Random notes this week. Could
there be anything more silly
aR than writing a column about
your silly --old wife breaking her
silly old ankle, and 'four days
later going out for a swim and.
breaking your own silly old big'
toe? Well I did both. '
And boy, it hurts;. . boy.
a 'Trouble is, there's'not much the
doctor can do about it. Had it
X-rayed. He took a look "at the
plate, didn't even ;look at the
toe, and cheerfully informed,
"Yes, Bill, you've broken a chip
--of2boneGof itr taut ul ter PAL.
se a cast on one toe, so just wear a
comfortable shoe, wiggle the•toe
so it won't get stiff, and sweat it
out." I'm sweating with every.
step. I didn't realize how many
things you' could bump your toe
against. It hurts even when I
kick the cat, which I don't do,
but will, if she comes near my
toe.
Enough about toes. Watch out
for those bees. While waiting for
. -ue�8
M 'tl?e:..�zlbc _'talk ali�'u,r., ..(g__-__.. _r
what) my toe, two large and
1► ;husky men came into emergency
ward swelling like balloons
from bee stings. One was the
local veterinarian, six feet six
and about 280. His right hand ,
and arias were almost
completely numb and it was
spreading into his chest. He was
* disgusted. How could a silly
lfttle thing half an inch long do
this to him?
And speaking of bees, how
about those two headliners,
Bobby Hull and Bobby Fischer,
hockey player and chess master,
• in that order? Has ever so much
media space. been devoted to a
couple of guys who are doing
well what they . enjoy, and
getting rich at it? ,
And speaking of Bobby Hull,
what do you think of the World
Hockey Association? . It:, has
stolen Hull and another - half-
dozen top hockey players from
that . far -from -benevolent
monopoly, the N.H.L.. Good luck
to the W.H.A. I love to see a big
organization kicked in the groin,
t or the pocketbook, in this case.
Particularly by its own slaves.
Why shouldn't' a hockey
player; a good one, make more
money than a movie"star? He's
often a better „actor, •
And speaking about hockey,
which • is rather silly in This
* weather, have you ever read or
heard anything more silly than
the bleating of sports -writers,
and even editorial writers, about
the series with Russia?
The whole thing is getting
rather sickening. It's just
another symptom of our..
inferiority hang-up. We can't
beat the' U.S. at money. We
can't beat the Chinese at ping-
pong. We can't beat anybody at
the Olympics, except maybe
North Wales or West Tanzania.
(With the notable exception of
those horse -jumpers, who area
pretty good.)
,Why don't we just relax and
enjoy it, as Confuscius did ngt
say? Why don't we forget the

years when other countries were.
wobbly-ankled on skates and
every red-blooded Canadian boy
had 'a. Simpsons catalogue on
one leg and a n Eaton's
catalogue . on the other and
could shoot a' frozep horseball-
through a hairnet, and we won -
the world championship twenty-
eight to one every year?
Except. Remember that
dreadful year (about 1936) '.
when the British, of all people,
beat our team in the Olympics?
Their team, of course, was made
up -o Gatradians' -1iv'i in-
England. Or Englishmen who
had grown up in Canada. One of
them was an English kid I went
to school with. Another, so he
claimed, was an old friend of
mine; Squire Tanner, attending
Cambridge: Another was George
Hees, doing much the same,
before he got into .politics. But,
oh the shame of it!
All this, of course, is prelude
.:and , . masquerade. ,, to. _ _ a_ _secret
hunch of mine that the Russians
are going to lick us in the
forthcoming series, if it ever
forthcomes.
My hunch is based on the fact
that the .games will be played
under international rules. Take
away the body -checking, high -
sticking, elbowing, slashing,
boarding and gouging from the' `
game, and your ,average
Canadian player is lost. I can
visualize °clearly five . Russians'
descending on some hapless
Canadian goalie, with all the
other Canadians in the penalty
box.
Enough. This column is about
summer silliness. How's this?
An atlnt of my wife, who was
born and reared near Belfast,
but. has lived for a number of
years in Canada, went back to
Northern Ireland for a visit this.
summer: 'We're watching the
obituary columns.
My kid brother, who is a
colonel in the air force, is being
posted to Germany in a few
weeks. What, in the name of all
that is silly,. are Canadians
doing in Germany? Who are
they guarding? Against what?
And with what?
I know I've come 'a long way
'from- my broken toe, but
somewhere, in some secret little
niche in my mind, there is a
connection ' linking all these
summer sillinesses. Or maybe I
just got too much sun when• I
