el It was l0 years ago, around two o'clock
on the morning of .Aril 4, 1933, that the
smallest player in nmodern National Hock-
ey' League history, darted past the big
defensive out -posts, and whistled home
the goal that ended the longest game
played. in organized hockey up to that
tune—a 1-0 victory for Toronto Leafs, over Boston Bruins in
a Stanley Cup play -down 'series final, after 106 minutes, 46
seconds of extra time, with the .sixth overtire period under •
-
way.
There has since been one longer game, -the epic 1-0 battle
between Montreal Maroons and Detroit Red Wings, that lasted
until 2.25 o'clock on the morning of March 25, 1936, when the
teams battled 116 minutes 30 seconds of overtime before the
Red Wings won. But for sheer drama, for a story -book finish
that no Hollywood script writer could excel, that long 1.933
struggle packed the most spine -tingling finish of any such
marathon duel, in any sport.
For tiny Doraty, who stood little more than 5 feet 6 inches
in height, carried only 132 pounds on his diminutive frame,
the smallest player in the League, was the pygmy who broke
up the battle.
Dozens of scoring thrusts had failed to pierce the armour
of Tiny Thompson in the Boston nets, and dozens more had
been foiled by Lorne Chabot,. Toronto custodian when lanky
Andy Blair teamed with the tiny Doraty to post the game's
only goal.
The sixth overtime period had barely started when .Blair
was sent to pay• special attention to the great Eddie Shore,
pivot of the Bruin offensive corps. The former University of
Manitoba star checked the great defenceman twice as he
tried to break away. On his. third attempt Shore batted the
puck ahead of him—right on Blair's stick.
In two long strides Andy crossed the blue -line into Bruin
territory. He sidestepped Shore, and as the Boston rearguard
swung around to jab at the puck, Blair shot it ahead to Doraty,
streaking for the net. The winger nailed it in his stride and
skated in on Thompson to fire into a corner of the net.
Varied proposals to end the game after 100 minutes over-
time had been played failed. The players were so tired and
attacks lacked steam to a degree when President Frank Calder
of the N.H.L. asked managers Art Ross of Boston and Conny
Smythe of Toronto to flip a coin and decide the issue. Both
refused. Then Calder suggested the goal -tenders be taken out
of the game to facilitate scoring the winning goal. The inane -
gees couldn't see that idea.
"To a finish" was finally ruled. And the finish cable with
dramatic impact just four minutes and 46 seconds after re-
sumption of play.

..Plain Horse sense..

Lost Battle
The battle of vegetable oils is
over. The farmers have lost it.
Bill 142 got third reading and
is now law. It had not been
before the Agricultural. Commit-
tee of the Legislature, probably
to avoid any further discussions
or representations by consumers,
producers or the edible oil in-
terests.
The bill permits the manufac-
ture of dairy product imita-
tions from edible oils, as long
as no milk or milk products tre
used in the manufacture. Ac-
eordin:g to the Minister of High-
ways, acting for the Minister of
Agriculture, this is the way the
farmers wanted it.
Which Way "Such"?
When Mr. Doucett introduced
the bill, he quoted from the
brief presented by the farm or-
ganizations, that "dairy farmers
definitely want legislation ban-
ning vegetable oils being blend-
ed with any dairy product and
a ban on the manufacture and
sale of any SUCH product mar-
keted as an imitation of fluid
milk, cheese, ice cream, cream
and concentrated milk prod-
ucts."
From the brief, as it is report-
ed in The Rural Co-operator,
however, the word SUCH is
Rall Stealer --Leaping high over
the restraining arm of Ralph
Greco, Al De Porter steals the
basketball,
missing.. Without it. the ,quoted
paragraph would mean. that the,
farmers had asked for a com-
plete ban of all imitations of
dairy products.
What happened to SUCH? Did
it creep into the brief on the
way to Queen's Park or did it
get lost on the way home? Who
is kidding whom?
11rot, no Cream?
One tiling is sure. The bill is
not going to "put the cream back
into creampuffs," as it is sup-
posed to do. On the contrary, it
will take out the •little milk that
had been used in the ersatz
stuff.
Manufacturers are now mak-
ing it without any milk product
in it and milk producers have
lost another s m all outlet for
some of their surplus.
