R h0 WM- CHESS P+INTS \9::rnen compete for title in July By ROSS WILLIAMS 'The U.S. Women's Cham- pionshipis scheduled for July as .ma -aswa . .� _ n�o.....e-s..s 1117 5, at tate Pacuttatatt= Hotel in Milwaukee, Wis. The tournament this year Ls also an International Chess Fed- eration, (FIDE) sanctioned zonal, inhere the U.S. Zone's representatives to the 1976 Women's Interzonal will be . determined. In 1968; the Women's World Chess Championship was placed on a three-year, four - stage cycle similar to the Men's Championship. The .title match is played in the zonal year. In the following year, zonal winners compete in an inter- zonal tournament. The offi- cial challenger is determined in the third year when the in- terzonal winners compete with specially seeded players (e.g., the loser of the previous title match) in the Candidates Matches. Mona Karff, from New York City, came back from a short retirement and won the 1974 U.S. women's title with an unbeaten 8-2 score against 10 other players in St. Peters- - burg, Fla. Karff has held the U.S. title several times, win- ning it for the first time in 1938. Second place in the 1974 tournament went to Ruth Haring, a young college stu- dent from .Arkansas. Haring was unbeaten with a 71 to 21 score. . Third place went to Gisela Gresser, 7-3, from New York Qty. Gresser has also held the title several times. She first won it in 1944 with a per- fect 8-0 score against a strong field that included Mona Karff. • The first officially recog- nized U.S. women's' cham- pion was Adele Rivero, who won the title in' 1937. Mona Karff was the second title holder, winning the 1938 tournament. An internationally famous chess player, Sonja Graf, shared. the"tItleite1957' *ith Gisela Gresser. That was Graf's first appearance in the U.S. Women's Championship • Tournament. She won the ti- tle again in her only other ap- pearance in 1964. Sonja Graf was a German player who was considered' • ' Vera lenchik's closest rival for the Women's World Championship Title during the latter's long reign prior to World War IL After the war, Sonja came to the United States. Slee died in 1965. Game of the Week: U.S. women have not fared well in international competition, but they have been good com- petitors. The two top finishers in the 1974 U.S. Women's Championship played first hoard and alternate in the re- cent 6th Women's Olympiad, held in Medellin, Columbia. a. Some good games were played, but the U.S. team was relegated to the "B" finals. Here is one of Mona Karff's games from that event. Karff played first board for the U.S. team.

Visitors to the opening ceremonies on March 23 were encouraged to let their children participate in the acti- vities. The puzzle table was a big attraction. Century of the child a part-time staff member who was not trained in early child- hood education, Miss Bannerman noticed that the children did not warm up to 'het as they did to most others. The teacher seemed to expect things out of the young- er children which were out of their range. "What a four-year-old can ac- complish and do well, a two-year- old 'will have a great deal of trouble doing. An untrained per- son quite often tends to overlook this, looks at the pretty work of art the four-year-old has pro- duced and expects the two-year- old to do the same," she said. Miss Bannerm pointed out that an untrained *son quite of- ten has the concept flat children are pretty and are meant to be kept quiet and made to behave. A trained persona is made to under- stand that children are really • miniature adults and they should be taught self-respect.

