Quellet said. “It brings back a
part of Canadian history and
heritage that has for too long
been buried in testbooks.””

The Pacific Coast Indians at
one time-lived in inlet villages
along a coastal area some 200
miles wide by 900 miles long
that stretched from the lower
mainland to the panhandle of
Alaska.

Architectural masterpieces
such as the original west coast
tatem poles were examples of
the. Pacific Indians’ great
craftmanship. Basket-making

_ and weaving were skillfully

‘gecomplished. Well developed
art forms were highly stylized
and full. of. symbolic meaning.

The potlateh, from (he Nootka
word meaning “giving”, was an

integral part of the Pacific

Coast Indians’ cullural fabric.
It was a spiritual ceremony. of
‘feasting, dancing and gift -
giving that enhanced the native
host in the eyes of his
tribesmen, ©

General Publishing of On-
tario, the patent company of
Paper Jacks, sent a delightful
Christmas preseat this year. A
total of five paper back books
arrived for review of December
24. Today we'll look at two of
them, Harry Sinden’s Hockey
Showdown ard Harry J, Boyle’s

latest novel, The Great
* Canadian Novel.
HOCKEY

Th NHL-USSR eight ganie
hockey series 1972 is, ap-

praaching ancient history now °

-but the release of the paper-
back edition of Hockey Show-

citement of those eight games

® back for tho ardéft Canadian
a hockey fan, .
_* Sinden's book, culled from a

diary or log he kept during. the

Iraining, travelling and play of

thal series, glves what the
book's cover says 1s an ‘Inside
Story’ of Unc historic series.

H.ckey Show-Down contains
a number of photographs from
newspapers and wire services
and is amply illustrated with
anecdotes involving ihe players
and men behind ihe scenes in
the series, The book starls off

the ex-.

light and entertaining but as the
book progresses, so does Sin-
den’s paranoia and his feelings
of outrage al the series.

For example, in writing of the
coaches room in the Moscow
Arena where the series finished,
Sinden writes thal the fact that
he and his assistant John
Ferguson could not find any
‘bugging’ equipment was not

. because of the possibility that

there was none bul rather

- because he and ‘Fergie’ would

make poor spies. Towards the

: end of the book he is ‘accusing

the Russian coach Bobrov of
having the referees for’ the
series on a payroll to insure thal
the Russians win tie series.
This peitiness on the part ot
‘Sinden interrupts the book and
interferes with whal should be a
smoothly flowing manuscript:
showing what went on in ihe

_ tind of Harry: Sinden. during

those Septernber days.
For hockey: fans the book
shauld prove’ immensely in-
leresting as it goes through Ihe
routine leading lo Lhe games,
the work-outs, the scouting, the
decisions Sinden had to make
and some of the reasons for
somethings which were wrong
with the series, suchas the
ineligibility of such greal
Canadian hockey stars as J.C.
Tremblay and -Bobby Hull.
Despite his protests to in-
nocence by the way, Sinden was

‘as rauch responsible fer - this

over-sight as anyane. Ina lelter
he wrote . oullining: player
eligibility for the series he
slated that eligible players
must. be signed to ‘a standard
NHL contract for the "1973-74
season. His reason for this is
that he didn't seriously believe
thal anyone of Hull's -abilily
would change leagues. »

All Canadians followed the .

series with great inferest,
flagging doubls and; finally,
buming fanatical nationalism.
The book reflects (hese stages.
Hockey Show-Down lells a little
of what went -on behind ‘the
scenes, a biased report, bu! one
worth reading. :

Boyle, a prolific author ‘with

extensive use of ‘ilash-backs’ to

The flash-backs are never ~

cumbersome and never in-

novel, they enhance it..

The book is tightly written, a
