Need For Bomb Proof Basement
MayBe"No BLaughing Matter"
g g
• (By our Bayfield correspondent)'
At the meeting ofthe property
owners held in the Town Hall on
March' I6, prior to the vote on
building a new school, the ques-
tior. was asked: "Have you ever
built a bomb -proof basement?"
L. :J. Hossie, representing Gerry
Supply and Lumber Company, was
answering ' questions" after show-
ing coloured"slides of new schools.
He laughed, exclaiming in a be-
littling tone; "What! In this
place?" And others in the'aud-
ience laughed, too.
Actually, it is no laughing mat-
ter, tet',•. There have been reports (we
cannot vouch for their truth) that
foreign planes have already trade
reconnaissance flights over this
area. Bayfield is in direct line
between Montreal and Chicago.
And from the north, northwest, or
northeast, it. is in line with the
probable route an enemy bomber
would take if attacking Niagara
or New, York, Detroit or Sarnia,
or other strategic targets south of
us. And don't forget that We are
not many miles distant from
RCAF Stations as well as other
vital points, if war came.

Judging by the remarks made
to the writer, there are a good
many ratepayers; who think that
it would be foolish for economy's
sake to build a new school without
a basement. Some arguethat
there will have to be four feet,
anyway, why not excavate the
other three and build 'a sound
foundation? (Fashions change. In
1375' the trustees' economized by
building the lower part of the
present, school ,without a base-
ment. Then the upper room was
added at a later period. The one -
storey school
is again in favour.
Perhaps in 50 years the need will
be felt to economize in space and
heat by adding another 'storey in-
stead of expanding. Let us plan
for all contingencies).
„ Some point out that a basement
is a- safeguard against dampness
and termites. Others that it makes
for a warmer floor in a building.
And, then, again, it.could be made
into a shelter and recreation room.
Let us be prepared and not laugh'
"on the other sides of our faces"
when it is too late, Let us build
well for the future,

THE STANLEY CUP
Part 1
All sport Is dotted -with daring gambles
hat have added vastly to the drama. And
the Stanley Cup, around which have centred '
for more than half a century some of the
greatest thrills in 'Canadian, ,sport, has pro-
vided many of these.
Perhaps the most dating of all chance -talc -Mg came -about
in the- Stanley Cup finals of 1942, when Toronto Leafs face
Detroit Red Wings, After three games—it was 4 -in -7 series --
the Leafs' cause: looked completely hopeless. Wings had won ,.
the . first three games, the fourth was on Detroit ice, and
victory for the Wings was regarded as a mere matter of 'form.
But Leafs gainbied. Taking a desperate chance, they shot
in three youngsters'to replace established stars. Big Gordie
Drillon, one of the great all-time goalgetters, had scored 23
goals and \vas .an all-star right winger for Leafs that year:
Bouncing Bucko • McDonald, now an MP, got second -team
recognition on defense, But Detroit concentrated on Driilon
right from the opening face-off. That slowed down Leafs'
*hole offence because it tied him up and left Syl Apps, at
centre, without a scoring mate.
And so, by, the -end of the third game, Detroit, which .I
finished fifth in the regular season and beat Montreal and
defender Boston in the preliminary rounds, held a seemingly
unsurmountable lead. And here Leafs took one of the most
dramatic':' gambles. in Cup history. In a• last minute switch,
• Ernie Dickens, who spent most of the season with Providence
in the minor leagues, replaced Bucko McDonald on defense.
'Gaye Stewart, just called up from Hershey, took Hank Gold-
up's place. Leafs put Don Metzin for the scoring star, Drillon,-

Montreal Canadiens -similarly diced with hockey fate h
