One Week To Go!
We're a bit crowded this time, because this issue is de-v
G t e d to the Aimual Sports Festival of the F C A S F and carries
a large amount of greetings and advertisements. In this issue
you will also find the complete program for the weekend in-cluding
the track and field events which will be held at the
Alerts Field in Lockerby. It might be a good idea to clip the
program and bring it along with you when you come to
Sudbury, because no program booklet has been printed this
year.
The Liittojuhla Gorhmittee has "informedUs that letters
häve, been sent. out; to ali clubs asking them• to send in their
enti-ies b y J u l y 31. Along with the entries there should be
an indication of how many girls and boys will require bijlets
for the weekend. It is urgent that clubs respond to -these
requests without delay so that the work of the conunittee will
)e greatly fäcilitated-
In another Week we will ali be meeting agäin. The Sports
'estiväl has taken on the character of a youth festival and
of course nobody wiil dare stay away if it is physically poss-ible
to get to Sudbury for that particular weekend. Even
hose who will not be participating will f ind it ari enjoyable
weelcend. And of course for the athletes it is a special week-end,
the only sports meet in the year when they have an
öpportunity to try themselves against the best athletes in
the Federation. . ^ ' ,
They say winning a championship at the Liittojuhlas gives
a person a great deal of satisfaction and we believe i t After
[ali it does take considerable training to get into shape to win
against stiff competition and a gold medal at the Liittojuhlas
comparable to a gold medal at^Melbournelater this year.
Despite this satisfaction of winning, we feel that the most
portant thing about Liittojuhlas is the actual participation.
e know of a whole host of athletes who have participated
in the Liittojuhlas and other sports mee^ year after year and
ho at the^ best might take a third place medal, but who
evertheless^ get a great deal of satisfaction from the partici-ation
alone. This is a very good attitude in amateur sports,
ause after ali everybodycannot win and there must be
ore losers in an event than winners. ' ;
The prime purpose of amateur sports is to raise the
ihysical condition of the population and a great deal cän' be
[done through sports. And it is obvious to ali that a well
[co-ordinated body is a healthy body.
But of course a body cannot stay healthy on sports alone.
wholesome diet must be prbvided,.proper housing-and
jmany other factors have a"role to play in the health of the
nation. That is one of the reasons why the FGASF has always
[been sympathetic to labor unions and other organizations,
hich have done SO much to raise the economic conditions of
|the peöple, to make life more secure. It is evident that the
ental state is also a gröatiactor in maintaining good health,
iand that is why the Sports Federation has gone on record for
uch things as a national health pian and Security.
The Sports 'Federation has also expressed itself as being
gainst wars and for a peaceful world in which sports can
lourish as can also the ingenuity of man;for a better world.
The policies of the Sports Federation will be under dis-sion
on Monday, August 6, 'when the annual convention of
e Federation vvillconvene. This is the main policymaking
ody of the Federation and ali important decisions must be
ade at the convention. Numerous clubs have made propo-als
to the convention and Jheseproposals have undoubtedly
een discussed by ali the clubs.
The most controversial question to be taken up by the
lonvention is the proposal by Yritys that the music and sports
estivals be combined into one big annual festival of Finnish-anadians.
This proposal has it's pros and cons and it is diffi-ult
to ascertain the affects a combined festival will have.
,However, we areof theopinion^that an experiment^ould
e made with a combined festival in Port Arthur next year to
ee what it will. be like. Obviously the majority of the people
re for such a combined festival and it is time that an experi-ent
wasconducted. Ifit should prove fruitless, then we can
;o back to the öld system of holding separate festivals and no
larm will be done.
Some discussion will also be devoted'to the examination
f the English section of our paper in an effort to rectify the
resent weaknesses.
Ali clubs eleet ^delegates to the convention but allmem^
rs can sit iri on the deliberations and will be giyen an
'Pportunity to air their views, so we would suggest that the
ounger generatipn sit in and see how democracy functions
n the Federation. The meeting is carried on in both lan-uages,
SO dön't be afraid tb speak up, otherwise nobody will
ow what you are thinking about.
So, Sudbury has the welcome mat out and we hope you
ome to the Liittojuhlas and have a real enjoyable time.