Each age group has a completely different course and the programs are geared to their age level. Music, free play, where the children choose their own ac- tivity, outdoor play and story times are all part of their sched- ule. It is the century of the child and the next century may be even more so. On Sunday, March 23, parliamentary assistant to James Auld, Dr. Harry Parrott, officially opened the largest day care centre in the province at Conestoga College in Kitchener. A point he made in his speech summed up most people's feel- ings alibUt the strong • trend to ds <the'eehtres. ' br. Parrott noted that a train- ing centre and community service such as this building, is in great demand, will be for many more years and possibly should have been a few years ago. H. GORDON GREEN Call me an old mossback if you will but I can't share in Ottawa's exuberance over its decision to make us all go metric. The Cana- da Metric Commission has begun its program in a comparatively innocent fashion. Those of us who are not interested in the mysteri- ous mathematics of Celsius and merely want to know how cold it is outside will either switch to an American radio forecast (as I have done) or simply put on our earlugs and go outside every morning to scan that real thermo- meter tacked on the side of the woodshed. (Fahrenheit may now be in official disrepute, but it's still more than twice as accurate as Celsius..) But my beef .with the new measurement changes stems from something far more serious than 'minor inconveniences such as the learned confusion now given us from the Meteorological Department. I object to the met- rification program first of all be-. cause none of us were asked whether or not we wanted -it. A White Paper was simply slipped .through a busy parliament, there was no debate, no sounding of public opinion. In short, though the program will cost untold mil- lions, and the total cost of con- version must be borne directly by the individuals Vio will be re- quired to'conver ,none of us have had any say in the matter at all. Just two hundred years ago the Americans fought their most im- portant war over just such an is- sue'. This new metrification pro- gram may seem comparatively unimportant when it concerns nothing but the temperature and the size of our coke bottles, and this brand new crop of b>jreau- crats who have the jobs of exter- minating, pounds, miles and cubic yards are already doing their costly best to sell us the idea that it's all for our own good, and really not too difficult. But if the Commission really means it when it says that Canada will be completely metric by 1980, , it must know that the future Shock will be stupendous. • Complete metrification would mean nothing, less than a whole new map for this country. Con- sider the effect in rural Canada alone where at least three-quar- ters of , the concessions. and side - roads have been built a mile or a mile and a half apart. Are they all to be ripped up and rebuilt at a kilometer apart?What of our farms, already measured off in rods, the fields neatly laid out in ten or twenty acres in the east, and in square miles in the west? Do we tear up all .our fences and move them over to where the kilometeres come out even? What of our crop equipment now calibrated in bushels and pounds? The more thought one gives to the problems involved the more terrifying the prospects. And who, after all, will benefit? Well American Labour has its own an- swer to that. It is the big, multi -national corporations who are most anxious to see the met- ric system adopted, and it is they who have been lobbying for it. Note, for instance, if you are the owner of a General Motors car or truck how many pieces of metric propaganda this firm has sent you during the past year. As I see it, Canada will be a long, long way from metrification by 1980 or any other year that you or I will see. The U.S. Congress has already turned thumbs down on the idea and the American Unions have served due notice that if Congress should at some future time try to make metrif/- cation law, they will contest the issue in the highest courts of the land because it is their contention that this would constitute uncon- stitutional interference into the private sector. And Canada is to go ahead with the plan anyhow? Complete met- rification by 1980? I'll be happy to cover your bet. AWMAMMJAM UNOMMIN NM M MUNN OM MOMMI MIMI Ma WIMM M WOMMIMEMM UM MUM MM.

It will be held on Saturday, April 12 this year, and it's the eighth annual event of its kind. If you're one of the 3,000 who attended last year, you know what to expect. But if you've never been to a maple syrup bash, you'll be missing a lot if you don't come out for this spring fes- tival. It will feature visits to the sugar shanty, sales of original arts and handicrafts, booths of maple syrup products and maple sugar candies, demonstrations of syrup making, homemade bread and bake sales and a draw on handmade quilts. Bush tours can be arranged upon the visitor's re- quest. And then, of course, there will be the unforgettable meals of pancakes, sausages, maple syrup and apple ! honieinade 4044 The meals be served throughout the day U you°ere getting W IN jam' mow this, maybe you d get Qat to Belmore now and get a . taste of whatthe festival is all about. A pancake house is now in operation at the Belmo 'e. Com- munity Hall and serve meals seven days a week from 5:30 p,m. to 8:30 p.m. It will be kept open until festival day, April 13. The eighth annual Belmore Maple Syrup Festival will start at 11 a.m, and will MU lhtrough 8 p.m., with the main events sched- uled at the Belmore Arena. Chairman for this year is _Earl Fitch, and proceeds from the festival win go toward paying off the ice at the arena.
