This is quite a special week for all of us guys
who served in the Armed Forces and came back
afterwards. One of the main reasons it is so special
is because maybe the only time in any year when a
lot of us get a chance to think and remember those
who went away along with us and did not come
back.

Those boys were just as happy-go-lucky as the
rest of us but they weren't so lucky in the final
analysis. We came back but an awful lot of them
didn't. Some people try to sell you that war and all
that happened during those days is best forgotten.
But as far as I'm concerned I feel it is only right for
us, who were spared, to return to remember for one
day a year those guys whom we went on to leave
with. The job we have at hand is ensure that we do
not forget. Keep repeating over and over while
passing the word along so that they will get the
message that we try to put over every Remembrance Day. It is our duty never to lE:t anyone forget
it!

Well, Retirees curling is under way and in the
early going three rinks remained undefeated after
two games. They are Norm Harry, Roy Fines and
Russ Broughton. Roy is newly into the Retirees
club, Norm has been there before and Russ has
played steadily since we got the club started. I don't
have all the rosters of these teams at hand but one of
these days I'll give you all that story. I was over to
the club this morning and everyone seemed to be
enjoying things, our rink curled the afternoon
today.
The ladies are underway but I haven't heard
any news of their play so far, that news will all come
back to me sooner or later.
Now to hockey and the fortunes of the Warriors.
Last weekend I watched the game against the
Rebels on Friday night but since Saturday was our

Veterans Banquet I could not make it to Trail. My
thoughts as I left the arena on Friday were a little
mixed up. What happened in the late stages of the
third period? I still don't know if they put in another
goalie or not but it seemed to me that every time a
Rebel shot it was a goal
Someone said the Warriors went to sleep on the
job. It certainly looked like something went wrong.
On Friday nighat they go to Castlegar for a
return engagement and on Sunday they entertain
one of the top teams in the East when Columbia
Valley Rockies pay a call for a 2 p.m. date. The
Warriors could certainly use some points if they
don't want the Rebels to get too far ahead and these
weekend games are going to be a tough way to earn
them. The Rockies are tied at the top of the East
Division with Spokane, so they are not going to be
any pushovers.
I have been approached by some of the members of Rossland Eagles Aerie No. 10 to see if the
Legion would be interested in maybe a Sunday date
to get together and play some mixed curling. I have
not talked to enough people to get a feeling on the
subject from Branc No. 14 members. But I'll give it
a try.
In closing I would like to say I believe the fans
are starting to show up for tpe Warrior games at the
arena in larger numbers now. It would sure be nice
to see a full house like we used to.
P .S.: A late note just handed me today, the L.A.
are holding a luncheon in the Lower Legion Hall on
November 14 from 12 to 3 p.m. Charge is $1 per
person. That is the morning of the Warrior banquet
at the Miners Hall. Tickets are still available for
that event.
And on that note I think I'll call this one off, so
'Til next time, then!
