DUTIES OF CURLERS
An Explanation No
One Will Believe
With the curling season well
under way and enthusiasm at a
high pitch it behooves us to
publish an outline of the duties
of each individual member of a
rink, particularly for the lead
and c'cond stones, who are in-
cluded in the game merely by
virtue of the fact that it takes
four to make a rink, and he-
CallSe• somebody has to do the
sweeping.
THE LEAD.... This is a low-
ly and lonely person, who
throws the first pair of rocks.
He is supposed to thank the De-
ity every day that he exists, let
alone is allowed to play. All
curlers have served this appren-
ticeship ---and it is a remark-
able fact that 99 percent of
Rev. C. Traverser Was Preacher Here

in parts of Western Ontario. He
was horn in England and carne

ministry. Ile preached in Blue -
vale United Church from 1939-
1:444.
The funeral service was held
in the Hoffman funeral home,
Dashwood, with interment in
Thorndale Cemetery.
Surviving is his wife, Bessie

Mrs. Jim Elston
Conducts Study
BLUEVALE--Mrs. Carl John-,
stop presided at the Thankof-
fering meeting of the U.C.W.
in the United Church on Thurs-
day afternoon.
Some items of business were
discussed and a delegation was
appointed to attend the Pres-
byterial at Exeter on March
18th: Mrs. Alex. McCrackin,
Mrs. Stewart McLennan, Mrs.
Jint Elston, Mrs. Carl Johnston,
Mrs. Mel Craig, Mrs. George
Hetherington.
It was decided to appoint a
delegate later to the Leaders'
Training Course held at Alma
College, St. Thomas, in Aug-
ust.
Mrs. Jim Elston conducted
the study course and gave the
call to worship. Mrs. Glenn
Sellers contributed an Easter
thought and Mrs, Harvey Ed-
gar read the Scripture account
of the resurrection.
Mrs. Millin Fraser told of
the origin of Easter. The name
Easter, is nct in the Bible but
was an adaptation by early
Christians from the name of a
spring festival. The word Lent
is derived from Leuct, mean-
ing spring. The idea of an
Easter egg and the rabbit are
traditional.
Easter formerly was a me-
morial of the passover as well
as the resurrection and was pre -
them didn't serve long enough.
His duty is to alw a.s address the
Skip as "Sir", the third man as
"Mister". The lead person is
expected to see that the four
pair of rocks arc ou the ice,
and cleaned before the game
starts. He must uever come
closer to the house than the hog -
line except in the :weeping of
a rock or to deliver one from
the hack,
Ile must do not less than
of the sweeping, Ile is expect-
ed to keep the skip supplied
with cigarettes, and to provide
refreshments as required.
THE SECOND.... This per-
son is about one degree above
the lead. Ile is e'.pected to do
1,7.40 of the sweepine. He is ex-
pected to keep the third man
supplied with matches. He must
on all occasions •-`.c t the rock he
is supposed to take out or lie is
blamed for the loss of all games.
His chief duty is to see that the
lead does not forget to hring the
day's refreshments. In cases of
emergency, he is to assist the
lead in financing such purchas-
es. He is the one who is allow-
ed to insult the 1cad, the third
and skip considering it beneath
their dignity to address either
one of them in conversation.
THIRD OR VICE -SKIP....
This gentleman is in a class by
himself, ALWAYS. He could
skip the rink --in fact he al-
ways could skip it Netter than
the Skip is doing right now. He
assumes an air of condesiRend-
ence towards the skip. He does
the remaining 100 of the
sweeping. He holds the broom
for the skip to shoot at, and in-
variably tells the skip that he
should have tried the shot the
third man has chosen, and not
the one the skip has just missed.
He is the person who puts up
all points made by his side (if
any). He gives the skip an oc-
casional cigarette, lends him a
match, gives him a lot of un-
solicited advice and generally
embarrasses and confuses the
skip as much as possible, so if
the game is lost he can say,
with some justification, that he
should be skipping. (The high-
est compliment you can pay to
a third man is that he should be
skipping the team. They ad-
mit it always, but they laboron
with an air of resignation in the
good of the cause).
THE SKIP.... This is the
gentleman who gets up the rink,
often sacrificing valuable time
to the interests and entertain-
ment of three others who wish
to play for the season. He
