CURLING COMMENT From time to time throughout the summer the curlers have been busy getting their rink ready for the instal- lation of artificial ice, W. H. Edwards chairman of the building committee, has directed operations with Dune McDougall, Lloyd Ratz, Norm Rin- toul, Ron Rae.—Dunc. Kennedy and Wilf. French responsible for different building projects. To date the ground surface is nearly ready for the brine pipes; the basement foundations are in and Dune. Kennedy and his men are speeding the work on the club room walls. A very great deal of vol- unteer labor has been contributed as well as quantities of material. The contract with Locke Brothers of Toronto, calls for ice ;by October 1st. It is the purpose of the Curling Executive to invite the curlers of the neighbouring communities for friendly games during the first weeks, It is also in their plans that children of public school age shall be allowed to skate three periods a week. Artificial ice is an ambitious under- taking in a town the size of Wingham, but in this case it is backed up by a substantial subscription list and the way is open' for others in the commun- ity to join the club and so have a part in the fellowship of curling.
