be many a year before thej records
established by- our Old Men of Man-,

of them ever are equalled. /
That grand1 old forward line of
Bill Cook, Frank Boucher and Bun
Cook was recently broken up—after
this trio had* operated as a unit
since the Rangers were, organized
back in .1926.. Nine and half seasons
thb" Freres Cook and Boucher had
furicJioned together —- the . longest
stretch in the annals of hotkey that
any combination had remained in
tact. And, over this stretchr-Ql’ Bill,
Frank and. Bun piled up a total of
■ 1,081 points, in goals and. assists,'
in lieague and playoff competition..
No other line ever has been within
shouting distance df the l>000-p°int
mark. ,

run his string well beyond the 500-

Another record, hung up by the
team as a<i -whole, is that of never

Ripley fans, neayly $80. worth of.
them, are still chattering about the

game, as , the' score would indicate,

little, although 3 Redmen drew min

, . that JUpr^ay Murdoch of the-Rangers
was born in Lucknow and the follow
ing thumb hail sketch is of interest:
Born in Lucknow, Ont. Played his
first hockey as Captain of University
of, Manitoba junior champions of.
the world in ’23. Joined Winnipeg
‘Maroons* of Central Hockey League
in '24. Played with ‘Maroons’ until
. > signed by ‘Rangers’ in *26. For the
last nine 'seasons, ‘Mudhooks’ has
been the outstanding relief-man of
the Garden Horsemen, playing all
positions on the forwM^d line and
accounting for his share of goals
and assists through each year'; This
‘Iron Man’ of hockey hasn’t missed
a game since ’24.
The Seaforth team made the trip
by motor via Listowel, Palmerston,
and Harriston—105 miles , all told
and £hjen .a Jive-mile .sleigh-ride
Ripley from tlje Durham road.
They set out on the return jour
ney about midnight, expecting to be
Home in six hours, but evidently the
storm, which blew up altered their
plans, for by the middle of the morn
ing on Tuesday, they had not then
arrived home.

Impassible roads- and blota|ced
trains forced a postponement of the
Lucknow-Teeswater junior ; playoff
for the group championship.
' Teeswater put Brussels out and it
is now up to the local juniors to win
a two-game series, goals to count,
with the Teesers if .they are to get

SOUTH KINLOSS WINS
<?
and ' the world** 0 entertained, of
correspondents,
It is surprising how many of the
Ranger puck chasers .hailed from
Huron, Bruce and~“Grey counties,
-i-Murdoch was born in Lucknow. How
ie Morenz in Mitchell; Butch Keeling
in Owen Sound and Charlie Mason
in Seaforth, while Cecil Billion star
ted his hockey career in Meaford and
made his pro jump Tn *28 afteF four
' years with the Owen Sound Greys.

DoJ^Rciarke drew the first major
, penalty of. his career, when he and
his teammate, Colquhoun, of the
Stratford Midgets hooked up with a
pair of Kitchener Junior last week
in a lively fist fight. The quartette
was' chased, eaclf for a 5-minutp rest?
Referring to Lucknow Juniors 5 to
4 victory in Brussels two weeks' ago,
The Post says in part “The" flashy
Lucknow juniors played a nice pass
ing game and broke fast on the at
tack.”
South KinlossTakes 6-2 Verdict
On Thursday^ Night In Defeating
Anglicans ' ■,
South Kinloss strengthened their
hold on second place in the Church
League standing, by defeating the
Anglican team last Thursday night,

game than the score would indicate.

