This week the Rossland retirees counted 58 of
their members on the tee for the Tuesday morning
round. The competition was low net for which we
awarded three balls. Bill Vickers was low man on
the totem pole with a 31, Doug Johnson counted 32,
and Harold Dixon 33. In the bingo, bango, bongo it
was Don Krug with a 13 total that took the prize.
Don also had a 31 for the low net but our policy of
one ball per player excluded him from thal
A visitor, Norm Clark of Leader, Saskatchewan won closest to the pin on #3 with his tee
shot winding up three feet from the pin. Barney
Boyczuk was the long putter on #9 as he sank one
from ten feet. On the two hidden holes, high on #3
was won by Carl Osing with a seven, while low on
#8 was won by Percy Hamilton, who had a very
nice four to beat out some others in a draw.
Next week's effort will have a hidden mastermind and you will know about who it will be by
attending next Tuesday. Whoever it is will have
some surprises no doubt. See you all there!

A former Rosslander, now operating out of

Oshawa, Ont. was visiting in the Legion in
Rossland last Monday. Insurance salesman extraordinaire, Len Camazzi, is in the area and
certainly enjoyed his visit with us. A super skier
and all-round good athlete, Len looks to be in tiptop condition. Pat Martin is his host while he is in
the area. Good to see you, Len!
This is the time of the year when we get former
Rosslanders and many otl'lers in town to visit
relations or former acquaintances in the area.
Looking ahead to August, we have the Inter-

Zone Golf Tourney at Creston on tap for Saturday,
August 9. Barney Boyczuk was telling me the story
today, so far nothing has been done to make
arrangements for a bus to take a bunch of us over
for that event. The idea was that we could canvass
Trail, Castlegar and Rossland as to how many
from those points would be going and if we get a
big enough bus we could possibly pick some Beaver
Valley and Salmo golfers on our way over there. It
would sure make a nice trip and an easy one for
guys who would otherwise have to drive. So you
who want to go, how about letting the organizers
know by phoning in to the Legion branches to say
you would like to go. Only two weeks left before the
date of the tourney.

Our good weather of the last week is certainly
very welcome. All that rain and cool weather was
getting a lot of people down. The gardens around
town are beginning to show the effect of the
welcome change. Most of the vegetables are
beginning to show some vitality which so far has
been slow in coming to the fore. Huckleberry
hunters are reporting varied results from their
trips into the area's bush country. Some have
shown signs of having been picked over, while
others are not yet ripe.

The British Open is over and the deserving
winner, at even par was Australia's "Great White
Shark" Greg Nonnan. Not one American was in
the leaders and it's- ir long time ~ce that has
happened. Of course along the Firth of Clyde is a
real toughie, especially in the awful weather they

had.
And with that it's time to say,
'Til next time, then!
