U.C.W. members - don't forget the business meeting Tuesday. September 8 at 8 p.m. Minors could pay more for equipment The National League recently stunned North American hockey equipment manufacturersby announcing a new program that could ultimately result in minor hockey players paying more •for their gear. Th NHL announced a new "Branded Equipment Program (BEP)" that could cost suppliers up to $6 million annually and local sports dealer Jerry MacLean suggests that the cost would probably be added on to equipemt sup- pled to retailers by the manufacturers., Under the proposal, no hockey equipment brand names will be allowed on NHL players unless • respective companies register' • s participants in the BEP program. There's an up -front fee to par- ticipate, ranging from $50,000 for helmet .manufacturers to 815,000 for sweater manufacturers. These fees have nothing to do with utilization for the NHL crest in advertising -- they are simply to have a brand identification remain un the product while it is being used in the NHL. Manufacturers have Rebelled at the idea, in- cluding a further proposal that they provide NHL teams with free equipment.

Sunday morning worship will be resumed in the United Church on Sunday at 11:15 a.m. The chance of an N.N.L. hockey team scoring a goal while one man short is 35 to program could result in minor hockey players paying from 810 to $15 million -more for equipment annually. The Collingwood man suggests it is a greedy grab for more dollars by the NHL. He told the T -A this week that the NHL have decided against the plan to ask for free equipment in view of the opposition by the manufacturers and dealers across the country, but the BEP program has been sent back to the NHL board of governors for further deliberations. Sports Distributors of Canada Ltd., a buying group to which MacLean belongs, has voiced its objection, noting that it would sub- stantially increase costs to the consumer for hockey equipment and would deter participation in minor hockey programs.

Dear Mary Jane: Last weekend was good fun. 1 really enjoyed seeing the pictures of your white water rafting trip. I still think you should send them to- the newspaper. Can you believe, summer is almost over. One more week and peace will reign again in our houses. This peace will not come for free, as you well know, what with back to school clothes and books and all, but it will certainly be worth every penny. Let's go to Festival Square in Stratford on Sat. We arrived there so late, the lap time we barely had an hour to shop .before closing time. Ragamuffin on the second floor [you didn't see this shop last time] has everything for the little rotters from Christening dresses to jeans and reallypretty dresses and tops. You'll want to stay for hours just playing with the beautiful dolls, puppets, and really good toys. You mentioned that Val loves kilts. Ragamuffin has a full line to choose from. By the way, should someone ask you what he should buy me for our anniversary, as he usually does, you can tell him that I'd love to have an Antique Ivory Dowry bracelet or an Angel Skin coral necklace. I'll show you exactly the ones I like at Phoenix on the main floor of the Square. 1 understand that they have the finest collection of antique ivory jewellery in North America. [Can you imagine that, in a plate so close t, home and not Toronto or New York]. They also have fabulous Antique Mongolian jewellery, Red, as well as Angel Skin Coral, and British Columbian Jade. Oh, I almost forgot your special passion; they have a large selection of wicker furniture, plus so much more. I know you will want to go to Gordon's Ladies' Wear again. The one thing I'm buying for myself for sure this weekend is a Sheffler-Hillman pure wool skirt.' It will probably be my last chance. The S.H. plant is closing after more than 100 years of making beautiful clothes.. You know what I always maintain - a good wool skirt or suit is an absolute must in a wardrobe, and it will look good forever. Gordon's don't charge an arm and a leg either, as you noticed the last time we were there. Sally asked me to pick up a men's wear shirt [made for women] for her, she just loves the two I have. 1 guess we had better spend some time on the brats. We can get notebooks and pens and stuff in town during the week, but I promised to get some Coles notes for my nephew along with a list of books as long as my arm, but that won't take king. Oh, 1 almost forgot. We can't miss Stephenson's, on the main floor. They have another section on the second floor across from the Ragamuffin. I get really unique gift ideas and always end up buying something from their Gourmet Kitchenware line, not to mention their imported crystal and antiques. just a great place to browse around in. 1 always feel I could make my kitchen a joy to work in, with just a little effort on my part and some help from Stephenson's. Oops! Our stomachs. Can you believe I, of all people, could forget food! We can lunch in the Terrace Restaurant in the Square. It is bright and airy with lots of plants, and windows that give a great view of the city. The food is really good too. If you are determined to diet, you can have a cocktail and a salad while I gorge myself as usual. So many people don't bother going into places like Festival Square because they assume it is going to be expensive. We certainly found that is not the case where Festival Square is concerned. We would have missed out on great buys, interesting stores and quality merchandise at reasonable prices. See you Sat. Your turn to drive this month. By the way, how about some shopping ideas from you. I've kept no secrets, so be prepared to own up.
