We were to play Marathon's Pony League, but due to rain, were unable to play ball, Asa substitute, the boys were initiated into lacrosse, with the fine help of Ed Bowlin, and it sure was fun. In fact, were given 7 lacrosse sticks on loan for our boys (from 13 to 15 years of age) to practice prior to a game in Terrace Bay against Marathon this Friday at 7:30 pem. We would like to have you drop in to see this new activity in our community, to take place in the Arena, We wish to thank Mr, John Jeanneret, Mr. Willard Vezina, Mr. Malcolm Craig and Brian Harvey for making this trip possible by helping out with transportation.
