So far -as we can recall, few hock-
ey deals ever created such a stir, or
were "tile cause of suchgreat dif-
ferences of opinion, as the hig trade
between the Toronto Maple .Leafs
and the Chicago Black Hawks a few
weeks ago, And when the ex-To-
rontonians immediately started per-
forming smartly in- their new Chic-
ago uniforms, while Max Bentley
couldn't even seem to untrack him-
self as a member of the Leafs. there
was considerable loose talk to the
effect ° that the. Toronto brass, for
once, had outsmarted itself,
* t *
At the time of the deal we com-
mented that, while Chicago would
probably be strengthened by the
trade—(when you start out flat
broke the worst you can get is an
even break)—we just couldn't seem
to see Conn Smythe taking any the
worst of it in a swap• The little
feilow who created Maple Leaf
Gardens; and who did more to turn
hockey into a big-time business than
anyother individual, has made
plenty .of enemies. Some of his ac-
tions and
c-tions-and methods—before the pas-
sing of time cooled him out a trifle-
were wide open to criticistn; and
we, personally, have never been a
member of the "Hallelujah" chorus
which surrounded him.
But we have never made any sec-
ret of our opinion that, as a Judge
of hockey timber—and also in will-
ingness to take a chance when neces-
sary -he is pretty much in a class by
himself. Now that the smoke has
had time to clear away, we can size
up just *hat sort of a trade he made
with Chicago better than when the
fire was hot. And we would say that
—on the form he has been showing
recently—Max Bentley was worth
everything given for him, and a
whole lot more.
* * *•
Always a star, even when largely
surrounded by teammates who were
playing by ear and weren't very musi-
cal at that, Bentley sight now is
really somethisg to watch. Barring
injuries, he is liable to put several
of the old records into the discard.
1,111P4. Like most old-timers it is our cus-
tom to bewail the scarcity of hockey
players who know anything to do
with a puck except get rid of it as
spedily as possible. We make a de-
cided exception in the case of Mr.
Bentley and would say that he would
have been a real standout in. any
hockey era. (Now, just watch him
go into a slump, just for spiteI")
dt
That old lady came to mind the
other day when, in a Mood of con-
templation or sosne such, we were
considerisg the state of the world.
From every quarter of the globe the
trews was bad. Press and 3•adio were
chockfifl of tidings of gloom. The
driveway was full of snow, and get-
ting fuller by the (minute. Then, like
a ray of sunshine, came a happy
�r
thought. Supposing—instead of ab-
solutely refusing to enter the coming
Olympics—the Russians had decided
to send a -trans. Imagine a close fin-
ish in the 100 -metre dash, for in-
stance, with an American and one of
Joe Stalin's boys hitting the tape as
a tease—and officials from three or
four other nations expected to make
the decision. Oh, brother, what a
picture to envision! The old lady
was dead right. Things are never
that bad that they couldn't be worse.
* * *
Getting back to hockey, we would
say that the next move due in that
great pastime—(long overdue, in the
opinion of many) -is one aimed at
giving the referees far greater pow- .
er than they now seem to possess,
One of the greatest things that ever
happened to .baseball was when the
magnates assured the umpires that
they were to be in sole charge, once
a game started, and—what is even
more, important—ghat their decisions
would be solidly backed up by the
higher powers.
* * �.
The spectale of players arguing
with, threatening and even attacking,
officials; of coaches and manager
halting a game while they tell a ref-
eree what they think of him ; and of
protests being made on questions of
fact;—all these are far too common
for a sport that has grown to such
dimensions, - and are strictly bush
league stuff. -
* * *
The squawks over the robust play
of Bill Ezinicki—and over the al-
leged custom of Maple Leaf players
using wrestling tactics on defense—
are an example of what I mean.
Either Mr. Ezinicki uses foul tact-
ics—or he doesn't. The Toronto boys
use the clutch -and -grab system un-
duly --or they don't. But ones to de-
cide-od. suds matters are the officials
put in charge of the games, and no-
body' else. If they're not. capable -get
some new officials. If they are cap-
able—put some stiffening, in their
backbones Or else in the spine of
the League President who should
be in a position where he could tell
various managers and coaches to be-
have themselves—or else!
In the ancient Roman theatre,
actors wore symbblic colors: old,
men, white; young men, purple;
parasites, 'grcy;' courtesans, yellow.
Though They Look Contented There Are Plenty Of "Beefs"—This scene, from the National
Film Board picture "Quality Beef", shows a large number of western cattle, just after the
round=up, waiting to be graded into classes al ready well-fed enough to be ready for market,

