• The National Hockey League race is
over. Next week the .four surviving
teams plunge into the classic of the steel
blades, the battle for the Stanley Cup,
and the world championship of what has
come to be Canada's national game.
Literally millions of people on both sides
of the border will either watch, in the
rinks of four cities, or on their television sets, or Wild 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 1914, when the Pacific Coast League included a team
from Portland, Oregon, professional hockey has been inter-
national in its scope, played in the spirit of sport by good
and friendly 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 daily a 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 team south 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 teains 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.
1919 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' then raging, and stout-hearted Joe Hall, a star defense -
man with the Habitants, died in a Seattle hospital,
That was the only unfinished series since the trophy
became the prize for superiority among- professional players.
We spoke of the possibility of surprises. Many of these have
dotted Cup history, Perhaps the most stunning of these came
16 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 pilot ever to achieve a Stanley Cup triumph, had finish-
ed sixth in the points standing of an 8 -club league, They had
scored the least goals of any team. Only one club had been
scored on more frequently. They had won only 14 games
of 48. But in the Cup series, they knocked out Canadiens and
New York Americans, and in a stormy final, took three out
of four from Toronto Leafs.
That's the drama of the. Cup finals — the chance that the
underdog will suddenly show his teeth.

Crossed Sahara
On A Icycde
When Paddy Irwin, a wiry
little 40 -year-old Irishman, re-
sently pedalled over the border
of the Belgian Congo on a bat-
tered cycle, he had logged 286,-
000 miles of cycling in 21 years
—eleven times round the world.
He used up six bicycles in the
process.
Every Bit Helps — This cute Paris
girl tacks up her contribution to
a proposed housing develop-
ment. A local priest appealed
for money to build a low-cost
housing unit for his needy pa-
rishioners, and the public res-
ponded by pinning money to
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 to 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
the 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 French 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.
He cycled on to the Gold Coast,
to Goland, Dahomey, Nigeria,
the French Cameroons, French
Equatoral Africa, the Belgian
Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Tangan-
yika, and back through the Bel-
gian Congo and to Ndola in
Northern Rhodesia.
Paddy worked on the famous
Moan Antelope mine for a time
in 1934, and 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.
Family Tradition _ Rin Tin Tin IV, the great -great-grandson of
one of the silent screen's greatest money-makers, pays tribute

kind of adventure for which Rin Tin Tin I was noted.
PLAIN HORSE SENSE ee
By BOB ELLIS
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.
Trade With Free World
Supposing 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 take some
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.
He could pay his sterling into
the kitty of the European Pay-
ment Plan and go out and buy
anything he lilted ,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 trad-
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 fernier truth-
fully say that it makes much
difference to him which one he
uses, the two being so much
alike?
Would it not be reasonable to
bey more of the one which is
made in the country willing and
capable to take our products.
Balance Of Power — Chicago White Sox General Manager Frank Lane, left, shows three newly
acquired players how to balance baseballs on a bat. Watching Lane's act are, left to rights
Dick Strohs, pitcher/ Johnny Groth, outfielder, and Dick Duffy, pitcher. The trio is expected, of
course, to do better tricks when the season gets under way.
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 and research
workers, managers and secre-
taries, but they never get beyond
the stage of appointing com-
mittees for further study.
Canadian Farmer Equal to Any
Australia's and New Zealand's
farmers maintain their own
offices in Britain,.. They go out
and do a selling job.
The New Zealand farm co-
ops have associated themselves
with the English Co-operative
Wholesale Society and establish-
ed N. Z. Produce Association
with offices in England and New
Zealand.
Surely Canada's farmers can
•do the same. Unless they do,
and do so quickly, our socailed
surpluses will be used to break
hone prices down completely.

cism, constructive or destruc-
tive, and suggestions, wise or
otherwise. Address your replies

How Can 1?
How can I remove ink stains

cornmeal. Let remain over

using fresh as it becomes inky;
then wash spots with ammonia
water to remove the grease.

heavy boiled potatoes?
A. To prevent the spoiling of
boiled potatoes, take the lid off
when serving. Allow them to
cool a little rather than cover
thein and make them heavy

and they are to be stored away?

from boiling water without
burning the fingers?
A. A pair of candy tongs is a

kitchen for removing articles
from boiling water, removing

pressed.
A. When pressing a satin
dress, sponge lightly on the
wrong side, then press the satin
