SATURDAY. JANUARY 26. 1980 BRIDGE 28 top teams play off By Norm Hall The Canadian national teams draw well in the city, with a total of 28 teams two sites. With a chance to represent Canada in international competilion, it's noTsurprising tfiaT-the event -drew most of the top players in the area. Two more levels of play are necessary to earn the right to play in the Canadian finals.

The Eastern Ontario playoffs are in Smiths Falls in early March, and the Eastern Canada finals will be held in Montreal in May. From Montreal, three teams will go on to the Canadian championships. Considering the quality of the top players in this unit, we have an excellent chance to be represented in the national playoffs. Bridge cotendar: R. Jon 31.

One 35 cent stamp features Lucius It's a 'whooping' success Hebert's no fluke By Jonathan Berry Jean Hebert and Kevin Spraggett split first prize in the Montreal Invitational Tournament last weekend.

When Hebert won the Canadian championship two years ago, many experts, including some of the players, viewed his victory as something of a fluke. The Montreal Invitational was his first chance to prove himself in head-to-head competition against Canada's best, and he showed that his earlier victory was no fluke. Although Spraggett is only 25, he has been recognized as one of Canada's top players for several years now, so his victory did not surprise anybody. Third-place tie Laszlo Witt and Lawrence tied for third place with 5' points out of nine each, a full point behind the winners. Witt has not played much in recent years.

Day was the top-ranked player in the tournament, but his final placing is no disgrace. Former Canadian junior champion Sylvain Barbeau was alone in fifth place with five points. Barbeau's Canadian rating before the tournament was about 2100, and he will gain an International Rating of about 2370 for his performance in Montreal, so his placing here can One-day By Joan Colbourn About 1,700 spectators, 360 canine contestants and the Ottawa Kennel Club show committee got together this week to put on the first sanction match In the region in 1980.

A complaint This week a reader wrote to me about an unsavory experience with his dog recently at a boarding kennel on the fringe of the city. The reader was not allowed to see the kennel area before leaving the animal. Perhaps, had he seen the set-up beforehand, the pooch might not have been left there at all.

The sad condition the animal was if when the ownfjr went to fetch It By Brian Morin In the past few weeks you'd be hard-pressed to find good news in the daily headlines, so it is with great relish that I relay some positive news about the fate of one of the world's best-known endangered species. Steve Wendt, of the Canadian Wildlife Service in Hull, informed me that the world's whooping crane population now stands at between 125 and 128, a new high. Of this total, there are 25 birds in captivity and 100-103 in the wild. As I reported in August, the population of transplanted whoopers, brought up under the watchful care of greater sandhill cranes at Gray's Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Idaho, has done reasonably well. Following the successs of this co-operative effort involving Canadian and U.S.

Wildlife Services, the Canadian service is now looking at the possibility of establishing another foster parent program among sandhills in a Canadian location. Let's hope our sandhills are as obliging as their American relatives. Winter-species Yes, Virginia, there is winter!

Brodeau is one of the architects of the Quebec Chess Federation's independent stance within the Canadian chess scene. Camille Courdari scored well against the top players, but not so well against the "weaker" ones. His score of 32 was a disappointment. Henry Zurowski made the same score, but for the theoretically "weakest" player in the tournament, that was excellent. match a PETS points out a couple of things that anyone contemplating boarding an animal should think about.

Make arrangements well ahead so you can get out and see the exact place where your pet would stay while you are elsewhere. If they won't let you see that spot, then find another kennel that is more open about Its facilities. If you have a bad experience with a boarding kennel or a breeder of dogs, send a complaint to the Better Business Bureau. Confused Color in retrievers seems to be causing some confusion. So here I'll attempt to sort things out for you.

This northern rarity was spotted by Steven O'Don-nell on the Leitrim Road.

Steven also had two long-eared owls in the same woods. The following day, Ted Oaks found a saw-whet ovW there, which Richard Poulin was able to band. A gyrfalcon, presumably the same bird spotted at Deschenes last week, was seen by Ron Pittaway on Monday at the Carting Avenue rock quarry. The house finch that frequented the Berwick Street area last summer and fall has been spotted there again by Bill Clark and others. Steven Gawn also saw a robin in the area.

Ducks still around Phyllis Lowe of Ottawa was touring the Cornwall area and turned up a total of II Canada Geese at Long Sault and Naime Island, as well as a flock of waxwings, 34 cedars and a bohemian, at Long Sault. In Ottawa, Bruce Dilabio spotted 60 cedars at Bait Island, a herring and four ring-hilled gulls, three song sparrows, a black-backed three-toed wmxlpecker on Fisher Avenue, a northern oriole in Carlsbad Springs, and a great black-backed gull. The remaining open water is still harboring lingering water birds. Denis Allan and Michael Rohland, with three and two points respectively, 'had nothing to rejoice over.

