Northey's rink from Lakefield (they do most of their curling in Peterborough) emerged as winners, so this pair of rinks will repre- sent Central Ontario fa the women's Ontario Tankard final playoffs later this month, to be staged on Peterborough ice.

"Everything was high in my time, particularly prices. You're a-comin' into a high year and a big year, boy," he said. "I'm open for suggestions," said the young fellow.
