Is it possible that summer's . Olympic Games are already becoming a bore? Certainly the sums of money involved and their almost weekly escalation are so far beyond the ordinary citizens idea of a dollars value that it is doubtful anyone not involved notices them any longer, let alone remembers them. The first games were held about 2750 years ago in Olympia, Greece, as part of a great religious festival at which a truce was declared between warring states. These cele- brations of religion and peace put them at a great distance not only in time but in purpose from our modern Olympics. To ensure secur- ity probably the largest massing ever in Canada of city, provincial and federal police, as well as armed forces in a relatively small area will be necessary. So much for peace. Religion? Oh, well.
