Traditional turkey games will be held at all clubs during this month. This year the Gloucester- club will be drawing for 10 early passes to their games.

The changes are not Intended to make the laws ity of life for all people, but to encourage people to do different things that the government thinks noble or useful.

Retirement Savings Plans to encourage people to save, or reduced sales tax to encourage people to spend. The trick is to make people think they're getting a good deal without making them Tememebr that the Government is playing with our deck! In chess, however, rule changes are less common because they are made with a view only to improving the game. In their 1200 year history, the rules of chess underwent many changes, but over the past 400 years they have remained more or less the same. The last major change came In the 19th century, when the rules of castling were clarified. It is all the more interesting when a rule change occurs.

At their meeting in Buenos Aires, the World Chess Federation changed, the "50-move rule," which said: 12.4 "The game is drawn when a player having the move demonstrates that at least fifty consecutive moves have been made by, each side without the capture of any piece or the movement of any pawn." Crowfoot strong ally though his adopted Poundmaker, was one of the rebel leaders. Crowfoot was a marvellous horseman and marksman. Someone gave him an umbrella which he greatly prized and used In the sun and rain while riding across the prairie. When Crowfoot died, Will Rogers, a famous U.S. humorist and philosopher, said that he was sure there would be a good horse and saddle waiting for him tn heaven.

Crowfoot ranks with the great Indians In Canadian history. CearM Nev.M NS I. Anne Lee, S. Nonovott; I Rom Marks, vie Pandit. EW I.

King Pawn if the following con-' ditions are met: the Pawn is safely blockaded by a Knight; and the pawn (if black) is not further advanced than the line on this week's diagram. If the pawn were White, the line would be upside down. As background, it is important to know that 2N cannot in against a lone unless a blunder is made by the defence.

The problem is that White can control the Vital squares only by stalemating the Black king. If Black has a pawn, however. White can blockade it with one and then corral the with his own N. The corraling is a long process' that often takes more than 50 moves. Then the other comes into play, while the existence of the pawn prevents a stalemate.

In the diagram, White plays LNf4 d5 2.Nh3 (without the d-pawn, this would be stalemate) d4 3.Ng4d3 4.Ngf2. If the pawn Is. too far advanced, a win is not possible because the pawn can promote before White set up 2 mating net. 2 vs is not the only case where mate can be forced, but not within the required 50 moves. At least two other positions have been Identified, and we can expect that further exceptions will be made to the rules of chess over the next few years.

How may I get maps of snowmobile trails from Ottawa to North Bay? Spokesmen for snowmobile organizations indicate that a trail from Ottawa to North Bay may exist one day, but it may be another five years down the road. Many snowmobile organizations are district and province-wide groups whose aims are to exchange information about their own trails, and to make the sport safer for participants. In the Ottawa area, clubs have joined the OttawaVallcy and District Snowmobile Association which, in turn, will link members and their trails from Prcscott, Kcmptville, Almonte, White Lake, Eganville or Calabogie. Maps of these participating clubs' trails are in the hands of the printers. Such maps will be available soon to club members only, BE HEARD was advised.

Organized groups stress the need for more snowmobilers to join clubs for a wider distribution of information, saying that only 50 per cent of the snowmobilers in their area are members of such clubs. I realized the other day that Loblaws have closed their store on Rideau Street (between Rldeau and Besserer). My question is "Has regional government considered taking that property to allow Dalhousie traffic to move south across that area rather than having to tarn right on Rideaa and making a nasty left tarn to Nicholas, tying up traffic In that I remember some years ago that city traffic authorities committed themselves to using that route extending Dalhonsie should the property ever become available. Regional Municipality authorities reply as follows "In the light of proposed road network for the Rideau Centre project, there would be little gained from a new road link as described In the attached question. The removal of traffic from Rideau Street will eliminate most of the problems associated with the left turn from Rideau to Nicholas.

The property in question was considered at one time by our planners, however It is our understanding that commercial Interests have already purchased it and acquisition costs by the Regional Municipality would likely be To the reader asking where she might find plastic foam for packing china: a reader has suggested that pieces of egg containers might be suitable for this parpose If friends and neighbours could help In the collection of enough of them.
