First of all let’s go back to ‘last April when I started writing for the Castle News. It was in April that we here in Castlegar: formed the softbal leagues. for the kids. The Ti ntg faple Leafs won'tHe"Sfinley Cup by defeating the Montieal Canadiens four games to one. \Major league baseball got underfay in May. The New York Giants lost 11 straight ball games. The Castle- gar Cubs entered the Trail lea- gue. Cliff Chambers’ entered baseball Hall of Fame on May 6th when he pitched a no-hit, no-run game against the Boston Braves. Also Elsio Vanelli of the Trail Hotel Giants pitched One against our local Cubs. Castlegar School No, 1 won the district school track meet on May 23rd. June saw Fred Horkoff pitch a no-hitter against the Cards in our local midget ball. The King and his court starring Ed- die Feigner played here in Castle- gar. Our, local girls the Kats started playing ball. July saw the Kats enter into the Trail league. Bob Feller of the Cleveland Indians pitched his third no-hitter when,he set De- troit Tigers down without a hit on July 1st. Bill Kereiff and Rennie Mitchell starred for the All Star team when they defeat- -ed the Trail Hotel Giants 4 to 1. The Iowa Colored Ghosts de- feated the Cubs 7 to 6 in a fine performance. Joe Walcott won the heavy weight title by knock- ing Essard Charles out in the seventh round. In August the Castlegar Kats won . the semi finals by downing Shavers Bench in two straight games. Joe Louis won a ten round decision from Cesor Brion. The Cubs were in second place in the Trail league. The local tennis courts were very busy. September saw the first senior women’s fastball tournament in the district staged. Our local Kats took first Money. Kats won the Trail league champion- ship, defeating Fidelity Life in two straight games. Joy Defoe was the hero of the second game, hitting game winning home run with bases loaded. Cubs won the quarter finals two games to one over the Pirates, In October the Kats made it” two games in a row over the Trail All Stars. Also they won the West Kootenay Title defeat- . New York ing Nelson. lants won the pennent by de- feating the. Dodgers in a playoff game. New York Yankees won the World Series..:'The Detroit Red Wings. got. away to a fast lead-in? the National Hockey League, : In N Tr the “Club got underway, also the Senior ‘Men’s Basketball team. cman Original Colored Ghosts played Public Meeting for Civil Defence A public meeting will be held by the Civil Defence Committee on Thursday, January 10th at 7:30 p.m. in the Legion hall. The -+committee, under the chairmanship of J. R. Elliott, has held a number of meetings to organize a civil defence program and will make a report on activi- ties at Thursday night's meet- ing. HERE AND THERE WITH ARLEE Yes sir, I did see you at the concert, didn’t I? And wasn’t it well worth the effort of getting there? And I do mean Effort! At the last minute as I was rushing around getting ready to g0, my 8 year old son, Gordon, decided to go too. “Mrs. Robin- son said we should see it.” Who am I a mere mother to question — so far there are only three women smarter than myself (Miss Smith, now Mrs. McGau- ley, Miss Merlo and Mrs. Robin- son). So off we started — two neighbor friends, Gordie and my- self. “I’ll show you a short cut” says our pride and joy and fool- ishly we let him. Short cut! Horrers! over one mountain and down a gully — through three private yards equipped with dogs and all on a trail no wider than the span of one hand. I must say the trail (after we passed) was considerably wider at regu- larly spaced intervals all along the way, and I arrived at school looking like “Mrs. Frosty” her- self. The neighbors, Dorlaine Waite and her brother-in-law, Morris didn’t have any trouble Standing upright, but I still say that is because I widened the trail for them. Needless to say we went home a more civilized way — for all the good it did — every time a car came along the road we were walking, we either had to'dive for the nearest snow bank or help push the car up a hill. / * As I say concert was well worth the frouble. You could just tell Mr. Robert Graham was proud of those kids and he cer- tainly had good reason to be. When you stop and think that Mr. Graham just came in Sep- tember, he has surely done wond- ers. Isn’t it nice we have such a really good school and every opportunity to get an education, and in. such a pleasant way? Gee, I wish I could go to high schoo] again! 4 Didn’t do much the next few days after the concert. There was so much to be done I couldn’t decide where to Start so went down town instead. Pick- ed up a few “laid away” parcels at that “small but mighty” Va- riety store and generally poked around. Got a big order at Rob- ertson’s — sure costs a lot to keep a fellow’s constitution fit doesn’t it? Went to church Sunday — y'know this could get be a habit. Kiwanis Male Choir and the United Church Choir both sang beautifully and when the con- gregation and those two com- bined began to sing — Well, we could all stand more of the same I know. It was fun Christmas Eve to go Caroling all up and down the streets with the sleigh bells on the horses ringing merrily and everyone singing so loud and the frosty air going so deep into our lungs we all thought we'd be voiceless for Christmas but we managed to sing a way a couple more hours after getting back to the ranch for coffee. The only regret was that the sleigh could not hold more people. Christmas of course, was won- derful and Santa was almost too good to all of us. All of which brings us to the beginning of a new year and I guess you are all wondering, as I am, what it holds and how we can make this one just a little better than the one before. here against Castlegar and Trail All Stars.” Rennie Mitchell was chosen the most valuable softball: player. Rocket Richard of Mon- .treal Canadiens scored his 300th goal. : December has seen the first fight ‘card staged in Castlegar. The Senior Men’s Basketball team in second place in the standing. The year 1951 has been good for sport all over the country as well as here in Castlegar. Let’s hope 1952 will be just as good or better. I would like. to wish you. all at this time a happy and prosperous New Year. FUNERAL SERVICES. HELD IN ROBSON FOR L. M.
