In fact, the line- 1 - - e.- I- " M ( conclusively that, although Iiup- ert has no curling rink, thetc are a nmxbsr of good curlers resident there and there are some who could not find it convenient to come to Smlthers to curl. The question mot frequently asked of the Rupert boys when they were here was "When is Prince Rupert solng to have a curling rink?" Another question, frequently heard is "Why doesn't Rupert build a skating rink so that they can have some hockey teams? We understand that there will 'nnn be built in Prince Rupert a recreation centre and it seems ! that it is a matter of doitbt whether or not tt will include any provision for skating or curling. The people of the interior of Northern B.C. are more inter ested in winter sports than in any other sports and every winter sees competitions between the various towns In hockey and curling. This winter Smlthers sent their junior hockey team as far as Prince George and the visit has been returned by the Prince George juniors, Tills week-end there is a series of games 'being played at Smlthers between Vanderhoof and Smlthers for the Steen Cur. It has always been a matter of regret that Prince ttupcrt has never been able to provide competition in these sports. Hockey is necessarily a game' for youths and young men but curling can be played toy anyone' from 15 to C5, and by both men and women. If Prince Rupert should establish a recreation centre with out maklnsr provision for th?se sports it would seem to W a up In regard to penalties al most follows that of the standings. The exception is that the second place Detroit Red Wings and the fifth place New York Rangers trade places when if comes to penalties. All teams except Detroit and Chicago have spent more than 200 minutes In the box this season. The Canadiens, as well as having 264 minutes In the sin-bin, also have three misconduct and .one match penalties. shortsighted policy which probably would not be rectified in a generation and certainly would not be playing the game with n large percentage of your people, especially the young people, who would go In for these sports. Your city already has curlers who are of the "Brier cup" calibre and the advertising that would accrue from sending a rink to compete for mat trophy would be immense. Likewise, with one or two hockey teams touring the province, your city woula soort have advertising that you have not had heretofore. With good rinks for these sports it would be oniy one or two years before your various teams would toe competing with the best in the province. The action that wlll'be taken In this matter when the time comes for the establishing ot your recreation centre, will be watched with great interest all the way from Williams Lake and Quesnel along the line to Prince Rupert, and It is the hope of all of us that you will make provision for these winter sports arid so promote Interest in them throughout all of Northern B.
