Beaver Lake Meet
ShowedNewinteres1
In Track and Field
Last weekend saw one of the inost
successful sports meets that haa been-held
in the Sudbuxy dlstrict for a
ntunber of years. Ev«n the weather
co-operated and the day tumed out
Eimny and wann although not too
hot. The meet was sponsored by the
Jehu and eventa were scheduled for
ali classes.
Speed tumed out the greatest
number. of athletes and the club has
become the strongest contender in
track and field in the Sudbury dls­trict.
What they lack in quallty is
made up in quantity and enthuslasm.
Active athletea of the club seem to be
following bne of the basic prlnclples
of amateur sports, whIoh Is to place
more emphasls on: partlclpation than
on winnlng. This is .probabiy the
main reason why the club has regls-tered
a. contiiioua Increase in active
membershlp. , •
. Tlie club is also.one of the few in
which the athletes themselves play
a leading part in the leadership of
their club and^ equally shoulder the
responsibilities ihat the club faces.
Aa can be expected.Speed athletes
won the largest ntunber of trophies
although Jehu members also to(A a
good share. despite the f act that
Speed athletes outnumbered them. r
Generally the results were low.
which is not surprising 2H this was the
first officlal meet of the season. How-ever,
there Is every Indication that
resuits will improve and 'that athletes
will be.in top form before the liltto-juhlas.

During the week the c l u b w l l l be

The winning tickets w i l l be drawn at
the dance. Friday night, J u l y 8/ t h e

The Saturday night dance, July 9.
w i l l be held at the F i n n i s h . H a l l in
Whitefish i n r e a l old-fashioned poika
style. If you feel s t i f f after the two
dances eaflier i n the week then this
is a dance you can't aford to miss,
because there is nothing better for
atiffness than the music of K i n n u -
nen's accordian. Even cripples w i l l be
throvving aside their crutches and;
cutting capers o n t h e floor.
F i ' om the athletic point of view
there is n o better t r a i n l n g for the 100
m., hurdles a n d j u m p s . t l i a n t r y i n g to
keep time to a faat poika. Athletes
are however, advised to leave their
sweat suits at home, becau.se they
w l l l deflnitely be unnecessary during
this special t r a i n l n g session. T h e club
w l l l of course not be rejtponsible for
cases of over exertion.
; The profits f r om the dances will be
used to send a club team to the l i i t -
tojuhlas i n S o u t h Porcupine. As the
number of active athletes has i n -
creased greatly over the past perlod
of time, a lot of money Si\ required and
theiref ore i t is necessary f p r the club
to really drive for l u n d s i n t h e few
weeks that remabi.
The sports meet on Sunday, J u l y 10

achieved, h a d favared a C a n a d i an
flag. In 1837 wlten the "Patriotetf'
rose tb fight for freedbm and inde-pendence,
they held aloft a banner
woven together secretiy by theh- wo-men.
But the rulers of the land
drowned in blood the desires of the
people and tore to ribbons the flag
that waB their emblem.
The scene with the Canadian ship
was repated iii varying forms in
many foreign ports during the fortles
as the Caiiadian merchant fleet grew
in niimbera and sailed to a score of
lands for the first time.
On one vessel, after some friendly
hecklUig by longshoremen, the Cana­dian
seamen did rafcse a Canadian
flag. Tlie eallors pälnted a large
green ma^le leaf on a white cloth,
and when the captaln was looking
the other way, lowered the Ensign
and replaced it wlth their creation.
The ship caused qulte a atlr as it
stedmed into port. Tliis action of
course did not go down well with offi-cialdom
back i n Ottawa. But nobody
mlstook the Bhip for anything but C a ­nadian
as the maple leaf is a well
known symbol of our country. The
Maple Leaf banner. waa a luaty aind
dramatic demontration for a - Cana­dian
flag.
Sentlment for a flag is nationwide
in character and our govemment is
having mucb difficulty in bullding a
dam against it. The waters of n a ­tional'
conscibusne» are rlsihg and
threaten to. engulf anything that
stands in. the way of natlonhood. Likie
ttie eeamien. the Canadian people arb
taklng matters into tbelr o#n handa
and are^ demahding a flag that can be
greeted aa the banner that waves tor
the nrhole countrjr.

ing design w i t h clean-cut Iines. Two
colors red and whlte, divlded diago-nalJy,
f o rm the background for a
green maple leaf i n the centre. It
wa/> p l a n n c d to de/tlgnate the b i - n a -
tional' character of our country, a nd
dellberately omitted symbols of any
past.lmperiallsms.
The white, which forms the base,
stands for F r e n c h Canada and. r e -
calls this nation'» long hLstory aa t he

development of C a n a d a under the B r i ­tish

Vancouver. — To eay that the ref.
cent visit of the " K a a r a t
ter% Cornerä was a big success
respects would not be sticklng
ly to the tnjth. Although the good
polnts of the venture do out-welgh
the «eaknesass. a t least so evcryone
,seems to think. there were some very
weak apots both in the organlzation
and in the production of the plays
themselves.
. .We young people still seem to rely
on the older folk too much at certaln
times. I know I do. We forgct that
we should be able to put on affaira
Uke this completely on our o\vn rigttt
from the ticket sales to the coffee
maker and dish washcr. In the future
we will have to pay more attention to
the "minor" things that do play a
part in the success orfailurc of an
affalr.
Another thing that overshadowed
the affalr was the evident lack of
rehearsala and reading of parts by the
east. This could be seen in the way
the plays dragged at times. _ It was
particularly noticeable in the first
play "East of Eden" while la the se-cond
play it was not as noticeable on
the stage aa it was by the missing of
cues back stage.
Of course most of the crltlcism for
the weakneä5es should and must be
shouldered by ithose responsible for
organlzing the vlsit. But I think wc

phoMia suddenly get lazy, thare Is.,-
nothing that wlll walce hiin faster '
than having members of his group

But. as was stated earlier, the good- ^
polnts of our visit did out-welgh the
weakne^es.
There was a good crowd, tlie pte-sentatlon
of the plajrs was acceptable • ^
the coffee and sandwlches tasted good
and finally everyone enjoyed the ^w
danclng. And, last but not leäst. 'a '
few dollars proflt waa made. In other
words it was an .«njoyable evening •
that should be repeated In the future.v;;
Now there is nothing left to say ex- .<
