Crosbie took issue with the prime minister’s statement Tuesday that the premiers were subverting the courts for political purposes by legally challenging the eonstititional proposals and therefore delaying his plans.The Newfoundland Tory MP for St.John’s West also complained Trudeau was denigrating the courts by calling members of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland "non elected officials."

striving is everything This dream was different.It was a dream we all took part in — not just one man or a group of men or one nation or even a group of nations, but all mankind Do you remember those first pictures from space?How could we ever be the same again once we had seen this beautifully fragile blue-and-white globe adrift in the chilly ink'’ We had sudden- ly to face the fact that we were all very much alone in a hostile universe and all our squabbles seemed unbelievably petty.It was then we began talking about ecology — a word most of us had to look up — and seriously doing some thing about pollution.But then there was that rifle shot in Dallas and the uncouth cowboy picking his dog up by the ears ( was it his dog or his wife?).There was Richard Milhous Nixon (1 told them and told them not to vote for him!) and there was Watts and the Chicago Democratic Convention and Watergate and the dream turned sour.Still, that first foot went on the moon ahead of schedule — although what a tragedy it was that Kennedy did not live to see it.On July 21st, 1969.the Sherbrooke Daily Record screeched in letters two inches high;

"In Canada, in this fractious spring of 1981, a free press is close to being openly and publicly harassed by our most powerful government a government which absolutely controls the competing broadcasting media with tight regulation and huge CBC subsidies." As well as the royal commission.Southam and Thomson Newspapers Ltd , which owns 42 dailies, are subjects of a combines inquiry, he said \ HACKS PC RUSHER Ottawa has also proposed "new and more onerous" taxes on some advertising inserts distributed by newspapers and key government spokesmen have attacked the media, he added Fisher said Liberal Senator Keith Davey, who headed the 1970 media study, made a personal attack on Roy Megarry, publisher of the Toronto Globe and Mail after Megarry had made a speech in London criticizing Prime Minister Trudeau’s constitutional plans).And Jim Coutts, Trudeau’s principal secretary, said Alberta has “the worst media of any province in Canada.” In his brief, Fisher said he believed these cir-cumstances were "something other than isolated incidents." During his brief, Fisher tossed up accusations that have been made against Southam and proceeded to shoot them down He denied that Southam ownership leads to homogenized newspapers, that the chain puts profit ahead of editorial quality, that Southam was either in collusion with Thomson or merely incompetent in closing the Winnipeg Tribune last year.ATTEMPTS FAILED Fisher said Southam lost $16 million during a five-year attempt to save The Tribune and projected losses of another $4 million for 1981 and $15 million in the next five years if it hadn’t closed the newspaper The Tribune's circulation rose but the circulation of its competitor.The Free Press, owned by Thomson, didn’t drop “The stakes simply became too high when it became increasingly obvious that the shrinking market would not support the two existing newspapers." he said "If The Tribune were to be successful it would have to be over the dead body of The Free Press We did not consider that a reasonable business proposition or of significant benefit to the community." The commission was named after Southam closed The Tribune and Thomson shut the Ottawa Journal on the same day in August.D-Day leader News-in-brief Bradley, 88, dies NEW YORK (AP) Gen Omar Bradley, the “GI’s General" who was the last of the great Second World War U S commanders and the last of its five-star generals, has died at the age of 88 Bradley, a lanky, bespectacled Missourian who commanded U S invasion forces on D-Day at Normandy and was the firsi chairman of the U S Joint Chiefs of Staff, suffered a heart attack Wednesday while attending a dinner at the 21 Club in New York He was pronounced dead shortly afterward in hospital.During his69years of active duty, the longest service of anyone in U S history, he commanded the largest force in U S history 1.3 million men in the Second World War and never lost a fight But.he once told a congressional committee, "as far as I am concerned, war itself is immoral."

