in hockey. He played hockey as Dempsey fought, with an in-
born Savagery, a burning lust for victory,
So, in his own rugged fashion, Shore plunged into Bailey,
to shoulder him out of the way. Bailey, off-balance, pitched
forward on his face, his head struck the ice with fearful im-
pact, he lay there in a suddenly nerveless, inert heap. You
can usually tell these major crashes in hockey, and the crowd,
the players, instantly sensed that here was injury and damage
beyond the ordenary. His skull ,vas fractured. For days, it was
a toss-up whether Bailey lived or died, ,
The sports world turned bitterly against phore, He *as
suspended by League edict, while the mobclamored that he
should be barred for life. Others suggested he•'be jailed and
tried for assault — perhaps for murder. TheAnti-Shore feel-
ing was tremendous, •
But Bailey recovered. And .when it was decided to, stage
an all-star game for his benefit, Shore was one of those select-
ed to face Maple Leafs. Before the game Bailey stood in mid -
Ice, shaking hands one by one with the players who were to
perform in his behalf, Finally, it Dame the turn of Shore, the
man whose check, good or bad, had caused all this, the man
who had just missed plunging a fellow -player to death. , A
crowd sat silent, hushed suddenly by the sheer grippling'dra-
ma of the situation. You might have thought Shore's head
would drop a bits that he would have faltered or hesitated or
glanced about. But he did none of those things. Chin up, eyes
clear, he wheeled up to Bailey, stuck out his hand. Bailey
shook it warmly. And a sudden roar of pent-up emotion, that
burst with the sudden force of the Johnstown flood, shook the
great building to the very rafters.
That was drama. We doubt if any other all-star game will
ever produce its equal.

Of recent years our personal

confined to the kind where you
have an order of chips on the
side; and our shooting largely of
the variety named after the late
Mons. Jacques Crapaud, where
the numbers "seven" and."elev-

With pheasant and partridge
shooting not too far off this is the
perfect time to give some con-
sideration to sportsman -farmer
relations. Each autumn at pheas-
ant time, particularly close 10 the
larger cities, there comes a justi-
fiable holler from rural residents
that trigger-happy city slickers
are peppering stack, farmhouse
windows and so forth with mis-
directed shots. Fences are broken
down and gates left open so that
cattle and horses often wander
away.

irate farmer is in no mood to dif-
ferentiate between good and bad
hunters, and who can blame him.
So all must sufrer.
• • •
Yet the farmer is the key to
good shooting, and maintaining
it, in' rural areas, hard by our
cities. So he must be given every
consideration and co-operation.
« *
While all wild game tecnnlcal-
ly belongs to the province; con-
trol of most of its habitat it vest-
ed in the owner or tenant of the
land. The farmer can lock the
door to all hunting on his land,
or he can, as many do, he ex-
ceedingly generous with his hos-
pitality.
• • *
There is an easy approach to
the use of the farmer's magic key.
This is simply through the use of
common courtesy and the follow-
ing 10 commandments are the
open sesame to the farmer's fields
and coverts:
4 * •
1. Always drive into the far-
nler's yard and ask permission
to hunt.
2. Hunt only in the areas he
designates. Stay away from his
stock.
3, Respect' his fences, If neces-
sary to climb them, do sc by a
' post. Use gates if possible, clos-
ing them behind you.
4. Never shoot near houses,
barns or livestock.
5. Leave fruit and other crops

"rat -a -tat -tat
So the major part of the' claim-
ed solution consists of rubber
mountings which cushion the
contact between the motor and
the boat which it drives. By thus
insulating the throb from the
boat, the sounding board effect
is reduced.
This suggests a principle which
might be put to use in other
spheres besides the mechanical.
Sometimes there are persons who
seem to create more than their
share of annoyance in a commu-
nity. Sometimes this is due not
alone to the 'noise the individual
actually makes but to the dis-
turbance .which follows when
various media of publicity—from
the neighborhood gossip to radio
and newspaper chains—pick it

