But an informal survey of Canadian companies shows that ‘mhny businesses are . economizing’ in their travel: budgets. * For. example, Roy Ben- nett, president of Ford Motor +, Co, of Canada, Ltd., and his fellow executives have given economy ‘class‘on scheduled flights just as Alan. Smith, president of General Motors of Canada Ltd., often does. . John Bulman, a Winni- peg mahufacturer and ‘paat president of the’ Canadian Manufacturers’ | Association, ‘says his personal travel costs yeached $25,000 this year.

However, Bud Wiley; Air Canada's passenger-re- search and forecasting direc- tor, says “Oddly enough, * first-class travel is increasing faster than normal economy. It never ceases to amaze us.” CONTINUES TO GROW Equally surprising, given the sharp rise in fares and a sluggish economy, is the continued growth of “business travel. Wiley says that business travel is up two to three per cent over fast year.

The Royal Bank of Can- ada, Canadian Imperial Bank of, Commerce, Bank of Mon- treal and Mercantile Bank of Canada announced identical increases in the rate, charged . onJoans in U.S, dollars to top corporate customers in Can- ada. : The move followed a one-point increase earlier in the day in the prime lending rate of major U.S. banks to a record 21 per cent. The U.S. - rates. have risen sharply, chiefly in response to govern- ment efforts to reduce in- flation by cracking down on credit. The Canadian prime rate, which has been rising in response to U.S. pressure, stands at 17 per cent, just halfa percentage point below the record level set last April.

UNITED PHARMACIES ) CASTLEGAR NEWS, December 17, 1980 _ Terry Fox wins Lou Marsh award TORONTO (CP) — Terry Fox, whose Marathon of Hope raised millions of dollars for cancer research, was named today winner of the Lou Marsh Award, which recognizes the outstanding athletic of pain and fatigue in his face as he fought to keep going, On Sept. 2, after almost five months on the road, word came that Fox would have to postpone his run and return to hospital in New W for further 1980. Fox, 22, was the unani- mous choice of a seven-man selection committee headed by advertising executive . Harry (Red) Foster and in- cluding six Toronto sports- writers, The award, first given in 1986, honors the late “ sports editor of The Star. Fox, 22, of Port Coquit- lam, had his right leg ampu- tated above the knee in 1977 because of cancer. Earlier this year hé ran 6,000 kilom- etres from St. John’s, Nfld., to Thunder Bay, Ont., raising Money for cancer research along the way. Admiration for the han- dicapped runner began to grow after more than two. months on the road, parti- cularly the touching hop-step motion and frequently the treatments, The cancer had spread to his lungs. However, the admira- tion of the public didn't” subside and Sept. 19 he was the. C Collins of Thunder Bay, Ont.; skiers Ken Read of Calgary and Steve Pedborski of. Tor- onto; Wayne Gretzky of the NHL Edmonton Oilers; gym- nasts Elfi Schlegel of Toronto and Karen Kelsall of Van- couver; parachutist Kathy Cox of Toronto; jockey Val- erie. Thompson of Toronto; and cyclist Gord Singleton of Niagara Falls, Ont. Also nominated was the Canadian team — of the Order of Canada, Can- ada’s highest civilian award. A national telethon was held to raise money for the Marathon of Hope and, by early December, the. Cana- dian sGancee Society said For the Marsh award, Star‘ readers nominate ath- letes “and “the committee votes on the nominations. Fox far outstripped .any other athlete in the nom- inations.

