ockey Week
Once again it is tia' tine of year when
we are asked to support,rt inor hockey,
and to remind our readers of that already
. ue11°'-known •"slogan:L.. "Don't send -Take
your boy'to the arena".
Me- are -.willing to do. -this because. we
'agree there shoutd be special recognition
• of the men (and women) who make minor
( hock-ey possible here.
The Io -cal minor Mickey a assoc iatioh is
composeth,of enthusiastic, hard:Working
volunteers whose efforts on behalf of
local youngsters cannot be measured in
.hours or dolls . They make•it possible for,.
hundreds of or -youngsters to take part in
Canada's National sport. Every boy. in
wn can • have the opportunity to play, '
and none will be turned away. That's the
kind of an organization -it is.
More than that they contribute
,towards• the development ,not only of
stronger bodies, but oT 'healthier. minds
.and bet -t
youngsters off 'the streets and engaged in
healthy, supervised sport. 4' e do agree
with the slogan "To keep a boy out of hot
water ;puthim on ire'`. bur municipality
a. w
has- provided the ice;Our-Volunteers • do
•
• the work to "puthim on ice
While_ we pause long enough '_to . pay
tribute to :our minor , hockey workers,
similar . recognition of the thousands of
minor . 'hockey volunteers,` in Canada is
taken ' place right across the country;
every: municipality. in Canada is' doing nth' ._
► same thing during Minor Hockey Week.
Minor •Hockey Week .in--Canaia is One
of several worthwhile• projects of the
-...Canadian Amateur Hockey -Association, Considering- there ,are more than helve
and as-. a result of the C. A. H. A.'s thousand' minor- hockey teams in Canada,
.promotion, volunteer workers across the w it is not difficult, to visual`ze millions of
country are, being • told , their -work, is dollars being• spent to keep- the operation
appreciated. Some are being -made the ., doing. So it is• we realize ever one. r •

• at any speed or •price;Trere oovey
car drivers and fund-raisers .is one of the
most important objectives of . Minor
Hockey Week, it is not the ontyy, one.
Another is to "fo:us attention on Minor
hockey" This we gladly ck'
We do• so because we agree that minor
hockey is, an in'ipartant part of our
community life: It is an integral part of
the fabric of our cortimunity and a major
part:` of • the sperti-ng-' activities of our
municipality. We agree it is beneficial to
the youngsters, and because it is, it is
beneficial to the whole community. 'We
agree in addition to building stronger
bodies, minor hockey Contributes to the
development ofs'1 eater citizens while .it is
• keeping them occupied in a worth -while
endeavour -right, at an age when many of
them: might easily be engaged in pursuits
n _uch fess acceptable in society.
The statistics- issued by the . C.A.H.A.
.•'indicate yet another reason for supporting
in.r ho ke and editorializinin favour.
of Minor Hockey Week. The C.A,.H.�t:.
minor'. hockey committee points out that
minds hockey is an activity that not only
works for the' yourtgaters, but. pro 'ides
Work for .many adults in addition, turns
back to the Canadian economy more. than
five million dollars every year.

HEDGE AGAINST INFLATION?'
Thomas Wagge, vice' president of. the Federal Reserve:: Bank of •
'New York,,,notes that share,, prices in real terms are considerably
lower than in 1966,. Thus the°idea that equities offer 'a hedge against

soon run up into many dollars per. player,

Leadership in research
Over, ther-years, Canada 'has shown the
. way- to the world • in many aspects. of
medical. research. It was here that insulin,
the fife -blood of the- diabetic, was
discovered;, it was here that the Salk
vaccine -for, poliomyelitis was developed.
We should be proud that we `have in
Canada, doctors and medical scientists

THE BAN ON DDT?
The ban on DAT. -is -being challenged. Beekeepers say poisonous
substitutes are destroying their ,industry. Furthermore, owing to the
ban, the gypsy moth is spreading rapidly andravaging the.,forests.
Grubs• on .airfields die no longer, knocked out by DDT, so that the
.slangs area_►g
' ai attracted and in tum, are jeopardizing .aviation.

health r arg+ r, orstronger than: that°"pmduced in the era of DDT,
• Dr, C. R.: Harri's of the soil -pesticide division, Dept, of Agriculture,
London, Ont: said: "Pesticidepollution is 90 percent political and
10 percent., actual. I'm tired of listening to twittering old ladiesin
conservation clubs...and I'm tired of irresponsible labour leaders who
make absurd claims about pesticides poisoning grapes...we literally
run rhe risk of sterilizing the _environment,"

For -''the benefit of those whose basements leak it should be liquid
comfort to learn that whilst the .Romans never learned . how to
convey water under- pressure �in their lead pipes and hollow tree
' trunks, they did learn how to make their aqueducts watertight.
Incidentally the man who maintained the aqueducts supplying Rome
was none other than Frontinius Governor of .I ritain' 74 -to 78 A -D:
Perh • ps history,. ,when -intains inforrfiation. on how to "build
watertight_reservoirs and aqueducts,. is •not bunt: after all. 'Wily as
recently as 1926, the War Office contracted fol a reservoir at Perham
Down, near Tidw irtIr hich leaked when -completed. The contractor
pleaded, successfully, that'; the specification did not call for the
reservoir. -to be watertight!
