"Cry any^«ray ypu vant," said Tohnnny, "this is my way". ment-sponsored, country-wide sports program, the most extensive in the English-speaking World and. a Iceen, competitive urge to excel. Gordon Young, a native of Guelph. Ontario, is one of the key men behind this success story. Young has been physical education director for New South ;Wales.since 1038. Prior'to going to Ausbalia he,was a YMCAinstructor-at London. Ontario. In New South Wales he fe in charge of the sports 3ctii«ties of 250.000 children, age 12 and over. •There is nothing- complicated about our System," he told report-ers. "It is the same throughout Australia. The key is that evety primary teacher must take a two-year physical education course. "As a result every teacher has a background of sports knowledge. Every school in the country devotes one aftemoon a week exclusively to sports and every school child is taught the fundämentäis of ali sports." Fundamentals are put into prac-tice on sports aftemoons, and bet-ter- than-average athletes compete with other Schools every week in their school life; as part of the planned program. ' "Our idea," Young said, "is to avoid stupid searching^ forpotential cbampions. If you have thousands ihterested it's only natural youll get champions. -Youngsters of 12 are the real pofentia| and they should show World dasserefinish-ing high schooL'* Truth of Young's flssertion is that 17-year-old Murray Bosewon three gold m^lals in swimmin& IT-year-old Betty Cuthbert woii three gold medals in sprints and teen^rs Lor-raine Crapp and Dawn Fraser splashed their way to several worW records. There are no professional coacbes in Australia and mostnf the Aussie athleteis had so international competitive experience> prior' to the Games. Bfeforc the govenuncnt took over supervision of spQrtff there'wasa't one dnder track in.tbe countrr. Nffor there are e^bt. up in the enthusiasm of big business speeches and references to "our company," "our way of life," and the like. Actually, tho', we are not a shareholder or anything of that natiu-e in the company. But we do have considerable in-terest in the company. And we imagine that this interest is re-flected somewhere in the big pile of profits' which "our" company has just declared. Just to beat a dead "ours" a little more; one of the wierd aspects about big business propaganda is that altho' it 'is "but" company, the profits never do accumulate to us. But as we started to say, news of the: prosperity of ."our company" is a matter.of personal interest to us. as well as a matter of principle. * * • An intriguing side to the profit-able profitability of companies is the way this is hailed as something which is in the "national •good.*^ Our mortgage company sees it^ profitSias. "an:evidence o£ the well-being of the national and an indi-cation of a rising economy." As one payer of mortgages — or mortgagee as we say in the trade — we don't view the matter in that way at ali, Now mind you we're only ex-pressing the views of one "home-owner", if you'll excuse the term we use on official documents, but it seems to us that super profits of mortgage companies only indicate that they're gouging the well exhorbitant rates —- out of the citi-zens they're lien-ing on. • * * . We wrote a letter to "our" company and suggested politely that maybe it would be in "our mutual-interest" to lower the rate of in^ terest. We pointed to the higber- 'than-ever profits and asserted that "our company could afford to do this." Our President hasn't' replied yet and actually we don't think' he'll do much about our suggestion. Altho' "our company" welcom'es sugges-. tions. iBut over the years we'venoticed that suggestions like~1owering interest rates or' prices vere never considered to be ^ "constructive" ones. Somehow we feel that one. day interests of ali of us to ralse* the interest." , ' * • * This typeof reply. wouId, of course, be in keeping with'the general business theory that was put so aptly by the head of General Motors when he said, ;"what*s gobd for the country is good for'General Motors; and what's good for General Motors is good, for the coän-try." GM ended up last year making over a billion doUars profit; "but thousands.of GM workers ended up the year walking the streets uhem-ployed. And we imagine that eoin-cident with the lay-off, GM /öfficials weretellingBoards of Trade and' Chambers of Commerce thät "this was a banner year for ali of us in 'our' organization." And SO it goes. "Our". companies keep on piling up the profits. And as they pile it up they stack an even higher pile of propaganda to try to cohvince us that somehow or other ali'of' iis share in this great rasb;pf.pI'o!itöer-ing.'

We can imagine a sequence where the March Hare, the Mad Hatter and Alice "share" a dinner. The Mad Hatter, with ali of the food on his plate, 'opines "Sharing our dinner like this certainly shows • what a wonderfui system we have." The March Hare and Alice ohjeet. "This isn't sharing,'^ they say, "you.have ali the food." "Why, whatever is wrong with that?" asks the Mad Hatter. "After ali you do have plates don't you?"

The-winbing entry consists of a flQwer and- a dove depicting youth's love for peäce, and the flags of different countries as the petals of the flow^^ er. embody the friendshlp of ali nations. The winning design was sent in by' Alexander Lindberg. »Anyone <who supports the Festival preparations is permitted to wear the badge. Many committees have been set iip and great intiative is being shown. On the 6th of November in Kotka, a youth'celebration wai!5 held in honour of the' VI Festival. This ' .was the beginning of the prepara tions in this district whichbordera the Soviet U/lion. The evening was edtirely devoted to the idea of Festivals, with a film on the Bucha-rest Festival and other interesting items on the prdgram. One of the prizes awarded during the evening was a free trip to Moscow. This gathering has inspired the Kymenlaakso youth to do ali, they can for the Festival. The one thing which insplres them ali is the de-sire to be part of the Finnish delegation. A fund has been established in Lahti to help pay the transport expenses of their delegates to the Festival; This city, which is the youngest city of Finland, has^a very representative committee in? duding members of trade unions and delegates 'from the biggest metal-working enterprise; In No-vemberv a three-day seminar wps h^ld to diäcuss the PesUval. ty spöcial lottery was held to raise funds for the preparations and for the Festival^ s Not ali the people from this city will beable to attend the Festival biit certainly the^ will know wbat Ihfey are missing. Very soon - a hU^e Festival poster will be put Ui«a**th6 dentrfe* bf the c i t y . ' ' ^ Of Special significance to young Finns is the fact that this VI Festival will take place in the capital city of Finland's neighbouriiig; country. In ali parts of the country the youth are studying the Russian laniguage so that they will be able to ^Ik with the Soviet youth wiih' out' 'interpreters. In Pori a youth choir there has established a lan guage Circle, as has also been started in Kovaniemi and in Tam pere.. To encourage the studying of the language. the national Festival Committee has initiated a big competition. The National Festival Committee has dedded to issue a paper on (he Festival. A whole page of this paper will be given to correspond ence between Soviet and Finnish youth. Finland, a small country, will send about 2,000 to the Festival. From the f irst reports we can be sure that these youth will really be the best rcpresentatives of ali that is good in Finland. This certainly speaks well for the future.