By BRUCE LOWITT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS If Dallas Cowboys beat Philadelphia 28-3 next Sun- day, they'll win the National Football League’s National Conference Eastern Division title. But if they win only 27-8, the Eagles vil wear the -erownhs + That's what ‘tts coming down to in the final "ipekeud * of the regular season. Tie- © breaking, the NFL's contri- bution to the pro sports mystique, comes into play one week before the playoffs be; -In the American Confer- ence, seven teams — Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders, Cleveland Browns, Houston Oilers and Pitts- burgh Steelers — are in the scramble for the three divi- sion titles and two wild-card berths. : Los Angeles Rams, with its $8-14 victory over Dallas Monday night, settled one “ matter (it clinched an NFC wild-card and eliminated De- troit Lions ‘from contention) and clouded another. By beating the Cowboys, the Rams made not only the out- come of next Sunday's 'Phil- adelphia-D: game pivotal, but the score ‘as well. The Eagles and Cowboys will be battling for. the Eastern Division title. Minnesota has won the Central crown.’ Atlanta ‘has won the West. : ADD TO WOES The Eagles are 12-8, the Cowboys 11-4. If Dallas had . won on Monday night and pulled back into a first-place tie, it would have been a simple matter. of the winner next Sunday getting the title, . the loser settling for the wild Now, though, there's a. magic number, If the Cowboys lose, of course, Philadelphia‘ is the division champ. But, wait! Even if the Cowboys win, Philadelphia can end up the champion if Dallas’ margin of victory is less than 25 points. Here's why. They'd end up tied head to head, over-all and against division, conference and com- mon non-conference foes, . - bringing up the fifth tie breaking step — best ‘net points in the division, The, Eagles have outscored-their NFC East opponents by 92 points, the Cowboys’ have outscored them by 42. So there's a 50-point spread, If Philadelphia loses but only by, say, 21-14, it’s atill ahead of Dallas in that net- point category. If Dallas wins by more than 25 points, it overtakes the Eagles in’ net points and: wins the tie- breaker — and the title. SIXTH OPTION OPEN And if by some quirk of fate the Cowboys’ winning margin is 25 points on the nose, leaving the teams tied in. division | net’ pelnta, up comes the aixth ate] games. Philadelphia now plus 170 to Dallas’ plus 185, would fall to plus 145, Dallas would rise to plus 160, and Dallas’ would be the champ. Simple. That brings us to four possible NFC first-round playoff matchups on Dec. 28, when only the wild-card teams meet while the divi- sion champs take the week- end off. If, Philadelphia beats h Dallas and Atlanta Falcons beats Los Angeles next Sun- day, the Rams, 10-6, play at Dallas, 11-5, the’ Cowboys $a earning home field on their better record. . Tf Philadelphia beats Dallas and Los Angeles beats Atlanta, Dallas, 11-5, visits Los. Angeles, 11-5, the Rams playing at home by virtue of a 38-14 victory over the Cow- ys. If the Cowboys beat the Eagles, whether by fewer than 25 points or more than 25, Los Angeles is the visitor in the wild-card game, trav- elling either to’ Dallas or Philadelphia because it would have the poorer record, re- gardiess of whether or not it beats the Falcons.

Current -and former baseball players such as Reggie Jackson, Whitey Ford and Bill White all sum- marized the life and career of Howard as having been con- ducted with “class.” Howard, who played in 10 World Series, was on nine all-star teams and was the American League's Most Val- uable Player in 1968, died of cardiac arrest Sunday after a long illness. He was 51. At the funeral at River- side Church, the coffin at the foot of the altar was flanked by a wreath of flowers with a against blue and by a portrait of Howard. Ford, who pitched often to Howard in the 1950s and "60s, said of his catcher: “Talk about pride in being a Yankee. Nobody, sremplitied it better.” WINTER SPORTS BEGIN HERE . . .

It was a bump between two flats near the bottom. Laurie started 18th and nobody had fallen until then, but when I saw Cindy Nelson of the United States come through I knew there would be trouble. She flew off the bump and showed the soles of her skis. Cindy never does that. “When Laurie came down she probably would have been all right if she hadn't skied it so well. She ‘wanted to take the gate tighter than everybody else out over the years by bad: ck, could have been killed.” The loss of the 20-year old Graham, seventh ranked in World Cup downhill last year, means more than being one racer short to Chapman. “She's the leader of this team.

In losing 62 to New York Islanders Tuesday night, the hapless Jets set a National Hockey League mark for futility with their 28th straight game without a win. The Jets last won on Oct. 17, 62 over Chicago Black Hawks, and are 0-21-7 since. ‘They broke the pre-. vious record of 27 games set by Kansas City Beouts in 1975-76. “Maybe someday: wecan laugh about it — when some other team goes past it,” said coach Bill Sutherland, who replaced Tommy McVie last week behind the Zets’ bench. “It’s not a good record to have but I'm prowd of them. “They did net give up.
