CORNISH "Your Westinghouse Dealer" CLINTON 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. where the are Good Friday A service will be held in the Varna United Church on Good Fri- day at 8.15 p.m. and on Easter Sunday; reception services for new members will be held during the regular services at the Goshen. and Varna Churches, beginning at 11.30 a.m. and 2.00 p.m. respectiv- ely.

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.