adjudication, whidi in the past years have not been

lerhaps this problem will be solved if a completely impartial
ljudicator can be fourtd. •
• But even so, thedecisions of the adjudicator wrll ahvays _
criticizeii from one quarter or another, simply because of -
f f act that different people intezpret plays and performan-in
a different way. I t is not as easy as deciding who is the

However, despite the mutterings'tiiat have persisted
illowing the announcements of the adjudicator's dÄisions^
criticisms have soon been forgotten and competitörs have

And that is a very healthy attitude, because after ali, aU
umans will make errors and Ihe adjudicators have a very

ment-sponsored, country-wide sports
program, the most extensive in the
English-speaking World and. a Iceen,
competitive urge to excel.
Gordon Young, a native of
Guelph. Ontario, is one of the key
men behind this success story.
Young has been physical education
director for New South ;Wales.since
1038. Prior'to going to Ausbalia
he,was a YMCAinstructor-at London.
Ontario.
In New South Wales he fe in
charge of the sports 3ctii«ties of
250.000 children, age 12 and over.
•There is nothing- complicated
about our System," he told report-ers.
"It is the same throughout
Australia. The key is that evety
primary teacher must take a two-year
physical education course.
"As a result every teacher has
a background of sports knowledge.
Every school in the country devotes
one aftemoon a week exclusively
to sports and every school child is
taught the fundämentäis of ali
sports."
Fundamentals are put into prac-tice
on sports aftemoons, and bet-ter-
than-average athletes compete
with other Schools every week in
their school life; as part of the
planned program.
' "Our idea," Young said, "is to
avoid stupid searching^ forpotential
cbampions. If you have thousands
ihterested it's only natural youll
get champions. -Youngsters of 12
are the real pofentia| and they
should show World dasserefinish-ing

Truth of Young's flssertion is that
17-year-old Murray Bosewon three

Betty Cuthbert woii three gold
medals in sprints and teen^rs Lor-raine
Crapp and Dawn Fraser

up in the enthusiasm of big business
speeches and references to
"our company," "our way of life,"
and the like. Actually, tho', we are
not a shareholder or anything of
that natiu-e in the company.
But we do have considerable in-terest
in the company. And we
imagine that this interest is re-flected
somewhere in the big pile
of profits' which "our" company has
just declared.
Just to beat a dead "ours" a little
more; one of the wierd aspects
about big business propaganda is
that altho' it 'is "but" company,
the profits never do accumulate to
us.
But as we started to say, news of
the: prosperity of ."our company"
is a matter.of personal interest to
us. as well as a matter of principle.
* * •
An intriguing side to the profit-able
profitability of companies is
the way this is hailed as something
which is in the "national •good.*^
Our mortgage company sees it^
profitSias. "an:evidence o£ the well-being
of the national and an indi-cation
of a rising economy."
As one payer of mortgages — or
mortgagee as we say in the trade
— we don't view the matter in that
way at ali,
Now mind you we're only ex-pressing
the views of one "home-owner",
if you'll excuse the term
we use on official documents, but
it seems to us that super profits of
mortgage companies only indicate
that they're gouging the well
exhorbitant rates —- out of the citi-zens
they're lien-ing on.
• * *
. We wrote a letter to "our" company
and suggested politely that
maybe it would be in "our mutual-interest"
to lower the rate of in^
terest. We pointed to the higber-
'than-ever profits and asserted that
"our company could afford to do
this."
Our President hasn't' replied yet
and actually we don't think' he'll do
much about our suggestion. Altho'
"our company" welcom'es sugges-.
tions.
iBut over the years we'venoticed
that suggestions like~1owering interest
rates or' prices vere never
considered to be ^ "constructive"
ones.
Somehow we feel that one. day

This typeof reply. wouId, of
course, be in keeping with'the general
business theory that was put
so aptly by the head of General
Motors when he said, ;"what*s gobd
for the country is good for'General
Motors; and what's good for General
Motors is good, for the coän-try."
GM ended up last year making
over a billion doUars profit; "but
thousands.of GM workers ended up
the year walking the streets uhem-ployed.
And we imagine that eoin-cident
with the lay-off, GM /öfficials
weretellingBoards of Trade and'
Chambers of Commerce thät "this
was a banner year for ali of us in
'our' organization."
And SO it goes.
"Our". companies keep on piling
up the profits. And as they pile
it up they stack an even higher pile
of propaganda to try to cohvince us
that somehow or other ali'of' iis
share in this great rasb;pf.pI'o!itöer-ing.'
