The Wingham Advance-Times, 1974-04-04, Page 16April 4. uy74-- CHESS TIME Garne tough as football By JOSEPH MILL BROWN Whet1 Malcolm Muggeridge opened the 1968 Hastings (11i - gland) Chess Congress, he enunciated the theme that chess was "such a wonderful image of the exercise of power, of how society works." Nothing 'illustrates it better than the fact that chess gets the kind of attention froth un- derdeveloped countries that coal miners here get from col- . lege football coaches. This year's international Hoogoventournament in- cluded representatives from 22 countries. In many totali- tarian nations, the game is used to accumulate publicity, prestige and intellectual stature. The 1966 Havana Olympiad, which starred Fidel Castro at the chessboard, was climaxed in an outdoor stadium where 17,000 persons played simul- taneous chess. 'rhe bands rocked throughout the month, and the endless flow of cigars and rum (and chauffeur - driven Cadillacs for the players) made chess resem- ble more an Arabian Nights fantasy than Malcolm Mug- geridge's image of how society works. This new image may be why one newsman began his re- port of a European tourna- ment, "With chess firmly es- tablished as a branch of show business. ..." The old chess image con- jured a scene of 'fuddy-dud- dies huddling over a board with shivering lips. The mod- ern chess hipster knows that spectators go to a tournament for the same reason they flock to a bullfight or a motor car race: to see someone get killed. A television audience gasped when a candid Bobby Fischer told Dick Cavett that his kicks in chess came from watching his opponents' faces as he breaks their egos. A sports reporter, in describing a dynamic woman athlete, ob- served that "the crafty Miss (Julie) Heldman plays tennis as if it were chess with mus- cles." In its own way chess is as tough and rugged as football and wrestling. You know this once you've learned what the game is about, which is why spectator appeal is growing. The difference between chess and wrestling is that, instead of gouging your eyes, a chess - player will tear your heart out and eat it for an artichoke. A few years ago Interna- tional Master Bernard Zuckerman wrote, "... when I asked (William) Hartston why he agreed to so many draws, he told me he does not You Are The Detective "Please give me a description of the'robber," you say to Harry Robin- son, manager of the personal loans Company. "Well, he was a tall, good-looking, nattily -dressed with' long, dark brown hair.

He scooped the money into an attache Case, then nonchalantly lit a cigarette. Then he made me sit down in my chair again, tied me there, and gagged me - then he left. It took me about ten minutes to work myself loose, then I phoned you." • "Did you notice anything else un- usual about the man?" "Only that he was very unhurried about his movements, seemed very much at ease, and he was very polite, too." - "I think this has gone far enough, Robinson," you then say. "It appears to me that the robbery was framed by you!" • "What, has led you to this conclu- sion?

Nobody likes to lose, of course, but courage is a valuable asset in a chiess- player," noted Zuckerman, only a few months before he confessed to settling for a batch of draws, himself, be- cause it guaranteed con- firmation of his title. Its uniqueness, however, brings to chess a variety of emotions, and not all of them hot or cold. Writing about a chess club in a small, pro- vincial community of a half- century alfcentury ago, the author noted that chess as a. valuable thing was a debatable issue. One nay -sayer told of a relative, married to a chess - player, who left her and the children to run off with a red- headed barmaid. ( "That's what chess did for him!") But another, who repre- sented the majority opinion, - decl,ared that chess wasn't so bad. He had a set of bone chessmen, and "some nights they are a great help with the baby's teething." - HOOGOVEN TOURNAMENT 1974 WIJK AAN ZEE, HOLLAND Jim Tarjan (USA) Silverino Garcia (Cuba) (RUNFELD DEFENSE 1.

