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 will listen to the radioed 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 1V l:etropolitans, who in 1917 had won the championship of a Pacific League in which, as hockey's popularity gripped the west, three American teams 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. Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 437 Yonge SP., Toronto. Calvert DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURG, ONTARIO Crossed Sahara On A Bicycle When Paddy Irwin, a wiry little 40 -year-old Irishman, re- cently pedalled over the border of the Belgian Congo on a bat- tered cycle, he had logged 286,- 000 86;000 miles - of cycling • in. 21 years --eleven times round the world. Te 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 tow -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 millet 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 Iots 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 Roan 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.

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 corn' modities for British money the uses .this money con, put to. Trade With Free World This is just one example, there are many others. Who will , do the job? The .farmers, of course. The govern- ment has shownquite 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 t,'th the English Co-operative olesale : Societyand establish rk'' 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 socalled surpluses will be used to break home prices down completely. Supposing somebody would gd; to London, England, and strikeyj+- 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? Y 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 liked 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 farmer 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 : by more of the one which is made in the country willing and capable to take our products.
