It is not necessary that you read music, only that you enjoy singing and good fellowship. We meet each Monday from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Recreation Centre. The Chorus makes several trips during the year and helps local organizations entertain at spec- ial functions. The highlight of the year will be our participation in the mass sing at Grand Rapids, Minn. Our ranks have depleted to the extent that if we do not get additional members we are in danger of having to cease activities. It would be unfortunate if this group who has brought enjoyment to the people of Terrace Bay and its name to many communities both in Canada and the United States would have to dis- band. If interested please contact Clarence: Buck at the post office or phone 3280 after 5 p.m. WE NEED YOUR HELP!! GOLF NEWS Last week's tournament winre rs are: Twilight - Low Gross H.
