mmm-mnmu.-duo.w:mua.w mb&rwwnmm«nmm,wm“bm f a.m. to 6: p.m. That was a mistake. It actually made me feel quite old. Maimly because it showed me that all those carâ€" toon characters I used to watch on Saturday mornings are just memories, long gone. No more Mighty Mouse coming to the rescue, or Casper the friendly ghost helping his newâ€"found friends. Nowadays it seems that Rocket Robin Hood, Scoobie Doo, and Big Foot and Wildboy do all the rescuing. It‘s a shame, cause I think kids today are really missâ€" ing something by not seeing those oldies. Anyways, on with the column. While watching the programs, those gawdâ€"awful commercials really started annoying me. I‘ll bet those toy manufacturers pay top buck so they can fill our kids‘minds with numerous ways they can spend our money. â€" Not too bad you say? I guess it‘s not. We‘ve got to keep the economy movâ€" ing. Sure. * Slime is a sticky, messy, slimy substance. Slime worms are just that plastic worms in slime. And Slime Monster has to be the grossest thing to date (as far as any kind of toy goes). Slime Monster is a game (acâ€" cording to the commercial) in which players must make their way around a board, similar to the old steeple chase game. However, in the middle of the board stands the slime monster with its mouth wide But why does it have to be with "toys‘‘ such as Slime Slime Worms, and Slime Monster. These really have to be one of the most disgusting series of playthings ever invented. I usually don‘t watch TV on Saturday mornings I‘m too busy sleeping) but last weekend I awoke early and couldn‘t get back to sleep. So, I put the television on. Why mention Bielak, grade 10 and not McDougâ€" all, grade 10 (Waterloo citizen)? "Waterloo started the game slowly could have read KCI started the game quicklyâ€"â€"â€"â€". The paragraph on the various temperatures of 102, 101 and a couple of 100‘s read like my golf scores. By the way who had the thermometer at court side? The team looked healthy to me when they came into school at 2:00 p.m. looking for a dressing room. The paragraph on Coach "Z" ready to default was touching_, but you know better, don‘t you? Nowhere did I read that the ankle injury to Art Hieir (Waterloo native) in the third quarter hurt KCI who had cut the lead to two points "KCI began to press â€"â€"â€" after both Nemesvari and Wagner fouled out‘‘. Why mention that and not that McDougall had fouled out for KCI Thanks for the last paragraph. "In the second quarter however WCI sagged W[x_y'? l_kcauserm’aybe KCI played better‘ You wrote "the KCI Raiders felt sick at game‘s end"‘. Far from it, the mood of most was that it was a tremendous game with no excuses â€" the better team won. Now reading the article I do feel sick and cheated that we didn‘t know all the ‘"intrigue"‘. I felt that most of the article in the Feb. 22nd Waterloo Chronicle of the WCIâ€"KCI game was slantâ€" ed towards the city of Waterloo readers (of which I am one) and made it "small town". Did you check the physical ailments of the KCI team prior to or after the game? Foot injury, colds, flue, twisted ankle and one boy, Urosovic on mediâ€" cation would do for starters.

Funds are also made available for research into the many problems affecting the respiratory system. We can‘t belittle the power of the press and you have that power. I‘m in favour of accurate coverâ€" age for high school sports. This area is fortunate. However, coaches‘ quotes and added ‘‘inside dope" brings undue pressure on coaches and players. We are not professionals in sports. One of the highlights of the series was the improvâ€" ed conduct of the fans. To the Editor : In common with many health and welfare agenâ€" cies, the successful completion of various projects would not be possible without the volunteer work of many communityâ€"minded citizens. The thousands of hours of volunteer work provided by medical. paraâ€"medical and lay persons is much appreciated Remember KCI is really Kitchener Waterloo C & V S with many teachers and students Waterloo citizens and readers. ~ Bob Hannah. P.S. For the last two years who has been the no. 1 fan at the C.W.O0.S.S.A. tournament outside of WCI, cheering and dying for the Vikings? The 1977 Christmas Seal Campaign has just been completed. The people of the Region of Waterloo contributed $85,268.92 to support the work of the Waterloo Regional Lung Association. This is an increase of 2.1% over 1976. open. And guess what‘s coming out of the monster‘s mouth? That‘s right, slime. A continuous stream of slime comes out and onto your *‘men‘"‘ if you get stuck in the vicinity. Thank goodness for the winner, though. He gets to ‘‘kill"" the slime monster in one way or another. Ah, the good old days. Days when we played games like red light, green light, Simon says, or monoply. We sure didn‘t need slime to keep us happy. I‘m all for progress, which brings with it change, &?fi ..‘P:“ F‘:"-'c'r\: * vis HBREID .c J’-%P;: Yours in sports, but only if it doesn‘t offend me as much as this partiâ€" cular thlm s & s Oh, to be a sports editor. Yep, you heard right. I‘m sitting here lamenting about what it would be like to be a sports editor. You always hear Ricky (Campbell, our sports editor) complaining about how tired he is and how he should be attending three games at the same time, etc. Believe me folks, it‘s not all a bed of roses. There is the occassional thorn. You know, like having to attend those dull and boring affairs after some games, and having to sit through all that loud chatter, all the while trying to write down the odd quote between beers. It‘s a rough life. That brings to mind a problem we occassionally run into (especially in sports). Space. Sometimes we run a little short of space, and unfortunately, sports has to suffer along with news. The bad part about it is that much sports is contributed by private individuals, and it makes Ricky (and myself) feel bad having to leave it out. Sorry everyone, but I hope you understand. Cause Ricky sure doesn‘t â€" You know., All those long hours, working and slaving away to bring the latest in sports news to the eager public. Right, Ricky? But just think of it. You get to go to all those sporting events (games and dinners) for free. And you get paid well for it to boot. And all you have to do is attend the event, do a bit of writing, and collect your pay. Fanâ€" tastic‘! What a way to go. Sorry Ricky, I guess I‘m selling you a bit short, I knowt how hard your job really is. Also, through your newspaper, I would like to thank the citizens of Waterloo for their interest and continued support. Yours Truly, (Mrs.) Rena Sproat, e Chairman, Christmas Seals 77. by all concerned. | The active and continued support of the media, both print and electronic, has been outstanding. Please accept our thanks. And while Ald. Mary Jane Mewhinney said that more police parking on Dorset St. would deprive residents. Mayor Marjorie Carroll said the real decision was whether council wanted an expanded police force. . The parking amendments were approved by counâ€" cil committee Aldermen‘s concerns ranged from there being no public parking at the police station, to cutting out the green area in front of the police building to provide more parking. Contained in an engineering report to council committees Monday night on parking bylaw amendâ€" ments was a provision to restrict parking on the west side of Dorset St. from south of Princess St. for 30 metres, for the parking of police vehicles. There‘s a parking shortage downtown, and while aldermen are short on solutions they‘re long and drgwn out on discussing the matter anyway. See you next week.
