When hockey's greatest scoring ma-
chine, Maurice "Rocket" Richard of the
Montreal Canadians whipped home his
400th League goal, he set a record that
may never be equalled.
A little chap named Guy Rousseau,
who plays junior hockey for Quebec
Frontenacs, came up to Canadiens on a three -game trial A
mere 19 -year-old kid who, playing his first game with Can-
adians on foreign ice, and his second in the National Hockey
League, it was Rousseau who slipped Richard the workman-
like pass off which he scored the big goal with a lightning
sweep of his stick in- the third period of a game a at Chicago
on December 18 last.
, When the team left Montreal, Chicago -bound, Coach
Dick Irvin said to Richard: "I want you to look after this
little fellow Rousseau. I'm going to put him in to room with
you. He's fast and ambitious, but he's shy, and it will help
his complexes if he's with you." Richard put an arm around
the little fellow's shoulder and said: "You're with me, kid."
Rousseau's eyes fairly popped otit at this sudden intimacy
with a hockey great. A broad grin of sheer joy split his
features. He and Richard palled around together, an oddly -
assorted pair of buddies, from that time on.
Irvin started Rousseau on the Richard-Mosdel line and
kept him there much of the game. And in the third period,
he flipped a smooth pass to Richard, who was skating .behind
him, and like a flash, Richard blasted the puck deep into the
Chicago nets.
After the goal was scored, Canadien players hoisted
Richard high on their shoulders. They planned to carry him
on a complete circuit of the rink. But Richard didn't want
that at all, and the players let him down.
"If I had scored that goal in..Detroit or Toronto or Mon-
treal, I wouldn't mind the boys carrying me around," said
Richard later. "But it didn't mean much, scoring it against
the tail -end team, and I didn't like the parade ideaat all. It
seemed like rubbing it in."
This, we thought, was nice sporting sentiment. But
Richard, noted as a fierce and fiery competitor, has made
similar gestures before and since.
Not long ago, Richard and other Canadiens went to Ste.
Anne's Hospital near Montreal to play in a softball game for
wounded war veterans. They visited the wards afterwards.
Many of the patients, asked for Rocket's autograph. One
who had his legs in a cast was particularly insistent. He had
been badly wounded and his broken leg hadn't healed.
Richard obliged, then asked for his. "I should be asking
you who have done so much more than I," said Richard,
quietly.
The sporting circle of, the .400 -goals feat was completed
when, after the Canadien club presented Richard with $2,000,
he promptly turned the complete amount over to two Mon-
treal hospitals.

. PLAIN HORSE SENSE..
By F. (BOB). VON PILIS
Following up on a New
Year's resolution to bring order
into our filing system, we found
this story taken from The Week,
May 17, 1933:
Unprecedented and widely
significant is a case, just com-
ing before the. Austrian courts,
arising, out ofthe alarm of the
Austrian National Bank over
the financial. revolution which
has brought prosperity to the
little Austrian town of Worgl,
and which the bank fears is
going to compete with its own -
monopoly powers.
Worgl had been moving rap-
idly to bankruptcy since the be-
ginning of the crisis, Its factor-
ies closed down one after an-
other and unemployment rose
daily. Nobody did any business
and scarcely anybody paid any
taxes. Then Unterguggenberger,
Burgomaster of Worgl, propos-
ed the following plan which was
adopted.
The town authorities issued
to the value of 30,000 Austrian
Schilling notes in denomina-
tions of one, five and ten Schil-
ling which were called tickets
for services rendered. The spec-
ial feel .0.:e of these notes was
the fact that they decreased in
value by one per cent every
month,
.Anyone holding one of these
notes at the end of the month
had to buy from the local au-
thorities a stamp of sufficient
value to bring the note up to
face value. This he affixed to
the back of the note, and the
BOOK A -HEAD --- This intriguing

test. The tail cone of imitation
hair is trimmed with rhinestones
and tear rip pearls.
proceeds of the stamp went to
the poor relief fund.
The result was that the notes
circulated with unheard of
rapidity. They were first used
for the payment of wages for
the building of streets,drainage
and other public works by men
who would otherwise been un-
employed. On the day when the
new notes were used eighteen.
hundred schilling worth were
paid out.
The recipients immediately
hurried with them to the shops,
and the shopkeepers and mer-
chants hastened to use them for
the payment of their tax to the
municipality. The municipality
immediately' used them to .pay
the bills. Within 24 hours of be-
ing •issued the greater part of
this money had already been
passed on its way again. During
the first month, the money had
made the complete, circuit no
less than 20 times.
There was no possibility of
anyone avoiding the one per
cent stamp tax on any note he
happened to hold at the end of
the month, since without a
stamp to bring it up to face
value, the note lost its entire
value.
Within the firstfour months
after the issue of the new mon-
ey, the town had accomplished
public works to the value of
100,000 schillings, A large pro-
portion of tax arrears had al-
ready been paid off and there
were even cases of people pay-
ing taxes in advance,
Receipts of back taxes were
eight times greater than in the
past before the introduction of
new money. Unemployment is
now reduced enormously, the
shopkeepers are prosperous.
The fame of the Worgl mir-
acle spread. Irving Fisher,
American economist, sent a
commission of enquiry to Wor-
gl, and the system has been in-
troduced in a score or, more of
American townships.
The Austrian National Bank
however was highly disturbed
by the whole proceeding. Now
Dnterguggen1erger' is being
brought before the courts to ex-
plain- himself and his plan.
This is the press report. Noth-
ing could be found about the
outcome of thecourt proceed-
ings or the results of the Amer-
ican
experiments with the Wor-
gl system.

