THE COLBOfrNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT. OCT. 1, 1953 Calvert SPORTS COLUMN • It is inevitable when the super-stars of hockey .meet in the annual all-star game, that there will be thrills and drama. 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 believe, 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 chil) 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-shooting 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 inborn 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 impact, 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 ordenajry. His skull was fractured. For days, it was a toss-up whether Bailey lived or died. The sports world turned bitterly against Shore. He was suspended by League edict, while the mob clamored that he should be barred for life. Others suggested he be jailed and tried for assault. -- perhaps for murder. The anti-Shore feeling was tremendous. But Bailey recovered. And when it was decided to stage an all-star game for his benefit, Shore was one of those selected 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 drama 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, eves 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 of the Johnstown flood, shook the great building to the very rafters. That was drama. We doubt if any other all-star game will ever produce its equal. and suggestioi o Calve Calvert DISTILLERS LIMITED py A Sixbit Critic Of recent years our personal fishing 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 "eleven" 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 interesting outdoor authorities, Bob Turnbull. Thank you, Rooert! With pheasant and partridge shooting not too far off this is the perfect time to give some consideration to sportsman-farmer relations. Each autumn at pheasant time, particularly close to the larger cities, there comes a justifiable holler from rural residents that trigger-happy city flickers are peppering stock, farmhouse windows and so forth with misdirected shots. Fences are broken down and gates left open so that cattle and horses often wander While it is true that only a small hooligan element is responsible for such poor sportsmanship the unfortunate thing is that an Where's that Barber? - This ry pup would like to get paws c doesn't believe his it too fashionable. ; barber. Seems he irate farmer is in no mood to differentiate between good and bad 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 technically belongs to the province, control of most.of its habitat if vested 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, be exceedingly generous with his hospitality. 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 following 10 commandments are the open sesame to the farmer'?- fields and coverts: 1. Always drive into the farmer's yard and ask permission 2 Hunt only in the areas he designates. Stay away from his 3. Respect his fences. If necessary to climb them, do §p by a post Use gates if possible, closing them behind you. 4. Never choot 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 people 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. 8. 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, offering to finance it or help him with it, thereby showing genuine interest in his affairs. Just remember that the farmer makes his living from the land that you want to hunt Over, so respect it every bit as much as you would the saw or plane you might borrow from a craftsman in the city. That's all the farmer asks -- consideration. Doin' the Turkey Hep - Tom Turkey sets a fast pace for pretty Jean Chapman as they stroll down the Boulevard.

Hon. James G. Gardiner, Federal Minister of Agriculture, must have been right when he said in his campaign: '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 toe election 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 get any natural 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 labour unions and other organizations that aim to improve conditions by political action and until such membership is better educated to methods of achieving their aims, we should not expect 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 improvement in the actions of individuals if labour is to gain the. proper spot in the public eye . . . The recent strike of the Teamsters Union did not create public appeal." Common Aim Mr. Gamble continues tiiat "it should be the aim of any organization 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 worker, whether he is in a factory or on a farm, should realize that we are all in need of a better understanding and a more unified aim. In a country with such possibilities we coula show the world what a working people can do for themselves." Producers: Consumers. We agree with Mr. Gamble as to the necessity of more ant1 better membership education and believe that public relations of unions could be considerably improved. This applies to Doth, labour and farmers, who incidentally realize it and discuss these two points at most every convention. Here is a wide field foi 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 Federation of Labour. _>-We heralded these committees at the time as hopeful achievements, 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 !arge 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 product. As consumers we want to buy it as cheaply as possible. This is the point where the field of co-operation begins. This column welcomes suggestions, wise or foolish, and all criticism, whether constructive or destructive and will try to answer any question.

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING BAB5r CHICKS CAMERA REPA1 SPECIALIZING In high grade TRUCK TIRES SPECIAL SALE Germans Gave Eyes To Blind Briton Two Germans have each given an eye to restore the sight of William Connolly, a Wolverhampton 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 British ex-soldier the cornea of his useless eye. Mr. Cosnolly 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.
