The gang left in a special section of the train last night for the '.spiel, well-known for its good fellowship and hard, competitive play. Last 'spiel we attended was in Kimberley, so we'll see how northern curlers stack up with the Kootenay sharp-shooters. While the kilts were missing, Jimmy Robertson was down to the station platform to pipe the curlers aboard. Jack Laurie was on hand to wish them luck. Missing was Clt-orcr IHbb, who left by car yesterday afternoon. This is the biggest representation ever to head for Smithers to compete in the 'spiel ... we hope to bring home a few trophies.
