meet Garena By KEN SMITH OAKVILLE, ONT. (CP) — If it isn't one darned thing, it's another. A few years ago Ken Harrigan w: worrying whether he'd sell enough cars — now the president of Ford Canada Ltd. wonders whether he'll have enough cars to sell. The switch is a reflection of how the market for North American-built cars and trucks has swung around after being gored by overseas competition, fears of sky- rocketing energy prices and crushing recession. Faced with that triple whammy, sales of vehicles built in Canada and inited States stopped as fast as a car driven into a cement abutment. Now, given a kiss of life by quatas limiting foreign imports, stabilized energy prices and a recovering economy led to a large degree in Canada by the auto industry, car and truck sales are surging. Harrigan points up his current worry this way: “Usually at this time of year sales slack off and we used the time to build inventories to meet the resumption of demand in late spring and early summer. “But this year there's been no slackening. We're pushing to meet current demand.” BETTER THAN 81 It is, he concedes, a happier position to be in than the one he faced three years ago when he became Ford Canada’s president. ‘The bad times were more worrying, he says, but let's face it: You can never be satisfied with how things are = going. If they're going badly, you have to improve them. If they're going well, you want to make them better.” Harrigan, a soft-spoken, low-key boss, says he has always worked long hours. He usually puts in 10 hours a day, starting at 8 a.m. — “but I like to keep my weekends private.” He starts his day with a session of sit-ups, followed by a run of a couple of kilometres and a swim. That's before breakfast. Now 56, Harrigan was born in Chatham, Ont. He's the sixth consecutiv® Canadian-born head of Ford Canada. He joined the corporation in 1951 after graduating from the school of business administration at University of Western Ontario in London, Ont.

POSTED OVERSEAS Four years later the Harrigans — he and his wife have a son and a daughter — were shifted to Australia where he was named sales director for Ford's Asian operations. A year later they were in England and he was director for southern Europe. In 1978 they returned to Canada. “I loved the travel,” he says. “I still do.” He moves across Canada regularly, talking to dealers and suppliers, and last year he was in Europe three times on business. “I enjoy flying. I can relax — not like my wife. When she travels with me, she’s a real white-knuckler.” What of the future of North America’s auto industry? Harrigan was part of a federal task force which’ looked into that question last year and decided that imports, especially fro Japan, should have a lot me | Canadian content in their cars. He says he's disappointed that no action has boon taken on the force’s report, but he notes that Ottawa is= negotiating with Japan and other countries to get some results. “Negotiations are always better than trying to legislate these matters. Anyway, you can’t build a wall around North America — we have to be able to compete domestically and internationally.” When he’s not in the office, Harrigan likes to read, play tennis and work in his garden. “I used to play golf, but I gave it up when I was travelling so much. I couldn't come home Friday night after being away all week and tell my wife I was taking off Saturday morning for a few hours of golf. It wasn’t fair to her, the kids, or me.” = | Ford offices in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary; E and Vancouver, he was named general sales manager in ‘After posting two days. of increases, the market turned down Wednesday, rose Thursday and then back tracked Friday.

For the week, the index climbed 12.56 points, or 0.54 per cent, but this made only a small dent in the previous week's loss of 66.17 points. However, analysts ex- pressed confidence that this was the start of another rally as they believe interest rates are unlikely to rise much fur- ther and may even fall a lit- tle. News of declining U.S. re- tail sales in March and a larger than expected fall in that country’s money supply - also helped build confidence that the economy is not over- heating. for the qrad 15% DISCOUNT ON SUITS, SHIRTS, TIES, BELTS & SOCKS We have a wide selection of styles. colors & sizes NOTE: Regular Prices on Suits Requiring Major Alterations.

