NIL Referees Have Lonely Life,
Salaries Good But Razzing Plentiful
Few occupations are lonelier than
that of the. National Hockey Lea-
gue's six referees, Tom Alderman
reported today in Liberty maga-
zine. "They rarely spend more
than two or three days a month
at homeduring a hockey season;'
live in lonely hotel rooms; and tra-
vel 25,000 miles on planes, trains
and buses. They can't consort with
players, club officials or question-
able characters. Mostly they con-
sole themselves with the 'words
of one retired official, "Don't
worry about it, boys, There must
be a heaven for referees, because
they sure catch enough hell on
earth".
NHL referees earn from $6,000
to $11,00 a season. They live on a
fat expense account work only
five or six hours a week. "But,
on the ice they're alone in a crowd
of 15,000 second guessers," writes
Alderman.
Only the best referee can take
the stormy criticism heaped on
them by fans and officials. Jim
Primeau, Scotty Morrison, George
Hayes and many others quit ref -

fing because the mental grief and
lonely Iife was not to their liking.
Referee Red Storey has his own
philosophy about hockey's most
thankless job; "As long as they
give me the raspberry. I know I'm
doing my job and I'm eating steak.
When they quit it'll be hamburg-
er."
Occasionally razzing by fans
does have its humorous side. For
years, one fan has been trying
to land a live octupus on an of-
ficials pate. Recently, he outfitted
it with a pocket size parachute
before sending it ice -ward. Once
after a New York game, Ranger
fans presented Red Storey with a
gift: "in appreciation of your fine
work." The package contained a
huge cork with the inscription,
"for the hole in your head."
Carl Voss became chief referee
nine years ago. It's his job to hire
and train suitable men as referees.
Said Voss, "The best referees are
those with the thickest menta)
hides. They can impose their will
completely over players and fans,
yet give the impression they're not
doing it".

Parr Line Farm
Forum
Parr Line Farm Forum met at
the home of Mr. and. Mrs. John.
Soldan. The subject being "What
can we learn from labour?"
Question 1. What ideas can ag-
riculture borrow from labour to
increase personal income? Strike?'
Closed shop? Dues system? educa-
tional program?
This forum believes if the farm-
ers would organize like labour, it
would be much more benefit to the
farmer himself.
Question 2. Are you in favour
of, strike action by farmers? Give
reason?
We believe unless we farmers
are organized, it would be of no
benefit to strike.
Euchre winners: ladies, Mrs.
Charles Robinson, Mrs. Glen Wei–
do; gentlemen, Glen Weido, Char-
les Robinson. The next meeting
will be at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Stewart Blackwell.
