Whatever that keeps records of things Such as divorce
rates, it could very well be Statistics Canada (StatsCan), in
,turn 14 likely a braaefri of OreliCaltp as one radio program
likes to refer to such arms of .government.
Back on topic, then, What about this divorce rate? If
semeeneWere, energetic enough he would discover who
compiles these records. Once in hand, a qUielt search, ttim
willing„to bet, would reveal that More.divorces.are„filed in,
October than in any other month of the Year.
Why October? Easy. Baseball, football, hockey and, if
you have the right equipment, basketball. Sports overtake
the airwaves in this month when some games are starting
their seasons, others are winding up and some are right in
the middle. And it's not ,only the pros but junior and
college teams who get their licks on the tube as well.
The first. two weekends are the worst of the month. The
World Series and before that the playoffs took over large
chunks of weekend leisure time. That wasn't enough
though. The Maple Leafs graced the tube twice on the first
weekend of the hockey season, and, not to be outdone the
_Nattogal and Canadian Fo_inhall Lea tgles_atettit,cle_shows
on the air, ,
And it doesn't end on the weekend. Once a week,
Howard COsell and his cronies offer their slickMonday
night football package. That's followed by mere:baseball
and hockey, and I haven't even mentioned college or junior
sports yet. Sounds endless.

'All this addS up to grounds for divorce, Although there
are certainly exceptions, this plethora of player progam-

neatly between many a1tarried couple. The prototype, the
husband, often doesn't notice thiS wedge until he •realizes
the regular delivery of beer or dinner hasn't arrived.
• On the other side of this frontier is the wife. She's the
one who often feels she is addressing her mate but
actually her audience's a mental void. This, I know, for I
too arn Often guilty, especially when the Leafs are being
brutalized by the lowliMs of the league.
The solution to this, ideally I'm sure, would be for the
pair to sit down and work out this divisive intrusion.
Unfortunately, though, an even better marriage counsellor
might be second television set.
-------NG1SOLIDIF�J
This may all.be overstated, but I'i still willing to wager
that a lot of marriages are not solidified in October.
Beyond sports, there may be a deeper reason. A recent
magazine article investigated the growing number of
professional athletes who are 'born again Christians.
Group's such as Athletes in Action keep high profile.

,The author of the Piece draws an interesting comparison
between the no/Tiber of athletes turning to Christ and the

It's not that funny. One character in' the United States
has, tengue-in-cheek to be sure, established the Church on
Monday Night Football. To belong (me must follow 'a
variety of commandments, including a provision for liquid
.refreshment, -which, whether planned or not, seems to
parallel the Sacrament. The originator even has establish-
, ed a hierarchy whidh starts at the" bottom with the
equivalent of parishioners and runs through to' the head of
the church.
Skeptic that I am, I wouldn't be surprised if in fact
someone had compiled the divorce numbers, I'd like, but
for some reason, they have conveniently disappeared. •
.Handled with a little discretion, (e.g. 7..sonsideration-fOr-

&hough.), some of that October marital tension could be •
eased.
Beyond that, though; we should pay attention to the

now, but there is also something ominous about such vast
numbers so eager to just' sit and watch and worship,
