It comes in -assorted • wrappings, some in gaudy covering, with glittering ribbons, some modestly reserved, - Some courage is physical. The Iate George Haincworth, Shut Out King of his day, played an entire game for Canadiens one one night with blood dripping slowly down his sweater front. His -nose had been broken by a practise shot just before the game started, Ching Johnson played for Rangers with a broken jaw, partially protected by a steel cage that covered his head and face. Eddie Shore played with one ear dangling, his nose broker!, teeth hnec--ed out. Sonie courage is mental. 'There's the player afflicted with an inferiority complex. who rallies his faltering courage and fights not only the opposition, but his own fears and uncertain- ties. There's the player who carries on in the tace of heart- breaking family tragedy. And all these constitute courage. But you can't measure physical courage and hardihood as against the less -spectacular but equally gallant omental courage. So we're nut going to say that a little fellow named Gerry McNeil, who guards the nets for Canadiens in the National Hockey League is the most courageous athlete of the month or year. 'l'1 -ere may he scores of other lads who faced situations iust as bleak, and rule across the harriers just as gallantly. Vve're not making comparisons. \s'e're merely here to record what we thought was a throat -catching bit of sports heroism, of the quiet fortilnde that is the stamp of true valor. 11cNeil is a sentimental boy. He is an only child. His mother had been ill for a long time, her death was a certainty, a mere matter of time. This is a plight calculated to unnerve the stoutest morale. But game after game, McNeil played, and played well, despite the shadowy specie of death hovering nearby. The blow came one night just as Canadiens were starting for a two -game road trip, in Detroit and Chicago in turn. But McNeil, sadly shaken by the news, even though not unexpected, refused to leave the team. His face actually tear -stained, he played in Detroit, put up a fine game and Canadiens won. The team went on to Chizago. There he played brilliantly, though in between periods he couldn't keep back the tears. But he scored a shut -out. He arrived back in time to reach Quebec City and be present at his mother's funeral, a trying ordeal in itself. There was a game in Montreal that very night against Toronto Leafs The club management feeling that McNeil deserved a rest to recover poise. offered to get a replacement. But McNeil declined, "The rep:a;entent night be better than me, hut it might upset the team when we're going well,' he said. "T'll play." And play he did. His mates fought savagely to protect McNeil. Only 15 shots were thrown at him, though Leafs boast the second-best scoring line the League, the Kennedy -Sloan - Smith combine. Canadiens won, 3-1. And when the game was over, it wasn't around the goal scorers that the players gathered. It was around McNeil, shaking his hand, and pounding him on the hack, a tribute to courage, to a trouper who had most gallantly upheld the ancient slogan of sport and the theatre. The Show Must Go On. Your comments and suggestions for this coh•mn wild tie welcomed by Elmer Ferguson, c%o Calvert House, 431 Yonge St., Toronto. dLvet DISTILLERS LI!\iITI;D A,v,HEit5TBURG, OtdTARIO The Arctic Isn't As Cold As You Think :Mention the Arctic, and what do you think of?' An immense stretch of barren land, shrouded: in silence and deep in the snows of ever- lasting winter? Probably, for that is the popular conception. But in reality the Arctic is a friendly land, teeming with life and sound. One northern territory, Greenland, is covered with glaciers, and from it the rest of the Arctic has been drawn by comparison. The geography of Greenland puts it in an entirely different class from the rest of the Arctic, for farther north a sea of comparative- ly warm water underlies the polar ice and forms a natural radiator which prevents the temperature falling too low. An explorer named Mecham discovered an island five hundred miles north of the Artie Circle. Here he reported stumbling across green fields which reminded him of English meadows. Peary (the first man to reach the North Pole), descending from the inland ice to the coast, found musk oxen grazing in green and flowered meadows amid the song of birds and hum of bees. This may give some idea of the fife existing in the far North Herds of caribou and wolves roam the Arctic grasslands. i here are the white and blue polar foxes, the lemmings, owls, geese, swans, and cranes. One American geographer, named Ekblaw ,gathered over a hundred species of flowering plants, in' a small area's'h hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle. They in- cluded such common plants as poppy, heather, sedge, bluebells, dandelions; and mushrooms. And what -of the snow? The average snowfall of the Arctic is less than that of Scotland, and what there is generally disappears rapidly. As far as the popular concept of intense cold is concerned, Canada established an observatory on an Mand two hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle to disprove this. Here, the lowest temperature ever recorded was 54 degrees below zero. This is not cold when com- pared to parts of the United States, where the thermometer regularly goes below 60 degrees in winter. There is no lack of summer heat, either. Stefansson, the explorer, re- cords a summer spent 75 miles north of the Arctic Circle, when for six weeks the temperature rose to 90 degrees F. nearly every day. Nor did the temperature fall at night, for in that region the sun did not set for weeks on end. "All my party agreed," he wrote later, "that we had never suffered as much from cold as we did from beat that semmer." Gains For Communists Most Canadian labor unions are presently beating themselves proudly on the