makes money
The new lengthened National Hoc
' key League playoffs have provided some
new amunition for anti-expansionists to
re load and continue their quest to shoot
down the 12-team league.
Too long, too dull, they claim but
their objections sound much like sour
grapes. Grapes which they enjoyed to
•taste when the NHL, was almost a pri,
vote club with just six teams. But since
the grape has split its skin, doubled in
size and attracted millions more fans,
the taste to some has become sour.
The rejection of a Vancouver fran-
chise, altering game times to fit tele-
vision time slots, and Toronto Leafs
missing the playoffs leaves a bitter taste
in any all Canadian mouth.
But hockey must be looked on as
an industry. As Canadian as Ookpio
and maple syrup, its international suc-
, cess should make all Canadians proud
'and many rich.
About 120 native athletes have
found lucrative employment in the big
time while' innumerable coaches, mana-
gers, equipment men, team doctors
owners and other hockey people are also
making their fortunes in the U.S. and
spending a large portion of it in Canada.
And if the sport catches on south
of the border, more profits will be made
by Canadian manufacturers of skates
and other hockey equipment.
Instead of trying to crush the new
grape bunch, it is economically wise,
and will benefit all Canadians indirectly,
to encourage the growth of the vine.
•And no matter how long the playoffs
continue it will only make the end more
exciting, the Stanley Cup more trea-
sured. We should be pleased to have
millions more people enjoying our num-
ber one sport.
The relentless blasting of Dr. Mor.
ton Shulman (NDP — High Park) found
the target and opened a vicious wound
Irk the tender side of the provincial Con- ,
servatives.
In exposing the case of the alleged

both in and out of government organ-

It is unlikely elderly patients are
beaten and forced to drink urine and
wash water in many rest. homes but the
chance of mistreatment is not entirely
impossible. Relatives and friends of the
mentally ill should let the Cara Villa case
serve as an example of what could hap-
pen if the helpless are allowed to fall
into the wrong hands.

It is men of this nature, men with

is to transmit the love of his congrega-

Take that Mr. Whipp!
Somebody is reading this
. thing, anyway. Letters have
been coming in shovelfuls late-
ly. Keep it up, chaps, whether
you agree or not.
A recent column on high tax-
es seemed to touch a sore spot.
I didn't hear from the Minister
of Finance, but I did hear from
a number of people who are
getting hot under the collar as
various levels, of government
take bigger and bigger bites
from an apple that has already
been well chewed.
Ken Gagnon of Tillsonburg
dislikes compulsory benefits.
He says the needy, after a
means test, should be looked
after, but those who just don't,
want to work should be given
menial labor if they want publ-
ic handouts. He also protests
the costly commissions establ-
ished to investigate tax and
other problems, and whose re-
ports, after a cursory examina-
tion, are shelved.
G. MacDonald of Toronto,
with terse Scot sense, says,
"The government has become
top-heavy." Mrs. M. Ferguson,
also of Toronto, tells of the
• incredible cost per day for a
hospital bed in a public ward
in that city — from $45.15 to
$52.50 a, day, for those who
don't have 'provincial hospital
insurance, And many don't.
Wm. E. Smith of Oakville
writes, "Just wanted to get my
two cents, worth in to support

letter were three iennies, with
the postscript, "Why the extra

Warned me to stop writing
about education and teen-agers,
or he'd cancel. Buckets of
letters excoriating Mr, W. and
encouraging your hero. It
seems that there arc a lot of
people, Of all ages, who are
interested in these topics.
Many of them run to two 'or
three typed pages, but I'll
tniote excerpts from a few
which are rePresentative.
David Bell of Preston:
"Your column swings with its

town: "Felt iMpelled to Write
as per invitation, I never miss
reading you, Does that Melia
anything? Think you are 'kid-
da gOod'." Thank yott main,
Sometimes I'm kinda bad, too,
but it usually makes me feel
kinda good.
Mary McCaughna of Keswick
swings into rhyme:
"Tell that managing editor to
jump/in the lake;
I subscribe to the Era mostly
for your sake;
As to teen-agers, call 'em
young adults,
Perhaps then, by semantics,
you'll get better results.
As to• education, you're in it,
well brother, so are we,
And besides, as you men-
tioned, it certainly isn't free."
T. A. Deans of London: "If,
in some of your columns, you
stress education and youth —
good for you. You obviously
don't agree with Richard J.
Needham. I do. But . . educa-
tion, whether formal or infor-
mal, is essential, and for the
Managing Editor of a paper to
threaten to cancel a column of
references to it is completely
idiotic." This was one of his
milder paragraphs.
A teen-ager from Walkerton:
"I think that your column is
one of the most alive writings
in today's newspapers ... Being
a teen-ager is one of the rough-
est and loneliest times I have
reached. I'm torn between loy-
alty to my parents and anger
at them for clipping the wings
that I think are full-grown
enough to fly. It's particularly.
hard when I start to wonder if
I'm the only one that acts this
way, and ask myself, 'What's
the Matter, with me, anyway?"
There's more,,but she ends,
"So please kep reaching out
to students and teen-agers,
Smiley; too few people do!"
A former student, Maureen
Schwartz (Eilloran), of Cooks-
vale; writes hotly in defence,
hitt ;:he's prejudiced (I gave
her 85 in English). Not long

the Message: "Speaking of rats-
ing kids — it is no wonder the