Wfth the Cows
Dear-Setä,
And ali the readers and writers
of this page. I thought I would
wrlte because I didn't have anything
else to do. : My brother and mother
went to get a load of hay and I
had to stay home to look after the
cows. Do I ever Iiate looking after
them.
On July 21st we might go to a

We töok the Arnold Mänty tro-phy
in to be repaired (at the do-nor*

guaranteed that it nrould be back in

this beautifultrophyrestored to a l i

that we've gone to ali the trouble
of having this trophy shined up, we
wantto let everyone know that we

Sisu Woul(l Also
Like To Participale
In Liittojuhlas
Vancouver. — Tn past weeks
while reading. Club News reports on
Liittoj uhla preparations one would
frequehtly get;the yearning to pack
up and head for Sudbury.
Many of us out here in the West
have had that feeling, r m sure.^
The Sisu Folk Dancers, for, instance,
would be fhrilled to meet other
Finnish-Canadiän giroapd'pariicipä-ting
in the Liittoj uhla Concert. The
dancers have in their short life
span made many appearances but
of course the Liittojuhlas r— that
would really besomething. 1^::
• And höw about the track and field
people who are working out twice a
week in preparation for a meet on
August 19th at the Finnish Organi-zation
Picnic. It was this same
group which won: some glory for
the Vancouver Finnish Cömmunity
by capturing enough points at the'
Canada Day Youth- Sports Meet to
tie for first place. Their most note-worthy
achievement of the day was
winning the volley ball tournament.
The Canada Day meet and other
meets that Sisu willbe participating
in during the summer are good and
lots of fun —: but participating in
the Liittojuhlas would be iomething
else entirely. It;would really be
somelhing to be able to meet Yri­tys
or Isku on the volley bäll court
or to be able to run against top
Finnish-Canadian athletes from ali
over Ontario. Win or lose, that
would really be something..
But this year it must remain as
a happy thought. The best that we
can do at this time is to wish ali
Liittojuhla participants the best of
luck in a very big and successful
affair.
.We from the West Coast will be
with you only in spirit for the time
being. Perbaps in the future our
hopes can be realized. — HL

but j u s t as' she was entering the

most of the kernels'fell out. The
ones t h a t fell,out were dirty and
useless, so we:.didn'l have much
pop corn; The boys grabbedit ali
anyway, SO the girls only got a
little bit. Good-bye for now. I am

bottom. both front and back, you'll
be ashamed ,to admit you belong
to the same dub!' Do you think
you can get away with razzing the
women about what they are going
to do witb their lace? Befbreliit^

1mofftwhere the lace willbe.'Then
we*II have our revenge.
Now that the men folk have been

SedSn postilaatikosta. 15>iyi koko
joukko kirjeitä Tarmolan lastenlei
ririläisilta, joista Setli on erittSin
kiitollinen. Siis kiitos klrjeistSnne
Shirley; Maila, Minerva. Carol ja
Marja. Näiden leiriläisten kirjei­den
lisäksi saapui myös kirje John»
nylta. josta Setä kiittäS. Mary An­nelta
oli myös saapunut postikortti,
missä hän pyytää anteeksi kun ei
ollut tilaisuudessa kirjoittamaan täl­lä
kertaa. Mary Anne kuitenkin
kertoo kirjoittavan ensi viikolisi. jo­ten
anna tulla vaan ja kiitos kortis-
Uisi.
Caroltn kirjeestä päättäen siellä
Tarmolassa syödään ja maataan.ia
kun siihen väsytään, niin mennään
nukkumaan. Koettakaapa . lapset
puhua leirin johtajalle, että Setäkin
pääsisi pariksi viikkoa sinne leiril­le,
jos siellä saa vapaasti maata ja
syödä. Kyllä Setä kerran viikossa
lattiankin lakasee, jos muuta ei tar^
vitse tehdä. Mutta onhan siellä
varmaan .paljon muutakin tekemis­iä
ja leikkiähän Setä vain puhuu.
Niin muistakaa kirjoittaa vielä ai­nakin
kerran ennenkuin leiri päät­tyy
ja siiten leirin päättymisen jäl­keen
muistakaa paiskata Setää aina
silloin tällöin kirjeellä. Setä tykkäi­si
saada kaikkien, kirjeenvaihtajien
kotiosoitteet tänne arkistoonsa, JO;'
ten ensi kerralla liittäkää mukaan
koUosoitteennc.
Setä sattui tapaamaan Johnnyn
siellä häätilalsuudcssa, josta hän
kirjeessään mainitsee ja Setä olir
kin mielissään kun pääsi Johnnyyn
tutustumaan. Setä onkin pitkän
aikaa tuntenut hänen vanhempansa^
Tällä viikolla Sedällä oli myös ti­laisuus;