ism, constructive or destruc-
tive, and suggestions, wise or
otherwise, it will endeavour to

cket" Always
Seems T. Mss
Maurice. (Rocket) Richard,
greatest goal -scorer in the his-
tory of the National Hockey
League—yet he has never won
the league's individual scoring
championship,
Further than that. This man
who has outdistanced all others
in the most vital of departments
in any sport — scoring—has had
to settle for second place on the
NHL all-star team the past four
seasons.
It has been recorded that Toe
Blake, Richard's teammate on
the Montreal Canadiens' famous
"Punch Line" of Blake-Lach-
Richard, once said of The
Rocket:
"Maurice lives to score goals!"
Truly the explosive Richard
is an intense, fiery athlete whose
pride of performance drives him
to keep up his tremendous scor-
ing pace. Hockey players are
normally slow to unwind from
the speed andexcitement of a
game, It helps explain in part
the more than $1,000 The
Rocket has had to pay in Hines
over the years.
But back to the scoring. In his
12 -plus seasons in the National
Hockey League, The Rocket has
poured more than 400 goals past
rival netneinders.
The almost unbelievable No.
400 came last Dec. 18 in a game
at Chicago. You get an idea of
the stature of Richard's feats
from the fact that only one
other player in hockey history
has ,passed the 300 -goal mark.
Nels Stewart of the old Mon-
treal and ,Roston teams had 324,
Yet because the scoring title
is based on goals and assists ---
one point each ..... Richard has
never w on that individual
honor.
During the yearshe has been
in the league that, honor has
gone to Doug Bentley of Chi-
cago, Montreal linemate Elmer
Lech (twice), Herbie Cain of
Boston, Max Bentley of Chicago
(twice), Roy Conacher of Chi-
cago, Ted Lindsay of Detroit and
Gordie Howe of Detroit.
Howe has won the title the
last four years and also the Hart
Trophy as the league's most
valuable player, in 1952 and
1953. This goes a long way to-
ward explaining why Richard
has not been on the NHL all-
star team since 1950 Both Howe
and Richard are right wingers.
Now Comes Boom Boom
A further look at the right
wing situation unveils one Boom
Boom Geoffrion — teammate of
Richard's at Montreal who this
year has been setting a goals -
scored and total points pace well
ahead of both Richard and
Howe. The way the youthful
Boomer is playing he may push
both Richard and Howe off the
all-star team.
Over the last few years Howe
has been setting a more blis-
tering goals -scored ' pace against
rival goalies than the veteran
Rocket — with Geoffrion not far
behind. There may even come
a time when they, along with
a player such as Detroit's Ted
Lindsay, also will join the ex-
clusive 300 -goal circle.
-- Perhaps . Howe and Geoffrion
will some day even challenge
Rocket's "400" pinnacle.
But such an eventuality is still
a lot of ice away. Richard is
there and he made it in specta-
cular, explosive fashion. With
or without an official league
"scoring" title he is still The
Rocket — unchallenged "home
run hitter" of hockey.

A Real Service
To All Motorists
In the next few weeks, from
a little upstairs workshop in
Toronto, will go 1,320,700 minia-
ture car license key tags to the
car owners of Ontario.
Nineteen war amps, all of
them minus at least one limb,
have made the key tags, In the
past nine years 10,500,000 minia-
ture key tags have been made
for Canadian car owners by
War Amps.
Allthe profit from the sale of
the miniature key tags goes to
the War Amputations Distribu-
tion and Benevolent Committee.
In nine years the net earnings
of the War Amps Key Tag Serv-
ice has been $207,844, Nearly
200,000 man hours' employment
has been given to an average of
19 war amps, full-time.
Every 36 minutes in "the nine
years the War Amps office has
returned one set of lost car keys
to its. owner.
That's the whole idea of the
Key Tag Service. The owner
fastens the miniature key tag to
his car keys. If he loses them,
they are mailed to the War
Amps Office. There a record is
kept of every car owner's name
and address and car license
number.
In addition to restoring lost
car keys to their owners, the
key tag service also keeps war
amps usefully employed, and all
the profits aid war amps groups
across Canada,
In 1953, the Key Tag Service
transferred to the Benevolent
Committee, $15,996. In 1954,
$38,104.
This year over two million
key tags will be distributed,