Hart was stripped of his lightweight crown by the Canadian Professional Boxing Federation after he was knocked out by Noel of Trinidad on March 24.He had been ordered by the federation to defend his title by the end of April, but was unable to do so because the knockout brought an automatic 60-day suspension by the Montreal Athletic Commission.“{¦ 4" ~h Larry Holmes, World Boxing Council heavyweight champion, told an admiring crowd of gawkers and fans after sparring practice Wednesday they'd better arrive early for his title defence Saturday because Trevor Rerbick won t last long.Holmes, who looked strong and ready to fight, said while Canadian champion Berbick is unpredicable, he doesn't expect much trouble from him Berbick said he’s ready for Holmes and the undefeated world champion will have to have all his skills at hand to keep the title.“If I'm not ready now, I'll never be ready." Berbick said His training schedule has been rigorous and he said he’s prepared for "a war" when he gets his chance at the biggest prize in boxing at Caesars Palace.+ + + Tempo has emerged as the key factor in the Houston-San Antonio NSA playoff series.Houston Rockets like a slowed-down type offence, while San Antonio Spurs prefer to run, run, run.The Spurs lost the first game Tuesday night, 107-98, when the Rockets shut off San Antonio's fast break and controlled the tempo by walking the ball up the floor But Wednesday night the Spur got their running game going and, sparked by a career-high 34 points and excellent defensive effort from power forward Mark Olberding, downed the Rockets 125-112 in San Antonio.In the only other game, Kansas City Kings defeated Phoenix Suns 88-83 to even the other best of-seven Western Conference semifinal series at 1-1.Defending champion Saskatchewan was undefeated Wednesday after six rounds of the Canadian Legion Senior Men's curling

Brock knows he might have to play at least one more Canadian Football League season in a Winnipeg Blue Bombers uniform - and he doesn't like the idea "I just want to get out of Winnipeg and go somewhere else," said Brock, the league's most valuable player last year.Entering the option year of his contract, he holds no hope of coming to new terms with the Blue Bombers "I know the situation I'm in.If they don’t trade me then I have to come back for a year or I'm finished in football.’' C AN ADI AN PRfcSS Wayne Gretzky did a number on Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night That was

dramatic slogan, the folk martial fanfare, the spotlights, the razamatazz and while Saturday’s gala was expensive in terms of manpower, its short-term benefits were immediate ego gratification for everyone in the Palais des Sports.Cousineau, meanwhile, has adopted a grassroots style similar to that the PQ used so successfully in 1976.He rises early, begins shaking hands right aw'ay and continues shaking them long after dark He distains rallies like Saturday’s, calling them a waste of time and energy, "What’s important is to meet people, listen to what they say, be sympathetic," he

battling for power in next Monday’s Quebec election have a key, unknown factor to contend with — voter apathy.Pierre Bibeau, chief Liberal organizer, said in a telephone interview Monday that he believed a light turnout April 13 would favor the incumbent Parti Québécois.The two latest public opinion polls indicate the PQ has a solid lead among decided voters — varying from nine points in a survey undertaken by the Centre de Recherches sur l'Opinion Publique (CROP), to six points in one prepared by political scientist Maurice Pinard and Sorecom.Bibeau said if many of those who refused to give their opinion or were undecided when they talked with the pollsters stay home on voting day — "because they don’t see the importance of their vote" — it could posea problem for the Liberals.In the CROP poll, 21 per cent of respondents were undecided or wouldn't say how they were going to vote, while in Pinard’s survey that category accounted for 12 per cent.Bibeau said that although the Liberals haven't dedicated any of their advertising budget to getting out the vote, on the campaign trail Leader Claude Ryan has been making a general appeal to supporters to use their ballots.The Liberals are counting on advertising by Quebec's chief electoral officer encouraging people to cast their ballot, as w'ell as a voting day effort to prod and shuttle supporters to the polls, Bibeau said.ELECTION RENDEZ VOUS The PQ has produced stickers reminding people of their ‘‘rendez-vous at the box," but officially party workers aren't admitting voter apathy has them RK ORIVPI KRV BFATON I

