The C.F.L. Grey Cup final is over. The
Edmonton Eskimos have taken home the
Championship cup for the third successive
year. The Tiger-Cats of Hamilton had their
claws clipped and their bite rendered
ineffective by the formidable Eskies. The
outstanding performance of Moon, the
Eskimo quarter' back, and the all-out effoi t
of his teammates took control of the game
and never lost it. Iviiarier of the Ti-Cats
lacked enough experience as a quarterback
to enable him to cope wiht the situations he
faced from the defending champions. One
had to feel a great deal of sympathy for him.
He must have been frustrated and bewilder-
ed. Ho probably wished himself anywhere
but on the field quarter-Wicking a team that
had lost the ability to score a touchdown.

Now that we are all energy conscious, and
want to keep the thermostat as low as
possible and yet keep warm, here' is a tip.
Drapes, especially lined ones, help to
insulate windows. In the winter they should
be drawn just after the stin goes down. That
keeps heat in and cold out.

Everyone should know by now that alcohol
and driving simply do not mix. It is reported
that half of road traffic victims had been
drinking when they are injured. A report in
"The Journal," also tells us that alcohol not

accidents. It also reduces the chance of

'pecause it interferes with the body's defence
against bacteria. Trauma victims are more
susceptible to bacterial infection than any
other patient undergoing surgery. Wounds
in,traffic accidents are suffered in conditions
that favour infection. If the white blood cells,
whose function it is to devour bacteria, are
full of alcohol, they couldn't care less if they

They may let you die if you do.

Lucky are the children whose 'parents
teach them to notice and appreciate the
wonders and beauty of nature. Well,
remembered are many such things from .
childhood. Taken from bed, in the dark of
evening to watch "The Lights" dancing in
the Northern Sky, a mysterious, wondrous
sight in the eyes of a child; a rainbow shining
its bright promise through a misty rain
washed landscape; walking down a country
lane to-be lifted high on a father's shoulder
to • watch, half a field away, three young I
foxes roll and tumble in play while their
mother, with head poked out of their earthy
home, watched her children at play; taken to
the woods in the spring tq see the wild
flowers in blue and the wood's little animals,
or in the fall' to gather the nuts of the beech
tree, so delicious in homemade maple Candy;
seeing, with parents, at close of day, the
evening sun set, as often as possible
standing at the edge of lake, fascinated '
when the spreading rays of sunlight painted
the sky as the sun sank below the waves on
the far horizon; watching the storm-tossed
lake with tumultous waves roaring and
hissing, an awesome sight; listening to the
Cheerful chirping of crickets in the grats,
and songbirds in the trees. How much
youngsters miss when they are not taught to
enjoy the beautiful things of nature]
