after e gruelling 28 hours and 4 minutes roller skm- ing in the weekend marathon dolores picked up 25 for the exercise mother and father kept a vigil as the second anuyal marathon shattered last years records staff photo questions and answers about proposed new acton curling club by rev a ii mckenzie as indicated in our article last week announcing our hopes of getting construction of new curling facilities underway this month we shall continue to give out information each week with a view to giving prospective curlers and the citizens of acton a clear understanding of our aspirations many questions have been asked the persons engaged in selling lifetime initiation certificates and i shall deal with some of these in this instalment of news question what will the new curling club completely equipped and furnished coif answer the curling club executive believes that the cost can be kept between 70000 and 80000 and is therefore using the figure of 75000 as a basis for planning at the present time hive curling clubs durham mount forest paris shelburne and stayner which have provided us with figures concerning their costs built equipped and furnished their rinks for 58000 or less in the years i960 to ljhl making a realistic allowance for increases in building costs over the past few years we think our firojected figures are not out of me of course there are curling rinks in other centres which cost much more to build and in tome places it has been mistakenly believed that the membership could tarry the burden of an excessive financial load the intention of the building committee and executive is to keep the overall cost as modest as is compatible with having pleasant and functional facilities question what will the annual fees be answer the social membership fee has been set at 25 this will permit a person to come to the club at any time during the culling season to watch culling and to enjoy the fellowship ot other members and to participate in the opening and closing social evenings and other organized social events the lee lor curling has not yet been set but wdl hkelv be decided in three weeks time when we have a more definite knowledge ol how man persons will be curling this year the executive is most anxious to keep this fee to 75 or less tor a man and his wile for an individual adult it will probably be 40 or 45 this means that with six days of curling per week as opposed to two days in the past- 3 couple will pay about half aj much more for three limes as much curling in other words the coslpergame for curling will be decreased markedly for anyone who curls two ot three times a week in the future question wdl special groups be given a place in the new curling dub answer yes we hope that the number of high school curlers will be greatly increased and it u very likely that a high school league wdl be organized with curling in the late afternoons persons under 21 years of age do not have to procure lifetime initiation twontynine hours on wheels it shouldnt happen to u car yet fur the stronglcgs who kept puce it was a profit wheeling weekend in actons annual roller derby ul the community centre a

proved to be a minute too tired and settled for the 15 third prize money andre conway was u minute out of the money and david uittorf finished firth shortly before midnight suturduy for those who watched on the certificates to qualify for membership this exemption has been granted with the hope of attracting many more young people to this heulthftil and enjoyable sport not many people in tins area are completely engaged in farming but should there he enough interest and support for u farmers club within the club i feel sure the executive would he delighted in have it operating and if there are enough business women wishing to have a grouping of their own this can certainly lie arranged we anticipate however that the popularity of mixed curling with two men and two women on each rink will continue and that the membership of the club will contain a great many married couples of all ages question how much time will be granted a person who has never curled before to make up his mind about the game before he has to buy an initiation certificate answer the first part of the season from approximately november i until christmas this will involve the payment of hallyearly fees and the curling will be done in the acton community centre if at the end of this probation period a person wishes to continue his affiliation with the club he will be required to buy his initiation certificate 100 for a man and 50 for a woman and 2 to 3 months will be given for him to complete payment thereon opp report during the week of september 22 to 28 officers ol the milton detachment
