A substantlal virig of Protestaht Church ieädersare Jalso voicing oppositiona • The recent Sovlet propbsal has brought the issue of reunification to the fore. Many Germans — and not only Social Democrats — believe that tearmament of the Bonn republic wiU mean the splittfhg of Germany Into easterh and western parts for good. This is the main reason for opposition to remilitarization and of coiuse the attitude of the youth to enlistment indicates that they do not cherish the idea of having tö fight In anpther war for foreign interests, when at present there is every indication that even the issue of peacefui reunification of Germany can be solved through negotiations, • ; ^ jChange relays and quite a few spectators were surprised when Jehu's young ElnoLadonlähti was the.first man to come Into yiew leading the pack by' a scanf few yärds.

Again the bench athletes were: busy- specu-lating:' could Oiva, without tob much, training behind hIm. hold the härd pace against Rastas and Puiras. (However, wheri they came in sight from their five kllometer, lap, Oiva had iriaintained the lead by a stride or two ahead pf Rastas. Don Puiras, not being able to keep up to the fast pace of Ranta and Rastas had dropped behind. - Now on the last f ive kllometer läp .the competition was between anchor men jiäiu's Antti Ranta and Voima's Leo Raaska for possession of the Cooper Cliff Däiry Trophy. The fact that the trophy wbuld go out bf circulatiori if Jehu.succeeded iri winning it this year made the competition that much keener. But Raaska's hard pace was too muchfor Ranta andRaaika; with a burst of speed on n ' long , cllmb. passed.him and^cbhtihued tplengthen his lead to the finish Une,: thus wln-nlhg Jehu's team by about a miriute and Speed's team • ahchbred by Karl Palomäki by about four minutes.

By GEORGE B.4BR Hafve ybu bften ' wondered, as haire, why there are^ rip ina^^^orts • ctt^m^aJti^^ ' vement tbday? This was not ahvays the case. In pre-war days sport was a going" concem in the labor mo- . vement. In fact it was just 15 years ago, the. year the Canadian Tribime began its career, that the Canadian Amateur Sports .Federation was dis-splved. But lefs go |)ack to the be-ginnlng . . . Ahribst 50 years aigo, long before aoybrie äibught in terms of a national" sports. mbvement, the first prögresslve sport» group was organi-zed In Canada. -This was the Yritys club of Toronto, establidied by the new iPinniäih immigrants wlib had brou^t their fine spqrts iieritage wlth them. Speclalizing in gymnastics and track and ifield this group soön thrlved and attracted the young people of the Finnish community. As the Finnish community in Canada gTew, bther sports clubs were set up and soon competition betweeri the centres • became a r ^ l a , r featiffe. By the mind-twenties, floiurislhing sports groiips ihad.been established i n Port Arthur, Sudbury,' Tinuriins and 'Montreal, a? well as i n Toronto. It .was.only riatiu-al that the varlous clubs. wbuld get together iri an orga-nization •- so that meets '•• and tour-riarncnts could be 'held on ä regr uiar! basis. This led to the estab-lishment, in 1925, by the iPinnisih people of Canada, of the Canadian VVorkers Sports League.. During this period other progres-sive sports groups were springing up ali over the country ärid In 1929 the idea for a national sports aapvement was first; ^alsed by the Young Com-munist l>eague —• and In the Depression Year of 1930, i<he Workers Sports Association was. founded. : This remarkable orgariizatlon attracted sports clubs from Montreal to Vancouver. By 1936 almost 40 groups belonged to-the WSA. Besides the Finnish' groups of the: CWSL, clubs v/ere' organized In Hamilton, Montreal, Toronto. Wirinipeg, Calgary and British Columbia. The "VVIn-nipeg club bf the "VVSA had a m6m-börähip of over 200; and produced one of the top tumbling teains In the country..: In.,.-Älberta clubs were /es-tabli^ ed In the minlng communities, whlle in the larger citles, the varlous mass organizatipns affUIated. In tfie vmld-thlrtles, In Une wlth Its growIng Canadian character, the Association'siiame was changed io the Canadian Amafetir Sports Pe-daration. The Federation flourished iall through the d^ressloh days and at its peak had a membersh^ of more than 3.000, a; itruly, wonderful acbie-vemoit. One of tjtie many personis who gave freeiy of their time and worked hard to establlidi and maln-taln this movement was the .iWSA's national secretary, Jim Turner. — from whom much of this Information came during an ihtervi(ew last wieek. •During our chat on the role of sports "In the prbgresslve, movement I discovered (vith- some difflcutly) that Jim had been'a i<9 athlete him-self. Desplte his tnodesty I mahaged to pty/Xrom him 4he adriiiasion.. that he had "spedalized" In hurdlies, the throws and the decathlon. From other s o u n d i found out ithat he had npfi only Q)eciaU2sed In these events but had staned i n Xlaeta as welL i. J im Turner has sbme strong opi-nlons iabout the sports. needs of our young people «today. (WIthbut'. dls-counting the >value of the pld Work-ers Sports Association, Jim feels we have yet to solve the probiem of team sports iri the progresslvc movement. In the past we havb terided to concentrate too much on proäucing a "Star". team to enter the regular leagues. In niost cases the ieam didn't have much success, and^ the main sports body' suffered ' from lack of attentlon. ' , UnJess we organlze spcnis airiong our young x>ebple In such a fashion as to build and extend a inass base, we wlll not be able either to hold them or to attract others. . Another»polpt about whlch J im Turner expressed strong sentiments was the character of such an organl-zation. x\li'% not enough to Just give, our young folk a cbance to participate in sports witbeäch bther. Ör Just to teach them' tiie ''goMen rule" öj^ corn-pbtitiye sport <whloh has been almbst forgotten In NorU» Amerloi today). To.