since been appointed head of the Quebec Occupational Health and Safety Council Anglos, ethnics crack PQ lineup QUEBEC (Ul'i When the Parti Québécois won the 1976 provincial election.Rene l-evesque became the first premier in the history of Quebec not to name an English-speaking member to bis cabinet.He didn't have much choice, since the lone anglophone who ran for the PQ didn’t win a seat in the national assembly But after 41 ; years in government, the situation is different The PQ has seven anglophone candidates among its 122 running in the April 13 election and that's only three fewer than the Liberal party The Levesque team also is running three “ethnic'' candidates of neither English nor French origin, compared with the Liberals' five Among the PQ anglophones are Robert Dean.Quebec director of the United Auto Workers.David Payne, an adviser to Education Minister Camille Uturin; and Henry Milner, former head of the Committee of Anglophones for Sovereignty Association, a small pressure group which campaigned for sovereignty in last May's referendum Payne is thought to have a chance at taking Vachon riding, a new constituency created by redistribution south of Montreal, while Dean will have his hands full with Liberal Solange t liaput Rolland, the former member of the federal task force on national unity, who holds Provost riding north of the city Milner is running in Westmount, a Liberal bastion which has long been a symbol of the wealth and power of Quebec s English minority "I'm not expecting to win," he conceded in an interview "If political ambition

party asked him to, and because anglophones have the right to choose between parties To say the PQ has never done well among Quebec s anglophone and ethnic communities is an understatement In a 1979 byelection in the largely Jewish riding of D Arcy Mclîee.the Liberal candidate nulled 97 per cent ol the vote.worried.Michel Lepage, director of the party’s electoral statistics office here, said he's expecting the turnout to run from 80 to 83 per cent, similar to turnouts in the previous four Quebec elections.However, Premier Rene Levesque has made a point of urging supporters to "get out the vote.” The pitch, often aimed at high school or junior college audiences, has been repeated across the province, with Levesque telling crowds at party rallies "if you don’t take an active part in politics you may become a victim of politics.” The poll results may be an indication Quebecers have tuned out the nearconstant barrage of politics to which they’ve been subjected over the past 412 years, or are confused by the issues in this campaign.Since the 1976 provincial election, Quebecers have weathered two federal elections, the Liberal party's leadership race, the bitterly-fought referendum on sovereignty-association and 11 provincial byelections.A possible clue to me mood of Canadian voters in general could be the turnout in the Ontario election last month, when Premier Bill Davis was re-elected by only about one of four eligible voters.With 57 per cent of Ontario’s eligible voters voting, it was the lowest turnout since 1934.FINISH WORK In Quebec, turnout was high in last May's referendum on sovereignty-association, in which the federalist coalition led by Ryan defeated the PQ-led coalition by a 20-point margin.Eighty-six per cent of the 4,367,134 eligible voters cast ballots.And Ryan has made a point of linking this election with the referendum by telling supporters that the electorate must finish the work begun with the plebiscite by carrying out "a smashing victory” over the independence-oriented PQ Bibeau said he was convinced a light turnout would favor the PQ because its supporters are more “fanatical” than Liberal backers.But a possible factor running against the PQ is the apparent high level of satisfaction with the Levesque government, shown by the two polls Satisfied citizens are more likely to stay at home on voting day, some observers say.As for the example of the Ontario election, Bibeau said, judging from voter turnout in the referendum and the past four general elections, Quebecers are "much more politicized” than their counterparts in Ontario.And the more dramatic issues in the Quebec election, federalism versus eventual independence, individual rights versus collective rights and state intervention versus the "primacy of private enterprise," are more likely to bestir potential voters.SKY WON’T FALL’ Bibeau added that party workers observing advance polls Sunday and Monday reported the turnout was no lower than usual, although he and the chief electoral officer's office in Quebec City could not provide any figures on how many people voted.Running counter to Bibeaus optimism, La Presse’s political colunmist Lysiane Gagnon wrote halfway through the campaign that it was failing to grip the population.Gagnon wrote: "Maybe, at the bottom of it, in the voter's heart of hearts, he has felt that, despite the apocalyptical clamoring of the politicians, there isn't a lot at stake and whatever the result the sky won’t fall on our heads.” You've lived for 17 to 21 years and you're wondering when

