THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1952 CASTLE NEWS, Castlegar, British Columbia (By Len Walker) DOMINOES LOSE TWO. GAMES The Castlegar Dominoes | are finding the going very tough in the Trail’ Basketball League these days, On Wednesday in Trail: they lost to the Trail. Motors crew by a 51 to 30 count and then again on Saturday they ° were defeated -by Rossland Royals by a 41 to 26 score. The odd thing about these two games was the fact that they Jost both of’ them in the first half. On Wednesday. both teams failed to collect a point in the second half, and on Saturday each team got 12 points in the final half. The big question today is “Are the Dominoes a half a game team?” In witnessing :Saturday’s game here the boys didn’t seem, to have that old college try that they had before Christmas. They weren't passing the ball enough, and as coach Mitchell said they were overanxious. Some of the boys played good in spots. Maybe what the boys need is a good crowd out to see them, for Saturday evening there was a very small crowd on hand partly due to the snow and pos- sibly due to lack of advertising by the basketball team. THROUGH THE HOOP Buzz Nutini collected 10 points for Castlegar and after he sees action in a few more games LEITNER’S CLOTHING OUR SPECIALS...

Rennie Mitchell, although not playing his usual good game, did manage to top the Dominoes with 11 points. Gee _ Gee Forte was on his best. be- haviour, he didn’t pick up a foul in the game, but then again he didn’t pick up any- points either... . Castlegar had 14 free throws » but could only:pick up 4 points. Lavoratto and . Nicol led’ Ross- land with 13 and 12 points re- spectively. ~ LOSE AGAIN Monday evening over in Ross land the Dominoes lost their fifth * straight game, but, in doing so the boys played a much better brand of ball and but for the fact that they didn’t have enough reserve strength the boys would _ have gone on to win. The game was moved by two accidents, one to Gee Gee Forte who was knocked out with only five minutes to go in the game, and one to Craig Ross of the Royals who broke a finger in the second quarter. Rennie Mitchell topped the point getters with 15. Gee Gee Forte had 8. Laface and Lavar- atto each collected 8 points for the Royals. By far the outstanding player on the floor was “Buckets” Hughes who although going scoreless played an aggressive game and was responsible for keeping the Royals. Castlegar will meet the Trail Lumbermen tonight at our local gym. See you all there. .

I've realized vaguely that they were neces- sary and useful pieces of machin- ery. But now, just these ‘last few days I’ve developed a very personal grudge against them.

I have often made the some- what unpopular statement that I like the snow. I still do, but what gripes me these days is so much of it all in one place, main- ly across my path. I must ad-’ mit the snow plow has done a wonderful job of clearing the roads, but why oh why does he suddenly decide to go home and stop short about 50 yards from my doorstep? I. find it so inconvenient and difficult ‘to fight my way through these ‘monstrous mounds, then when I finally emerge on the other side my enthusiasm for Snow has dropped to zero. In spite of all this, I just can- not imagine spending a snow- less winter. Just think how ter- ribly dull it would be with no snow to moan about and no cold biting winds or wintry blasts to wish away. All in all though spring is going td look pretty wonderful to a lot of us this year. BIRTHDAY PARTY A very successful birthday party was * held at the home of Langpap for young . age 4 and Linda age 2. There were ten guests invited and they played “pin the tail on the cat” and “hide the but- ton.” The cake was nicely dec- orated with candles for Lyle on one side while Linda’s two gleam- ed from the other. A few of the mothers dropped in later thus rounding out a perfect after- ~ noon. Assisting Mrs. Langpap in serving and amusing the kid- kies were Miss Regina Campbell and Miss Louise Delorme. A LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Sir:— After reading your editorial in Yast week’s issue, we cannot help but agree with your point of view in regards to the operation of the high school auditorium. We definitely feel that the board’s policy in respect to the leasing of the building for public func- tions will have to be broadened. We the undersigned had_ the privilege of meeting the board, before and during, the construc- tion of this contentious building. While we must admit that Mr. Clay, who was then the _ in- spector, did the majority of the talking while pointing out the use the public would receive from this investment, we never- theless cannot help but recall that denials of his statements were not forthcoming from our board. We would naturally as- sume that they were in agree- ment. We would suggest that the Schoo] Board come forth publicly with a definite policy in regards to the leasing of the auditorium for public functions. Be it as it may, but at least let the pro- cedure be known. You mention the possible reno- vation of the old hall building. May we repeat again that, while this is naturally not an impos- sibility, it is not considered sound business. This is the verdict of the C. M. and S. Company’s building inspector and as a re- sult, the company will not con- sider extending any financial aid under their district 2 for 1 plan, if, Castlegar intends to spend any of their money on the reno- vation of the old hall. You don’t have to take our word for this. Find out for your- self. We are only trying to lend a guiding hand. Yours truly, GERRY H. WANLESS. CARL M. LOEBLICH.