Not Quebec Nordiqties. “Montreal has a much better team than their regular-season record indicated,” said Quebec coach Michel Bergeron. “Not very many teams can put four top quality forward lines on the ice.” They had them humming in Quebec on Friday night and rookie goaltender Steve Penney was superb — as the Canadiens defeated the Nordiques 4-1 to send their best-of-seven Adams Division final into Montreal tonight tied 1-1. The three other division finals are tied 1-1, too, going into tonight's play. The other three Friday night games went into overtime. In the Patrick Division, Washington Capitals head home following New York Islanders’ 5-4 victory, Edmonton Oilers visit Calgary in the Smythe Division series following the Flames’ 65 triumph, and St. Louis Blues are home against Minnesota in Norris Division action following their 4-3 victory against the North Stars. MISS GOULET Bergeron said he's beginning to worry about Michel Goulet's performance in the Montreal series. “We need more preduction from Goulet,” he said. “He's the best left winger in the NHL, but they've been checking him extremely close.” Goulet, a 56-goal scorer during the season, has just one goal and three assists in five playoff games — one assist in the two games against Montreal. Nordiques defenceman Pat Price said he isn't surprised at Montreal's tenacity. “We're realistic,” he said. “Nobody on this team tonight The Isles, aiming at a fifth straight Stanley Cup, are fortunate they're not down two games going to Washin- gton’s Capital Centre. Washington coach Bryan Murray thinks the Caps could have been in a better position. “I certainly would have liked it a lot better to have pyt them away,” he said, reflecting on the overtime that ended with Anders Kallur scoring for the Islanders. “It means nothing if we don’t beat them at home.” “Our goal when the series began was to win one on Long Island because we had to to have a chance to win the series,” said Mike Gartner of Washington. “But after we won the first one, we wanted the second badly.” OVERTIME BLUES It’s become second nature for the Blues to play more than the usual 60 minutes before winning. Friday's vietory marked their third overtime triumph in four playoff games. “That's the Overtime Express,” said Tim Bothwell, who assisted rookie Doug Gilmour on St. Louis’ winning goal. That's three goals for that line in overtime.” “I don't like overtime,” Gilmour said. “We've just been getting the breaks.” The Flames have been getting plenty of pizazz from their rookies, who led a rally from a 4-1 deficit to their upset of the Oilers. “We had about eight or nine rookies in the lineup tonight, some of them playing their first game in the Stanley Cup,” coach Bob Johnson said. “I knew they would give us enthusiasm . . . and we needed enthusiasm in our lineup.” One of the youngsters was Carey Wilson, who scored Calgary's game-winner. “When we were done 4-1, I never felt like we were down,” he said. “I felt it was a fairly even game. “I had this feeling deep down that if we kept plugging away he'd get the goals back.” JUMP FOR HEART . . .

Canada led 1-0 at halftime on Sweeney’s first goal at 17 minutes but deserved to be further ahead. Gray's bullet drive from 20 yards made it 2-0 after 75 minutes and Sweeney's second goal six minutes later climaxed Can- ada’s win in the rugged con test. The result in the three- team final qualifying round of the North, Central America and Caribbeen zone had the effect of giving Costa Rica, the third member of the group, one of the two berths from the zone in the Olympic Games. Canada needs one more point from two remaining games to clinch the second berth, with the first against Costa Rica here Wednesday. Costa Rica has four points, with just one game remaining ‘while Canadahas three points with two games to play, in cluding a return match April 25 against Cuba in Havana. Cuba has one point from a scoreless tie with Costa Rica in Havana on March 16a 1-0 loss to Costa Rica’on March 2 and Saturday's defeat before 4,800 fans at Royal Athletic Park. NO REAL TROUBLE Apart from a bleak spell for 20 minutes at the start of the second half, Canada never appeared in trouble against the disorganized Cubans. The visitors counted only one dangerous shot on goal, a 26-yard drive from midfielder Francisco Lopez at 59 min utes. Goalkeper Tino Lettieri of Minnesota Strikers of the North American Soccer League chalked up his second straight shutout of the final qualifying round. He rejoined the squad earlier this month after a personal dispute with team officials. Sweeney's first goal was started by-long through ball from centre-back Ian Bridge of the NASL's Vancouver Whitecaps. He drove the pass down the middle where for ward Branko Segota deflec. ted it ahead. Sweeney, moving up from the left midfield spot, beat Cuba goalkeeper Eugenio Ruiz in a race to the ball and poked it over the goalie's shoulder into the net. Gray's goal was again helped by the work of Seg ota, who made an astute pass from-the right wing:. Gray. then slammed a hard ground shot in heavy traffic past the diving Ruiz, from 18 yards. Sweeney's clincher was the result of an errant pass by defender Amando Lorenzo. The Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder moved to quickly to intercept and fired a hard left-foot shot into the corner of the net, giving Ruiz no chance.