Bruce Robert Christopher (also known as Superstroke), is presently on tour in Ontario promoting his book and a new line of Canadian cues at shopping centres and major department stores. He is shown here during a visit to a tournament at the Castle Hotel with his brother, Wayne (right). Superstroke explains that he is attempting to promote pool as a healthy sport for the entire family. He first played against pool great Minnesota Fats in a televised televised shootout broadcast on ABC Wild World of Sports in 1977. Since then, he has challenged Fats five times, with Minnesota Fats winning three of those contests. On May 3, Minnesota Fats and Superstroke will be meeting again in Toronto for their sixth career shootout. Bruce Christopher spent last year travelling approximately approximately 200,000 miles in an effort to enhance the popularity popularity of billiards as an allround allround family sport. "Playing pool is like breathing to me. I really love pool," says Christopher. Christopher. An Ontario native, Christopher Christopher recalls that he began playing pool on his mother's kitchen table at age seven, using his Dad's cut-off golf clubs as pool cues, while marbles and bonkers were his targets. Even then, his dream was to play pool on television against Minnesota Fats. In 1977, that fantasy came true for Bruce (Superstroke) Christopher who played Fats on ABC Wide World of Sports dur- i ng the first money shootout at the famous Waldorf Astoria Astoria Hotel in New York City. Later, a CBS sports spectacular spectacular pitted the two colorful colorful personalities in a Las Vegas money players' shootout aired in 1979: In his career, Christopher has played against Minnesota Minnesota Fats a total of five times. Three of those times, Fats was the winner. However, Superstroke will have a chance to even his record May 3 when he will take on the champ in a competition at Toronto. It will be filmed for showing on television at a later date.

Hairstyling Telephone 623-6252 WAVERLY PLAZA BOWMANVILLE P.C. Don Anderson, Durham Regional Police In one of my earlier columns, I made mention of Operation Identification. Today, I would like to explain the program. Operation Identification is a simple way of identifying your property should your home be burglarized. It aids the police in the identification of recovered property and in its return to you, the owner. It also acts as a deterrent to burglars through the use of window stickers and publicity of the program. In cities where the program has been used extensively it has proven to be very effective in recovery of property as well as burglary reduction. A burglar considering a break and enter in an area where Operation Identification Identification is known to be used would avoid taking marked property. This marked property could be used as evidence of his crime. Once the property has been marked, Operation identification identification decals are placed at possible entry points the burglar might use, doors, windows, etc. The very fact that he knows your valuables are marked, and can be identified could prevent a burglary. The identification mark you choose could be a driver's licence number, it is personal, yours and can be identified and traced by the police. Your Social Security number is also good. In the case of a business, school, etc., the police should be contacted, they will issue a special number which would aid police anywhere in tracing the ownership of property. An electric engraver may be obtained from the Police, Insurance Agents or they may be purchased at a reasonable price. These engravers are effective on wood, plastic and metal. The number should be placed where it is visible, if possible, as a deterrent, a second number could be hidden, if desired. Ultraviolet sensitive pens can be used for marking china, cameras, luggage, etc. Clothing could \ have numbers sewn into the linings. If some property is too small or fragile, you should take a photograph of the item, with a ruler alongside for accurate size of the item. As articles are marked, enter them on a property list which is to be placed in a safe place, and hopefully kept up to date. List the marked property as description, make, color, serial number, original cost. This information is invaluable to the investigator. Warning - do not place Operation Identification decals on doors and windows unless your property has been marked. If you are buying or selling marked items be sure to obtain or give a receipt with the number. This could be very necessary in determining the ownership. Make use of Operation Identification, it can help you. Letter to the Editor Lindsay, Ontario R. R.
