Jacob deserilx'd the $1,581 97 bill for himself and four councillors at a Que bec City convention as covering hotel room, lobbying and public relations work that every city must do in the name of progress.books "And as for spending,” ho said, "how about the $40.000 a year 1 saved in not replacing the town manager?" Moyen replies that Bromont cm ploys an industrial commissioner and Jacob had no need to travel for these purposes BILL UNPAID Though Jacob credits his efforts for the new condominium development Versants Ensoleille.Moyen says the de veiopment is unable to pay its bills and had its hydro-electric power cut Nov ember 21 And a promised government subsidy of $166,000 has not yet come through

KELLOCK-HEWARD Worried parents can comfort themselves with a statistic: Though 30,000 people die in traffic accidents across the province each year, not one child was injured aboard a bus in 1978 or 1979 despite 21 fatal accidents involving school buses It makes school buses eight times safer than the family car.But it also means the area surrounding a bus is extremely dangerous.Parents can take action if they are worried.At Bedford Regional School Board.Richard Stapes will talk to them; at ETRSB, Sarge Bampton, pioneer in school bus safety, will answer his own phone.Few problems are experienced with éther board’s regular drivers but where leased buses and drivers strange to the children take over, occasional problems result.Accidents have happened The ETRSB has had one in six years of busing 5,000 children a total of 12,000 kilometres per day.Regular drivers of the ETRSB take a three-week 120-hour driver's course plus a whirl with St, John's Ambulance First Aid.The buses are equipped with first aid equipment, axes, flares, fire extinguishers and two extra safety windows.The extras are part of a whole set required by the ETRSB over and above the specs outlined in the Ministry of Transport regulation no.2 of 1975.features such as double shocking, seats bolted through the floor, an eight-light system, radial tires and higher amperage alternators.Another advantage given to Townships kids is a bus driver who comes pretty close to sainthood.Take Bob Jones First of all.he rises well before the sun, he knows every bump along the route, he knows the children and the children’s parents, who were his Hi K '->C ¦yS.m lx aJ -w a' passengers years before Or take Eric Evans.One summer morning a busload of kids landed in on their way to an overnight trip to the city, a first for many.Their driver had not arrived Evans did a quick round of farm chores and was ready to take them himself when the other fellow turned up One winter morning he got up an icy hill to collect some passengers when the bus balked at the next.The children had a wonderful day playing around his farm until going-home time Behind the school bus run is a lot of planning and some hefty legislation, such as the Transportation Act of July 23.1973 which awards the responsibility for school transport to the school boards under the Ministry of Transport Under this act, a regional school board may provide transportation under section Five of the Transportation Act of 1972 Notice the “may".It doesn't have to.Then there's regulation 11 which comes out just about once a year covering specification, ownership, maintenance, operation and what to pay to contractors.Both Bedford and ETRSB use some contractors; 13 of ETRSB's 90 buses are leased.While the drivers do not take the same safety course as board-engaged ones they do have a handbook.ETRSB’s transportation director, Ballast foes query probe SUTTON « r 30 lid g 1 3(1 ?10 BKIj 1 30 9 30 9 30 Sunday CAPITOL THeatr® 59Kng

Editorial The Voice of the Eaetern Townships since 1897 Quebec drivers ARE aggressive, latest stats show QUEBEC (CP) — About two years ago, there was a controversy over whether stop signs in Quebec would read Stop, Arret, or both, “What does it matter?” one frustrated pedestrian griped “The drivers don’t stop anyway.” Quebec drivers' reputation for aggressiveness is more than just myth, as recently-released transport department statistics show.Although Quebec did not have the highest fatality rate in Canada last year, more people were killed in traffic accidents here in 1979 than in any other province in Canada There were 205,209 motor vehicle accidents in Quebec last year and nearly 1,800 fatalities.Another 8,221 people were injured severely enough to require hospital care.Ontario, with two million more people, had about 230 fewer fatalities.Why do Quebecers drive the way they do?No research on the psychology of the Quebec driver has yet been done, said Jacques Bergeron, a member of the University of Montreal’s psychology department which hopes to tackle the matter soon The transport department has its own opinions, as Transport Minister Denis de Belleval explained in an interview.PEOPLE NOT AWAKE “One of the major problems is people’s attitude towards the car,” the minister said.