We haven't any Idea when the floc.
key (fall of Fame at Kingston will bo•
come something more tangible than a
vague dream of the future, We believe,
though, that the game today is big
enough, and its background sufficiently
rich in episode, history and memento for
establishment of a (Tall that will rival. in a measure, the
baseball shrine at Cooperstown, N. Y.
In Montreal there is a collection of hockey sticks, with
which the original owners performed record feats, and which
will be a fine item for the Hall. And the richest addition to
this unusual assortment was made not long since when a
collector of hockey trivia donated to the group the stick that
the hockey -immortal Howie Morenz carried that night of
January 28, 1937, when the Stratford Streak caromed off
13ig Earl Siebert, crashed heavily, skates -first, into the wooden
border just above the ice at the South end of the Montreal
Forum' and broke his leg. Two months later Bowie died.
They said his heart hao failed him. More likely his heart
was broken as he realized he might never play his beloved
game again.
Probably the Morenz stick is the lightest in weight, of all
the sticks in the Montreal Forum collection, Naturally, it
has dried out considerably in the 15 years since it fell from
Howie's hands, but it was carefully shellacked as a preserva-
tive measure. Morenz always used a very light stick, Some
players believe they get more control and more speed of shot
with a heavyweight club, but Morenz never thought so,
Bowie used what is known as a No. a, stick so that it is carried
at a distance from the body. The angle of the blade to the
handle makes that difference.
There is just one autograph on the stick. Suitably enough
it was inscribed by Howie's great partner over a long span
of years, Aurel Joliet.
The stick goes to join a notable collection of war -clubs
and they will, in the course of time, go into the Hockey Hall
Of Fame. We imagine the biggest club in the lot is that which
belonged to Nels Stewart, when the great scorer played his
final games with New York Americans. Stewart favored
the heaviest stick he could get.
Another big club is that with which Cannonading Charlie
Conaeher scored almost the last of his 225 goals. The sticks
with which Gordie Howe, Teddy Lindsay, Elmer leach, Porky
Dumart and Milt Schmidt scored their 200th goals are there.
Rocket Richard has two sticks in the display, one with which
he scored goal No. 200, another with which he notched the
counter that broke Nels Stewart's life -time record of 324
NHL goals.
And there's a touch of near -tragedy among the sticks. For
hanging there is the club Ace Bailey carried that night of
December -12, 1933, when he was crashed face -downward by
Eddie Shore. fractured his skull, hovered between life and
death many days and nights and finally recovered.

PLAIN HORSE SENSE ..
B BOB FLUS
In the dispute between the
gold miners and the mine
operators, neither the arguments
of the union for, nor the argu-
ments of management against,
union security are impressive.
A Horse Smiles
Union leaders say that they
need the "checkoff" or "main-
tenance of membership" to fin-
ance union activities. .Phis in
itself is a good reason and has
been recognized as s u c h,
amongst others by Mr. Justice
Band; but no evidence has been
adduced yet that it is a right,
except the precedent of six
provinces where it has been put
on the Statutes.
On the other side of the fence
some of the big operators have
solemnly declared their concern
for the freedom of their ern-
- ployees which they see threat-
ened by the "union bosses" An
argument which perhaps could
draw a smile from a horse.
So far, so good. Here are the
two industrial giants at a tug
of war and the rest of the peo-
ple are looking on trying to
pick the winner,
Democratic Rights
However, when labour Lead-
ers are claiming union security
as a "democratic" right and the
Honourable Jelinister of Labour
says that it is "a good point for
collective bargaining" a n d
should not be made compulsory
in law, the question immediate-
ly becomes one of general in-
terest as it may prejudice and
jeopardize the rights of others.
To denote the right of asso-
ciation as "democratic" is not
only false, it is outright. dan-
gerous.
"Democratic" is a political
word with the connotation of
government. Therefore a demo-
cratic right could be construed
as a right by the government,
which could be taken away
again by the government. The
right of association, and all
rights deriving from it, are notch
more than political,

