This hatred stems from a fear of -- TV, Mr. McFarlane peaking at the Whitby Kins- on Club's 15th annual Civic Night Dinner, attended by some 35 guests representing varied groups of civic officials, Mr. McFarlane suggested teachers keep saying "no teacher on television can ever substitute for the personal attention the' student gets from the teacher in the classroom. But, Mr. McFarlane said, "apart from the fact that some teachers bestow mighty little personal attention on their stu- -- there is some validity in this. OBVIOUS FACT "But," the speaker continued, "there remains the obvious fact that very few teachers can com- mand the concentrated attention children will give a television program they like.

The islanders temporarily housed at Calshot, England, hope to make Tristan da Cunha habitable again. apse Evening WHITBY Saturday Matinee At 1:30 p.m. Show Starts 7 and 9 p.m. CAN WHITBY AND OSHAWA BOTH MAKE PLAYOFFS ? Taking advantage of the ancient statement that nothing is impossible I can't help wondering if it could be possible for both Oshawa Generals and Whitby Dunlops to oust third and fourth-place members, Brampton Seven-Ups and Knob Hill Farms respectively. Dunlops are beginning to roll once more with suieaiee victories Sunday in the Gardens against Knob Hill, and Tues- day night at home over Brampton. Whitby's latest triumph moved them to within four points of fifth-place Oshawa Generals, and nine back of Knob Hill, and ten behind Brampton. If Generals and Dunlops continue to bowl over Knob Hill and Brampton in their remaining scheduled tilts, while eplitting the three remaining games between themselves, then this aforementioned possibility wouldn't appear so remote. Whitby has two games each with Knob Hill and Bramp- ton and Oshawa has two with Knob Hill, and three against Brampton. None of the four clubs in the playoff battle are threats to league-leading Neil McNeil, and the prospect of overpower- ing Marlboros in ensuing outings is also doubtful. Oshawa came close again Tuesday evening as they dropped a 2-1 decision to Marlies. Earlier in the season, Whitby tied Marlboros 6-6, then deadlocked again a few weeks back while they rode the crest of a short undefeated string. Lately, neither Knob Hill nor Brampton has been too successful with the Baby Leafs. A great deal hinges on the outcome of a back-to-back en- counter Thursday and Sunday between Knob Hill and Bramp- ton, If one club should win both games, the pattern pro- posed here might become slightly difficult to complete. Both Oshawa and Whitby rest until next Tuesday when they clash in one of their exciting meetings at the Whitby Community arena. This will be the final appearance of the Generals in Whitby during the regular schedule. IT'S A LONG ROAD THAT BAS NO TURNING Town and County .. . Most people in the Whitby, Osh- awa area are plenty miffed at the move by Whitby manage- ment whereby they refused to let the Oshawa club move two Whitby vs. Oshawa scheduled games into the Whitby arena. District hockey fans are getting a great kick out of these contests between the two Ontario County rivals, and the additional attendance of Oshawa people in the Whitby arena has added a great many dollars to the Whitby Club's treasury. It's pretty small potato's that they couldn't let the Motor City fans see their favorites closer to home, plus the fact, the Whitby public could also take in these exciting games. . . . We also hear that the Whithy Arena Commis- sion is more than a little annoyed over this move, since it deprived them of some much-needed additional income, which in the end becomes the Whitby taxpayer's problem. «++ Oh well, it's a long road that has no turning !!!... Bob Nadin, referee in Tuesday's Marlboro-Oshawa clash should be feeling slightly sheepish if he happened to notice a photo- graph of the goal which he didn't see go into the Marlboro net, when shot by Generals Mike Dubeau. Where was he standing . . . at the other end of the rink? Who knows, this incompetent form of officiating may enter into the Oshawa playoff picture sometime in the near future. . . . Kingston Frontenac's playing assistant-coach Harry Sinden shifted over to the American Hockey League for one game with the injury-riddled Providence Reds. Boston Bruins, 'who sponsor Kingston, also have a working agreement with Providence, and loaned Sinden for last night's encounter at Buffalo because of the vast shortage of players... . Whitby's playoff chances were dampened somewhat when Bill Smith, a spark-plug of late, suffered a badly bruised shoulder Tuesday night. It was originally diagnosed as a shoulder separation. Fortunaieiy, he will return in two or three weeks time, and possibly sooner... . . Bill Collins con- tinues to compile scoring points at a frantic clip. His two goals and three assists against Brampton boosted his total to 12, in the last three games.
