JAN. 23rd, 1964 Editorial Viewpoint Kids Need Hockey Leadership LEADERSHIP is an ingredient that doesn't come easily and always has to be re-earned and re-earned. Leadership is not like a cheerful disposition, natural skating ability or a ready wit. Leadership requires hard work, responsibility and a determfpation for achievement. Every activity, every sport, requires and responds to leadership. The greater the quality of leadership, the better. It could well be that with ice hockey there are even greater demands and values to effective leadership. While ice hockey is lots of fun, the greatest of sports, as is exacting. It is exacting in that hockey requires much planning and constant checking as well as solving the money problem. While the costs of hockey can be held inside a bud- get, ice hockey is faced with greater expense than most sports. Ice time and additional travel are greater for the organized team. There are always sticks, skates, goalie gear as well as protective equipment and uniforms. The cost and problems of rink rental enter into most teams' problems. The straight organizational aspects are demanding of leadership. The usual things familiar to all sports of practice time, coaching, equipment care, games and tournaments have the additional mechanical problems of snow, sleet and rain, location and availability of ice. Leadership of the team itself is an obvious need that can be aided by the coaching and players themselves. But the initiative to see that such leadership is going to come about has to be achieved. An organizational type of person, willing to put res- ponsibility and work as well as enthusiasm and desire, is what every hockey team that is going to have fun needs. This leadership has to come from former players and those active in the sport, but especially so from the fa- thers themselves, and sometimes from the mothers. We hear of all the problems caused by overzealous parents. Overzealous parents are seldom the workers, the builders. There is plenty of need for ice hockey leadership on the part of youth hockey fathers. This is the great sport their sons enjoy. The area of sound organizational aid and judgement is right down the ex- perience of many fathers. Those who have had business. experience and are employers are in the best position of all to lead. evra me nme me Those in hockey now as coaches, players, managers, recreation or school officials would do well to spend time seeking out and encouraging even more fathers of players to provide leadership for their boys' teams. N.B.--Minor Hockey Week has been organized by the Canadian 'Amateur Hockey Association to pay tribute to those engaged in providing leadership for minor hockey --and to encourage the participation of even more par- ents. This is one of the reasons the C.H.H.A. has ad- opted the slogan -- DON'T SEND -- TAKE YOUR BOY TO THE ARENA. --"U.S. Hockey" ~ Worthwhile Project To Aid This is the week the War Amps Key Tag Service launches its 1964 program to sell key tags to Canadian car owners. First batch of 3% million car key tags will go into the mails to Ontario motorists, part of a total national distribution of nine million key tags. Money raised through the distribution of the Key Tags goes primarily, toward the maintenance of the shel- tered workshop in Toronto where 40 war amps enjoy year- round employment making and shipping the key tags. Balance of the funds goes toward the benevolent work of 19 War Amputations Branches across Canada. bo owners receiving key tags from the war Amps Key Tag Service are urged to return 35 cents (60 cents for a duplicate set) to War Amps Tag Service, 140 Merton Street, Toronto 7, Ontario. .

"That last report on cigarette smoking ,the big brutal one from the U.S., has finally broken my nerve. The report says definitely that the death rate among smok- ers, as compared to non-smokers, is ten times as high from lung cancer, 60 per cent higher from coronary disease, and six times higher from pulmonary emphysema. I had no objection to passing away from a perfectly normal, respectable disease of the 20th century, like lung cancer or a coronary, but that pulmonary emphysema has me scared. It sounds nasty. I started smoking when I was about nine, in the old sand- pit in my home town. 'A group of us urchins used to gather there and puff a dry weed known as "monkey tobacco," rolled in toilet paper. By the time we were twelve we were well into "makings": tobacco and papers pinched from somebody's old man. ~My dad didn't smoke, so I was always bumming, and soon became persona non grata, as we used to say in the gang. Then I made a glorious discovery. My father had a shoe store. In those days, the shoe manufacturers put long rounded strips of a bamboo-like dried reed in ladies' shoes, to-help them keep their shape. This stuff ,when ignited, burned steadily, could be drawn through, and produced volumes of a blue, sear- ing smoke that peeled the skin .off your-tongue like acid. -- ~~ I was a social success until my old man discovered that all the toes in_his ladies' shoes were beginning to point to ° heaven. . ; In high school I worried about my wind, for track and rugby ,and smoked only a pipe. At college, I didn't smoke at all." Couldn't afford it. In the Air Force, I had the odd cig- arette, but had no problem with smoking. ED In prison camp, I took.the monkey on my back, and he's been using the spurs and lash ever since. Why? Food was scarce, but cigarettes ,thanks to the Red Cross and relatives at home, were fairly plentiful. My fellow-inmates told smoking cut the appetite. I tried it. It did. : me Since then I have been a happy deck-a-day man. The smoking scares have come and gone, and I went right on blow- ing rings. But no more. Not with that pulmonary emphysema In a way, I'm glad it's all 'over, No more hacking and horking in the ih oly 'No more of that wild Yael ing lust for a drag on the job, at the movies, in church. No more of that frantic 'scrabbling through all the suit, jacket pants, pyjamas, and overcoat pockets, looking for a butt on a Sunday morning. ? And they tell me you can be quite comfortable in o these straight-jackets, after you get used to it! he of Holy Smokes! I've gone. through half a pack while writing this column. Say, what is pulmonary emphysema, anyway ? = =Toronto Telegram News Service |] | . .