chest and proclaiming what great things they have wrought in kicking out the Communists. True, there has been some good sanitation work done in getting Red -liners out of policy-making positions in the CCL and TLC. But in many union situations Red -litters, active and expert in union meetings and in resolution writing, continue to be extremely influential even in some unions which claim to be house -cleaned. -They still control many, some in our tnost itnportant industries. Furthermore, there have recently been some stocking examples of non-Communist labor leaders making speeches which are as straight "party line" as if they had been written in Moscow. George hurt of the Auto Workers, for instance, recently demanded a trek to Ottawa. Here is one of Canada's powerful anti-Communist labor leaders urging a totally irresponsible hare -brained scheme which is borrowed direct front the Communist book of rules for agitation, Somebody else detnands a general strike, another mad scheme, borrowed bolus -bolus from the Communists, and one which serves only the Communist cause, never that of the worker. Others declare that business and government are deliberately plot - total nonsense snitched from the Communist bag of propaganda tricks! Obviously Liminess prospers most and government collects mast taxes frig Ellemployment to smash unions and bring wages down, Again. when spending power of the populace is good. The rank and file unionist in Canada is not a Communist, not a "Socialist, (as recent elections have abundantly proven) nor a class warfare Pan. He thinks and feels, has about the same wants for himself and his children as. the rest of the non-union members on his street and in his church. People like £curt who profess to be serving the union movement, Would be wise to stop borrowing from the Communist propaganda ' arsenal. Only the Communists gain by counsels of irresponsibility and Anarchy. ---From The Mancini Post, i tl "Don't You Dare!"—Rogue: Donahue seems to brace himself for a boost over the ropes cis Johnny De Fazio cocks a menacing right hand during their eight round fight.

The following tips on the subject, passed out by the Toronto Better Business Bureau, might save some of our readers considerable money, 'to say nothing of grief. (1) Patronize a reputable'dealer, don't buy in a hurry; purchase a ear only in daylight. (2) Do not pay attentiori,. to the recorded mileage. Look for wear and tear on the upholstery, which is quite often the best guide to mileage and care. Pads on the clutch, brake or accelerator also are pretty good indicators. It '- takes about 6,000 )piles lo'wear these pads through. (3) Drive the motor about- half an hour until the motor is hot. Watch the oil gauge on the, dash- board. If the pressure is loiv'when you go along about 25 miles an hour. the bearings may be' worn or loose - (4) Listen for noises in the, gear box 'and at the rear end whef'e the drive shaft connects up wtiti`'` the back axle- Noise may nieatlgd)^t1 o'parts.t. w rn (5) Test the car on a steejs`. hill. Also try pushing down and letting up the accelerator quickly. This will show motion in the clutch, trans- mission, etc. (6) After the road test swich off the motor and run your hand over the radiator in front of the fan. If there are cool spots on it,* it's a good 'indication that there will be radiator trouble ahead. (7) If there are more than a couple of inches play in the steering wheel when you turn it with . the finger tips it indicates that the steering mechanism is worn. or loose. (8) Don't buy a car which is out of line. Check to see that the real wheels follow the same track as, the trout ones when the car is moving in a straight line,' (9) Watch hydraulic brakes -it the brake pedal gradually oozes down to the floor board when you. step on it firmly, it is a sign of trouble in the master cylinder or those at the wheels. Before you sign a contract to purchase, get the following facts: 1. Adequate description of the A sed Car car (name, type, motor number, serial number, and year if definitely known) and any ac- cessories scessories to be included. 2. The cash price. 3. The down payment. 4. A description of the property to be traded in, if any, and the trade allowance therefor. 5. Other credit allowances, if any 6. The difference between the cash price and the aggregate of the' down payment and allowances. 7. Description of policy of insur- ance. 8. The amount of the finance charges. 9. Total amount to be financed. 10. The number of installment pay- ments. Do not sign a contract to pur- chase a car if you cannot afford to do so. A deposit is generally con- sideration for a binding contract. East Versus West For Curling Honors �, Arrangements have.._..hee.tt_. Cern... pieted for curling • playoffs 10 the Maritime provinces and Newfound- land, according to officials in .. charge of arrangements for the Canadian playdowns, which are scheduled for Winnipeg March 3 to 7. Last year Don Oyler's amazing rink from Kentville, Nova Scotia, swept through five days of stiff competition without defeat to bring the Maritimes their second Do- minion Championship since com- petition for the Macdonald's Brier Tankard was inaugurated in 1927. In that year a rink skipped by the late Professor Murray lMIacneill of Dalhousie University was success• ful in copping the title. Since then, Western rinks have dominated the competition, although in recent years teams from Eastern Canada have been making things tougher every time out. This year the I11aritimer, Pr.' de termined to demonstrate that Oyl- er's victory was no fluke and some exceptionally strong quartets will be vying for the right to travel to Winnipeg, Tong regarded as the stronghold of Canada's' finest curl- ers. 4f/�').'rfj'i7 1fQUft IIiKETS FUA$RC�THE, pEAR'S M,L`h,tyOp* ,r EXCITING „k. c UW el o Sr a STAGE ,010 fSEUM, TiORONTO FRI MAR. 14thnf/p to Ski.
