Last Friday evening a
large crowd assembled at
b Cook Avenue school in
Rossland to honor a lady who
~ served the people of our
elty by teaching our youth
(or some thirty years.
Mrs. Paparich taught my
ebildren as well as the whole
family of Stantons plus the
Baleys and the Bells and one
~d say that's quite an
ilrder.
In speaking on behalf of
lbe parents, Mrs. Barb
ltanton related things that
lappened through the years
._ her children advanced
ugh their early grades.
Mrs . Paparich was
nted with a silver tea
ce from the parents and
lie staff of the school and
lpOke briefly of her days at
school. Now she said she
going to concentrate on
g to handle their new
r home and see a lot of
country. She and her
band Frank will travel
itensively during the
months.
There have been many
hUnuters in Rossland who
ve benefitted from Mrs.
ch's tutoring and it
fitting so many people
w fit to attend her
ent party. We of the
r family would like to.
it was a privilege to have
part of it all and tond to this lovely lady our
wishes for a long and
happy retirement. May
travel far and always
the people of our town
always be waiting to
come you back.

Tuesday was· once again a
ous day at the upper
e for the regular
y gathering of retiree
rs. Herbie SL Jean did a
r job of handling things
the whole show moved
without a hitch, we

played low gross and low net
and bingo, bango, bongo.
Gord McLaren was top
may in the low gross section
earding a 38, Jim Scott
followed with a 40. In the low
net division three balls were
distributed, going to J.
O'Connor, Gil Besso and Wes
Tanner, with 30, 31 and 32
respectively. Bud Hachey
topped the bingo, bango,
bongo section with 13 points,
followed by B. Hammond
and Jack Buchanan with 12.
There were 44 retirees
taking part and from our
counts it won't be long
abefore we start topping the
50 mark. Somewhat better
than last year and getting

more popular all the ·time.
The willingness of people
to dig in and give a little time
to orchestrate these weekly
gatherings gives it a real
boost along. Nell week's
conductors will be Phil
Bateman and Gil Besso.
Our friend, Noland
Garrison from Northport,
was up again and thoroughly
enjoyed himself. Noland
makes it almost every week
and is a welcome addition to
our club.
I bad an enquiry from a
young lady in Trail the other
day asking if there was a
slow-pitch tourney slated for
our Golden City Days

celebration. I was unable to
attend the Golden City Days
meeting on Tuesday as it
clashed with our last general
meeting before the summer
break at the Legion. Still, I
did talk to one of the
members of the committee,
Ivan Bell, and he tells me
that nothing is planned along
those lines.
From what I could gather
from my conversation with
the young lady from Trail,
she was talking about mixed
teams, something like the
Cominco tourney. I have her
phone number and if
something does develop
along these lines, I shall pass
the word along.

The cessation of hostiliti~
in the South Atlantic must
have a lot of people
breathing a little easier.
How, if they could come tel
the same point about 'the
Middle East we would hea11
something besides wars and
rumors of wars on our ~
sets.
Maybe more people would
be able to concentrate on the
business of getting this ·
old world back to normalcy.
The Rossland Labatts took
part in the Summer Games
soccer playoffs in Cranbrook
last weekend and came
away with a 1-1 record losing
1-0 and winning 2-1.