“In general, people aren’t aware of the fact that the car is a dangerous weapon ’’ Accidents are things that “happen to others and because of others.” Still de Belleval said, “there are a lot of myths about the Quebec driver.” “People say it’s our Latin temperament I think that basically, there are special circumstances in Quebec that you have to take into account.” Quebecers took to the automobile later than other North Americans, the minister said The development of suburbs and the creation of a highway system came later too.“Which means that we had less progress in driver education, and the administrative systems, which were running behind, couldn’t handle the mass utilization of the automobile.” In an attempt to change the attitudes of Quebecers towards driving and highway safety, a new Highway Code is to be tabled in the national assembly.De Belleval said the new code will give pedestrians legal precedence over vehicles — something that exists elsewhere in Canada — and promote a greater awareness of the dangers of driving One of the things the government is considering is forcing drivers with too many demerit points to take remedial driving courses.And fines will be increased, he said, especially for the infractions most likely to lead to accidents.POLICE LENIENT?Finally, de Belleval said, police will step up their surveillance to counter the common belief that Quebec police are more lenient with drivers.Have police really been lenient9 De Belleval, while on the one hand saying this was another myth, pointed with pride to the fact that the number of speeding infractions handed out last year was up by 45 per cent over 1978 as a result of a police crackdown “And in 1980, there will be a similar increase.” Whatever the case, de Belleval said one reason for Quebecers’ bad driving habits is that they don’t believe that the police are around to catch them “What counts in highway safety is not what really exists, but what people think,” he said.“If people think there is a lot of police surveillance, they will slow down.Quebecers got used to thinking there wasn't any police surveillance, even when there was.” De Belleval said that as an experiment, the government had taken to warning people — over the radio — that police surveillance would be stepped up on certain highways on certain weekends.“Well, the number of infractions doesn't decrease — to the contrary, we find that since we put more police on the road, we get more infractions because it’s not anchored in the minds of Quebecers that our level of security is adequate.“We're making important efforts to change people's perceptions, but it will take time before this fact is perceived.Quebecers don’t believe it yet.” Something stinks There’s absolutely no doubt something stinks in Bromont and now that the Quebec Police Force and the Municipal Commission are both on the trail, we’ll be seeing just what.It’s the same old problem and there’s only one solution.As long as municipal councils have been in existence, they’ve been open to the temptations of office.Relatively few controls exist; few ratepayers have the gumption or the gall to tackle their elected officials even when they're sure there are irregularities afoot.Not every town has an annual budget big enough to permit the abuses Bromont Mayor Pierre Jacob is being accused of.but all now come under Bill 105, the Quebec legislation controlling salaries, council ethics and procedures.Unfortunately, there is no way to logis late honesty.In this regard, the only real curb on a runaway council is the vigilance of the community and the knowledge that they can be voted out of office.Neither the mayor nor his council can be judged except by a court of law, which makes it all the more imperative that the investigators reach their conclusions as fast as possible.As we all know, memories are short and promises cheap.Meanwhile, the rumor mill is working overtime and the public’s confidence in Bromont, shaken with revelations of shenanigans of Olympic proportions and only now being re stored, is being eroded.We’d like to see a fast resolution in this latest episode of the Bromont soap opera.J AMES DUFF Letters Life — and usefulness — continue after 65 Editor: H Gordon Green's article in The Record on November 5 brings out still more interesting facts about retirement.The treatment given to certain employees as he outlined, adds another page to the already voluminous commentaries which have been written on this subject, and which bring into question the advisability of enforcing retirement at age (>5, where there is provision for this, affecting competent and productive