If the bank's charter is approved, Gordie will own the bank, outright. Not bad for a young Saskatchewan. boy who was a helper's mate on a farm in his early teens.

A Soviet track and field team recently per ~-formed in the U.S. and most of the youngsters went out and bought themselves one or two pairs of blue jeans. They explained that blue jeans are quite popular .in the Soviet Union but are hard to acquire. A pair of jeans in Russia costs $200.

When the bases are loaded and walk means a run, you can bet that Paul Santrey is the choice to pinch-hit .... Attention golfers!
