Know Your Hockey Stars
By ED. FITKIN
Gaye Stewart, Left Wing
Not since Harvey Jackson
streaked to stardom in the early
80's has a Toronto left-winger
elicited so much admirable com-
ment as Gay Stewart, the only
Leaf All-Star of the 1915-48 sea-
son.
Tall, dark, good-looking Gaye
topped the N.H.L. in scoring last'
season with 87 goeIs and fin-
ished in second place (behind
Max Bentley) in the points
department. He had 15 assists for
a total of 52 points, 9 less than
Bentley. It was a banner year for
Gal e, despite the failure of the
Leafs to hit the playoffs and even
greater deeds are expected of him
this year.
His team-mates, taking cogniz-
ance of his speed, reached into
Dagwood's territory to nickname
hint "Swish". Gaye combines re-
markable speed with robust aggres-
siveness. He has the frame to
withstand punishing checks as he
bulls his way past obstacles. An
inch shy of the G -foot mark, he
weighs 175 pounds, has big shoul-
ders, slender legs.
Stewart was .born at Fort Wil-
liam, June 28, 1923, His Scottish
parents christened him James Gaye
Stewart. He received skates for
Christmas when he was "six or
seven" and has been using them to
good effect ever since. After star-
ring in midget hockey around Fort
William, Gaye joined Port Arthur
juniors, led the league in scoring
in 1939-40 and then came to To-
ronto. With Marlboro juniors he
tipped the O.H.A, Junior "A"
scoring race, beating out Johnny
Holota in the last league game.
The next season was a historic one
for Gaye and hockey.
He started out with Marlboro
juniors, graduated to Marlboro
seniors, turned pro- with the Leafs,
was sent to Hershey and then
moved up to the Leafs for the
Stanley Cup playoffs. Gaye saw
only six minutes service in the' cup
playoffs — but never before had a
hockey player taken the four maior
steps to stardom (junior, senior,
minor pro and N.H.L.) all in one
season.
In 1942-43, his first and last full
.H.L. season before the war,
Gaye was acclaimed rookie -of -the -
year and received the Calder
Trophy. He also gained the re-
spect of the whole league as a
Modern Methods
Keep Coal -Miring
Twn Clean, Neat
The industrial nerve centre of
the State of Western Australia lies
some 120 miles south of the capital,
Perth. It is the township of Col-
lie, not very big as townships go,
but Collie's 5,000 inhabitants know
that it will eventually become one
of the main factors in the post-
war development of Australia. Al-
ready, Collie has contributed 13,-
000,000 pounds worth of coal to the
economic wealth of Western Aus-
tralia, but to the industrial world
it has contributed greater. I. has
proved that coal mining and un
healthiness are not necessarily in-
separable.
There are no grimy particles
hanging in the air, and there is
a complete absence of unsightly
workings around the town. The
streets are neat, and clean, well
made and well kept. The people
look prosperous. '
Collie owes its immaculate ap-
pearance to the fact that its min-
ing is carried on by the most mo-
dern methods There are seven
alines in the district, two of them
are. worked by the open -curt method
and most of the .others, •although
underground, are completely mech-
anized.

In their spare time, the miners
work their land, some planting
• orchards, others running sheep and
others gradually building up dairy
herds. Each year now thousands
of cases of apples. and pears are
exported to the city markets. a
substantial wool clip is being
steadily increased and outsiders are
buying much of the district's but-
ter, eggs and milk. The result has
been that Collie, essentially a min-
ing town, has also become an im-
portant agricultural centre.
Gr, enlancl Airfield
Negotiations are understood to
be still in progress between the
United States and Denmark for
future American military facilities
in Greenland, and in the meantime
the American installations set tip
there during the war are being
maintained, The United States
also asked Iceland some time ago
for consent to future American
bases there, but Iceland refused to
agree, allowing only a strictly
limited use of an airfield for
American air communications with
the forces of occupation in Ger-
niany,--Tire Economist, London.
rookie to handle with care" as a
result of his now famous alterca-
tion with Jimmy Orlando. Flatten-
ed by an unexpected Orlando punch
during an argument, Gaye got
even later by clouting Jolting Jim-
my on the noggin with his hickory.
Both Stewart and Orlando were
suspended and fined $100.
Stewart scored 24 goals and had
23 assists for 47 points in his first
N.ILL, campaign. He joined the
R.C.N.V.R. in May, 1943, as an
Ordinary Seaman. He served in
Toronto, London, Prince Edward
Island, Sydney, Halifax, Montreal,
Cornwallis and had a three-month
stint at sea with a minesweeper.
He was promoted to Sub -Lieuten-
ant, December, 1943, and became a
Lieutenant in September, 1945.
Stewart is a versatile athlete, ran
as a 100, 220, and 410' track com-
petitor, played fullback and cap-
tained his high school football team
to the North-Western Ontario
school championship and now
plays softball, golf, snooker and
bowling, and swims.
La,t May, wedding bells rang
out for young Mr. Stewart and his
Fort William sweetheart,
In late June, Gaye was stricken
with appendicitis; worked the lat-
ter part of the summer at Conn
Smythe's sandpit to regain his
strength.
Tea With Butter
'When tea was first introduced
in England, a lot of people dis-
liked it intensely. The reason vas,
that though they had heard it
praised they had no idea how it
should be prepared. Having bought
some of the leaves, they boiled
them for about twenty minutes,
strained off the juice and tried to
eat them with salt, pepper and but-
ter. In • many parts of England
people still talk, though as a rule
humorously, of "making a dish of
tea."

Art of Horsetrad n
Flourishes in B.C.
An amusing new version of the
old story about the community
that made its livelihood by taking
in one another's laundry cornea
from New Westminster, It appears
that mettrbers of the B,C. Horse
Breeders Association, far from dis-
couraged by the lessened demand
for horses, have taken to trading
among themselves.
A remarkable series of trans-
actions is related by James Turner,
of South Saanich: "I bought a
horse for $10, improved its condi-
tion, and sold it to another man
for $25. Needing a horse later, I
bought it back for $50. Then the
other fellow offered me $75 for it.
Again I needed it badly so I paid
him $100. Finally I sold the horse
to a third party for $150. My
friend, when he beard of the final
transaction, said, "Why did you
sell that horse to an outsider when
we were making such a good liv-
ing out of it?
Thus is provided heartening evi-
dence that the old art of horse
trading, which helped to build the
West, has not been Iost.
Bread in Tins
Canned bread is being tested by
the United States Army quarter -
casters., They've sent some to
Colorado where they're having
mountain maneuvers and to Alas-
ka. If it holds up it will be sent
to Europe. It's baked in 4 -oz. and
10% -oz. tins which have their in-
sides treated with heat -resisting
enamel. The tins are vacuum seal-
ed on corning out of the oven. The
bread is said to keep its freshness
and flavor.
Canned bread would do away
with baking in a field kitchen dur-
ing action. It would be a boon
to campers and to rural families
who live a way from a store sup-
ply of fresh bread. Why wasn't
canned bread thought up long ago?
