"Grandpa, What Was War?"
YRITYS LINES UP THEIR

By Wilharl Böhm
Port Arthnr. — A ueu- year is draw-
Ing near and an old year ii» fading
cut. In the limitless v o i d of time this
is as a grain; o f sand upon a beach,
tut to us. the youth of today. i t may
foreteU our future. To each aud
cverj-one of us 1952 wlll be a year o f
significance. Perhaps we do n o t ali
view it i n the same light but the
course of the-next. haU century may
unfoki in the follo\ning 12 months.
The three things which I deem of
stellar Importance in the coming year
are as foUovs:
Pirstly I place the hopc of mosl of
manJciiid — P E A C E ! I do notsay ail
cf mankind. because, as '»-e know. this
IS not true or If it were we would not
h'ave wars. The tensions on thi§ earth
cf ours have been increasing but as
an optimist I see a ray of light break-ing
through ^the war clouds. It is my
fervent hope that for the ftrst time
withm my Short memory span there
shall be peace throughout the land.
Wouldn't i t be wonderIul If two score
and ten vears" frortx now I were asked
the question: "Grandpa. what was
war?" A dream you say . . . NO . . .
rot if we ali Tvork for the things we
hold closest to our hearts.
; Second on the progi"amme Is the
Ihth Olymplad of the modem era;
Finland, the hcmeland of our fathers

every amateur atlilete the. 01>-mpic
Games represent the dream of a life
time. and an Olympic gold medal is
the most prized possession. ^"Kames
such as Jesse Owens. the great Ame­rican
negro sprinter and jumper;
Janusz Kusoclnski. the PoLsh distance
runner; Juim Zabola, tlie Argentmian
marathoner: Naoto Tajima. triple
jumper (from Japan; Matti Järvinen.
feTcat Javelin thrower f rem Finland
and many othcrs drift down to us
from years gone by and attest to the
great mtemationalisni of the games.
Another example of track and ficld
inteniationalLsm is that the official
publication of the A A U List-s under the
bf st performances of 1950, the namcs
cf athletes from 30 different natlons.
It is a tribute to the great sport of
track and field and the Olymplcs i n
particular that race. colour, creed.
religion. or social status play no part,
in the avvarding of medals. Erom
Lord Burghley down to the humble-st
Vi-Bge eamer thej' have ali competed
purely for the love of the sport. The
fatet that we canuot separale PEACE
from even track and field is quite
apparent. Let us takc Germany as an
example.
Heinrich WoelIke, Olympic shotput
rhamplon of 1936, was killed i n Poland.
Rudolf Harbig, :world's record holder
of the 800 meters run (1.46,6) shared
hls fate tn Russla. Lutz Long. run-ner-
up to Je<jse Owens m the Olympic
troad-Jump, foimd his grave i n Italy;
Leichiun, . top-notch sprinter and
foiurth in the Olympic broad jump,
Iikewlse lost his life; Hedner Trossr
bach, leading German hindler. dled
of a disease contracted through var
Service; Fritz Schaumburg, German
record holder i n the 3,000 meters run,
lost his leg, not to mention hundreds
of well-known athletes who did not
leturn from the battlefield or bomb
shelter.
For this reason %iay the OljTnpic
finme of brothei-hood also be a torch
for PEACE 1
For my thlrd but bv no meaiis least
Important event I choose the 16th
Sports Rally of the Finnish-Canadian
Amateur Sports Federation. More so
to us in Port Arthur, than to anyone
eJse, i t martcs a milestone In our
activitles. Since Isiku was reorganized
m 1946 i t has risen from obsciu-ity to
place fourth i n 1950. third in 1951,
and we hope that at next year'»
Liittojuhlat we'ii fikip that second
place and take flrst. The fact that
the Sports Rally wll be held at the
The " Y r i t y s - A C paper the"Spark"
had a Iming up of tiieir hockey team
and co.-nmentiiig on how tlxey are
shapii^g up as foUovs: C o a l : . l a n BeU-man:
Is a new member to the club.
Although a little weak i n spots should
shapc up to be a very reliable goalle.
Defence: Ty Lemberk: Ty ia com­ing
along f ine this year. , S t iU not
uslng the body enough. 1 suppose i fs
because he's afrald of hurtlng the
opposition.
Len (Lout > Boström: leaving hls
Studies Short to help the club. I n -
valuable as a poke-checker. : Could
also use lils body witli more entiiu-
.siasm. ,
lA-o Tohnio: built like a Sherman
tank. In top shapc. Could con-centrate
on passing and the use of
the.very good shötvhich hepossesses.
Arvi •Lehto: this man a newcomer
from RoujTi Ls 180 Ibs of hard rock
Finlander. Should see him bowling
oppo-sltion over this coming season.
Forwards: Ray (Honey) Laakso: We
look forvard to a lot of goals from
Ray if he keeps hLs elbows and stick
do\vn whilc on the ice. Verj' good
compctltor, an inspiration to the
team. (The home crowd a t t h c last
game seemed to come up with the
nickname "Honey". (Ever Nice).
Ossie Luoma: Much i n the need of
skatlng-practice. Should get about
10 hrs. per day. iHowever. seems
help to the game. Will be more
valuable a s . ^ o n as he finds his legs.
•VVilhart Bohm:;Out of shape. Better
go skating v i t h Luoma!
Rocky Kivimäki: Rocky broke " O ld
Betty' 'hLs favorite stick last game.
However ovith new hickory iwill pro-bably
score more goals than last sea­son.
T y Havimäki: Slow getting started.
Must learn to keep head up. Other-wise
will some day wake up i n hos-pltal.
Leo Lampinen: an import f r om Sar-
•nia. Although a little light and
slight of stature'Should be valuable
on the offensive.
Carly Aho: Oarly stiU a little weak
in legs. « i s soul v i l l i n g but hls
f lesh is veak. Better go skating with
Luoma, Havimalci and iBohm.
Tom Jokinen: After a couple of
years absence is toack .wlth the club
again. Lots of try. Should be rap^
pmg the goals i n after a fe(W more
workouts.
Ray Valkkl: Hus bccn slitfted from
hiä last year's position of goal to
forvard. «rhlch i f anythlng was a
move for the better. Seems to be
fiUing in quite nicely. (Vcr>' good
move on, the part of head coach W.-
W. Bohm. Quotc W. W. Böhm).
Ray Laakso Jr.. Henry Leskinen and
Rlcky Niiranen, our rookies. are ali
tr>'ing very hard and if they don't
make the big team thLs year they'11
be with us next year for sure — but
keep coming to practlces. — don't
give up boys.
There you: havo the facts evasive
though they may seem.
1'in sure you ali agrce vrtth me
that here we have a verj* good team
In the making. Before I go any
further I -vrant to point out the fact
t l i a t every player is a member of
Y r l i y s A.C. in good Standlng.
Everyone realizos that to maintain
their physical fitness and position on
the team they. must attend every
practice and game or el.se have a
damed good "excuse.
'Our Club holds a l i rlghts to players;
We are not affillartcd with an>'1NJHJ4.
Club and the iatter cannot buy up
any of our players tili the prescnt
scasonends. .
With tliis iron clad contract and
the spirit of the team how can ve
lose? — Spark.

