In that re- spect, things haven't changed too much. At the Candidates' chess semifinal, in Leningrad, Boris S assky scored an early point against Anatoly Karpov, who then won a postponement of the next game because of "ill- ness." illness." Karpov stormed back to grab a 2-1 lead, and it quickly became Boris' turn to play musical medical chairs. Nor was it surprising that Tigran Petrosian, on the edge of defeat to Victor Korchnoi, resigned their match from a hospital bed. If the tension in big-time chess accelerates, a player will soon choose his seconds from among surgeons with an aptitude for heart trans- plants. The proliferation of tournaments across the globe hasn't helped. A Federal Avi- ation Agency study some years ago warned that, among others, chess players and race horses "are' not at their intellectual or physical best the first few days after arriving from a region four or more time zones away." Victor Korchnoi's new vi- tality reportedly stems from his determination to give up smoking and drinking. If he becomes Bobby Fischer's challenger, the champ should consider playing the patch at the Paul Masson Vineyards in Satatoga (San Jose), Calif., site of the company's Memo- rial Day weekend chess tour- nanient. The wine cellars might provide pleasant relief from the soda pop (inevitable in any Fischer entourage), and might diminish the So- viet's penchant for. all-night game analysis. Should the middle-aged Korchnoi (he was born in Len= ingrad; in 1931) make it to the suzflinit,,_the :9$tendant jour- nalists -will, probably include the chess correspondent for the American Medical Asso- ciation; the Russian's flaring ulcers are almost as famous as Fischer's sensitive ears. Indeed, the alibis in most chess tournaments are invari- ably medical. After Bent Larsen's 6A loss to Fischer, the Dane told one • journalist his mistake was to play in Denver where, he claimed, the. heat and dry air affected him no end. But a year later, at San Antonio, Tex., it was the inclement weather that was responsible for his mediocre showing. (It left him with a head cold and a backache.) Novelists love to dwell on the psychosomatic aspects of chess defeat. "Winnie the Pooh" author, A.A. Milne,. hinted at ulcers when he wrote, "It is impossible to win gracefully at chess. No man has said mate in a voice which failed to sound to his opponent bitter, boastful and mali- cious" - and which will often turn a cool, coherent mind into a collapsed bundle of nerves. It remained, however, for E. M. Forster to identify with the potzer who experiences a sense of drowning when he Too much perfume tips off authorities A seven -member Toronto gang which operated a $140,000' drug smuggling operation between Britain and Canada is in jail because one of the three girl couriers wore too much perfume. The girls used strong per- fume to cover the scent of liquid cannabis which was strapped around their bodies under their mod clothing, but the perfume worn by .one . of. the girls returning from Morocco was so pronounced that it arroused the suspicions of a ship's steward and she was followed and eventually -... the whole gang was arrested. ..t, CROSSWORD. 4. + + By A.

Gone are the days when had to fight to get how science courses established in Ontario schools, when their energetic founder and leader, Mrs. Adelaide Hunter Hoadless, conducted a fund-raising cam- paign to establish MacDonald In, stitute, now part of the University of Guelph. They're the Federated Wo- men's Institutes of Canada, Just as concerned about the quality of life today as they were in 1.897 when the organization was founded, the women submitted a brief to the Royal Commission on the Status of Women dealing with marriage and divorce, women in the labor force, and taxation as it pertains to married women. They have sent submissioas -lotions to, various departments dealingwith health services, the aged, water poll*, tion, agricultural retrainingp grams and educational televi- sion, They've set up a Northern Canada Women's Institute Fund to continue adult education for r woen of the north. Another of their ongoing and continuous projects carries the motto `Make, and keep Canada beautiful', ' And it all started when Mrs. Adelaide Hunter Hoodless of Hamilton, Ont., recognized a need for education .atnong rural women. The first meeting of the FWIC was held in Stoney Creek, Ont., on February 19, 1897. The FWIC is now established in all 10 provinces, the Yukon and Mrs. Adelaide Hunter Hoodless, 1857-1910, *founder of the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada. A rose named in her honor was developed by Agriculture Canada plant breeder Henry H. Marshall and is on the market for the first time this year. Northw et. Territories. hotly, a. new Canadian rose was named in honor Mrs. Hood+♦ Developed .by plant breeder Drs Hetes HT Marshall of Agriculture Canada's Mord, Mart., Re- search Station, the Adelaide Hoodiert rose was Mimed to the Canadian Ornamental Plant Foundation in 1972, the year of the FMC's 75th anniversary, The Adelaide Heedless rose Is hardier than other red I'M culti- vars of the floribunda class. A vigorous, upright, open shrub, it grows, about foul feet tall, and has only a few spines. Its glossy, normal green foliage iS medium sized with seven leaflets per leaf and is moderately resistant to blackspotand mildew. The rose blooms continuously and profusely from June right through to the autumn frosts. Its flowers arein clusters of up to 25 blooms, semi -double to double with about 25 petals measuring 2.5 inches in diameter when fully open, medium red in color, faintly fragrant and long-lasting as a cut flower. Only one 'Canadian nursery is selling the Adelaide Hoodless rose this year, although demand is expected to be strong, especi- ally from the approximately 55,000 FWIC members. It is ex- pected that more nurseries will carry the rose next year. Boost tractor horsepower, To many farmers in Ontario, increasing the size of the farm usually means there is a need to switch to bigger machinery in, order to be efficient "The delays in receiving larger horsepower tractors from manu- facturers has led some farmers' to increase the horsepower in their present tractors," says H. E. Wright, secretary -manager of the Farm Machinery- Board. • While there are several ways to get more power out of your work- horse, farmers should proceed with caution. For example, getting more fuel 0 to the . engine can be done by adjusting the fuel pump on a diesel tractor. This increases fuel delivery by about 25 per cent. "However, the price of this extra power may be as much as a 40 per cent increase in fuel con- sumption;" warns Mr. Wright. Other problems, including exces- sive smoke,.._ crankcase .dilution, oer ea:ti g aid 5 cylinder .daft- , ' age;ay also; result • 'If your tractor has been designed for it, a turbo -charger may be added to boost horse- power by 50 per cent. However, farmers should never use aaturbo- charger an an engine not -designed for such options, as it can seriously affect perform- ance. . Re-engineering the cylinder head is also a hoiisepower- boosting technique. By planing the head to increase the, com- pression ratio and by installing a conversion kit .to increase the cylinder bore of a diesel engine, horsepower will be increased. • Before you start boosting your tractor's power, remember that all of these conversions can create problems with cooling, lubrication and operation of the valves and pistons. Because of the greater horsepower output, additional stress is also created on the entire power train of a tractor not designed for it. So additional power \ may be achieved at the expense of fuel wastage and possible, if not prob- able. mechanical failures. \ v\ Review board w�l roll bade prices --Francis (Continued from pas 1) it for two years and scaring the economy into a constant increase in prime so they will be high when'the freeze comes."
