Final Race of the season will
be held Oct. 7 at 7:45 p.m.
Aren't you glad this week
you're a Canadian? Don't you
wish everybody was?
Wasn't that just the greatest
three periods of hockey you ever
saw in your lives last Tbsrsday
when the Canadians took the
Russians in the last couple of
minutes of play? Didn't you feel
just a little bit safer when you
went to sleep that night?
You know what I mean. It
seems that lately, the Russians
are supreme at everything. In
the Olympics, it was Russia this,
and Russia that. In the space
race, it is Russia you have to
beat. In the arms race, Russia is
a kind of unknown quantity, In
people services (now don't give
me any argument on this)
Russia leads the way with
things-to-think-about.
It just made me sick to think
that Russia could wipe the ice
with our hockey players. And
that's the way it appeared in
those first few games here in
Canada. Our boys looked whip-
ped and ekhausted beside the
top-conditioned Russian squad.
Heavens, I thought. They even
play our national game better
than we do!
When I watched those
Russians racing back and forth
over the ice surface, I thought
about all the good, solid
nutrition it took to keep them
that way. No french fries and
hotdogs like our fellows.
Probably raw fish and rare beef
with plenty of cabbage to make
it slip down! Vodka? Maybe a
little, but I fancied I could see
the Russian team drinking
goat's milk and yogurt for a
midnight snack. You don't get
to be he-men like that on orange
ade and cookies.
And then there was Phil
Esposito's speech after the
fourth game in Canada. Boy,
did I feel like a rotter, I was one
of those fans (well, not really an
avid fan) who expected more
from our NHL stars than they'd
produced. I had hoped we'd
teach the Soviets a thing or two
while they were in our country,
and as it turned out, they taught
us not to be so all-fired smug
and to get down to basics - like
diet, exercise, fresh air and hard
work.
And Phil told it like it was.
He said he and the boys were
doing the best they could and if
that wasn't good enough for the
fans, then tough toe-nails to
them! (I nearly crawled under
the sofa cushion in shame!)
So we went to Russia, more
determined than ever to win. I
think maybe Phil and the boys
said, "Let's show those faithless
fans in Canada what we can do.
Let's make them eat crow. It
will look good on them."
By the fourth game on the
Russian ice, we had tied up the
series. As the hockey commen-
tator said, it wasn't a series any
more. It was a sudden-death
contest to see who was best.
For the first time, I began to
see a glimmer of hope for the
Canadian boys, The Russians
may be tough. They may be
strong. They may be con-
ditioned, They may know how
to shoot and to pass and to sink
that puck in the net. But by
golly, they haven't had as much
practice as our fellows at
producing under pressure, and
they may just weaken a little -
enough to give Team Canada
the edge.
I don't know whether the
Russians weakened or not. It
didn't look like it to me,
although they looked more
tuckered than I'd seen them
before. But there was a
difference in attitude. You could
feel it in our livingroom,
thousands of miles away from
where the action was, Our boys
were alive and fighting for
something real and precious,
The Russians performed like
robots, programmed to shoot

and to pass but denied the
Pleasure of truly getting into the
game with heart and soul.
Our team was electrified, The
Soviets were simply redeting to
a situation.
When Paul Henderson tipped
that puck into the Russian goal
late in the third period, I
thought I'd die. Big tears welled
up in my eyes because I knew
those Canadian hockey players
were giving this country
something more important than
a win. In that last period of
hockey, Team Canada pulled
the nation together unlike any
bi-lingual, bi-cultural scheme
could ever do.
In that few moments, I
realized that Canada isn't just a
country abutting the USA. It
isn't just another nation in a
world of many nations, No, gosh
darn it, I thought, Canada is
MY country and those team
members are MY countrymen
and those fans standing there in
that Moscow arena singing 0
Canada are expressing MY sen-
timents. And what's more, for
one time the Russians are going
to know about US — and
respect US. How about that?
The Clinton Junior Farmers
held their monthly meeting in
the form of a roller skating
party followed by a short
meeting in the Board rooms of

and Food,
Mrs, Lois Jones presided over
the meeting and Linda Reed
