• It is inevitable when the super -stars
of hockey meet in the annual all-star
game, that there will be thrills and dra-
ma. 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.

Of recent years our personal
lashing has been pretty much
confined to the kind where you
have an order of chips on the
side; and our shooting largely of
the variety named after the late
Mons. 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

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.

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.

Germy is Gave Eyes.
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.
