• Andre Binette is a hockey goaler,
z •; though perhaps not a very good one,
Also, he is just a little boy; a very little
boy Indeed, compared to the giants of
;y NSW major hockey. He weighs'. only 133
pounds. Yet little Andre Binette has
written into the saga of hockey when
he was called on in a sudden emergency by a National
Hockey League team.
The night of November 11 Canadiens were drilling in
the usual fashion before playing Chicago Black Hawks.
Jacques Plante, the hawk -faced goaler was in the nets,
casually batting away the shots his mates were tossing his
way. The shots were easy for the swift -moving Plante
to handle. Easy, that is, until one streaking drive took a
sudden sharp curve and the frozen puck, travelling at bullet
speed, crashed into his face. He fell head -foremost onto the
ice. His cheek -bone was shattered by the impact.
Canadians had two spare goalers. One was out of the
city, with Royals' team. The other was down at Providence.
So, suddenly, the League leaders found themselves with no
goaler at all. There someone recalled that little Andre
Binette, spare net -minder for a junior team, was in the
house. Quickly, he was found. Ile was asked to play: "No,
no" he protested at first, bewildered by it all. "It would
not be fair to Canadiens. I am so small."
But in the end, he consented to fill the gap as best he
could. He was hurried to the dressing -room, equipped with
the big pads left behind by the 175 -pound Plante, pads which
hung almost ludicrously from the little fellow's skimpy
frame. He shambed out on the ice, shaking with nervous
tension, weighted down by the over -size gear — his own was
in a sports Shop, being cut down.
But his moment of glory has come and he rose to meet
it. Hawks pelted him with shots. One got by because his
leg pads struck his chest when he bent over and he couldn't
reach down to stop the puck, sliding along the ice. Four
shots beat him in all. Canadiens imagination caught fire.
"We can't let the kid down" was their, battle -cry, and they
fired seven goals, equalling their highest total of the year,
past Rollins in the Chicago twine.
So for little Andre Binette, as he lurched wearily down
the ice, a dream had suddenly come true. He had his night
of glory. Probably he will never play in the National League
again. But he had his game, and won it, and his name will
be inscribed in the all-time records as one of those hockey
rarities — a goaler who batted 1,000 percent.

Beehive -shaped
A man who has kept bees in
New Plymouth, New Zealand,
for 34 years has finally built a
"beehive" for himself.
From his long experience as
beekeeper, George Brewster has
discovered that bees knew what
they were doing when they
chose the hexagon as a basis
for hive construction.
And ,since it •was good enough
for the bees, it was good enough
„for Mr. Brewster, "something
EMPTY POCKETS—The solution to
the problem of how to keep that
well -pressed look is in the brief
case. John Barbieri, taller, says
that a brief case tailored to
match the suit could well take
the load usually carried in the
average ,businessman's 10-16
(count 'em) pockets.
superior," he said, "to man-
made right angles." So he built
a house of no right angles, using
the hexagon as the basis of
measurements and design.
Hence, Mr. Brewster has come
up with something unique in the
history of prefabricated con-
struction. The benefits are mani-
fold, he said. For the hexagon,
he added, provides greater floor
space for relative wall space,
greater storage capacity, and far
greater strength for the con-
struction unit.
It also has the advantage of
unlimited variations of design
and size from an extremely
small number of basic shapes
and pieces.
Mr.. Brewster has reduced the
materials used to 16 standard
parts which can be factory -cut
and mass produced.
Many of the parts make use
of smaller waste pieces of tim-
ber that ordinarily - drift from
the orthodox construction job
into the scrap heap. All the wall
units have a laminated frame,
lined on the inside with hex-
agonal sections, each built around
three diamond shapes and •fin-
ished on the outside with a
sheathing ' of , rough -cast plaster.
Mr. Brewster's own house con-
- sists of seven equal -sized rooms
or units, all opening from a
central hall and joined by
quaintly shaped archways which
can be curtained or fitted with
sliding doors.
The only discordant note to
Mr. Brewster is the rectangular
bath, but the plumber just could
not bring himself to follow the
suggestion to "knock the corners
off."
Mrs. Brewster, who shares her
husband's enthusiasm for this
"beewise" style of living, finds
their home a joy to .keep in
order.

Stars and (Planets
Stars and planets look very
much alike, although they are
actually entirely different kinds
of bodies. Stars are huge balls of
extremely hot and glowing gas,
like our own sun. Planets are
much smaller than most stars
and are more or less like the
earth, for they have no light or
heat of their own. The planets
shine brilliantly in the sky
simply because they reflect the
light of the sun, somewhat as a
mirror might. While there are
countless trillions of stars, we
know definitely of only nine
planets, and all of these belong
to the sun's family.
On a clear .night the sky is
full of stars. Since the planets
are constantly moving around
the sun, some of these bodies
may be in the night-time sky
where we can see them among
the stars, and some of them may
be in the daytime sky where we
can not see them because of the
sunlight. At times when some of
the planets are shining among
the stars, it may be difficult to
know which are planets and
which are stars.
We have already seen that
stars twinkle because their light
is -bent in various ways by the
differently heated layers of at-
mosphere. Planets do . not
twinkle, ordinarily, but seem to
shine with a steady, unwavering •
light, Even through large tele-
scopes, the biggest stars appear
simply as tiny points of light,
whiles the planets show very
definite discs and surf ace s.
Hence, more rays come to us
from the surface of a planet
than from the surface of a star.
The light from the planets. does
not waver as much as that from
the stars because the wavering
of one ray of light is counter-
acted by the wavering of an-
other ray in another direction.
Planets can also be picked out
by noticing that over a period of
time they change their positions
against the background of the
stars. The word planet means
wanderer. Through the year, the
planets can be seen traveling
against the starry sky. The stars,
on the other hand, seem to re-
main fixed in relation to each
other.

