Al Purser chairman of the project says over 500 pieces of winter sports equipment was handled last year We even tried to sell snowmobile for someone he said The sale will include articles such as boys girls mens and women skates skis boots poles sweaters as well as hockey paddings gloves and many other items We are open to suggestions We feel the sale provides community service which allows people to upgrade their equipment needs by making use of equipment they no longer require Purser said The club receives minimum of $1 commission from each person selling equipment but the actual commission is 15 per cent For example if pair of skis sells for $100 we would get $15 and the seller would receive $85 Purser said The chairman said it would be wise of parents to bring their children to the sale in order to ensure correct fit of equip ment Any goods which are not sold may be picked up by the owner the following Saturday Checks for sold items will be mailed out between Nov 19 and Nov 26 Purser said Articles which are not pick ed up by the owners the follow ing Saturday will be donated to local service groups such as the Optimist Club for their Youth programs he said People bringing equipment in are responsible for setting their own price but Purser noted that experienced people will be on hand to assist in setting prices for those who dont know how much to charge for piece of used equipment The chairman says it is hoped that some new ski equipment will be on display and available for sale Proceeds of the sale will be used to fulfill pledge made by the group to the capital

corps of linebackers ideally Tim Ber ryman in the middle with Mike Widger and John Glassford out side IW INJURED But Berryman and Widger are both on the limp so Ottawa coach George Brancato might give

them because of it ONLY HAD EIGHT HITS Flyers try for 45 hits each game Friday there were only eight hits and five of them came in the first two periods You just cant win hockey game if you dont get more hits than that Coates said There is something lacking from the club It has as much talent as any team in the league but cant seem to put it all together We just arent getting any breaks
