é ‘Surprise Party for
Pastor’s Birthday

Rev. Father Barnes, pastor of
St; Rita's parish ‘in Castlegar, re-
cently celebrated his 28th birth-
birthday? As a memento of the
happy occasion, a surprise party
was held in his honor, the same

_ evening at the home of Mr. and
“Mrs. Walter. Fields.
‘;Having been invited to the
Field’s residence for the suppos-
_ed purpose of a quiet canasta
y.game after ‘the weekly Lenten
devotions, Father suspected noth-
ing of what was to follow when
he entered his hosts’ front door.
on his entry into the living room,
a chorus of birthday felicitations
greeted him, voiced by a dozen
of his parishioners, gathered
there for the occasion. In tok-
en of their esteem and, congra-
tulations, the group then pre
sented thei? astonished ‘guest: of
honor with a novelty change-
purse, containing cash donations
from each of them.

Father expressed. his apprecia-
tion for the gesture. The - eve-

-ning was then devoted to card
games with canasta and bridge
being featured. A delicious lunch
of ,coffee, sandwiches and cakes,
served by the hostess, was the
finishing touch to a very enjoy-
able evening.

Present at the party were: Mr.
and Mrs. Glen Anderson; Mr.
and Mrs. Al Reid; Mr. and Mrs.
W. Fields, Mr. and Mrs. L. Le-
Faive;: Mrs. A. Oleski, Miss B.
Conroy, R. Ulmi and V. Misutka.

SPORT TRAILS

(By Len Walker)

Last Friday night saw | the
high school boys win their sec-
ond game’ this year when they
fought hard from the opening
whistle until the end of the game
to defeat the China Clippers, a
Chinese team from Nelson, 32
to 25. **

The locals took an early lead
and never were headed. By half
time they‘led 20 to 11.

Johnny Ross was the big gun
for the loéals notching 9 points,
while Don Bates playing for Nel-
son also picked up 9 markers.
The Chinese boys, - especially
Lawrence and Sam Mah were
very impressive as they got 6
points each.

RAYMOND. DEFEATS

Castlegar saw some top notch
basketball on Monday night when

Corbett picked up 6. For Trail
it was Chief Buna 20, Alexander

here next year as it’s rumored
around these parts that these

If it is so, then we should have

At this time of writing, “the
Toronto Maple Leafs‘are on the
brink of elimination as Detroit
have won three straight games
from the Leafs in the semi finals
by scores of 3 to 0, 1 to 0 and
6 to 2.

Montreal Canadiens lead. Bos-
ton Bruins 2 games to 1. Be-
lieve it or not Edmonton Pats
lead Trail Smoke Eaters 2
games to 1 and to think I picked
Trail in 5 games which just goes
to prove that sport writers can
be wrong too.

Rennie Mitchell leaves on
Thursday with the Trail Motors
for Vancouver to play in_ the
playoffs for the B. C. title. Good
luck, Trail! ®