More and . more markets are
being closed to Canadian' dairy
farmers. The U. S. Secretary of
Agriculture recently banned the
importation of dried milk pow-
der. Butter had been banned be-
fore. Now the American dairy
industry is asking for a com-
plete ban on the importation of
all dairy products.
So Young a Body . .
The one farm organization
which did take a definite stand
and offered Constructive ideas
was the Ontario Farmers' Union.
In their presentation submitted
to the Ontario government in
the last days of March they ask-
ed for a Royal Commission to
investigate the effects the intro'
—clued= of daily substitutes
would have on the whole com-
inunity, with special regard to
food values; soil conservation
and "tile price and capital struc-
ture of agriculture and the in•
dustries related to and dealing
with agriculture."
They also asked for a complete
bait on all imitations of dairy
products whether they were
made with or without mills or
milk products, until the results
of the investigation were known.
In their letter they said that
the union was ,yotmg, "but the
fact that it has sprung up out
of a meeting of only 17 farmers
and in less than one year has
grown to an organization corn
prising 40 locals with 2,500 mein•
bers in six counties, proves that
the farmers `of Ontario want an
organization in which they hoid
direct individual membership."
More power to them.

gestions, wise or foolish, and all

It won't be long now -- May
2nd: to be. exact—till millions of
folks who never attended a race
track in their lives will be all
het -up and excited over the out-
come of a contest between
Thoroughbreds. We refer, of
course, to the Kentucky Derby,
not by any. means the greatest of
all horse -races, but undoubtedly
the best -ballyhooed. And, unless
something happens to him • be-
tween now and then, the major
ity of those folks will be ex-
pecting something to happen
which never did before—a gray
horse to come down in front. •
z '1
The gray steed referred to is,
naturally, Native Dancer, owned
by Alfred G. Vanderbilt, who
needs the 100 grand or so, the
winning will bring hint about as
much as we need a few more
creditors.
Still, for all his wealth and
despite the time, Money and
thought • he has put into horse- -
breeding, Mr. Vanderbilt has
never yet won the Kentucky
event so that, should Native
Dancer turn the trick, it will
make a pair of firsts.
„
Back in 1934 Mr. V.— and a
whole lot more of us, to our
sorrow—thought that Discovery
could take it all.. But he couldn't
quite make it. After pulling into
a two length lead coning through
the stretch, Discovery found that
Cavalcade had a little too nuich
of what it takes, and finished a
well beaten second..
On his last year's form, Native
Dancer would appear to be a
cinch, • In nine starts he was un-
beaten — the first unbeaten
juvenile champion since Pavot
in 1944. (Even Man O'War and
Citation had one black mark
each in their opening seasons).
And Native Dancer did his win-
ning so easily that he appeared
to be in a class by himself. He
won on muddy as well as fast -
going. He equaled the world
record of 1.14-2/5 for 61/2 fur-.
longs in copping the Belmont
Futurity, and in a race at a little
over a mile at Jamaica looked as -
if he could go on. without trouble.
t ,
Still, this is not to be taken
as advice to go mortgage the
family woodshed and put it all
on Native Dancer. Lots of those
two-year-old "phenoms" have hit
turf investors in their tenderest
spots — the pocketbook — in the
past, and what has happened be-
fore can happen again. Native
Dancer, though he looks like a
standout, is by no means home
free.
There's the matter of distance,
for one thing. Native Dancer's
longest race as a two-year old
was at a mile and a• sixteenth.
The difference between that and
the Kentucky Derby route is a
mere 330 yards. But those 330
yards can look like a Marathon
trip to a horse when the going
is tough—and gray horses have
always been noted for speed
rather than staying power. Native
Dancer's daddy, Polynesian, was
the champion sprinter of his day,
and he has 'undoubtedly handed
down plenty of that speed to
his son. But, along with that
speed did Native Dancer in-
herit enough "stickuln" to carry
that speed—or a sufficient por-
tion of it --for ten furlongs?
*
Kentucky Derby history is
chockfu.] of instances of sprinter'
sired whizzes who looked like
winners until they reached that
home -stretch. To this argument
the.. Native Dancer supporters
answer by pointing out that the
gray flash was "going away" from
his opposition at the finish "of
nearly all his nine races during
1951.
