That January night, Canadiens were playing one of bitterest rivals, the powerful Detroit Red Wings, and as an additional attraction, if one was needed, Richard the Rocket was to receive the award in recognition of being the of 1951, so selected by and for an American magazine devoted to 80 it was, in reality, a Richard night, a Richard crowd, come to pay homage to an:-idol, But unbelievably, because of one spon- taneous sporting gesture the whole show was stolen by Rfchard's of the National League right-wing ice lanes, quiet, "hard-shooting young Gordie Howe of the Wings, who just then was battling Richard tooth and nail for the N.H. It wasn't that Richard, unable to play because of injury, and reat ovation when he stepped out on the rubber runway, while players of Red Wings and Canadiens stretched in a line across the ice pounded on the ice with' their sticks to make their own contribution to the occasion. It wasn't that Mayor Houde, a master-craftsman of words in such events didn't speak with eloquence. All that went smoothly as per routine When the presentation was finished, and Richard had marched back to the promenade and was just about to disappear into the erowd, Howe suddenly skated away from his position, wheeled over, and called out, "Hey, - Howe doffed his glove extended his hand, and the two rivals for top goal-getting honors in the National Hockey League shook It was a sort of genuinely unrehearsed spontaneous gesture that caught the big crowd completely by surprise.

Lest We Perish Another generation, not very far in the past, remembered well-these words of the Savior from the 16th chapter and 26th verse of St. Mat- thew: ! "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Today that text is shortened by many. It bécomes: "For what is a man profited?" The interest is in the profit, The soul seems forgotten, or perhaps just placed in a deep freeze. The idea is that expendables are expen- dable. #2 : Success is reckoned in material things: in money, or social position or political power, or even in her- edity. "He comes of a good family --a very good family," is often heard. The idea isto get "up there" by whatever means and to stay "up. there" by. whatever means: Indocgration begins early. Col- lege atifetics often become semi- professional at the best. The em- ' phasis is on winning--on having the best team and 'most famous coach --and there is no subterfuge. which is not attempted toward this end. The fever has even spread to the high _schools. Nor are -sports--the- only activity affected. The educa- tional system -- from a 'student standpoint--is frequently a system of getting by, not of knowledge. The young follow the bad example of their elders, : s 'While this is going on, the good citizen and the good neighbor lives his life, hardly noticed except by those who appreciate his worth, and they are few in the scheme of world ballyhoo., Good deeds do not shine far, Honesty, honor, kindness and integrity go unrecognized when the tabulation for success 1s "made. .
