There are times when I actually enjoy writing this column. This has got to be one of those times. It’s even better when the readers get a break. This time out if they don‘t like the words, they can look at the pictures. You might ‘say I’m writing this particular effort because I like to embrace causes. I‘ve even been known to em- brace dogs. cats, horses, budgie birds and, on oc- casion. even human be- ings. I don‘t know, it’s just the way I am. VOL. 95, NO. 32 So I was completely over-whelmed the other day when two pretty young damsels came spinning through the re- volving doors at “The Liberal" (we don't ac- tually have any revolv- ing doors here but it‘s sort of a catchy phrase) and informed that yet another trouble spot had broken out in the world. The girls were 16-year- old Debbie Hughes of M Tarling‘ of Southview I grade 11 students. The trouble spot? Why it‘s at Langstaff Secondary School. I shrank back in horor. What could it be? I immedi- ately suspected an outbreak of women’s lib. the stud- ents were reading books on their own, or some such other horrible.

CONCORD'S TERRY TARLING I sat there .shivering as the grim story was unfolded to me. None of the brutal details were omitted. Debbie and Tamr were especially bemoaning the lack of student followers this season compared to last when they were stalwarts on the junior basketball team that went to the north-south high school champion- ship before being beaten out.

LIC. 456098 Dear Mr. Sports Editor: I feel I must write to heartilv endorse the sentiments express- ed by “A Concerned Mother” who wrote in last week‘s "Liberal". When I first started watching minor hockey. I was horrified and ashamed at what I saw of adult behavior at these games. I believe that sports should be played for enjoyment â€" sure. with a healthy will to win and the aim is improvement and per- fection of technique. Have you mmmuuumnmulmunmmmmmmmnumuuumuuuummm Low interest federal loans totalling $957,000 for Unlonville and Thornhill Ar- enas are approved through the federal governmenls re- gional economic expansion program. Barney Danson MP. York North told “The Liberal" last week. Of this. $583,000 is for a Unionviller area arena with seating capacity for Junior “B” hockey. says Markham Town Councillor Murray Henderson. There is 5374.000 for a Thomhill Arena. Sites are available but may yet be changed. The federal loans are 75“? forgiveable for tin-site labor costs before May 31. The loans are aimed at creating winter emplov- ment. The interest rate will be six percent. Councillor H e n d e 1'3 0 11 says the Markham Council has been split into two groups to work on the arena sites. "We have to jump on the bandwagon and do something pretty quickly. since we've got to finish by May 31. We‘ll have to see we‘re doing what's wanted and get something solid worked out fast.” he said.

But I diear that the All-Star suppor- jters are something else. A ‘mother has told me that she 'wouldn‘t dream of letting her son go to any out-of-town matches without her or his father. because of the dreadful ‘abuse the other supporting par- ents might heap upon him. What a reflection that is! I would like to say “Come on. you ‘supporters'. support. iencourage and applaud your lteam. Don‘t abuse them when filthey make mistakes. Instead of §‘â€" â€". you little â€"-.‘ what about “Oh. bad luck”? Aren‘t the little â€"-5 playing their hearts out down there on the ice?" That this parent remained anonymous is indicative of the repercussions to her son. My all- male family fully agrees with me on this subject. MONICA VERMEULEN. 33 Centre Street East.
