CHESS TIME
Napoleon
won games
to order
By JOSEPH MILL BROWN
After Boris Spassky's job on
Robert Byrne in the Candi-
dates Chess quarter -final,
Newsweek International in-
formed its readers that not
only was the former champ
alive and well, but that we'd
better brace ourselves for a
reprise of Iceland '72.
Spassky's comportment
was described in the kind of
tones usually reserved for
'Cary Grant. The modern
chess scene, in fact, seems to
be acquiring the aura which
the game enjoyed in earlier
periods of history, when both
society and royalty cultivated
it as it did ballet and art.
To commemorate the fa
mous Paris Exposition of
1867, a great international
chess tournament was organ
-
bed in which the chief prite,
aside from money, was a
magnificent Severes vase
given by the Emperor him -
ten. The tournament was won
by Ignatz Kolisch, who appar-
ently made the right connec-
tions, for he soon gave up the
exciting life of a poverty-
stricken chess pro to go into
business, where he became
just another millionaire and
baron. •
Not all chess masters are
that short-sighted. The fact
that he.was born into wealth
did not keep Alexander Alek-
line from fallowing his Star
into history as one of jhe
game's greatest. Indeed, dos-
er looks at many titans of in-
dustry and heads of state
leave the feeling that inaiiy, if
given the choice, would rather
rule the chess world than their
personal fiefdoms.
At the Manila tournament,
last fall (won by Demnark's
Bent Larsen), President Fer-
dinand Marcos, of the Philip-
pines, was photographed
•grnrnng hapPily while play-
ing chess with Bobby Fischer,
sixtieth* Henry Kissinger
probably can't get to do with
even a janitor in the French
National Assembly.
At the 1950 Olympiad, in
Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, the
extroverted Argentine grand-
mastef, „MiguelAs1;440offf,
achieved even greater fame
by being photographed slap-
ping Marshal Tito on the
back.
"President Peron taheit
great interest,* our times 4C-
tivities," boomed Najdorf.
"He usually opens our
events."
"I," responded Tito, "pre-
fer to have the last word."
Tito's special interest in the
game makes it easy for chess
pros to carry their heads high
in Yugoslavia, which is sec-
ond only to the Soviet Union in
its couunitment. Thus, it is a
rare day when a westerner
can win from a Yugoslav - as
at the ricent Hoogoven tour-
nament, in Holland, when 21 -
year -old Jun Tarjan, of Sher-
man Oaks, California, ob-
tained his International Mas-
ter title after a One win (see
below) over Bojan Kurajica.
In the western world, the
bastions are Holland and Ger-
many, where a career in
chess is looked on by young-
sters there as a life in baseball
is by the kids here. At the 1958-
59 Hastings (England) Chess
Congress, the West German
ambassador confided that he
once played on his school's
chess team. But his headmas-
ter decided that his muscles
were developing faster than
his brain, and so transferred
him out of chess and into ath-
letics.
' In one respect, therefore,
today's chess pro is allowed to
be as good as he can be. That
famous chess amateur, Napo-
leon Bonaparte, made it diffi-
cult (or his opponents by in-
sisting on winning every
game. •
But VIPs, nowadays, are
more realistic about their
chess ambitions, undoubtedly
sensing the truth of &merest
Maugham's observation: the
difference between the ama-
tent 40d the Profeaosional ss
that the latter has the caw-
itY to Progre&s.

Metric destination signs
erected on Ont. highways,
Honourable John R. Rhodes,
minister of transportation and
commtmications, has announced
that 21 metric destination signs
will be erected on Ontario's
highways, signalling the start of
a six-year program to convert the
Migstry's operations to the met-
ric,ordtetn
grist mot -OW operates
Balmoral Grist 1%11 in nOrthern
Neva Scotia- capttkes the .sights
and sounds of a 150 -year-old
milling operation, taking ' the
visitor back to an,era When flour
provided a major Source of food ,
to early settlers.
• Located at 'Balmoral Mills, six
miles from the Northumberland
Strait beach area, the restored
mill is open daily from mid-May
to nid-October. It is operated as
a provincialbistoric museum and
admission is free.
The first thing that impresses
visitors is the serenity of the set-
ting. The mill ' sits in a
tree -covered gorge, with the
sparkling waters of Matheson's
Brook rumiing through. Sunlight
plays through the leaves of the
tall trees and the sound of song
birds creates a world that leaves
the noise and bustle of ntodern
day living far behind. The
stream's waters cascade over
15 -foot falls, revolving the two -
ton overshot water wheel which
generates the power to turn mill
stoma weighing a ton and a half.
Inside the mill, the same stones
that ground wheat, barley and
oats for some of Nova Scotia's
pioneers in 1830, are still pro -
dicing flour that is free of addi-
tives. It can be purchased by to-
day's visitors and converted into
home-made goodies that grand -
Mother would have trouble re-
sisting.
Balmoral Mill was not the first
one in Nova Scotia, but Nova
Scotia does hold the distinction of
having the first water -powered
grist mill- in North, America. It
wass built at the mouth of the
LeQuille River in Annapolis
County (at the other end of •the
province Y in 1607. Others were
established at later times, but did
not become prevalent until two
centuries later.
Grist Mills played an important
part in Canada's economy in that
bygone era -since the flour they
produced prpvided a necessary
item intim diets of early settlers.
Since they lacked the money to
buy flour, they raised their own
grain and ground it themselves.
Most of the grinding was done
by primitive hand- mills, but it
was an arduous and time-con-
suming task. Eventually, small
waterpowered mills were built on
most suitable streams in the
Province. Millers usually ground
the grain for a portion of the flour
or meal, and money was seldom
exchanged.
The mill at Balmoral was
operated by the presentmiller,
Archie MacDonald, until the
1950's. Mr. MacDonald still acts
as guide for visitors to the mill.
Restoration began in 1964 by an
interested group of local citizens
who formed The Sunrise Museum
Limited. The provincial govern-
ment became involved in the
actual restoration work while the
provincial department of lands
and forests constructed picnic
faoillivier, in adjoining sylvan
parkland donated by local resi-
dents. It is administered by the
Nova Scotia Museum in Halifax.

