The hue and cry has died down but the memories
of this Golden City Days stays with us. I guess that's
one of the reasons it is such a crowd-pl~r.
This time around I didn't tie myself down by
promising to do any jobs for the organizations to
which I belong and I was free to move around.
This year the Legion had the beer garden and the
ladies' auxiliary started the morning off with their
beef-on-a-bun - a real tasty snack, if fact for some
people it is a full meal Then after the beer sales got
under way they ran a fantastic snack bar - hot
dogs, hamburgers and all the trimmings.
I'll tell you it does one's heart good to see the way
branch members and LA got things going and kept
them up for 10 hours without a let-up for two full
days. Every angle was covered and there is no way
that one can pass lightly over the effort put in by the
special teams, who did all the prepatory work to get
everything ready for the masses who flocked into
that beer garden over two days. And when I say
masses I am not fooling.
'Then there were the people who must have given
many hours of their spare time to prepare the floats
entered in the parade on Saturday morning. I know
the Legion's was a lot of work and we were extremely fortunate to have Edith McCuaig, Lll
Karenko, Harvey McKay and Lloyd Karenko in
charge of it. I don't think we could have had a better
team no matter how far we might have searched.
We should not forget our pilot, Bernie Fourt and the
two Vets who graced the float by sitting on it
through the Northport parade and our own, it takes
a special kind of person to do that job and we did
very well with Joe and Dorothy Gyte.
Another thing I want to mention in coooection
with our Golden City Days is the breakfast put on by
the Oddfellows and Rebeccas. It's a real joy to go
over there on a Sunday morning and partake of such
a hearty meal for such a reasonable price - all you
can eat, too. I did not attend any of the other meals
which were available but it was a little oversight
which made us miss the Credit Union supper at the
school We were doing something else and it got too
late.
Anyway, a last word on this subject - it was once
again a great show and a credit to Rossland.
Now to something else about our town, the
Rossland Warriors are going to be playing an
exhibition game in Trail, actually by the time you
read this they will have played. I think they had a
scheduled date in Grand Forks over the weekend
but upon enquiring I heard that it was cancelled.
There is quite a bunch of tryouts coming in from all
over so I guess we'll have to have a look-see before
the reguµar season get underway. Most of the same
people are in charge, coach and assistants are still
the same as a year ago and the addition of players
may be a good deal for them.
And now, to Retirees Day golfing. Next week we
hope to see a full group on hand for our season-end
extravaganza. This week there were 52, which isn't
bad but we have been up in the &O's and 70's. It will
be nice to finish our 1987 season with a flourish,
people like to remember things like that. It's all
been explained to you before so I don't need to
repeat .t. I shall get on with the fortunes of those
who won balls this week. Figures and facts by that
estimable gent, my friend, Bart Dudley. In low net
it was Arch McCannel's 33 that picked up the prize,
Ike Bosse tied Arch but since he won closest to the
pin on No. 3 they didn't want a draw for low net. In
low gross it was Jack Buchanan with a 41 while
Sammy Anselmo had 13 putts in his round to take
least putts. Russ Broughton won the long putt on No.
9 with one of a 12-14 foot. Lloyd Ridenour won the
hidden high hole with a score that was not available.
Next week, if memories are clear, we shall have a

So, 'til next time, then!
