And his stomach get. bigger and bigger. But do I exercise you say? Certainly do. Every morning. mostly that is. I've been missing a few weekends lately. It’s been my misfortune to have suffered from food poisoning for the past few week- ends. Strange. It goes away during the week but always returns on the weekend. Terrible luck I’ve been having. It weakens you after awhile. JUSt getting out of bed Monday morning is plenty enough exercise on these occasions. Oh, well. It's slap my wrist time again. In last week's write-up on the Richmond Hill hockey tournament I forgot to mention that Ottawa Slack Shack‘s were Consolation “A” winners and Hamilton, Consolation “B”, (I hope). Ottawa also deserves special mention because the team stayed around for the whole tournament thereby losing out on a chance to play in a similar deal way out in Dauphin, Manitoba. The tournament executive thanked the Slack Shacks for remaining in the tournament and contributing to its success. So do we. Real sportsmanlike gesture. :2 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill.

Mrs. Ruth Cowan, 47 Church Street North, called to say she had received several thank you calls from here and there from young lads who stayed at her home during the téurnâ€" ament. Also some letters. Mrs. Cowan, billeted and fed 15 hockey players during the tournament. That's a lot of eating. Six of the Fort Erie team boys stayed over the entire tournament even though their team whs elminated. That’s hospitality for you. She received a letter from the Sudbury team thanking her for her efforts. The letter says in part that “we enjoyed the tournament in Richmond Hill more than any other tournament we’ve attended.” Finally. Russell Cripps and Vern Dynes of The Dynes Jewellers Fastball team, attended the annual OASA meeting in Peterborn on the weekend. Russ was elated because a ruling was passed barring hurlers from jumping off the pitching mound before releasing the ball. Long a complaint of “Casey‘s”.

They undertook a campaign with “not only a dif- ferent twist. but a meritorious one." They formulated plans for a project that will include an en- tire complex at an estimated cost of $4.5 million. Phase 1 will be a field house designed to Olympic specifica- tions, with a 220 metre track. a 50 metre swimming pool with diving platforms up to ten metres, a triple gymnasium, a central area which can cater to a Wide range of community, social and student activities. and seating capacity for 2.000 spectators. Cost of the field house is estimated at about 5750.000 and the students are out in force looking for pledges and cash donations. A unique feature of the faci- lity is the translucent vinyl air-supported "bubble" which will cover the entire 87,000 square foot structure.

During the past few years, Joan has been runner-up for the trophy but this year with Auâ€" drey Graydon, Peggy Welsh and Faye Weiss curling for her, she was invincible. Ironically Joan beat out Jen Miller of Oshawa to capture the honors. The Calypso Bonspiel was held March 21 and from all re- ports the curlers enjoyed the‘ various activities. Top prize of two live lobsters went to Mur- ray Meeres and his rink of Peggy Welsh, Ed Hay and Mary Jane Murphy. Second prize was won by Will Simpson and his rink of Shirley Bruce. Larry Lang and Cathy Richards. Bob Thompson with Shirley Lash, Bob McGregor and Doris Bon- yon were third prize winners. The second draw was won by Dalt Hicks and his rink of Norma Lavender, John John- ston and Muriel Clarke; second prize went to Ed Baines, Sadie Lucas, Shirley Hicks and Max Berman; and the third went to the foursome of Bill McLeod, Mary Barrow, Harold Elkins and Janet rDhovmpson. Jim Stephenson and his com- mittee, assisted by Bob and Dianne Whittaker deserve a special thank you for a good day. The closing spiel is planned for the coming weekend.

Dr. Frederick Mink- ler. chairman of the board of governors commented, “I hope you are as enthused about the student program as we are.

Dr. Minlder conceded that when the student committee came forward with the plan. which will ultimately provide a complex for both outdoor and indoor sports and recreational facilities. seating for over 4,000 participants. and parking for over 3,000 vehicles‘ “We thought it was too rich for their blood. that they were dreaming." However, Dr. Minkler con- tinued. "We caught a part of their dream. their confidence in the future of the college. of their own future. which would ensure the success ot‘ this pro- ject." Everyone agreed that it was most successful and many spec- tators were seen rooting for their favorites, such as “Slim” Weiss and his rink of Faye Weiss, Bill and Joan Kirkpa- trick. Having lost their first two games, Bob insisted on skipping the final game and after a great deal of heLp from many curlers, he scrambled to vicbory.

"but we are not going to take over. It is. and is going to remain the responsibility of the students." Dr. John McCarthy. Deputy Minister of Education. assured the students and guests. “The Minister heartily endorses the students‘ power not only to deâ€" monstrate their energies. but to work as part of the community." The student plan to involve the community in the fund raisâ€" ing as well as in participation in the activities of the centre, said Dr. McCarthy. are in keep- ing with the philosophy of set- ting up community colleges in the first plac‘e. "This is a fine demonstration of the students‘ desire to pass on something to the community. though you here today may have very little use of it your- selves." Student Council President Alan Alyard added that in a day when youth is said to he in re- bellion. the students of Seneca look upon the sports centre as a step to a positive goal. “We are asking for a respon- sible position in our society. We are asking for moral support as Well‘as financial support.” ABC BOWLING The Arrows lead the race by the narrow margin of two points with only two more‘ nights of the regular season remaining.

How do you get more MPGâ€"choose an economical car! What makes a particular car an “economy” model? These are the main considerations: Fk Size and weight. Today's American/Canadian cars range in weight from 2,500 to 5,000 lbs. Most imports are lighter. For example, aiApgtisAun 1600 De Luxe with * Engine size. It is measured by the amount of cylinder volume that is displaced by the engine, the greater its powerâ€"and the greater its gasoline consumption. The Datsun 1600 cc. overhead cam engine develops 96 HP and can propel the car to 100 MPH. [f you choose your car on the basis of the most economical engine size. power-to-weightâ€"ratio and transmission, you must also consider the performance you can expect. A small engine in a big, heavy car with automatic transmis- sion ,often means disappointing pickup and top speed. On the other hand. a similar sized engine in a smallish car will give you far better performance. The Datsun 1600 offers the best of both worldsâ€"power, performance, size and economy that‘s just right for the average Canadian driver. And it has all the “extras” as standard.
