ISS Campaign Praise dBy Campus Notable s

Conducted by UBC Veterans fo rInternational Scholarships

This week a campaign is being conducted among campusveterans in support of the proposed scholarships and bursarie sfor German and other European students sponsored by th eInternational Student Service .

i

Early in the year a committee

was formed to study the method s

of handling AMS finances as a re-

sult of charges of mismanagemen t

in the previous session, The com-mittee after due deliberation realiz-

ed the necessity for continuity o f

policy in financial matters and dis-

cussed the appointment of a busi-

ness manager .

Paul Plant, AMS treasurer, how -

ever, proposed the forming of afinance board and the committee

adopted the proposal with three dis-senting votes, In view of this fail-

ure to achieve complete unanimity ,the committee decided to "go, to th e

people", and give the general stu-

dent body the opportunity to decid e

on the course of policy which wil l

control their financial affairs .

The students will be asked to

choose one of three courses whic h

are listed hereunder :

1 . The appointment of a Financ e

Board which will consist of MAD

treasurer, and a representative fro m

each year excluding first year .

These board members will be se-lected by the students council fro mapplicants from the various year s

and faculties . MAD treasurer wil lhandle MAD matters, the secondyear representative . LSE and the.

Board finances, the third year rep-resentative, USC matters, the fourthyear representative, LES and thefifth year represenative will act a s

assistant treasurer, AMS treasure rwill be chairman of the board . Much

of thv administrative work will b etaken off the hands of the Treasurer

and handled by individual hoar d

members for their particular . sectio nof student activity.

2— The hiring and employment of apermanent business manager whos e

duties would include taking ove r

much of the administrative duty o f

the AMS treasurer and cluing th eactual business accounting Such abusiness manager would be a pai d

employee of the AMS. Financia lpolicy would still he handled by th e

elected tr easurer .

3 . Retaining a status quo sot-u pfor at least another year .

In voting on the referendum, stu-

dents will be asked to mark thei rballots according to their singl e

preference . Only one of the abov e

courses will be adopted ,

BaYots will he given out uponpresentation of AMS cards at thesame time, and at the same places ,

as those for the presidential elec-

tion ,

Prominent campus figures have de -dared their wholehearted support o fthis worthwhile effort .

President Norman Mackenzie statedthat If we believe in our own sys-tem of government I think it is nec-essary that we try to keep demo-cratic as much of the world as possi-ble, ,"

He said that this could be done bydemonstrating and explaining how wefunction as a democracy to the peopl eof Europe . "The very exchange o fpeople complete with ideas and cus-toms is as valuable to Canadians a sit is to Europeans" he declared .

Dave E'rousson, AMS president ,pledged his support to the campaig nas did Legion president, Mike f. .tkec ,who stated that he believed that th eone dollar eNpel'iment was too C110n p

to pity for what he considered to b ea most commendable experiment i npost-war relations .

There has already been consider -able response to the appeal . Bil lCameron, first, contributor and ex -POW, declared when ' interviewed '''Vitally necessary international un-derstanding and goodwill cannot b emaintained while we hold to th ecreed of 'an eye for an eye, ' We mu' thave a community of nations . "

Contributions can be made all thi sweek and total support for the cam-paign on the campus is expected .

Lm Mackenzie this year's Junio rMember, pointed out that the finan-cial condition of UBC has in the pas tyear improved, as has UBC's relation -ships with other universitie s

"1 aim at a reduction in studen tfees," he stated . Mackenzie suggeste dthat one way of lowering studen tfees would be to cut the cost cif pro-duction of UBC's student newspaper ,The Daily Ubyssey .

Curran pledged himself to enthusi-astically back construction plans fo rit medical faculty, the War Memoria lGymnasium and e campus residencefm women .

Curran, descrihod for c"mpeign pur-poses as "the big little man for a bi gjob", wants also to "organize an dcoordinate campus activity, to forwardUBC and the AMS, and to promotethrough NFCUS, the meintemince o fthe position of UBC "

Baum blasted Mackenzie's suppor tof the idea of continuity for Counci lMembers . "By preserving a so-calle dcontinuity, one is liable to run int othe situation of where members say :`Ttat's not the way we did it las tyear', with the result that new idea sare squashed completely . "

McConnell, veteran radioman, pledg-ed himself, to snaking up the remain-ing deficit in funds of $12,000 . "I woul dlike to pay tribute to the presen tadministration," he stated . "It is fil la continuation of that policy for whic h1 ask your endorsement "

McConnell said that the "festerin gand cooperation of the AMS for astrong alumni fund" is vital . "Poten -Iirlitics in scholarships would 1) err.ore fully reedited ." he concluded

Army Huts Are False Econom yThe false economy of housing complet e

UBC faculties in fire trap army huts ha s

been proven in two costly disasters this term .