ceded by 40 days of fasting.
Mrs, Mel Craig dealt with
the topic, " The First Easter
Morning", showing its signifi-
cance to Christ's followers and
to us.
Mrs. Charles Bosman and
Mrs, Glenn Sellers sang the
duet, " The Old Rugged Cross".
Easter hymns were sung.
ERN I E RICHARDSON'S
CURLING
CAPSULES
Although most of the in-
struction in p r e v i o us
articles has been for curl-
ers generally and skips in
particular, I feel it is neces-
sary to review the other
three positions on the team.
That is, not only the duties
of the lead, second and
third, but the qualities a
skip should look for in the
men he wants for these
positions.
Qualifications of a lead
are chiefly that he should
be good at making draw
shots and fair at hitting,
but most important of all,
he should have the ability
to draw to either side of
the house.
Another essential is that
the lead should be the
strongest sweeper on the
team and also capable of
judging the weight of a
rock with reasonable ac-
curacy.
If your lead man can get
his draw weight down be-
fore the opposing lead
does, you can usually get
the opposition to play your
type of game. This gener-
ally gives you a good jump
early and improves your
chance to win. The lead
plays an important part in
winning.
The lead man has to be
good-natured and patient,
because this position, I
would say is not the most
interesting of the four. He
should always keep in
mind, though, that his shots
are just as important as
those of his teammates.
A HITTER
Regarding the second
man, he should be a very
good hitter, able to throw
heavy weight as well as
being a better than average
draw man. The second is
gen e r a 1 ly considered a
clean-up man. called upon
at times to make a double
takeout for which he needs
that extra weight.
If the opposing second
misses a shot, it is then up
to your second man to draw
his stone into the house.
If he can hit well and also
make the important draw
you are a fortunate skip to
have such a man.
The second should also
be a good sweeper and
good judge of weight when
sweeping rocks played by
the third and skip. If your
lead and second sweep well
together it makes shotmak-
ing much easier for the
third and skip.
MORALE BOOSTER
It is tremendously im-
portant that one of your
front end players be a
strong morale builder for
the team. In the case of
our rink, it is my brother
Garnet who plays that role.
No matter what the out-
look, how badly we are
playing, or how far we are
behind, Garnet never gives
up and is always building
up encouragement. His en-
thusiasm seems to rub off
on the rest of us and we
have come on to win some
games that seemed lost.
In selecting a top lead
I would have to choose
either Wes Richardson or
Mel Perry, then Fred
Storey with Jimmy Shields,
Matt Baldwin's lead Bill
Price, and both Lloyd and
Glen Campbell of the
famed Campbell team of
Avonlea, Sask.
As outstanding second
man I'll take brother Gar-
net as one of the best, to-
gether with Bob Pickering
of Jack Keys' team. Rae
Warner with Hec Gervais
and Russ Lindburg who
was on Bayne Secord's
rink.
The general trouble to-
day is that when leads and
seconds develop their posi-
tions to a high degree they
feel they should move up
to third or perhaps skip.
I'm sure this is the reason
there aren't more outstand-
ing teams in the country.
adopts an autocratic attitude,
remains completely aloof and
confides in no one. Above all
he never discloses the intent be-
hind his shot and therefore may
not be subjected to criticism for
having failed. He does none of
the sweeping. He merely holds
the broom and his own temper,
while the rest of the rink miss
the one and strains the other.
He is supposed to be experi-
enced and make all decisions.
He must keep a stiff upper lip,
and not blush when he over-
hears the rest of his rink giving
his character reading to various
onlookers. If in the case of
pure accident, the rest have
fallen down badly, he must as-
sume a cheerfulness and endea-
vour to rake the game out of
sad defeat.
He must have the patience
of Job and the aggressiveness of
Napoleon, but he must never
complain least he be classed as
a poor sport.
Life with him is just one
crisis after another.
He generally finds himself
without a friend in the world
after the session is over. We ask
your sympathy for the poor old
Skip. -- Blenheim News -Tri-
