By Glen May Mad, mad, Ever thought of playing a fast game of aggies with 42- pound marbles? You say no. Well then, ever thought of whisking a broom up and down a lengthy stretch of ice at a fu- rious pace about 40 times an hour? What, you're still answering in the negative. Listen my friend, just about every loyal vocalist of "O Can- ada" spends much of his copi- ous free time during the winter at marbles and sweeping. I im- agine by now you think I'm ready for the Funny Farm, but t'aint so. As soon as John Frost (and often before) drops by for his long winter stay, hordes of Canadians from coast to coast grab a broom, bundle up in woolen sweaters and warm pants, and head to the closest ice palace to begin a fast game of marble tossing. No doubt about it -- curling is reaching popularity propor- tions never imagined in Canada by those wearers of the kilt across the sea. In fact, this mar- ble game for adults has infect- ed this country to the extent where Canada is the most feared and respected nation at international curling bonspiels. Our teams have swept aside more competition than the Scarlet Pimpernel and his pals- did during the French Revolu- tion. In this day and age of the jet set and the "in" crowd, curling has become a national status symbol in Canada. No matter whether you belong to a private club or pay-as-you-play you can still show your newest broom mad world to guests when they drop by and smile: "How's your rink doing?" Or, "How's_ things down at the club?" Immediate- ly this classes you as "one of the gang" -- you're in with the local lads and lassies. When the gals gather for a game you get the feeling you're a judge at a tight pants contest. And the gals go for all the livli- est colors when selecting cur- ling wardrobes. The fellows are more conservative, but they're steadily swinging toward off- beat colors such as mauve sweaters and chocolate brown pants. And, if you're sweater is clustered with crests or badges yowre a focal point when you step on the ice. Six crests or badges and you've become the week's conversation piece. Usually curling bonspiels are better than a PTA gathering for catching up on the latest neighborhood gossip. If you want to find out why Jean Tur- nipsnip isn't drinking anymore then take up curling. You'll have the answer from 18 var- ious sources in about 106 sec- onds. It is truly amazing the game of curling is labelled as a sport. Marbles never made it and neither did whisking dust un- der the rug. Maybe we'll soon be able to call anyone taking part in a quick game of snap an 'athlete? But no matter how much you degrade curling it's popularity continues to spread. In fact, a young friend of mine has put curling ahead of the Rolling Stones. It most certainly is a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World. Many across-the-counter-drugs remove the pain but mask the symptom. Tension, everyday pressures and colds often cause headaches but persistent or chronic head- doctor. -ache may have its cause in some physicel disorder. Don't treat yourself for chronic headache.
