The Wingham Advance-Times, 1975-07-24, Page 18,24, 1975 - CHESS POINTS eration has 0,000 members • 4 ;. 1 MOM WHAMS Of the World Chess is the province of Federation, official governing body S. chess activities. are several million chess players in the United !telt who enjoy a game dur- their lunch hour or after dinner, bat who never get more involved in the game than that. The USCF can count about 80,000 members. Thaw are the serious players who are sufficiently dedi- cated to the game to contrib- ute money to an organization concerned with the game's advancement. The USCF manbers pay their federation about .a half million dollars in annual dues- Each year they buy from the federation $700,000 in chess books and equip- ment. Together with tourna- ment fees and miscellaneous Income, they have built their federation into a million and one half dollars a year cor- poration. For that money, these seri- ous players achieve a nation- wide organization of their chess activities, appropriate- ly linked to a similar world organization. These are some of the actions taken at the re- cent USCF policy board meeting in May: -Appointed new members to the USCF college chess committee, and made a Bona- • tion to the Intercollegiate Chess League of America' for educational purposes. - Agreed -to help defray the expenses of U.S. players offi- cially representing their country and the USCF in in- ternational tournaments. - Reviewed and passed on bids from prospective spon- sors for several national and international tournaments. on the USCF schedule. -- Approved preliminary details of a prograrri to popularize chess in schools. In part of this effort, the USCF will pay the costs of si- multaneous exhibitions at schools by chess masters. 'For' the betterment o p.S. chesaa: *Maps 'the- moat im- portant effort any organiza- tion could rganiza-tioncould undertakewould be the encouragement of youth- ful players. The U.S. feder- ation devotes an appropriate atnow t of their energies to- .pard that goal. Day-by-day activities in the USCF are controlled by a policy board, which in turn is controlled by a board of dele- gated. Delegates are elected from each state federation, based on the number of USCF members in each state. Pres- ent policy board members are: Frank Skoff, New York, USCF president. George Koltanowaki, San Francisco, vice president Martin E. Morrison, New York, secretary Leroy W. Dubeck, Cherry Hill, N.J., past president E. B. Edmondson, New York, executive director. Policy board members are elected for three years. A new board will be elected at the USCF annual meeting in Au- gust - Game of the Week. One of the important USCF activi- ties is.to keep its membership informed about international chess events. A report on the match between Ulf Anders- son of Sweden and Bent Lar- sen. of Denmark, played in Stockholm, Feb. 10-23, was printed in the May, 19/5, "Chess Life and Review," USCF's official publication. Andersson won the match 5 and one half to two and one half. This is game three from the match. Match Stockholm 1975 B. Larsen White 1. P -Q4 2. P.QB4 3. N-QB3 4. P -K3 5. B -Q3 6. NB3 7.0-0 8. BxP 9.

REPRESENTATIVES Canadiatl Com:nunity Newspapers Association, Suite 51, 2 Bloor St., West, Toronto 962-4000 Ontario Weekly Newspaper Assoc . , 127 George St . , Oakville 884-0184 !.r . ; THESE CONVENTIONAL TRACTOR TIRES may be replaced by radial tires -at least for vehjcles that log more than 5,000 hours before being sold. Research is proving that radial tires may be a better buy over the long haul. Radial tires Based on present costs, fuel savings alone will not cover the extra cost of radial ply ;tractor tires, says an Agriculture Canada research engineer. But considering fuel savings and longer tread life, the radial tire is a better buy for farmers whose machines operate more than 5,000 hours -usually logged in five years ,,before being sold. It takes that long to recover the additional cost -about $400 for a tractor with 18.4 x 38 tires. Ben Dyck of the department's research station here gathered data from, several sources, in- cluding manufacturers,' the Uni- versity of Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory and North Dakota State University. "Farmers read lots of claims about tractors equipped with radial tires burning much less fuel than tractors with normal tires,'' Mr. Dyck says. One manufacturer claims in a documented test on plowed soil that fuel costs per acre were cut by 20 per cent when the tractor was fitted with radial tires. The tractor was pulling a double disc harrow in very loose conditions. "You have to remember that, in general, the looser the soil the greater the. benefits of radial tires," the researcher says. Under what Mr. Dyck calls more normal field conditions, these improvements in fuel economy were obtained, using a diesel tractor with the 18.4 x 38 radial' ply tires -5.1 per cent at maximum engine power. -2.2 per cent at three-quarters power. -4.5 per cent at half power. -five per cent at half power with reduced engine speed. "To recover the extra cost of the tires • through these fuel savings, it would take 3,162 hours of operation at maximum power, 8,429 at three-quarters power, 4,825 at half power, and 5,618 at half power with lower engine speed," Mr. Dyck says A Farmers say that half power with reduced engine speed is close to normal farming condi- tions. Another test, on clay soil with ati 18 -foot vibrashank cultivator, ,showed a reduction in- fuel con- sumption of 7.25 per cent when the tractor was equipped with radial tires. "With that equipment, and assuming fuel consumption 'of five gallons an hour, itwouldltake 2,828 hours of operation to pay the extra cost of the radial tires," the engineer says. Mr. Dyck also compared manu- facturers' data for°tread life. Hip studies show the cost • per hour operation for both radial and bias ply tires are about the same. . A bias ply tire shows 80-85 per cent tread loss after 2,742 hours of operation, while a radial tire shows a 50 per cent loss. The radial would show 80 per cent loss after 4,386 hours of operation, an improvement in tread life of about'60 per cent. "But remember that the initial cost of the\radial tire is greater," he says. Considering results of tests for both fuel, economy and tread life, Mr. Dyck concludes that the cost per hour of tractor operation swings slightly in favor of radial tires. . "But the farmer must consider the annual hours of operation and the total hours the tractor is used before it's sold before investing in radial tires," he says. 1 CROSSWORD + + By A. C.

"It is not .a case of an eye for an eye and a tooth, for a tooth," be says. "Mere vengeance and retribution should never be the alin of the law. But only with the, re -institu- tion of the noose can the law im- press upon the potential murder- er the awful gravity of taking life. It is only when the would. -be killer realizes that he may have to for- feit his own life for his deed, that the murder rate will go down. The reason we should bring the gallows back then is not to punish but to set a terrible example which will serve as seaming to others." Now if the years have taught me nothing else, I have long ago learned that it is not Only im- proper to argue with a clergy- man, but impossible. So let's as- sume for the moment that a man can be frightened out of any' temptation he may have to break the fifth commandmeht, and that execution is indeed a deterrent. May ` I suggest then to my preacher friend and all of those who agree with him that if we move Parliament to bring back the death penalty, we should do it in such a way that its deterrent effect is as powerful and far-reaching as possible. Seems to me that it was a mis- take to have yesterday's execu- tions closed to the public. It was, after all, an event for which the public had paid handsomely from its own. tax dollars. And by stringing the culprit up in strict- est privacy and at some ungodly hour of the morning, I think we were defeating the avowed purpose of the Iaw. I say, if we really believe that capital punish= ment is right because it is the best deterrent against murder, Jet's hold the eicecutions-aiiublic when we bring the law into force again. And I don't think we would need any Royal Commission to discov- er how this might best be done. The Saudis gave us Qa excellent example of the ideal execution when they beheaded Prince Faisal a few weeks ago. Now there was an execution that had everything. First of all, it had God behind it. The trial' and the verdict were those of a religious court. It had enthusiastic specta- tors -thousands of them. It had artistry-•-supe{'b artistry. A huge black -skinned executioner in a yellow silk robe who held a gold - handled sword aloft. Oh yes, and we mustn't forget the ritual. De- priving a man of his life without going through a solemn ritual of some sort has never been in good taste anywhere. And in Saudi Arabia the other day the' execu- tioner brought his gold sword down, three times before he actu- ally did the job, and there was a minute's pause between each stroke, to make sure the man be- neath him suffered sufficiently, And afterwards, just to make sure that no one in all that cheer- ing throng would ever entertain thoughts of shooting a king, the spectators had fifteen minutes to file past the chopping block and look at the two parts of the late Prince. Incidentally a public execution could be quite a grand affair over here too without it costing a cent; all the government would have to do to make it pay for itself would be to sell television rights. And why not? It wasn't very long ago that we were treated to a front seat in the Viet Nam war, thanks to firms selling everything from Polident to Geritol. Surely we wouldn't be squeamish about an event in which a single indivi- dual was going to die - an un- deniably guilty individual at that. Indeed, if we are convinced that the one reason for the restoration of capitalpunishment is to scare men into leaving their guns and daggers at home, I don't see how we dare overlook the potential of television. How could we hope to get the maximum deterrent without it?
