Lions' presîdent, Don Marsden is pictured at right. At Lions Club CFL Officiai Talks Football Sometimes it is tough for a Canadian Football League officiai not to be a spectator at a football game. This was a problem that was outlined by Bill Dell, an officiai for the CFL, who wa# the guest, speaker at the Lions' Club meeting on Monday, April 24. Bill pointed out that each officiai has his own area on the field to watch and he must flot desert that post. Ahl the bail has to do is touch the goal uine to be counted as a touchdown. An official cannot miss that event. Born and raised in Oshawa, Bill has been a member of the Toronto Referees' Board for 20 years. He started out by officiating the junior games in the Oshawa area, advanced to the intermediate games and from there was chosen by the CFL to be an official at their games. Bill said that officiais used to be chosen by the CFL teams but it was found that, in some cases, the ones chosen were a bit too partisan. In one crucial game with Montreal, it. was discovered later that the linesmen had moved the yard stick when nobody was iooking. It meant Montreal did flot get first down when they were entitled to it. At first, Mr. Dell was put on the yard sticks and the downs box, but after he got to know the other officiais and got a feeling of how a CFL officiating team operated, he progressed upward and in recent years has been the referee of several Grey Cup games. , Conditioning Just like the players, the officials have to go through conditioning in preparation for the games. An officiai has to be able to run 50 to 100 yards at any given moment for 21/2 hours in a day. Being in good shape is also important for self-perserva- tion for a linesman or a referee must be able to get out of the way of a play. Sometimes, with the bal carrier, tackiers and blockers coming at you from al directions, it is impossible to get away, Bill pointed out. In such a case, he says, the officiai has to just go with the play and take what is dished out to him. But, officiais can be as dedicated to their work as the players. Bill recounted an instance wihere a referee, who had been unavoidably tackied, continued through the rest of the game with a broken leg, Instant Replays Bill officiated thie first Grey Cup game played at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal. He said he likes the iclea of the instant replays that are shown at the stadium. t allows the players and the officials to see how well or how poorly they've done and it gives the spectator more for his money. He added, it is a definite incentive for fans to go to the game rather than sit at home and see it ail on television. When asked if it was possible for the referee, by his position on the field, to give away a play he might have overheard from the huddle of one team, Bill said that he always makes sure he can't hear what is going on in the huddie. He said he wouid neyer want to be accused of giving away a play to another team. "A referee places himself where he feels comfortable", he said. Bill said the toughest eaul to make is pass interference because it has the most influence on the game and is the- hardest to judge. An official has to determine whether a player interfered with another before, during or after an attempt to catch a pass was made. Bill Dell's talk to the Lion's Club was very interesting and informative. It included many humorous anecdotes fromn the field.* It made the, Lions members realize that, despite popular opinion, officiais at CFL gamèes do have two eyes.'

To date there are eight Block Parents but many more are needed to cover theentire area served by Vincent Massey. Mrs. Wiseman says that before the summer vacation Block Parents signs wilI be display- ed in the ciassrooms to acquaint students with the program. Detective Sergeant Carmen Whyte of the Juvenile Division of the Durham Regional Police spoke to us on the serious aspects of child molestation. Despite the seriousness of this community problem, Det. Sgt. Whyte managed to keep our spirits up with some humorous anecdotes. Mr. Grant Thompson, Vice Principal of Courtice Public Schools brought the plan of their proposed Creative Play- ground and spoke to us about the work that their committee has done over the last six months in preparation for construction of this unit. Those present at the meeting felt that the students of Vincent Massey would benefit greatly from the 'addition of such a playground and a committee has been formed under the leadership of Sue and Harold Silver, assisted by Lynn and Wayne Linton, Pam and Norm Fenton and Alwyn Huigens, to investigate the feasibiiity of such an addition.
