It concerns the role that I and a number of other Canadians played in maintaining the competitive image of the Olympic Games in Montreal. As you are undoubtedly aware, almost thirty nations from Africa dropped out of the Games in protest, leavîng large gaps in many events and severely disrupting others. I had intended to be merely a contests without them. 1 mean, 50 many teams will win by default that it's really not fair. Unless..." "Unless what? I asked. "Unless we can provide substitutes for them!" "You don't mean . .. ? "0f course," he said, "it's just struck me! That's the answer! We merely have to find enough people to fi the vacuum lef t by the departing teams." He seemed almost jubilant. "But where are you going to find that many top athietes?" I asked. "Well, they don't have to be ail that good," he replied "Just as long as they put up a decent show. 0f course, I know I can count on you, John." "Oh no, you don~t" I blurted. I continued to protest but finally I was talked into it and agreed to register the next day at the Olympie Village. When I arrived, along with my ac- creditation papers I was handed a pair of boxing trunks and then ushered into a large room full of paunchy, over- weight men sttuffed inglorious- ly into a variety of track clothes. My cousin was ad- dressing the group. "Gentlemen, I want to thank you for volunteering to help us out this way. You've, ail got your assignments, 50 good luck." He then left. I approached a knot of men who were having a loud discussion about something. "'It's not fair," one was saying,' "and if I live through this, I'm going to protest to my "What's wrong?" I inquir- ed., "We've been shanghaied, that's what's wi'ong," another said. "They invoked the War Measures Act and drafted. us to compete in the Olympics. I was quietly sitting in the stands with my wife when the Mounties hauled me off here and told me 1 would be in the 1,000 metre race. Hel], I couldn't make my nose run let alone my feet! " "What about me," some- body else chimed in, "for spectator at the Games- be- cause I had the opportunity to stay with my cousin who lives in Montreal andwho is also an officiai in charge of schedul- ing events for the '76 Olym- pics. t was flot until 1 arrived at his home last week that I learned how serious the situa- tion really was. "It's terrible," he said in reply to my question. "Track and field, boxîng, cycling and football are ail messed up because they pulled out. Frankly, I don't know how we can present a proper list of Shiloh U.C.W. with 15 ladies present met at the home of Mrs. John Layng, for their July meeting last Wedniesday evening. The president Mary Caswell, opened the meeting with prayer and Mrs. Layng gave the devotional. Reports were gîven, follow- ed by the business, with plans made to have a pot luck dinner in the church basement on Sunday. Mrs. Bert Trim dîsplayed two beautiful quilts to be sold for our U.C.W. Mrs. Garnet Rickard was the speaker for the evening and gave an interesting talk on the religion in different countries. A vote of thanks was given to Mrs. Rickard. Mrs. Llew Hallowell and Mrs. Layng served lunch at the close of t meeting. A years I hav, . ne anything more strenuoui. than hoist a glass of beer so they put me in weightlifting. " And so it went, with others voicing bitter complaints about having been forced to take part in the Games against their will. However, that is ail history. Very few of the television viewers saw what happened to most of us. The CBC had been told, for obvious reasons, not to focus on our participation if at ahl possible and they shgwed only the four or five runners who fînished the races and flot those who were carried off on stretchers after completing only fifty yards. In my own case, I gradually got the knack of falling down convinc- ingly after the second or third punch was thrown at me and looking in a, rather dazed fashion as the referee counfed over me. Unfortunately, sometimes I wasn't quite fast enough and my drop to the canvas was hastened by' a solid left hook. As our group of draftees was eliminated one by one, we al got together in a special winîg of the hospital that had been reserved for us and. decided that we would meetonce a year after this for what were designated as the Pudgy Games. To qualify, a person has to be at least twenty pounds overweight and, preferably, short of breath. Events would include a 25 foot dash to the bar at opening time and tying your shoelaces in one swift, graceful movement. Our'sym- bol, instead of the five connected rings, would be Four -Roses. Winners, of course, would be awarded the Golden Goblet, while second and third place finishers would recéive pewvter and glass beer mugs, respectively. Look for our announcement of the qualifying heats in your local newspaper. See you at the Games! social hour was spent and alI enjoyed the wonderful view from Mrs. Layng's lovely home.
