"The new arrangement tidies up our capital structure," Thomson said in an interview. "It now puts us in a position where we can bid for some very large businesses." Following the shares shakeup, it became clear that Thomson and his family had a stake worth more than £20,000,000 in British newspapers and tele vision. FAR-FLUNG EMPIRE The family's total stake in a publishing empire that's gcat- tered across North America, Britain and Africa now is be- lieved to be in the neighbor- hood of £35,000,000. The overhaul announced today applies only to Thomson's Brit- ish interests, including the Scot- tish independent television sta- tion, the influential Sunday Times and more than 40 other newspapers. | The upshot is that Thomson| increases his grip on the com- pany's voting stock to 83 per |cent from 58 per cent. For all | practical purposes, this is su- preme control. The value of the British group| i |is roughly £40,000,000. Big Roy Thomson UK.

A joint meeting of the Baha'is of Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering was held Monday evening to celebrate the 117th anniversary of this declaration.

[TS TENNIS TIME AGAIN The overhead smash in ten- nis is one of the most difficult to execute. It is generally the reply-shot to an overhead lob, and the smash gives the player the opportunity to win a point outright.. Indeed, the smash should be unanswer- able. Requiring timing bal- ance, racquet control and power, Carol Whinfield, an Oshawa Tennis Club member, shows here the early prepara- tion for the shot. Note how she is buckling the right knee -- to generate body-power as she comes up and over the ball. How, with arched back and eye on ball, she has the racquet-face deflected, com- ing down behind the head, in readiness for the round, up- -and over swing at the falling ball. --Oshawa Times Photo
