truly winter of bowling relaxation amateur sports Curling is one and the other is lawn bowling Both have many things in com mon Not the least of these is the fact they bring about improv ed health and happiness to those who participate Also as a means of making new friends they cant be beat Both games are relatively in expensive considering the fun and exercise the participants en joy Another item worth men tioning is that curlers and bowl ers never go around saying Mr this or Mr so and so but rather each player almost immediately is calling the opposition or mem bers of his own rink by their first names As a means of putting business worries out of mind both games rate tops on the slate If for no other reason than this alone it would seem that businessmen if they realized the joys of both games would seek out the local curling and bowling clubs and make these grand games a hobby Every bowler and curler should seek out his nonplaying pals and acquaint them with joy ful news of the benefits to be derived from these two grand old games Newmarket bowlers are in a fortunate position As soon as the thermometer skids the doors of good old Miami beckon them The local Miami setup is
