The Grads had ad uncanny cohesion and coach Page ran a tight ship, establishing a. "farm system" which gradually moved players from high school- basketball positions on to the Gradettes, and finally the Grads. Page insisted on the importance of physical conditioning -- two practices weekly during the season, and no drinking or smoking. "You must play basketball, think basket- ball and dream basketball," he told his players, and they rewarded him with complete loyalty, and dazzling shooting skills. The Grads drew big crowds wherever they played, and over the years they travelled more than 200,000 km, attending four Olym- pic -related competitions in Paris, Amsterdam, Los Angeles and Ber- lin. Unfortunately for Canaria, basket- ball did not become a sanctioned event until .1976: In their exhibition THOMAS J. • WALL An investment Planner Who Remembers 1 tis Roots A.I.C.

The team financed itself from gate proceeds, but the players never received a penny. Their only motivation was a love of basketball. When one -of many Grad legends, Noel MacDonald, was inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 1971, she admitted that she was "not altogether comfortable" at being singled out. "We were a team," she said. "We were closer than sisters." - - When its playing facility was appropriated by the Royal Canadian Air Force as part of- the war effort in 1940, the Edmonton Grads dis- banded — every one of them a winner. James Naismith, the creator of the game, was a long-time fan of the Grads. He called them, quite simply "the finest basketball team that ever stepped out on a floor." Area pipers represent Lions at convention Lions and Lioness in Multiple District A, Ontario, Quebec, were successful in raising over $10,000 towards the expense of sending 27 members of the Five County Massed Pipe Band -to the 75th Lions International Convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as their representative. Grant Chisholm, on returning from the. convention, said it was a moving site to see the MDA band marching 115th "between Central America and Bulgaria. There were 138 entries in the parade that took four hours to pass any given point. The band, comprised of members from. Huron, Bruce, Perth, Grey and Wellington counties brought home a third prize for a, marching unit. They were under the direction of Pipe Major John Wise of 'Clinton. The group turned over their prize money to Lions Sight First Project. The project is a` major world work of the Lions to eradicate unneces- sary blindness, said Mr. Chisholm. It is .estimated 80 per cent of blindness can be prevented. • Mr. Chisholm said rio one. would have believed a few years ago that places like Estonia, • Ukraine, Romania, Poland and Russia would be welcomed to International Lions conventions. - Actress -and dedicated humanitarian, Liv Ullmann; was the keynote speaker and gave a hard hitting message to the 35,000 Lions and Lioness registered at 'the con- vention.
