SPORT TRAILS

(By Len Walker)

The Castlegar Dominoes .on
Saturday evening stopped the sec-
ond place Trail Motormen cold
at our local gym when Rennie
Mitchell and company played in-
spiring ball in the last quarter
to win by a very close 26 to 23
margin.

Sharpshooter Rennie Mitchell
was the star of the evening pot-
ting no less than 21 of his team’s
26 markers.

The game was fast and rough
and with but a minute to play
the lid blew off as Mitchell and
Ganstrom exchanged blow 58s.
When things calmed down again
both players sat out the remaind-
er of the game.

This was Castlegar’s last game
of the second half. Rossland end-

part in all this.

GREATEST SHOW ON
EARTH

The greatest show on earth just
now is the industrial production of
the Western nations.

Canada has a big role ‘in the show.
And Canada’s primary textile indus-
try, with the largest manufacturing
employment, the largest payroll, and
with factories well diversified
throughout the smaller communities,
is a star player in the Canadian show.

Dominion Textile has an important

ed up in first place with Trail
Motormen second, the Dominoes
third and the Trail Lumbermen
fourth.

At this time of writing there
has been no playoff arrange-
ments made public.

I understand our high school,

boys and girls did not have much
luck in Trail on’ Friday evening
in their inter-school basketball
games with Trail, but as yet I

-have had no report on the scor-

es of those games so am unable
to comment on them.
Here and. There

Playoff time is rollirig ‘around
in basketball, and then soon after
it will be the hockey playoffs,
so like a lot of other fellows
who like to get their licks . in
Ill go out on the limb with a
few predictions.

First, I’ll pick the Trail Motor-
men to upset Rossland for the
basketball honors. Secondly, I’ll
pick the Smoke Eaters of Trail
to represent the Kootenays and
also B. C. for the Allan Cup.
There I've said it. ©

At this time Kimberley has
lost their first two games. on
their trip to the Coast and Okan-
agan. I think that they will be
lucky to win one game.

In the NHL I'll take Detroit
to win the league by 16 points.
Gordon Howe to cop the scor-
ing parade and Terry Sawchuk
to register 15 shutouts. For the
Stanley Cup I'll pick Detroit to
win. O.K. you Toronto fans tell
me I’m wrong.

NO BRIDGE IN SIGHT

A delegation from the Castle-
gar Bridge Committee, compos-
ed of Ross MacDermid and-S. C.
Muirhead, met with Hon. E. T.
Kenny in Victoria last week to
discuss the proposed Castlegar
Highway Bridge. Also present
at the meeting were Hon. A. D.
Turnbull and E. Jones, Deputy
Minister of Public Works. .

The chief development of the
meeting was the fact that there
are no serious plans for a bridge
at Castlegar. _The Provincial
government has made no sur-
veys to establish possible locat-
ions and the Department of Pub-
lic Works has no plans for any
such work,

Mr. Kenney stated that the

was the
forthcoming industrial develop-
ment in the Castlegar area and
that this expansion would doubt-
less influence government think-
ing in regard to public works,
but he warned that two serious
factors are present which would
affect any bridge scheme. The
first factor was the great num-
ber of British Columbia bridges
which are practically on the
verge of falling to pieces and
which will have to be rebuilt

Surprise Party

Held

Last Wednesday, January 30,
Mrs. W. O. Devitt was “at home”
to two friends, Mrs. L. Langpap
and Mrs. W. Hesketh — or so she
thought. Before the evening got
nicely started she answered .the
door bell and found 20 more
friends, who had come ‘to wish
her a “surprise! Happy Birth-
day.”

The hostesses for the evening
were Mrs. V. Goresky and Mrs.
D. Magee. Mrs. C. Petts and
Mrs. W. Waldie had charge of
the entertainment and all agreed

Smecher, convener of the Make-
up Committee, meet with the ex-
ecutive to re-order the necessary
make-up for the. club. After
the.meeting members cleaned and
tidied the A.R.P. room where the
club keeps its properties. Refresh-
ments were served by Mrs.
Smecher and Mr, J. Smith.

ROBSON SOCIAL

The District Board of the W. I.
held their District Board meet-
ing at the home of Mrs. Chal-
mers February 2. Those present
were Mrs. Roy Lance of Green-
wood; Mrs. Farenholtz, secretary
of Nelson, and Mrs. Mitchell of
Kinnaird.

it was a “Nev-
er a dull moment,” was one com-
ment. The cake was one of Mrs.
Jack Scott’s best — and she is
a past master. Mrs. Magee took
top honors at the decorating and
under each. rosette the guests
found a conundrum which they
tried to answer first and if un-
able passed on to the group.

On behalf of the 22 friends,
Mrs. Magee presented Mrs. De-
vitt with a gift of two cups and
saucers. e

Dramatic Club.
Meets

The regular monthly meeting
of the Robson Amateur Dramatic
Club was. held in the Robson
Recreation hall, February 1. Mrs.
Thorndale at the chair, opened
the meeting followed with the
usual procedure.

Report from the reading com-
mittee was given by Mrs. R.
Waldie. It-was decided that Mrs.

ately, it would probably be two
years before any appreciable
quantity of steel would be re-
quired.

The government appears to
feel that the Castlegar ferry is
adequate for exisiting traffic, al-
though both Mr. Turnbull and
Mr. Kenny stated they were
watching the situation closely
to see the effect of the Celgar
development.

In presenting his report to the
executive of the Bridge Commit-
tee, Mr. MacDermid commented,
“There is no question now about
where we stand on the bridge
question. There are no plans
for a bridge at Castlegar. We
are better off than ever before
in one respect. We know where
we stand, and apparently we
are in the same position as Trail
and Nelson in their bridge cam-
Even though we can
expect a long, hard fight and
can expect to put up with even
worse ferry service than ever
before, traffic is increasing so
