A team sweaterâ€" the most prized possession INCO donates collection BY DAVE GERRY This is a story of a boy, who until he played hockey for Amesbury, did not have a hockey sweater he could call his own. He owned store bought sweaters but not one that any sentiment attached to it. You might very well say, ‘‘So what‘s a sweater?" but, to a boy who has played all season long for a team, that sweater means more to him than all most anything. It has been with him through good times and bad, the wins and the losses, trips and practices, in fact, every time he laced on a pair of skates for a game that sweater was Outstanding specimens of the Frohberg collection were placed on public display in the Mineral Gallery of the MARSH WORLD: A slender, longâ€"tailed, longâ€"winged hawk commonly found in open country and the vicinity of marshes.

Not all clubs are in a position to give the lads their sweaters at the end of a season but Amesbury is one that does. with him Assembled by the late Dr. M. Hans Frohberg, it is regarded by experts as the Royal Ontario Museum : Yoo drive a ANGUS SHORTT Ducks Unlimited will invariably be asked, ‘"Do we get to keep our sweaters?" To you a sweater is something you put on when it gets cool. But to a boy on a team, any team in any organized sport, his sweater is, perhaps, the most precious of anything he Amesbury‘s president, Frank Robinson, reports that the new rink is coming along well and figures that once this project is comâ€" pleted our house league hockey should expand with no trouble at all. The new facility will enable us to compete on an equal basis with anyone in the area. finest private mineral collection ‘in Canada. Its purchase by the museum was made possible by a generous grant by The International Nickel Comâ€" pany of Canada, Limited. Speaking at a small in formal _ reception _ this evening at which the exhibit was opened, Ronaid Taylor, director, operations and resident of the Canadian Nickel Company Ltd., said: "It was the wish of both Dr. and Mrs. Frohberg that the collection would some day find a permanent home in the Royal Ontario Museum. International Nickel is pleased to have been able to help achieve Many mineral samples already in the ROM collections were donated by Dr. Frohberg. Nor is this the first time that the museum has benefited from the generosity of INCO. Several years ago the company gave $150,000 to reconstruct the Mineral Gallery. The collection comprises some 3,500 specimens from many parts of the world, and includes many â€" unique display minerals, large suites of gold and silver and some priceless reference material. Dr. Frohberg, who came to Canada in 1934, was for 30 years one of the country‘s foremost mining _ conâ€" sultants. In this capacity he travelled the world exâ€" tensively and was thus in a most enviable position to acquire specimens in remote areas. x_jgmn|nunumuuunu'Sm"e a Mile‘»=uwinmmimm = WITH = lfilmlmmmummummlmmmnmmmumummmlmlmmlfi.

Toronto Maple Leaf Goalie Jacques Plante poses with Earl L. Veitch, vice president of the Yorkâ€"Toronto TB and RD Association and Chairman of the 45th Christmas Seal We did not merely modify last year‘s Blizzard, we started from scratch and created an entirely new racing machine," reports Conrad Bernier, director of Bombardier‘s _ competition centre at Valcourt, Que. The new Blizzard has already been fully tested on crossâ€"country circuits and on oval tracks and its perâ€" formance, vastly improved over last year, is expected to score many points for qualified Skiâ€"Doo drivers from December to March. It will also play an imâ€" portant role in the racing incentive program recently announced by the Skiâ€"Doo division of Bombardier. The program makes more than $150,000 available to Skiâ€"Doo snowmobile drivers who make it into the first three positions at 29 major events in Canada and the Ux\md States. Bernier describes some of the principal features of the 1972 Blizzard as follows: ‘"‘This year the engine has been placed low in front for better handling in the corâ€" ners because of more weight on the skis. ‘"Engine options this year include three bangers on the 292 and 340cc machines. The 400cc and 440cc twins boast a new rotary valve system â€" the first in the snowmobile industry, and the triple 650 and 797¢cc machines are lighter, stronger than last year, and are capable of Brand churning out over 85 and 100hp respectively. ‘"‘The pulleys are all aluminum this year, lighter, for quicker starts. The drive pulley is freer running with improved sliding action so it takes less pressure to engage. ‘"‘The triple link chain is now housed in a new dieâ€"cast aluminum chain case. A greater choice of gear ratios is provided for by the new slide sprocket tensioner. Tension adjustment can be accomplished from outside, which eliminates opening of the chain case. ‘‘The 1972 front drive axle shaft is solid as opposed to last year‘s hollow one.
