ONE FCASF RECORD THREATENED
Close Competition af Indoor Jump Meet
Watch those heels! And the boys
watched them at tiie PCASP indoor
jump champlonships i n Toronto Jast
Saturday. •
: The indoor jump champloiöhips
were revived last year by tiie -Viesti
in South Porcupine and have now be-.
come a regiilar. event ,/Which -»ill. be
held annually, This year's meet was
sppnsored by Yritys and the only
outside club represented was the
Alerts. •
Altiiough parUclpation was limited
the enthusiasm of the participants
indicated that interest is risihg and
next. year will probably see a better
turn out. • . •
The competition among the four
contestants i n the open class turned
out to be very close as the results i n -
dicate. This became evident in the
first event of the meet, the higih jump,
when ali four contestants cleared the
bar at '120 <an. without a mar. and
then one after another proceeded to
drop the bar ta their three attempLs
to d e a r 125. Thus they, were ali tied
for first place until they were given
another attempt i n which Rocky K i -
vimalti of Yritys succeeded leaving
the other three tied for second place.
d n the broad jump George Öhman
of Yritys lead the pace with a jump of
2 76 meters, but to win George needed
every centimeter, as'Len Boström tal-lied
a jump of 2.75 while Melvin Lat­vala
was i n the running with a jump
of 2.74. Although Rocfcy's name was
listed at the lower end of the list his
jiunp was only 5 cm. Short of the
winner's result.
I t was obvious that. the hop, step
and jump event would determine the
three-way championship and interest
among: bench-athletes and partici­pants
was a t a high pitch. Len Bos-tro-
m of Yritys stretched his long legs
to the limit to lead i n this event with
his 8.04 meter effort. George Öhman
followed . with 7.93 meters. Melvin
Latvala was third with 7.73 and
Rocky Kivimäki reached the 7.26 me­ter
mark. -
The final tally of pomts established
Len Boström of Yritys as the cömbin-ed
three-way champion for the year.
In the three events he achieved a to-tal
of 229.56 points. George Öhman
was right behind with 223.75 points.
Melvin Latvala third with 226.18
points and Rocky Kivimäki fourth
with 223.56 points.

UNDER 21 CLASS
In the under 21
three participants
Latvala of Yritys entered ali' three
events to win the combined cham­pionship.
Jorma was the only one
i n his class to enter. the high jump
in: which he cleared t;he no mark.
In the broad jump Dan Pitkänen,
•Yritys, formerly ofPort :Arthur. made
the best jump of the day and came to
within 4 cm. of the PC.^SP record
2.92 m. which is held by Ake Hunnak-ko.
A little more training and Don
should be able to betler this record
Allan Warren took second place with
a jump. of 2.75 m. while Jorma Lat­vala
f ollowed with 2.44 meters. ..
In, the hop, step and jump Allan
Warren took the lead by covering 7 37
meters. He was followed. by Don Pit­känen
7.27 m.,; and Jorma Latvala
6.97 meters.
UN-DER 17 CLASS
Robbie Saari of the Alerts -vi-alked
away with the most medals of any-one.
As a matter of fact he took ali
the medals for "nis class.. One of the
reasons for this was that Yritys was
unable to f i n d a corapetitor to putup
against Robbie.and just any old com-petitor
would not have changed the
Picture asRobbie turned i n some fine
results. In the high jump he reaohed
SILA WELCOMES NEW IDEAS
akehead Youth Commended
105 cm. i n the broad-jump 2JJI and;
in the hop. stsp and jump 6,90 m..
which added up to a total pf 196.76
points.
GY.M COMPETITIONS
In the past few years the interest
in gymnastics and apparatus has
been revived ln several centres and
to create further interest Yritys de-cided
to sponsor a gym competition
in conjunction with the Indoor jump
champlonships. There was some -hope
that other centres would send some of
their leading gymnasts. but only four
Yritys gymnasts wereentered for the
meet. • .•
Following the pattern of the jump
events Rocky Kivimäki took the lead
n the first event, the parallel.bars.
In the high bar event Len established
a good margin to be able to cop the
three way title over Rocky, despite
the fact that Rocky was judged the
best in the mat movements as well.
In the three way points tally Len
Boström achieved 44.125 points. Se­cond
place went to Rocky 37.625
points. Don Pitkänen was third 29.
317;points and Allan Waren fourth
wjth 25 500 points.
The gym competition indicated that
coasiderable headway has been made
in this fieM in the last few years and
it is hoped that more young people
will be dräwn into this -traditiona!
Finnish, field of athletics.
ANY VOLUNTEERS
One good thing about the indoor
jump champlonships is that even a
smaller club can arrange them be-cause
the expenses involved are rela-tively
low and no speclal «qulpment
is requlred. The presentlevel of re­sults
is still at a point where competi­tion
is not- restricted to experts. In
other words with a httle bit of train­ing
almost any athletically incllned
person can achleve "remarkably good
results. Lefs keep this i n mlnd for
next year. . v

