In a town where everyone listens, watches and talks baseball all summer, reversing to hockey in winter, Flash remains constant in his devotion to football and in twelve years has not missed a Grey Cup game. Years ago when the special train, carrying football fans from the West, passed through Schreiber a large group of interested spectators GAME TIMES 3= Marathon -- 8:00 -- 1:30 p.m. Schreiber - 8:00 ~- 1:30 p.m. Terrace Bay -- 8:00 - 1:30 p.m. Wawa - 8:30 (Sat.) - 2:00 p.m. Pint-Sized 74-Year-Old Curler Has to Shove Rocks Down the Ice By DINY BAKKER Free Press Staff Reporter Mrs. W. E. (Mary) Coons started curling at the age of 61. Today, 13 years later, she's a veteran. Now a spry 74, the young- at-heart curling enthusiast has discovered that her greatest drawback on the ice is not her age, but her size! During an interview, Mrs. Coons" sheepishly admitted that her compact 5' 2", 102 Ib. figure prevents her. from throwing the rocks down the ice with the vigor of which she feels she is capable. "They weigh over 40 lbs," she said ruefully, "and since I can't lift the darn things, I just shove them." Professing to be only an "av- erage" curler, Mrs.. Coons first learned the sport in her native Schreiber, Ont. on a natural ice rink. : When. her husband retired as a conductor with the CPR, the couple moved to London and Mrs. Coons subsequently joined the Ladies Section of the Lon- don Curling Club. Clad in the traditional curler's garb of warm slacks, bright bulky sweater and cocky Scot- tish tam o'shanter, Mrs. Coons curls twice weekly at the club. For the last three years she has; been the oldest participant in} the annual "grandmothers' bon- spiel." Mrs. Coons was an active club woman for many years but de- cided on retirement to put these duties bemnua her and "just play." Whenever possible, she takes time out from housekeeping duties at the family duplex on Helmuth Avenue to indulge in her other hobby . . . oil painting. Mrs. Coons attributes her good health to the many years she spent in active participa- tion of various sports includ- ing tennis, skating, badmin- ton and bowling. She was par- ticularly boastful of a bowling trophy won some time ago. The mother of three curlers, Mrs. Coons is proud of her large family. She has 11 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. "They, (her children) did rather well, don't you think?" she added with a girlish giggle. Commenting on her family's reaction to her curling, Mrs. were gathered, as usual, to enjoy the fun and antics of the merry-making westerners. On this particular trip, one coach had been arranged as an old time saloon complete with piano, and Flash and a piano are like knife and fork. Soon he was in playing some rousing tunes, to the delight of the westerners, who demanded he ac- company them to Toronto. Since then, on two occasions when Flash felt funds would not permit him to attend the game, he was literally kidnapped and taken along; one time all the way back West.
