Ten years ago this month, Joseph Henri
Maurice Richard, known, more t'amiliar-
ly as "The Rocket" banged ! .nd five
goals as • Montreal Cauadiens • defeated
Toronto Leafs 5.1 in a Stanley Cup play -
down match, The scoffers of the day said
that Richard, the in his first real major
league . season, was merely a "war -time
lash"; that kte would fade out of the picture, as indeed did
many stars of that era, when the troops game marching home
and peace settled uneasily upon the world.
But time has marched on, as it has a habit of doing, and
witlr World War II long over, no other player has equalled the
5 -goal record of the grim -faced Richard in a single Cup game;
no one is close to his 79 points and 54 goals in play-off com-
no one is colse to his 79 points and 54 goals in play-off com-
petition; and it will be many years, we confidently predict,
before .any player hits the high League mark Richard has
achieved, since he shattered Nels Stewart's 324 goals record,
and headed towards the 400 -mark,
Possibly excepting Eddie Share, Richard has been the
highest-paid, the most vivid, discussed Gild publicized figure
in hockey. Personally, out of hockey action, Richard is an
almost isolated individual, polite but aloof and secluded. He
Is a ruthless competitor, plays'' hockey under a tremendous
mental strain, and this carries over when the gameels finished.
In the dressing -room, he will answer questions, perhaps po-
litely, perhaps curtly, his degree of moodiness depending upon
whether the team has won or lost.
He seldom smiles, for his face is set in grim, hard lines.
On the long train -trips -that hockey teams must take, Richard
does not share the easy sociability and camel aderie that de-
velops. He seldom takes part in any of the card -games, played
to break the tedium of travel, He retires to his berth as soon
as the train is in motion, reads and sleeps, and continues the
same routine into the day.
But Richard definitely does not consider himself a super-
ior being. No one will rush faster than Richard to aid a fellow -
player in trouble, on or off the ice. In the latter, witness his
out -spoken editorial defence of his team-mate Boom Boom
Geoffrion. A former Golden Glove boxer, he is a heavy hitter
in tistic combat, has laid more than one opponent low with a
single knockout punch. But he seldom, if ever, hits first.
Long ago, Maurice Richard has lived down the designation
of "war -time flash". His record beyond the war years has been
little short of sensational.

PLAI
HSSE SENSE ..
By BOB ELLIS
We feel so strongly about the
possibilities of trading with Bri-
tain that we have to emphasize
again the necessity for Canadian
farm organizations to go into
the selling business on a nation-
al scale.
That Canadian farmers can act
co-operatively has been proven
by the cheese producers of On-
tario when they sold ten million
pounds of cheese to Britain, re-
portedly against the wishes of
some members of the federal
government. Selling at lower
th the home price the differ-
ence was made up by the mem-
bers of the provincial organiza-
tion.
This deal worked out to the
benefit not only of the cheese
producers of the whole country
but of all branches of the dairy
industry. In all fairness one
group cannot be expected to
carry the load for all.
If Ontario' would continue to
do so, it would be easy for the
other provinces to ship their
surpluses into Ontario and to let
the Ontario farmers take the
loSS.
National Scheme
It is reasonable that all par-
ticipate in any such scheme. To
set up the necessary machinery
federal legislation is needed. At
present marketing boards estab-
lished. under provincial legisla-
tion can get together and act as
a national board, No farm orga-
nization, however, has yet come
out with the demand for produc-
er controlled marketing agencies
on a national basis. If anyone
has, it has escaped our attention.
Our provincial marketing
boards, could hardly be called
"producer controlled" and too
little is known about their acti-
vities.
Trade For Sterling
A national marketing agency
for any given commodity, estab-
lished under a federal charter
upon the request of .a majority
of producers of that commodity,
would control, that commodity in
all ten provinces. It would have
the power to remove surpluses
from the home market and sell
them anywhere in the world.
With Britain as the tradition-
al customer for Canadian food
products, the agency could set
up its own offices in London in
the same way as Australia and
g1ew Zealand farmers have done.
It could deal directly with Brit-
ish buyers, particularly consum•-

tle of brandy hanging from his
neck.
er organizations like Co-opera-
tive Wholesale Societies where
they would be heartily welcom-
ed.
The London office would act
not only as a sales agency but
also as buyer. It would sell Can-
adian products, accept payment
in sterling and use it for pur-
chases of goods saleable in Can-
ada. These purchases could be
made in Britain, in the Common-
wealth and in any country which
is a member of the European
Payment Plan. In Canada these
goods could be marketed by Can-
adian wholesale co-operatives.
It might be important to stress
the fact that we would buy goods
which at present are imported
from countries where they have
to be paid for will- dollars and
that these importations would
not compete with Canadian man-
ufactured goods. This only in
view of the general attitude, that
Canadian industry has to be pro-
tected while Canadian farmers
have to take the chances of a free
world market.

In The Doghouse!
As far as we know, there is
no suggestion that St. Bernard
dogs be trained in Montana for
work traditional to them in
Switzerland. But one at least
is training himself.
A subzero snowstorm in the
Whitefish area recently left a
stranger in town stranded and
unable to rouse anyone at the
only house he saw. But there
was an outsize dog kennel there
and the man crawled in and
spent the night cuddled up to a
St. Bernard called Peter Pan.
Now Peter Pan is not the sort
of dog to welcome strangers or-
dinarily — he won't let anyone
but the family near his domain.
What unaccustomed thoughts
did this episode awaken? Did
he recall his mother's tales of
how dogs searched the snow for
lost travelers? Did a once -keen
ambition to perform a rescue
stir again that night?
More likely it was a case of
fear and ferocity giving way to
the demand of the moment. The
man needed shelter; the dog
gave it.
Frequently animals and birds
ordinarily wary of people have
sought their help in emergency.
There was a wild fawn which
Waited hopefully 'on the edge of
a forest fire when a car stopped.
The driver picked him up, un-
resisting, and drove him to
safety.
A duckling, beating frantical-
ly against a high Thames River
tide to rejoin its family, only
lost headway. So it paddled to
the bank, ran to the feet of two
interested watchers, and cheeped
imperatively. The woman pick-
ed it up and felt it nestle con-
fidently in her hand as she car-
ried it along sufficiently far
above the duck family for the
tide's flow to carry it back.
Then she set it in the water
again, and it darted off, back to
its mother's side.
Such instances are proof that
there is a fundamental harmony
between men and the animal
kingdom, a harmony which
breaks through when distrust
and fear are wiped out. We are
glad of Peter Pan's reminder
that this is also a two-way street
of helpfulness.—From the Chris-
tian Science Monitor.

He Really Knew!
Calling one evening at an inn
on the outskirts of Copenhagen,
a middle-aged Dane overheard
three men discussing 'the short-
comings of a business man who
had died five years before.
They were unanimous in de-
claring that the dead man had
been utterly selfish, bad-tem-
pered, miserly, mean and some-
times cruel.
The newcomer suddenly inter-
rupted the three men's conver-
sation. "Gentlemen," he said
quietly. "How mistaken you are
in your judgment, The man you
are speaking about was through-
out his lifetime courteous, kind,
generous, lovable and most
.thoughtful."
The men were embarrassed,
"He was a friend of yours?"
asked one.
"No, I never ,, met him," the
interrupter replied.
"If you had met him you
would not praise his character,"
said the other. "What makes
you believe he was such a
splendid man?"
"I ought to know," said the
man, "You see, I married his
widow!"