one for the Anglicans in the first

de-
For-
Eastern Canada,
at large, has been
late, by newspaper
and others, .who have come to this
province, to spy out- £he land, and
report.
Since I have discussed, this, mat
ter oj social credit in'' the columns
of the Sentinel, I might. be consid
ered elegible to deal with some of
the statements some of . these - men
have mad# and. try to show to what,
extent dependence, can be placed'1” on
what they said. ’ -
Statements, appearing in Maclean’s,
magazine during. January, do not
give a fair picture, of the situation-
at all.;To anyone, wishing first’ hand
knowledge of ah economic situation
In Toronto, that is, the, status-of its.
people, the wealth of which it
, boasts, and the Jiving conditions
- under which- its people exist, a week’s
sojourn in a palatial suite in the
Royal York Hotel would not be a
suitable spot for gaining authentic
information. -Now would it? , '•
Mr. Moore, editor - of Maclean’s
magazine visited Alberta, presum-
ably> for the purpose of gathering,
'.authentic, information with, refer
ence to the ne.w philosophy, .which
Alberta, electors claimed with open
arihsl While in Cajgary/ most of his
time, it would seem, was spent in
and around the Palliser Hotel, a
hotel which corresponds closely in
7Cargary7 fo^the"' Royal York in Tor
onto.
He interviewed politicians, most
if not ail, of whom were opposed to
the new’ doctrine. Several of them,
I’m told, had been defeated by can
didates of the Social Credit move-
ment. . What’ would you expect from
such a source? . ;
He . interviewed insurance men,
who had travelled the country,- and
were supposed to be in a position
to know what conditions actually ex-,
iste^l.. These men had been told, by
others of the financial class, that if
Social Credit became a reality, there
would be no financial jobs available
in the province. What sort of a re-;
port could be,, expected from ptich'
men ? .. , .
He met men of various classes,
most of, them engaged in pursues,
which some one had told them would
be destroyed if social credit -became
a.success. It would be foolish ..to ex
pect such men, however, honest or
sincere, to give an enthusiastic and
-rosy picture of the future under so
cial credit. '
' ■ ■ p. -J
If Mr. Moore had registered fOr a
month at a.third rate hotel, and had.
eaten his meals- (dined) at anyone
he might have beten able- to tell a
.different story; If he had mingled
with the i men and women in the
street, discussing their problems
with them in. the stores, in the parks
or in their homes, he would have
heard something of the. actual situa
tion, he Would never have. found if
he had lived, at the Palliser for a,
lifetime. How, tell me, can, a hi|an
get a picture of the predicament of
the average citizen, his earnings,
his habits of life, his terror of star
vation, and his intense ldesire for a
decent standard of living if he lives
indefinitely in a $10.00 a day en-'
vir.onment? . . - ■
■ • .That distress is rampant across
this province - anti throughout the
vyest, there, is no doubt. I can cite
many cases. Having been a resident
of this province for over twenty
years,' I know something of the sit
uation. I want to say that any man
who denies the truth of the state
ment made by Mr. Aberhart as to
the distress in this province, he
knows, little of the actual conditions.
True there are many sections wljere
plenty is the rule, perhaps an Abun
dance- but there are sections 'of A1-.
berta where- no citizen has enough
for a decent; standard of living.
Let me give you one instance. In
a school district, , a young man is
teaching. His salary cannot be paid.
He is boarding with a family in the
district. He is unable to ;pay his
board because he. cannot ’ collect his
salary. No taxes can .be collected to
pay his salary for no one has any
money. What can. he do ?
Every- family in the district is on
municipal relief. 'The family with
whom he boards, because they have
a boarder, can get no relief. Every
one can see the setup. The family is
m distress, th% teacher is \ in dis
tress. What'.can they do?
The only logical thing the teacher
can do’is, to go on relief hhnself.
He has a* job, but. can’t collect his
pay.; those who owe him,, having no
,money, so. they can’t pay. They,
themselves are-in distress.
; Therefore, the teacher > goes to
the municipal offices and demand?
relief for. himself. He’si too poor to
keep a horse, he has. ho clothing but
what he stands arrayed in. How can
the municipal authorities do other
