Team doctor John Finley ‘said Déiners, 42, is suffering from “superficial phlebitis . . . in a very localised area where he had been struck by the puck.” Phlebitis is ‘an ‘inflamma- tion of the veins, usually as- sociated with a blood clot, f Pee Wee-Atom Hockey Fes 4 in Trail, C and Beaver Valley. TEMPE, ARIZ. (AP) — Seattle Mariners owner Geo- rge Argyros said he called free-agent outfielder Tim Raines personally to talk t signing him on because the Mariners haven't been able to get a response from Raines's agent. “This is not the preferable way to do it,” Argyros said, “but Tim Raines's agent would not acknowledge our interest for some reason.” e Mariners have said the agent, Tom Reich, cancelled a lunch meeting with Argyros in early February and re- fused to return phone calls since then until the Mariners threatened to file a gri- evance. That only sparked limited contact. Reich was quoted earlier this week as saying there was .nothing on the table, even though when Raines left Montreal in early January, Seattle made an offer of $1 million for 1987 with a guar- antee of salary arbitration for 1988. “That was merely an initial offer,” Mariners president Chuck Armstrong . said. “Where it could go from there would depend on nego- tiations. “But we can’t get Reich to call, never mind negotiate.” So Argyros called Raines at home in Florida on Friday night.

FREE MEMBERSHIP Draw to be held on April 12 Castlegar & District SERNA AC TV It one spend# too much ‘time with the newspaper headlines instead of pausing to reflect or ldok about, one could be excused in thinking that the cause of peace and international understanding, and in fact the entire human race, is headed for hell in a handbasket. The small, unobtrusive, good things which are happening beneath the clamorous thirst for doom and disaster (the more raucous the better) tend to get obscured by the noisy dust. One of the many of these good, quiet things is the Rotary International Student Exchange program. In this program senior students are sent to other countries, frequently where culture and language are quite different, to spend a year living with several host parents, and to attend school, address groups and take part in social functions. They are not guests, but members of their exchange families, and are sel with a view to both acting as ambassadors of good will for * their own country and as bridgeheads of peace and understanding to the host country. The amount of love and understanding which is engendered by these exchanges has a lot to teach thdse who regard international borders as rigid cell. walls within the tissue of human society. More over, the readiness with which these young people pick up and become at home with ari entirely new language within the space of a year is a direct challenge to those who are so adamant against the learning one or more languages besides one’s own. I have still not forgotten the two sayings of one elderly Doukhobor gentleman whom I met at one of the villages almost 40 years ago; and I use them on whomever I meet: “What a man carries in his head he does not have to carry on his shoulders,” and “You should have two languages for two languages makes you two men!” So true. Castlegar has five of such “doubles” in the form of five outgoing exchange students. These include Ris! McDowell in Tokyo, Donna Wolf in Brazil, Claudia ‘What a man carries in his head he does not have to carry on his shoulders’ Braman in Germany and Rob Trickey and Mac Lamb in Mexico. At the same time four incoming students presently attending Stanley Huniphries secondary school will have had 16 extra “moms” and “dad” before they leave for their homeland. These include Dorita Aceves of Mexico, Vanessa Cue of the Philippines, Elizabeth Peter of South Africa, and Masaru Yanagawa of Tokyo. Masaru has just competed his year's visit here and left on March 20 for Tokyo. His place will be taken by Kinuyo Miyajimu of Tokyo who arrives here on March 26. Next year, Castlegar student Jarrod Isfeld will go to Tokyo where he will be hosted by the Rotary club which sponsored Masaru for his tour here. Practically all of the students — certainly all of the girls — complain (not too convinclingly( that their clothes shrink so severely during their stay here that they have great difficulty in getting into them. Less sympathetic observers suggest that the hospitality rather than the humidity may be the more serious factor. Certainly, there is no lack of tears when the time comes for parting. However, once routines are re-established in the homeland, things return to the statys quo as witness in a recent letter from very popular exchange student Nelly Herrera, from Tabasco, Mexico Aftex six months of the strenuous regimen of her hometown school, she writes that she has lost 20 pounds. (Something to be said for a rigorous education, it would seem and that there are unforseen advantages to it.) In any case, I would like to offer one edited letter from Rishia McDowell writing from Tokyo, Japan which reflects a little of what I have said. some EATING AT FESTIVAL . . . Mom Yanagowo and Rishia McDowellat “Tori no Ichi” — festival tor merchants. They are eating octopus, which they say is “delicious”. January Home. They told me to write home at the orientation for outbound exchange students. I've written to family and friends, but I haven't written home until now. I'm still fine. No major problems. My host Rotary club hasn't yet determined where I'm to live next, so Tm still with the Inos. They've been so sweet to me I really don’t want to move, but they must be getting tired of me by now — it’s been five months. T've statted practicing with the Kendo (Japanese fencing) club, as Masaru urged me to do. I don’t know if I can learn enough in just one year to take over the responsibility of coaching the SHSS Kendo club. The movements are easy. I'm concerned that I may not be able to explain the philosophy of it. Feb. 2 Today it snowed. There’s about an inch on the ground outside — but it'll all be gone this afternoon. It has snowed four times here this winter. Apparently, that's more than usual. Everyone ‘here jokes about Canadian winter following me to Tokyo. I'm keeping a diary here. It’s a big help when writing the obligatory reports to my sponsoring Rotary district. Since the second month I've sent reports written in Japanese to my host club. So far there have been no complaints, so I assume they're readable. T've been keeping in close contact with Kinuyo Miyajima (note Kinuyo will arrive in Castlegar near the end of March for a year's exchange). She’s a wonderful companion. She'll learn English quickly, I think. We speak Japanese now; but she’s promised she will speak English in Canada (unless no one else is supposed to understand). I haven't seen Kimiko Mitobe — a former exchange student in Castlegar all that much. When Louise Devon stopped in Tokyo on her way home to Australia, Kimiko’s parents invited us to spend several days together. We enjoyed a very happy reunion — talking until the wee small morning hours. Kimiko is skinny now, much to Louise's surprise! Kimiko and I will get together again in March, when we have a school break. It takes 1'/2 hours by train to go from where I live to her place, so we don’t see each other as often as we'd like. School is going well.
