Twenty-four games later Anatoly Karpov was the 3-2 r over Victor Korcbnoi and Bobby Fischer's official 1975 challenger for the world title. Karpov will be 24 on May 5, 1975. His father taught him to play chess at the age of 4. At 11 he was a candidate master, a master at 15 and a grand- master at 19. The young Russian was Junior World Chess Champion at 18. In 1971, at the age of 20, he came in fourth in the 39th Championship of USSR match in Leningrad and tied for first in the Moscow international tournament in that same year. He also tied for first in the international tournaments at Hastings in 1971-72 and at San Antonio in 1972. What kind of match will it be between Fischer and Karpov? . In an interview during the San Antonio Tournament (February, 1973, Chess Life and Review), Anthony Saidy asked Karpov about his style. "Style? I have no style," Karpov replied. International Grandmaster Paul Keres has compared Karpov's attitudes toward the game to Capablanca's, and Karpov has said that Capa- blanca's was the first book of games he studied. Like Capa- blanca, Karpov seldom loses a game. In the Leningrad Interzonal, he won the prize for most points with black. Karpov's line of play is calm and steady. Many com- mentators classify him as conservative. He won his match against Polugaevsky 3- 0 in Moscow, Jan. 18 -Feb. 3, 1974, in a convincing perform- ance. This win pitted him ainst Spassky, who de- feated Byrne. Karpov then defeated Spassky in their semifinal candidates match in Leningrad. His defeat of the former World Champion was decisive. GAME OF THE- WEEK: Grandmaster Svetozar Gligoric in his book, "Fischer vs. Spassky," says of the eighth game which we pub- lished last week: "In a hun- dred years of the World Championship, there was only one other game which resem- bled this one. That was Fischer's loss by forfeit." (Game two) The most critical move was 19. ... N -Q2. Robert Byrne in "Both Sides of the Chessboard," calls this move by Spassky "... an incredible tactical blunder." Do you agree? One of Karpov's strong games with Black was No. 17 in the finals match. Some commentators think Korchnoi might have gained a draw with a different move at one point. Can you spot it? We'll comment nett week. November, 1974 Catalan Opening Korchnoi 1. P -Q4 2. P -Q134 3.

Before we pass judgment we should first take a look at our own holy cows. We don't have any? Oh yes, we have. How many of us who are not European will eat eels or how many of any background will eat snakes? Not many, but they are an excellent source of protein and very tasty. How many of us would eat dog meat? It is an excellent food, but we prefer to keep dogs as pets and when we are tired of them we send them to the Humane Society for destruction. Is there any difference with In- d'ia's holy cows? After this we compare family planning.. In our eyes religious objections to birth control may be completely silly. Let's go back somewhat less than a century in our country and we see that the earlier people were in the same position that many (in our eyes, backward) people are in ..now. When there is no old -age security and no eventide home for the el- derly, what must dne do? 'Where must be enough children to take care of them, for they are, in fact, the old -age pension of the parents. So in order not to starve when one gets old, a large family is a necessity. Most times it has _ to be large because of the high death rate amongthe very young: Old -age security isa must before parents can begin limiting their families, and this social security can only be achieved when a country is wealthy enough to pay for it. - 0 0 0 At the Farmers' Week in Walk- erton last week, Eric Winkler, of the Ontario government, con- ceded that in order to help pay for the cost incurred . by the Bruce Nuclear Development, the county would have to attract more\sec- ondary industry after the peak employment period of the con- struction phase. It appears that Bruce County is now in a vicious circle of more in- dustry, more cost and yet more industry. Before long they will be paying taxes comparable with Toronto, all in the name of what some call "progress". BUSINESS 1N TROUBLE -Garnet Sniith of Atwood, owner of Atwood Pet Food Supplies Ltd., says dead livestock removers are in deep trouble. Lower production prices and increasing labor and transportation costs are driving many oUt of business. The Atwood business has had to begin charging for its service and as a result business has dropped off from an average of 350 to 400 head per week to 150 head. Farmers are concerned about what is happening to those carcasseswhich are obviously not being picked up. Removers (Continued from front page) wel,. president of the Perth Federation. In order to keep in business, along with charging farmers, for their service, Garnet Smith has been forced to discontinue free telephone service to his cus- tomers (monthly bills were as high as $800) and has already laid off one third of his men. He says he will have to lay off more em- ployees soon. "I hate to do this but it is the only way we can stay in business. A year ago we had 12 men on the payroll and our weekly payroll was around $1,500 - $2,000. We've laid off four men and right now we have eight. Four more will be laid off next weekend and then we'll be down to three men and myself." Garnet Smith says representa- tives from his business have been to Ottawa and to Toronto "three or four times" but so far have re- ceived nothing more than "a pat on the back". NO ROOM TO SPARE - With carcasses occupying just about every inch of space, Atwood Pet Food Supplies Ltd. have had tostart charging for dead stock removal service. As a result some farmers have stopped requesting removal and this has farm organizations worried about diseases being spread by carcasses which have been left in the bush, etc. The Perth Federation of Agriculture `is considering taking the problem to township councils.

But dead stock removal busi- nesses are closing down all over the province, .according to Mr. Smith. - Even with the $3 charge, farm- ers here are better off than those in the States. "Americaii farmers have al-. . ways paid for this service - any- where from $5 to $15," Mr. Smith notes. "Even so, it's better than having to get a " backhoe in. A couple of summers ago we had a farmer call us to pick tip a dead cow, but he left it too late and we couldn't lift an animal in such a state of decay. He had to get in a backhoe to bury her .and then it cost him around $25.

"They also operate a by-line or by-products feeds business and will expand the Rothsay husinesa next year to include raid import." Besides importing by -,products from the States, the Rothsay business "has access an awful lot of secon ry industry you don't have," Mir. Nano told Mr. Smith. After promising Mr. Smith that the Perth Federation intended do all it could to help out, Mr. Vander Eyk asked' him how farmers could assist him. "During this cold weather, it doesn't matter so much with frozen stock, so weldon't care if the farmer waits until he has three or four dead pigs instead of just one before he calls us," Gar- net Smith replied. "We charge the same for picking up three or four as we do for one - it is $3 per call." He also encouraged farmers • Vii► deliver their own dead. animals to his business in Atwood.
