serlous concern to the branch,
controls appear excessively re-
strictive and would affect over
140,000 licenced hunters in
British Columbia as well as
many others such as ranchers
and native people, stated Dr.
Hatter. The director added that
British Columbia already con-
trols the use of firearms by
licencing all people who carry
firearms, and he is not satisfied
that the additional proposed
licence and regulations would
have any effect on criminal use
of guns.

Alter last week's hectic
activities it almost seoms as

_ though this-has been a bit of a

lull, Men's Night is rapidly

; rounding into shape with 88

members out chasing after
those olusive balls last. Wed-
nesday,

The game ‘was that’ old

‘ favorite, Bingo, Bango, Bongo
> and was very. well handled by-

the team of Keith Allingham, B,
Gerlat and Bill. Cheveldave.
When the air had'cleared and

} the divots stopped flying ‘the

lucky men were as follows:
Ralph Scott led the pack’
with 12 big ones. Right 'on his
heels were a bunch of hungry
hunters at 21; Des Desai, Alex
Ferworn, Nick \Sheratobitoff:
and Walter JanickL Right be-
hind at 10 were Joe Kary, Carl

A Grade 11° student at
Stanley Humphries Secondary
School, Cammie La Pointe,
placed eighth in the provincial
trampoline fipals in West Van-
couver, April 23 and 24,

Misa La Pointe had just’

over'a week'a notice about the
competition and had to learn a
compulsory. and optional rou-
tine in that time. Competition
was'extremely keen, and her
eighth place showing was con-
sidered very good considering
the short time she had to
practice.

Miss La Pointe is well-,

known in the area for her.

Walker and Mike Ogloff. A
coupla of 9's rounded out the
ball winners—Dick Wayling
and Phil Gorkoff,

There were 23 balls hand:
ed out all together, but J have
no idea as to how the remainder
were disposed of. From the
sketchy information I have, I
believe there was a draw of
some sort and I understand
Dick Wayling was the lucky
man. I can only pass along the
dope as I get it and I'm afraid I
am no mind-reader,

Next week's Men's Night
will be run by the team headed
by Laurie Palibroda and I am
informed that the game for that
particular bash will be Two
Ban Best Ball,

‘Thursday morning saw a
fair increase in the number of
seniors taking part. Bert Lamb
and Tony Schiavon were the
culprits for the morning’s activ-
ities and did their usual bangup
job. Since the’ handicaps
haven't been established yet,
everybody was sent out to see
what they could do using
nothing but irons,

In order to be fair with

, everyone, a round dozen names

were drawn out.of the hat by
two members of the fair sex
who happened to be present.
Elsie Rysen and Irene Sheridan
did a good job since they drew
my name in the bunch. Other
winners were Bill Naylor, Per-
ey Brown, Ed Schulte, Bill
Waldie, Steve Rysen (Steve's
name. had to be drawn or Elsie
would have had to walk home),
Cecil Bradford, Joe Killough,
Reg Symons. S.Y.A.0., Tony
Schiavon, Ernie Newman and
Otto Walker Sr.

This morning the events
will be looked after by Pete
Murphy and Otto Walker Sr. I
still have no idea as to what
they are cooking up but I still
think it will be good. This will
be the last Thursday that the
gang will be getting together
since the grounds’ crew have

asked us to change our morn-.

Dr. Hatter stated that
these were some of the factors
which concern him and which
have led the Fish and Wildlife
Branch to oppose the federal
gun control proposal as. pres:
ently drafted.

He urges all hunters and
other legitimate users of fire-
arms to communicate their
views to their Members of ‘
Parliament in Ottawa.

f equal concern to Dr.
Hatter is that the proposed
federal controls are directed
mainly at the legitimate hunter,
trapper. and other firearm
users, rather than at the
criminal in our metropolitan
cities,

the golf, the majority decision
was for Wednesday 80. that is
when the old youngaters will be
cavorting in future.’

Don't forget! Wednesday
mornings starling May 12, any
time after 8 a.m,

An interesting little cere-
mony took place following the
meeting when Earl LeRoy and
Mike installed the nice shiny
ball washer that the Seniors
had bought with the proceeds
from the CAN last ‘year. It
makes a very nice addition to
the clubhouse. area and has
caused quite a number of
‘complimentary remarks from
the other members.

Another item that cxmo vse
at that meeting was the request
from the ‘men's club for the
Seniors to act as ball spotters in
the upcoming Sunflower Open
‘Tournament, A pretty fair list
has been drawn up and the boys
stand ready to serve when and
where needed.

Speaking of the Sunflower
‘Open, it takes place the week-
end of June 5th and 6th and is
already overdrawn. Late en-

‘tries will have to depend on

dropouts, but there usually are
a small number of these so, if
you would still like to enter,
you should get your name in to
Denny right away.

The next big event on the
Club Calendar is the Mickey's
Calcutta playoffs. This take
place this Saturday, and Jake
Koenig has kindly given me the
list of tee times. Here they are
by captains:

‘The Calcutta Auction will
have been held last night
following the Men's Night
round and it is to be
hoped that it was well patron-
lzed since this is the first
money-maker of the year's
activities.

On April 24 and -25,
Brent Fletcher, a grade 7
student at Twin Rivers,
competed for the second
year in the British Colum-,
bia gymnastics finals at

Most competitors
were from Vancouver and
Vancouver Island and were
professionally coached.

‘The local lad, who had
just two-and-a-half weeks’
practice for his compulsory
and optional routines,
placed ‘third in the floor
exercise and came fourth
overall’ in .the "optional
routines, which included

A Tribute fo the Midget Reps

This is a tribute to a real fine team,
You won third in Provincials, and our esteem.
It wasn’t all fun for.there was sacrifice,
Like the Christmas holidays, spent on the ice.
A spring break of work, the girls left behind, -
Getting ready for play,.was all the time you could find."
The weekends of practice cut into your fun,
But still you were there to get the job done.
For nine it is over, you Midget Rep play, *
It rings notes of sadness, I have to say. ~
You'll treasure your memories through years to come,
How you learned to skate, play the game and have fun.
For the nine other players, who have one year more,
You have a year of good things lying in store.
Then 18 will look back at the good times they had,
And you'll all have known friendship, to make you feel glad.
Let it be known parents have memories too,
Little boys a few years ago, oh how you grew.
But the one thing we've learned, it was easy to see,
‘Was the fine thing between you, we call unity.
Qh, you can play hockey, as sure as the sun,
But to us you're good people, and that’s number one.

Will each one come forward, to receive his award,
"These are not symbols of goals that were scored, *
But little momentos to honor each guy,

For bringing us pleasure, that money can't buy.

‘The three men that backed you, would they come up too?
