Stewart is hockey players
player. He is known all around
the National Hockey League for
the solid body checks he hands
out, the determined and effective
manner in which he rides out
enemy rushers and protects Goalie
Johnny Mowers. They don't fool
with Stewart-try to feed him the
odd butt end as they drive past
because he's dynamite. The Wings
think he's their best fist fighter
but he doesn't have to prove it.
Stewart usually leaves the puck
carrying to the black haired Or
lando when the break comes from
the rearguard. but he got his
chance in the second period last
night when the Wings had the
Canadiens sewed up inside their
blue line. Detroit was leading
to 0 on the goal Don Crosse had
wangled on Wing power play in
the first minutes of the period, and

Pilot Mound, Man. couple thou
sand miles up there in the Cana

of Pilot Mound, Defenseman Jack
Stewart of the Detroit Red Wings,
scored the goal that defeated Mon

persons at Olympia last night.
It's an occasion both in Pilot
Mound and Detroit when Jack
Stewart gets a goal. This was only
the second of the season for the
quiet, 23-year-old redshirt, who
has become one of hockey's best
defenSemen in his two years as a

previous goal which helped Wings

ically with small storage tanks.
The makers say it is good for
% feet of suction lift, without the
close clearances necessary in other
shallow-wen units. 1t cannot lose
its prime because of air or gas con-
tent of the well water, for it sepa-
rates the air from the water and
keeps the pump and piping free

drop temporarily below the required
level, it will pump air until the 40

but it will clear itself of air when
the water rises, without your doing
anything about it.
Prices for these pumps vary ac-
cording to the size of the we'll, but
they are in general more expensive
than shalloW-well equipment, less
expensive than that for deep wells.
