I'm not what one would call
an avid hockey fan. That's
why we have two televisions at
our house --to permit me to
watch a movie or a talk show or
a musical extravaganza or the
news or anything at all just as
long as it isn't hockey.
I don't know what it is about
that game, especially the tel-
evision version. I get absolut-
ely sick -to -my stomach dizzy.
There's so much movement
that my eyes play tricks on my
digestive system. And I can't
follow the play. I never know
who has the puck --and rather
than risk vomiting all over the
livingroom rug, I'll drop the
whole issue and go do the iron-
ing.
But I live with hockey nuts.
My husband and my two sons
just adore the game. In the
average hockey season, I get
more news from the nets than
most people who are acquainted
with the sport. From the open-
ing face-off of the season to
the final Stanley Cup period,
I'm informed. Totally inform-
ed.
That may be part of the reas-
on I feel so strongly about this
Bobby Hull thing. As far as I'm
concerned, I don't give a tink-
er's darn about NHL rules and
regulations. All I know is that
Hull is a fine hockey player
and I believe we should send
our best to the Canada -Russia
game, I, for one, would like
to see the Russians trounced
solidly by the Canadian bunch
and I don't care if Clarence
Campbell or Alan Eagleson or
the entire NHL uppercrust have
their noses out of joint because
of it.
The part which really irks
me is that the NHL insists on
holding the upper hand at all
costs. For years --or so it seems
to me --the NHL sat placidly
by and let the Russians wipe
the ice with anything we could
put out there. There wasn't
any national pride to be upheld
as far as the Canadian conting-
ent of the NHL was concerned.
It was as though it wasn't even
Canadian.
Now, it appears the NHL
sees a way to make some money
and gain some new kind of
status for itself. It has agreed
that only Canadian born players

who are signed with the NI -IL
shall be permitted to particip-
ate in the game. That's really
superiority plus. What hockey
team could possibly be so good
that it could not use Bobby Hull
an NHL legend if there ever
was one.
I'm not arguing with the NHL
stand to stick to the rules and
bar Bobby hull. I'm arguing
against the rule ever being
made in the first place. I'd
like to know the wisdom of it --
or was it purely an economic
venture designed to prove that
the NHL is the best there is
without help from anyone.
The NHL president Clarence
Campbell has charged that the
Prime Minister of Canada was
not well-informed. It appears
that Team Canada's own coach
Harry Sinden wasn't too well
informed. Ile thought he could
use Hull. HIe even announced
that 1-Iull would be one of 35
players who would play in the
Gardening around
swimming pools
Most of us look forward with
anticipation to the warm weath-
er of June, July and August.
For those with swimming pools,
the anticipation is even greater.
While it is very difficult to do
any significant landscaping
around a raised pool, in -ground
pools have many interesting
possibilities, says Bob Crawford,
horticultural specialist, Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food.
In the summer, children and
pools are nearly inseparable
and in most cases they need a
good runway. So one of the
main concerns is keeping the
flowerbeds and grass at least
six feet from the pool. Dirt
and grass clippings are too eas-
ily carried into the pool.
Drainage is another consider-
ation. The beds should drain
away from the pool to prevent
washing dirt into the water dur-
ing rains.
The use of large planters or
containers is one of the most
satisfactory ways to landscape
a pool. Containers are avail-
able in many shapes, sizes and
materials, from flower pots to
barrels. They provide bright
spots of color around the pool
and require a minimum of care
and maintainance. Also, plant-
ers have an advantage in mobil-
ity, permitting new arrange-
ments to be made easily.
Fill the containers with your
favourite plants. Cascade pet-
unias are well-suited for pool -
side planters. They are easily
grown and their cascading effect
is achieved quickly. They
should last through summer
heat with only a little care.

series against the Russians.
And what about PET getting
involved in this thing? Should
he have kept his cool and quiet-
ly ignored the situation?
I don't know what the best
political move would be. I
don't think like a politician.
But I'm afraid that if I was
the Prime Minister of Canada
and Bobby Hull was willing to
play on my team against our
oldest and strongest competition
I'd be hopping up and down too
if someone said he couldn't
play because of a paper techn-
icality.
I'm not so sure I would have

refused to meet with Clarence
Campbell --if that's true --to
discuss the matter. I think I
might have been so hostile I
would have gladly had Camp-
bell ushered into my office if
for no other reason than to
emphasize the point that Can-
ada's honor is at stake. That's
more important than any NHL
red tape.
Maybe the team beat Russia
without Hull and with dull
skates and cracked hockey sticks
I don't know. But if Bobby Hull
wanted to join forces with my
hockey team, I'd let him, We'd
argue later.