Natural Rights
The right of a man to form
associations for his spiritual and
material development is from
Nature, not from the State,
which indeed is itself based on
it.
Man was created free and en-
dowed with intelligence and
free will. He was before the
State was, which he organized
for his own benefit better to
protect his own rights.
It is the duty of the State to
protect the natural rights of its
members.' It may define and
regulate them, but it can neither
add to them nor detra, t from
them,
Eternal Law
These rights are based on the
universal law of injustice. de-
fined over 2,000 years by the
last great Roman philosopher as
" a true law, a right reason,
conformable to nature, univer-
sal, unchangeable, e t e r n a 1,
whose command urge us to duty,
and whose prohibitions restrain
us from evil... This raw can-
not be contradicted by any
other law, and is not liable
either to derogation or abro-
gation ... in all times and na-
tions this universal law must
forever reign, eternal and im-
perishable. It is the sovereign
master and emperor of all be-
ings. God himself is its author,
its promulgator, its enforcer."
Natural Justice
If the unions are arguing for
union security as a politica.i
right, they are arguing on the
wrong plane.
It is a natural right, and it
is as such that society in its
own interest, must safeguard it:
The Minister of Labour again
is far off the track of "right
reason" when he says that union
security is "a good point for
collective bargaining."
Its form might be a point for
bargaining, subject to the needs
of each and every individual
ease. But the principle is an
absolute and should be written
into positive law.
In Natural 'Justice Canadians
are free to forts aseocittlons,
whether it is to play Bingo or
to negotiate the price of milk
or to bargain for wages.
They look to their democrati-
cally elected government foe
protection of their nights.

gestions, wise or foolish, and all

High Tee — Champion golfer Patty Berg keeps her swinging arm
in shape during an early morning practice session on the roof
of a New York City hotel,
Of all the characters overblown
with a sense of their own im-
portance -and there are plenty
of them in this world -it hes
always seemed to us that sports
moguls are about the most in -
elated. Slather the praise on
the sport from which they make
their livings as thick as you
please, and they take it as no
more than right and proper. But
stick in a word or so of criticism,
and they howl litre so many stuck
pigs e * *
A recent instance of this was
teen when,after the court case
in Barrie where a hockey player
was charged with manslaughter,
the judge had a few pointed
things to say about unnecessary
roughness. From the reaction of
the moguls, notably Clarence
Campbell and Conn Smythe, you
might have thought that His
Honor was attacking the British
Flag or the Christian religion.
"What -hockey too rough? Ridi-
culous! It's unheard of! How
ignorant can people get" was the
general tone of their remarks.
In the November 16 issue of
the Toronto Globe & Mail,
Canada's best-known and most -
admired columnist had something
to say along this line;
Several months ago when we
wrote about rough hockey we
received a letter of rebuke
` from Mr. Clarence Campbell,
president of the NHL and na-
tural mouthpiece for hockey.
Ile saidthat what we had writ-
ten was probably libelous
though as a lawyer he ought
to have known better. We
were not speaking as an ob-
server for we have not seen a
hockey match in twenty years,
but as the result of reading
stories by hockey writers. They
have all at different times
spoken against rough hockey.
Now . Mr. ,.Justice ..Wells . has
powerfully reinforced what we
have all been saying. Fie was
presiding at a trial for man-
slaughter of one young player
who had crashed another play-
er into the boards, inflicting
fatal injuries. This offense
is known as "boarding" and
carries a minor penalty, Is it
to be eonsidered deserving of
only a minor penalty when
one player is killed as a emit
of it? There is enough vio-
lence in the world without
sports and games adding to it.
To point up McAree's criti-
cism, that same issue of the
Globe and Mail carried the news
that on the previous Saturday
night, two Boston players, in a
game with the Maple Leafs, had
suffered leg f r ac t u r e s and
would probably be lost to their
club for most of the season!
y a i
The truth,of the matter is that
hockey, in spite of what the high
brass claims, IIAS got a whole lot
rougher this past ten years or
so. Believing, righty or wrong-
ly, that the cash customers were
lured by the slam-bang type of
game in which high -sticking,
boarding aucl rink -corner free -
for -alts are a feature, coaches
and managers have been look-
ing for players who cnn both
"take it" and "dish it out ".ra-
ther than those who can stick-
handle, dodge and pass.

Naturally, what the big guys

nowadays games of junior, ama-
teur -so -called -hockey too often
bear greater resemblance to an
old-fashioned Donnybrook; than
they do to "the fastest. game on
earth."
Now, there are signs that those
who sowed the wind are liable
to start reaping the whirlwind.
In Britain, where hockey was
"big-time" for several years, it
is definitely on its way out. In
the States - well, what with the
Television opposition and lack
of interest in several places,
anything can happen, To us,
personally, hockey is too good a
game to be ruined in an effort
to please a lot of loud -mouths -
male and female --whose raiiy-
ing-cry is "Get hits" and who
wouldn't recognize skill or clever
play if they found it in their
soup, "There are more -people kill-
ed in baseball than in hockey" is
the word of one distinguished
apologist., which is just as sensi-
ble as the radio comediatl's old

hockey and, at one time a much
more popular one - practically
