O Canada

                                                                 
The people dearest to Americans in the whole world, just about the dearest people there are, are celebrating tonight.  Canadians are celebrating--what else--ice hockey. In late June. On May 19 the National Hockey League moved back to the Manitoba prairie after an absence of fifteen years. And tonight they got back their team's name. The Winnipeg "Jets" are reborn and The True North rejoices.

This is Public Occurrences.
