when, ill the most amazing Sport upset
of the 1953 StailJt y Cup series, the power-
ful all-star Detroit Red Wings were hum-
bled, and knocked out of hockey's classic
by the no -stars Boston Bruins.
The legend is that al] prolessional
tnauager;l possess rasping tongues, acid vocabularies,
that they drive their charges mercilessly by torrents of abuse
and threats. it's a legend that has gained through imaginative
fiction, but if it eve was true, and we believe it was correct
only in some isolated instances, it doesn't hold in professional
hockey today. A player may be sharply reprimanded in private
for some misdoing, some breach of training rules, but intel-
ligent analysis and conferences in which coach and manager
submit their plans and discuss these with the players, have
replaced old-fashioned and nut-inoded bullying, if this ever
existed generally.
This legend of managerial abuse was punctured right
in the Detroit Red Wing camp. Jack Adams, former playing
star, who as manager has been one of hockey's greatest build-
ers, is a fighting leader. He is forthright, he is experienced, he
doesn't hesitate to speak his mind. Indeed, he has the repu-
tation, outside his club, of being a hard driver.
Before the second -Last game of the Bruin-kted Wing
series, a game played in Detroit, it was apparent the great
Red Wing machine was grinding its gears. Bruins had already
won three games. Another defeat would put Wings out of
the series. Jack Adams called for a players' conference. There
were those, on the fringe, who thought that the Wing leader
would rant, roar, abuse the players, seek to inspire thele by
threats. But, as it turned out, Adams talked to his players as
a kindly father might talk to a, beloved baby son who had
slightly misbehaved.
As he talked, the Stanley Cup stood in the room with him.
And Adams said, quietly, sincerely: "This Stanley Cup is
yours now. You won it last spring and you know there's fun
in winning it. Every kid in Canada wants his name on it.
You're the greatest team today and your names should be on
it. But a third place team is on the verge of preventing that.
I want you to know that no matter what happens tonight,
you are still my boys and you're the best boys I know on and
off the ice."
No threats, no abuse.. But the psychological appeal of the
quiet Adams' speech was far stronger than any fulminations
could have been, There wasn't a dry eye in the Wing dressing -
room. And Wings went out, fought furiously, won the game,
kept their hopes alive until these were snuffed out by the
driving Bruins in Boston two nights later.
The days of abusive leaders are over in professional
hockey, if they ever existed. In hockey today, the potential
awards are too great, the athletes playing a game that con-
stitutes a career in itself and a springboard to the future are
too aware of these facts to require, or perhaps to tolerate,
the driving, abusive, blustering coach pictured in fiction.

Foverty in Abundance
A short while ago the daily
press reported a petition receiv-
ed by the United Nations in
New York signed by nine mem-
bers of an Indian tribe in South
America.
These nine people, four of
whom had to scrawl their marks
as they did not know how to
write, appealed for milk to feed
their starving children.
The letter was written in
Spanish and addressed to the
U. N. International Children's
Emergency Fund. It said in part:
"The undersigned, all neigh-
bours of this town and unfor-
tunately poor, without any pat-
rimony other than the scanty
product of our own toil, respect-
fully set before you that:
"Lacking the means to give
our children their rightful
vitality, we hasten to beg you
to submit this petition to the
noble institution of the United
Nations, so that our children can
be provided with the precious
benefits — the extra gust of life
— that is supplied in the pow-
dered m ilk and cod liver, oil
which they now lack because of
extreme -poverty."
Prosperity through Scarcity
At the very same time parents
beg for a f e w cents worth of
milk powder for their children,
the largest farm organization of
the country, 'the Canadian Fede-
ration of Agriculture, is serious-
ly .considering the possibilities
of creating prosperity f o r its
Members by controlling and re-
stricting production of food-
stuffs. They carried a resolution
to that effect in their annual
convention last January.
In an editorial "Plan Produc-
tion," published in The Rural
Co-operator of May 12th, 1953,
Mr. V. S. Milburn, Secretary -
Manager of the Ontario Federa-
tion of Agriculture, discusses
"overproduction" and "market-
ing problems" and offers similar
thoughts.
l\lr. Milburn wonders "wheth-
er farm people would be will-
ing, and have sufficient intelli-
gence," to accept advice as to
"the v o l u m es required and
whether they would attempt to
regulate the position of supply
and demand." In other words he
waists to corner the market.
It would be deplorable if Can-
adian farmers did not have "suf-
ficient intelligence" to see
through the hollowness of Lhis
suggestion. If, indeed, the idea
were not propounded in all
seriousness in the official organ
of the leading farm organization
in Ontario by the highest ad-
ministrative officer of this or-
ganization, it would be a waste