employees.The attention of an important cross-section of Canadian society including two levels of government, is being focussed on this practice which is not gaining favor in many circles, as was Ihe case in the USA prior to 1979 Given the dropout of employees between age 60 and 85 because of voluntary or disability retirement, the job opportunities that would be withheld from younger employees represent a relatively small number, and cannot be a factor in the defense of the present system Most employees who have retained their motivation to work beyond age 65, are unquestionably skilled and productive workers, who have a creditable record.Regardless of their vocation, the sudden transition from a challenging useful and satisfying professional life, to the status of a non-achiever, through retirement, in less than 24 hours, is a severe application of an outdated concept, which is beneficial to no one, and causes a tremendous impact.Naturally the deleterious effect for the individuals affected is unavoidably great, and cannot be overestimated.This is however another chapter.Furtunately there is beginning to be some movement towards amending the legislation on retirement age policies, which is long overdue, as mandatory retirement at age 65 is not realistic in 1980.Recent statistics on life expectancy, which has been extended for an additional eight to ten months in the last decade, further reinforce this contention G.F.SMITH, Sherbrooke r ^pcanapàs imoimn cue wm oil, A cbabby MATOUAH, vyrm wag IN HR tmr, BUT NO Hostages Y£t; right?['hanks from ETRSB Same old game Western separatism, like Quebec separatism, is an obvious good idea to its supporters, in reaction to Ottawa and Prime Minister Trudeau — and a two-edged sword.Unlike Rene Levesque, Peter Lougheed has no opposition worthy of the name and everything to lose by coming out strongly for or against Canada’s latest separation movement.Reports on the Alberta premier’s stickhandling of the question in the legislature last week would seem to indicate he fears losing a very effective weapon in the federal-provincial war which would culminate in a referendum like ours.The impression we got from last Thursday’s rally of 2,500 western separatists was that Premier Lougheed was the big gun in the separatist camp.The premier has said he stands for Confederation, but that he understands the frustration of those who are holding meetings across the province.Flirting with the risk of being declared paranoid, we’d say the universe is unfolding as Mr.Trudeau thinks it should.What happened in Quebec?Mr.Trudeau’s Liberals forced the issue of separatism to a vote and the federal forces won, since nobody in Quebec wanted separation as much as they wanted a new deal — exactly what Alberta wants.If Mr.Lougheed embraces western separation, he’s lost the fight before it begins.To extrapolate from Mr.Levesque’s continuing experience, he may even lose his political shirt.JAMESDUFF Editor : The public relations committee of the Eastern Townships Regional School Board gratefully acknowledges the coverage of school board activities and Try new

Project to prepare a "Record of Colours" of Canadian military units, past and present.The attached page gives a brief outline of this Project.From 1867 to 1903, there was a Militia Infantry Regiment called the “54th Richmond Regiment".Its headquarters were Richmond, and there were companies located at various places throughout the county.It was converted to cavalry to become the nth Hussars in 1903.I am wondering if perhaps anyone would know where the colours (flags) of this regiment were deposited after the unit was converted to be “Hussars” iHussars do not carry colours) No doubt they were laid up in a church, museum, court house or other public building.If you could give me any leads on the possible location of these colours, I would be most grateful.The following information is sought for each Canadian Forces Unit, past and present:- name of unit, date of presentation of colours, type of colours, eg.Regimental, King's or Queen’s, Guidon, Standard, Battle Flag, Others, if colours have been laid up, if still in use, a notation to that effect, and if destroyed or stolen, a notation with date.J.H.HARPER.Islington, Ontario Kingston paper blasts commission’s tactics OTTAWA (CP) — The three royal commissioners investigating newspapers have found many unsatisfied readers — and at least one newspaper with bitter complaints about the commission itself As the commission prepares to hold its first public hearings into closings of newspapers in Winnipeg and Ottawa, it has been attacked by a Kingston, Ont., newspaper for its willingness to listen to complaints in private.The Whig-Standard, circulation 36,000, said in an editorial last week the commission is inviting “the delivery in private session of petty, vindictive grievances by reporters and editors who don’t have the courage, which they demand from every public person and public office, to deal in the open." “It conjures comparison to the spy-on-your-bosses syndrome of China's cultural revolution.” the editorial said, adding “and it isn ’t far from a Gang of Three to a Gang of Four." The paper said it could not trust the judgment of a commission “which, in its first acts, denies a' principle for which the free press in Canada has never stopped fighting ” Nicholas Gwyn, secretary to the commission, rejected the paper’s criticism as “a gross exaggeration " He said chairman Tom Kent and commissioners Laurent Picard and Borden Spears will hold all their hearings in public, beginning in two weeks But they will meet in private with academics or retired newspaper persons for philosophical discussions “to help us to think through problems.” "The commission wants to operate as openly as possible," he said in an interview.‘The commission also has to do its work as effectively as possible.Those two considerations may seem to be in conflict at times ” RESPONSE GOOD Many persons have responded to the commission's advertisements seeking comments on how well newspapers serve their needs, Gwyn said.Some have submitted formal briefs which will be made public, others will give their views at public hearings, and some have written private letters.He said the commission will "respect — where it is warranted — the privacy of people.” Residents of Winnipeg and Ottawa will have a chance to tell the commission during the week of Dec.8 how they were affected by the closing on Aug 27 of the Winnipeg Tribune and the Ottawa Journal The simultaneous closings gave Winnipeg to Thomson Newspapers Ltd.'s Free Press and Ottawa to Southam Inc.’s Citizen.Public hearings and written briefs are two of the sources the commission will rely on when making its recommendations on what, if anything, should be done about the concentration of newspaper ownership in the hands of relatively few owners.The third source is two dozen studies and surveys to be done by professors and other consultants.These include telephone surveys to determine how people feel when a newspaper in their city closes, a look at journalism schools and training programs for reporters and an effort to determine newspapers' responsibilities to the public and how well they fulfil them.A “broad and deep” study is also being done of the economics of newspaper publishing to find out why newspapers have fallen into the hands of a small number of groups or chains, Gwyn said.t WED NOVEMBER Ï6, 1980 5 Business —_____toga IfCCOXTI Boivin: PR man extraordinaire ESTATE PLANNING Does your present WILL maximise the value your beneticianes will eventually derive trom your assets?- Consult us at m Crow n Trust t'entral Huildmt: UhincM West SherbrooKr itHtuytti Other «fliers across ( anada $ By MARC ROBERGE GRANBY — Horace Boivin.founder of the Granby Zoo, mayor of Granby for years and father of 11.says he’s never had a headache in his life.We sometimes wonder how prominent figures like Horace Boivin conduct themselves in their daily lives Public relations work, as an Industrial Commissioner.can be a professional occupation w hich spells only glory to the majority of people, but it has its drawbacks.Although he has a busy schedule.Boivin does not complain and he takes good care of his health Because of work, he has lunch almost daily in restaurants.“I eat one meal per day.seven days a week and I take an aperitif to be polite,” he says, ‘ But only one.I smoke in my office when I receive visitors, but never at home."

food to secure its future With demand for cars hit by recession, Volvo wants to buy Sweden's largest investment and trading group.Beijerinvest, in an attempt to broaden its economic base.The proposed merger with Beijerinvest.whose interests are mainly in oil, would form the biggest company in Scandinavia, grouping about 300 firms under a new masthead, Investment AB Volvo-Beijer.Volvo has tried twice before to strengthen itself by moving into other companies Volvo is vulnerable to fluctuations of demand because 80 per cent of its sales are made abroad.To date, the company has weathered the recession well, wnth turnover in the first six months of this year down only half a percentage point over the first six months of 1979.But the company’s figures w ere propped up by sales of trucks and heavy equipment, which disguised flagging car sales The idea behind the proposed merger is to combine Volvo's industrial skill with Beijerinvest’s trading skills in a new enterprise based on transport a t i o n , energy, engineering and food, WOULD BE 25TII The new company would be the 25th largest in Europe with an annual tunover of $9.5 billion and 75,000 employees around the world.Beijerinvest chief Anders Wall said the aim of the new company was to make money, something for which he is widely respected here Swedes believe that with Wall as chairman and Volvo managing director Pehr Gyllenhammar as managing director of the new company, it cannot fail.Volvo shares climbed $2 35 on the day after the proposed merger was announced, and shares in Beijerinvest soared $14.One of of Beijerinvest's subsidiaries, Scandinavian Trading (STC), is a leading independent oil company Beijerinvest also has interests in motor vehicles, food processing and trading STU contributed $1.6

