In Boys Jr. A volleyball, it was Thornhill Jr, Secondary School against Kitimat's Mt. Elizabeth Secondary School in the final match. The Thornhill squad lost out to Kitimat 15-10, 15-6, giving Ml. Elizabeth top spot. The best match by far in junior boys play, however, was the semi-final round between Thornhill Jr. Secondary School and Skeena Jr. Secondary School. Thornhill won the first game 15-10, but fost the second game-by a similar 15- 10margin. At one point in the final contest, it looked as though Skeena would take it, as they held 9-0, 12-3, and 14-7 jeads during the game. Thornhill staged a tremendous comeback, though, and when the match was over, it was Thornhill winning it with a 16-14 vic- tory in the final game, giving them a berth in the finals. The final standings in junior boys play saw Kitimat on top, followed by Thornhill Jr. Secondary School, Skeena Jr. Secondary School, and Port Simpson.

The girls, eager for a chance to travel, chose to play the match in Smithers, at a fulure date yet to be named, Persson a dark horse NEW YORK (iAP) — Nobody paid Stefan Persson a million dollars to come to North America. His signing with New York Islanders didn’t turn many heads. His new coach had never seen him play before he came to training camp. Swedish imports may be all the rage in the National Hockey League nowadays, but defenceman Persson hardly was the most sought | after player in Scandinavia before joining the Islanders last season. Today, any team would like to have him an- choring its rearguard. o “Stef really knows how to. play this game,” said Islanders coach Al Arbour, the man who hadn't set eyes on Persson prior to Sep- tember, 1977. “‘We relied ona tip we got from a friend in Sweden. He said he thought Stef could play for us. He didn’t say thal Stef could play for anybody.” In his rookie season, Persson set an NHL record for raokie defencemen with 6 assists (he scored sip goals). An excellent passer, he was placed on the point of the Islanders power play, the most polent in the NHL the Terrace season before. He didn't hurt its production. “© ~° . “He knows how to get the puck to the set,” noted Arbour. "And he is some passer. Heis the perfect type of player for that position." Persson, 23, passes the puck as well as anybody, including Toronte Maple Leafs defenceman Borje Salming, generally con- sidered the best passer inthe fame. Salming preceded Persson as the No. 1 defen- ceman with Brynas of the Swedish Hockey League, then starred for the Swedish national team before joining the Maple Leafs in 1973. Rotary Radio, T.V.

With this change, UI benefits will more accurately reflect your local employment Insurance respons to conditions British Columbia. BRITISH COLUMBIA employment conditions. It’s all part of a plan announced over a year ago. Each of these new 48 regions will have its own unemployment rate. This will set the length of time a claimant must have worked to become eligible for Un- employment Insurance benefits. And it will govern the length of benefits as well. There’s nothing new about the system itself—it’s just being measured more finely in 48 regions, rather than 16. The length of time a claimant must work to get UI remains the same. It varies from 10 to 14 weeks, depending on the unemployment rate where the claimant lives. And regionally-based benefits have the same maximum. The change will only affect those whose UI claims start after November 12, This map and the information with it will show you the new economic boundarics in your area.
