I was a bit oft Colour of, course, nad cold, bad temper, loss of sleep, bugged that. morning at the Queen's coffee club, disappointed at gal Elrauter .and the Pearson Government and displeased at Bill King. I was perturbed and made a couple a bad mistakes. My partner, Said Workman, in a very sneering man ner asked me how long I had been playing cards and why I had, never learned. Well, over sixty years ago I played pLost Heir and Old Maid and Post Office, which has nothing to do with cards, but a, better game. According to my old Scotch grandmother Euchre was a game devised by the devil to euchre you out of your soul. I was warned that if a euchre deck was on the table the devil was, underneath. I did sneak in a deck, in my bookbag, wrapped in a Sunday School paper but it was bu t it was discovered. I was then shown how quickly the Lord would destroy these cards when they were dropped in a hot stove, The joker did seem to, shrivel up awful quick. I kept on sneakinA• away to the more lenient neighbour and Alex Rut- 1 ledge "Leached" me. A big dish of spy apples, was always on the corner of the table, so I ate apples and watched. Boy, was I 1 proud when asked to play a hand while someone filled the stove with good old maple or beech. Years later we played in the yord garage, nrussels. The bell would ring at seven. Gordon McDowell. would help Fred Hunter sort the mail and over they would come. R. J. would be watching and by seven thirty a game was well under way. Bid Bell was a bit. or a bother. He didn't bother• much with euchre but he bothered everybody else, In the afternoon we had many more players, than customers. Bob Patrick, the soap king, Bill Wright, the Jamestown whiz, Johnny Simmons, CINR: Harry Kirby of the. Queen's Hotel, Harry was a real nice man. At night we all gathered at the Dog House, 3 tables at least and many on- lookers. Everyone seemed to have their own pet sayings: Bob Downing, when he pulled in the third trick, "Opine home"; Cleve Baeker, "I'm as cool as a cu- cumber"; Johnny SteiSs, "I had nothing but 4 tens and 4 nines'); I3ob Bowman, when euchred "You - You - Yoh"; Stan. Rutledge, "The cards might as well all be in one hand". MacTavish, Me- iLa.ughlin, Duncan, L'va,ns and many others, Now compare these players with the players of to- day, You Might as well compare pan Patch with Drumburlie Chief. Imagine Archie Willis and Jack Clark challenging me and Watt Scott. Amusing, ridi- culous and a hit of an insult. They have tie ability as Card players, but they do have a collosal nerve.