into the first quarter of 1981, says a Winnipeg analyst.But Leo Soenen of Richardson Securities of Canada said the industry appears to be optimistic about future prospects despite the possibility of a slow recovery.In a recent report, Soenen said optimism is particularly apparent in the petrochemical industry, where the value of announced and planned expansion for the first half of this decade exceeds that of the 1970s.In the next four years, he said, about $2 billion of petrochemical expansion will be coming on stream and more of the same can be expected during the latter half of the 1980s.The basic question is what the industry will do with the huge volumes of basic petrochemicals which, it is anticipated, will far exceed domestic demand.Soenen said foreign competition is a major uncertainty for the industry.But Canadian petrochemical producers should fare well in the export market if feedstock prices and the value of the Canadian dollar continue to give them an important competitive edge.• EDMONTON (CP) — There’s no future for solar-heated houses in Alberta, says an Alberta professor who just completed a 3Vi-year study on the subject Bob Gilpin, a mechanical engineering professor at the University of Alberta, bases his opinion on a study of six test houses built on universityowned land on the outskirts of city.The $225,000 study, which continues until April, 1982, is financed by the federal and Alberta governments.The six one-storey houses were built with different amounts of insulation.Some have solar energy attachments.A computer monitored the fuel consumption and temperatures of the houses, identical in floor size and plan, as they endured their first Alberta winter last year “The arguments are that energy costs may make solar economic,” Gilpin said.“But long before it gets to that point, conservation measures are more economic." TheTnost energy-inefficient of the houses was the “standard” house.The wall insulation is rated R7, the ceilings have R12 and there is no insulation in the basement.The more insulation, the more heat retained The standard house, said Gilpin, is similar to about 75 per cent of the houses in Edmonton.• WINNIPEG ( CP ) — Market prices for hogs have turned around in the last six months as consumers switched from highpriced beef to pork.Provincial hog sales are 15 per cent ahead of last year and analysts predict the high sales levels will continue through the winter.“Costs of production are still climbing but it looks like prices and production will keep up well the rest of this year and into the next,” Bill Munro, manager of the Manitoba Hog Producers Marketing Board, said in an interview.Munro said he expects per capita consumption, now at about 70 pounds, is “probably going to reach 75 pounds, an all-time Canadian high.” Normal per capita consumption levels in Canada and the United States was about 55 pounds.Last spring, a glut developed from rapid herd expansion in Canada and the U.S., driving prices so low that producers were losing money on every hog delivered to market.Munro said Manitoba producers were losing about $20 a head.NEW AT PAULSIMONEAU INC.A TEAM YOU CAN TRUST Paul Simoneau owner and Massey Ferguson Dealer lor 25 years teoSimard.sales manager 20 years'experience in the sales ol agricultural and industrial machinery Yves Vandandaique.sales rep (lilies Godbout.service manager Before Buying, See PAUL SIMONEAU AND HIS TEAM who will advise you and respond to your needs UC SIMONE AU me.M F NOW A NEW SITE OF 18,800 sq.ft.SPECIAL OFFER for limited time only HAY BALER MF-124 «mm u Buy Now Before Price Increases TRACTOR NO 285 èlL' '* niâ *12 speed * Auxiliary Pump Multi-power *Power Steering * Double Oil Outlet No.230 No 245 No.255 No.265 No.275 BUY & SAVE NOW PAULSIMONEAU 1261 KING ST.E., SHERBROOKE TEL.: 563-4343 cs 6 WED., NOVEMBER 26, 1980 Living #l__ggl ifBCtHtl Curry brings life to November MEUBLES GASTON AUCLAIR Best Deals In The Eastern Townships 41 Grégoire St.