S EGU I N, federal veterinarian in the Ottawa area, draws a blood sample from a cow's jugular vein to test for brucellosis. The disease affects the reproductive system and causes abortion in pregnant cows. Brucellosis interest renewed The recent slight increase in the incidence of brucellosis has brought renewed interest in the - disease, but also has produced some confusion among some people, says Dr. A. E. Lewis, director of Agriculture Canada's Contagious Diseases Division. "Brucellosis is a bacterial dis- ease in cattle which affects the reproductive system causing . abortion in pregnant cows, but does not cause death in the in- fected animal," he says. An animal becomes infected by ngesting the live organism which oves directly to ,the animal's reproductive tract where in- fection begins. Some animals may abort only once and .ex- .perience no further problems. However, inflected. cattle are spreaders of the disease. - If a farmer discovers one of his cows has ,aborted, he should contact the local Health of Animals Branch • office. A veterinarian or technician will. visit the farm and collect blood samples from thefarmer's herd. The blood sample is drawn from the animal's jugular vein and is sent to a federal government. laboratory for tests'. "These tests .are among the most reliable diagnostic tests we have. About 95percent of infected cattle are detected in the first test and 99.5 percent turn up in subsequent blood tests conducted. 30 days 'and 90 days after initial ' discovery. Results are available to the farmer about 10 days after each test," Dr. Lewis says. If tests results are positive the farmer's herd is placed under quarantine preventing the far- mer from adding or removing animals from his herd. Infected animals are . im- mediately ordered slaughtered and the farmer is compensated. by the- federal government at a rate of up to $300 for , each purebred and up to $150 for each grade animal which is in addition to his returns based on the market value of the carcass. Because brucellosis affects only the reproductive system, the rest of the carcass can be safely pro- cessed. The farmer then cleans and disinfects his 'operation before tests are readministered to' the rest of his herd after 30 days, 90 days and six months. The .first control measure to fight brucellosis was taken by the federal government in the early 1940s when a vaccine was made available on a voluntary basis. At the time, aboiit 11 percent of Canada's cattle population and 18 percent of our herds were in- fected\with brucellosis, Dr. Lewis s says. `Later, in 1952, a joint federal - provincial vaccination program - was introduced and by 1956" the incidence of the disease dropped Livestock classifications for farm fairs, exhibitions Changes in Agriculture Cana- da's livestock classifications 'for farm fairs and exhibitionsU high- light the practical value of the animals on display. The classifications also provide a means for. major agricultural exhibitions and fairs to receive federal prize money for their purebred livestock competitions. A and B class' fairs have the option of -using the department's classification system. If a fair adopts the classifications,the federal - department will ' con- tribute to the total prize money. "Since the program was in- troduced in _ 1965; emphasis' -Competitions mpetitions ' using the classifi- cations has shifted back to utility of the purebred livestock in the show," says Len Fisher, of Agri- culture Canada's Livestock Mar- kets and Merchandising Section. "Owners have the opportunity to show What they can do with animals bred on their own place. "There is also more uniformity among the shows. Reduced numbers of classes speed up the shows, giving viewers a chance to see other parts of the fair. The livestock exhibits have become more of a spectator show." Agriculture Canada's livestock classifications for 1974 have been mailed to A and B class fairs, provincial livestock commission- ers and breed organizations. The federal livestock division's dis- trict offices have supplies for in- dividual breeder exhibitors. i Published every Wednesday as the big, action cross-country section in The Listowel Banner, The Wingharh AdvanceMimes and The Mount Forest Confederate.

