I got a message from Wilf Manson of the
Rossland Eagles a couple of days ago telling me of
an affair the club is sponsoring at Lions Park in
Rossland. It is going to be a pork roast with three
pigs on the spit. That should make for some pretty
good eating for hungry Rosslanders and people
from around the area. Yes, it's open to all for a
nominal fee on Aug. 22, the final day of the LiWe
League finals. It would be a good spot to eat between games!
This week the Retirees in Rossland bad another
fantastic day, as far as the weather was concerned.
It bad a good turnout with 57 attending. As we are
seeing new faces each week it would appear that if
they all tum up for one round we would have a
hundred out there or better.
This week, Joe Bielli and Davey Nicol were in
charge and chose honey pot points, high and low
bidden boles plus a long putt on No. 9. It produced
the following winners: in honey pot Don Krug
garnered 18 points, Chuck Rommerdabl 17.5 and
Frank Blackwell 17. That was what I would call
competition with a capital "C". Bart Dudley won
bidden high on No. 7 and low was on No. 4 and was
won by Gord McLaren. The long putt on No. 9 was a
magnificent 30-footer by Pat Martin, one of the best
so far.
Next week we have an offer from Barney
Boycbuk to man the besk but Barney tells me he's
going to need someone who knows the job as a
helper as he bas never done it before. We'll fix you
up, Barney, with 7 a.m. the start time.
With our Golden City Days celebration and its
usual group of visitors on band all clubs in town are
pointing towards efforts to attract their share of the
incoming tourist traffic. They always seem to be
attracted by our fantastic fall weather, the meeting
of new friends. Then, of course, there are many who

arrive because it's old home week to a number of
our young people wo have taken jobs elsewhere.
Last night I attended a Branch 14 meeting who
this year have been granted rights to produce the
usual beverage garden on their own premises.
People will have the choice of indoors or outdoors to
partake of their favorite beverage. The large lot to
the north of our building will be open for use as well
as our usual beverage rooms. This event, I understand is to be well advertised so keep your eyes
and ears open so you won't miss any of the fun.
The whole Golden City Days is always great.
Races for the kiddies and a marathon for the people
who take part in this particular sport, slow-pitch
ball tournaments and the usual showing of the
produce of Rossland's gardeners, ladies' productions in the kitchen and the ovens and if you feel
lucky, your gambling urge can be sated in the arena
at the crown and anchor and various other games of
chance to be played. Hope to see you all there from
far and near at Rossland during Golden City Days.
From Jim Schuck, Branch 14 member and West
Kootenay Zone Commander comes the following
notes re the East-West Zone golf tourney held annually at the Creston course. For only the second
time in its history the West Kootenay zone were the
winners. They tourney started in 1971. Eighteen
members, seven of them from Branch 14,
represented the West and on accepting the winner's
trophy, Comrade Jim thanked all concerned for an
excellent tournament.
Representing Rossland were Jim Schuck, Amie
Sherwood, Jon Holm, Bert Pengelly, Bart Dudley,
Peter Brown and Tommy Clark and I'm told all
acquitted themselves nobly. Thirty-five took aprt
from the East Kootenay Zone.
All good things mt come to an end,
And so it's time to say, 'Til next time, then!
