1 SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1979 It's a soul By Monty Brigham The best place to see birds is still Shlrleys Bay. Last Saturday, John Kelly spotted an adult bald eagle, Along with Roger Foxall and Bruce Dilabio, Kelly watched this majestic bird as it soard and flapped to a distant log boom. There the eagle seemed to feed on a fish that it carried in its talons from Shirleys Bay. Most of the eagle sightings in the past few years are immature birds, but to see a full adult in all its regal splendor pure white head an tail contrasting with a dark chocolate body will stir anyone's soul. Snowy owls are starting to appear.

Dilabio saw one bird sitting on a fence post at Moodie Drive and the Queensway. It is still early to tell what kind of snowy-owl-winter we will have. How to sort out action at dog show By Joan Cotboum Dog shows are frequently referred to in this column. Indeed, for anyone who likes to see a lot of attractive dogs in a variety of shapes and sizes, attending a dog show can be a pleasant, although at times confusing. Judging always starts with male puppies Thence through the classes: junior puppy, senior puppy, Canadian bred, bred by exhibitor, and open classes; and to the female classes.

Best of breed winner Now, they bring the champions into the ring followed by the winner over all the male classes (winners male) and the winner over all the female classes (winners de-male or bitch). From among these, the judge chooses the best representative of that breed. This dog is the best of breed winner. Next, he chooses the best opposite sex winner, obviously the best animal in the ring of the sex opposite to the sex of the best of breed winner. Then best of winner is chosen from between the winners dog and winners bitch.

Finally, best puppy, under one year, is chosen. That's about all there is to it except that the judging isn't finished yet. What has occurred to this point has been assessing the best animals from within a particular breed. Each breed is judged in this order. Best in show judging Now you get into the group and best in show judging.

There are six groups: group 1, sporting dogs; group II, hound dogs; group III, working dogs; group IV; terriers; group toy dogs; group VI, non-sporting dogs. The best of breed winners from BIRDS Ian and Paul Jones went to Beau-harnols last Sunday. There they saw an adult laughing guff in winter plumage a rare bird anywhere in Canada. They reported a mew gull. Locally, it is possible to see seven species of gull at Nepean Dump.

You'll see the normal, herring and ring-billed gulls. But' Dilabio observed thayer's gull, Jcefandxand glaucous gulls and two lesser-black-backed gulls. One adult lesser-black-backed has been around for a few weeks but now there is a third-year bird. Few places anywhere in North America can boast of two lesser-black-backed gulls at the same time. 'Talks' like this, between a collie y- 7 Top team sent each breed within the group Canada have an excellent sporting, dogs compete against each other in a ring together.

The awards are' 1st (usually accompanied by a trophy), and 4th. For each of which there is a rosette given to the ownerhandler. There will be six dogs who receive a group 1st rosette. These winners then compete for best in show. Tucked in after each group judging is the judging for best puppy in group.

The pups winning best puppy in group compete, the six of them together, for best puppy in show. it-bir All this leads me to mention a very nice best in show win for the Pekingese owned by Ann Shelling, which has just made this three-year-old female Pekingese a record holder for the number of wins earned by any Pekingese female. Ann has an English setter too, which has just returned from placing best opposite sex at the New England specialty show. Berry in By Jonathan Berry The Montreal Chess League's autumn open attracted 100 players last weekend. If such a tournament were held in one big section, at least six rounds would be required to determine a winner.

The league used a system which, I am convinced, will eventually become the weekend norm. I found the tournament enjoyable and competitive. After a good night's sleep, I was back to normal on Monday. Three tied The top section of the tournament resulted in a three-day tie for first between out-of-town players. Lawrence Day Of Toronto, Renaud Nadeau of Quebec City and I each scored 3'j points out of 4.

Nadeau and I scored our points in the standard fashion, by simply making fewer mistakes. Day scrambled. Each game was crowned with a time scramble. It was this fact that saved Day In his last round game with Francois Le-veille, 18. stirring sight By Norm Hall A smattering of Ottawans and a somewhat larger contingent of Mon-trealers are the main representatives of the Eastern Canada district at the fall nationals now taking place in Cincinnati.

A quick survey found the response of the local stamp fraternity was positive. Many indicated they would like to see a series about stamp collecting, so that the various aspects touched upon in this "test broadcast could be more thoroughly examined. Seen as catalyst My personal opinion is that a regular series, under the auspices of community programming, could be a catalyst to motivate and draw together the many people who collect casually and without participating in a local club.

These collectors certainly outnumber the club memberships by a wide margin, especially among adult hobbyists who do not have the ready access to groups that juniors do. collecting, aside from wide local interest in the general viewing population, is that there are many local events that can serve as focal points for a television series. There are the frequent "stamp launch" ceremonies. In 1980, there will be the opening of the new Postal Museum, and ORAPEX '80. There are public-auctions, the Miniexpo meeting, and club meetings.

Material from the postal museum reference collections would provide excellent visual support, and local collectors could supplement the text of discussions with examples from their collections. Volunteers the key One point should be made clear. Community programming draws its strength from volunteer participation. Individual support will be the key to success, should such a series become a reality. Skyline Cablevision produced the pilot show to which I have referred, with Wayne Brown hosting a presentation by Clark Grierson and Hans Reiche.

A variety of collecting aids, as well as interesting examples of early stamps and covers, was illus- trated. Naturally 60 minutes is not enough time to delve into any of the subjects appreciated. For this reason alone the idea of a hobby-oriented series would be appealing. For those who missed the program, there will be repeat broadcasts today at 3 p.m. (Skyline) and tomorrow at 8 p.m.

(Ottawa). New releases uespue ruiuurs urai pusiai raies will again be increased, Canada7 Post has listed the 31 commemorative stamps planned for 1980 in terms of existing first class rates (17-cent domestic and 35-cent foreign). There will apparently be no new definitive values1 other than new plate numbers, as required among next year's releases. However, a change in postal rates could result in more new definitives. There will be an imaginative variation on the 1979 Unity provincial flags issue.

June 18, 1980, will bring us another miniature sheet of 16 stamps in two designs, printed se-tenant. The occasion of this 1980 issue will be the centennial of the first playing of Canada's national anthem, June 24, 1880. I. will provide a more complete listing of the planned issue in a later 1 I u.

Variety of journals In the last column, I mentioned' the wide variety of specialist stamp journals and periodicals. To give you some idea of what is meant by that, the following information pertains to the American Philatelic Society (A.P.S.), probably the largest collector organization, and certainly one of the most prestigious. The recent handbook of A.P.S. Services lists 80 active affiliate study units and societies, each of which has a periodical publication, and some of which offer a newsletter. Many of, them affiliates also run sales circuits, auctions, maintain libraries, and support services of immediate interest to their members.

The dues for these varied groups range from (Canadian currency) $5 to $12 per year. Many will provide sample journals and others will be able to sell you back issues of the unit publications. In addition, a variety of newsletters flourish. One to which I subscribe is the One-Half Fathom (don't ask me why that namel), which reports on covers available from submersible research recovery vessels, and both underwater, habitats and surface support ships..
