that close liaison between hand and brain that 1 d had for years but tbe- other night over at the curling club i pulled off a couple o shots that had them all gasp i felt about eighteen years thing

only things that threatened were hypir tension boozer s nose my trick knee my bad back a heart condition cancer of the lungs and the odd punch in the face from an irate sub fechber it was time ts act and when i make a decision theres ne- hesltancy in carrying it out it was only four or six weeks after i threatened to do some thing that i joined the curling club ive never been sorry ijnute pnywhote

anybody in years sink the clrl as though 1 knew all pink ball in the side pocket as about it neall as i had done most of us older curlers dont bother why i could go out there going on the ice much too nd make a complete fool of darn many women and young myself if i didnt go into the fellows but we do enjoy our game thoroughly so ive been game on the pool table in tht reeding articles on th sport clubi nd looking at some of those beer ads describing it and i m jutt sorry i didnt take chetting quite a bit about the up curling years ago but ifs roarin game with some of ideal for chap my age even