There is the Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever, a native of where else? Nova Scotia. His color is the same as that of a fox. But the confusion centres around the Labrador retrievers and' the golden retrievers. The standard for the golden retriever states Its color to be a "lustrious golden of various shades." It Is never called yellow. The Labrador retriever may be black, yellow or chocolate-colored.

"Yellow may vary In color from fox-red to light cream." He Is never called "golden." So should you wish to speak about a Labrador retriever that is neither chocolate (that's dark brown) nor black, you should refer to him as a "yellow Labrador."

S3 Ceremony abbr. Monday paper 4 By Bryan Elliott Last Saturday the Bells Corners Stamp Club held a successful mini-auction, with 14 members and a total of 35 collectors on hand for bidding. There were 108 lots offered. Including 29 of covers, several of mixtures or kiloware, some "Cinderella" material and some 30 Canada offerings. The balance comprised Great Britain, Commonwealth, Europe (including a good showing of Eastern Europe) and mixed lots, with the catalogue' values throughout the auction ranging from $3 to $80.

It was good fun and the material was Interesting. Auction today Today, Ottawa Stamp Auctions Ltd. Is holding Its eighth and ninth sales, at the Skyline Hotel. The. 950 lots offer a strong showing of roller cancels the largest such offering in many years.

As In the last sale, there is a varied and interesting -selection of postal history, although from the descriptions in the catalogue it seems that the general quality of the covers is somewhat' lower. This may be to the benefit of local floor bidders, as mail bidders may be reluctant to bid on lots not described as superior quality. Also included is a fine selection of "Admiral" issue coil stamps, a specialized field that should draw keen bidding due to the comprehensive range of varieties and printings. Since there will be two sessions, the first sale will start at 10 a.m., with the second slated to begin at one in the afternoon. More history material Perhaps as a result of high prices for pre-Second World War material (among the issues of Canada's Post Office) there is an interesting trend evident, in recent auctions, such as those held by Ottawa Stamp Auctions.

There is much more postal history material, and specialized collections of early issues are more often featured. These trends are indications of the maturing of collector interests, especially among Canadian collectors. A West Coast firm is holding a major auction this weekend that features a comprehensive range of Canadian military history covers, from the collections of Maj. (ret.) Mallott, an Ottawa collector who is noted for his study in that field of postal history. You may remember seeing some of his entries in Orapex exhibits, including airmail letters and covers.

In February, in Toronto, the Maresch firm of auctioneers will be selling a specialized reference collection of the plate blocks and strips of the Edward VII issues. The collection was extensively used in the preparation of information in Marler's study of those definitive stamps. Good source As mentioned above, the sale at the Skyline will feature a premier selection of roller cancels, a field that offers variety, rarity and many attractive philatelic multiples, since the roller cancellation was primarily used (and intended exclusively for) parcels. Roller cancellations, therefore, represent the best source of genuine postal use of blocks, strips, and other formats of multiple use, particularly of higher-value stamps. As usual, there will be a variety of more general material at the auction.

Certainly with 200 more lots than last time, the sale has to have something for everyone. Of course, you can find many good, collectible selections of stamps at your local club meetings, too. And that is just a bonus, added to the fund of stamp information and lore that your fellow members will be able to offer. At our club meetings in Bells Comers, there is a good deal of information circulated. Recently there was a report of the current booklets and 17-cent Queen stamps being found with paper showing the ribbed effect.

This report led to a discussion of the quality of definitive stamp printings, and several members recounted examples of the variety of poorly-registered and perforated stamps that they have seen. Dramatic shift For example, several examples of a dramatic color shift on 17-cent Queen stamps, from the current 50-cent booklet series, were shown. Perhaps you have a few yourself. One member offered an example of postal use of a $1 Fundy stamp, with the dollar sign shifted into the margin, at the auction last week. For traders, the stamp club Is an excellent venue for exchanging extra material, and for filling gaps in your collections.

I have bad good fun sorting kiloware that is available from two of our club members and, in addition, have been able to secure a good stock of commemoratlves These examples, quoting the variety of material available at local and mall auctions, and giving you an Idea of the information passed at club meetings, are meant to encourage readers to take advantage of the very real benefits that stamp collecting can offer you..
