For you mernhers of the
fairer sex who aspire to
competitions and are
wearying of -the traditional
'queen' cdntests -'the place
to go this summer is-Aklavik
ti in Canada's Northwest
Territories.
Dont laugh! That's true,
The annual Northern Games
will be held there August 5 to
8.
The games .include four
days of feasting, drumming,
dancing and competitions
based on the ancient skills of
the Arctic. The events are
held mainly outdoors and
. include one -hand reach, head -
pull, knuckle -hopping for the
men, and for the women, a
"good woman" contest. .
This is no beauty contest,
but a chance for the women to
show the skills that make a
woman a good wife and
mother - like duck plucking,
tea boiling, muskrat skin-
ning, sewing and bannock
making.
This really points up my
ignorance - 1 knew tea could
be brewed or infused but
always understood it should
never be boiled.
Anyway, this small item
came to our desk courtesy of
the Canadian Government
Office of Tourism.

From up here
by Shelley McPhee
Some people are blessed with the gracefulness of a
swan, the gentleness of a dove,,the determination of a
beaver, the strength of a bull and the wiseness of an owl.
Then there are others who possess the gracefulness of
an aardvark, the gentleness of a wolverine, the deter-
mination of a rabbit, the strength of a worm, and the •
wiseness of a donkey. .,..,,
As much as I' hate to admit it, I have ben endowed
with the latter set of qualities. -
I'm not quite sure how it came about that I should be
more like an aardvark than of a swan, .but 1 -..-are. I
Cannot blame my parents for this deviation for I'm, sure
that they would hate to admit that they created such a
•person, but I think that it has more to do with fate,
something -that just grew with me.
For as long as°'I can remember, I've always been doing
•durnb things, like the ,time I fell off the stage during a
play or fell asleep at a previous job, during the busiest
time of day.
I have not confined myself to a few cases of •st-upid
things. How about the time that I went fishing and ended
'op getting lost in a bush for a day or the occasion of my
grade 10 class speech when my tiny' notes decided to.
leave my hands and scatter themselves under the
teacher's desk. "
I think though that if I had to choose my most qualified
field of inabilities, I would clearly pickrathletics.
In sports you need all of ,the qualities that I previously,
mentioned in order to play a good game and make a fair
showing, but no matter how 'hard I tried, I could just.
never quite make the grade.
As a consolation I blame my height as part of my
problem. In my days of swimming lessons I had to stick
to the shallow end while my peers paddled around in
water, three feet deep.
An attempt at basketball in high school ended me up as
an alto in the school choir. My,attempt at tennis left me,
without a raquet and with a latter, to retrieve all the balls
I lost on the school roof. My ambitious try at gymnastics
left me hanging upside down from the parallel bars and
extremely dizzy.
Fortunately, my athletic activities were curtailed in
college and the closest I got to sports at Ryerson was
•
dodging drunken' bodies at hockey games.
I have not given up in my attempt to be graceful, wise,
- 'determined and strong. Recently I have taken up tennis
again, and so far I've only lost two balls. ,
I tried some little theatre, only to discover that I can't
dance and sing at the same time. , "
Bicycling seemed simple enough, but I quickly
changed my mind when I realized that my sister's bike is
too high for me and the only .way I can get off ifis by
simply diving for the ground.
I tried to organize some spirit and social life at the
girl's residence I previously lived at; only to be elected as
Santa Claus when our. Christmas party took place.
I thought I'd like to be a singer and quickly- learned a
few tunes on my, guitar, only to find that no one else
wanted to listen to them.
But I will not give up my constant search for the grace'
of a swan, the gentleness of a dove, the determination of
a beaver, the strength of a bull and the wiseness of an
owl.
Anyone for football, or how about philosophy, maybe
modelling? .

Your IMPACT column is a
good service to the community
and I thank you for it.
I wonder if lou can do
something for me as I have a
complaint, thank you.
On March 2nd I ordered a
pair of shoes from LANOVER
PRODUCTS in Montreal
through an ad. I saw in the
National Enquirer., I sent
them a cheque as requested
for 59.95 which was promptly
cashed, but. 1 still haven't
received the shoes. I wrote a
letter of complaint before
eriting you, but that hasn't
ven been answered.
Since receiving this lady's
letter we have written twice
on her behalf, but alas, fared
no better, because ,our letters
too have been completely
ignored.
,We have' now turned the
particulars over to one of our
solicitors, and will let our
readers -know the outcome.
