FINEST WATStt WELL: SINCI' 1tI�''' CHESS POINTS Local matches may hit 5,000 By ROSS WILLIAMS There has been a substan- tial increase in local chess tournaments in recent years. In 1973 there were about 2,900 local tournaments. This num- ber increased to 4,350 in 1974. This year could have in excess of 5,000. With a large increase in the number of tourlla mento, it would be fair to assume at least a slight reduction in the quality of tournament direc- tion. What has actually hap- pened is an improvement In the quality of tournament di- rection despite the prolifera- tion of tournaments. Responsibility for the im- provement lies with the staff of the U.S. Chess Federation (USCF), and particularly with USCF's technical direc- tor, Martin E. Morrison. The USCF has had a tour- nament director certification program operating on an optional basis for some time. It became mandatory for local chess tournaments on Jan. 1. Following that date, each local tournament was required to have a certified tournament director in charge in order for the tour- narnent to be recognized by USCF for player rating pur- poses: There were 1,231 certified local directors in 1974 when the 'program was optional. The number jumped to 1,733 by June, 1975, finder the man- datory provisions. To become a certified. di- rector, an applicant is re- quired to pass a test covering the rules of chess and the pro- cedures used in directing the different kinds of tournament recognized by USCF. The test is thorough, but each.applicantis given ample time . to prepare for it. Ac- cording to recent USCF sta- tistics,, about 90 per cent of the applicants pass it on the first attempt. Unsuccessful applicants are . given addi- tional chances. to pass. *hat daesall:=this mean to the local chess prayer? First, when he is playing in -a local tournament, he knows the person directing it is thor- oughly grounded in the inter- national laws of chess, and is well qualified to arbitrate player disputes. Second, he has every rea- son to believe that player pairings will be Lair and im- partialand based en recog- nized procedures. Third, he knows the tournament will be conducted on a- business -like basis with facilities and supervision in accordance with established national standards. Information regarding the certified tournament director program can be obtained from Martin E. Morrison, Technical Director, U.S. Gess Federation, 479 Broad- way, Newburgh, N.Y. 12550. Game of the Week: Paul Keres of the Soviet Union, died of a heart attack in Helsinki, Finland, on the way home after winning a tournament in Canada. He was 59. Earlier this year, at the age of 58, he won the strong inter- national tournament at Tallinn, Estonia. He finished in front of nine grandmasters with six wins and nine draws in 15 games, Behind him were grandmasters Bronstein and Hort and former world cham- pion Boris Spassky. Paul Keres was a giant in the chess world. Few players have matched the duration of his tenure as a top player. Here is a game he played in .the A.V.R.O. Tournament in 1938. Jose Raul Capablanca played the French Defense against Keres with the fol- lowing result. French Defense A.V.R.O. Tournament Amsterdam 1938 P. Keres White 1. PK4 2. P -Q4 3. N -Q2 4, KPzP 5.

For example, woodpecker Scalps were used by the Yurak and Karock Indians of northern California. Some settlers and Indians also used beaver skins in parts of North America. And gopher tails were negotiable in many re- gions as late as the first few years of this century.

Why let your dream die? By REV. W. LEE TRUMAN The debt that I owe to Wallis Hamilton is that he gave me the word "serendip- ity." It means to find some- thing of value, unexpectedly. My serendipity is that I found a small, one-man gold- plating shop where I had some work done. As I was ready to leave I saw a con- traption in the back and asked about it. The proprietor shrugged his shoulders and said he was building an air - .plane. Not every day have I found someone building his own air- plane, so I asked a few more questions. When he saw I was serious, he shared his :crea- H. GORDON GREEN I dropped into a rest home the other day - into one of these places where the patients are old people who are not really sick - just old. Too old to look after themselves properly perhaps. These are the kind of people who, 50 years ago, would, have stayed on the farm with the young folks gardening, knitting, mending and baby sitting. And in .general, making themselves useful and happy. There was lots of room for them then, and lots of work. But now we find ourselves caught in an age when not too many young people can manage to live on the farm anymore: Most of them are struggling in- stead to pay off the mortgage,bn some little four -room ticky-ta k r suburban bungalow, and there's just no place for oldsters any- more except in the modern "rest home". Here, for a price, certain quali- fied (?) people will provide some- thing which pretends to resemble the comforts of home. It was one of these that I visited this week, and while I believe that this par- ticular place was rather excellent in its cleanly equipment, its trained nurse, dietician etc., I couldn't escape the feeling that what our old people need most to- day is not really a matter of fa- cilities at all. What they really 1Crossroads1 r'ublished every Wednesday as the big, action cross-country section in rite Listowel Banner, The Wingham Advance -Times and The Mount Forest Confederate. Wenger Bros.

Above all they need pa- tience and love. Someone once composed a Ser- mon on the Mount for old people, and while it isn't exactly scrip- ture, there's genuine prayer in it nonetheless. There seem to be several versions of this, but the lines which follow are quoted from the calendar of St. Bar- tholomew's Church' in Sarnia. Blessed are they who understand my faltering step and palsied hand. Blessed are they who know my ears today must strain to catch the things they say: Blessed are they who looked away when my coffee spilled at the table today. Blessed are they whom I do not vex when I ask if they've seen where I laid my specs. Blessed are they with cheerful smile who stop to chat for a little while. Blessed are they who never say "You've told that story twice to- day!" Blessed are they who know the ways to bring back memories of yes- terdays. Blessed are they who make it known that I'm loved, respected and not alone. Blessed are they who ease the days on my journey home in loving ways. Blessed all those who needn't be told that even the strongest shall one day be old. tion with ire like a „child showing off his most prized possession. It was not a true ,airplane, but an autogyro which has no wings and is no larger than'Ea small office desk. It has a rotor blade, a small pusher motor, and it flies. He said that he had' flown 250 miles nonstop, which seemed very much to me like riding a motor scooter at 3,000 feet, though I did not share this ob- servation with him, nor have I asked to take a demonstra- tion ride. His enthusiasm was second only to mine at finding a man doing his business, and at times huddled .over .a flying machine being built `out of odds' and "ends, `no doubt airworthy, but to me, a bit scary. It seemed to" me that I had • come into a throwback to a lost age. We no longer build automobiles at the forge level or find individuals toying with great ideas in their workshops. Backyard nut busters" and shade tree mechanics are reduced to making minor repairs of items designed never to be repaired, but to be replaced. Just to know that there are men among us who still build successful flying machines in their spare moments gives me a nostalgic feeling that the , spirit of the Wright Brothers is still alive and rw: with us. Maybe it is the old Horatio Alger legend which is kept alive by the Walter Mitty in•all of us, that wants to see the individual stand as an in- dividual on his resources. Since finding this fellow cre- ating his flying machine, I have a new respect for the man with his quiet dream. I am writing this to give some hope to that someone who has such a private dream tucked away somewhere. That person who has been given the cold, fish -eyed stare when he shared his contrap- „ tion in the corner. The dream of the innermost self ean en- counter those who do not rec- ognize a serendipity, and so it never becomes. If you are that someone with a quiet dream and way down inside of yourself, you have your faith in your idea and it seems to die hard, put this down in your book of life: "While major corporations are franking out some of the finest airplanes in the world, there is a fellow sitting on a soapbox beside his dream, and it flies." Common sense says it will never „get off the ground, but maybe thatis because Ave have not caught his vision. Besides, he has a glint in his eye when he talks about his dream, and I get excited when I listen. Why let your dream die? It might be an experience of serendipity for all of us. CROSSWORD • By A. C.
