. : LL Ro This was the action at the track during the Port | Perry Fair 31 years ago in 1950. Times change, but horse racing and para-mutual betting is still a popular event at the Fair and this year will be no different. The Fair will be held September 5, 6 and 7 at the Fairgrounds, just west of Port Perry.

For two months the players were on strike this summer, 'depriving the true fans of their warm weather enjoyment. Finally, the players agree to go back to work. Most of the fans were happy to welcome them back. But why is that for the past two Wednesdays in a row, both the CTV and CBC networks have aired baseball games at - CTV carried the Blue Jays and CBC carried the Expos, both on Wednesday evenings. ~ boot That's too much. First they go on strike, and now the networks expect the fan to have two TV sets going just to get full coverage. .

Do they want to drive the fan comp atty? I tried to watch both games on the tube last week, but not having one of those arm chair, channel switchers, 1 was getting tired jumping out of my chair to change stations. And besides, the true baseball fan can't watch two games at one time: the sport demands concentration to call all the subtleties and nuances. Frankly, I am disappointed in the networks for airing two different ball games the same night and same time. But what the heck, in two weeks, the hockey season will be _ underway with the Canada Cup Series. Have you notice how the sport pages are carrying long articles on the Team Canada training camp about how every player has worked especially hard to be in top condition for the series, and now every player is taking the task ahead with unprecedented seriousness? Seems to me we hear this same line every time the best of the NHL gets ready to square off with the best from Russia, Sweden and Czechoslovakia. * But if I was a betting man, I would put my money on the Russians in this Canada Cup. They got burned badly in 1976, finishing third, and it was a big blow to their pride. The Russians will be ready for this series in September with their very best. "The Czechs of course always play well in the big competitions, but they have lost too many stars to the NHL recently, and that has to really hurt their chances. by John B. McClelland As for the Swedes, virtaully their entire line-up is players from NHL teams. If guys like Salming, Nilsson, and Hedberg are motivated they could be a tough team because the Swedes at their best are fine hockey players, with as much ability and talent as anyone. The team from Finland is also stocked with players who hold their own in the NHL, but I don't think they have the depth of talent to win this series. However, they could be ~ capable of beating any team on a given night, and if tradition holds true, the Finns have a reputation for being spoilers in international hockey. I somehow just can't seem to picture the Americans winning this tournament, despite the fact that most of their players have NHL experience. However, nobody picked Team U.S.A. to win the gold medal at the Winter Olympics and look what happened. If there is one thing the Americans have in abundance, it is pride and determination, and no doubt the Olympic gold medal will be an inspiration for the present team. Here's my prediction on how the series will turn out. Russia will win the event with Canada and Sweden scrapping for second spot. The United States and Finland may be surprisingly strong in a couple of their games, and could be "giant killers." . Of course, I've been wrong in predictions before (except when it comes to the Argos, of course, but that's a different story) SPADINA If the voters in the Spadina by-election last week were sending a message to Pierre Trudeau, I think they were also giving, Joe Clark and the federal Tories something to chew on as well. Sure, winner Dan Heap from the NDP is well known locally in the riding and obviously ran a good campaign. But I think it is almost as significant that the protest vote didn't go to the Tory candidate Laura Sabia. - : Maybe the voters didn't like her style, which is shrill, but quite possibly the voters were saying they haven't much confidence in the Conservatives under Mr. Clark. No doubt the people who make the Conservative party in Ontario turn are looking at the Spadina results and shaking their heads in amazement. ' The defeat of Jim Coutts is a slap in the face for Trudeau (if he cares, which I doubt) but the fact that the winner was not a Conservative is a slap in the face of Joe Clark as well. PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., August 26, 1981 -- 5 letters Seeks information Dear Sir: I am trying to find out. where my grandparents lived and have been told my grandfdther - William Henry Warrian - had a blacksmith shop in Port Perry. He died in 1913 (age 94) and was buried at Twelve Mile Lake. The Warrian family settled in Haliburton in the 1840's but they seemed to move around a lot. Henry Warrian had a large family and. his two youngest girls were born in Port Perry. One was Eva Warrian, and the other was Mable Francis Warrian. I am hoping we might find some older person who might remember the Warrian family or locate some family records. I am told some of the Warrian's descendants went to Epsom to Public School. I think Thomas Clemons Warrian lived near Epsom for a few years. He died in 1926 and is buried in Lindsay. I have visited the Museum at Port Perry and have seen the book "On the Shores of Scugog". Sincerely | Mrs. Evelyn Jenkinson (Warrian) King City, Ontario P.O. Box 676 LOG 1KO EDITORS NOTE: Anyone having any information that would help Mrs. Jenkinson can contact her at the above address. Residents will oppose licence Two residents of Caesarea will attend a hearing this Thursday in Toronto to express their opposition to a liquor licence application for Frank's Restaurant in that small hamlet on Lake Scugog. Charlie Sharpe, who has been opposed to the liquor licence since a first hearing last April, says he will go to the hearing this week in Toronto because "I have to do what I think is right, and I still think the liquor licence is not right for that location and this community." Mr. Sharpe said he will be joined at the hearing by Ernie Dobson, also a resi- dent of Caesarea who has been opposed to the licence since the original hearing in April. The Liquor Licencing Board of Ontario made no decision on whether the restaurant would get a licence when Scugog council last May passed a resolution expressing "concern." Three weeks ago, the Board set another hearing for August 27, but Scugog council last week rescinded its earlier motion of concern. Frank's Restaurant was built _. last winter and apparently was ready to open this past spring or early summer. However, it has not been open for business this summer. It is located just west of the four corners in Caesarea. Correction An article in last week's Star about who to contact for entries in the up-coming Port Perry Fair contained an incorrect phone number. The correct number is 985-8716 for anyone wishing to enter an event or exhibit at the Fair this year. The Star is sorry for any inconvenience the incorrect number may have caused. Poor Joe does have his problems. There are lots of long knives poised to cut his political strings, and I think the Spadina result is just one more reason for some Tories to once again turn those long knives to the whet stone. The main rap against Joe has been that his leadership doesn't inspire confidence. I think this was again reflected last week in Spadina. It could be a hot winter in Ottawa.