ScoUand, The gath^ring. we are advised. Is not of clans; but iäther .of faris bf the immortal Scotttsb batd. Rabbie Bum.^. The folk have come from ali over the World. Japan. India, Russiä,' ttc. for an 8-day festival to honor the name and writtog of Bunis, and the wlnd-up comes on January 2Sth, Burns* birthday: i ; ,, An interestlng «Idelight .of; the new8 Story Is that Burns' works have been translated toto many, lahguages. One of the;Russtans presentat the gather^ fng,,todeed. has translated much of Burns' poetry toto the Russian lan-guage.^ ,^ . . ' This fact led one of our frierids to enqulre. why Burns had never, been translated into the 'Englisb.' But such questibns, most Scots will agree, just shows that there i8n't the appreclatlpn of the "true English" that there ought to be. For where would one f tod more preclse "English" than "FaUr f a' ye'er horiest sohsie face" for instärice., The gathertog wind-up wlll feature Haggls and Scotch "VVhlskey. And althb' we'll gi' ye the potot that mtmy foUc of many tongucä ho^ve a fondness for Burns and Scotch V^hlskey, the Haggis is a sheep's stomach of another color. « • • • We're:^e, klnd of guy purself whb can take the Haggls. or leave it aloifc. One might say that we had an attitude of lettlng t sleeping Haggls He, But, of course. this id Just one stomach's opinion.' • ' ' Yet when you considcr the Haggis we're often incltoed to the optolon that nlany jScots whb claim to ''IbVe" It are merely victims of tbk "Address to tt Haggls". wrltten by Burns, rathcr than by the, Haggis itsel*. Just to case anyone mlght have for-gotten what the Haggis is here it is: A Haggis, says the Westminster English Dlctlonary, "l8.a}dish m out of the pluck of a sheep or lamb, chopped with herbs, suet, oätmeal, etc., seasoned with leeks and splces and boUed to the maw." Pluck, Inci-dentally. Is whot some folks call gib-lets. Etc. covers a lot of terrltory and a Haggls without "etc." in it is qulte a tasteless dish. ' WARNlNO: "BoUed, In. the maw" merely means boiled \n the Itotog of a sheep's stomacl^, Do h o i put your mother to the Hoggisl 80 there yöu. are. ,Thl8 is .your Haggis t We Imaglne that at the Ayr gathei- Ing the Haggls •.wIW be "ijlpcd In." This. incidentally, does not mean a la ali of the USA oil, gas, etc. whlch Yankee and-Canadian blgshots want more and more pf plpied into Canada. Nor dbWe want any; members ot Page Hersey Tubes to get the impression that the ceremony surrounding the Haggis wili mean any orders from Scots for plpe. The expresslbn simply iropiies Ihat a piper — one with bag-plpes, that Is — marches ahead of the Haggls and plays "Baa, Baa. btack sheep i8ren't ye a dummy; we not bnly got ali your wopl, we also got your tummy."
