WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1982 Let us think for ourselves There are three points of view in respect disarmament. Some Canadians, there are, who strongly and vigorously oppose the idea of nuclear disarmament for its suggestion of ultimate military weakness. Others fear, yet more, the dangers of a nuclear war and the destruction of the planet, with its suffering and evils for mankind. The third segment consists of those who have no opinion on the matter. It had been planned that the Gulf Islands people would take part in a national straw-vote on nuclear disarmament to ascertain the thinking of the little people of Canada. The vote meant nothing more than a guide to public opinion: a poll without any persuasive power. The sponsors of the vote are well aware that the federal government is unlikely to accept such a guide to national policy. But the representatives of the people of the region have decreed that there shall be no vote in the islands. The directors of the regional board have ruled that islanders may have no voice. If it were common practice to elect representatives to think for us, there would be no call for referendum votes. Any representative who was named to office to save us the trouble of thinking could well decide which referendum might be approved Spending what we dont have and which denied.

Every player on the team worked hard and deserve full credit for their effort, but unfortunately they worked hard as individuals, and not as a team. The Sting are only in their first season together and will require 48 <""V" more game experience to click as a good team. Gorge, on the other hand, have been together for years, and it is evident from their play that they know each other's moves. FROM FREE KICK The Sting opened the scoring 15 minutes into the first half of a goal by Chris Koski. It came as a result of a free kick by centre-half Dave McColl, who chipped the ball over Gorge's defence. Gorge's keeper came out to smother the ball but mishandled it, allowing Chris to take control and put the Sting ahead 1-0. At the time it seemed that Gorge's goalie was a little weak, but by the end of the game it was obvious that just the opposite was a typical layout true as he made many spectacular saves to keep Gorge in the game, and was by far the strongest part of their team. Gorge scored late in the first half to tie the game, and halfway through the second-half to register the win.
