They range from a Barrie, Ont., chiropractor to an Ed- monton architect who lost a fortune on the stock market. Sold on the notion that Canadians have . become gamesmakers to the world, they have spent thousands trying to get a slice of a market that toy companies estimate is worth $100 mil- lion a year and risin “It started as a hobby and it turned into an obsession,” says Dale MacGillivray, a chiropractor who spent $50,000 developing and pro- ducing shis game Witt and Wisdom. He has sold most of the 1,000 games he had printed in November. But MacGillivray says the first print run is not a paying proposition. His hope is to get the game launched: well, land a_ li- censing agreement with a major distributor and take a run at the market in 1986. MacGillivray says his game is | designed for creative thinking and people who are tired of trivia games aimed at people he calls “mental hot- dogs.” Players are asked to fill in the missing words in pro- CasNews Printing * Letterheads, & Envelopes Business Cards Brochures Business , Form: Invitations verbs and famous quotes.

CREATE GAMES Other inventors have cre- ated their games as a result of some financial calamity. Quorum 1, for example, is a game-about climbing the cor- porate ladder and was de- vised by Peter Richards, a business student at York University. Richards got the idea after watching a cosmetics busi- ness collapse. “He thought of all the rea- sons why the venture went sour and he came up with more. than 600 reasons,” re- calls Peter Harrison, an old friend who became a partner with Richards in a new ven- ture,. Rich and ‘Harrison Games Inc. “Using the 600-reasons, the two created a game in which employees start at the bot- tom,and work their way up to president. ‘Along the way they need to avoid the pitfalls and earn the brownie points necessary in office politics. Of a first run of 1,000 games, they've sold about 200 through 13 stores in Toronto, Bob Spanski lost a lot of money inthe stock market. But the knowledge he gained has been translated into In- vestor, a game that has been caught the attention of the ~ chairman of. Falconbridge Ltd. Armed with only a pro- totype, he came to Toronto from Edmonton and persua- ded retailers to take $200,000 worth of orders. This inter- ested a big games distri- butor, to whom Spanski has licensed the rights. Sales.are expected to reach KEEPS IT PUBLIC “We don't talk polities in family gatherings, only public affairs,” said Daniel, surrounded by crates and files as he moved into his new office. Their mother, Reine Johnson, has seen both sons sworn in to high office — Pierre Mare as premier in Oct. 3 and Daniel as a‘senior economic minister on Dec. 12. A Liberal party member since 1978, Daniel attended Pierre Marc's swearing-in as Rene Levesque's successor. “I was extremely proud of my kid brother, although my political ambition was to make sure his term was as short as possible,” he says with a smile. Pierre Marc didn’t attend his brother's swearing-in. “Presumbly he’s happy to see his elder brother in there,” Daniel says. Daniel, who lost a bitter campaign for the Liberal leadership against Robert Bourassa in 1983, won't rule out another. stab at the top job eventually. “It's not on the agenda just now,” he said. Johnson doesn't feel it’s unusual that he and his brother Corp. conglomerate. His leadership run only two years later was an embarrassing flop. Johnson placed third behind a little-known country lawyer, Pierre Paradis, and his campaign was seen as ineffectual. Pierre Marc, on the other hand, is more of a political animal — the invisible hand that pushed the PQ to drop Quebec independence | last January and then Levesque himself, who quit-as Barty le leader last June after coming under strong caucus press Pierre Marc now rselyp predicts he'll be back in power within four years. If some people had their way, the Johnson brothers could have been part of a Dream Ticket. A number of small town mayors and dissatisfied Union Nationale officials felt the Johnsons would have been an unbeatable combination that would have attracted voters who disliked Bourassa and nationalists fed up with the PQ. The plan never got off the ground, undercut by the resignation of Levesque and seven hardline separatist ministers late in 1984.

When we are caught up in the spirit of appreciating each other and our many natural and spiritual bless- ings, we find ourselves cheered through the seasonal doldrums of the short, dark days into the turning of tl year, full of hope and resolve, and warm feelings for one another. For most of us, our feeling for the season in the present year is colored by memories of past Christmases and even by our recollection of family traditions and history told to us by our parents. As we kneel in our attics and base- ments to retrieve the tree trimmings from their familiar, well-worn box; as we hang perky green wreaths and bake a kitchen full of spicy-smelling treats; as we take part in worship services and sing the old carols and some new ones, we experience the sounds,’ smells, tastes, sights and feelings of this Christmas in special depth because of all our happy associations from the past. * There are few among us, of course, who would wish to return wholly to “the good old days.” Our age, with all its problems, is a good time to be alive. Yes, it's true, of course, there’s no turning back. It's easy to forget that pensive. Sweetening was honey, maple syrup, molasses. Root vegetables were appreciated when there were no cans or freezers. Time: Well, they had no more time than we have, but we often think of the other ages had grievous problems like _ old-time Christmas as being more leis- disease, ignorance, slavery, repression. What we really want, it seems to us is to select the best of the past to revitalize our here and now cele- brations. What was good about the old day? Simplicity: The simpler life our fore- bearers led required a great deal of hard work, but there was an immedi- acy and-an absence of frittering detail and mad dashing-about, a direct con- nection between work and sustenance, craft and everyday life. Craftsmanship: People made their own gifts, using the best of what they had at hand — native woods, natural dyes, hand-gathered berries and cones, homegrown produce, even home- woven cloth. They took the time to doa good job. ~ MIRRORS urely. Perhaps it was. What we're really after, here, is a sense of proportion: How shall we spend. our time? Which activities are most meaningful, nourishing? These values we wish for needn't be buried in the past. Simplicity, chal- lenge, sensible use of time, hand- production of useful goods, nourishing whole foods, time for each other . .. all of these realistic, down to earth ways of living, are as appropriate now as they have ever been. I hope this helps you recapture the best. of the past in your celebration of Christmas now and that some of the immediacy and simplicity of these ti ‘hi d ways wil part of your everyday life in the good New Year to come. paren bly Ate CHOPPING BLOCKS Weeanene 8 SOE I SOLID HONDURAS MAHOGANY 3 PCE WALL UNIT reg. s:200 Any Printing! 150,000 this year, a U.S. ver- sion is to be launched in 1986, and Spanski now has some prominent fans. ’ “I got a letter from the CASTLEGAR NEWS chairman of Falconbridge, 197 Columbia 365-7266 | William James, saying that the game was fabulous.” ‘vordueya pyom ‘And so it is natural for us to find Wholesome food: Until the late 19th Mrs. Yvonne Caroline Kolman 2228-6th Ave. ourselves wishing, sometimes, that we century, wheat was ground whole, mo- Robson Silk shorts Crossword from Vancouver |:ss..