wise than to grant his request? And
they dc\.’ ,
Silly, isn’t it? A qualified teacher
in a rural' district .in a once pros- '
perous locality,- unabl'e to carry on1’
without public' relief. It squnds i’e- .
diculpus, but such is the solemn, fact.
When the school closed for the. win--
ter .vacati^nT'the young./map coqld
get no money bn which to travel. '
and had, no. means by which he could,
remain in the cohntVy. He finally
arranged, transportation ' into Cal
gary,. over, two hundred rfiiles, .’,ar^
riving with-but 11 cents -in his p'ocr*
"ket and the clothes he wore! '
; There may not be many cases like
this, but can'the people of Ontario,
especially in the vicinity of Lucknow
imagine a. situation where every
family resident in a, schcbl. district.:
6;.'miles square; w;as detfendetit on ■
Dublic charity for an existence ?
yVha.t would 'be expected as a relief
■ allowance? ?JJntil. recently less than
five * dollars' per month, per family,
and., fuel! " .
This' is Only by, way of proving
that the statements' of Premier Ab-:
erhar’t are not far front the truth.
He . receives an immense mail from
■ the . rural districts, and^no man in
the province is' more familia'r with
the acute* situation with’' -which the
province is faced.-
The press, is critical of Alberta’s
new government. That is, a certain
and considerable section of it. Bed
cause the structure of present day
finance is threatened, §nd the money’
barons who have controlled the des-
tine’s of the world for their own ends
are fearful that their day is doomed.
The press , has become, arrayed ag-
aiffst~'anythin'g—wh-ich^savoTS~of“nTon:r~
etary reform, and ' Social Credit'
theories have been assailed " from
nearly every quarter. ;
If anyone should state, in the press
or otherwise, that the people of Al
berta, having, become - disillusioned,
have given up hope for the ••'Ultimate
inaguration of social credit in this
province, it may be safely stated
that such an individual knows ‘-little
or nothing of the actual situation.
With entrenched finance, and the
whole weight of national sentiment
opposed to the inovation, which it
is claimed will banish poverty, in the
midst of plenty, the theories of* the
new Aberhart Government may "not
succeed. In fact,-, there. is a certain
faction qf the movement itself, which
doubt -the sabijitjr. of ..the,, government
to put into . effect, its doctrine be
cause of the overwhelming opposi
tion from without-the*, province; .
Tn-/blie- /meantime/ Mr- -AberhafctjasL
c-ontinuing his efforts to give the
province a clean efficient government
which for several years at least,
Alberta has not .'had. The. sincerity
of the Premier has scarcely ever
been doubted, that he is a man of
high intellectual attainment is. a.
certainty;, that his motives in the
sponsoring of this movement have
been5’ altruistic. Surely, barring out
ride interference, Alberta is a logi
cal place in which .tQ make a mone- .
ta'ry experiment,., the government is
willing. The majority of Alberta’s
electorate is willing, why is it that
a thing, must be . spoiled by outside
influences. ;
In February 1st issue of Maclean’s
the editor makes a partial apology -.
for , the errors contained in Mac
lean’s of January 1st. Having some
thing' of a knowledge of the history
of this movement, the entire,' or al
most" the. entire article, . should be
apologized for. No 'greater injustice
has been done to . an incoming gov
ernment, or its leader, than the cyn
ical, biased and silly article undor"'
the by-Jine of; the editor . .himself..
Were Maclean’s not a national mag
azine with a wide circulation, the .
question raised by the articl^ would
be beneath.the contempt of any self ,
respecting AlbertAn, but with the'
scope of territory covered by-' this
.magazine, it seems a> pity that such
irreperable injury ■ cannot be taxed .
with the . penalty it deserves.
Let me state again, that in the
social credit ranks in Alberta are
numbered some of the brightest
minds, some of the most influential
members of society, and ...that..the.
general intelligence of its sponsors
rank as a decent average in any
civilizatioh. Among the ranks df its
biiterfest opponents-are the commun
ists of the province,-and..among its
staunchest supporters,’ are found a
multitude of former Conservatives,
liberals, C. C. Fers, and a goodly
sprinkling from the United Farm
er’s of Alberta.- With this sort of
cross section, is it any wonder .that
success c7)uld.
world without
mind it’s own
