Men's Club A Club Bonspiel is scheduled for Saturday and Sun- day this week. All entries must be in by 6 P.M. on Friday.

Still smarting with indignation at the action which' cancelled all their plans to hold the Silver D Curling Playoffs in Terrace Bay this year about thirty local and district lady curlers boarded a chartered bus on Tuesday morning bound for the Lakehead. After many months of preparation and with promis- ed support from the Chamber of Commerce, service clubs, local companies and merchants, it was a bit- ter blow when word was received from Toronto that the Silver D would hot be held in Terrace Bay. In order to keep the event in Northwestern Ontario an appeal to one of the Lakehead Clubs to rush an invitation to hold the event there was made and, even on such short notice, the invitation was exten- ded--and accepted. Taking up the fight, not only on their own behalf, but on behalf of all small clubs, the Terrace Bay executive prepared a brief which they presented at Kenora (see report on this last week). Disappoint- ment crowned this effort when a majority of the district clubs failed to support the brief. Aware that their fight is a losing battle the local contingent still hope that by sheer weight of num- bers they will make delegates to the meeting in Port Arthur aware of their very strong feelings in this matter. The Catholic Women's League will meet Sunday evening, February |4 in the Church Hall following the recitation of the Rosary. Their guest speaker for the meeting will be Rev. T.Garnett Husser.
