Flyers reach finals; open series
against Shipka on Friday night
After blowing their chance to
take the series four games to
two last Thursday night in Hur-
on Park , the Zurich Flyers
came back strong in the local
arena Sunday afternoon in the
seventh game, posting a 6-1
score and knocking off Cent-
ralia College four games to
three. On Thursday night they
trailed from the start of the
game and never carne within
distance of closing the gap,
but on Sunday the Flyers went
two up in the second period and
never looked back.
By virtue of their eliminating
the College crew the locals will
now meet Shipka Bears in the
best -of -seven series for the
South Huron Hockey League
championship. The first game
of this grudge series will be
played Friday night in the local
arena, with the second game
scheduled for Sunday afternoon
at 2 p.m. All games in the
series will be played in the
Zurich Arena, and fans can be
sure of plenty of top action
when the two arch -rivals clash.
Last Thursday night in Huron
Park, the College crew took
a 3-1 lead in the first period on
goals by Bryce Bedore, Don
Hewitt and Murray Kerr. Rich
Schilbe scored the lone goal
for Zurich in the initial stanza.
Again in the second period
the College six scored twice,
on goals by Craig Schwindt and
Doug Humphrey, before Paul
Corriveau found the range for
Zurich.
Goals by Don Hewitt and
Ian McLellan in the third period
gave the College a 6-2 lead
before Paul Corriveau scored
his second goal of the game
and Pat Bedard blinked the red
light for the local squad.
A total of 16 penalties were
called in the game with all
of them being of the minor
nature. The Zurich team drew
only seven to nine for Central-
ia.
What turned out to be prob-
ably the best game of the series
was played in the Zurich Arena
Sunday afternoon when the
two teams met for the seventh
and deciding game. In this one
the Flyers scored two unanswer-
ed goals in the second period,
after the two teams had battled
on even terms throughout the
first 20 minutes. The two
Zurich goals were scored by Pat
Bedard and Randy Decker,
both on beautiful passing plays .
The third period was only
two minutes old when the Coll-
ege appeared on the scoreboard
on a fluke goal that bounced
up between Glen Gascho's legs
in the Zurich net. Two minutes
later, however, Rick Schilbe
slapped in a pass from Kevin
McKinnon and Bob Merner to
give the Flyers a two -goal lead
again. From that point in the
game on the Flyers took compl-
ete command of the play as
they outskated and outworked
the College for the balance
of the time remaining. Goals
by Brian Campbell, Paul Corr-
iveau and Ron Rader added to
the margin and gave the locals
a 6-1 victory.
Both goaltenders came up
with spectacular saves through-
out the game, and Gascho, in
particular, turned aside many
shots that were labelled for
sure goals.
Only eight minor penalties
were handedout in the game,
with five of them going to the
locals and three to the visitors.
The best crowd of the season
was in attendance.
Area people attend
lecture in Stratford
(by Rev. A.C. Blackwell)
A bus load of area people
and several car loads attended
the lecture given by Dr. Jean
Vanier in the Stratford Festival
Theatre on March 8. Friends
of the mentally retarded were
especially interested in hearing
this man who has done so much
for the care and rehabilitation
of handicapped adults.
As we listened, we realized
that Dr. Vanier was by no mean
confined to taking an interest
in retarded persons. As he spoke
on the subjects of "Poverty,
Simplicity, and Hope, it was
made very clear that a life
career can be made from doing
something to alleviate the imp-
ossible problems confronting
all kinds of unfortunate people.
As a society and as individuals
we tend to reject people who
are less fortunate than outselves
and especially when they
threaten our own security. The
result is that the "Little one is
the vounded one. Instead of
receiving more help than others
he receives less, " The condit-
ion that prisoners get into re-
veals the culpability of us all."
Speaking on "Simplicity",
Dr. Vanier compared Canad-
ians with their incomes in the
thousands of dollars per year
with the Haitians with their
$270 per family of seven or
more - and yet they display
just as much happiness as we.
He said that even religion is
used to bolster up our defences
and fears of other people.
A religion of love is needed
instead of a religion of defence
and fear, so that we, by love,
open ourselves to others, Speak-
ing on "Hcpe, " Dr. Vanier
mentioned that Jesus came to
bring liberty from the things
we fear. We all have our limit-
ations of which death is an ex -

ample. Because of these limit-
ations we all have a measure of
poverty. "We must learn not to
fear our own poverty" and "We
must learn to pardon our cons-
cious enemies and our 'uncons-
cious enemies and begin to
love them."
Dr. Vanier had just been
attending a seminar in Ottawa,
in which prisoners from various
correctional institutions across
Canada had participated with
persons of various legal and
social service professions. He
said that Canada has a high
rate of return to prisons after
release. Some other countries
are showing considerable suc-
cess in reducing the number
of repeated incarcerations.
The occasion for the address
was the opening on Sunday,
of the new L'Arche residence
for mentally handicapped adults
in Stratford. Dr. Vanier was
instrumental in the founding and
promotion of the L'Arche move-
ment in France, India, Canada,
and elsewhere.
Entertainment was provided
by a young persons choir, "The
Central Connection" from
Central United Church in Strat-
ford. They led the audience
in several numbers such as
"Wade in the Water" and "Let
There be Peace on Earth."