* r it
So, genteel reader, once again
"you pays your money and you
takes .your choice". We're not ad-
vising you to wager on Native
Dancer, nor are we telling you
to bet against him. As a natter
of fact—why DO we keep for'
getting such a thing -.-since the
• racing situation was purified in
- Ontario, you WOULDN'T BE
ABLE to make a bet on him un-
less you were personally present
at Churchill Downs. And if you
DO happen to be there, we'll give
you a couple or three sure things
that you CAN bet on with tine
utmost confidence.
:1: e
ONE; that you'll be sick it
hearing the strains of "My Old
Kentucky Horne" long before the
day is over. TWO; that the deep-
est and syru'piest "you -all" ac-
cents come from people who
never before were farther south
than South Chicago, and, THREE;
that you'll disrov'er that the far -
famed Mint Julep is the nearest
thing, in most instances, to a
non-alcoholic beverage of any-
thing not sold as a soft drink,
rx :1. a
And, in conclusion, we would
just like to congratulate Ralph
' Allen, of MacLean's Magazine, on
an extremely interesting and
well-written account of the "fixed
races" scandal which so shocked
Ontario turf lovers so badly a
Couple of years back. The only
thing that puzzled us was his
referring to the Fort. Erie track
as a half -mile affair. Gee, the
blame thing must have shrunk
since last we battled with it! '
Only 4 Years Old But
Lusty And Growing
By Peter Grable
OTTAWA — A child with 14
parents celebrated its fourth
birthday April 4, preening itself
-on a formidable record in doing
What every parent: wishes every
child would do — keep the peace.
The North Atlantic Treaty Or-
ganization was born on April 4,
-1949, and it already is credited
With hurdling the year — 1952
— Western statesmen marked
with trepidation as the year of
supreme crisis when They found-'
ed it.
' This unique international ex-
periment — unique because it
is an experiment both in collec-
tive security and in collective de-
velopment — has come a long
way in those four years and in
the six 'ears since Canada's
Prime Minister St. Laurent
placed the first embryo vision of
'its possibilities before free- 'men
in 1947. •
But less than three weeks after
the birthday, NATO'S council
• will meet in Paris to chart the
next stage, the program for 1953,
in the drive for firm security.
The NATO child has not yet
mastered his craft. He still has a
long way to go.
It is Mr. St. Laurent Who is
widely credited with fathering
the concept of NATO, a concept
now so broadly accepted among
Canadians that it tends to ob-
scure the profound • change in
•the nation's pre-war no -commit-
ments outlook it represents
• In 1947, torn and saddened as
he sat among the hostilities of
the U.N. General Assembly as
Canadian Minister of External
Affairs, he arose one day tc utter
this •statement that is likely to
live long after he is gone
"Nations, in their search for
peace and co-operation will not,
and cannot, accept indefinitely
and unaltered a council which
was set up to ensure their se-
curity and which, so manv !'eel,
has become frozen in futility and
divided by discussion. If forced,
they may seek greater satety in
an association of democratic and
peace -loving states willing to ac-
cept more specific intone tonal
obligations in return for a great-
er measure of national security.'
It may become the nassage
Canadian history chooses, above
all others, to associate with IVIr,
St. Laurent's name. Two years
later his prophecy was fulfilled.
In the election campaign c'i that
year, 1949, he chose as his cent-
ral theme the hope and the as-
,: piration embodied in NATO.
Here at last, he preached b. ham-
let, town' and city, is a founda-
• 'tion on which peace can build
Here is hope for peace,
A -few weeks ago in Torceito 1•le
•brought his vision up - to - elate
• with this sober caution;
"What we need to be concern
'ed about is to prevent false con-
Hence that the denger of Com-
munist aggression has receded
enough that we can afford to re-
lax. 1: believe the danger has re-
ceded SOPIEw hat but it has re-
ceded olnl• because . the free
world ap:S ars to mean business.
and, if we- are to be secure, we
must continue to mean business.
This is Mr. St. Laurent's theme
for 1953. It also is the theme
that will background April's
meeting of the 14 -nation NATO
council in Paris in Realizing,
plans, already well matured, for
what is to be done this veer.
