The women at the foot of the stairway smiled, but looked puzzled. When the Canadians stopped singing, the four Scots women still looked a bit taken aback. No wonder. The Canadians had not been singing fo a welcoming committee. They'd been serenading four Prestwick cleaners waiting to board the plane to tidy it up. The real welcoming committee was waiting in the customs hall. A tour of the Haig Whiskey Factory was a high- light and the group was entertained in London by S. Thompson, head of Walkers Distilleries. Robin Welsh, secretary to the Royal Caledonian Curling Club, and of the International Curling Federation and Editor of "The Scottish Curler" presented Mrs. Wallace, as Captain of the Team, with his book "Beginner's Guide to Curling". In autographing the book he wrote that the Canad- ian Ladies team in Scotland had "set the heather on fire". The Scottish contingent will be back in Canada in 1976, and Canadians will not be back in Scotland til 1981. The exchange visits take place each five years. The Canadians were honoured in London at the only ice rink in all of that city, the Richmond Curling Club = There they played a curling match and were entertained at a dinner. The tour lasted from November 4, 1971 to November 25, 1971. ; Peggy Wellings, on behalf of the N .W.L.C.A. presented amethyst nuggets to opposition curlers, as well as commemorative coins from the new city of Thunder Bay and pen sets from the Terrace Bay r CREATIVE RINTING Printing with a Personal Flair . . .

The Canadian gals sometimes found themselves coping with conditions that are not considered the norm at home. With the exception of the facility at Stranraer, all the ice rinks are used for skating in addition to curling and the visitors had to adjust to no dividers, no pebbling between the hog lines, and at times, rock and western music being played for skating which was going on while curling was taking place in the arena. Stranraer was the ex- ception, being the only facility in Great Britain which is used exclusively for curling. This ex~ cellent four sheeter was built by a native of Windsor Ont., who purchased a hotel in the Scottish centre and then built the rink next door.