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Politics has long been part of the Olympics, from Hitler's Berlin to the Moscow boycott, and critics say the 1984 Summer Games that open here in 15 weeks could be the most political yet. Olympic organizers found themselves in the middle again last week. The Soviet Union said the United States is trying to circumvent the Olympic Charter by controlling who enters the country as a member of the Soviet delegation, and that an anti-Soviet mentality is being fostered in southern California. It’s not always a verbal crossfire between the super powers. Last month, the Los Angeles Olympic Organ- izing Committee was locked in a dispute with the Greeks over the torch relay and plans to use that traditional trek as a fund-raiser for the first time. Come July, critics paint a worst-case scenerio of unprecedented traffic jams, terrorist activity and a crippling Soviet bloc boycott. But the biggest challenge to the future of the Oympic movement is financial, not political, says LAOOC chief Peter Ueberroth, who predicts a bleak future if the “spartan” Summer Games he is dirécting end in red ink. gf ANEW ERA For the first time in history, the Games will be funded by money generated by the private sector — more than $500 million. After decades of being a losing proposition, the Games are in position to turn a profit because of a no-frills approach, says Ueberroth. Bat he has‘no illusions about the endangered state of the Gathes, financially and politically. Out-of-control spending worries him more than political intrusion. “There's always been politics in the Games since 1896" Ueberroth said. “And I think there alwyas will be. “But I think the long-term danger is that they get too big, too cumbersome, too expensive.” Traditionally, host cities had to guarantee any deficits from Olympic operations, but Los Angeles voters rejected any tax liability. Montreal taxpayers were strapped with a deficit of more than $1 billion after the 1976 Games. The Soviet Union spent a reported $9 billion to show off its socialist system. The 1980 Winter Games in Lake Placid, N.Y., left the tiny community and the State of New York with a deficit of between $6 million $8 million. Hi THE LINE Despite those grim statistics, the LAOOC remains confident it can hold vosts under $500 million, five per cent of Moscow's price tag. By comparison, the 1982 Los Angeles Games were staged for $1 million, at no cost to the taxpayers. Many of the events for the 1984 Summer Games will be held at the same competition sites as 52 years ago — the main reason why the LAQOC is able to hold down costs. Only two new facilities were built for the. 1964 Games — a $4-million swimming pool at the University of Southern California and a. $3-million Velodrome, both built through the LAQOC’s corporate sponsorship program. By taking a bare-bones approach and tapping new funding sources, “we have reshaped (the financial approach) and hopefully that will be a positive thing in the future,” Ueberroth said. “If the Games do not do well in Los Angeles, I would think the Games have a dubious future. But I expect them to do well.” EXPECT SURPLUS In fact, the LAOOC is boldly predicting a surplus of $15 million, a windfall that would go to American youth ports program and Olympic movement groups. Clearly, if achieved, it would be one of the most spectacular successes in Olympic history. But, history is not on the LAOOC's side. Montreal's projected budget of $200: million mush roomed to $1.5 billion. While cost remains the biggest obstacle for the future of the Games, politics indeed could have much to do with whether the Olympics clear the financial hurdle. For instance, the LAOCC stands to lose about $60 million in television and sponsorship revenue if the Soviets pull out of the Games. ABC, in negotiating its $225 million contract with the LAOOC, gained a provision that guarantees a partial refund in the event of a Soviet bloc boycott. THREATENING WORDS The spectre of that possibility surfgced again last week when the Soviets launched their most harshly worded attacks to date against the United States over Olympic issues. Bad blood still exists between the two superpowers over the 1980 U.S.-led boycott of the Moscow Games. Athletes from more than 60 countries, including Canada, stayed home, most of them to protest the Soviet invasion , of Afghanistan. ‘Adding to their previous complaints about profiteer L.A. Olympics could be most political ing, crime and smog concerns, the Soviets charged the Reagan inistration with anti-Soviet campaign and violating the Olympic year Soviet sports officials contend the United States is requiring Soviet athletes to apply for visas in violation of the Olympic Charter, which states official ‘delegations only have to show their Olympic cards to enter the host country. Responding to the Soviet charges, State Department spokesman John Hughes said all accredited Soviet athletes will be allowed “unhindered entry.” But he added the United States will take “whatever steps are necessary to safeguard the security of all” Olympic par- ticipants. VISA DENIED Last month, the State Department denied a visa for Oleg Yermishkin, the official the Soviets asan Olympic attache. His rejection was based on information that Yermishkin was a high-ranking KGB officer. Ueberroth indieated last week that he might visit the Soviet Union in an effort to resolve the disputes. National Olympic Committees have until June 2 to commit their delegations to the Games. The shadow of politics is not a new Olympic phen- omenon. In 1976 at Montreal, 27 African countries walked out to protest New Zealand's resumption of sports ties with the apartheid regime in South Africa. Hitler attempted to use the Games as a showcase for his theories of Aryan superiority. bas