Another change emphasizes performance as a requirement for the beef show ring. "Fairs now have two alter- natives under the program to set performance requirements for beef entries," Mr. Fisher says. "They can require all breeding class entries to be , tested or enrolled under an official Beef Cattle Testing Program or they can weigh all entries at the fair prior to 'showing and post the weight withthe animal's birth date in . the stall. Either way, •spectators get some idea of how the animal has performed." A recommendation of a swine breeders committee has been adopted in changes to the swine classifications. Fairs now will offer a classification for each of . five breeds provided each breed registers 1,000 pigs or more in Canada for the previous year. "This keeps the breeds that are actually important to the swine industry in the exhibition's limelight," Mr. Fisher explains. Breeding classes have been established for younger pigs, giving breeders an opportunity to display their latest selections From the beginning of the program, the classifications have been worked out by consultation with fair associations and breed associations. Based on these consultations, this is the first year that at least three exhibitors must show in each breed or grouping of breeds in order for the fair to be eligible for federal prize money. If a fair wishes, it may make this re- quirement more restrictive. Under the beef classifications, two-year-old females now must have calved or show evidence of being in calf. "This highlights again the practicality of the show 'ring," Mr. 'Fisher says. "It gives some indication of the animal's per - toward current market requirements. Record of Performance re- quirements for swine entries now ' are set ' on the basis of the Canadian average and should complement the national ROP swinelicy. A major change in the- sheep classifications introduces a get - of -sire class which eliminates the former ewe -with - lambs -at -foot class. The new class is for a group of three lambs with milk teeth, all by the same sire and born the property of the exhibitor. Both sexes may be represented in the group. There are no changes in the 1974 dairy cattle classifications. "Fairs and exhibitions are places that help Canadian breeders merchandise their purebred animals," Mr. Fisher says. "To do this effectively, the shows must keep pace with changes in market demands. It's up to each fair and 'exhibition to decide whether to use Agriculture Canada's classifica- tions. We believe those who do are finding a useful tool that keep them tuned to market demands and adds value to their shows." HOW CAN /P? By Anne Asldey, Q. How can I remove scorch stains from white shirts? A. If the scorch is light, and not burned in too deeply, you can try this: Cut a piece of tissue paper large enough to cover the spot, then drop a little peroxide on the tissue and while still wet, place a heated iron over the tissue. Often, when the tissue is re- moved, the scorch will have vanished. Q. I've been using clear fingernail polish to stop runs or snags in my nylon stockings, but it always turns white after I wash my hose. How about this? AA Try using beige or gold -tinted polish, instead of clear. Q. How can I improvise an ink blotter when the real thing is not at hand? A. Facial tissues make fine blot- ters...often better than the real thing! Q. How can I make a thorough job of cleaning the insides of vacuum bottles? A. ,prop torn -up tcraps ofaper inside the bottle, add a little bicar- bonate of soda and warm water, then shake the whole business well.

But vac- cination alone could not control brucellosis. , In 1957 a national blood test was introduced which has lowered the incidence of brucellosis to its current level of about 0.2 percent from 415 percent in 1957, he says. "We're de-emphasizing the . vaccination program for two reasons. Some vaccinated animals carry a reaction caused by the vaccine. This often makes it difficult in the laboratory to tell the difference between a reaction caused by, the vaccine and a reaction caused by natural in- fection. . "Also the vaccine only protects between 65 and 70. percent of the animals treated," • Dr. Lewis says. He is emphatic in stating that vaccinated animals cannot spread- brucellosis to- others in a herd. "When we vaccinate an animal for brucellosis it is treated with - a . weakened brucellosis bacteria. The dose does not give the animal brucellosis, and it cannot spread a eas -..:.' , doesn't have, F . ral g r ernment inspectors also visit da ' les and creameries across Cana.`. -- three or four times each year ,testing milk for traces of brucellosis. Blood ' samples ire also collected- for testing purposes from slaughter cows at packing plants. Herds passing tests at dairies and packing plants ' are . given credit. This means they do not have to be retested during regular tests conducted on all cattle every three .years. The system helps cut down the number of animals requiring testing and helps federal' officials keep tabs 'on the 'disease. Brucellosis can cause undulant fever in humans and can be contracted if a person. drinks- raw milk from an infected cow or comes into direct contact with infected material. The disease can mimic a number of ailments, such as arthritis, and produce a wide range of symptoms such as stomachache and fluctuating temperature. This wide range of symptoms makes diagnosis diffi- cult. . In the 1950s there were about 10 to 15 cases reported each year with a slight increase in the 1960s. There were 16 case reported in 1972 and seven cases of undulant ,fever recorded in 1973. For Form, Town and Country . Home 'Owers!
