Canada's national game. . Literally millions of people en both skies of the border will either watch, in the rhnee of four cities, or on their television sets, or win listen to the radio'ed accounts off these stirring battles, The border -line that separates the two great nations of this continent is forgotten as the Stanley Cup battles rage, Since 191..4, when the Pacific Coast League included a team front Portland, Oregon, professional hockey hos been Inter- national in its scope, played in the spirit of sport by good and friez dry neighbors. It was in 1916 that the first profes- sional international Stanley Cup game was played when the Portland Rosebuds, champions of the west coast came east. Each of .the invaders wore dailya fresh rosebud taken from a great basket. But the rosebuds weren't enough, and Montreal Canadiens, the oldest team in professional hockey won the first international Cup series, It was Inevitable that, sooner or later, the Stanley Cup must go to the United States. And the first teant eolith of the border to take ,the prized emblem out of Canada was Seattle Metropolitans, who in 1917 had won the championship of a Pacific League in which, as hockey's popularity gripped the west; three American teams were competing, and only one Canadian entrant remained. Canadiens, again champions of the east, Journeyed west, and lost the title. And so the Cup, for the first time left Canada. 1918g: was a year of tragedy in Stanley Cup annals. For after Canadiens and Seattle each had won two games,; the series, played' on the Pacific Coast, was abandoned, Practical- ly all players on both teams were stricken with the deadly flu' th4Qa raging, and stout-hearted Joe Ball, a star defense - man w1lh the Habitants, died in a Seattle hospital. Thhlllt was the only unfinished series since the trophy became,the prize for superiority among professional players. We spe of the possibility of surprises. Many of „these have dotted Cup history. Perhaps the most stunning of these came 18 years ago, in the spring of 1938, when the Chicago Black Hawks raced through to the title, The Hawks, managed by Bill Stewart, only American - born pilotever to achieve a Stanley Cup triumph, lid finish- ed sixth a fn the points standing of an 8 -club league. They had scored the least goals of any team. Only one club had been scored,I on more frequently. They bed , won o�lly 14 games of 46, But in the Cup series, they krjooited out Canadiens and New York Americans, and in a stormy final, took three out of foul+, from Toronto Leafs, T is the drama of the Cup finials — the chance that the underog will suddenly show his teeth. isms comments and suggestions for this column will b• welcomed bl Elmer Ferguson, c% Calvert House, 431 Yong* St., Toronto. CaLvttt D•iSTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURO, ONTARIO Crossed Sahara On A Bicycle - When Paddy Irwin, a wiry little 40 -year-old Irishman, re- cently pedalled over the border of the Belgian Congo on a bat- tered cycle„'he had logged 286,- 000 mile? of cycling lit 21 years --eleven, times round the world. He used; up six bicycles in the process. • • Every Bit Helps.— This cute Pa lis girl tacks up her contribulon o a proposed housing deveio meat. A local priest appeald for money to build a low-cost housing unit for his needy pih- rishioners, and the public r s- ponded by pinning money o the wall of a house. Paddy claims to be the, first man to cross the Sahara Desert by cycle. He started his cross- ing of the Sahara in October, 1952, from Algiers, He had cycl- ed t0 North Africa from Ireland in 1951, but was refused permis- sion by the French military authorities to attempt the desert journey, so he returned to Britain. He says the first 500 mines of thee desert are hard sand, with an oasis about every 100 miles. "I lived mostly on palm dates, and carried my water in a two- gallon goatskin bag." The second 500 miles is real desert with lots of loose sand on the surface. The Freneb have a machine which clears sand away at 100 miles a day. Paddy met the Spanish operator periodic- ally„ and was given food and 'water. The final 500 miles is hard sand, with an occasional oasis. Paddy's• jounrney took 35 days. Tie cycled on to the Gold Coast, to Goland, Dahomey, Nigeria, the French Cameroon, French Equatoral Africa, the Belgian Cf11!gp, Uganda, Kenya, Tangan- yik, , and back through the Bel- gian Congo and to Ndola in Northern Rhodesia. Paiddy worked on the famous Rohit Antelope mine for a time in 1984, end left Africa in 1944. He returned later, and in 1947 he cycled 11,000 miles to Dakar, starting from Ndola. • From the copper belt he Is continuing his journey to Cape- town. From there he plans to cycle up the west coast of Africa to the Gold Coast, where he in- tends to . settle and prospect for gold. Sonne Queer Ways Of Proposing NMarrMge.

Not many lovers are original in their methods of proposing marriage. Many men find popping the question rather an embarrassing business — some- thing to be done as quickly and unobtrusively as possible, Mr. R. H. Millington, however, didn't think so.

By BOB ELLIS Plean Horse sense. If we accept the fact that the British are not only willing to buy our Canadian food pro- ducts, but are eager to get them, why then do we not sell to them? Without thinking, nine' per- sons out of ten will answer that - the British do not have the dol- lars to pay for our goods. But do we have to have dollars in payment or could we not accept other currencies e.g. sterling? The Oxford Dictionary defines - the word trade as the "exchange Of commodities for money or other commodities." Leaving aside the exchange of our commodities for other commodities, commonly called barter, let's examine the possi- bility of exchanging our com- modities for British -money and the uses this 'money could be put to. `.Grade With Free World Supppsing somebody would go to London, England, and strike a deal with Co-operative Whole- sale Society for a million pounds of lard which they so "desperate- ly" need, and would talkie some Ealance Of Power -'- Chicago White Sag general Manager, Frank Lane„ Idit,, shows three newly acquired players how to balance baseballs on a bat. Watching Lanes act are, left to righty Dick Strohs, pitcher? Johnny Grofh, outfielder, and Dick Duffy, pitcher. The trio is expected, bf course, to do better tricks when the season gats under way. sterling in exchange. What could he do with this sterling? -He could go anywhere in Bri- tain Or the sterling area to pick and choose from what British industry has to offer. He could go further than that. Be could pay his sterling into the kitty of the European Pay- ment Plan and go out and buy anything he liked in any one of the 16 countries which are mem- bers of the European Payment Plan. Let us keep in mind that by far the larger part of the free world, with the exception of Canada, the United States and some minor countries, are trade ing on the basis of sterling. Ford or Ferguson Tractors? Canadian Farmers use Ford and Ferguson tractors. The one is made in U,S.A., the other in Britain. Can any farmer truth- fully say that it makes inuch difference to him which one he uses, the two being so much alike? Would it not be reasonable to buy more of the one which is made in the country willing and capable to take our products. This is just one example, there are many others. Who will do the job? The farmers, of course. The govern- ment has shown quite clearly that it has no intention whatso- ever to promote trade with Bri- tain, Our federations and unions and associations are getting lost in discussions on "two -price" system and "parity" prices. They employ economists andresearch workers, managers and secrea taries, but they never .get beyond the stage of appointing com- mittees for further study.

He wrote: "Pll grant you a divorce after one yearif you axe .not happy. I will pay you $1,000 for an engagement ring if you accept me.
