We were so/fsmart we.cut all

ture afd’ so. do no good at all
once /they are picked up and
bupfied. So by the time each
Valentine gets folded four times
tp go into a small envelope or
fatiles forlornly around in a

ig envelope things are neither
quiet nor amusing. My advice
to you is just keep out of my
way for a few days!

Had another Bridge Commit-
tee meeting and the wheels are
slowly beginning to turn. You
just watch; Victoria may not
know it, but we are definitely
going to have «a bridge!

Have you heard this one, “The
man went to the fridge and upon
opening it béheld a huge live
-white rabbit lying on the shelf:
He couldn’t believe his eyes but
‘before he thought about whether
rabbits can talk he said, ‘What
on earth are you.doing there?’
-Said the rabbit, ‘Isn't this a
Westinghouse?’ ‘Yes,” said the
-man. ‘Well, I’m just westing,’
came the reply.”

Don’t blame me for these —-
I'm just quoting — here is an-
other one.

Man: “Your kid’s spoiled.”

Lady: “She certainly is not
.spoiled, the very idea!”

Man: “She is too spoiled. If
you don’t believe me go out
-and look under that steam rol-
ler.”

Getting worse, aren’t they?
Well, I'm going to quit now any-
way.

‘Thursday I visited the Teach-
ers’ Federation meeting at the
-high school. Got there too early
,to _Bive my little speech -re the

e..Committee School Dis-
“trict No. 9° contest so was very
pleased to watch the entertain-
‘ment put on for the benefit of
the federation. Boys and girls
going through tumbling antics
that fairly made our hair stand
straight up. Miss Ball and J.
Buhr were the teachers respon-
sible and have really done a
grand job. Then the Grade 12
girls gave a rhythm dance to
the tune of Shortening Bread
which was a treat to watch. I
got to the W. A. meeting at the

United Church about an hour
late but they hadn’t started to
eat yet so-I was in luck. Grace
.MacPherson made the cake that
had to'be cut ‘in 21 pieces. Some
pieces were large. and some were
small but if any - of you have

) tasted her-cake you'll see why I
had to turn the plate around
several times looking for the
biggest plece.

Friday I cooked two chickens
“southern fried” and Ken
May from Trail was there and
we also asked Molly Carlson —
I, had to get back on the good
side of her after writing about
her ‘last week. We had another
guest but he doesn’t like seeing
his name in print so we will just
let it go at that — he can sure
play canasta though. Yes, we
were doing that again! I could
tell you, but I won’t as it comes
under the heading of advertis-
ing, that Ken May has his own
carpenter shop in Trail— really
does fine work too but as I say
.I won't mention it.

Saturday night a group of
young people came out from
Trail to have a tobogganing
party. Sunday we tobogganed
all day — it’s kind of icy but
what a thrill — you can't get a
breath all the way down.

Well, enough of this chatter
and I must say I’m rathei glad
that Valentine’s Day is over
for another year.

Perhaps the first Scout in the
“British Commonwealth to take
the ‘Scout promise “To do my
duty to God and the Queen” is
Robert Johnston, son of the
Rey. and Mrs. L. C. Johnston
of Castlegar. Bobby was invest-
ed as a Scout on Wednesday the
day Queen Elizabeth was pro-
claimed Queen of Canada, by
Scoutmaster A. Read at a joint
meeting of the Castlegar and
Kinnaird Troops at the Kinnaird
hall. Over 25 Scouts from the
two troops met for’ an im-
promptue meeting under their
Scoutmasters Al Read, John
Stainton and R. Parks.

Assistant Commissioner B. A.
Regker gave a short talk on the
late King’s sense of duty, he was
the Patron of the Scouts of the
Commonwealth. Mr. Resker said
that King George took an active
part in ‘Scouting as Duke of
York and that he remembered
Him as Scout Commissioner of
London, England, he often wore
the Scout uniforms including
shorts. The new Queen, to
whom the Scouts for the first
time. pledged their duty, was the
first Queen to have been all

pass Bill Camely’s lifetime re-
It was said
that this man was nothing but
a wartime player but the war has
been over for some time now
and this man has risen to the
heights, at the present time he
has been picked by many, as
the Canadians most valuable

In caSe you have not guessed

Other than old reliable Elmer

Lack.

Lack was born in Nokomis,
Sask., on January 22, 1918. He
joinea the -pro ranks in 1940
with the Montreal Canadians and
has remained with that team to
this day. The last amateur
team that he played with was
the Moose Jaw Millers. Elmer
stands 5 ft. 10 inches and weighs
170 lbs. He plays centre and
shoots from the left side.

Lack’s best season in the N.-
H.L. was the season of 44-45
when he collected 26 goals and
garnered 54 assis's for a total
of 80 points. That same season
he won the.David Hart trophy.
In 1947-48 he won the Art Ross
trophy.

At this time Lack is only 20
points away from Cowley’s re-
cord and should surpass it very
shortly if he keeps up his pres-
ent pace. To date he has scor-
ed 192 goals and has 336 assists
for a total of 528 points;
better than Doug Bentley’s life-
time mark. ©

In the 39 playoff games that
Elmer has participated in he has
collected 17 goals and 35 assists
for 52 scoring points and with-
that he only received 26 minutes
In this his 12th

in the league he has
played in 542 games and has re-
ceived 436 minutes in the sin
bin including playoffs.

When Lack’s playing days are
over he will, without any argu-
ment go down in hockey history
as one of the greatest players in
the N.H.L.

Dance Plans

The C. W. L. of St. Rita's par-
ish held the regular monthly
meeting at the home of Mrs. S.
Rysen, with 14 members -pres-

ent.

ghetti supper held recently in

ladies who so willingly worked
to make the supper .and ,social
evening a success.

venors were appointed’ for the

Guides Take Part
In Memorial

Service

The United Church held a
memorial service for the late
King George Sunday night. Rev.
Johnston's sermon emphasized
the quotation “Put your hand
in the Hand of God while enter-
ing into the unknown.” — Ad-
vice to an Empire which our
King himself gave and practiced
makes it a sufficient word from
His Late Majesty and really
echoes the same Gospel as His
Devine Master who himself quot-
ed fie Psalms in saying when
he left us “Into Thy Hands I
Commit My Spirit.” The re-
sem:blance is obvious of the King
echoing the King of Kings.

The Girl Guides, under their
leader Miss Mae Forgie-Thomp-
son, who occupied the front
seats of the junior choir before
a well filled church, took over
their homage to the late King
after the service, in the lowering
of the flag placed by the King’s
Bicture.. The congregation joined
in the singing of “He Leadeth
Me” which is the Guides’ hymn.
A moment’s silence was observed
when the girls made their Guide
promise. All sang “Peace, Per-
fect Peace,’ followed by “God
Save Our Gracious Queen.” Then
the patrol leader, Beverlee Jon-
es, led in a prayer for Queen
Elizabeth II followed by _ the
benediction. A few Cubs, Scouts
and Brownies also were present.

A service. will be held Friday
in the church at 10 a.m. observ-

_ing the King’s funeral.
