The referee Mopped it, This happened in an organized l ague. This shocking incident has an alarming significance. In the past year, junior hoclrey was beset by many scenes of violence and assaults on 'visiting players. According, to; the reports, there have bean.,eherges, countercharges and even. court cases. y ntl'stretch''o the•iniagination can all this be considered part'and plireel: or good sportsmanship. But such a sad state of affairs could hardly have 'developed without . some poor examples. Youngsters in hockey, as in all the, other, sports, copy their elders. They trust the judgment. Of Mei; coaches , and leaders. They look to them for guidance, • Club leaders should recognise that' they' have a sacred responsibility — Young I Canada., We 40 not Want 'to see the Canadian adult of torilorrow turn out to be.a ruffian with no respect for constituted authority and no regard for good sportsmanship. • In the light of those incidents of rough play one may wonder just what Canada's junior hockey players are being taught, by instruction andd by example. If,,as one must suspect, they are learning the dubious arts of thuggery, slugging and foul language, then the outlook for major hockey of the future is a sorry one indeed. But there 4S another,'vastly more disturbing aspect to the matter: this kind of conduct is liable to be copied by genera- tion atter generation of players; each may always be expected to follow worshipfully in the footsteps of its synthetic heroes of the ice -lanes. The result could be disastrous to Canadian sportsmanship as a whole. What major hockey, players perpetrate in the way of mayhem and discord is unseemly enough; but it is not as significant as the sheer rowdyism that is becoming more and more prevalent ameng the. juniors, Senior players are already set on their careers. But the juniors are just, being launched on what amounts to a pattern of life. Unless many of the reported incidents in Canada's junior hockey are exaggerated, it's going to be s pretty sorry pattern of life. The juniors are at the turning point..pf their lives as ;fgture athletes and as future citizens. With, the wrong kind of leadership, they could easily go the wrong way. If there are, within the junior ranks, those who would teach tough methods rather than good sportsmanship, they should be weeded out -but fast. Your comments and suggestions for thhis column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, r/o Calvert House, 431 Yonge St,, Toronto. Calvert DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURO, ONTARIO PLAIN EN HORSE S SENSE By BOB ELLIS Geneva, Switzerland It is little known that Geneva is not only the home of the League of Nations, now housing offices of United Nations, but also of the World Council of Churches. The WCC grew out of the conviction that the churches must learn to cooperate In their attack on the 'world's social and international' problems. A con - 'Terence nt Stolckholm in 1925 led to the launching of the Uni- versal. Christian Council for Life and Work. At that time Many,' felt that the churches should ask themselves why they were divided and whether they we're . justified in such division. Thisled to the World Conference on --Faith and Order in 1927' at Lausanne. To Coordinate Work These' movements for Faith and Order and Life and, Work were found to be so closely re- lated that the members in the Continuation committees of both bodies decided to find a way to ''Coordinate their work. Conse- que3itly they agreed to hold their second conferences in the -same year,' 1937, one in Oxford and the other In Edinburgh. Both accepted a plan for set- ting up a World Council of Churches. . In•1938 a meeting was held in Utrecht to draw up a' constitu- tion for this Council. The hew body was to be permanent coun- cil made up not of individuals but of cooperating churches. It was to he a "fellowship of Churches which accept our Lord Jesus Christ as God and Savi- our.," Amsterdam Assembly The War prevented the hold - of its first assembly until 1948, bttt during the war years the World Council functioned as a syhibol of a deep Christian loy- alty transcending the barriers Of •nationality, which war makes so; evident, The staff of the Council, •operating under the supervision OP a Provincial, Committee set mit by the Utrecht 'Conference, wits able to keep channels of communication and contact open throughout the war period. Once the war clouds had lifted, the World Council (still in process of formation) appeared as a liv- ing organism linking the church- es to one another, In '1848, delegates 'from 150, churches in all parts. of the world met together in Arrester.' dant and on the morning of , A.ugust'23rd officially constituted the World Counoil of Churches. An P nergencll 'Solution It was a time for rejoicing, for the churches had learned to come together; but it was also a time for penitence, for the churches remained in deep and essential ways divided. "What then is the true func- tion of our Council?" asked Dr. W. A. Visser 't Hooft; the Coun- cil's General Secretary, at this first meeting. "Our name gives us the clue to the answer. We are a Council of Churches, not the council of the one undivided Church. Our name indicates our weakness and our shame before God, for there can be and there is finally only one Church of Christ on earth ... Our Council represents therefore an emer- gency solution — a stage on the road — a body living between the time of complete Isolation of the churches from each other and the time — on earth or in heaven — when it will be vis- ibly true that there is one Shepherd and one flock." Membership Growing The World Council has, as the meeting at Utrecht had en- visaged, a membership made of not of local congregations or parishes nor of individual Chris- tians, but of national Church bodies, confessions or denoglina- tions. Today its membership In- cludes cludes the vast majority of Pro- testant and Anglican churches and a substantial number of Or- thodox bodies. There are more than 160 church bodies in 43 countries which have accepted membership. And the Council keeps growing. In January 1953, for example, three new mem- bers were accepted: the Church of the Province of West Africa (Anglican), the Presbyterian Church of the Gold Coast, and the Russian Orthodox Church In the U.S.A.