The conversion factor is 1.6 km.
equals 1 mile, 'therefore, 16 kilo-
metres equals to miles -or
breaking it down further, eight
kilometres equals five miles.-
. °rite signs will be Iodated on
major highways near such
centres as Hamilton, North Bay,
Ottawa, Toronto, Thunder Bay
and on. highways near principal
border crossing points. - -
All ten provintes and the fed-
eral government are working to
an agreed plan with a target date
of September, 1977 for changing
all highway signs in Canada.
No changes in posted speed
limits from miles per hour
(m.p.h.) to kilometres per hour
(km -h), or on other regulatory
signs will be made before Sep-
tember, 19/7.
When speed limit conversions
are made, they will likely be
changed to round numbers in
kilometres per hour, such as 50
km -h in place of 30 m.p.h. or 100
km -h in place of 60 m.p.h.
Metric speedometers are al-
ready found on many imported.
cars and motorcycles, and will
soon be a feature on new domes-
tic automobiles. When the
changeover takes place, conver-
sion stickers will be available for
older vehicles.
In terms Of each car on the
road, MTC experts estimate' the
cost of changing road signs, pro-
viding speedometer stickers and
driver education at no more 'than
$2.00 per vehicle. Where possible,
road signs will be Changed byt
using economical overlap
erS.
Planning for metric conversion.
on Ontario's highways has been
.under way since the federal gov-
ernment announced in January,
1970 that conversion was an ob-
jective of Canadian policy over
the next decade: .
The plans of the various On-
tario Ministries are being coor-
dinated by the Metric Office
within the ministry of industry
and tourism.
All ten provinces co-operated in
development of a national plan
for metric changeover of high-
way constriction and operations
and this plan was adopted in
October, 1973 at the annual con-
vention of the Roads and Trans-,.
portation Association of Canada.
Adoption of the metric system
will bring Canada in line with the
system of Measurement already ,
in use by all major countries
outside of North America. The
logp "GO Metric" has been
chosen to designate • the Minis-
try's implementation program. t

MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION and Communications
crews have erected 21 'Metric destination signs along major
highways throughout the province signalling the start of a

to be changed to metrics by September, 1977.
is a rare group of mosaics whos
cells are half Mongoloid and hal
normal. These may function at a
normal level.
It was some time before home
care was considered for this
group because it was easily
identified at birth. With the
advent of more modern medicine
and knowledge they are living
longer lives where, previously,
they rarely reached adulthood.
Aside from the obvious prob-
lems, the retarded child may also
meet up with problems such as
over protection.or rejection.
The biggest factor in determin-
ing whether a retarded child can
live his life as "normally" as
possible is attitude;. the attitudes
of his family, his ommtmity and
society. That is where you come
in.
Several businesses in Mount
Forest are supporting a program
whereby Mrs. Pickard's pupils
visit business operations and, in
some cases, work on the job they
have seen performed,.
They spent an afternoon at
* •
e deal of their time to visiting the
f students and assisting Mrs.
Pickard in teaching the pupils
over the past eight months.
Brenda, who has worked at the
Midwestern Regional Centre,
near Palmerston during her
summer breaks, wishes to be a
teacher of retarded children as a
career. Cathy wants to be a social
worker.
liftenda says, "These kids need
volunteers to work alongside
them, not money for a lot of
equipment. Most of my friends
feel that getting t� know these
children is an experience no one
Could want to miss."
Cathy says, "These children
are affectionate and easy to talk
to. Working with them and get-
ting to know 'them has helped me
cultivate more patience&and un-
derstanding and that is just what
these kids need to learn to live
their lives as productively and
happily as they can."
It's a tvvo-way street when you
get to ,know the mentally handi-
capped.- You'll probably, learn
more about yourself, too. Ask at
byouriNlibrary op ribookstokc for
n: tinolga about the, inentaltbt.re-
tarded, such as "Hope Through
Doing" by Norman J. Heard, and
"When Children Need Help" by
Davia Melton.
But, the hundreds of books
written about them cannot bring
you to these children and allow
them into your heart or you into
theirs.
When we open the doorof so-
ciety. to these children, like
Nancy and Deborah, two of Mrs.
Pickard's pupils, and learn to
know them, they are going to give
us so much and the debt will be so
great. How are we ever going to
pay them back?
Freiburger's Food Store and took

Koehler, managerAtt the -store
says, "I certainly thinkAit iS a
good program and should be con-
tinued. I would recommend it to
other businesses, too. We enjoyed
it as much as the kids. For them
it was something different."
The program will continue and
any businesses interested in
receiving a visit from Mrs. Pick-
ard's class should contact her at
the Mount Forest High School.
The move from Tollgate to the
high school has had another great
advantage, this time for the high
school students. Students sech as
Cathy Hiller and Brenda John-
ston have had the opportunity to
work with the 'children and the
experience has provided them
with the knowledge that they
wish to continue in a profession
that would bring them close to the
mentally handicapped.
