While he won't make any predictions, Love said that the appeal process should not take as long as the ar- BROOKLIN bitration proceedings. The arbitration ruling means, he addecl, that some of the former workers in the 45 ta 55 age group will have to wait as long as 17 years before they receive their pensions.

CBC stil alive The Whitby C.B.C. Builders are still alive defeating the Oshawa Green Gaels 19 ta 16 on Monday. The Builders lost al three of their games last week in Ontario Junior 'A' quarter-finals. The Minto Cup cham- pions lost 23 ta 15 last Friday night in a game that was marred with a bench-clearing brawl in the final minu tes of play.1 During that game, bath Whitby coach Peter Vîpond and Oshawa coach Jim Hinlcson agreed that the performance of the referees wasn't up ta, the usual standard. In fact, Vipond said that bad officiating was just as responsible for the Builder's lass as the team was. "We just didn't get a break from them," he said. "I don't know why, but lacrosse bas the worst referees of any sport.".ý During mhat game the Builders amassed a total of 108 minutes in penalties. Last Wednesday, the Gaels toak their second of the seven-game play- off series defeating the Builders by 12 ta 7 bef are a home-town crowd in the Iroquois Park Arena.

In order ta stay in mhe playoffs, the Builders have ta win tonîght when they take on mhe Oshawa club for mhe fif- th game at the Iroquois Park Arena. k 1 'Q 1 hr FREEZER BEEF A-1 Red Brand Steer Beef I1.99 Sides .............i1.69 Chucks...... 4 BROWN'S FOODMASTER 1
