Eighty-eight gold medals were pass- ed out at the open air closing cere- monies in Standoff at 8 p.m. following the finals in the cross country race and fastball. Although no aggregate winner was named, the toss-up would have to be between Bill Sewepagahan, I n s p o I worker now of Edmonton, and Yvette Qucsnellc of Standoff, winners of five medals in three categories, FASTBALI In men's fastball it was the hosting Blood Sis. and Hobbema who captured gold medals while Sarcee took the bronze.

ARCHERY Archery is a reminder of the William Tell days but when onlookers saw the skill and accuracy of the marksmen entered this event it was no funny matter. Louis W. Soop (Sonny), who has been a gold medalist many times over, and who has represented his province and country did it again the open division by adding another covetted award to his name. He also won the gold in the men's clout division. Jerry Wells who is new to the game through the efforts of Soop took the gold in heavy tackle, while the barebow senior section was won by Bill Sewepagahan with a gold and Terry Buffalo winning the silver. Two brother, Ricky and Rcnnie, sons of Sonny Soop were also gold medal winners in the juniorand cadet sections. Junior,Ken Omeosoowon a silver while Robert Russell and Leon Soop captured silver and bronze awards in the cadet division.

CANOEING Canoeing turned out to be the most popular sprt according to the fans although there were a few contestants in this event. Bill Sewepagahanbrought much of his northern talent home to the south as he captured the singleton win in canoeing over Littlechild and Bill Mistaken Chief. Although no other George Calliou competitors vied for the women's division in this event. Ester Tailfeathers wins a bronze in golf rounded the buoys in minute timing to Fastball-silver medalists win this event. The men's doubles also saw Sewe- pagahan team steal the gold over the Jim Well's team and the Lester Tail- ALBERTA feather's pair. Ester, in the doubles found a partner again to capture a gold in that event. Competitors in canoeing felt she has a talent in that event and should pursue it further.

Cost - *1285.00 per person (airfare- *427. 00, land cost-*858.OO) This is based on a 40 passenger. The price includes: -Return jetairfare from Calgary to Lisbon andreturning from Paris -Transfers from airport in Lisbon and to airport in Paris. -Sightseeing -3 meals a day throughout except in Paris where lunch is excluded and Rome where accommodations are based on bed and breakfast. -A driver and an escourt. -50% of the time the rooms will be equipped with private bath, -all accommodation based on excellent Second-Class hotels with good facilities.

The price of *855.00 per person for Land Arrangements is per bus with a minimum of 40 passengers so that if we end up with say 7$ passengers, we would haye one bus of 40 passengers at one rate and one at a 37 passenger rate which wouldprobably cost about about tfS.OO per head more.

The reason for this is that the fixed cost for the coach, driver, courier, etc. is determined by the actual number of passengers in the bus. You were also interested in exiting via Amsterdam. Here are tm ways we could do tbis: (1) Flying: Fly from Paris to Amsterdam, then home from Amsterdam to Calgary. Ti.is is what the airfare is presently based on. (2) Motorcoach: This could be easily done for approximately an additional! *10.00 per person. (a) one way by travelling directly from Heidelberg to Amsterdam (b) or by transferring from Paris Amsterdam on the last day. PILGRIMAGE GROUP