Author's 22 Cats
Author Ernest Hemingway is
such a -target for autograph
hunters that he is tempted to
disguise himself when he travels.
Not long ago he was discovered
"hiding" in a liner that was
bringing him an a trip to Europe
from America. He told officials to
deny that he was on board and
trimmed down his beard to a
"chin -fuzz."
Hemingway was reporting the
war in Spain when he wrote his
first play during an offensive.
The hotel was struck by more
than thirty high explosive shells.
Every time he went up to the
front he hid his manuscript in
the inner fold of a rolled -up mat-
tress.
Hemingway has been working
so hard lately that he has three
novels ahead of schedule so he
can afford to take a rest. He once
said: "I try to write a good beak
every ten years, 1.1 I wrote now
for money, I could bring out a
new book every year:"
When he was staying at Key
West, Florida, he hunted tarpon.
Visitors who called on him were
surprised to learn that he owned
• twenty - two cats, comfortably
housed in a ground -floor room.
TENDERHEARTED
When a noted Scotch comedian
last played the Palace Theatre
in New York, an old friend he
hadn't seen in thirty years gain-
ed access to his dressing room
and begged for a loan. His busi-
ness had failed, his wife had de-
serted him, his son was in jail,
and his daughter had run away
with a salesman.. "In fact," he
concluded, "if you don't help me,
the only thing left is the poor-
house over the hill." The Scotch
star called the doorman and said,
"For heaven's sake, throw this
man out. lie's breaking niy
heart!"

..Plain Horse Sense..
by BOB ELLIS
A few weeks ago we wrote
that "judging by the results of
the election Rt. Hon. James G.
Gardiner, Federal Minister of
Agriculture, must have been
right when he said in his cam-
paign: 'The farmers never had
it so good, they are making more
money than ever before. There
are no surpluses and the British
markets are not lost.'"
Quick Response
This drew a quick response
fem. J. F. Gamble, Secretary of
the Ontario Farmers' Union,
Chatsworth, Ont., who writes:
"Your recent article on toe elec-
tionresults would tend to start
some people scratching their
heads as it seems rather ironical
to say the least, but farm people
apparently do not change easily,
even when they are getting a
slap in the face. There is a lack
of true facts and the need of a
better understanding of election
planks if we are to get any natu-
ral results, when today there is
little personal contact and the
average voter becoming more
disconnected with elections and
parties.
"We feel there is a great lack
of unity among members of la-
bour unions and other organiza-
tions that aim to improve con-
ditions by political action and
until such membership is better
educated to methods of achiev-
ing their aims, we should not ex-
pect too much." , . "The general'
public is very critical of labour
for some of their actions and we
are not condemning anyone, but
feel there is room for much im-
provement in the actions of in-
dividuals if labour is to gain the
proper spot in the public eye .. .
The recent strike of the Team-
sters Union did not create public
appeal."
Common Aim
Mr. Gamble continues that "it
should be the aim of any organi-
zation such as labour or farmer
to be militant enough to do a
gond job and still be sufficiently
dignified to demand a finer place
ha the mind of every public
minded citizen. It is something
we should all aim for as every
worker, whether he is in a fac-
tory or pn a farm, should realize
that we are all in need of a bet-
ter understanding and a more
unified aim, In a country with
such possibilities we coulo show
the world what a working peo-
ple can do for themselves,"
Producers: Consumers.
We agree with Mr. Gamble as
to the necessity of more and bet-
ter membership education and
believe that public relations of
unions could be considerably im-
proved, This applies to both, la-
bour and farmers, who inciden-
tally realize it and discuss these
two points at most every conven-
tion.
Here is a wide field fol the
joint committees established only
a few months ago by the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture end the
Ontario Federation .of Labour,•
and also by the Ontario Farmers'
Union and the Ontario Federa-
tion of Labour.
We heralded these committees
at the time as hopeful achieve-
ments, but have not heard r`f any
of their activities,
Not an easy lob by any means
considering that labour tlhions
like farm marketing associations
are profit business organizations
with the aim to get at large a
share as possible of the price of
the finished product for their
members.
As producers they nave no
other choice in a competitive
system. There is, however, one
plane on which their interests
are identical — as consumers.
As producers we want to get
as much as possible for our prod-
uct. As consumers we want to
buy it as cheaply as possible
This is the point where the
field of co-operation begins.

Germans Gave Eyes
To Blind Briton
Two Germans have each given
an eye to restore the sight of
William Connolly, a Wolver-
hampton man who began to go
blind three years ago as a result
of a World War 1 mustard -gas
attack.
This is how it happened. In
1951 a young German walked
into a Wolverhamton hospital
with a tumor which necessitated
the removal of an eye, and he
agreed that the cornea should
be given to Mr. Connolly. The
operation was a great success.
Then, by an almost incredible
coincidence, a few months ago
another German with the same
complaint' went to the hospital.
He also agreed to give the Brit-
ish ex -soldier the cornea of his
useless eye.
Mr. Connolly has never met the
two Germans whose eyes have
restored his sight, but he hopes
that one day he will be able to
thank them personally.
