These are what we all refer to as the crossing-guards. In this article I pro- pose to give them the credit they deserve. 3 "-- B84 GOVVE houge SREaKEAE can? bad *79-50 totile the kitchen floor f* Mrs. Jean Bozec who has been on the job for seven years and just loves it '"'guards" at the Recreation Centre/Birchwood Crossing.

She enjoys the children and says the local Police Force have been just super. Mrs. Betty Ellsworth has ben "guarding"' the little angels for four years. Her crossing is at the Community Church. She says she not only guards, but she has repaired bikes, bandaged knees, tied up scarves and listened to 'current events.' 4 ; Betty finds her job rewarding when a little one comes up and presents her with a dandelion and says she thoroughly loves her job and hopes she can continue / 17 for a long time to come. : T od \ WY Mrs. Beverly Desjardins, who crosses her little charges at the Imperial Esso cross- ing, has been doing it for four years.

Baseball has the Grand Slam. Foot- ball has the Grandstand Catch and cricket has the century, And golf? Golf has the hole-in-one. Even a non-golfer like me has to admit that the hole-in-one is a remarkable feat. Just look what you have to deal with: a dimpled, spherical missile teetering on a tiny little platform. The missile is pro- pelled by a whack from a metal club which is propelled by a pair of human arms. A well-hit golf ball leaves the tee at a speed from 90 to 170 miles an hour. It travels anywhere from 50 to afew hundred yards over sand traps, water hazards, trees, brush and other golfers. Eventually, gravity drags it down. It hits the earth, bounces once or twice, rolls for a while and stops. Once in a while -- once in a very long-while -- the ball will leave the tee and land in the distant cup in one shot. It is called the hole-in- one. Most golfers never see one. The experts estimate that it occurs about three times in every 10,000 Many duffers have fantasies _ about some day achieving that con- summate, once-in-a-lifetime thrill of driving a ball from the tee to the cup in one shot, but not if they're Japanese. Japanese golfers look forward to a hole-in-one the way you or I look forward to a gallstone attack. Ask Akira Anzai. Two years ago Mister Anzai, a Tokyo insurance - salesman, teed off from the third hole at the Kuju Lakeside Golf Course. The shot felt good. He had his legs apart, weight equally distributed...he remembered to keep his head down and follow through... it was a smooooooth swing and -- click -- away Akira's ball sailed in a perfect arc, hook- ing neither left nor right. Akira watched open-mouthed as his ball floated down to the green, took one hop...and vanished! A hole-in- one! That mysterious, magical, all- but-unattainable Holy Grail of golf! Tell the listening audience, Akira Anzai -- how did you feel when you realized you'd shot a hole-in-one? says Akira Anzai. Ah so...the Japanese Number One Phobia: Fear of Acing, It's all because of an old Japanese tradi- tion regarding good fortune. The Japanese believe that a person must share any good fortune that befalls him. More than that, they believe that anyone who selfishly keeps his good luck to himself will be curs- ed. Now golf is a very popular past- time in Japan -- something like 10,000 adult Japanese partake regularly. That means that the dreaded hole-in-one is occuring more and more often on Japanese golf courses. Alright, but what's so horrible about scoring a hole-in- one -- and how do you go about "'sharing" the good fortune of shooting one? First thing you do is reach for your wallet. You will be expected to buy a little present for everyone -- from caddies to colleagues to the foursome at the next hole -- who witnessed your shot. You are also expected to send similarly choice goodies to all your friends and co- workers -- even if they couldn't tell TSS SS ee" Ue pong ball. And we're not talking about chintzy vifts like personaliz- ed T shirts or embossed drink coasters here. Japanese hole-in- oners are expected to lash out some serious yen. For example, when a Japanese distillery executive recent- ly hit a hole-in-one, he had special golf-ball-shaped whiskey bottles manufactured, filled them with his firm's top-of-the-line premium li- quor and sent them to his friends and associates. All one thousand of them. Another 'lucky' golfer by the name of Shigeji Suzuki remembers his feat and the financial bath he took because of it. First, he had to tip his two caddies twenty bucks each. Then he bought $850 worth of engraved gold pens which he gave to his closest friends and business associates as well as to his golf partners. Next, he purchased 100 golf towels each emblazoned with his name, the date and the details of his triumph. The towels ($400 worth, all told) went to his not-quite-as-important colleagues and acquaintances.

No big deal, perhaps, if you hap- pen to bea rock star, an arms ped- dler or a Greek shipping tycoon. Shigeji Suzuki is a chartered accountant. I dunno...we've imported an awful lot of Japanese hardware and culture over the past few years -- everything from television sets to sushi diners -- but I hope they keep their hole-in-one tradition to themselves. And so does Harry Lee Bonner. Harry lives in San Rafael, Califor- nia. He's an avid golfer. He's also the holder of the world record for the greatest number of holes-in-one during a career. Harry's shot 66 of them. In North America, Harry's talent lands him in the Guinness Book of Records. In Tokyo, it would put him in the Poorhouse.