-Adamsville, Que.South at Exit 68 of Highway 10 Tel.: (514) 263-6193 or 263-6197 Any way you look at it, this is a blah month.Grey skies, mist, swirling snow but no skiing to go with it.It’s too early for Christmas The tax bill must be paid November has all the effervescence of flat gingerale.It’s time to fight back with a one-boy curry.You don't need 30 side-dishes < at least a two-boy curry) to have a gorgeous, fragrant Saturday night meal You can start off gently by buying a can of Beefamato and heating it with a dollop of white wine or a spoonful of yoghurt added when you take it off the heat This will open the throat and prepare it for the curry.You will have a more flavorful curry if you heat the spices for 10 minutes in a low oven before you use them.Don’t forget to buy some parsley if you have none growing in the window And a bowl of tangerines will make a nice centerpiece.While the curry cooks you've time to polish your brass candlesticks to keep that Far East theme.For dessert, chilled orange compote is just about all you’ll be able to manage.ORANGES ORIENTALE 8 large navel or Temple oranges 1'* cups sugar li2 cups light corn syrup Red food color 11 cup lemon juice 14 cup cointreau With sharp paring knife, remove peel from 4 oranges in I'z-inch-long strips.Remove any white membrane from strips;

Ellis said "It was due a lot to being out of the game "But it’s in control now and arrested.I got with the Fellowship of People there and they worked wonders It was one of the biggest decisions of my life I'm glad I made it at that particular time " Ellis, a right-hander who won 19 games for the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates, said he developed a drinking habit once he reached the majors in 1968 "It's a shame that the disease itself is socially ac- cepted," he said "That’s what's so bad about it "People are not knowledgeable to the fact that it » a disease It'soneof the top three killers today People don't realize that But 1 had reached the point w here 1 did.And (former Brooklyn IXxigers pitcher) Don Newcombe got me some help." Newcombe had referred both Porter and Dodger pit cher Rick Welch to The Meadows to beat the bottle Ellis said he hasn't touched a drop since he left The Meadows last month "But it's not a thing where you're ever cured," he said "I'm in the stage of recovery for the rest of my life " Ellis's his baseball career came to a close at the end of the 1979 season with the Pirates After compiling an 80-70

(AP) - Dick Stanfel, named Tuesday to replace his old friend and former boss as head coach of New Orleans Saints, said he has little to offer the winless National Football League team this year except hard work and pride.Nolan was fired Monday night after his learn fell 27-7 to Los Angeles Rams.It was the 12th straight loss of the season for the Saints.General manager Steve Rosenbloom said he and team owner John Mecom Jr., arrived independently at the decision to fire Nolan, then talked and broke the news to Nolan and told Stanfel that they wanted him to take over.Applications for the 1981 season will be solicited after the end of this year, Rosenbloom said.He said he and Mecom decided to fire Nolan after consecutive lackadaisical performances, first against Atlanta and then against the Rams.The final four games of the season were the deciding factor, he said.“We didn’t want the players to go through the motions in a situation that wouldn’t change.” By ANTHONY ROSS SHERBROOKE Bad minton is fast becoming one of the most popular sports in Quebec colleges and fans of the sport are in for a treat ibis Saturday at the Univer sily of Sherbrooke sports center when Canadian champion Pat Tryon and Quebec champion Luc Gosselin will lx' playing exhibi tion matches.The matches are part of an 11-city Quebec tour spon sored by Black Knight Sports Equipment The tour began November 24 and will conclude on December 7.Tryon, 24, was born in WT1 mington, Pennsylvania and has lived in Canada for the past six years.He started playing badminton when he was 10 and won the Canadian title in Ottawa Iasi May.Tryon has represented Can ada for the last throe years in 22 international matches.Canada is not yet a world power in badminton, although we do have one woman, Wendy Carter, who is among the top eight in the world.However, the sport here is still of much higher calibre than in the U.S., according to Tryon.