For example: *Almost 620,000 Canadian men and women served in the First World War at a time when the population of the country was only a few million. 0f these, more than 66,000 were killed. * By September 1939, more than 58,000 Canadian men and women had volunteered to serve in the Canadian Forces during the Second World War. Canadian soldiers formed the main assault force for the raid on Dieppe, where more than 900 Canadians were killed and almost 2,000 more were taken prisoner. A total of more than one mil- lion Canadians served in the Second World War and about 45,000 gave their lives. Canada's navy was the third largest in the allied forces and its airforce was the fourth largest. * More than 26,000 Canadians served in the Korean War. 0f them, 500 lost their lives, 378 of whom are bunied at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery at Tanggok, a suburb of Pusan. Canada made a larger contribution in proportion to its population than most of the nations that provided troops for the international force. Lest we forget.

But fans sbouldn't expect that past success 10 have any kind of bearing on the 2002 Maverieks - who'li baaicaily be etarting fromt scratch once again. Not to be too much of a pessimiot -especial- iy oince i rather like Mr. Arnold and have corne t0 enjoy the game of lacrosse (Canada's officiai national pastime and the fastest gamne on two feet) - but the Mavenecks' new contingent wiil have an uphili ciimb just securing players, let alonte wins.

Had il flot been for Elora and Oshawa fans John Tonelli Arena would have heen mighty empty for the Founder's Cup. Mr. Arnold may have ensued a unite more suc- cens in this area by moving home games from Friday t0 Thursday nights - which during the Bummer keeps your weekend getaway crowd in town. But as many a fan has told me year in and year out, "Who wants t0 be in a stuffy arena on a hot summer night?" They've got a point. i like lacrosse as rnuch as the next guy, but il reaiiy seems t0 be a sport hest suited strictiy for outdoor play. But with ail that said. 1 salute Mr. Arnolid and company for trying t0 revive the sport in Milton and wish hinm lots of luck in the attempî. Because quitle frankly, i think he's going Ir need it.
