wasnt get- tins on as well as one might ex pect she was sick quite often and missed many days of school because of her illness her pa rents called a doctor and his prescription was about to change glorias life he told her that she wasnt taking enough time to partake in the finer things of life and recommend ed that she become interested in sports what sports he didnt specify so she had a wide choice her selectionfigure skating on february 6th 1965 gloria anne tatton captured third place in the canadian figure skating championships and gained a position on the canad ian team to skate at the north american championships and the world competitions but this didnt happen overnight its been 1 1 years since the doc tor paid that visit to the tatton home and each year has been spent practising and polishing the art of figure skating gloria had never seen any one figure skating until the day her mother took her to stoult- ville arena for her first lesson she put on her skates and gin gerly stepped onto the ice sur face half an hour later gloria was skating around the rink i the little picks on the front of the skates gave her considerable trouble going forward so she did the next best thing she went backwards donna marie lehman took gloria by the hand and led her down the ice to initiate a career that is still climbing gloria was intrigued with skating and so the story goes loved it so much she went to bed with her skates on after re turning from the arena started late gloria was only one of about 100000 skaters in canada and she had a disadvantage because of starting so late in figure skating circles most beginners are on skates at six and some even younger the odds against her making it to the top were extremely high but that didnt bother her i didnt aim high she ex plained once i got my first test 1 aimed for my second ra ther than think about my third she passed all eight tests and had her gold medal secured when she was sixteen years old presently a member of the toronto granite club gloria skated five years at niagara falls summer school two years at weston and a year at the tarn oshanter her coach is marcus mikkanen at 17 gloria ventured to the ontario northland studying and trying dance tests in schuma cher she attended high school in richmond hill and when out of school took a course iri in terior decorating in calgary where the cana dian championships were held gloria was caught unawares when her name was called for third spot i didnt think i had made it she said i was at the other end of the rink an unidentified cameraman caught glorias expression general look of ling and who me is the best this wri ter can do after seeing the pic ture gloria and her two compan ions petra burka and valerie jones have been friends for years petra was first in the competition and val placed se cond were just like the three musketeers gloria smiled many disappointments gloria explained that she cant do a double axel a move- front of 5000 people but as the i crowd warmed up so did she however before attaining the i heights s has now reached gloria has undergone much heartbreak in her tests it was always one judge who failed her while the res gave her a passing mark she now realizes though that the judge was right and by improving herself at his request has bettered her skating it was at the arena where she became depressed and wanted to quit until a man by the name of telf rennie entered the picture and told hex fvkvwiw ment that is very difficult to execute and in its place she starts her program with a ser ies of combinations her first motion that of four consecutive jumps will usually set oft the crowd in a round of applause when you know the specta tors are behind you youre more relaxed she claimed as she started her program in calgary she appeared very ner vous and who wouldnt be in that someday she would be one of the best in canada if she stayed at it it was in bramp ton where she had difficulty in getting ice time until a group of boys who piayed hockey do- nated half the ice for her prac tising gloria would practice at stouftville then when her ice time expired her father would drive over to brampton while she slept in the car for more linda cause 14 makes bid for canadian junior ski title baby chicks ordered early should be fed the best gel them oft to a good start by using the best

