Ba es ‘ SS ry Castlégar News _ december 8, 1963 MILITARY CHRISTMAS TOYS Group calls for boycott KITCHENER, ONT. (CP) — Christmas is billed as the season of ‘peace on earth,' the time to mark the birth of the Jesus Christ. But some of the hottest selling Christmas items this year are war toys. The most. popular include GI Joe with his tanks, machine guns, hel- mets and canteens, and Mas- ters of the Universe toys that simulate war in outer space, The irony of the fact hasn't escaped a grassroots group of Roman Catholics across the country who are calling for a boycott of military toys this Christmas. The idea, say officials of the Canadian Catholic Organ- ization for Development and Peace, is to get the concern for the militarization of the world adopted into the per- ‘sonal lives of Catholics. The national campaign is directed not only at the ob- vious military toys — war -planes, guns, rifles and sol- diers — but also at video being conducted in Catholic churches, schools and homes. “Through games, children learn about their future role in society,” the organization says. “Parents have a key role in channelling the ener- gies of their children toward creative rather than destruc- tive activities” “There are games and there are games. We should discourage children from games and toys which en- courage anti-human values of abuse of force and fear. Chil- dren understand if we take the time to explain it to them.” Last year, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bis- hops, who founded the organ- ization about 16 years ago, ‘asked Catholics not to buy violent toys for their children at Christmas. “Toys and games affect how they will develop as per- sons,” the bishops wrote. “If their games lead them to be- lieve that aggression and games that rely on simul. : violence. Armed with a brochure that declares that militari- zation begins in the mind and in the home, the campaign is are they will have all the more difficulty in seeing the im- portance or even the possi- bility of working for peace.” The Catholic organization, Job openings Details of these and other job opportunities are available at: Troll Canada Conti 835 Spokone Street Phones Se0-seec A new Teall firm requires an oxperie rer.

From his home in ‘New ~ Jersey, Trillo told the San Jose Mercury.

In 1982, Trillo established major league records for the most consecutive errorless games by a second baseman in a season, 89, and the most chan- Frank Robinson: “He's an ces accepted by a second play- er, if not the best second baseman around. He's equal- ly adept at goint either right or left and offensively he can handle the bat. “He's an effective hit-and- run player and can move the runner over.” He was named to NL all- star teams in 1977, 1981 and 1982 and the American Lea- gue squad last year while a in a season, 479. “I'm looking forward to playing second base for the Giants,” Trillo said. “They need a second baseman and being able to play every day had a lot-to do with-my final . decision. “Till also be reunited with some of my former team- mates with the Phillies — Mike Krukow, Danny Ozark and Herm Starrette.” Podborski, the 1982 World Cup downhill champion, at-. tributed his excellent train- ing times to-a visit earlier this week to a test track at Taupliz, Austria. “We found out there that the skis:I' used. for. my first run aren't bad in new snow,” Podborski said. ahey are new. “We thought we'd give. them another test . today. ‘They're obviously going well.” A 80-centimetre snowfall overnight slowed skiers con- siderably. “These are the kind of conditions which always lend themselves to ‘ someone's leaping from theback,” Pod- borski said. “Almost inevita- bly first seed guys will still end up winning the race, but * the later guys can fill the top ten. “I just hope the conditions stabilize or the snow stops so that we can paves a good race.” Podborski was not the only Canadian riding a fast ski Saturday. Paul. Boivin of Montreal, was'seventh in 2:01.32, Chris “Kent of Calgary was 38th in 2:02.36.

On the first run, Athans had been 26th. .The only Canadian racer to not record at least one first seed training result Saturday was Todd Brooker of Paris, Ont. He was 45th and 28rd, with slow times on the upper flats. In training on Friday Brooker had been 29th. “I'm disgusted,” Brooker said. “I just got in my tuck and I tucked the whole way.’ “I didn’t even go off: the ground at the camel bumps. There is not much I can do. I skied the way I was supposed to and I went slow. You can get depressed when you're four seconds behind. That's not normal.” ‘UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) — .Bryan Trottier continued his sharpshooting with two goals and goaltender Billy Smith turned in his third straight strong effort as New York Islanders ripped‘New York Rangers 1-1 in a National Hockey League game Saturday night. Trottier, who now has scored one goal in at least six straight games and has nine goals in that span, ignited a three-goal outburst in less than 21/1 minutes in the final Period to break open a close game. With the Islanders clinging to a 2-1 lead and the Rangers threatening, Trottier won a faceoff to the left of Rangers goalie Glen Hanlon. Several players took swipes at the puck before Trottier put home'a backhander at 10:85. At 12:09, Trottier cleared the puck from the Islanders’ zone to spring Mike Bossy, who beat Hanlon with a 20-foot shot. Just 52 seconds later, John Tonelli knocked in his own rebound to make it 5-1. CANADIENS 6 BLUES 3 > MONTREAL (CP) — Steve Shutt scored twice and assisted on two goals to move into a tie for seventh place on the Montreal Canadiens’ all-time scoring list and lead his team to a 6-8 triumph over St. Louis Blues. The veteran left winger, who tied Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion with 759 career points, missed a third goal when St. Louis goaltender Mike Liut stopped him on a second-eriod penalty shot. Shutt’s next goal will be his 400th, making him only the fifth Canadien to reach that milestone. He scored Montreal's first goal and then drew assists on goals by John Chabot and Ryan Walter — their fifth and seventh respectively — that left the Canadiens ahead 3-I after the first period.

