But we see Leo as a fellow that possibly before the season is out is in a starting role, but certainly in his second season should be a starting football player. « “But I'm telling you he’s a player and he's going to play an long time in the Canadian Football League.” ‘The Edmonton Eskimos selected Blake Marhshall, a hard-nosed fullback from Western Ontario, second overall and offensive lineman Todd Storme of Utah State third. "The Eskimos had acquired the No. 2 and No. 3 picks from earlier trades with Montreal and Saskatchewan, respectively. Marshall's older brother Greg also played for the Eskimos but his career was cut short by knee injuries. “Down in my heart, it was Edmonton all the way,” said Blake Marshall, when asked where he had hoped to play professionally. “They're a good stablé> organization with real class.” B.C., using a pick acquired earlier from Toronto, took Purdue linebacker offensive lineman Rocco Romano from Concordia while Winnipeg took defensive lineman Andrew McConnell from’ St. Francis Xavier sixth overall.

Brisco said expert testimony at the hearings has “taken the wind out of their (Opposition members’) sails.” In a prepared news release, Brisco states that the NDP’s absehce “proves that they are not interested in learning the facts about this issue. “All they want to do is grandstand in the House during Question Period where they know they'll get lots of media coverage,” he said.

BEING SOCIABLE IS HALF THE BATTLE. The battle is keeping in good health and being happy. The other half of the battle is watching our nutrition, exercise and hygiene. Being sociable demands energy and effort. This recipe comes from observing hundreds of seniors at gatherings. Socializing takes place at home and over the fence; in senior and community «centres; at church and on the bus; on the village sidewalks and in local stores. Socializing involves talking, smiling, greeting, listening and exchanging informatio Most of us relate to our favorite radio and television programs, even to columnists. Our telephones keep us in touch with families, friends and services. Many do a lot of phoning, women much more than men. They have more to talk about! For the past year, there’s been quite a campaign to keep local telephone rates down. Seniors’ groups have petitioned the CRTC and written the federal government. We need telephone rates to be affordable, and the government has promised they will be. To make the telephone book of more use to us, BC Tel has a special page of phone numbers of services for seniors. In Metro Vancouver, it’s page 28. in-store. In other books, it’s around page 18 and 19. The type is large; you can’t mjss it. sant shopping at all Sateway stores. Sabeway cares about Seniors.