, It ls great pleasure to us to regist-er
the fact that this sectioh of ours
brcaths new life and determination.
The modest galns.that can be re-corded
from the past few months,
warrants us to belleve that is^oung
people of sturdy Finnish Canadian
stock will find Tvays and means to
ficif expresslon and that this English
section of ours has a brfeht future.
If anywhere, it is iiere, where we
mast find our correct path through
triäls and even errors. We cannot
Import or buy from öthers ready made
EnglLsh section for our young people.
If we want to succeed, we must take
the hard road on whlch have
taken encoiu-aglng flrst stcp» i n the
last few möntlis. "The English section
of the Vapaus must be like the rest
of the paper, of the people and for
the people namely young Canadian»
of Finnish,descent. In other words,
it is up, to us young people to create
an fyiglish section i n this paper'vhich
wouM encourage us wlth our proud,
cultural, heritage and fecllng of the
ones with thC: rest of the Canadian
working youth. and to glve living
guidance In our evcrydaylife and
struggle for a better Canada,
i n thts we must find our "own"
path apd best possible approach.
While doln« this we must develop our
own edltors and correspondent* and
then -wc have only started, becau«<i
there is a guestion of getting an ever
widehing Circle of regular readers.
Thte 1» a tali ordciJ indeed. But
.since when the young people have
been afraid oi the "big bad woIf"?
and v/C know also that among youth
of Finnish Canadian* is hldden many
and varied talcntö. Modest bnprovc-mcnt
of this section give» us confi-dencc
that our Club New8 section
will outlive its rathcr Umltcd heading
and that It will become a valuable
beacon to our young people.
WIUi thi» i n mind we say, "Greet-
IngB young f o l k s l " Let ua keep up the
good itrork and build up this E i i g l Mi
section of the VapatiB. — Editor.