in the lead during the current election campaign.Shefford MNA Richard Verreault | doesn't plan to go job hunting on April 14.In fact, the Liberal incumbent says he expects to take 50 per cent of the I ballots cast in the county, boosting his margin of victory from his 1976 plurality of 426 votes to over 5000 votes.Verreault has held the county for the [ past eight years after being elected in the 1973 Grit sweep.He wrestled the | county away from the Union Nationale's Armand Russell, but this time his main opposition is coming from two fronts, the PQ's Roger Pare and Luc Bouchard, the latest Union Nationale standard-bearer.And despite Verreault's confidence and a poll conducted by the French-language daily La Voix de l'Est and CHEF Radio, which gives him a 47-point edge over his rivals, neither opponent plans to roll over and play dead.“I'm in this race to win," replies UN I candidate Bouchard when asked if his party will only serve as a vote splitter as it did in 1976."I'm going to be taking votes away from both the Pequistes and the Liberals.'' Pequiste Pare discounts both his competitors by dismissing the Union Nationale as disorganized and Verreault as incompetent.“People in Shefford are tired of being in the opposition,' says the 33-year-old Agropur sales co-ordinator.T find when 1 campaign door-to-door that people express confidence in the Levesque team." He charges that Verreault has done nothing to solve the region's woes over the past eight years nor has he come up with any innovative ideas to ease them In his defence, Verreault falls back on the Voix de l'Est poll which says more people are satisfied with the job that he is doing now than in 1976 However, he admits that most people responding to the poll have not had to ask him for help Shefford is a mixed rural-urban riding that covers 590 square kilometres.About 55,000 people live within its borders, mainly in Granby, Waterloo.Granby Township, Shefford and the parish of Sainte-Pudentienne.Though the area was initially settled by anglophones, the region is now about 90 per cent French-speaking, with the hulk of its English-speaking residents living in Waterloo and Warden.Dairy, pig and chicken farming is carried on in the area, with its bountiful forests one of the prime sources in Quebec of maple syrup.Local industries vary from those that are tied to agriculture such as the Agropur agricultural co-op.Slack's Mushrooms and Raleigh in Waterloo to Dominion Textile.Miner Rubber Company and a score of others in the Granby industrial park Many workers also commute to work at IBM.Mitel and other plants in nearby Bromont.part of neighboring’ Brome-Missisquoi riding About 38,000 people are eligible to vote, according to the 1980 revision According to the local media poll, about 30 per cent of those questioned were undecided In the May 20 referendum, the county went 65 per cent for the No and 35 per cent for the Yes.Though their political colors may clash, all three candidates questioned by The Record agreed on local issues.Each said that social, health, cultural and provincial government services should be improved in the area.Each said the cleanup of the Yamaska River should be accelerated and that assistance should be provided to small and medium businesses.Each also said that better access roads should be provided to the Eastern Townships autoroute and Huit pothole ridden secondary roads should be fixed.Only Bouchard seems to address the nationalism question in his campaign and points out that the PQ is committed to Quebec independence despite their electoral platform The 42 year-old chiropractor stresses the need for a three party system in the province and says that two federalist parties are vital to Quebec's well-being and to maintain its place in Canada.Mass rallies have been limited in the ampaign w ith the emphasis on door-to m KtroHD/HMir HfeATON Richard I errault.left, faces stiff competition from both PQ and i A candidates door encounters Both the PQ and the Liberals have an ample supply of baubles, bangles and brochures slumping for their cause, with Verreault's literature trumpeting over $1 million in subsidies so far for the county.The PQ literature touts government funding as well.Despite the efforts of all three candidates, the undecideds seem to be holding the floor In a speech to 150 townsfolk in Waterloo.Verreault, a 43 year-old businessman with shares in the Agence Voyage Princess and the strikebound Verreault Transport Ltd, said the English vote had deserted him in 1976 because of a dissatisfaction with the Bourassa government and as a backlash against Bill 22.He feels, however, that this was only a temporary move “because they found out that Bill 101 was more dangerous than Bill 22." While Pare isn’t laying claim to the angle vote, he said that “In 1976.many people were afraid of the Parti Québécois.Now, they’ve come to see them as a good government ’ a thought echoed by several Shefford residents While some see the PQ and the Liberals as neck and neck, others are less anxious to pinpoint a winner “I think Richard Verreault will win, but 1 hesitate to say by how much." says Waterloo businessman Dick Stoddard, “Some people are probably lieing swayed by the PQ's giveaway programs and many say they've been a g oik! government But they don't stop to think about the deficit Stoddard added that “the anti PQ feeling seems to have evaporated somewhat” since last May's sovereignty-association referendum but could not pinpoint a reason why In Granby, the contrast is more

