CLERK, Town of Whitby 405 Dundas Street West, M 12, 19Whitby, Ontario. by BLAKE PURDY Staff Writer "Everything that is worth- while has to ove rcome obstacles", according to David Murdoch, National Speakers Chairrnan for the Organization Committee for the Canadian Olympics. Mr. Murdoch made the staternent in defence of the problein beset Olympic Gaines to be held in Montreal this sumrmer. Mr. Murdoch was taking the affirmative side of the argument "The Olympics in Canada - Can We Really Afford It?" during Anderson Collegiate Vocational Insti- tute's second annual Canada Day activilies Thursday. Durhami West New Deino- cratic Party MPP Charles Godfrey took tlhe negative st a nd. Mr. Murdoch spent mnucb of bis speaking lîie attac,.ingl the media fo r ils barsb criticisnm of tbe games, tbeir cost and their organizers. He lried to straiglen out sonie of the mnisconceptions wbicbi lie said tbe media is responsible for. He likened tbe situation facing tbe organizers of the gaines t0 that wbicbi faced the organizers of Expo '67. No one believed Expo '67 would be ready fo r ils scheduled opening but it was. He said the same is Irue of the Olympics. "Tbe I1976 Olym pic Gaines will he open on lime", Mr. Murdocb said. "Pretty well everything bias been coinpIe ted". The main stadium, whicb bas been tbe subject of mucbi attention, wvill be coruplete on time as will tbe change moms wbich will not be where lhey wcre originally scheduled, he said. In defence of the criticismn of tbe fact that tbiree to six athletes wîll bave to share each roorn in the Olympic Village, Mr. Murdocb said Ibat, until recently, tbe athletes were quartered in barracks, aI approxinîately 1 50 per roomi. Problemis are notbinig new tu tbe Olympîc Gaines, Mr. Murdoch bold several biundred studenîs i the school 's gymnasiurn. He described some of the difficulties which have arisen at past gaie's. At the 1886 games in Athens, there was a stadium but il had no seats. In 1900 in France, tree trunks often got in the path of flying javelins. In. 1904 in Rome, the swimnuing events were some- what disturbed when the raft at the starting line sunk with the weight of the competitors and the rope at the finish line moved with the waves, making the distance of the race différent for each athle te. Despite aIl the probleins in the past and the difficulties aI present, Mr. Murdoch maintained tbal the Olyrnpics are worthwhile. Nol only will the gaines bring wealth 10 the country they will bring heal th as well, bie said. Mr. Murdoch feels thal the wealtb will corne in the forni of nioney spent by visîtors froin other counîries to the Olynipies. In addition, he said, tbe value of the Canadian dollar bas already increased one per cent on tbe international market because the games are being heîd here. He beli:ves tbe gaine will bring health to the nation in two ways. The facilities used wiIl be left after the Olympics for varioî).s aîhleîic events. la addition, the exposure that the ganws will be given will help familiarize Canadians witb the various sports and should generate inlerest 10 tbe point wbere people will participate in thein. Dr. Codfrey would be ecsta tic if tb 'at is the result of the gamres. However, he believes otberwise. lie feels that tbe games will hurt tbe country inancially. Dr. Godfrey said that Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau persuaded the International Olympic Comi- miîîee 10 hold ganies in bis city by telling [t Ibat littîe expenditure would be required. Mr. Drapeau bias main- tained that the chances of mioney being lost by the gaines were as remote as a man baving a child, Dr. Godfrey said. "Mr. Drapeau has called in Dr. Morgenthaler", he commented. The federal goverinent also misled the public, *according to Dr. Godfrey. "The governnrient said *we'll be rolling in il. 1 doubt the 'it' will be money", he remarked. Because of the cost invol- ved, Dr. Godfrey feels that the Olyrnpics, instead of being a unifying force, may be a divisive force. "Quebec rnay be asking for a lilîle more than the rest of Canada is willing 10 pay", he said. Dr. Godfrey not only crilicized the Monîreal gaines and their costs but also offered suggestions on how to save money. Hold the Olympics in Wbitevale, he said and elaborated on his plans to Free Press Photo hold the gaines in that village of 140 famiies in the region. Most of the required facilities are already there, he said. The gravel pit would make an ideal stadium with seating for 40,000 people. The diving competitions could be held at the pond with the bridge for the low dive and the mill for the high dive. Toilet facilities are a problein, Dr. Godfrey con- ceded but said that the, problein could be overcomne if people took bags with thein. "The bags are flot a reposîtory. People wilI thein over their heads when they do it to save embar- assmen-, he said. Although no one said il,' the thought that maybe the Olympie organizers should wear the bags over their heads lingered in the air.

The sculpture is -m-,-de of two pieces of wet formed cowhide intertwined into a vertabrae form. Mr. Willi,,,:ms, and Oshawa artist Dan Reid are exhibiting their works at the Whitby Arts Station until May 30, indicating what local talent there is in the Whitby-Oshawa area.
