The 1974 National Soccer League season was the fifty-first season under the National Soccer League (NSL) name. The season began in April and concluded in late October with Toronto Croatia defeating Toronto Homer for the NSL Championship. The regular-season title was clinched by the Serbian White Eagles, and as a result, faced the Challenge Trophy champions Calgary Springer Kickers for the Canadian Open Cup and successfully claimed the title. The NSL Cup was won by Toronto Italia after defeating Toronto First Portuguese.

The league experienced a further increase in match attendance and contributed an instrumental role in the construction of Lamport Stadium. Toronto Croatia became involved with the Toronto Metros to form Toronto Metros-Croatia to compete in the 1975 North American Soccer League season.

Overview 
The membership in the league increased to 19 members with the additions of Toronto Macedonia, and the Quebec Selects. The Selects were a developmental team sponsored by the Quebec government, and Macedonia was another ethnic associated club that represented the Macedonian diaspora in Toronto. The previous time the Macedonian community participated in the NSL was in the 1963 season. The increase in teams prompted the league ownership to partition the league into two separate divisions with a promotion and relegation system for the following season.

The average match attendance increased from the previous season with the Serbian White Eagles and Toronto Homer as the vanguard clubs in match attendance. The match attendance throughout the NSL would range from 10,000 to 400 spectators. The NSL experienced further riots and fan violence which was primarily fueled by ethnic rivalries amongst the ethnically associated clubs. The frequent hooliganism throughout the season caused several referees to refuse to officiate several NSL matches. The league responded by issuing heavier fines, and suspensions to the responsible parties. On the North American Soccer League front the Toronto Metros were experiencing financial difficulties, which resulted in Toronto Croatia becoming an equal financial partner to form Toronto Metros-Croatia.

Serbian White Eagles were the NSL representative for the 1974 competition while their opponents were Calgary Springer Kickers, who were the Alberta Cup, and Challenge Trophy titleholders.

Early life
Joanne Clarkson was born in Manus Province in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Her father died when she was still unborn and her mother later remarried, to John Clarkson, an Australian, whose surname Joanne took. In 1996, at the age of 19, she was working as a teacher's assistant at the Our Lady of Sacred Heart International School (OLSH) in Kavieng, New Ireland Province, when her parents applied for her take part in a training programme to become a member of the police force.

George Lafayette Carter (1857–1936) was an American entrepreneur known as "the empire builder of southwest Virginia."  His ventures led to the development and modernization of many parts of the southern Appalachian region during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Biography

George Lafayette Carter was born on January 10, 1857, in Hillsville, Virginia.  The first of nine children, he learned at a young age that farm life was not suitable for his ambitions.  As a child, he read many great works including The Bible and Benjamin Franklin's autobiography.

Carter worked at the Hillsville General Store before pursuing a career of selling iron ore properties with the Wythe Lead and Zinc Company in Austinville, Virginia.  He then found work with the Dora Furnace Company in Pulaski, Virginia, buying small mines throughout the area to provide coke for the furnaces.  Carter would found the Tom's Creek Coal and Coke Company and in 1898, combine his operations to form the Carter Coal and Iron Company before forming the Virginia Iron, Coal, and Coke Company headquartered in Bristol, Virginia, in 1899.

With the help of New York City financiers, he would also form the Clinchfield Coal Company, which owned 300,000 acres of land throughout southwest Virginia.  Carter's most reputable creations would be that of the Carolina, Clinchfield, and Ohio Railway and the development of the town of Kingsport, Tennessee.  The creation of the railroad would further develop and open up the southern Appalachian region.

Carter would spend the years of 1907 and 1920 living in Johnson City, Tennessee, where he helped in the creation of a state teacher's college in 1911, known today as East Tennessee State University.  Despite Carter's fame, he kept himself out of the headlines by owning the Bristol Herald, known today as the Bristol Herald-Courier.

Carter would also plan and create the coal towns of Coalwood, West Virginia, and Caretta, West Virginia.  Coalwood would later become famous as the boyhood home of the Rocket Boys and Homer Hickam.  Other operations would include the Carter Coal and Dock Company which operated in New York, Boston, Providence, and Bridgeport.  Carter maintained offices throughout the eastern part of the country, and died in Washington, D.C., in 1936.  He is buried in Hillsville, Virginia.

In 2007, the George L. Carter Railroad Museum opened on the East Tennessee State University campus.

The Junqua Ibis RJ03 is a wooden tandem seat pusher canard light aircraft, designed in France in the early 1990s for building at home. Eleven have flown and others remain under construction.

Design and development

The first canard aircraft designed and built by Roger Junqua was the one-off Volucelle RJ02, first flown by the designer's son Jean-Claude in 1985. This, the first modern French canard, was used as a development vehicle to refine the final Ibis design.  The Ibis first flew in 1991 and retains much in common with the Volucelle both in general layout and in some detail, though it has a more powerful Volkswagen engine. It is designed to be homebuilt from plans, not from a kit; its structure is entirely constructed from spruce or similar wood, covered with birch and Gaboon mahogany plywood.

The Ibis is a single engine pusher canard, with swept mainplanes carrying swept endplate fins and rudders. These rear wings have constant chord, so all the plywood ribs are identical for ease of construction, and are built around a constant cross section box spar.  They are then filled with styrodur foam before the plywood skin is applied.  There is no dihedral or washout. Full span flaperons provide roll control.  The vertical surfaces are made in a similar way and extend both above and below the wing, incorporating rudders for yaw control.  The canard fore wing is again similarly made but is unswept; it has constant chord with rounded tips and has no dihedral or washout.  It carries slotted elevators for pitch control.

The fuselage of the Ibis is built around four wooden longerons and plywood covered, with single curvature sides and bottom.  Pilot and passenger are seated in tandem under a long, single-piece, Junqua-supplied canopy, with the rear seat at the leading edge root of the mainplane; there is storage space behind the passenger's seat. The pusher engine is close to the trailing edge, driving a two blade propeller.  A variety of ungeared flat four engines in the 45-60 kW (60-80 hp) can be used; Ibis have flown with Volkswagen 1835 and 1870 cc, Limbach L2000 and Jabiru 2200 motors. The Ibis has a fixed tricycle undercarriage with mainwheels, which may be spatted, mounted from the fuselage on laminated plywood legs.  The nosewheel has a rocker type rubber shock absorber and is steerable via the rudder pedals.

Operational history
Eleven Ibis had been built and flown by 2012, eight in France and one each in the Netherlands, Slovenia and the USA.  41 others remain under construction worldwide, six of which appear on the French civil aircraft register.
