Three ‘days were lost last week
>-Sore throat and headache, —
some bug related to the flu bit
me, no: doubt., By the time T
got going it was Wednesday and
I spent the rest of the week try-
ing to catch up, I think a few
medical practices should. be
changed — take the one of in-
specting a sore throat: “say
ahhhh” now that right off
the bat makes me mad! Why
“ahhh” — such a pleasant sound
— denoting joy, ecstasy? Why

not “Ohhh!” — more of a groan,.

or dispair; or
— disgust? Practidally
anything would be better. But
the practice of penicilin I
wouldn’t. change boy; does
that stuff ever work fast and
effectively! It’s nice to be liv-
ing in an age where science :can
make things so simple for us.

It begins to look as if spring
isn’t going to forget us after
There is still lots of snow at
the ranch but some bare patches
are beginning to show up and
kiddies have a few square
inches of comparatively dry space
they can play on. The birds
are beginning to take on bright-
er colors arid now we can say
winter at last is over.

Went to the general meeting
of the Bridge Committee. It was
very well attended and the re-
ports were well received — even
allowing for “election propo-
ganda” it is a good sign that
we have a definite promise of
a survey this year for the bridge
— after all three months ago
they couldn’t remember that we
wanted a bridge.

Saturday was a rummage and
bake sale at the United Church.
I was supposed to work in the
kitchen and I did go out a
couple of times but people kept
coming in that I haven't seen
for quite a while and just had
to stop and chat so I didn’t do
much work — had a very pleas-
ant afternoon though.

Saturday night we had a date
with Captain Horatio Hornblow-
er. It was a marvelous picture
and we enjoyed every minute of
it.

Sunday was a very pleasant
“stay at home” day. Denny and
Lois Hughes were up in the
afternoon and evening. We help-
ed little Craig Waite celebrate

his third birthday — never saw:

a cake go so fast. Spent about
two and a half hours eating din-
ner and talking. Then of course
there were dishes! Couldn’t talk
the men into doing them so Lois
and I got stuck with them but
they didn’t take as long as think-
ing about them had at that.

RED FLANNELS
FOR CHICKENS

Central Press Canadian

Long underwear for chickens is
strictly utilitarian from the chick-
ens’ point of view. Eva Anderson,
64, sewed these red flannel vest and
pants for her prize minorcas when
she found that winds were causing
their feathers to molt before she
could get them to poultry shows.
So, for that idea—which worked—
she received a prize in New York
for the most novel item'made on a
sewing machine.

SPORT TRAILS

(By Len Walker)

The Nelson High school girls
on Saturday night earned the
right to go to Vancouver next
week-end for the provincial play-
downs, by downing the Grand
Forks girls 36 to 18 before close
to 400 fans at the Stanley Hum-
Phries high school gym.

The Nelson girls showing
much more speed and accurate
shooting took an early lead and
never were headed throughout
the game. The half time score
was 18 to 9 for Nelson. .

Joy McEwen was the star’ of
the game, picking up 16 big
points. For Grand Forks ‘it was
Evelyn Nuntz with 6 points.

In the second game the Cas-
tlegar high school boys were de-
feated by the Warfield boys 35
to 18 in a game that saw the
Warfield boys outplay the locals
all the way. Hofmann was the
leading point getter with elev-
en markers, Russell and McLar-
en each picked up 8 points, For
the locals it was Johnny Ross
with 6 and Gabana and Zebin 4
each.

Trail Motors Win

Over in Trail on Friday and
Saturday the Trail Motors won
the right to go to the coast for
the provincial finals by downing

the Kamloops Rainbows twice,
58 to 41 and 53 to 47. In the
first game Rennie Mitchell pick-
ed up 19 points for Trail. Ivan
Spees was the star of the sec-
ond contest getting 20 markers.
Trail will journey to Vancouver
later this month.

In hockey the playoffs are
well under way here in the
Kootenays with Kimberley and
Nelson eliminated. The Trail
Smoke Eaters are busy at this
time trying to get past the Kel-
owna Packers who have picked
up some of that Nelson spirit.
At this time Trail leads the best
of five series with one--victory.
The second game saw the Pack-
ers come back and earn a tie.
When you read this the third
game will be history.

Next week the National
League will be in the playoffs
with Detroit, Toronto, Montreal
and Boston. There is still a
faint hope that the New York
Rangers will beat Boston out
for fourth place and a chance
in the playoffs.

W. Rigby, who has been a
patient at the Kootenay Lake
General Hospital, has returned
to his home.

Mrs. H. Hodgson of Trail is
visiting at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. D. Wallace.
