Welfare crisis feared - Durham Region's welfare figures for July appear to have stablized but officials are stili fearing things will get worse. "I'm reaily col cerned," said Ajax Mayor Jim Wib,- ty, pointing out the $23.7 million in welfare payments through July have accounted for 59 per cent of the region's gross budget expen- ditures.

This week 1 want to add a few thiings you should be looking out for as you join your teamn of choice. Watch out fori the hypochondriac - Every teami is sad- dled with a hypochondriac. HWs or her appearance is muisleading. It is always lus or her nature to look for an illness or comrplaint as an excuse for playing poorly. Watch out for the drinker - Teami sports not by accident attract son-e mighty imbibers. They are prone to being hearty and telling the sanie rambling stories again and again. Neyer be the Ieast concernied to leave him ,or her 'alone at the bar. They will flot notice youv absence. Watch out for the -Knowall"- The know-aII is interested more in the other team miemibers' techniques than his own. His or lier advise to them isç about as welcomne as i- team ing Lotto 649 is to a dying mari. The know ail is of course at his, or hier most knowledgable best, after the best . Watch out for the Yob - tIs per-- sonr is lewd, rowdy, coarse, vulgar, hot-tempered and unreliable. On their own and awýay front the team, the yob is a differenit person. C'uriously the yob is not a leather- clad youth with a Mohican hiaircut and tattooed body, but a mniddle- aged respectable person. Whn ou are on your own and feel compelled to gO out on the town to "cuit-uip", threyob makes anr excellent compa- nmon. Watch out f'or the team vice- captain - the tealii vice-captain is usually named "Adoif" because of' his manner. When the teami looses, his face wiII drain of color and sinewýs stifferi. OnIly a trained psychiatrist can explain the reasons for1-this. Watch out for the post-game bar gathering - The bar isý a post-gamne refugwerePeople who nio longer play on a teami, gather to provîcle .Ou with their kniowledge, which in ail -cases is unbenefic2ial. Always take part in the post game bar- singing. By d(oing séyvou wili appear to have becoone Of0 the "oiks" you have alwayvs despised. Again have'fun with your team - have f'un with everyone on the teamn. l've had fun trying to describe them. by Gord Milîs Banrna Home Check -Vacation Home Checking -Let us make your home look lîved il 1 Barb Shetier-Ina Cox N EWTONVILLE <6)786-2996 Equip yoursel f at the SPORTS -SHOP with produots tram the Best in the Business BAUER - C.C.M. - COOPER - TACKLA EASTON - KOHO - SHERWOOD LOUISVILLE - and others Drop in Soon for the Best Selection Open Evenings BO WMA NVILLE SPORTS SHOP 121 King St East 416-623-0322 JAMES DICK CONCRETE, & -1-800-263-3711 AGGREGATES 416-86-34 416-655-3500 SERVING COMMERCIAL PETERBOROUGH - LINDSAY INDUSTRIAL OSHAWA - WHITBY RESIDENTIAL BOWMAN VILLE AGRICULTURAL.
