'am- has -fateful togicL By JOSEPH MILL BROWN One of the beauty parts ort Inedern obese la the tact that it is so goaded with fatefi logic like, for instance, the one which states that the more things change, the more they remain the same. This was borne out recently by the .announcement from somewhere in Bobby Flscher- land that those new rules for champoinship Inatcbee: (made at his demand) are $0- ung to o be changed again, (Or have elset, presumably, the world will have to. take the Consequences.) The new Fischer words ire that 10 victories (not six) shall henceforth be the standard,: with the added tickler that,. should the score reach 94, .the champion will rets his title, Thus, -the challenger, as be- fore, will need a two-point margin to win. " its the fact . that this rale had helped ex -Soviet . champiiort Mikhail Botvilnnk retain his title in two championship encounters, Fischer's new demand has become a puzzlement for the opposition. "Why has Fischer, who publicly stated that he could easily defeat any rival, now demand what amountsto a handicap?" asked the Soviet press agency Novosti -i-. a question more suitably directed to one of its own former champions, Tigran Petrosian, who obtained ' a masters degree in philosophy with a thesis entitled "Some Tit at, eiof the game, vetbal fireworks, Presidential be ti it's ,amt cert Bobby whive to come up with something else - ar what woult everybody think?

Dear Mr. McCallum: Crossroads March 14,1974 Editorial entitled "Landowners vs Hydro" I recently obtained a copy of. the subject newspaper article and wish to thank you for giving Ontario Hydro credit for pro- ducing the code of field practices. It is all too infrequently that we receive such recognition and we are therefore most appreciative of it. I am very much concerned ,however about your comment that there are many statements in the manual that are a great contrast to Hydro's actual pr tice.. You also stated that yo have a long list of evidence that Hydro's property negotiators do not act as laid out in the manual and to get the land they sometim- es resort to any method. At the outset, I would observe that there are always two sides to any situation of this. nature and frequently positions are taken more on an emotional' basis than on a logical one. I am sure we, would both have to agree that sit- uations are bound to arise where it might appear that some injus- tice has been done, but on the basis of the information available I have no reason to believe that Hydro's negotiators took unfair advantage of any land owners. There have been several sim- ilar complaints and accusations from the farming community over the past months. On a num- ber of occasions 'I have attempted to elicit the kind of details that would be helpful ih surfacing the problem but as yet have notbeen successful. In .the meantime, I can only state that they do not.de- scribe the negotiating practices of Ontario Hydro and either they are gross distortions or com- pletely untrue.

We ,need your co-op- - eration. to achieve this objective and in this regard, if, you. have in- formation that would justify per- suing the matter further, would you please let me have it? To this end, what I require is the specific list of evidence'that you mention- ed. including names of the in- dividuals involved.

YOU CAN FIX -IT By Genu Von • WIRING TIP Just in case you don't already know it, here's a little reminder about one of the. most common of house- hold electric chores - the connection of tht wires to an outlet plug. Be sure to loop each wire around the prong before fastening the bare end under the set screw. In this way you'll be adding strength to the Connection and also minimizing the danger of any short circuit. A W.EEL HAS AN EXTENDED SPOKE. TO ROLL. TWE Tip or 714E SPOKE AS TWE WI-IEEL ROLLS ALONG.
