Jean LaTraverse, one of the most popular executives and directors of the league, has resigned from his position as president of the Montreal, Team-of-Four League. Mary Paul, who did much in helping players to form teams for the same loop, and who has been doing a very good job as press chief for the Montreal Bridge League, resigned from her directorship of the organization. SHUFFLING Congratulatons are being heaped on Ellie Nagy, these days. She became a grandmother, and a very young and attractive one, earned her life mastership and won the open pair hanipionship, with Franck Turcsik, at the Y.M.-Y.W.H.A. last Tuesday.

Judy and Victor Farkas made it a three-time winner, when they were awarded the trophy for coming up with the best average for married couples during the season play at the The same club also honored Isobel Shuster for the best individual average at their Tuesday games; while Thursday's best went to Meryl Frank. Last night's THE WAY IT'S DONE: Making a record, not just any record, but a good record, is unbelievably complicated. It's not just a question of stepping into a studio, bashing away and then putting the thing on the market and waiting for the coins to roll in. Jurgen Peter, manager, producer and ex-member of The Haunted, invited me along a couple of weeks ago when the group recorded "Land Of Make-Believe" and broke down his system. To start with you need to have the song arranged by a professional and divided into four or more units.

This is because mosit studios have four tape tracks and the four together are your final product. The first track is usually reserved for bass and drums, so those musicians have probably the hardest task they have to record alone, without any backing, as the producer balances their sounds and volumes. The second track then goesjto the rhythm instruments in a rock band the guitar and organ and again has to be balanced. The third track is for the lead instruments and other effects or gimmicks, like a tambourine, background singing or what have you. These musicians are now playing with the first tracks being piped to them via earphones, and thus can improvise for a break or solo with a good idea of what to work from.

The fourth track goes to the lead voice, or, if you want, the background singing as well. But, as with each of the tracks, if one makes a mistake, or they aren't balanced to let the lead voice come through as it should, it's back to the studio for another lake Then the four tracks on one wide tape go to the mixing room, where the art comes into it. In this room a record is made or lost, and the sound differences are so small at this point that an equalizing machine is used, which adds or removes bass or treble. Electronic effects like reverberation or echo can be added to any of the tracks at this point. Then when each track is refined they are Wended together onto a master taipe.

It sounds easy, but if you heard the thing at this point you probably wouldn't like it because each peak of the music is exaggerated to compensate for the quality that is lost when the record is pressed. It's now made into a record master and the disc you buy is made from that It's like the equation for the theory of relativity. The equation looks easy, but to apply it is something else. Recording is work for professionals, and if your group plans it, get a pro to help you, it's the best investment you could make. Conventions Set STAMPS Made Maltin again and at one point led in the scoring, to end the marathon with a thrilling finish.

Watching players like Kehela and Murray is seeing bridge played at its best. One interesting aspect of this famous Toronto partnership, is their respect for each other's talent. It was best noted by the fact that that throughout the meet the two only spoke to each while making bids.

There were no comments to each other, nor discussion about each others bidding or playing.

Neither have we, but look out he may be just around the corner waiting at the next tournament.

He last appeared at the Interzonal at Sousse, Tunisia, a few months ago. What happened? Well, let Mr. Harry Golombek, of the "London tell the way it was. "it is a law of chess that If you touch a piece you must move It. There Is the proviso mat you may adjust a piece if you previously warn your adversary you are going to da so by saying It seems hardly credible, but It was by an abuse of this custom that a player, an international grandmaster at that, was able to take a move back In the recent Interzonal Tournament at Sousse.

In the ninth round, the Yugoslav player, Milan Matulovlc, in sore straits against the Hungarian, Istvan Bilek, played a move that would have lost out of hand. After he had played the move he said "Ich soreche j'adoube" and while I doubt whslher the French Academy would approve of this blend of German and French, the intention was quite clear. He wished as it were to make a retrospective adjustment. He took the losing move back and replaced if by another much better move, and eventually got away with a draw. His opponent, Bilek, protested three times to the arbiter, who, however, not having heard or seen the first part of this Incident, ordered him to continue play.

