We wanted to write last week about
Ted Bright's hat, but didn't have en-
ough space. It's an exceptional hat,
and Ted has worn it formore than
twenty-five years. The only time he
wears it is when he's bowling, and
he doesn't enter a tournament with-
out it. It's the •same thing to Ted
as chalk is to a school teacher, or a
baton is to an orchestra leader. it's
an instrument to express his moods
in a game. He waves the hat when
his side has done some good bowling,
and where other skips would cuss Ted,
takes off his hat and hits ,the palm
of his hand with it. At the same
time saying, in , that soft musical
voice, 'Well, by golly! I'll be darn-
ed!" You've heard him, haven't you?
It"s an exceptional hat.
The hedge of spirea at the west
end of the green is out in all its snowy
whiteness. Just in time to welcome
the bowlers for their first game.
