Titanic Examiner Published by Canadian awspaperl Limited 16 Bayfleld Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Sleight General Manager FRIDAY FEERUARY 16 Page The Roarin Game Started In 16th Century Scottish Pond It has taken many people years to discover the sport of curling Actually it has been played in Canada for close to one hundredyears In Elmcoe Coun ty the Churchill Curling Club has been in operation for almost that length of time which makes it the oldest in this district But there is evidence that the sport was enjoyed by the Scots as far back as the 16th century Two things have contributed to the tremendous growth of curling in East ern Canada anyway in the past 15 years One is the development of arti ficial ice rinks and the other the interest taken in the sport by the ladies and their acceptance as curlers by the most of the older generation devotees of the roarin game All this ties in with the fact that Barrie Curling Clubs annual big bon spiel starts on Saturday of this weak and one week later on Saturday the fin als for The Barrie Examiner and Sterl ing Trusts trophies will be keenly con tested by 16 teams from all over the province While the exact origin of the game is shrouded in doubt the earliest proof of the existence of curling was discovered when pond near Dumblane Scotland wasvdrainedimdratwohandled curling stone bearing the date 1551 carved on it was uncovered Scots become indignant when curling and lawn bowling are linked as brother events but the marked similarity be tween the two games is such that the advocates of this theory have strong arguing point Lawn bowling existed in Scotland for centuries before curling Lawn bowling was Scotlands nationei outdoor sum mer game Then came curling and ever since the principle of play has been very much like lawn bowling In curling the players zip huge stone along the ice toward 12foot circle called the house the game get ting lts name from the peculiar twist or curl which experts are able to get into the speeding stone In lawn bowling the players throw biased ball the big trick being to get twist into the bail whenever the occasion demands rho oldest curling club in existence is the Dudingston Curling Society organ ized in 1795 This club played according to its own particular rules from then until 1834 when there was formed the Amateur Curling Club of Scotland The new organization decided there should be standardization of the rules and went into convention with the Dud ingston and other outstanding clubs of the period Curling as regular sport dates from that time but the Amateur Curling Club ceased to function as separate unit after 1838 and was merged into the Grand Caledonia Curling Club which immediately became the ruling body for the sport in Scotland Following visit by Queen Victoria in 1842 the above club changed its name to the Royal Caledonia Curling Club by which it since has been known Through all the years it has been the governing body for curling in Scotland and serves as rules committee for the world The sport was introduced into Canada in 1807 and into the United States in 1820 Strange as it may seem the game met with insthnt success in the United states but failed in Canada As result of the apparent rejection of the game by Canadians the first international matches were staged in the winter of 190203 with Scotland challenging the United States Shortly after the turn of the century however Canadians took more interest in the game and soon this country was the stronghold of curling in North America While curling is regarded in some quarters as game for old men the opposite is true In Western Canada curling has replaced hockey as the big sport among teenegers Harm Done BY Quacks The quack aided by the gullible is still making fortunes An investigating committee of the American Medical As sociation has estimated that $1000000 000 year is spent in North America on fake treatments and bogus remedies In many cases perhaps in the majority of cases the harm done amounts to no more than taking money and raising false hopes but there are also many instances in which harm is done because proper treatment is postponed The Health League of Canada has endorsed set of six questions to be used in trying to identify quack They are not infallible rules but they are guide to the kind of healthy suspicion which should be shown toward anyone who claims to have cureall for sale Does he use secret machine or formula that he claims can cure dis ease Honest doctors when they learn something useful publish it to other doctors Does he guarantee quick sure Does he use case histories or tes timonials to promote his cure Does he clamor constantly for med ical recognition and investigation Does he claim that medical men are persecuting him or are afraid of his competition Does he tell you that orthodox surgery or Xrays or drugs will do more harm than good Other Editors View MR GORDONS APOLOGY Hamilton

writing this letter to you in the hope that it may be accepted for publication It has taken me month to decide to do this but the cir cumstences that have prompted me are such that can not convince myself to remain quiet have little if any fault to find with the Barrie Exam in am constant reader find your paper suits me just lllE It has been truly said that patience is virtue partic ularly to those on the receiving end of such action and 1be have that the people of Cooks town are guilty of the act of apathy IMPORTANT short time ago your paper reported on an event that took place in Cookstown that to some of us who live in this quiet contented community he Ileved to be quite important Im speaking of the Inaugu ral meeting of our first coun all elected to office for 1962 This meeting represented the birthday of Cookstown as newly incorporated village the youngest community in the Dalt minfnn of Canada For many years we have had the status of police village located within the bounds of four town ships and subject to on unav oidable but complicated form of municipal administration After number of years of sincere effort and planning on the part of our former Boards of Trus tees we reached our goal In IMPERIAL corporation At the close of 1961 the people of Cookstawn wont to the poles to elect their first five man council and record vote was record ed in hut election use the word but possibly because lack the courage to use more expressive terms or perhaps my feeling may better be dcs cribed ns shecked in any case some of the people of Cookstown are well aware of the words that could be used to describe the election cam paign The big night arrived on Jan 1962 at pm and the town hall was open and ready for this historical event in the life of our community The flowers that decorated the hull platform were gifts from the neighbor ing municipalities most of the people present were representa tives of these same municipal ities along with number of visiting dignitaries Your report or very graciously used the word sprinkling in his article when he described the nurubers of people in attendance from Cookslown but dont feel quite so restricted and so will quote excluding the mother of one councilman and the four wives of the other four councilmen there were rune Cookstown residents in attend once We have three churches in our village two without resa

gentlemen of our first Council first that they have very successful year as they proceed to shape the ad ministration program for this year and secondly that at the end of this year they have as few
