lubber—and the Thai 'Government,
against the opposition of many of
its people, declared War on Britain
and the United States.

treaty with Great Britain and In-

Play for the Brier will be preceded by the regular, British Consols piaydowns which
determine the 10 sectional representatives. These will be staged by the various provin-

berth in the Brier playdown, has spurred hundreds of curlers throughout the country
to improve their curling technique. Today, Canadian curlers are generally recogniz-
ed as the world's best.
