By VI PLOTNIKOFF When Gloria Laien saw Filbert Devine in the yogurt section of Safeway, she knew she had to meet him. She found out Filbert spent all his time cross-country skiing, s0 she went down to Sowolskis’ Sports Store to get equipped. She didn't know anything about cross-country skiing, or any sport for that matter. Gloria spent all her time disco dancing or watching Genera] Hospital. Douglas, the proprietor of the store looked admiringly at Gloria's blonde hair and blue eyes, and began explaining waxes and bamboo poles versus fibreglass. “Wrap it up,” said Gloria vaguely, focussing her extradorinary eyes on the ski outfits ... the cute knickers and matching jackets. “I'll have that one,” she said, pointing to a lime green number. Filbert couldn't miss her in that. “You'll need something warmer,” said Douglas, “How about these wool knickers instead?” “What? And smell like a sheep when you get wet?” “Well, how about & nice warm hat?” said Dougias, bringing out an orange toque with an enormous pom-pom. “Td look like a pomegranate in that,” scoffed Gloria. “Beside, a hat would wreck my hairdo.” Next day, Gloria talked to a girl in her office, a sturdy brunette named Winnie. Winnie wore sensible clothes and spent all her weekends cross country skiing. “Yes,” said Winnie, “I'll take you up skiing. Bring a hot drink in a thermos, and some high energy snacks.” Sunday morning, Gloria donned her new outfit and packed a small salad. . . a girl had to watch her figure ... and she and Winnie were soon on their way to the Paulsen Trails.

I know you drink only coke and martinis, but this is the outdoors, and hot chocolate works better.” As the warmth spread through her limbs, Gloria noticed a familiar blue figure coming toward them. She Quickly, she took off her didn't frozen thought. “I'd rather die than wear that ugly brown togue,” she Upon their arrival, Winnie shook her head at Gloria's thin outfit and hatless head. But she gave her a brief ski lesson and soon they were gliding through the ever. Although Gloria fumbled a bit and slid around a lot, she managed fairly well, and even began to enjoy herself, much to her surprise. However, the highlight of her morning was in the sudden appearance of Filbert behind them. He was attired in powder blue and reminded Gloria of a bluejay. He winked at Gloria, said “Hello” to Winnie, and flew up the trail.

He threw a 34-yard TD pass to Jimmy Cefalo in the first quarter to give Miami a 7 lead. But he really took over in the third quarter, going eight for nine for: 92 yards and hitting a three- yarder to Bruce Hardy and a 38-yarder to Mark Clayton two minutes apart late in the quarter. Those scores increased Mi. ami's lead from a tense four points to a comfortable 28-10.

(AP) — New York Islanders, struggling through an er. ratic season, called up left winger Ron Handy and de- Dineen from Springfield. Handy, in his second pro- fessional season, scored 15 goals for the Indians this season but has never played in the NHL. Both players were expec- ted to be in the lineup for a game against St. Louis Blues on Saturday night. Islanders general manager Bill Torrey also indicated that two more players will be rought up Sunday in an effort to shake up the team and im- prove its ami’s maligned defence, which had allowed an avera- ge of almost 25 points in the last seven games of its 142 regular season.

Some 40 per cent of young drivers’ accidents are alcohol-related In B.C., the newly handicapped are mostly young and are mostly the victims of drinking accidents. Three times as many people are killed by alcohol related accidents than by any other means. Seven thousand people are dead by alcohol-related accidents in B.C. sinee records have been kept. These are very scary statistics and a group of students at Stanley Humphries has decided to fight them. Two Grade 12 students, Sara Wedrmouth and Ken Romney, approached Mr. Don King, the school's vice principal. The two were concerned because the school had no Counterattck group and under Mr: King’s sponsorship, they formed a group. Groups like this one have had a great effect, helping B.C. to achieve its greatest decrease in traffic fatalities in 1962. The group's aim is to keep SHSS students from drinking and driving and so, to hopefully keep them alive Sara explained the approach the group is taking towards this problem. She is concerned that the posters warning of the dangers of drunk driving are too easily dismissed, and that the phrase “Don’t drink and drive” has become a cliche, and like mos: cliches, may be good advice but “doesn't apply to me.” What the group has planned instead, is a series of short, intense sessions of films and talks for the Grade 12s using extremely high impact material to make them understand — not just intellectually, but in their hearts the fact that drinking and driving IS dangerous, and CAN kill The first session was held Nov. 28 when the grads were assembled and shown the first of five films. The film was quite humorous, and explained the half-truths that fool drinking drivers into thinking they can drive safely when they cannot The second film and talk was held last Wednesday The film was called Mechanized Death, and there was nothing humerous about this film. It showed the real consequences of stupidity on the rosd — not just damaged cars but broken bodies. It showed what a person who has been in an accident really looks like, real blood and real pain. It was not a pleasant film, but it made you realize that you are not invincible Three more films will be shown to the Grade 12s in the next short while. These students are the focus of the school's campaign because they are in a year notorious for drunken grad parties, but the Counterattack group wants to inelude the Grade 11s because there is no single age whieh is responsible for +!) the drunk driving. It is easy to forget in all the festivities that we have the responsibility to drive safely. Remember, if you are killed it will bé over for you, byt someone will have to face Christmas without you.
