Motor Club Is
Formed By
RCAF In France
Personnel' at No. 2 Fighter
Wing, Gros 'Penguin, France, have
started a motor club which enables
its 130 members to save on re-
pairs and servicing charges. Such
a club is particularly important
to Canadian carowners in France
since local mechanics are not too
familiar with Canadian car models
and do not stock the parts,
A garage with gas pumps has
been built on the outskirts of the
station. Club members purchase
gasoline at the pump for 26 cents
per gallon, compared to nearly $1
if bought at French gas stations.
A NATO agreement on certain
consumer goods entitles Canadian
servicemen in Europe to buy gas
and oil tax free. Coupons are
bought from the American Army
Quartermaster and used at various
couponsgarages across France honoured.

alvett SPORTS COLUMN
Here's a real paradox in sport. Another
quelling struggle for possession of hockey's
most coveted award, the Stanley Cup, is in its
final torrid stages this week. This marks
the
final yardage along a multi-million dollar
trail—for a trophy that cost something less
than :650., and was given originally, for corn
petition among amateur hockey clubs.
It was back in the far -from -gay Nineties that Lord Stan
ley, then Governor General of Canada, donated the sum of ten-
pounds sterling for the purchase of the trophy to bear his'
name. Lord Stanley was rather an indifferent hockey fan.
But during his tenure of office another distinguished English-
man, Lord Kilcoursie, was a visitor at Government House,
Ottawa, and through his efforts the trophy was presented.
Lord Kilcoursie was fascinated by the hockey of the
period, so much so that he asked to be tutored in what he
described as "ice athletics." He proved an apt pupil and
became a player on the Rebels Hockey Club, then a member
of the Ontario Hockey Association. Lord Kilcoursie then
learned that the teams played merely for the glory of winning,
with no tangible recognition given the victors.
He sought out 1115 friend Lord Stanley, and prevailed upon
him to make some fitting donation, preferably one that would
perpetuate the memory of Lord Stanley. Upon receiving the
ten pounds Lord Kilcoursie had a trophy fashioned to be known
as the Stanley Cup and presented annually as symbolic of
Canadian hockey supremacy.
The cul awarded as a, challenge trophy for amateur hock-
ey, for the very good reason that Hien — in the days of natural
ice, small rinks, many of them open-air — professional hockey
was not even thought 01. There was nothing in the deed of.
the gift stipuating, that amateurs only should play for the
trophy, and gradually the Cup passed into the hands of the
professional clubs.
It was held by the eastern professional champions until
the Patrick brother, Lester and Frank, daringly organized
the Pacific Coast League, challenged for the trophy, and
frequently won it. When the Coast League collapsed in the
mid -20's, the trophy remained with the National League, ful-
filling its destiny as symbolic of hockey supremacy.
Many millions of dollars have since been invested in great,
artificial lee -palaces, more millions in salaries, training and
travelling expenses, coaches, managers, farm circuits, upkeep
of the great rinks, maintenance of hockey headquarters, reim-
bursement of referees and other .officials. "A million dollar
trail" is putting it mildly. Competition for the $50 trophy,
and of course for the monetary awards that are coupled with ,
it have run into the billion -dollar mark, beyond doubt.
Your comments and suggesifons for fhb column will bo welcomed
by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Tonga St., Toronto.