Probably you've heard it before, but don't think that's going to prevent us from dishing it up again. This is how Zuppke told it: * * a "Along the right of way on the Illinois Central Railroad nestle the towns of Savoy, To- lono, and Tuscola; Somewhat to the east lies St. Joe. Each year these four cities enter football teams in a tournament to decide the Railroad Track Champion- ship. Each of the teams was al- ways equally anxious to win the', title, but one year. St. Joe took the bull by the horns and im- ported an Italian toy from Notre Dame to coach the outfit. The other elevens in the league, were soundly trounced, and St. Joe took the crown. ▪ e . "From the size of the scores rolled up, the St. Joe boys got the idea that they were pretty big potatoes. The , whole town developed a sort of campus hys- teria which culminatecl in a challenge to Danville for a -Bost- season game in which St. Joe was definitely out of its class. There was a wholesale migra- tion by the St. Joe fans -- or at least it was as wholesale as you could get in St. Joe, Twenty boys made the trip with the team. The whole project was terrifically Over -commercialized. The- Athletic Association made arrangement for the team to travel by train instead of by bus, and they sold broadcasting nights to the contest to one of the local merchants. d o e "The St. Joe team was im- pressed with Danville's brand- new gym because they didn't have anything like it in the home town. As they dressed, they explored the place and the coach had some trouble gather- ing them together for a last- minute chat about this and that before they went out to do or get done in. Sticklers for •pro- tocol, the eleven regulars sat on the front benches and the, seven Record Breaker --Furman'* Frank Se vy (2H) tries for another basket against Wofford College as the teams meet, Selvy, wtth Si points, led his team to a 123r,eo 102 victory.. He added three more ali-tlme scoring re* cords to his collection to give him a frond total of 18 United States marks. Ready and waiting for the 1954 "'Canadian National Sports men's Show being held in the Coliseum; Tbronfe, from ,March 1,2 to 20 are these two beauties from'the'Walter Thornton Model' Agency, dressed like Indian 'maidens, Joan Stevens, left, and Joyce Landry, Sportsmen's Show is twice ' as big as in 1953 and features a boat show, motor show, bowling championships, cribbage championships, a travel show, cottage show, a big stage and water revueand two dog shows. scrubs sat in the rear of the . locker room. e e e "The coach, don't forget, was an old Notre Dame man, trained under the great Rockne, and an opening pep talk Was to him as much a part of the game as the opening kickoff. Dramatically, he addressed his squad. 'Boys, you are far away from home end In strange surrondings. Danville has a big team, butthe bigger they are, harder they /all. Just don't let them fall on you. Your fathers and mothers are listening in from faraway St. Joe. Every move will be on the air, You have come thirty long miles to fight for the honor of dear of St Joe, the best little town• In the world, You have won the Railroad Track Cham- pionship and are now playing in the town from which Speaker Cannon came and in which the great actress Helen Morgan was developed. Don't let that get you down. And when you run under that kickoff, run and don't squat. When you hit that star halfback, print the fair name of St. Joe over his you-kriow- what! Now—are you ready to fight and die for the honor and glory of dear of St. Joe?' a 0 * "The team yelled as one man: Yes!' * * * "They jumped to their feet full of fight. Their cheeks and eyes glowed with the flush of expectant victory. Then, led by their captain, they burst through the door and — SPLASH the whole team fell into the swim- ming pool of the new gyml The misguided captain, in his excite- ment, had opened the wrong door." * e e Zup would go on' to paint a mirth -provoking picture of the astonished team climbing, from the pool, dripping its way onto the field, with its spirits thor- oughly and literally damped. Altogether it was a great tale. * * e But it wasn't till after Zuppke had retired from the coaching racket that he broke down and confer%'ld. e * * "That," said Zup, "is a story I've been telling for twenty years. For twenty years it has been told and retold, not only by me, but by men like Field- ing Yost, Knute Rockne, and others. It hasbeen a favorite yarn of locker rooms and ban- quet halls and has become pass- ed on as a story in which each of these famous men has sworn that he had a personal part. I wonder what those borrowers wohld think about their story if `they` realized that it doesn't have even n grain of truth. It was just something I manufactured com- pletely." Modern Etiquette 'llo yhu tilink, it's 'all right for, girls to appear on the street or in buses 'with their hair done up to curlers, even though they have scarfs tied around their heads? A. This depends' upon how th0ae scarfs are tied. If they are tied into attractive turbans With just a little hair showing, it can look all right. But if too many of the, curlers are showing, it's not so good. Q, Where is the date rorrect- ly written in a personal letter, at the top righthand corner or at the lower left? A. Usually, in a long letter it is written at the top right of the page,and in a ,short note at the end. Q. May a wedding "breakfast" ' be served as late as one PM.? A. Yes, it is, still properly a wedding breakfast. Q. If:; s woman arrives at a friend's party and finds that an- other woman, with whom she is on "unfriendly terms; is there, what does She do? A. If she is at all well-bred,. she will disguise her feelings as best as she can — not only for the 'sake ofher hostess, but of the other guests who could be made very uncomfortable if they were made aware of the ill -feel- ing . ' Q. I received a number of gifts at a birthday party recently, and I thanked each donor per- sonally. Is It also necessary that I write each one a thank -you note? A. No. Q. Are the usual bride -and - groom figures the only correct adornment for a wedding cake? A. While these are most often seen, it is certainly all right to use anything else if you wish. Q. What Is the order of pro- cedure to the dining room in one's home? A. At a family gathering, the woman of the house leads the feminine contingent into the dining room and the men follow. But at a formal party, the host, with the woman guest of honor, goes first, then the other guests, followed by the hostess with wbiche er an Ts guest of hoiioz.: •, 4,11, CLASSIFiED ADVERTISING BAsY tUIViid REPEAT Orders are What Cella,,' Mere An4 more of one old Statemore ere plod, hlg their ordure with lie for their 1004 posits, We novo Bread Rr'enslod Bronze, White Hullend, Beltsville Whites, Nebrae• tan, non-eexed, bane, toms, The beet We have ever aro0ueed, prices reeemtable.
