SISU
Vancouver, B. C. •— Before maktog
a few personai observations about the
"SIau" F.C.y.C. flrsfc amtual meetlng,
held on January 31st, I wbuld make
a serious admonition to the 19S0,
executive of the club.
: 'When conslderingvany matter,- ali
factors must be taken into account.
For instance the announcements and
Invitatlons for the annual meetlng
made no mention of the fact-that a
'new automatic oilrheating System 'R^as
due to go into; :pperation at the Clln4
ton HaJl a few days prior tO/the meet­lng.
If a l i concemed h a d been fully
aware of this a much better tumout
xould have. been expected;
Just as an explanation to :out-of-town
readers, I should teli you that
OS bad luck would have it the meet­lng
came i n the midst of one of V a n -
couver's seve/est cold spells. The
mercury plunged to 20 degrees above
zcro that particular ntght; and there
wcre reports of 8now i n certaln sec-tions
of the city. However, the latter-can
be dlscounted as the reports
came from unreliable sources,
,: ' Although no of f icial records -i- are
available for comparison, this "Sisu'^
meetbig undoubtedly set a ' n ew r e -
cord hl Finnish-Canadlan circles;; A
Check of twO'synchronlzed watohe«,
which were later tested; against Van-^
cpuver^s nine o'clock gun, Bhowed
that Ihe^^eetlng wa5 only one-half
hour late In startlng. We dare any­one
to come fonvard wlth a better
re&ult!
T h i s annual meetlng: proved to be
much more interesting than a l i pre*
vious general meet ings put together.
The diJBCussIon was the Uvellest I can
remember sInce Hector vwas- a , pup..
A good share of the credIt for this
must go to our newest memb^, who
only took out his. card a couple days
prior;to the meetlng.: Begardless^ol
this, he didn't hesltate to ei>ar Ttrlih
the veterans. I n most of the' Votlni^^
he came;puti;$econd best, but If be
doesni . l e t ' that disbearten him. I
predict i(he''future'^wlll p r o v e h l m ^
most valuaAle .asset.''
The fifflfatäirof tbe ineetlng'was
of sweat and tears.