In addition to the loss of laboratory equip-ment, lecture accommodation and hooks at a

time when the university is hard pressed t (

provide these services, students in both o f

this winter 's fires have suffered the loss of ir-replacable theses, essays and researc h

records .At the end of the war when UBC's popu-

lation trebled overnight, the university mad e

a courageous pledge to ttcecpt all students ,

veterans or non-veterans . It commandeered

and cajoled for the abandoned army hut s

which would provide the lecture room space

for its mushroomed student hotly, Army hut : ;

filled the breach for lecture rooms, but arm y

huts are obviously dangerous depositaries fo r

invaluable books and papers .

For three years UBC 's law library has

been housed in exactly the same type 'of hu t

as those swept by fire this year .

If UBC 's law library is next (in the army

Have the days of beer-and-pretzel poli-tical campaigns gone forever ?

Judging from the results so far UBC stu-dents'can look forward to election campaign s

about as sparkling as yesterday 's ale .

It is certainly no reflection on the matur-ity of the candidates to conduct their earn-paigps with a eye to attracting votes from th e

thousands of students who are not intereste d

in colorless election speeches .The plea that it takes a lid of money t o

conduct a colorful campei!.,n is nonsense . Asl t

Dave Brousson .

Where Are The Beer And Pretzel s

'Efficiency Can BeWhatever adventa,ge,s may seem to de-

mand the appointment of a full-time busines smanager for the Alma Mater Society, ther ecan be no doubt that a permanent strangerin student government can only decrease th e

freedom which under'gr'aduates have com eto accept as an essential part of their campu slife,

This is the issue which voters will fac etomorrow . Is it worth the sacrifice of self -government to gamble on the possibility o fincreased efficiency in the paper work ed-

The time has cone for courageous actio nfrom the provincial government to matchthe forthrightness of the university itself i n1JH Oting the original problem of increasedenrollment .

Three years ago the university was prom-ised a permanent home economics buildin gin the government's five million dollar build-ing program, But other buildings with higherpriorities came first and ate up the mone yallocated for home economics .

University planners are considering build-ing still more huts similar to those note a tUniveFSity Boulevard and the Main Mall .It is a dangerous expedient .

A university which must always face th efear that its work may be destroyed in on enight can never fully concentrate on its im-portant functions, a fact that must be con-sidered by the provincial House which is du eto open its Victoria before the end of this

Without this crowd-catching type of ex-iraveganza students lose interest in the elec-tions and minority machine politics begin sto become effective . That's the greatest singl edanger that student government has to face .

Less than 600 students turned out. to hearyesterday 's speeches but we suggest that 6000would come to watch pretty girls paradealong the Mall—and learn more about th ecandidates in the bargain .

Past eunuchs who ruled with the assist -mice of ti business manager found to thei rch I .4i in that government was not entirely i ntheir hands . It was only natural that fresh-facecl Cmuncillors new to their jobs shouldtepee! the advice of a business manager who 1

letters to the editor

TAKES EXCEPTIO N

Editor, The Daily Ubyssey : 4ir--1 take exception to a letter in you rTuesday issue, headed "Deity o rDamnation" . The correspondent i sindeed a master of self-contradic -tion, and is adept at tossing of fpleasing phrases in his simple state -ment of faith which are unsupporte d:y logic, and which possess only nscarcely honorable emotional appeal .The following quotations typify th eirresponsible thinking of the cor -respondent .