Québécois nominee Marie Harvey, Union Nationale contender Jean Guy Peloquin, and Freedom Of Choice parachute candidate Blair McIntosh each hope to capture significant per contages of the vote by appealing to special interests Paradis, a Bedford native, draws most ot his strength from the flat land agricultural sector extending west of Cow ansville toward Missisquoi Bay He w on last November's

heavily against it As a strong free enterprise advocate, Paradis anticipates the Bedford based association’s continued support Peloquin, a 49 year old native of St Hyacinthe, appeals more to the dairy farming region toward Eastman, where he established himself as a businessman Peloquin has been concentrating on door to door visits, hitting sugar parties, parochial suppers and homes for the elderly Part of the riding used to he a Union Nationale stronghold, but after longtime U N.MNA Armand Russell resigned to run for I he Conservatives in the 1979 federal election, the party slipped from prominence Peloquin hopes to recapture some of that Union Nationale strength “There's a definite swing back to the blue tradition in the county, and I have the support of at least five mayors who are campaigning on my behalf.' he said Liberals who are “questioning whether they chose one of their own when Paradis was elected'' are drifting over the Union Nationale, says Peloquin who was a Liberal

of the Union Nationale The party pick up 28 per cent of the vote in November, an eight per cent increase since 1976 The Parti Québécois may also gain some votes in the Bromont region, which used to be Liberal territory when the Desourdy brothers were mayors of Cowansville and Bromont The Desourdy influence, however, waned after the Liberal defeat in 1976 The industrial sector between Bromont and Cowansville was worried about rising taxes and high unenv ploymen! last fall, after Ixith Space Research and the Vilas furniture plant in Cowansville went out of business, while Bromont shouldered the full expense of maintaining their cooperatively built airport The airport situation still isn't resolved, with Cowansville still withholding promised sup)H>rt payments The unemployment situation has eased considerably, however, since Laurent Beaudoin and Bombardier Industries purchased the Space Research plant, while General Electric announced plans to build a new jet turbine blade factory soon in Bromont This latter development particularly benefits the Paradis campaign, since the announcement came immediately after he look office, and since campaign aide Mark Turcot participated in the negotiations Peloquin is irritated by Paradis' political windfall.He disputes Paradis' claim that the Liberals were respon siblc for creating 400 new jobs at the proposed G E plant in Bromont “Furthermore Paradis' allegation that he created 300 new jolis with Mitel in Bromont is a total lie." said Peloquin.adding that former Con servat ive M P Howard Grafftey should claim credit for the new jobs About three quarters of Brome Missisquoi belongs to either the agricultural or urban industrial sector, in almost equal proportions Cowan sville, population 12,000, is the largest town, while

diver silied Each has taken a different economic path recently, encountering different problems Knowlton has become a prestigious suburb of Cowansville and Bromont, a bedroom community whose economic

enjoy ed a local monopoly During peak snow years, the local economy correspondingly boomed Two nearly snowless winters in a row have caused a severe local slump, however, while town of Sutton taxes have soared to cover a belatedly built and still un finished sewage treatment system This was a factor in the recent collapse ol Sutton's small soft industrial sector A'arntex Limited has closed, reopened, and closed again since 1977, while Sutton Wood Products and Sutton Milk Products both closed permanently last winter Home and cottage building and land speculation meanwhile vir tually eliminated local agriculture, prior to Quebec imposed green zoning While economic issues differ from town to town, two environmental issues are consistently raised throughout Brome Missisquoi Neither will swing the election, hut both did become significant last fall, and Paradis' personal reputation as an en vironmentabst helped him then on both counts The first involves river jHillution t he