Sea -Faring Folks"
Are Devout Breed
Captain Angus Walters, famed
master of the racing schooner
Bluenose, has been awarded $3,500
damages in a libel action against
Hearst Magazines, Inc. An article
in a Hearst publication said the
skipper had "cursed the Lord."
It's hard to imagine Captain Wal-
ters or any of his fellow towns-
men in the historic old Nova Sco-
tia cod port of Lunenburg curs-
ing
ursing the Lord, comments the Saint
John Telegraph -Journal.
People who battle the elements
for a living, and who know, when-
ever they sail, that death may be
waiting for them, are a devout
breed, The crews of Lunenburg's
schooners and trawlers and drag-
gers are tough, rugged men, be-
cause deep-sea fishing is a tough,
rugged occupation. But, at the
same time, most of them are deep-
ly religious.
*, * *
For the population of Lunen -
burg (around 8,000) the churches
are large and numerous. Sunday
finds them well-filled, even though
it's the only day of the week most
fishmen have at home, The hymns
which are sung reflect the calling
and character of members of the
congregation. The favorite one
goes:
"0 hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea ..."
Without in any way dramatizing
the role of the fisherman or the
dangers he faces in his daily work,
it may be said,that there is hardly .
a family in Lunenburg which has
not paid a toll of life to the storm-
tossed Atlantic.

Square, on a hillside overlooking
the town, for the seamen's memor-
ial service. There a clergymen
reads a list of those who have lost
their lives at sea in the last twelve
mouths. Sometimes there have
been as many as 50 names, After
they have heard the list the peo-
ple parade down to the waterfront
and pile flowers from their own
gardens on the deck of a schooner
which scatters the blossoms over
-the fishing grounds. As the ves-
sel puts out of port the voices of
the Lunenbu ; follow it, raised in
the simple hymns of deep, strong
faith.

ters has for years been the best-
known and perhaps the most popu-
lar citizen, His Bluenose, unde-

Lunenburg world renown. The,
captain, certainly, is no sissy—but
he just isn't the type to curse the
Lord and he naturally objected to
being.accnsect of it.

"Quality Beef"
How true is the saw that says,
"the customer is always right?"
Whatever you may think, there is
one butcher in Canada who thinks
that the old saying is bunk—at least
when it comes to buying meat.
This butcher -who shall be name-
less—appears in the opening scene of
"Quality Beef", a new colour film
produced in 1947 by the National
Film Board for the federal Depart-
ment of Agriculture. The butcher
deplores the fact that nowadays very
few people seem to be able to tell a
good cut of beef when they see it.
Butcher Explains .
But our butcher, being the con-
structive type, doesn't stop here. He
makes use of the film to illustrate
the points you should watch for to
ensure that your cut of beef is a good
one. Red and porous bone and pear-
ly coloured cartilage indicate that the
animal was young and tender;
thickly fleshed bones indicate good
breeding; and adequate—but not too
much—fat covering the outside of the
cut show that the animal had been
well-fed.
Here the film takes leave of the
knowing butcher and surveys the
Canadian cattle and meat packing in -
65th Season Ahead—Venerable
Connie Mack, just turned 85,
is looking forward to his 65th
year in baseball. The ancient
and active chief of the Phila-
delphia Athletics is shown
holding a "white elephant
which became the Athletics'
symbol as a result of a remark
by John McGraw, who• said in
1901 when the American Lea-
gue was about to begin its first
season: "And in Philadelphia,
Connie Mack has a white ele-
phant on his hands". The A's
won nine pennants and five
world series,
dustries, showing how Canada has
developed and maintained a standard
of quality known throughout the
world.
Starting with the cattle themselves,
there are scenes of the herds most
commonly seen in this country: the
white-faced and very hardy. Here-
fords; the red, white and roan Short-
horns; and the black and hornless
Aberdeen Angus. The camera then
moves on to the Calgary Bull Sale,
where western Canadian cattlemen
bid for the highest prized sires to
maintain and improve the quality of
their herds.
Breed and Feed
But breeding must be followed
through by good feeding. "Quality
Beef" then portrays the round up.
where the cattle are inspected and
divided into two classes: those well-
fed enough for the market, and those
requiring a few extra weeks in the
feed lots to bring their weights up to
market standards..
It is interesting here to see the acti-
vities of the Junior Farm Clubs, the
Junior Beef Clubs and the Junior
Calf Clubs. It is important that our
young farmers carry on the traditions
of quality beef -raising, and these
clubs are doing a fine job in passing
on the principles of cattle breeding
and feeding.
In the butcher shops to -day, more
and more meat comes stamped with
red and blue marks. This is a sign
that the meat has passed through a
number of rigid inspections by gov-
ernment food inspectors, both before
and after slaughter, in the meat pack-
ing plants. A health stamp is placed
on every carcass free from disease,
and a second, or "'quality" stamp, is
put on soon after—red for choice
quality, and blue for good quality.
The stamp block- is a rolling one, and
it marks the meat at intervals all
along its length so that when the
meat is cut up into wholesale and re-
tail cuts, the buyer can see the qual-
ity stamp on every piece.
"Quality Beef", then, shows you
that marking and stamping will help
you determine the quality of the meat
you see in your local butcher store.
But, just to refresh your memory,
the film ends with the friendly .but --
