NEWTONIAN 31 Melvin Kolisnyk, Honourable Mem¬ ber from Selkirk, is going to represent us at the Nation ' s Treaty of Peace. Not making enough wages to keep up with a girl in the fashion to which she is accustomed, he draws and sells pic¬ tures. He is a champion “late-slipper.” Eddie Gdyk, Honourable Member from West Selkirk is an all-round elec¬ trician and forger with a license for each. He is a hard worker and always helps Kolokoski’s cracks to be a push¬ over. Eddie plans to be an air gunner in a fighter plane. Peier Keller, The Minister of Defence, is a fast hockey player and a slow girl- getter. His awkward way of using “pause off” often gets him into trouble. Keller plans to join some part of the Armed Forces, hoping that he too may win honours as his brother did at Dieppe. Bill Buchko, brother of that fine but under-estimated Stephen P. Buchko, who knows that they are supposed to be twins, is an ardent admirer of fine work. He is always in the thick of work, being one of our chief innocents. Wilfred Leverion, The Honourable Member from Penningham, lost his port¬ folio of Minister of Mines and Natural Resources due to lack of interest. Main excuse for being absent is that he was looking for partridges with his father, having several rifles but no shells. He enjoys hunting and shooting. John Stroppa, The Honourable Mem¬ ber from Aberdeen, never hurries, and never worries. He is an amateur hockey and rugby player. He enjoys going to shops, where he makes classy models. One thing we don’t understand is where these pieces of art go. Steve Buchko, The Honourable Mem¬ ber from Galloway, is renowned for his good looks and fine sportsmanship in rugby, badminton and basketball. He wished to be another Nelson Eddy. A man with his ambition may some day be an actor if he puts into use his famous laugh which is known through¬ out the House. The remainder of the Legislative Chamber belongs to the Opposition Par¬ ty, and is often humorously referred to as the “brain-trust.” Harry Minuk, Honourable Member from P owers, slyly tries to act as the Minister of Supplies, with a profit in mind. He usually misses the most important meetings such as tests from any teacher. When this oc¬ curs he is found at the roller rink with others of his kind. He has many hob¬ bies, the favorite being collecting “Verses.” Edward Lewicki, the Honourable member from Alfred, says if he ever receives a portfolio, he wants it to be of the Department of Education. At many meetings he tried to bring up the problem of abolishing books. His reason may be that he doesn’t wish anyone else to get his idea of memorizing a book for each subject. Nestor Hreczka, The Honourable Gen¬ tleman from Picadilly is a very bashful member of the Opposition. One distinc¬ tive thing about him is that he has chosen and continually talks about his aim in life—to direct all Picardy Stores in Winnipeg, except the one he directs today. Eddie Semmer, The Honourable Mem¬ ber from Garlies, participated in all outdoor sports for us this year. He wishes to be a great statesman so that he can turn all schools into recreational centers. One thing that may hinder him is that he does not expect to remain single long enough, for already he in¬ vites us to his stag. Nick Wichnenko, Honourable Mem¬ ber from E. Aberdeen, says little, but accomplishes much—an especially good answer to a lady’s prayer. He’s a very good athlete, as well as an excellent student. He plays hockey and basket¬ ball but shows little interest in cycling and swimming. Walter Balagus, Honourable Member from Bookkeeping, also hits the high spots with young ladies. He uses Wally Stern as a name for his business—“The (Continued on page 85)