has been taken on the Pike, actually the worst polluted ol the three, nor has much been done about eutrophication in Missisquoi Bay, 1 which at the present rate of decline would become but a swamp within 5(1 years A secondary water pollution problem ol public concern is the malfunctioning sewage treatment plant in Stanhridge Station, built to serve Champlain Industries and community wastes 19 years ago, but now inadequate to the task Marie Harvey has stressed the strong P.Q reputation on water pollution, using the Yamaska clean up as her first example, while Paradis has renewed last fall's pledge to crack down on < hamplain Industries The other major Brome Missisquoi environmental issue is the Canadian Pacific Railroad's now 3 year old 'asbestos line,' a stretch of track running from Brigham to Highwater within the riding, ballasted with asbestos tailings This issue sparked a public debate among the three can didales running in last fall’s by election The Parti Québécois can

it at home it’s also another community contact that brings children together in an atmosphere conducive to building a good character and friendship The Sunshine Club base their schedules on a combination of interests mixed with religious instruction There are games, singing, some handicraft and light refreshments, all styled to have juvenile appeal, and at Magog, it seems to be doing just

EXORCISES STRESS Ridding the body of tension can exorcise emotional stress By kicking the stool bench and beating the mattress, you can release the emotional problems that are bothering you.“While the person is striking out at the mattress, he or she may break down into tears or say something that will alert me to their problem," Shaw says.She says that if someone displays a mental disorder, she would refer them to a psychiatrist.She would not try to treat a disorder but work with the physician to try to solve it Most of her clients are women, she says, because “they feel more comfortable asking for help "Men are locked into their egos Women may also encounter more problems, especially in today's society where they are in a period of transition, going from the home environment into the work force.” Many of cases Shaw sees involve life crises such as marital and sexual problems and parent-child relationships.Bio-energy therapists do not need a licence to practise But Shaw, who attended classes once every two weeks for five years, says bio-energy therapists are well prepared to handle the personal and emotional problems of their clients “You have to be able to recognize and handle your own difficulties before dealing with those of others," she says.“If you are afraid of your own difficulties you might run away from the same problem found in somebody else." Shaw turned to bio-energy EDMONTON (CP) - Researchers at the Univeristy of Alberta are trying to find a vaccine against pregnancy."Nobody is working on the pregnancy vaccine in Canada that I'm aware of except the U of A," said Dr, Tom Wegmann.an im- therapy after she became dissatisfied with her work as a social worker and a psychiatric nurse."I more or less stumbled on this area,” she says.“I was searching for something and I wanted an in-depth way of working with people.” munologist at the university.“There’s a bit of research worldwide but not nearly enough.The population problem is everybody's problem, not just India’s, not just China's."

National Hockey Leaguers show the pride and spirit he felt w hen active ‘ When 1 came up to Montreal it didn't matter to me how much money I would make or if I might get hurt.' Richard says "I just wanted to play During his 20 year tenure with the Canadiens, Richard scored 358 goals and added OKU assists for 1.046 points.In postseason play, including 11 Stanley Cup championships, he had 49 goals and 80 assists for 129 points.Richard, visiting here recently, noted in an in terview' that there is a lot of money in the NHL.and he leels it is taking away from the game There is a big difference in playing for money and playing for pride Sometimes it's not always good " While maintaining that he is not bitter over today's athletes being better paid than he was.Richard said he is opposed to the calibre of some of those making the top dollar Tm happy for the guy who is making the money If it is there, a player is crazy not to take it But I m opposed to the calibre of some players who are getting big money ’’ RK.IHCTS TIIK COONS Richard said he hopes the day of the “little man” in hockey isn't over Hockey is a game of skating, tight checking but not “fighting or goon tactics." A little man can do this as good as anybody In the NHL now Marcel Dionne.Guy La-fleur.Keith Acton are a few of the most exciting men in the sport They make things happen with fast skating I think that's the way hockey should be played ' Rivalries between clubs must be rebuilt, he said When he played.the Canadiens would have heated battles with Detroit and Toronto the 14 times they met during the schedule.Now Montreal and Toronto only play each other three times all season.The tans want rivalries." Richard.45.who retired in 1975.says the biggest thrill of his career was playing with his brother Maurice He joined Montreal when When He (Or She) Returns Your Advertising Message Is Still There.If our readers are interrupted from reading the newspaper to get a snack or make a phone call, your advertising message will still be there waiting when they return.Newspaper advertising does not disappear in 30 seconds.It gives the reader time to decide where to shop and why.Call The Record Advertising Department at 569-9525 I was six years old Maurice was always my hero.too.and I was excited as well the first time we played together " SCORFI) WINNER Richard said another highlight was scoring the tying and winning goals against Chicago Black Hawks in the seventh game of the 1971 Stanley Cup championships.Canadiens coach A1 MacNeil had benched him after game five.Montreal lost the game 2-0 and after the match.Richard, who didn't see much action, called MacNeil "the worst coach in hockey." But he put me back in the lineup and getting those two goals made my season." he recalled.MacNeil, who now coaches Calgary Flames, went on the next year to coach Nova Scotia Voyageurs of the American Hockey League, the Canadiens top farm club.T don’t know if my speaking out like that had anything to do with it.but I am sorry it happened," Richard said.He rates former NHL great Bobby Orr as professional hockey's best player ever.“I saw a lot of good players over the years but nobody was close to Orr He could skate like the wind and had moves nobody ever saw before."