Poor Bilek, and fortunate Matulovic, who very nearly qualified as a result of the Ill-earned halt-point. His fellow Yugoslavs, wiio witnessed the whole affair, are It seems much alarmed that Matuiovic employs similar tactics in their next championship tournament. And I had the grim picture In mind of Matulovic j'adoubing his way to the World Championship title.

Harris, Dept. GG-35, Boston, Mass. 02117. By FRED Dl IANNI By Sam Montreal's inter-city championship bridge team came within one bid of scoring a major upset in an exhibition match against Canada's national team, at the Vanderbilt Club here last weekend. It followed the lines of the recent Stanley Cup finals, with Canadiens winning the trophy and St.

Louis Blues getting the hurrahs. A four spade bid by the Montreal team on the last hand would have ended the three-day exhibition tournament in a tie. A minor six points separated the two teams at the end of 120 deals, with the final score posted as 149-143 for the Canadian Olympiad squad. Like the Blues, the local team was given very little chance against such international bridge stars as Erie Murray, Sammy Kehela and company. But they came from behind time and time THE REALM OF The 40th annual convention of the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada will be held this year at the Treadway Thousand Islands Club, Alexandria Bay, N.Y.

from Friday Sept. 13 to Sunday, Sept. 15. This is the first time that the society's convention has been held outside of Canada. There will be a non-competitive exhibition, a large bourse, and a number of interesting talks being arranged.

The general chairman is A. H. Hinrichs, Box 360, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. JJhe 82nd annual convention of the American Philatelic Society will take place the followiug week at the Sheraton Hotel, Rochester, N.Y. Sept.

19 to 22, with the Philatelic Association as hosts. The general chairman is Gordon C. Mori-sou, 103 White Village Drive, Rochester, N.Y. 14625. As well as a competitive exhibition there will be a special exhibition of material which has won grand awards at recognized national stamp shows between July 1, 1967 and June 30, 1968.

There will also be a large bourse, an auction and some eight specialist societies have already arranged to hold meetings during the convention. With these, two national conventions being held in the same general area it is anticipated that these philatelic gatherings will draw a great many collectors from all parts of the continent. Arrangements are being made for tours during the intervening days between the two events. Belgium is issuing a set of five semi-postal stamps with a total face value of 35 F. to mark the Olympic Games being held in Mexico.

The new champion, who has been coached by his older brother, Marc, actually started tournament play several years ago, when he scored 2Va pts.

THE HAUNTED SCENE: Rumors that The Cream are 'breaking up have been flatly denied by their American manager. They'll be here June 11 and head home five days later after the longest sustained tour of North America by any British group. They started in mid-February Eric Burdon and The Animals were a huge hit at the Paul 'Sauve Arena on Tuesday.

They did "Sky "San Franciscan Nights" and their fantastic version of "Paint It Black" among others and used a movie light and slide show on the huge screen behind them. People at the arena were even treated to some of Eric's rather grisly home movies, which attempted to show the futility of just about everything. But all in all they were terrific and went out of their way to please the crowd, which lends weight to the rumor that Eric is finally slowing down and losing his rebel image. Two local groups, Image of. Time and The Gap were also featured, and the latter did a terrific job considering the fact they were operating under adverse circumstances like the equipment didn't work.

Ronnie Banks then proceeded to do a far utic solo on the drums and saved the day. But, as the equipment failures showed, the organization was bad and there was a long wait between The Gap and The Animals. But by the time Eric was finished and the smoke haze he'd created for "Sky Pilot" had faded away, everyone trooped out quietly, a welcome difference from previous shows The fantastic Joe Tex will do a teen matinee at The Esquire Show Bar on Stanley at 3 tomorrow afternoon Group called the Soulmakers looking for an organ and a sax.
