Dave Shaw sidelined again
When the Quebec Nordiques .open
the first round of playoffs in the Na-
tional Hockey League chi"s week. Ex-
eter native Dave Shaw will be miss-
ing from the lineup.
Shaw has been out of the Quebec
lineup for almost two weeks because
of a bout of mononucleosus.
Back in Exeter visiting his parents
Bruce and Fran Shaw, he told the T-
A Monday he will be examined by the
Nordiques team physician Dr.
Beauchmin and is hoping to get
clearance to get back on skates for the
fifth game of the first round series in
Hartford next Tuesday night.
Although in his second year in the
NHL, Shaw is yet to see playoff ac-
tion. Last year he was out with a
shoulder injury when the Nordiques
were eliminated in three straight
games by the same Hartford
Whalers.
Asked about his club's chances in
the playoffs, Shaw replied. "We have
had a tough year. The last month has
been a lot better. We might be getting
to a peak for the playoffs."
Shaw went on to say the Nordiques
fared well against Hartford in the
regular schedule. Each team won
three times and two -games ended in
ties.
He continued, "Hartford has a good
club. But, maybe things will reverse
from last year. We finished first and
were eliminated quickly. This time
they were first.Anything can happen
in the playoffs. They have an ex-
plosive forward line of Ron Francis,
Kevin Dinnen and John Anderson and
Mike Liut is playing well in goal."
Shaw picks Edmonton,
Philadelphia, Quebec and Toronto to
win the four divisional champion-
ships. About Edmonton he said,
"They won't lose two in a ro H to
Calgary."

To the Editor:
Ontario Residents Beware!
It has recently come to our atten-
tion that the Toronto humane Socie-
ty has initiated a campaign to solicit
new members - outside the Toronto
area. This campaign is targeted at
Ontario residents, some of whom
have never been active with Ilumane
Societies anywhere in the province.
Before surrendering to their appeal
for money, local residents shbuld be
aware of the facts. The Toronto
Humane Society has recently taken a
new direction... that of the Animal
Rights Movement.
The radical movement began with
the recent election of Vicki Miller as
president of the society. Ms. Miller,
also founder and national co- •
ordinator of the activist group ARK
II, has been the cause of much con-
troversy within the humane Society
Federation of the province. '
Her unorthodox beliefs and tactics
have sprouted the recent dramatic
decline in public support for the
organization. This, I would imagine,
is what has precipitated her plea for
support from unsuspecting residents
outside of the Toronto area. However.
it is presumptuous of Ms. Miller to ex-
pect our support for her society when
our local organizations are equally in
need of such funding.
There is a vast difference between
animal rights and animal welfare.
The Ontario Trappers Association
-supports encourages Humane
Societies. t,,.,t operate on an animal
welfare basis and solidly believes that
they need our support.
. Leadership, as Ms. Miller has
displayed, is not the standard for the
respectable Humane Societies of our
province. I urge you - donate rather
to your local Humane Societies. Well
established, reputable local organiza-
tions deserve your support and will do
much more to promote animal
welfare on your behalf.
, Sincerely
James J. Donnelly
General Manager
