The Warriors face a
stem test this weekend as
they go up against the two
Valley teams in the East.
It's Columbia Valley on
Saturday and Elk Valley on
Sunday. These two teams
banded their opponents a 31 loss for the leaders first
loss of the young season.
Rossland beat Elk Valley
in the game played in
Rossland by a 6-2 margin.
From the results so far it
looks like Creston is
making a much better
showing in the East this
season.
Looking over the

Rossland lineup it would
appear that one aspect of
their season so far is the
fact that they have bad
quite a number of different
people that can put the
puck in the net. Last
weekend Terry Ferguson
and John Howes both came
up with three-goal performances.
Well, the snow bas
started to fall in earnest
and I guess one could
safely say winter bas
arrived.
Big doings coming up in
the Legion during the next

week. First there's Vet's
banquet and dance
tomorrow night and then
the following Sunday it's
the big day, Nov. 11. There
will be another dance on
the Saturday evening
beforethal
Then, the Sunday after
that, Nov. 18, the branch
will host its Grey Cup do.
This year it will be brunch
served from 10 a.m. till
noon instead of the usual
breakfast. Tickets will be
on sale within the next few
days.
So, with that we'll say,
"Till next time!"

Quite a gang of local
people went down to the
last Lions game at B.C.
Place and from all reports
they all enjoyed the experience. I talked to Bert
Pengelly and Mike Kraftchick and both were loud in
their praise of the dome's