“Canadian badminton is far ahead of the U S.because of the support we receive from the national association," he says."South of the border, individual promot ing is left up to the clubs,” Tryon’s main opponent in Saturday’s matches will be Gosselin, whom he consid ers an excellent player "I beat him 15-4 and 15-11 in our last meeting but Luc is very good and we should put on an exciting display,” said Try-on.Another top ranked Que- bec player.Robert Yer geau, will also be featured as well as two local compeli tors, Louis Duperre and Nguyen Than Son Tryon is off to Europe in January for four months to compete in a number of tour numents The Canadian Badminton Association will bo giving him his passage there and back, but once on the continent he w ill have to pay his own way In badminton, there are licensed and unlicensed players.Licensed players receive prize money, while the unlicensed must turn all their winnings over to their national associations.The system works much the same way as all amateur athletics where the associa lions are able to find ways to reroute the money hack to the players Tryon realistically expects to win $1,500 in his four months, although, if he won every tournament he ent ered, that figure could lx-tripled least The best players in Europe come from England and Holland with the remainder of the top eight being made up of Asians "Badminton is becoming more popular in Canada and particularly in Quebec Whenever we have a Quebec tour we have no trouble recruiting crowds," added Tryon The matches at Univestrie get underway at 7 p.m.The final match will be the featured event pitting Tryon and Gosselin against each other which should take place about 8:15.Admission is free for all members of the center and for non-members the price is $0 50 for all those under 18 and $2 for adults.PAT TRYON ^JJ-cib^our THIS

Wellington South Sherbrooke, Que.563-6644 .AND HOCKEY GETS A BREAK MONTREAL (CP) — The National Hockey League quietly reached the one-quarter mark in its 840-game season Saturday night while most Canadian fans were distracted by the imminent, if not eminent, Grey Cup game and accompanying hype.With the Canadian Football League now out of the way until next year, full attention now can be paid to the NHL.Here are a few points to help the newly-attentive catch up: Left winger Charlie Simmer of Los Angeles Kings leads the scoring race with 43 points on 23 goals and 20 assists, while rightwinger Mike Bossy of New York Islanders tops NHL goal scorers with 25.Quebec Nordiques centre Peter Stastny, meanwhile, has a 14-game point-scoring streak, the longest of the season, surpassing Simmer’s earlier 13-game streak.Stastny has earned 24 points in the 14 games.But, even with seven goals and 18 assists for 25 points in 20 games, the former Czechoslovakian national team member ranks only second among rookies in the scoring parade.Centre Denis Savard of Chicago Black Hawks has 27 points, including 11 goals.ROOKIES SHOW WELL Other rookies in the top 23 points earners are centre Dave Christian of Winnipeg Jets, with five goals and 20 assists for 25 points, and Los Angeles defenceman Larry Murphy, with 24 points from five goals and 19 assists.Not to be outdone by the skaters, rookie goaltender Don Beaupre, who played his way into the Minnesota North Stars’ plans with an excellent training camp, had the third-best individual goals-against average before games Tuesday night.Beaupre has a 2.33 average and a 5-2-2 won-lost-tied record.Generally, however, goaltenders have been faring worse than in the recent past.The NHL had its highest goals-per-game average since the Second World War last season at 7.03 goals by both clubs Through games Monday night, the average this season was 7.51, or almost half a goal a game more.And the NHL hasn't seen a scorer like Bossy since the halcyon days of the free-scoring offensive greats such as Cy Denneny of the old Ottawa Senators and Boston Bruins Denneny is the all-time goals-per-game leader among players with 200 or more goals.He scored 250 goals in 326 games, or .767 goals a game, between 1917-18.the NHL's first season, and 1928-29 TORONTO (CP) — After the smoke of Grey Cup week clears, Toronto hotels usually brace themselves for the big clean-up.But this year, apart from some minor headaches and a lot of hangovers, there wasn’t much to clean."We found things much quieter than in the past even though there were more visitors from out of town,” Tord Smidt, manager of the Sheraton Centre Hotel, said Sunday.“Aside from the usual rowdiness, we didn’t have any problems with security or damage.” In 1978, the last time the Grey Cup was played here, hotels reported thousands of dollars in damage as exuberant fans ripped telephones off walls, damaged hotel furniture and carpets and generally had a good time.This year, hotel officials said, the rowdiness was left at home.Hotel lobbies, the normal conference rooms for boisterous western and eastern fans, still overflowed, but although booze flowed freely, there was an air of restraint.Maybe it was the over-confidence of the western fans, whose Edmonton Eskimos beat Hamilton Tiger-Cats 48-10 to win the cup, that led to their impeccable behavior, said some hotel officials As of Sunday night, all furniture was still in place But with more than $20 547 2(44 TILDEN FCAR RENTAL • MOVING TRUCKSl WEEKEND SPECIALTY * « 1 !