Leaf defenceman Gaston Gingras went down to try and block the shot and succeeded only in screening Palmateer. The short-handed effort represented the ultimate failure of the Leaf power play, which was rated No. 1 in the NHL before the game but was unable to score on six extra-man opportunities. OILERS 8 NORDIQUES 1 EDMONTON (CP) — Wayne Gretzky picked up a goal and five assists to reach two more milestones, extend his record points streak and pace Edmonton Oilers to an 8-1 victory over Quebec. Gretzky pushed his consecutive games point record to 33 games with a first-period assist.

By the time Gretzky had achieved those milestones the Oilers had a comfortable 5-1 lead early in the second riod. Then they got some superb goaltending from Andy Moog and some unusually strong defensive play to run their home record this season to 12-1-2. SABRES 4 WHALERS 1 HARTFORD, Conn.

(CP) — Primoz Ulaga of Yuglo- slavio put in the best jump of the day on his final attempt to win the 70-metre event at the World Cup ski jump com- petition on Saturday. Ulaga, who stood fourth after the first attempt, sailed 91 metres to win the second 70-metre competition of the season over defending over- all champion Matti Nykanen of Finland. That jump, combined with a first attempt of 85.6 mettes, gave him 280.7 points. Horst Bulau of Ottawa moved. up from 10th spot after the first round with a jump of 86.6 metres to tie for third place with Jeff Hast- ings of the United States. Nykanen jumped 88,6 met- tres in the opening round, but slipped to 82 on his second attempt. Hastings, second to Nykanen after the first round with a jump of 86.5 metres, also had trouble on his second jump, an 81.5-metre effort. Ulaga had seemingly’ no difficulty at all in winning his third world cup event. “I was in good physical condition, but I was lucky Swimming star facing charges KITCHENER, ONT. (CP) — Canadian swimming star Victor Davis, charged with aggravated assault after an incident at a party, will ap- pear in court March 16 on the charge. The case was adjourned in provincial court on Friday. The charge was laid in connection with an incident last month at Davis's apart- ment in adjacent Waterloo. Police said Gregory Morri- son, 20, was cut in the stom- ach with a steak knife and hit over the head with a beer bottle after an argument about the use of kitchen cutlery. Davis, 19, world record holder in the men's 200- metre breaststroke, drew in- ternational attention after he threw a chair-kicking tan- trum in front of an audience that included Queen Eliza- beth at the 1982 Common- wealth Games in Brisbane, Australia. The tantrum came after the men's 4x100-metre med- ley relay, of which Davis was a member, was disqualified for an early start after fin- ishing well ahead of second- place Australia. When told of the disqual- ification by a pool official, David flew into a rage, kick- ing over a chair and storming out of the area. Towels, plants and a trash bin went flying amid a string of ob- scenities. Davis, a student, holds a number of Canadian swim- ming records and has won several medals for Canada at international events. Se NT also,” said Ulaga, 21. “I am one of 15 jumpers who could win any competition.” Ulaga was 66th in the season-opening 70-metre ev- ent won by Bulau last Satur- day at Thunder Bay, Ont.,. but moved up to fourth in the 90-metre jump. “I was tired,” Ulaga said. “Our plane arrived the day before the competition.” Bulau said he was unable to overcome a bad feeling he’s had about the. Lake Placid 70-metre hill since he first competed here in 1979. “During training I tried to put in my mind that I like this jump, that maybe that would help,” he said. “It didn't help.” Bulau. was satisfied to move up to third after a poor first jump, but was unim- pressed with his jumps over- al “Things just didn't click today, everything was very static. “I was probably trying to jump with too much power at the very end of the takeoff.” Hastings was mildly dis- appointed in his second jump. “I didn’t feel like I had air under me,” he said. “I felt happy after the first jumpe and tried to do better on the second, but if just didn’t come together. “But I'm happy overall, not just because of my good finish, but because I feel my skiing is getting better and better,” Hastings said. Dave Brown of Thunder Bay “was the second best Canadian, finishing 22nd with jumps of 76 and 79 metres for 186.3 points. Ron Richards of Oshawa, Ont., was 88rd with 178.5 points, while Steve Collins, also of Thunder Bay, was 49th with 160.7 points.
