The facilities committee of the board also met the same evening and offered a compromise for the ice schedule, but it was not to the liking of the 10 -team league. Last year, the men's rec loop played four games, starting at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday and 10:00 p.m. on Thursday. The original schedule given them by the board for this season called for starting at 10:00 p.m. on both nights and at 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday. In their compromise offer on Tues- day, the facilities committee had moved the starting time back to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday and again had of- fered the prime hours open after 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. Past president Larry Johns ex- plained that the schedule would have resulted in some teams not com- pleting their games until after 1:00 a.m. and that was considered too late.

He indicated that while the league decided to fold, that final decision may be held in abeyance until it is determined whether ice can be Aerospace Continued from front page what the two men were talking about. In subsequent discussion with Bartlett, Shaw said he ascertained that the Bell employee was concern- ed that Cardiff's reputation was be- ing attacked. In his letter to council, Bartlett ex- plained that Cardiff had worked close- ly with the firm over the past few months and had arranged meetings in Ottawa in last ditch efforts to avoid the closing. "In my opinion, Mr. Cardiff should not be placed in a defensive position but rather applauded for his concern and action," Bartlett explained. Hoogenboom indicated he couldn't understand the response from the plant duo as he had only suggested that Cardiff be questioned on why the firm had not been invited to bid on the hovercraft order. "I just asked a question; I don't see anything wrong with that", he added. In their letters, Barlett and Helm differed in their opinions on the effect of not being asked to even bid on the job. Bartlett said that the Canadian decision to buy off -shore, without of- fering his firm the opportunity to bid, was a serious blow. Helm said the off- shore purchase "would have had lit- tle impact in the future of the company." Council decided to file the two let- ters. There has been no response from Cardiff as yet over the question pos- ed to him. secured at other area arenas. At their meeting, 'Tuesday, the league elected Dave Urlin as presi- dent, with Dave Atthill as vice- president. Other executive members, who may have a short reign this year are: secretary Jeff Musser, treasurer Jamie Gaul, referee convener Jerry Smith, tournament convener Gerald Weido and statistician Larry Johns. The men's rec loop has been in ex- istence for 16 years and this year would have involved about 175 people. Their decision to fold will have an impact of between $300 and $350 per week on the rec centre revenues. The open ice time on Saturday represents a similar amount in revenue that is not being generated. No stabilization for some hogs The National Tripartite Hog Stabilization Committee today releas- ed 1986 second-quarter figures confir- ming that no stabilization payment has been triggered for hogs sold in April, May and June. The national average market price,$72.32, exceeded the support price, $67.96, mainly due to higher prices and low feed costs. The buoyant market beginning in the mid- dle of the quarter contributed to the positive situation. Re ently, hog prices have risen to historic highs. Over 80 per cent of hog producers in the participating provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario have enrolled in the voluntary tripartite program. They represent about half of Canada's hog production.
