That naughty boy, the weatherman seemed deter- mined to eliminate the sports program from our 3 day Cen. tennial celebration. On Saturday, June 17, the rain came tumbling down & there was nothing else to do but postpone the affair so. the following Saturday was chosen. However rain again stopped the proceedings-be- fore all the events were run off so another postponement was in order. On Wednesday evening of last week the rain-maker sus- pended operations long enough for the program to be completed. In the ball game Prince Albert defeated Greenbank and in the tug-of- war contest our local boys came off second best against Epsom. However it wouldn't look well for the hosts to de- feat the visitors. Finally the crowning event, the greasy pig contest took place. All the fenced off area was lined with eager spectators all hoping the rain would hold off for a wee bit longer, which it did. Then a truck was backed up and Mr. Piggy Junior was un- loaded and coaxed, pushed & pulled into the contest area poor, bewildered which was enough to give any self-respecting pig a heart attack. The lad who hung on longest was Teddy Clement and for a few min- utes he manfully struggled with that porker but finally he was forced to give up and hand over the job to Grant Phair who with piggy's re- sistance somewhat worn down and his reserve energy at a high level soon landed Mr. Pig into the inner circle and was declared the winner. So ended contest No. 1. Then another truck backed in and Piggy Senior was un- loaded and ushered into the enclosure. He too was greet- ed by a noisy gang of older lads who all but one, Earl Phoenix, soon lost their grip on the slippery creature and the boy vs. pig battle was on.

Amid a med- ley of squeals, grunts and groans, shouts of encourage- ment to Earl and murmurs of sympathy from some of the tender-hearted souls who thought the poor animal was being taken for a rough ride, the struggle went on and on. At one point Mr. Piggy ab solutely refused to be turned into something so undigni- fied as a: wheelbarrow and promptly laid down on the job. From there on it was a -real--battle "but witha su- preme effort Earl finally landed his protesting oppon- ent inside the circle.
