Last weekend there was
a slow-p,tcb tournament in
Rossland and a lot of fun
was had by all.

This event has been
• going on for a number of
yean under the steward.ship of a couple of Rossland
residents whose names are
synonomous with slowpitch, Kenny Dixon and
cam Jensen. They have
been at it for a long time
and have got to know what
it's all aboul When we
have a tourney in
Rossland, people come
from all over because they
know that it will be a first.
class tournament and also
they know that the main
thing is not what you win
, but, the good time you had
doingil
This tournament is very
well run and to listen to the
guys who come from a long
way off to take part in it
there is no way they would
miss it. We meet old
friends and really enjoy,
so, as the man said, "What
else is there?"
The Animals from
Calgary were the ultimate
winnera after two games on
Saturday which they won
over the Sneaky's team
from Elkford and the
Higbliners from Salmon
Ann, and two on Sunday
when they were successful
against the Kamloops Kats
and then in the final ovet
the Rossland Scrap.
Presentation ceremonies
followed the completion of
play and everyone went
home happy. I think it
would be safe to say they'll
be back again next year.
Paul Anderson was in
charge of the officiating
staff and I didn't bear any
complaints; it's an Anderson trademark that a
good job be done. I talked
to several of bis assistants
and I didn't bear any
second-guessing.

I also talked to Claire
Anderson and he showed
me some pictures of bis son
Kevin, this young man is
into the body-building
business and the pictures
tend to prove that be

had 39 out on the upper
course on a beautiful day.
Ron Gardner and Romeo
DiBiasio were in charge of
a round of Bingo, Bango,
Bongo, hidden bole, high
and longest putt on number
eight. You might question
this last one, but if you've
ever played it you would
know that it takes a pretty
good shotmaker to bold bis
putt on that new green,
anyway, John Piva took the
honors for eleven points in
B.B.B. followed by Peter
Huse, Morris SaWYer, .Don
Krug and Carl Seefeldt
with 10 points each, the '
longest putt on the same
hole was won by Joe
Biagioni with a 10 foot
downhiller, Guy Morey had
the good fortune to do the
right thing on the correct
bole, he had an eight on
number seven, while your
writing friend had a nine on
number six. Next week we
shall have a Rossland duo
at the helm, Bart Dudley
and Carl Osing. Who knows
what they will dream up.
Carl suggested putters only

number of people who have
the welfare of the branch
foremost in their minds at
this time. They voted to
serve notice to their
striking employees and
lock-out will take effect
over the weekend. There
was never much doubt
about where the majority
of the membership stood
when it came to showing
the executive they had a lot
of confidence in the way
this situation has been
handled. A whole lot of
people who do not attend all
Legion functions for one
reason or another, flocked
into the meeting room
downstairs to give their
support to their branch.
One unpleasant aspect of
this situation is the
distribution of scab
literature by some of the
striking members, the
people who did this did not
take into consideration the
fact that everyone who
thinks enough of the Legion
to pay dues and play a part
in the organization is a
part-owner of the building
and as such is only
protecting their own
property by crossing that
picket line.
Till next week, then!
