Oh sure, we've eaten but there has been no vacation and no money for new equipment.” “Stewart Ferguson, who went into the shakes business with his father after the Second World War and has been struggling to stay afloat since 1980, was equally unsympathetic about the layoff of hundreds of loggers and shingle worker# in Canada. “They're crying the blues up there and they haven't even been hurt yet,” Ferguson said in an interview from the once-vibrant lumber town of Aloha, Wash. “T've watched the demise of a whole town,” he said. “We lost our post office, the railroad and now all we have left is my mill which employs about 40 people from the area. “Well, I have some advice for the Canadians.

Critics said Argentina would never have won its trophy if the 1978 tournament had not been staged on its home soil — a charge also levelled against West Germany four years earlier. Even the West Germans’ ¥864 victory over an injury-ravaged Hungarian team in Switzerland was dismissed because they had been humiliated 8-3 by the same opponents in a first-phase group match. But while France, Denmark, Brazil and the Soviet Union earned most of the praise in Mexico, it was Argentina and West Germany who emerged as the last two survivors, and sheer pride may be the key tothe ultimate destiny of the trophy.

UTER MEXICO CITY — For nine years Diego Armando By ROBERT WOODWARD RE! sail it ee E COMPARED TO PELE Maradona touted as world's best provisional 25-man squad for the 1978 World Cup finals. But Maradona was one of the three left out of the final Cup-winning squad, a crushing disappointment for the Maradona had been potentially the world’s most gifted soccer player. The Argentine captain has proven beyond doubt his skills compare with the legendary Pele and very few others. Ever since he made his first division debut at 16, he had seemed destined for great things. Three famous clubs — Boca Juniors, Barcelona and i — paid out more than $10 million for his mereurial services. Millions of fans turned out to watch the man with the miraculous left foot. But a mixtuse’ol injury, bad luck and etulance kept him from every giving all for club or country. Until, that is, this week's World Cup yieteries over England and Belgium which took the 1978 ehainpigns into today’s World Cup final against West Germany. “We were beaten by the best player in the world.” Belgian manager Guy Thys said after the semifinal, an opinion shared by everyone who saw the 25-year-old’s performance in a 2-0 win. Diego was born in Lanus, part of metropolitan Buenos Aires, but lived most of his youth in Villa Fiorito, a working class area of the capital where he spent evenings kicking a ball around the streets with his seven brothers and sisters. “I got my first football when I was five years old and I haven't stopped kicking one since,” Maradona says His father, a factory worker, had to work hard to support his large brood and the family remains an important element in the life of Maradona. When he was transferred to Barcelona in 1982, Maradona brought over 40 family members and friends. He dedicated the goals against Belgium to his mother and father A modest man, Diego will talk proudly for hours about brothers Hugo and Lalo who are starting to make soccer names for themselves back home. “Hugo's the only player I'd be glad to give up my No. 10 jersey for,” says the curly-haired Maradona who harbors a burning ambition to return to Boca Juniors and play on the same team as his brothers. Maradona has worn number 10 since he started his professional career with the First Division club Argentinos Juniors. He agreed to join them only after being persuaded he would be wasted as an accountant, his first career choice. The debut of the five-foot-five gannonball caused a sensation. It was only months before he-was selected for the national team, making his debut against Hungary in the spring of 1978 Manager Cesar Luis Menotti included him in the 17-year-old. The young man did but they settled their captain Argentina to victory in the 1979 World Cup youth tournament. His performante there Boca Juniors to pay out more than $1 million for his services. It proved money well spent. Boca won the in 1980-81 with Maradona finishing as the league's top scorer for the second at the 1982 World Cup finals with the European fan’ lamoring to see if all like Italy’s Claudio Gentile — caused him to make an early exit from the finals, sent off for a foul on Brazil's Batista. But Barcelona had seen enough to pay Boca $3 million for Maradona's services. His time with the Spanish club was not a success as illness and the attentions of Spanish defenders meant he played just 76 games, scoring 45 goals, in two seasons. The first season Barcelona won both the Spanish and League Cups but Maradona contributed little after contracting hepatitis. He was showing traces of his best form in the 1983-84 season when a brutal tackle put him out of soccer for several weeks. Maradona recovered but not his morale. He was sent off in a game against Espanol and then became the central figure in a near riot resulting in a lengthy ban from domestic soccer. The departure of Menotti after one season with Barcelona, persuaded Maradona his future did not lie in Spain and it came as no surprise when he then signed with Napoli. What was surprising was the fee — about $7 million, a world record. His time in Napoli, where crowds average a staggering 70,000, and his appointment as Argentina's captain seem to have done the trick. It is a more mature, less selfish Maradona who has been thrilling the crowds in Mexico. He has yet to be booked and his behavior off the field has been beyond reproach. He has taken the suffocating media interest in him with a mixture of amusement and resignation Most fans would agree with Argentine coach Carlos Bilardo's assessment of his captain: “Mardona has proved that he is a super player. He is also a super man, an example to the rest of the team.” France takes third with win over Belgium PUEBLA, MEXICO (AP) — Bernhard Genghini scored from close range 13 minutes into the first overtime period and France took third place in the World Cup with a 4.2 vietory Saturday Genghini hooked a kick into the short side of the net past goalkeeper n-Marie Pfaff after a setup pass by Jean-Mare Ferreri. Early in the second over Amores was awarded a pen alty kick, Which he converted to make it 4-2 France, the European champion, finished the tour nament with a 5-1-1 record. Belgium, which got this far in a World Cup for the first time, was 33-1 With 18 minutes left in regulation and France ahead 2-1, Belgium applied pressure and Nico Claesen tied it from 15 yards out. A crossing pass by Leo van der Elst was tapped by Daniel Veyt dir ectly to Claesen. France nearly took the lead in the game's ninth min ute after a pass from Amores fell in front of Jean-Pierre Papin, who shot wide with the'goal open. Belgium came down the field and Jan Cevu lemans made it 1-0 moments later The Belgian captain took a pass from Stephane Demol in midfield and, with a defender bumping him, kicked the ball past charging goalie Albert Rust Just a minute later, Papin put the ball in, but a hand pass had been called on Phil ippe Vercruysse France tied it off a scamble in front of the Belgian goal at 26 minutes. Bruno Bellone dribbled into the penalty area and sent a pass into a group of players. The ball bounced around before Ferr. eri slammed jt into the net from 15 yards Papin gave the French a 2-1 lead after sloppy de. fensive work by the Belgians in front of Pfaff. Genghini was given too much room just outside the penalty area and his crisp pass found Papin free on the right for a 15-yard shot Pfaff received a yellow ecard warning for a wild tackle on Papin in the 62nd minute. The French did not dress midfield stars Michel Platini and Alain Giresse and used mostly substitutes and play ers who had not seen action in this tournament. Belgium used most of its regular line up
