With one of the most conunctiicus Club Homes in Edstern Canada and n nulaniiI-I cent rink, tcdayg curling Cfub ,5‘. l i111‘ 9Y3‘ from the one that cameI into eXibwrlce 52 years ago withi the idea in mind "to promote me grime of curling."

How successful that idea n35 vIOvrked out is readily seen u-ml. WHEY instead of l0 nrrrnbers illr Club boasts a membersinp o; 17;) made up of 161 curlers and 9 .1»- scclale nlonlbers. The cwlll ;.~ illIi to capacity’ and it is llll)IL'~.qlI,‘It‘ to gain membership. ,

Obtaining of the new quarters’ has gone a. long way lh bringing. thls about and the interest the members are showing insures theI 2mm being kept lip to this Bligh standard ill years to come. ‘Fodagv there is rlo waiting tor l‘ll’lk5 to appear for their matches; they are all ready at the appointed time eager to get started and as a result the two big bcnsplels that have been staged this season have 1 been run of: smoothly and effi- ciently.

And it is not only in the City that popularity of the game has boomed. Sunlmerslde, Montague and Alberton have all taken Q11 a new lease of life and are locking‘ fcnvllrd to the mosi. successful 5005011 in years, Montague and Summerside have already gotten underway with several matches being played and the other centre

will swing into action beginning this week. An extensive season's program

has been lined up and Wednes- day, providing the roads are open to travel an Island Bonspiel is to be staged between Montague. AI-

berton, Sumlnerside and Char-

lottetown. Those inter-county ‘I matches never fall to produce: anything but the most stirring I

competition and it Is to be honed» that the cnndltlon_ of the roaclsl will allow the various rinks to getI to the City for the matches.

And then also slated for this. week is the start of the Macdon-l aid-Brier competition to deter-I mine the rink that will represent, the City in play for the Island‘ title and the British Consols Trophy, and also the right to lep- resent thc Province in the Do- minion ‘Ihankard that is staged at. Toronto every year.

‘Local rinks have their teams pretty well lined up already and are just. awaiting the start on either Wednesday or Thursminy of this week-if the Island Bonspiel does not take place on Wednes- clay then the above competition wl‘l get underway. But should the Island Bcnsplcl be held as amorti- lng to present plans then the Macd-onald-Brlcr competition will be set ahead until Thursday,

According to a club official. it Ls expected that l0 or ll teams will take part in this year's com- petition. Lust year there were seven teams competing. Rankin McLaines Big Four Rink, unde- feated in last year's play are ag- ain intact and ready to defend their title. Moguls with their

members intact but. with a sight.‘

change tn position, are also ready while, the other teams entries are expected tn be In by Tuesday. En- tries will be open until Tuesday Jan. 9th at 8 p. m.

Bo all in all it looks like a big: week in curling circles. But it will be only one of mlluy that. wl‘l take place during the season-a season that will mark the high spot of curling ln this island provincc.

The hard-riding Rangers stretch- ed their non-losing streak to lfi games when they knocked olf theu~ fellow towmmcn. the Amer- leans, gnd they should equal the N. H. L. mark of unbeaten games without any serious difficulty. Tne Ranger!‘ next two games are against Detroit R/ed Wings and the Black Hawks. and mince they will have the cdvantnfl o!‘ pll - lug on their own ice it WLl IA e better hockey than most people thlnk these second division teams are capable of to ntop them.