of paper and .effort to dis:tiss
at all.
Withoutgoing into details
there are three arguments that
immediately come to •mind.
They are Nature, Organization
and Morality.
The yields of any given com-
modity are to a large extent de-
pendent on the weather over
which man has no control. A
shower at the right time on a
grain field may increase yields
by 10 to 20 per cent. Too much
rain at hay in g time will ad-
versely affect milk producticn in
winter.
To plan production without
any surplus it needs a) so exact
a forecast of future demand that'
we doubt it can be made; b) so
strict a regimentation that we
know Canadians will not accept
it.
Canadian food surpluses —
with the exception of wheat —
are said to vary betwen 6 and
12 per cent. The uncertainty of
nature and the impossibility of
precise gauging of future mark-
ets will prevent any cutting
down of this narrow margin.
The t h i r d, and probably
heaviest, argument against re-
stricted production, are the mor-
al aspects. Two thirds of hu-
manity lay themselves to -sleep
every night on empty stomachs.
The question arises whether we
have the right to curtail the al-
ready inadequate world supply
of food, only because we are not
clever enough to market it
profitably?
There is no problem of over-
production; there is only a
problem of maldistribution.
Farming, like most other busi-
nesses can be profitable only by
producing to capacity, and by
trying to hit a long term high
average. This was easy in war-
time.
Once Canadian tanners begin
to cut down on their production
according to known existing
markets, they will soon find
these markets to shrink and
finally find themselves reduced
to subsistence farming.
Farm surpluses — again with
the exception of wheat — are
such a small par t of over-all
production that it should not be
impossible to market them, be
it in Britain against payment in
Sterling ur anywhere else in a
hungry world as ammunition
against communism.
Mr. Milburn also wonders
"whether the solution to this
problem alight be in our own
hands." It is! But not by the
negative approach of restricted
production,
Let our farm leader's go after
the long promised marketing
legislation which will enable
Canada's farmers to market their
own goods inter -provincially and
internationally. Let them ;cork
out plans for orderly marketing.
The Canadian farmer has
"sufficient, intelligence" to reject
the idea of curtailing produc-
tion, but he is willing "to accept
some discipline" and will give
"a reasonable amount of sym-
pathetic and intelligent sup-
port" to a constructive plan of
distribution.
What be is waiting for is in-
telligent leadership.

Burglars Defeat All
Known Safeguards '
So runs the stag Cling statement
of a special Study Group set up
by the Insurance 1nxtitute to
Lon don.
They trace the endless struggle
between men seeking to protect
their property and thieves trying
to steal it.
That whatever new security
has been devised, the thief has
always beaten it by a newer
ingenuity.
• Locks, bars, bolts, safes—even
bank strong -rooms — have been
labeled the last word in burglar-
proof protection. But all have
given way to the attack of deter-
mined cracksmen.
"Strangely," comments the re-
port of the group, "there have
been few new inventions against
burglaries. Nothing comparable
to the combustion engine and
flying machine in other fields.
Current devices are largely mere
improvements on old ideas. The
banker's strong -room, a master-
piece of anti -theft, is only little
more than a stone -walled room
with a metal door."
These devices are made more
'complicated, not to defeat the
skilled cracksman, but only to
make him spend a longer time
breaking them down. Something
he cannot always afford.
Taking a Tip
So the .ingenous thief takes a
tip from science. Using a pneu-
matic drill, he smashes his way
through a wall, breaks down the
concrete around the safe, and
removes the unopened safe to
where he can work on it at his
leisure.
The Study Group of the In-
surance Institute give this and
-other instances. One gang of
crooks made use of a power -
operated grab to wrench away
a protective grille from its con-
crete setting. They have used
vehicle -operated battering-rams
against gates and doors.
What are the police — and
nightwatchmen — doing all this
time, you may ask? The Study
Group have delved into the
answers. The police try to pre-
vent crime, Their actions lead

to the punishment of wrong-
doer's. From the insurance men's
point of view, the o b j e c t of
security for property is to pre-
vent loss of goods. A different
matter.
Since the end of the war bur-
glary has increased sharply. So
has the d a r ing and skill of
crook s. Elaborate protections
which take time to defeat are
costly—and that is the biggest
barrier to their adoption. And did
you know that the strict rules
governing fire safety often makes
it easier for burglars to break-in?
Section 36 of the Factories Act
states that precautions are ap-
plicable "whilst any person is
within a factory for the purpose
of employment or meals." Right-
ly so. But insurance men feel
these rulings should be relaxed
when the building is closed as
anti -burglary assistance to gen-
eral precautions. How of t en
thieves step in by way of fire -
escapes.
More Light
Are there, then, no protections?
Certainly n o thing absolutely
crime -proof. The Study Group
commend light, for there are less
break-ins in well -lit places and
summer evenings. Insurance com-
panies favour steel bolts because
of their strength, but they con-
sider lock and door should be of
equal strength. Neither audible
nor inaudible alarms prevent
crimes. Ringing bells are said to
alarm burglars, yet damage is
done to goods even when silent
systems automatically call the
police.
The ideal of insurance is to
keep crooks out. The most pro-
mising devices are electronic,
already used to guard secret sec-
tions of research stations and
service airfields. These unseen,
unheard alarms connected to the
police operate indoors and across
open spaces. Any movement in
their area sets them into action.
So crooks can be caught, but
"Marc use should be made of
television as a method of spread-
ing anti-crime propaganda." says
the report of the Study Group.
Yet still the major problem is
unsolved—you cannot keep the
better burglars away.
