For here is the cream of the crop, players who represent literally millions of dollars spent in recruiting, developing and drilling them into the polished finesse that major hockey requires. But, though the all-star game is now an annual affair, we doubt if it will ever produce such throat -catching drama as developed in the very first of such spectacles. It was on a February night of 1934, in Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, the night of the Ace Bailey benefit game and the first time, we be- lieve, there ever was an all-star hockey battle. A few weeks before, Leafs had played in Boston. What was just another game had suddenly belched forth grim and ,sinister tragedy; conjured up the chill black spectre of death in the evening, death in a hockey game. Eddie Shore, powerful star of the Boston, most -idolized in Boston, most -hated elsewhere, had, from behind, roughly hurled his brawn into Bailey, a slim, fast -skating, hard -shoot- ing right-winger, as Bailey turned from an abortive play, and was moving back. Shore never asked, never gave, any quarter in hockey, He played hockey as Dempsey fought, with an in- born savagery, a burning lust for victory. So, in his own rugged fashion, Shore plunged into Bailey, to shoulder him out of the way. Bailey, off-balance, pitched forward on his face, his head struck the ice with fearful im- pact, he lay there in a suddenly nerveless, inert heap. You can usually tell these major crashes in hockey, and the crowd, the players, instantly sensed that here was injury and damage beyond the ;ordenry. His skull was fractured. For days, it was a toss-up wJ diet" Bailey lived or died. The sp�,t-s< rd turned bitterly against Shore. He was suspended. gue edict, while the mob clamored that. he should be 1aaricestfor life, Others suggested he be jailed- and tried for as,St`'=--: perhaps for murder. The anti -Shore feel- ing was treeenZretis. But Bailey "recovered. And when it was decided to stage an all-star game for his benefit, Shore was one of those select- ed to face Maple Leafs, Before the game Bailey stood in mid - ice, shaking hands one by one with the players who were to perform in his behalf. Finally, it came the turn of Shore, the man whose check, good or bad, had caused all this, the man who had just missed plunging a fellow -player to death. , A crowd sat silent, hushed suddenly by the sheer grippling dra- ma of the situation. You might have thought Shore's head would drop a bit, that he would have faltered or hesitated or glanced about. But he did none of those things. Chin up, eyes clear, he wheeled up to Bailey, stuck out his hand. Bailey shook it warmly. And a sudden roar of pent-up emotion, that burst with the sudden force ofjile Johnstown Hood, shook the great building to the very rafters. That was drama. We doubt if any other all. -star game will ever produce its equal.

Jacques Crapaud, where the numbers "seven" and "elev- en" bulk most important. However, that isn't going to prevent us from handing out a little timely advice, which we borrow holus bolus from one of Canada's greatest and most in- teresting outdoor authorities, Bob Turnbull. Thank you, Robert! * With pheasant and partridge shooting not too far off this is the perfect time to give' some con- sideration to sportsman -farmer relations. Each autumn at pheas- ant time, particularly close to the larger cities, there comes a justi- ,liable holler from rural residents that trigger-happy city ^tickers are peppering stock, farmhouse 'windows and so forth with mis- directed shots. Fences are broken down and gates left open so that cattle and horses often wander away. n' * a; While it is true that only a small hooligan element is respon- sible for such poor sportsmanship the unfortunate thing is that an i z? Where's that Barber? -- This fur- ry pup would like to get hit paws on his barber. Seems he doesn't believe his new hairdo In too fashionable. irate farther is in no mood to dif- ferentiate between good and bad hunters, and who can blame him. So all must suffer. * x Yet the farmer is the key to good shooting, and maintaining it, in rural areas, hard by our cities. So he must be given every consideration and co-operation. ▪ * * While all wild game tecnnlcal- ly belongs to the province, con- trol of most of its habitat is vest- ed in the owner or tenant of the land. The farmer can lock the door to all hunting on his land, or he can, as many do, he ex- ceedingly generous with his hos- pitality, There is an easy approach to the use of the farmer's magic key. This is simply through the use of common courtesy and the (follow- ing 10 commandments are the open sesame to the farmer's fields and coverts: * * 4 1. Always drive into the far- mer's yard end ask permission to hunt, 2, Hunt only in the areas he designates. Stay away tram his stock, 3. Respect his fences. If neces- sary to climb them, do so by a post. Use gates if possible. dos- ing them behind you. 4. Never shoot near houses, barns or livestock. 5. Leave fruit and other crops alone. If you want some, buy it from the farmer. 