NOVICE Exhibition Games (April 4) “Manufacturers have adopted a much more realistic and sane approach to advertising and sales promotion.

Section 54 (a) of the Game and Fish Act states: Close to 150.000 snowmo- biles were in operation in On- tario this season and between three and four hundred thou- sand people wene involved in their use. "No person shall touch or in- terfere with any set trap, unless authorized to do so by law or by the owner thereof.” The section carries a penalty up to $1.000. Elsewhere on the snowmobile front. the Ontario Safety Lea- gue reports that there "appears to be some reduction this season in the number of accidents and fatalities in spite of a greater number of snowmobiles in use throughout Ontario." He also pointed out a fact of Life that could discourage any future snowmobile escapades along similar lines.

Brewer because once upon a time he ‘stood up as an individual and told management, The’Leafs, they couldn’t run his life. And he made it work too. Beautiful, just beautiful. The world still has indi- vidualists, still has 'heroes, and sometimes they do win. He’s not a bad player either. Mahovlich because he is a great player and because he’s shafted some of his more vocal critics at Maple Leaf Gardens. Beautiful again. I hope he continues to do so in the playoffs. I might add I’ve never been one of his detractors. Have (always admired him. Baun?

Used the Sauna. bath. Might as well take a shower at home, or a bath. But that’s life. I like Detroit because of five reasons. They are Gordie Howe, Carl Brewer, Frank Mahovlich, Bob Baun. and Roger Crozier. Because they’re great? Yes and no. Howe because he is great, perhaps the greatest, is drawing to the end of a fabulous career and is still going strong. Crozier because there {~55 also the time they were talking about him like they are now about Tony Esposito. And don’t count him out. ‘He’s still a great goalie. So, that's why I like Detroit. Strictly sentiment. ' What Detroit did by taking it easy, resting their key players, they all would have done. But on sec- ond thought there is a lot of sentiment in the NHL. They just spell the word different. They spell it “money”. WEIGHT FOR ME Always get a quiet chuckle whenever I see some- one get all excited about taking exercises, getting all that extra poundage off. Mind you, it’s a symp- athetic chuckle. As for Detroit’s somewhat ungraceful final game? No sentimental complaining here. 'The NHL may be a lot of things, it ain’t sentimental. Believe me. The Canadians have been a great team through the years, have won many a victory. So no tears. Besides, a little bitter defeat once in awhile some- times makes you a better man. Kind of seasons the ego. Takes the cockiness out of you. Could that have happened to me? Yes, you want to believe it. I can‘t really get too emotionally drenched at Montreal being ushered out in such unceremonious fashion. You have to make the playoffs, make any- thing, on your own merits. They had 70 games to do it but couldn’t. So they ended up where they deserved. Like the Leafs. It has to be Detroit Red Wings. Sure I know some of you are miffed about the Red Wings, the supposedly terrible thing they did to Montreal Can- adiens by bowing so ignominiously to New York Rangers on the final day of the season. Helping to boot The Canadiens out of playoff contention. I didn’t particularly like it either but I’ve managed to control my tears. Firstly. you can‘t escape it. It‘s NHL playoff time and all hockey fans are a-quiver as they prepare to blow their week’s wages betting for this team or that one. But not me. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If I bet on the sun rising tomorrow at 6 am or whatever ungodly h0ur it does, it would turn out to be the moon. But this doesn’t stop me from picking my fav- orite team, the one that’s my sentimental choice, strictly from the heart (and don’t snicker when I say heart). Strictly a smorgasbord today. Or, to be brutally realistic, a dog's breakfast. And I've had many of those. Many of these service problems that annoy motorists could have been avoided by adequate new car make-ready service at the dealer's garage. Some new car owners are “stuck” with having to. And another hundred for a badly-fitted door. And another hundred for a stubborn water leak. They often decide then they should have bought closer to home and chalk their lesson up to experience. A new car buyer who purchases out of his marketing area to "save" a few dollars on price, frequently saves nothing and robs himself of the driving satisfaction he paid for but didn’t get. When warranty is involved. costly diagnosis time and factory red-tape often make the work unprofitable. But a reputable dealer looks upon it as a customer-keep- ing necessity. A car buyer interested only in the “deal”, usually ends up with a dealer who feels the same way. And the dealer almost always gets the best of the bargain. Door adjustments. water leaks. rattles and dozens of other small problems that become big problems when they are neglected. fall under the responsibility of the selling dealer and are NOT covered by warranty.