"UBC students, awake and lear nr8 the gravity of your perilou splights . "

;'Search the Scriptures wherei nthere is life . "

I quote only these two samples asbeing the outstanding failures i nhis argument . I tell you, he neve rexplains what our plight is, or wh yit is grave . Also, he never justifie sthe Bible as a basis of spiritua llife, as compared to other equall yplausible, and so equally acceptable ,sacred books . These others at leas tdo not eulogize a hateful God ven -geance on the one hand (that is ,they do not depict the struggle o fa chosen people against the Go dthat chase them) not have the y , o nthe other a cruel, ascetic, almos tNietzschean Superman Messiah wh oblasted fig trees, killed herds o fswine, and reversed the laws o fnature by raising people from th edead, an absolutely mons t rous act ,vvl,en considered in a moment of re -flection . This is the Christ whic hthe student would have me abne -gate myself to, a man whose lif ewas not one of Universal Compas -sion, but was instead one of senti -mental humanism .Before closing this letter I would

remind my zealous friend of som ewords written by John Stuart Mil labout his father, the noted 19t hCentury agnostic .

He found it impossible to believethat a world so full of evil was th eYork of an author combining infin -ite power and perfect goodness ."

"Think . , . of a being who woul dstake a Hell—who would create thehuman race with the infallible fore -knowledge, and therefore with th eintention that the great majority o fthen) were to be consigned to hot• -Iihle and everlasting torment . "

Well, fellow student! Is this th eCod that you would ask us to pros -trate ourselves before" I would beglad to hear from you at your oarli -(st convenience, in this column .

Respectfully yours .AN UNBELIEVER .

OFFERS ARGUMENTS

Editor, The Daily Ubyssey : Sir--reply to a childish protest' agains t

1I , unrestricted use of reason whic hn, .pcued in the Ubyssey of Jan . 2. ,1 should like to offer two argu -ments and raise two questions ,which, if the writer had considered .might have prevented him fro mevacuating his emotions in print .

First, the )acceptance of the " pla nof salvation" mentioned by thewriter, must, if I . involves partia lfailures of imperfections of detai les in the case of Nebuchadnezzarand total failures as in the case o fel least one UBC student, also impl y., corresponding defect in the per -Met, omniscient and omnipoten tMaker . If it is claimed that the

'plan" is perfect when viewed i nit's entirety by God, the imperfec -lions existing only for finite mind ,1 reply that such a God is short -sighted! and besides, the "plan "exists solely for God's creatures .C;cd himself needs neither salva -tion, edification, nor entertainment .

Second, if we assume that God' snature does not admit of the mora lhint which must attach to any be -ing who creates an imperfect worl dit follows that since God is omnis -cient and can only act' as a pur-posive agent . He did not. create th eworld .

Does the "UBC student" admi tthat for a belief to be valuable i tmust be consistent with other he -liefs that possess a high degree o fprobability than it, and if so, doe she suppose that two beliefs, thoug hstutctioned by faille and the Bible :can both be true if they ore con-

traries ?Does "UI3C student" question on e

of the beliefs that he finds in th eBible, and if so does he regard th eauthority of the Bible or any par ,of the Bible its a guarantee of th ebeliefs with which he is in agree -ment ?It is cnly in the interests of genu -

ine religious experience and philos -ophy that one needs to combat blas -phemous exhortations to worship

I . being unintelligible and offen -sive, both to intellect and the highe remotions,

Sincerely ,

LOVER OF GOD .

TOO MUCH PUBLICITY

Editor . The Daily Ubyssey', Sir--Just a few words with regard to amatter which seems to be gather -iug, a measure of publicity far he -vend that which it warrants .

Here in the law school . we havemt owl . Somehow or other, the cog -nizance of this fact has reache dyour estimable newspaper, with th eresult that you devoted a good dea lcf space to an afffluvium on therebiect .

in order to set the student sensei' outrage (ever ready to take u p

the cudgel far anything( at rest ,feel that certain developments whic htrek place after the owl wits inter -viewer) by the Ubyssey, should beelude known . As I write horri dvisions of the Civil Liberties Unio ncrowd upon me ; and already fain tmurmurs of hostility are heard i nour haven of jurisprudence .

Firstly then, having received th eintelligence that various technician s( n the campus were endeavoring t o, .plain the owl far purpose of' sci -entific research, I went immediatel yo year office, armed with a wri t

„f hrhel~s corpus pro(esl from your -self, sir), Though the arm of too-la3ist McTaggnri-Cowan is lon g( ;rod cruel and grasping) that of th eiltty is longer .And, activated withal by a spiri tf mercy and respect for our fea -

thered friends, I think I can statecategorically that, though the com -n,on law may have no cognizance o fhark, our benign legislature ha sseen fit to grant them some measur eof protection from the snare of th efowler (and ejusdem genesis, thezoologist ) ,laic place in our humble shack, and

Ihares an office with a professor ,untli quarters more commodious ca nlie prepared for him, It is certai nthat, whatever his crimes or sin set' the past, he is now a respectedmember of the profession ; and Ids

lisped that his association with th efsculty of law will he not only lon gand happy. but beneficial to all con -cerned .