6. Go around fields where peo- ple are working or pastures where stock is grazing. Don't walk on seeded ground. Don't tramp through standing grain, 7. Shoot crows and predators that do damage to crops, S. Share your game with the farmer. 9, On a subsquent visit, bring his wife or children some: little gift or token of friendship. 10. After you've become well acquainted, suggest a planting program to better game habitat, ,pfjering to finance it or help him with it, thereby showing genuine interest in his affairs. * * * lust remember that the far- mer makes his living from the land that you want to hunt over, so respect it every bit as lmuch. as ,you would the saw or plane you might borrow from a crafts- man in the city. That's all the farmer asks consideration. Do'n' the Turkey Hop --- Tom Turkey sets _a fast pace for pretty Jean Chapman as they stroll clown theoulevard. The premature Thanksgiving "prom" attracted plenty bf mouth-watering atten- tion from sidewalk viewers. A Sew weeks ago we wrote that "judging by the results of the election Rt. Hon. James G. Gardiner, Federal Minister of Agriculture, must have been right when he said in his cam- paign: 'The farmers never had it so good, they are making more money than ever before. There are no surpluses and the British markets are not lost.' " Quick Response This drew a quick response from J. F. Gamble, Secretary of the Ontario Farmers' Union, Chatsworth, Ont., who writes: "Your recent article on tile elec- tion results would tend to start some people scratching their heads as it seems rather ironical to say the least, but farm people apparently do not change easily, even when they are getting a slap in the face. There is a lack of true facts and the need of a better understanding of election planks if we are to 4et any natu- ral results, when today there is little personal contact and - the average voter becoming more disconnected with elections and parties, "We feel there is a great lack of unity among members of la- bour unions and other organiza- tions that aim to improve con- ditions by political action, and until such membership is better educated to methods of achiev- ing their aims, we should not ex- pect too much." . . "The general public is very critical of labour for some of their actions and we are not condemning anyone, but feel there is room for much im- provement in the actions of in- dividuals if labour is to gain the proper spot in the public eye ... The recent strike of the Team- sters Union did not create public appeal." Common Aim Mr. Gamble continues that "it should be the aim of any organi- zation such as labour or farmer to be militant enough to do a good job and still be sufficiently dignified to demand a finer place in the mind of every public minded citizen. It is something we should all aim for as every worlr, whether he is in a fac- tory tor on a farm, should realize that "dive are all in need of a bet- ter f inderstanding and a • more unified aim. In a country with such° possibilities we could show the World what a working peo- ple :can do for themselves.' f; Froclucers: Consumers. We agree with Mr. Gamble as to the necessity of more and bet- ter membership education and believe that public relations of unihihs could be considerably im- pra'ied, This applies to with, la - bog and farmers, who inciden- talla4 realize it and discuss these in two oints at most every conven- tion are is a wide field tui the joint committees established only. a few months ago by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the Ontario Federation of Labour, and also by the Ontario Farmers' Union and the Ontario Federa- tion of Labour. .We heralded these. committees .at the time as hopeful achieve- ments, but have not heard of any of their activities. Not an easy job by any means considering that labour unions like farm marketing associations are profit business organizations with the aim to get at large a share as possible of the price of the finished product for their members. As producers they nave no other choice in a competitive system. There is, however, one plane on which their interests are identical — as consumers. As producers we want to get as much as possible for our prod- uct. As consumers we want to buy it as cheaply as possible. This is the point where the field of co-operation begins.

T; Viandton Two Germans have each given an eye to restore the sight of William Connolly, a Wolver- hampton man who began to go blind three years ago as a result of a' World War 1 mustard -gas attack. This is how it happened. In 1951 a young German walked into a Wolverhamton hospital with a tumor which necessitated the removal of an eye, and he agreed that the cornea should be given to Mr. Connolly. The operation was a great success. Then, by an almost incredible coincidence, a few months ago another German with the same complaint went to the hospital. He also agreed to give the Brit- ish ex -soldier the cornea of his useless eye. Mr. Connolly has never met the two Germans whose eyes have restored his sight, but he hopes that one day he will be able to thank them personally.
