The affair was well at- tended and a pleasant dinner was enjoyed by all. The guest list included Paul and Janie Phipps, John and Joan Loo, Heather and Bill Pottle, Rick and Diane Welychko, Marion and Karen Leroy, Maynard and Debbie Fauth, Doug and Lynda Coulson, Fern Allam and George Stein. Although Don Davoren was not able to attend, he will receive a plaque com- memorating his many years swallow,” Whalers defence- man Joel Quenneville said. “We got involved (in rough play) again tonight. We can't give a team as many chances as we did.” PLAN WORKING The Whalers claim the Nordiques plan has been to draw them into scuffles and take them off their game and, planned or not, it is working. “I don't think they can out- skate us and, really I don't think we can intimidate them, Randy Moller said. “They have a fast team and so do we. But to win in the Adams Division, you need more than speed.” Coach Jack Evans has stressed the value of turning the other cheek, but the Whalers have been unable to control themselves. Minor Hockey holds dinner ager several times, treasurer and this past season ‘he was present until he was trans- ferred to Clearbrook. Don will be sorely missed by those who worked with him on the executive. This year's executive member receiving the Mar- vin Leroy plaque for “out- standing contribution to minor hockey” is John Loo.

ENDURANCE J Hughes alone in race HALIFAX (CP) — John Hughes was asleep in his hunk when the mast of his yacht snapped at the deck, jumped sidways and smashed through the glass-fibre deck into his cabin. i What followed is a story of human endurance mixed with a good measure of marine engineering by a solo sailor who took on the vicious seas of Cape Horn in a small, crippled yacht. Hughes, 30, is the lone Canadian in a solo round-the-world yacht race that began last Septentber in Newport, RI, and is on the final leg of its 43,000-kilometre circumference. His. yacht, only 12 metres long, is named the Joseph Young in honor of his grandfather. John Sandford, who returned to Halifax this week from the Falkland Islands where he helped Hughes install a new mast, said the Dartmouth, N.S., sailor was in the middle of the Pacific when the mast broke. Bobbing helplessly with a tangled mass of stainless steel rigging, halyards and a shattered spar on the deck, Hughes spent 12 hours fashioning a makeshift mainmast from two spinnakere poles. ‘The seas were running at nine metres when Hughes: began cutting the mast free, ever mindful of an accident that befell a French sailor in the first round-the-world race in = mn A In that race, Jatques De Roux's mast broke and when he cut it free, it snapped back and punched a hole in his boat's stern and spent the three days bailing water before a rescue boat could get to him. Once the Joseph Young was free of the mast, Hughes began jury-rigging. Placing a spinnaker pole on the port and starboard side, he created ametal triangle lashed together at the top. He then hoisted the makeshift mast using a sern-mounted winch and secured it with a hastily-made forestay and backstay. Hughes then fashioned the remnants of his sail to fit th erig. He bolted a piece of rubber to the deck.to cover the hole punched by the mast, but it didn't prevent seawater from spilling into the cabin every time.a wave hit the boat. ‘The real test for Hughes and the jury rig came as he approached the fabled Cape Horn, a spit of land at the southern tip of South America. As if trapped on a giant roller coaster, the little yacht climbed each wave, fell off the crest and drove down the trough. One wave poured into the cabin as Hughes slept. With no electric bilge pumps on board, he had to bail with manual pumps. “Every wave was like hitting a rock,” said Sandford, who talked to Hughes during the adventure by radio. One wave slammed the boat so hard a tool box was catapulted across the cabin, striking Hughes in the face. a a Mid-Week Wrap-up chairman of very proud of the ™ impressive and professional ¢ of service to the He has been division man- manner that surrounded the 4.5 hampion- © 1986/87 provincial ship.

CLOSED EASTER Strikers hit trains JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Eight railway coaches were set afire and two were stoned in Soweto in the latest attacks on trains of the strike-hit government trans- port company, officials said today. The government’s Bureau for Information said a whit eman, whom it did not iden- tify, was injured Tuesday when one of the coaches was stoned. It said damage to the burned and stoned coaches was “considerable.” The South African Trans- port Services, which oper- ates the trains, has blamed striking black rail workers for the arson attacks that be- gan Monday, disrupting tra vel for tens of thousands of residents of the black town- ship outside Johannesburg. The South African Rail- ways and Harbor Workers Union, which represents about 16,000 workers on strike since March 13, said it is consulting lawyers “on how to react tostatements linking us to clearly illegal acts.” The general manager of the transport service, Bert Grove, said the strike “has developed into civil unrest. “Examples are intimida- tion of black staff . . . stone throwing and the burning of railway coaches. Stronger action will have to be taken to curb and prevent the ac- tivities.” On Monday, fires damaged 26 coaches on 10 trains as Life savings kept in purse OTTAWA (CP) — City police have recovered a small part of the life savings of a woman who had a bag stolen Monday from her by two men outside her house. The bag, taken by two masked men riding bicycles, contained the 37-year savings of the 54-year-old woman, including more than $100,000 in cash, gold, diamond jew- elry and bonds. About $5,300 in cash was found on the street by a passer-by. Police later found the women's purse contain- ing some jewelry, bonds and other items. The woman, who did not want to be identified, said Monday she’s been saving the money since arriving in Canada from Lebanon when she was 17. “Tve kept it with me and I've never bothered putting it in the bank,” she said. “I'm not inteested in (earning bank) interest.” She said she started carrying the jewelry with her after her house was broken into about two years ago. The woman would not con firm reports the money in- cluded $120,000 in $1,000 bills. Ottawa police would only say the bag contained numerous $1,000 bills and the total value of the stolen goods and cash amounted to six figures. commuters returned from Johannesburg to Soweto, home to more than two mill- ion blacks. In other developments: — Police banned a meeting scheduled to be held tonight at Cape Town's city hall by the United Democratic Front, the country's largest anti-apartheid coalition. ‘The regional police com- missioner, Ronnie Van Der Westhuizen, issued the ban Tuesday under provisions of the 1953 Public Safety Act but did not. specify reasons for his action. — Rev. Allan Boesak, who helped found the front, ad- dressed hundreds of white students Tuesday night at the University of Stellen- bosch, the most prestigious college of the Dutch-des- cended Afrikaners who con- trol the government and sus- tain apartheid. “The fact that you are here tonight gives me hope, be- cause it says we can join hands and fight together to build a new future in which peace and justice will pre- vail,” Boesak said.