110T "AUiD" SOCIALIST

Editor : Daily Ubyssey, Sir :After reading your "impartial "

line up of candidates for studen tbody president, I felt that a fe wadditional notes of explanationmight he of some assistance to th estudents who, after all, might lik eto really know the candidates.

I was most favourably impressedby the way in which three of th ecandidates received very compli -mentary and "student pleasing "notices . There was one candidat ehowever, who left me slightl ypuzzled . Who is this fearsome fel -low Jim Sutherland? — this social -ist politician avid, no less) .

E'eing naturally suspicious o fthese politician fellows, I felt urgedto investigate this fearsome debato rand see if he were as tough as hisphoto warrants, because, i felt, thi sfair campus should not be overcas twith fear .

Can you imagine my surprisewhen I w>.s%int'oduced to this chapJim Sutherland. He was so quie tand so unlike his picture in th eUbyssey .

It was mentionel also that he wa sa veteran, but not quite in the samedescriptive terms as the other vet -eran candidates. Just to enlargeslightly on that one word veteran ,it might be added that Jim Suther -land served three years in Greece ,Italy, North Africa, Crete an dMalta in the air-crew of the RCAF.

Jim Sutherland's student activi -ties have, in the past two years ,been limited to being president ofthe Varsity United Nations Clu bin 1947-48, (a hot bed of Socialis trevolt) and president of the Parlia -mentary Forum, (another socialis tplatform) .

After another quick perusal of th eoriginal article in your paper, I fel tthat there was one accurate andwell meant (it is to be hoped) wort )and that is respected .

Thanks for the space and theopportunity to remove the politi -cal tinge from the forthcoming stu -dent elections .

the pleasure of owning a woman who (bles sher little heart) thought we were "perfect, "

Miserable Old ,Cynic sBut gee—let 's not get so hard and cal-

loused about all this that when some littl egirl, with her heart in her eyes and a shinin g

little tiara of heavenly stars in her hair ,thinks that she has the perfect man (an dmaybe she has, by Harry) that we can lea n

back in our chairs, stroke our mustaches, an dsay ha ha ,

No, Paul . Maybe there aren't any perfect ,husbands in this world, and we miserable ol d

cynics are right, after all ; and that little gir lis wrong .

But gosh, even if in terms of the historica limperative, or the matrimonial absolute, sh e

is wrong, yet she seems to be happy . Andproud, too .

Why, without any trouble at all, you ca nsee her standing there, with her hand on hi sturn, and that look on het' face, for all th eworld to see .

And it isn't hard to imagine her as sh ekissed him goodbye, as he left for work in th emorning, and dropped her hands from hi',coal lapels, and stood there in the doorwa ywatching him until he reached the corner ,waved, and went out of ,sight .

And how, thinking of HIim, she sighed ,

tnl inside', end then (thinking, (il' you, Paul )set dew) all her note writing desk ; and (wit h

timid] fhinry of rt .'smltiion, she picked up

her wedding gift stationery (with the newprefix "Mrs." before her new name) an dwrote a little note to you, telling you howwrong' you were .

It was her little act of love, you see ; some-thing she wouldn't—couldn't—tell her hus-band when he came home, but she had to tel lsomeone how happy she really was ,

And you, Paul ,What did you say ?

You Wise Man, Yo uYou were so wise, you Marriage Dkpert ,

)hut you reached out your Expert hand ,picked up your Expert pen, dipped into you rExpert ink, and with all the dread, deadl ydeliberation of a man pouring acid on a rose ,you wrote :

Maybe you're right, Paul . Maybe she wil lWrite you ten years from today, and say ; Mr .Marriage Expert, you were right, after all .

But I hope she never aloes, Paul : And Ihope you are wrong .

It may be the valour of ignorance, ol dfriend, But I cannot help ihinking.that some-time :; it is feu' better to he wrong, hut happy ,limn to he dead tight, and dead misera }

Prexy Candidates Outline Platforms Abstract Art Amazin gBen McConnell : Maintain Autonomy !Describers Declar eFive presidential candidates farina slnrlcnt v'titers Wed-

nesday list their platforms below . Polls will hp open from10 a .m . to 4 p .m . All AMS students are eligible to vote .

