According to FIDE rules, the world champion is auto- matically awarded the title of grandmaster. You can also obtain the award by scoring results of 40 per cent or better against the competition in the quarter finals of the Candi- dates Matches, where the of- ficial challenger to the world championships title is deter- mined. If a player cannot earn a position in the Candidates Matches, he can still earn the grandmaster title by making high scores in other interna- tional nterna .tional tournaments against strong competition. FIDE has a complicated grading system to establish whether a tournament is strong enough for a player's results to be considered in granting the grandmaster award. Once a tournament's eligibility is established, then the player's results, to be considered for award, must be at least 55 per cent against grandmasters, 75 per cent against 'International Masters, and 85 per cent against others. To make it harder, FIDE does not allow a grandmaster . or master to be counted un- less he or she has achieved grandmaster or master results in the five years im- mediately preceding the eligible tournament. The process of determining grandmasters is complex,. and it is likely to become more complex. There is con- tention among the many member federations of FIDE about the grandmaster award, and the rules change from. year to year. Part of the contention exists because of a feeling of national pride among the countries. represented . in FIDE over the number • of • . &grandmasters - each country can count among its chess - players. te Yar victims After ,30 yea's the Itaallen gevernMeat31111Ple atone AO ;is 'phi the site of the 194'N .

Currently, the U.S. has 12 grandmasters. Canada has two. The U.S.S.R.. has 35. But England, with a long history of chess preeminence, cur- rently has none. Each member federation devotes considerable energy to the task of enticing grand- masters to play in their tour- naments, so that the tourna- ments can be raised to grand- master strength. One wealthy player in England, to correct that country's deplorable condition, has offered a prize of about $12,000 to the first Englishman to become a grandmaster and hold a FIDE rate of 2,500. Game of the Week: U.S. chess champion Walter Browne received his grand- master award in 1970. Here is his game against Kenneth Frey of Mexico in the recent Pan-American Champion- ship.

Agricultural- Tidbits by Adrian Vos Maybe you townspeople have heard somerumors that the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture is demanding a farm income insurance plan, and you have un- doubtedly thought that this is a problem that doesn't concern you. I will try to show you dif- ferently. It is your problem be cause it concerns the producers of the food you will have to buy. It may surprise you that the percentage of your income spent on. food was in 1974 some three per cent lower than ten years ago. The reason you feel that it is higher is because of the fairly steep increase in food prices last year. This steep increase would not have happened if the producer had his cost of produc- tion returned each year. What is happening in the food industry year after year is the lamentable fact that every one wants to be on the bandwagon. If the price of pork goes up, the torn grower will fill a barn with pigs. When all those pigs come to market we have more pork than we can eat and the price drops below the cost of production. At the same time, corn is taken off the market in great quantities, so the reinaining corn increases in price. With corn thus profitable, the corn producer will empty his hog barn, there will be less pork and the prices goes up again. The whole thing starts all over. The income of both groups of farmers fluctuates from a good profit to a loss. At the same time, when you as consumers just get used to a low pork price, all of a sudden it begins to rise again. Then come the anguished cries about rising food costs. The farmer may, on an average of several years, get his production costs returned. You may, on an average of several years, get his production costs returned. You may, on an average of several years, have reasonable food costs but the fluctuations make no one happy. The income insurance plan is designed to give the farmer his cost of production. Not every farmer mind you, only the effici- ent ones. The farmer pays some of the premium and you, through the government, pay some of the premium. The result will be that the corn producer sticks to corn and the pork producer to pork, and the price for you in the store will be more stable. In B.C. the urban people supported the scheme. What about you? Why not tell the government what you think. Foreigners well paid in Sweden STOCKHOLM - Average earnings of foreigners work- ing in Sweden are about 4 per cent higher than those of Swedish workers, according to a study by the Swedish Employer's Confederation. They concede, however, that foreigners are younger than their Swedish colleagues and more often work on shifts which yield more pay.

Braking for ducks merits ao award SURREY, England - When a mother duck and her six ducklings waddled across the road here, Robert Oliphant jammed on his brakes to avoid them and thereby won himself an award for "showing consid- eration to other road users." A spokesman for Surrey police, who awarded Oliphant a pen, said "His action is just the sort of gesture we are looking for" in their road safety campaign. • FIRST ROUNDUP The ancestors of Texas' longhorns arrived in San Domingo with Columbus on his second v age and in 1690 their offsp i' were driven north to what is now Texas. 1 n1y r'o►a1 nitv3r equi to accommodate women four navy ata to ,cabins for civilian act. entists, For FARM, TOWN and COUNTRY BQME OWNERS: Can You Use $1.600.10 $200d00,?
