Tbere being no .farther business Om meeting adjourned, stenshine comes and it necessary. In regard to the rece'n't letter about the way the eannival was runt off I suppose they will just hand their reply 111 as "gone with the wind," I mean the ice of course. And as for the wind, there has been plenty of it this Minster. Allow me, to smggest rolling the old baseball suit out of mothballs and talk up the baseball, as. from the looks of tlidngs stiring is just around the .corner, and 'we hope the corner islet 'streamlined with a cuave and the cuatve too long. Let's get ,started on the neat sports issue easily and not leave it go till the seasons is beef 'shat. Personally I revere anms and crow about, being able to play base- ball in the fall and hoefey in scoring but don't mind me. ,Ons thing worth rem'etmbering for another- season is that ithere is just as, good hockey talent in our town as there is in neighboring town's 'where they are filling their rini % to capacity and often to over- flowing. The attendance ranges from 1,000 to 2,000 spectators and acllmisison is, 25c to see play-off games that are really good to see. These crowds don% all come from the two towns- most interested in their own team but dative for miles over bad roads and' oet times in storany weather, .Any exile is a boon to any town, if bandied p101101ly. With a better truant average rinds in which to play, good poay'ees, a good suggestion would 'be to get a coach. If neces- sary, even to getoue frou out of town would be a paying proposition. Even the players might make the ocid dollar. 01 c'ours'e this would necessitate what le tailed (organization'). Theme ie no one or even two in eividultls' going to be able to run the whole show because from past experience, the outcome at the end of the season is only criticism. So there must be something wrong somewhere First of all you have to have the the players and rink committee working together-emot some, but All. Then, get th,e move in the rink and last but not least, produce siuoet worth the adandesion price then you will analte a go of it, Although not in'tereeted in adver- tising I would say one good snood 's an advertisement for another. Turclividuality in spoilt, is like Dieta:boashlp end that just isn't Canadian, vat you soz?

Marcel 6th, 1939 Dear Sir:— With the long winter evenings on a farm a person s'ometianes wonders just what to do with one- self. There is lots to do, but I mean, In the way of reeeat'on , One often hears 'some older person speak of the U,F:O. meet, Ing they used to attend. Where a group off two or more concessions would form a club and hold a meet- ing each 'week. After the business part of mach sneetblge was over, dancing took place and lunch serv- ed. A good time was had by all. Nowadays we seldom hear of such. Can It be than the farm folic are not pulling together like they used to? I know the world is in a bad elate of affairs, In general but sme- ll the farm folk can show them that an ,even poli on the whiffle -tree is one way to overcome a lot of what es needed, A Farmer's Daughter Brussels, Ont. g March 6, 1939 Brussels, Ont, lIr, Editor, Dear Sir: — I neti•eed, your l'eguest asking for letters to be published in. the mail- box. I have been informed that the young people of Cranbrook cennot u4ucJo tared why the dances which are being held in the ball there are so poorly attended. It seems to be, 'taht anyone who attended their dance a week ago Tuesday night should be able to answer tbet question pe1•.fec•t1y. Intvita.tions were given, to the Young people asking them to come to the dance, I understand it number of them attended and after a time the music started. ' 1npat euatly some of the boys wea'e refused: pemnutssion• to dance at a11. Naturally nobody wants to be suubhed on a Rouge floor. 110 hely would •d0 shell a thing. There's absolade'Jy no use of hav- ing [lances at all until your own people learn to leis and do unto others as yon would, that they auntie do surto you. We w•111 never bare n good dance at •Cranbroolc 1111111 We 1041r11 to give eeereene a hearty welcome anci a good time. I would strongly advise that the young i,eople get together and conte to slime final decision either dis- continue the dances' of -nee every body alike. Any glance run as 01115 has been a disgrace to the community, INT.p3REISTE'D To the Editor Dear Sir T have 0eletl waiting ,for 'replies to the letaalis you halve 'published 11611 0 Ibis column originated, but none have appeared.
