United Church Appoints Game Won by Scotland Uranium Mining Educator By ALEX McKINNON ‘The 18th annual Castlegar International curling game be- tween Canada and Scotland took place New Year's Day at the Castlegar Curling Rink. The game was preceded by a burnt offering prepared by Willle Van Yzerloo and Jack Chernoff. Whether this was an attempt to pacify the gods or kill the participants had not been determined at press time.

The team lineups were, for Canada; 1D. Wayling, J. Chernoff, W. Van Yzerloo and L, Roberts. For Scotland; A. McKinnon, N. Burak, W. Brady and E. Graham. After some cunning play in the first two ends, the teams were tied 1-1, After four ends the Scottish team had edged ahead 3-1. The fifth and sixth ends were split, The Canadian team then forged ahead to tie the game at 4-4 after eight ends. At this point, due to the heavy strain on both teams, a refreshment break was called. _ During which “Rubber Boot” Reid arrived and was co-opted into the Scottish team, to replace Ernie Graham who had been earlier forced to retire in order to prevent permanent damage to his badly strained nerves, this being Ernie's first attempt at international curl- ing. ‘The teams took to the ice for the final two ends. The ninth end was a strategic blank, due to the Scottish . skip's inability to hit the empty rings. This ted to a dramatic con- frontation in the final end, which had the spectator on the edge of his seat. In the tenth and final end both teams played a flawless * game.

The sug- gestion for this, especially where extreme sunlight is a problem, is to consider a blind of some kind, The insulated roller blinds are the most available and now come in beautiful colors with very attractive decorator hems. To match the blind to other fabrie covered pieces consider making a Roman shade, or a Russiag curtain for a more formal but tailored look.

There- fore if the drapes have been. custom made in a traditional fabric such as a plain antique satin that is the exact color of the carpel, your chances are that they will stay. How do we know: which kind of rod to choose? There are a lot of decorator rods on the market and the wooden poles with wooden rings are back in style too, Rods that contrast in color to the drapes automali- cally become an accent and as such will be more noticeable. Ceiling-to-floor and wall-to-wall draperies are best with a plain traverse rod. Decorator rods look best with a drape thal just frames the window so that the rod is at least six inches down from the ceiling and six inches out on either side.
