Weekend Schedule
We recelved wprd from Toronto recently that the propo^
ed youtb »eeting to discuss Cliib NewB and otber curreöt
youtb topics wiU be beld at Tarmola Sunday morning at 10^0
iLM. The weekend wiU be jam-packed with activities, but we
bope that young people fromevery centre wiU be able toset
aiide anhpur orso to attend an informal discussion on matters
telating to youth.
An opportunity such as this has not presented itself for
a long tiine primarly because of the iact that>althoughwe
bave naany dubs that have taken on the characteristics of
youtb clubs, we have no national youtb organization as such
whicb couldsupplyyouthleadership. At this time we are riöt
proposing that a national youtb organization be set up, but
that Finnish-iGanadian youth avail tbemselves of this oppor­tunity
to discuss conomon problems.
One of the Central questions will be arouhd the Glub
News section pf this papenMany young people today wori-der
wby such a name was chosen wben it does not appear to
have anything to do with the contents of the section: Howev€r;
a number of years ago clubs of the FCASF were in the habit
of reportingregularly on their activities and by follovvtng this
section itwaspossible to keepup with what was going on in
the clubs. Unfortunately in the past few years only a limited
number of articles conceming various clubs has been förth-coniing
and our page is no longer able to serve its original pur-pose.
*
That is bad and it is important to get a consensus of opi­nion
as to the f uture Pf this section. Perhaps a solutiorican be
found to liven things up a bit. In any event the matter is
worth talking about. "
Perhaps the most important question that will be discus-sed
by the plder generation is :the quesj:ion of combinihg the
Sports and Music Festivals into one big affair. There is no
question about iti the consensus bfopim^
generation is that one big affair once a year is the best solu-tion
to the problem and would be of mutual advantage;
Last year there was a strong current of sentiment to ex-,
perimentwith a combined affair and see what happensl This
is a matter in which yöuth has bad little opportunity to ex­press
an Independent voice and it is to be hoped that there will
be a free flow of opinions frpm the younger generation. This
a matter whichwill have a great bearing on the future of
lish-Canadians.
The proposal is that the main discussion centrearound
Club News and Avhatjever time is availablebedevoted to
other matters. At the same time we must remember that this
willbe an inf ormal discussion fromwhichrecommendations
will be made to the appropriate bodies.
The main purpose of the W€eHendi of course, is not to sit
down to a two,day corfference. Young people are only being
asked to get together for an hour or so and the rest of the
timethey wili be free to join in the f un offered by the Music
'^estival. '
From vvhat we understand celebrations will start with' a
'big welcpmingdance at Tarmola Fridaynight. Generälly at
these welcoming dances, there is no limit on time and after •
ithe musicians are unafole to:continue; music is piped in ifram:
ithe PA system." So i f s a safe bet that despiteliow late.you
'arrive in Tariöiola the welcome mat will be out.
Saturday morning early most of the young people will
be going to CampNäivelt to participate in the träck and field
Imeet at Naivelt where they will be in competition with young
ople from ali over Ontario. ,
The Alerts Glub wiU be entering an "unbeatable'^ team in
the Swedish relay and the?4xl00 and some of the other local
jclubs will also be represented.
Saturday af ternoon will be devoted to choir fecitals at the
band shell in Tarmola foUowed by a dance in the evening; The
same evening an operetta "Kosijat" will be staged at the Don
Hall.
Festivities on Sunday will start at nöon with choir reci'-
tals and a variety program at Tarmola and the evening will
the highlight of the Festival — an indoor cultural concert
at the Ukrainian Labor Temple, 300 Batburst St.
It siire looks like a busy Tveekend and we aim to get a f ew

Jehu's Karl Krafs
ForgedAhead
As can be expected at the be-!
Sinning o£ the. season, track and
field results at the Speed sponsored
meet last Sunday can stand con-sidcrable
improvement. However it
was an interesting F meet i n which
thoxe was stiff competition between
the participants.
A very promising note is the f act
that K a r l Krats of the Jehu who
is only 16 took first place i n the
under 21 boys' 5*vent". ,And K a rl
had stiff competition i n the form
of Speed's Tauno Saari, who was
only a point or so behlnd when the
final points were compiled.
I n : addition - to ;.winnjng the 5-
event Karl also went on to win the
opcn 800 m: event although he had
to contendvrith Tauno Saari and
K a r l Palomäki, both of Speed. In
the early stages of the race Karl
let Tauno and Palomäki do the
pacing and then cut loose on the
final 200 mi to pass both K a r l P.
and Tauno. Krats was able to hold
his lead, to: the finish line. coming
in 7 m^ ahead of Tauno. The time
was a respectable'2J[4.4.
In the 5-event Tauno failed to
establlsh points in hiS'Strongest
event, the high jump. He has been
known to get up to 165 cm', fairly
consistenUy but on Sunday he had
difficulty clearing the bar at 145.
But things will be different at
the Liittojuhlas. There boys are in
regular training" and improvement
w i l l c o m e f a s t ; By Liittojuhla time
they should bevin record-breajdng
shape.
; The meet wasJivound up :With an
informal V volley' ball. tournament
between the Jehu and Speed teams.
The Jehu team was able to record
a w i n with a s l im point lead. Volley
ball promises to develop into an
important part o f local track meets
as Alerts w i l l also be fielding a
team. By Liittojuhla ^ time there
s h o u l d b e t h r e e top volley ball
teams i n the Sudbury:'district who
wiU probably decide where the
c h a m p i o n s h i p ^ t o ^ t h i s year. .
The next track meet • w i l l 'also be
held at the Jehu field but this time
under the sponsorship of the Jehu
club. I t w i l l take place on Sunday,

Fred sald. "and SO l t w l l l v l ) e p r e t t y

"We've got some gopd men i n the'
100 and -200 ; metre class, rWho will

man and Jäck Pdrrington, both from
his own club. Parrington. at present
i n Notre Dame,Indianna, fis doing

bested Canada'8 200 metre record' of
21.4 seconds In US. meets."The only
good ^^estem prospect i n the sprints
Is Harry Nelson, of Vancouver, and I:
haven't heard much of hls activities

In the quarter-mlle, Fred feels the
top men wlll be Tery Tobacco of Vanr

N. S. In the mile, (or 1,500 metres, as
It will be at the Olymplcs) Fred sees
our best i n Johnny Moule, and Leo
Weiss, now at college i n Huston, Tex­as.

f*How alxjut the glrls?'- I asked
Pted; ••WeU. therCS Jackie MacDo-oald,

••We' won't have any strongglrls in

a Carcllan farmer,' the embodlment of
the fronllersman, who,: when puUcd

says to the cffect that hls home has
been occupled once, his wlfe,;expect-ing
a child, has to plough Uie land
alone and what the hcll does he carc
if hls buttons are dirty. These flre
not the cxactwords; thcy convey th»
idea. Some critics have found this an
artlstlc weakness of Linna'» — that,
seen from the point of vlcw of the
frontline »oldier, officer» are either
"good" or "bad". that there' Is no
middle way.