! Port Arthur. — A delegation of
he National Federation of Labor
fouthof the Lakehead presented two
inefs to Mr. George Wardrope, M LA
or the, Port Arthur riding.- The llrst
ras a brief on jobs which has been
resented . througihout the province.
T-^-e second brief dealt with local de-na.
ids of the youth i n Northwestern
totano.
The local brief cointainedtwo main
omts — the immediate construction
a Steel mill in this' area and a
seetmg of ali levels of govemment to
ct :o alleviate the serious unemploy-nent
situation. The brief polnted out
hat according to local National E m -
iloyment Service figures there are
1,150 unemployed at the Lakehead
[nder the age of thirty Tivho have no
raediateprospects for Jobs.
Wardrope was i n l u l l agree-feni
with the idea of establishing
we" vould: get the natural gas.
However, i n the front page story
i n the Aprll T4th. issue of the 'News
Chronide" headed "Gas Pipeline
Revised", the intention of the Trans-
Canada Pipe Ltaes Limited is clear.
The new pian is to build a line to
Wtanipeg to pipe gas into the U.S.
midwest this year while simul-taneously
building up a market for
gas i n eastem Canada by bringing m
gas from the US, whichi -»ould later
be supplied with Canadian gas when
the Itae is constructed through On­tario.
Tiie Ontario government is re-ported
to have sat in on thse discus-for
the development of Industry.
The two biggest needs i n this area,
he agreed, were a Steel mill and a
university if we intend to hold our
youth.
We can ags-ee 100 precent on both
points. prOTiding a steel mill doesn.'t
remain a dream and becomes a reality
and the university must be a full
fledged college, not a junior college
as is proposed.
Mr. Wardrcpe agreed to write a
letter to Premier 'Frost outlining the
propcsals in the briefs and urging
the Premier to have the question of
unemployment discussed at . the

saying that "anjbody w!th new idea-s

Vancouver Youth
Have }m Plays
Under Production
Vancouver, B. C. — The younger
crowd in Vancouver, the VKakarat"
are producing two one-act plays on
the 8th of May;
The finnish play "Rikollinen" is
fairly well known to easterners. The
other however, in English, Oscar
Wilde's Salome; is not known as well.
The impression that most people
have of it Ls that left by seeing the
Hollywood version on film. Anyone
who reads the book and sees the film
is bound to agree with me that there
is little resemblance between the two.
As usual the movie makers have ta­ken
a very fine Story and completely
misrepresented it by playing up cer-tain
secondary features and disre-garding
the writ€r's interpretatlon.
To undertake such a difficult play
was very daring on the part of the
'Kakarat". We wish them every suc-cess
in staging it and giving.us a good
interpretatlon of the story — as the
aulhor originally wrote It.
It is very interesting to note that
this year Li the lOOth annlversary of
the birth of O-scar Wilde and this
will be a fitting opportunity to com-memorate
it. — HL

Soviet editors of youth and student
publications would be on their way
to vislt the US, meet and taik to
student editors of colleges and univer-sitiesfrom
coa.st to co*ast. This would
never do. , Why this is co-existencel
V/hat to do? Leave It to the dear
old State Department. Didn't they
come up with the sen.satlonaI la.st-minute
brainstorm which delayed the
visit of a Russian che.ss team a year,
restricting them to one hotel in Man­hattan
and forbidding them to visit
their fellow countr.ymen of the UN
delegation at Glen Gove, L. I.?
They did it again — and once again
the US can hang its head in shame
as our once proud reputation as a
civillzed and hospitable nation goes
down the drain. The .Soviet editors
would have to submit to fingerprint-ing.
like cnminals! It was a stroke
of ;jeniu!5. It worked, a.s they knew
