The Daily News, while a worthwile pro- ject, is one which requires this correspon- dent to work in excess of a dozen hours a day. It apaan cannot come home to a bottle of his favorite brew after a day of watching myriad . Pee Wee hoekex games. and pasting up.a prolific publication, then all canna hen& with the world. 1 have been forced to frequent bars which, if they have any beer at all, have long since run Out of my favorite brand. "Sorry, we have INQ real beer left," 1 am told. "Have you tried our Petrified Vat Droppings?" My own personal feelings aside, this absence Of brew will play havoc with the sporting world if allowed to continue much longer!. I keep getting this mental image of long - faced baseball players, sadly passing around a bottle of white wine after a dusty summer day on the diamond. Imagine the sullen silence in the dress-, ing rooms of recreational hockey teams across the province, as rugged defencemen and goalies alike, peer whistfully down the long necks of their post -game bottles of Lonesome Charlie. Picture the armchair jocks, hollering impatiently at their spouses to bring them yet another Pina Colada, to wash down their pretzels. Contemplate if you will, the fate of the Toronto Maple Leaf fan. He will be unable to stomach one more of. the Leaf's wretch- ed performances, without a comforting brew to tranqulize his frazzled nerves. And what will the audience on Don Cherry's Grapevine pretend to drink; if not beer. Surely imaginary cocktails must be even less pleasing to the palate then pretend suds. On a more serious note, " the big breweries are major sponsors of o r BY PATRICK RAFT'S. iNIMMENIMMOMMOMMI sports of both the profesgionaL and amateur variety. If they are financially crippled by this impediment to the retail of their product — so will be the sports to which they contribute. No one goes on strike fivolously, and the brewery workers are no exception. The ad- vant of canned beer and its subsequent popularity have given many workers just cause to fear for their jobs. The new aluminum cans are handled more easily, and do not have to be washed and labelled, as do the more cumbersome bottles. Such ease of handling naturally in- itiates a need for fewer workers. Any labor group faced with such a potential disaster would have to consider drastic measures. It is mere stubborness and lack of foresight, on the part of the Breweries themselves, that caused the two groups to come to lagerheads (pun intended). The companies surely foresaw the effect the in- troduction of cans would have on the labor force and should •have made adequate preparations. Early retirement incentives for long - serving employees and absorbtion of other workers into the massive brewery systerh are only two of many potentialsolutions to the problem. Solutions the wealthy big time brewers could easily afford. , The eventual financial effects of a pro- longed strike on the hotel industry and the brewing industry, to say nothing of the workers themselves, are staggering. It can only be hoped that a settlement; is reached before toomuch damage is done to these and other related groups and also, before I have to resort to drinking another Rusty Nail. Chess Club playoffs begin Well, the 1985 Goderich Chess Club playoff games have begnq, and already there are two players in their respective final rounds. In Level 3, Brian Brindley and Rob Nau played all three of their games to decide the winner. Brian put up a strong resistance, but Rob won the third game to advance into the finals. The situation was slightly dif- ferent in Level 4 as John Crawford defeated Mike 'Cox in two straight games and John now meets the winner between Barry Page and Dave Brown. Barry currently leads with one win. The pressure was on in Level 1, where Mark Maurer and Walter Gottschalk played against the clock. Mark won the only game of the evening. The game between Doug Brindley and Eric Hallam ended very con- . elusively in Doug's favour, as a queen- • knight combination proved devastating against Eric's defence. The other contestants, who have. yet to play, are making their own arrangement, and next week most of the finalists will be known. Note to Club Members, on March 13 all playoff games will be played at Doug's house.
