As we in RossJand look forward to the weekend
of Sept. 5-7, we have to think ba!!)t to the amount of
work which quite a number of people_ have contribute to this annual bash - one of the best in the
Kootenays. For a community of something less than
5,000 people, RossJand puts on a show each year in
the fall that would make towns of much larger
population green with envy, at what is turned out
every year by the committees which handle the bulk
of the work which goes into the running of the .
Golden City Days.

Shall we say that we are indeed blessed with the
talent to put on this extravaganza each fall that
draws former residents back every time it happens.
They, inordinately proud of the way their former
hometown welcomes them, not only come back year
after year but they bring others along who fall
under the spell of this little community and the
spirit it displays for its visitors. I would be willing to
wager that the phrase, "Hey, It's Golden City Days,
let's not miss it and spoil our unbroken record.
That's one show we don't want to miss."
I'm not going to try and quote names of people
hwo have been responsible for its amazing success
over the years. They have been many and varied,
individuals and clubs, organizations, large and
small have all put in the necessary energy which
makes this celebration go.
There is something for everyone, from the tots
to the elderly. For the tots its the Kiddies Karnival
where they can try their hand at all kinds of things.
As they get into a higher age bracket we see different sports from track events to ball and soccer.
Then as they get older yet we have the very
prestigious distance runs like the "Hilly Two" and
the "Torturous Ten" which takes the best an athlete
has to give and usually does. At one time the Golden
City Days feeling was extended to a Slow-Pitch
tourney which was run in the same general time slot
but rather difficult economic times have put quite a
crimp in the idea of bringing in teams from all parts
of the country as we used to and it has been put on
hold.
Now don't forget those dates, Sept. 5-7, there
will be a welcome mat out for everyone whether
your thing is art, parades, eats of a very high
calibre and just about everything one with enjoyment on their mind could wish for. See you in
RossJand early in September and we'll sure do our
best to see you enjoy yourselves.
This week the retirees at RossJand saw 56 in
attendance on a beautiful Tuesday morning. Jimmy
and Willie Scott alogn with Emle Primeau were in
charge and the golf menu was bingo, bango, bongo,
closest to the pin on number three, long putt on
number nine, plus two hidden holes, low and high,
high was number six and low number eight.
Carl Seefeldt was the winner of bingo, bango,
bongo with 10 points, which he won in a draw with
several OU- participantslwitb a like score. Closest
to the pin on number three was won by Gino Pagnan
who nipped Dave Nicol and Bob Glover at the wire
with an effort that got to within right feet of the cup.
The long putt on number nine was won by our good
firend, great curler, and better than avarage golfer
Russ Broughton, nine feet, who nudged Bart
Dudley, seven feet, and John Piva, five feet, to take
the prize. Gil Laycock had a 10 on number six which
gave him the ball over several other duffers with
nines and in the hidden low hole, Willie Scott· had a
four and took home a ball.

Next week
- it will. - be Archie
. McCannel
. ... - . and
.. Bill.

name in. I hear that the rates are quite reasonable,
should make for a fine day of golf.
So, 'tilnexttime, then!