The London Club, Highlands Country (Tub, Ivanhoe Curling Club and Ilderson Curling Club Each went out of its way to entertain the 5,000 plus curling fans who swarmed into London looking for a good time.The clubs staged suppers and various other types of entertainment They took the form of Monkey Tonk Piano, sing alongs and taped music.As a Quebecer, however, the part 1 really appreciated was that the closing hours of the clubs had been extended from one a m to three a m especially for Silver Broom week Will Ontario ever be the same again" The curling tyes 1 did manage to remember why 1 was there) took place in Thompson Arena on the campus of the University of Western Ontario It was the first time a major curling event has been held at the arena Part of the arena houses four curling sheets which had been con verted to the “Broom Closet" for the Silver Broom The ice had been removed and souvenir stands, information Ixxiths, food kiosks and beer and liquor counters had been installed It was in the "Broom Closet" where most of the im portant "games" were played By this 1 mean the in trieate, nerve racking, dog eat dog game of pin trading Forewarned is forearmed and I had come prepared to wage a tough battle having brought with me 18 pins to trade The game starts off calmly enough as club pin is traded for club pin without much thought being given to exactly what you are getting in return However, as your supply starts to dwindle you begin to get the unmistakable symptoms of pin fever.This is an internationally recognized disease of which the only known cure is summer Your eyes start to bulge, you begin to perspire, your legs start to tremble and your heart beats faster.You tell yourself to stay calm and you start to search out the professionals.These are people who collect pins on a very serious basis I traded with one fellow, for example who had over 1200 pins in his collection The Ottawa Brier pin was the most sought after pin anywhere.This is because it was the last Briei to be sponsored by McDonalds Tobacco before Labatts took over.So if you have one hang on to it, it's worth keeping Getting back to my 18 pins for a second, they only lasted until Monday night, midway through the second draw We had to send back to Montreal for more to be shipped down.Now that's pin fever (hie of the main highlights of the week was participating in the Grand Trans Atlantic Match This match consisted of North American curlers playing against European curlers w ith the total score for each side being tabulated T his year the winners was Europe w ith a total of 593 vs 516 for North America.The Broom Closet was everyone’s favorite mingling place before heading out to the various clubs.People could be found there before, during and after each draw.Television sets were everywhere so no curling needed be missed It was so popular that on the Friday they sold over 6,000 bottles of beer.Sounds a bit like the Sutton Men’s bonspiel, doesn't it?It I had to sum up the Silver Broom in one word il would be camaraderie.Meeting people from all over the world, in fact acting as their hosts for one week, gave me a feeling of pride in what we have.The Silver Broom was a wonderful experience with Norwegians cheering for Canadians and Canadians cheering for Swedes etc.etc The world can be a w onderful place and events such as the Silver Broom make it that much more so.+ -t- F Extra Ends: It sounds like he had a great time and 1 wish I could have been there Well this will be the last Curling Comments of the season Ihopethat I was able to cover at least some of the more interesting aspects of the game 1 would like to apologize to any one we missed and I hope next year wo can do an even better job With spring coming so early many curlers have already taken to the golf courses and of course life becomes worth living again as the Expos take another run at the pennant 1 already have pennant fever! Many clubs have already had their closing parties I know for certain that both Magog's and Sutton's were a great success!
