This week's retirees golf at the upper course
was by far the best day and the best attendance
we've bad all season, with 75 golfers out. As I told
you last week, two gentlemen by the names of St.
Jean and Proulx were to run things. But by the time
I arrived they bad things under control and Marcel
went out in a foursome and Joe Riley was helping
Herbie. I didn't expect to see Joe because he was
supposed to be in Mexico watching the World Cup,
but there was a foul-up in the arrangements and Joe
decided to watch bis on TV.
Anyday, back to golf. We played the white tees,
low gross, low net and closest to the pin on number
five witli Sam Anselmo winning the gross with a 38,
closely followed by Jack Buchanan with a 39.
Marcel Proulx won the low net followed by Al Rella
and Vic Bordin and Chris Cbristlanson was closest
to the pin on number five with a putt left of about 25
feet for bis birdie.
Next week Chris and I will be in charge and I've
been wracking my brains for something new. I did
suggest everyone play cross-banded, but people
seem to think that this would give Chris and Bob
Evans, who both play that way, an unfair advantage. So I'll talk to Chris and we'll dream up
something. You know you'll have fun anyway, so
come on out and enjoy.
Three weeks away is the Legion zone golf
tournament at New Denver. June 7.8 is the date and
this year it is being thrown open to all members,
ordinary, associate, fraternal, and L.A., to participate. This is a first and we shall see bow it is
going to work. I have not beard yet if they are going
to apply these rules to the East-West event in
Creston later this summer. Maybe they are waiting
to see bow this one comes out.
The Canadian soccer team showed a lot of
moxie in their first-ever World Cup contest. I was
happy to see a really well-played contest. Actually
the score could ba\r.e been much higher in France's
favor but they missed a lot of perfect cbancea.
However, it only took one goal to do it. I thought
Canada could have bad a goal or two but it was not
to be. Playing in the section they are in which is
· probably the toughest of them all. Tbe Soviets,
Hungary and France are all good and have a lot of
soccer experience behind them, while Canada is
coming in new to this type of competition.
I didn't see them play in their first game but
people who did say the Soviets are really something.
We'll just have to hope our guys can give us a good
show in the game against them and hope they won't
have too much to be ashamed of.
I beard a rumor that the Trail-Port Moody
fitness participation .contest ended in a tie: Is this
the final result or are they going to give us some
morefigures?
The gardens around t<,wn are starting to show
some life with last week's change in the weather
picture. Let's hope that we get some suitable
weather for the things that are now growing. I hope
we don't get any weather that will set them back as
bas happened previously.

One of our senior citizens in Rossland, who

drive and accompany him on a trip down east. His
one request as to qualifications ii that they don't
snore. So if any one with time on their bands wants
to visit that part of Canada DOW'S your chance.
And with that I'll say,
'Til next time, then!