Gordon Baum: Representative StudentCouncil ; Maintain Rigid Fiscal Policy

In accepting this nomination I do so without any doubts as

to the immensity of the task . My experience on the campus ha sbrought me in contact with practically every university grou pincluding the Administration and Alumni which has enabled m eto appreciate the problems and the points of views of each .

My platform as far as can he plan-

ned on paper and based on a close r

cooperation with these groups is :

1 . To establish a representative Stu -

dent Council in lieu of the presen t

inadequate quasi-bicameral tCounci l

---USCi system . I am convinced tha t

this can be achieved without increas-

ing the Council to more than 1 5

members .

2 . To maintain a rigid fiscal policy .

3, To keep the student. body bette r

informed of the financial position o f

the Society ,

4, To coordinate the functions o f

the "Service " clubs .

Ian Mackenzie: Fee Reduction flan ;Support of NFCUS ; Increased Efficiency

If I am elected, I can offer continuity on Council to carr y

forward the work begun this year .My platform is :

I . To reduce student fees, by :

The early building of t'he Wsm

Memorial Gym .Increasing participation in ath-letics .Publishing the Ubyssey at one -

half the present cost .

Applying the budget surplus t othe reduction of fees .

2. To continue our geed public rela-tions policy by supporting :

NFCUS .The administration 's Public Re-lations policy .

3, To increase the efficiency of th eorganization within the AMS by en-suring :

The better functioning of USC .That student pubiicatic ns are ti n

the campus on time .By continued co-ordin:ui,m an dcontrol of AMS functions .

Jim Sutherland : To lire Busines sManager ; Foster Student Exchang e

candidacy, as AMS presi

extra-curricular ac -

inter-change of stu-this university an d

others, both foreign and domestic .

3 . The system of finance decide dupon by you in the forthcoming refer-endum .

My personal recommendation o n

this last point is the hiring of a pair s

employee as business manager .

Whether you vote for me or not ,

I earnestly request you to get ou t

end vote, and regardless of the nut-

et .em: I promise ns,' complete suppor t

to whomever is successful .

ternal financing started this year, and continuation of studentprojects underway such as the War Memorial Gymnasium .

The AMS in other respects shoul dprovide every possible means to brin g

home to the public our activities her e

gl nd to make UBC an integral part

of the community ,

The greatest cooperation to pro:

mute it strong alumni tie should beundertaken to insu r e a broad basis ,of support for UBC such as is enjoyed ,by older universities .

The proposal of N!'CUS to provideguars to deserving students shoul dIn worked out in detail so that i trat be brought into effect in the nea rfuture .

I feel it is necessary, particularl yfollowing the AMS Election Meeting ,to render perfectly clear, my stand o na business manager for the AMS . I tis evident that the decision on thi sproblem lies, NOT with the Presiden tin . the Council, but with the elec -(I ; etc of the Al1IS . My position wa send is, that irrespective of the vobe a tWednesday 's plebiscite, I shall mak e

TEAMS O K

Editor, The Daily Ubyssey : Sir--Recent sports editorials and poorreports of games have come to m ynotice . As a visitor to the city, an dwithout prejudice apart from a ninterest in college sports, I feel fre eto make comments .

The heading "what's wrong wit hour basketball teams" struck me a speculiarly had taste in a colleg epaper supposed to he supportingstudent activities . There are som eether questions I would like to ask .Roving been to some recent evenin ggames in your gym . I was surprise det the comparatively poor attend-ance and) lack of spirit amongst thestudents who were present . Suc hItmark .s' as those written in vo l

uspells panis of course, would hardl yhells In dh'oo is crow d

Also noticed a lack of sportsmen -ship off the floor by some student s:ho :Ipp~urntic

Now i twould only he natural to expect col-lege teams to receive proper suppor tfrom the student body the facult yand the college paper . Surely the;minis have ii right to expect an dreceive encouragement .

On reeding r,n article by cn o"Ron Pinchin" (I quote) "It's wha tgoes on between the lines that'ecunts"--a knowledge of shorts i ncolleges lends me to assue th ev:riler that there is nothing "be-tween the lines" but sheer har dwork between dally practices an dweekend hens, games art :) trips .Meet of the social affairs have t ohe snlcrificd .