linda couse left on sunday by plane for kimberley b c that in itself is enough to thrill any fourteen year old girl who has never been on a plane but linda has an added thrill thrown in she will compete for a position in the canadian ski championships being held on february 19h and 20th placing high in the competitions could also land linda a spot on can adas olympic team in the very near future this is the same linda couse who only a few short years ago didnt like skiing the same girl who would stand at the bottom of the hill and look up rather than stand at the top and ski down its the same girl who thought she looked conspicuous in her fur lined ski boots skiing gradually grew on linda she saw someone esle with a pair of fur lined boots and this even helped she did not feel quite as centred out at the age of nine she began her ykiing career on the slopes near caledon and collingwood tarcnls help she started out exactly the same as most other skiers do she had old wooden skis with a simplified harness a pair of bamboo poles and the fur lin ed boots most important though she had a mother and father and with them skiing is a way of life mrs couse played the lead role in teaching linda the basic fundamentals of skiing when she was only five linda was wellprepared when her pres ent coach hans weiland took over in her early days of skiing linda tooks spills just like ev eryone else only one spill cost her half a season of the sport it was at snow valley where she was coming down a hill slowly and cautiously when she applied a snowplow position to decrease her speed her bal ance slightly off linda fell for ward and broke her leg how ever anything like a broken leg isnt going to stop an enthus iastic skier and it didnt stop linaa linda has skied at the maj ority of ontario resorts and has tested her skills in ver mont the hills are bigger and the runs arc longer she said good solid base her favorite skiing conditions are good solid bases on the hill with very little or no powder snow she has become accus tomed to skiing on an icy sur face because georgian peaks hills are ofen siassy in competition she likes all the events but prefers the downhill and the giant slalom she explained that in the downhill she uses longer skis than in the slalom to attain more speed the crouch is also very im portant in the downhill run and the proper wax on your skis is a must to anyone competing in a national championship a feel ing of butterflies might occur but with linda she has only one thought i get out of the gate as fast as i can and get to the bottom she said the skier gels to feel out the hill before they actually go in to competition this gives them a chance to find the easiest and fastest route to the bottom they get to know the hill and know just what they can do on it more concentration is requir ed in the slalom slalom skiing is a downhill run with compli cations a competitor must weave in and out of gates or poles as fast as he can rhythm and aggressiveness arc important here linda claimed you dont lose points for hitting a post as a matter of fact its a good sign that your course is tight if you do knock the odd one over you stand to be disqualified though if one or both of your skis pass on the wrong side of the post in slalom a skier must re member that the tighter he is to the post the faster his time will be anyone swaying from the posts will be delayed ad pro bably lose badly skis all summer however the snow in canada does not fly all year and dur ing the summer lull linda must keep herself in shape how does she do that simple she skies a summer ski school is held in oregon which she at tends periodically when shes not there she is still skiing on ly this time on water linda also likes tennis and horseback riding this summer she has expressed desire to be a camp counsellor to linda skiing is the great est sport there is and she knows why she likes it theres a lot of challenge she explained and there is always something to accom plish parents classmates relatives and friends will be watching this young 14 year old grade 10 student as she endeavours to carve herself a career in pro fessional skiing she has many good yean to do it too time drilling and practising sitting by the window sewing the canadian decals on glorias skating costume mrs tatton glanced up mused for a second and said there are so many people to thank for glorias success we are very grateful many costumes mrs tatton makes all glor ias costumes the young skater takes a number of suits with her to competitions because as she explains it you never know when a zipper may go she will wear a strawberry red costume to start at the north american the uniform is ac cented with silver sparkles that add to its beauty glorias other sports interests include golf swimming and horseback riding she has al ways wanted to try skiing that sport fascinates me she said and figure skating probably fascinates the skier gloria is also an avid oil painter and one of her works is on display in the porch where everyone can see it the big question in most peo ples mind is does the fame and popularity change a young girl everyone asks me that she smiled but i feel exactly the same other people discovering she is a figure skater form the op inion that skating is the easy way out people think im lazy and that i should be in school gloria explained however skating is a full time job and there arent too many people who would get up at five in the morning and go skate in a cold free text books for grades 11 and 12 provincial grants to

arc drea mers claimed the youngster they expect too much and aim too high oh i agree that a skater should set her sights ahead but too far can be disas trous you should take each year at a time its a

ingredients have been mixed and is not just a blend of granular materials as a result each granule contains all three plant food elements in the right proportions ordinary granular and blended fertilizers simply consist of a mixture of ingredients either in powder form or granules although its easier to make fertilizer that way it cannot be as effective in use due to the separation of ingredients of different size and weight as every granule contains all the guaranteed plant food elements shotgain selectedgranulated fertilizer remains completely bal anced throughout storing shipping and spreading resulting in balanced feeding of plants from every granule consistent more even application of the best possible fertilizer to give you maximum yields and top returns from your fertilizer dollar as always it pays to get the finest fertilizer for your good earth sbdbgajn selectedgranulated fertilizer be sure to discuss your spring fertilizer program with your local shubrgain
