HOCKEY: WILL IT EVER
The hockey series between
Canada and Russia is now over
and, if it did one thing, it
demonstrated that Canada does
not have, as believed, a mon-
opoly on the good hockey play-
ers in the world. The people
who predicted that our national
(NHL) team would sweep all
eight games are now busy eating
their words.
Having played hockey in
Europe, I am quite accustomed
to the rules in vogue over there.
I am also used to the playing
habits of most Europeans and I
would like to offer a few obser-
vations on the game that we
have seen played and will un-
doubtedly see a lot more of in
the future.
First of all, if you have the
idea that Canadians are rougher
than Europeans, forget it. We
are simply far less subtle about
how we go about it. Referees
over there call obvious penalt-
ies and Canadians are generally
Huron member
advised of
flash signals
Huron MP Robert E. McKin-
ley announced this week that he
has been advised by the Canad-
ian Transport Commission that
an automatic flashing light
signal and bell will be installed
at the railway crossing on coun-
ty road five, in the Township
of Stephen. The road leads to
the new plant of Cook's Divis-
ion of Gerbro, and a heavy
amount of traffic is anticipated
on this road.
Mr. McKinley said that eighty
percent of the costs of the sign-
alling devices will be paid for
out of the Railway Grade Cross-
ing Fund, with the County of
Huron picking up the tab for
twelve and a half percent. The
balance will be paid for by the
Canadian National Railways.
As for operating costs, Mr.
McKinley said the County of
Huron and the CNR will each
pay fifty percent of this amount.

so obvious that it hurts. The
referees are also too busy watch-
ing for offsides, etc., with the
result that they miss most of the
less obvious' stuff. Knowing
this, European players simply
concentrate on being as unobt-
rusive as possible when they go
about their dirty work. Our
system here where the linesmen
watch the offsides while the
referee watches the play in
general helps to cut down on
the number of sneeky digs, Even
at that, a great deal goes on
that is not called but nothing
compared to what happens in
Europe.
Europeans, like some NHL
players are great actors. They
can take dives, look like they
are mortally wounded etc. with
an expertise that would put
many a Hollywood actor to
shame. Canadian teams are fre-
quently patsies for this sort of
thing and, on top of it all, our
players still haven't learned how
to control their tempers. If
they are going to be No. 1 on
the international circuit, they
will have to cool it.
In the Russian series we saw
ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS
how well the Russians skated
and passed. This is par for the
course in Europe, Over there we
concentrated on these two things
as well. as stickhandling. There
was little of this shooting the
puck in and then charging in
after it, You stickhandle or
pass your way in which, I admit,
I prefer to the Canadian way of
doing it. Somehow it seerns
more spectacular and crowd -
pleasing.
While I played in Europe I
used to be amazed at the cond-
itioning of the teams. We had
one team come from Sweden to
play us that had only nine play-
ers. To my surprise they beat
us and were still skating strong
at the end of the game. Every-
body is remarking on the fine
conditioning of the Russians
but this, I can assure then, is
nothing new and is something
that we might well imitate in
our pre -season training.
Finally I was glad to see such
a close series between Canada
and Russia. It will result, I am
sure, in many more series
which will benefit hockey where
ever it is played, It might even
make the NHL smarten up for
some of the games I have
attended were more like shin-
ney than hockey.

A new way
to really get your
mail moving:
Your local Postal Code.
By now, you've probably received
your new Postal Code. And you may
have seen or heard ads telling people
in big cities how accurate and com-
plicated their codes are.
Well, your local code is not as
complicated. Obviously, since fewer
people live in your area, we don't need
as many codes. In fact, all we need is
one code to represent all the people in
your town and on your rural route.
So, if you forget your code, just ask
one of your neighbours. Then don't
Get the habit.

forget, send it to your friends.
If they live in big cities, tell them
how complicated their life is.
And if you haven't received your
Code by October loth, please call your
local Post Office. We will nail it to you
immediately. It is possible however,
that you are not in the Southwestern
Ontario Postal District, in which case your
area may not have been coded yet.
