He did not By JACK DURIE In deepest, darkest, India there are people who eat broken glass, walk over live beds of firey coals and sleep on beds of spikes. Before you jump out of your "Things like that 2rever happen around here" let me tell you a story! It was around 7:45 on Saturday morning when five forlorn figures gathered at Ross' Corners. Each silently glared at the other as if to say "This was your idea--you cad!" Each was wrapped up like a per- fectly preserved specimen of King Tut's mummy--each strapped a 7 piece of hickory timber to his: (or her) hobnailed boots--from each shoulder hung a heavy knapsack-- for good measure a metal pole was stuck in each hand: Then as if to add insult to in- jury the "fivesome" started a =ine mile trek to Raglan. However, it must be admitted one of the group was a victim of gross misrepresen- tation. Being 'a visitor from To- ronto, he was lead to believe Rag- lan was just over the hill. Any feel- ing of Christian fellowship this visi- tor felt for the Oshawa Ski Club soon perished by the wayside. Somewhere in the vicinity of 10 o'clock the voyageurs sighted Col- umbus. Christopher himself couldn't have been more pleased the day he first sighted America. As they entered the village, they swooped down on every particle of food and drink in sight. When they left each shelf in each store com- pared favourably to Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard. Eleven o'clock saw the fivesome strung out in a long line according to their physical condition. She who had been up latest the night before came lastest and breathed heaviest. At about 11:30 a bus came into view. Before fhe five forms had a chance to stretch themselves across the road, the bus stopped, turned around and went back. "Great Fight, Ma!" Finally at 12:20 after passing through a couple of towns, about nine concession roads and two or three townships, the party flound- oe into the Clubhouse near Rag- an, If you should see Bev. Thompson, Leone Palmer, Bernice Whittaker, Derek Hopkins, and Trev. Goodman (of Toronto) on the doorstep of a Psychiatrist--just nod knowingly and walk on. The exceptionally fine snow con- ditions contributed a great deal to the success of the Floodlite Ski Party on Friday evening last. Some six inches of beautiful, powdered snow gave the thirty skiers present the thrill of 4 lifetime. There were only 'about five girls at the party and their box lunches were divided among the whole gang. It reminds one of the parable about the fishes and the loaves of bread. Saturday too was a day to de- light any skier. The weather was perfect and there were not too many on hand to overcrowd the hills. While Sunday was a little blus- tery the skiing was nevertheless ex- cellent. About 200 braved the winds and the snow to enjoy a real day's outing, Dermott Conway took a class un- der his wing and instructed them in the "hows" and "whys" of falling down and standing up gracefully. The Ski Club is indebted to the men who man the ploughs for their efforts in keeping the highways clear, They even cleared an extra wide spot near the entrance to the Club for the convenience and safety of those who brought cars. Racing Events Stoney Fisher ventured way up north to Sudbury over the weekend to take part in the huge Sudbury Carnival events. His efforts were not in vain. Out of 35 contestants came seventh. When you're up against the best competition in the province, this is no mean trick, In the Downhill races 40 contest ants started. It must have been a doozer of a course because only 23 finished. Stoney deserves the heart- iest of congratulations tor placing 16th in what would seem to be & suicide run. While we're handing out bou- quets, Jack Kerr, Spike Tyson and Jim Hare are definitely not to be overlooked. The boys came second in the downhill races at the Hamil ton Ski meet. Here again, stiff com- petition makes their position all the more remarkable. The team also took part in the Slalom race but were unfortunately disqualified. Those flags crop up at the most unexpected moments. Coming Events The Junior Club Championship previously announced as on the 15th and 16th will be held on the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd nstead. i Senior competitors who intend entering the racing events this weekend must have their entry forms into the hand of John Ruse sell by Friday--please! If you're planning on going to Brimacombe's Hill for the Sunday Senior events it might be an ex- cellent idea to bring a lunch. Since there will be no bus transportation, we suggest you line up a friend who owns a car. Finally please keep in mind the movie nite at the Genosha Hotel on Monday, February 24th. foots. This.