Students seeing the Lionel Thomas show of the semi -abstract and abstract paintings in the Art centre may be excusedfor coming away a little dazed . So do some of the experts .

The over-riding consideration in my platform is the efficient, The art of Lionel Thomas reflects;

interest in the relativi

theories member, none of us could walk once ,

Included in these duties is the completion of t1ie' task of in- ) hi e

Einstein . Space, to Ttyhorns, is but by perseverance and practice we

mastered the art of locomotion . Thesame thing must be clone in order t ounderstand the abstract expression .

Representational art is what the av-erage layman is accustomed to in art .The viewer likes to see a paintin gas he might see a scene or actio nin life . However, in art, we hav ethe clement of imagination in one o fits strongest fields . The artist no tonly sees with his ordinary senses bu the "feels" and senses with his emo-

f lions and applies his imagination and1 dramatic training to canvas .

Look for your own experience i nthe paintings . Read the colors anddesign from your own private sym-

bology ."Culturist" is a good canvas to star t

off in seeing the Thomas show . Thenview "Red Tongue " , and "Garden an dHouses" . From these move on to th ereal abstract hangings .

Two trips through the show will bewell spent .

The rest of the gallery has a veryinteresting Maritimes Art Associatio n

quite possible that the players don' tentirely enjoy losing too many game seither . So why rub it in when youunderstand the reasons for it? Myopinion is that you have a first clas steam in the making, which wil lshow in time, In any case they pla ygames worth watching .

WANT HELP

Editor, The Daily Ubyssey : Sir--Would you he kind enough to prin tthis plea for support of the student -sponsored fund for bringing Ger-man students to Canada .

When the resolutions pertainin gtc this fund woe introduced at th elast AMS meeting, they were en-dorsed almost unanimously by th estudent body . I doubt that it wasthe eloquence of Cliff Greer . wh owas only barely audible over th eloudspeakers, which determined th emeeting to pass these resolutions .Bather it was a realization tha tunderstanding and human sympath yare the only means by which inter -national goodwill can be achieved .This, together with the natural stu-dent camaradie, transcending inter -national harriers, and an apprecia-tion of the implications and im-mense possibilities of such a project ,cephred our imaginations .

I ant certain that there is nothingn:hic'y tiro :ie students, can do t ofurther goodwill cnnongst peopleswhich is likely is have better andmore lasting effects than these pro-posals . We were enthusiastic abou tthe plan when it was int•nduce :l .end the possibilities are still real ,Let's dig down for a duller (pay -able at the A7cIS office) and put ou rtesolulious to the practice' test .

Cordially yours ,BILi. CAMERON, EX-P .O .W .

Veterans Lead 'Bird~

To Win Over Vikingt

SHOWED THE WA YBut it was Dave Campbell that

really showed the way for the Pom-fretmen in the Saturday night tiff ,Campbell had been warming the benchright through the tassel until abou ttwo minutes of the second half .

And then when the fireballing Bird -man did hit the floor he snagged thefirst rebound he could get his handson and then the whole 'Bird aggrega-tion came to life .

Usually it is the first eight minutesof .the second half that spells thedownfall of the 'Birds, but not Satur-day night .

And then the 'Birds swung into th elead and held on . Campbell kept upthe fireball pace . Munrom, who ha dbeen oht Friday with a bad ankle,began to hit the hoop in that old'Bird style, and the boys were away .

BELLINGHAM INVASIONThe sizeable crowd of UBC students

that found their way to the collegegym at Bellingham yelled themselve shoarse from there on in as their tea mbegan to take on the semblance of ared-hot ball club .

"Long John" put a few of his hookshots, and actually scored most of hi sfree shots, previously the 'Birds bi gweakness .

Puck Contest'

UBC Thunderbird tackle the

Westminster Cubs on Wednes•

day night at the Forum. This

is the last' game for the locals

until the play-offs .

The game will be worth four point sto the winners due to a revised sched-ule. These four points are essentialto the Birds if they are to cop to pposition in the league.

For this important encounter the'Bird lineup will be intact . Bill House

will likely guard the lacing for th e

locals in this game, The outstanding

performance of Don Adams }art wee k

will make it difficult to leave him

out. Bill has also shown superlative

ability at times and might come up

with another of his top performances .

The 'Bird squad is now firmly nn -

trenched in second place and should

they win they will be but one gam e

behind the Nanaimo Clippers : . ,
