periods: A rain dance 'wasjust
one of the activities during the
day and by 'the amount of rain
that we, received this week, . it
•\ proved to be successful. .

that not just the eight xears to
16 years ' age group was
interested to participate in active
soccer, but young anti senior
adults would also like to have an
active. team.
One such adult is Dr. Lorna's
whowould very much like ,to .Trophy.
take an active part in soccer. As
I arri..interest - d myself, I have The paddle boat races will be

. The. report also points 'out
that the social membership ,is
note as large as it could be and
since many 'of the shareholders
neither golf or curl, he club
hoped they might 'becoirie social
members. At present the social
membership fee is $35 annually.
The -directors also announced
a number, of other plans,set for
the future including the
President's Ball on August 13.