PLAIN HORSE SENSE..
By F. (BOB)
A strong plea for a clear-cut
agricultural policy was made a
few days ago in the House of
Commons by F. S. Zaplitny
(member for Dauphin, Man.).
Mr. .Zaplitny said that he
wanted to repeat the statement
that had been made so often by
by members of all parties "that
agriculture is entitled to its fair
share of the national income.
He 'said that he was not going
to ask for "hand-outs" or "pre-
ferred treatment," but wanted
to outline "a policy which will,
as near as it is possible to do
so, bring to agriculture its- fair
share of the national income."
Supports Forward Prices
He quoted a resolution carried
at a 'recent convention of the
Manitoba Farmers Union which
calls for the establishment by
the federal government of "a
policy of forward pricing en all
agricultural commodities, which
would bear a 95 per cent parity
relationship to other goods and
services, thus bringing about
stability in agriculture and
strengthen .our whole economy."
The honourable member for
Dauphin carne out strongly in
support of this resolution from
which . he evolved a number of
necessary measures, the first
and foremost of which is a sys-
tem of marketing boards.
He asked for assistance to
those prtivinces which are now
trying to organize livestock
marketing' boards with the ul-
timate aim of setting up a
national livestock marketing
board.
More important still was the
establishment of floor prices for
livestock products, Which Mr.
Zaplitny submitted was a mat-
ter beyond the financial pos-
sibilities of any one province
and a responsibility of the fed-
eral government.
Two Price System
Mr. Zaplitny went on to dis-
cuss twhat is 'called, in the opin-
ion of this writer erroneously
so, a two price system; in other
words one•set price for the home
market and lower competitive
prices for export. Fie explained
VON FILIS
that this was regular practice as
far as industry is concerned.
This column has always pro-
pounded the idea of setting.
commodity prices for home con-
sumption and to export any
"surpluses" at world prices.
The question to be answered is
whether this should be done by
the government or by the farm-
ers- themselves through their •
own marketing agencies.
Price Spreads Investigation
The honourable member also
urged the government to in-
vestigate the spreads of prices
between producer and consum-
er. He 'produced figures which
show that wheat for which the
farmer received 96 cents to
$L25 costs $7.28 when retailed
in the form of bread. Oats for
which the farmer received 20
to 52 cents per bushel bring
.$3.62 a bushel when turned into
rolled oats for human consump-
tion. Barley for which the farm-
ers are paid 50 to 92 cents a
bushel, is worth $4.32 in the
form of dry malt, and if turn-
ed into liquid malt as ,much as
$9,
For the People of Canada
Mr. Zaplitny ended his speech
with an appeal to national
pride, genuine love of the Ca-
nadian soil, the appreciation of
the possibilities in our country
and the knowledge of the great-
er things that can be done for
the benefit of the people of
Canada.
It would be useful for farm-
ers to study this speech and
to discuss . the proposed policies
at their meetings.

Good Tame To
Check Junlor's Feet
With snow on the ground and
frost in the air, Grandpa used
to grumble when he was a boy
about that four -mile hike to the
little red schoolhouse.
But his complaints were a
mere whisper compared to the
howl put up by today's young-
sters if they have to walk more
than a half-dozen blocks to
school.
' According to foot doctors, how-
ever, there may be some merit
to Junior's complaints. The
doctors say that Junior's feet
are probably worse off than
Grandpa's ever were. Why?
Well, Grandpa's parents knew
more about foot care than we
do — his generation did a great
deal more walking and thus
were more conscious of shoes
and foot comfort.
Today's youngsters do a lot
of their daily travel in cars and
buses, and parents are apt to
neglect their feet -- which is
why school health examinations
turn up the fact that far too
many children are wearing un-
suitable and outgrown shoes.
The pair you bought Junior in
the Fall may still have a lot of
wear in them, but chances are
they're cramping his feet as he
steps out in 1955 — and that can
be the beginning of foot troubles
that can plague him all his life.
With four months of school
and rough play behind them,
midwinter is a good time to
check your children's shoes if
you want them to walk into the
new school term on healthy
feet.
And be ,sure to take a little
extra time and care when you
buy Junior new shoes, special-
ly as far as fit and materials are
concerned. Make certain that
the soles are made of flexible
leather that bends easily with
the foot.
But no matter how much your
youngster likes a particular
style, don't let him leave the
store in badly fitting shoes. Have
his feet measured standing up
— they'll spread naturally with
his weight on then. The proper
length allows three-quarters of
an inch between his big toe and
the tip of the shoe. You can be
certain the width is correct if
the upper leather across the
toes can be huinpped up slight-
ly between your fingers. The
heel fit should be snug, with no
up-and-down slipping as he
walks.
See that Junior tries on both
shoes and walks around the
store in them to check for com-
fort. Sometimes one foot is
slightly larger than the other,
and he should be fitted far the
larger one.
if your wife is quick on the
draw, be wary of a joint bank
account.
