That High School Game w .1 Raymond Friday night for the Tanner Trophy so widely advertised was a boomerang, a waste of time. Thy boys seemed to have apoplexy. No floor plays whatever. As one fan told the coach it would have been much better to have mailed the trophy. It would have left a better taste in the mouths of the fans. The Raymond students are a well- drilled team. LIONS vs JACKS The score is now two games to one favor of the Lions. In Monday night's game in the Raymond Opera House the Lions led all the way. Final score 56-50. The Raymond fans seemed to take the loss worse than the Jacks. The two teams are evenly matched but Magrath has the edge on the coach. (Enough said.) There were no Raymond $10.00 bills to be seen Monday night. At the game the week previous Raymond backers, including Cardston, went home poorer but richer in experience « (A few hundred.) Jack Harker was fouled off Very early or he may have been high scorer. Dick Sabey in the last two games has been outstanding. The spark plug of the Lions, Blair Sabey has hit / his old-time stride and along with Wes Rice were high scorers with 13 points each. Max and Eldon are a power on the team. So level-headed. You cnn’t win without them. Max probably has the ball more than any other player and when you have the ball the' other team isn’t scoring. Proctor, Pashuk and G. Rice make up the team. Proctor neve: a big scorer but always getting his share of the re-bounds. A great team. Jimmie Wier of the New West Construction reports the Pothole reservoir filling rapidly. Seventy feet deep at the dam and backed up for two miles; and this morning it started running over the spillway. Where is your motor boat? Miss Jean Ririe, youngest daughter of Mr. & Mrs. J, Alfred Ririe, and Gordon \/ Coleman, son of Mr. & Mrs. Herbert Coleman were united in marriage, March 31st at the Cardston Temple with Pres, E. J. Wood of Cardston performing the ceremony. Besides the immediate family attending were Mr. & Mrs. Horace Ririe, Mr. & Mrs. M. Elmer Ririe and Lloyd Ririe. After the ceremony they took a plane to Great Falls, Mont, to spend their honeymoon. Monday, Miss Mae Hood and Mr. Floyd Derrick were married at the Knox United Church in Calgary. Wilson Hood was best / man and Miss Martha Houston attended the 1/ bride. They left for the coast on Tues- ' day for their honeymoon. Mr. & Mrs. G. V. Balderson and Mr. & Mrs. George Gygi of Lethbridge attended the ceremony. Mr. & Mrs. Lester Smith and children have moved to Kitchener, B.C. where they will make their home. Donnie and Gordon McClain of Raymond are visiting their grandmother, Mrs. C. McClain. .Friday last, -ne monthly meeting of the Ideal Rod & Gun Club was held in the dining room of the Sherba’s Cafe. Twenty- nine members were present. It was decided to construct a small floating wharf at the Pothole dam and to construct camp stoves, etc. as a beginning on the picnic grounds. President F. F, Balderson was authorized to order trees for delivery next spring. The club decided to award-three prizes to each Magrath Scout Troop for the best bird houses built, A special program with films will be arranged for next meeting and all of the Boy Scouts will be invited to attend. A motion was carried and all members pledged their support in reporting anyone seen breaking the game laws. Any law breakers can be reported to the Club executive who will turn it over to the authorities. If the person so desires his name does not have to be revealed. The centennial celebration committee ask the club to sponsor a contest for the naming of the Pothole Lake. The plans and rules of the contest are being worked out. Attention Farmerst During the next month which is the start of the pheasant nesting season, please take note of how many hens you see with each cock bird. We would like an estimate on what the true proportion in this district is. Five hens to one cock is just right. . .Jr. Turner W. H. McINTYRE ESTATE SET AT $970,537.33 Appraisraent of the estate of William H. McIntyre Jr., returned in Third District Court Wednesday, showed a total value of $970,537.33. He died Nov. 14, 1947. The sum included $258,400 represented by 1324i- shares of common stock in the McIntyre Ranching Co, which operates 158,000 acres in Alberta.

On Sunday morning he and Mrs. Gurney send 15 to'20 bouquets of flowers to the hospital for’’* patients who have no relatives in the city. A good project for local flower growers, we pass it on. Mr, ft Mrs. Vern Helton and daUghi§b§ She! Miss Leora Gurney were recent business visitors in Calgary.SCORE IN RAYMOND GAME, "Lions" 56, "Union Jacks" 50. By virtue of their above win in Raymond the "Lions" have established themselves as favorites to cop the series. Many fans(Raymond) seemed utterly dazed to witness their so called perennial champs go down on their own floor. Individual scores:- M. Sabey 8, J. Harker 8, W. Rice 13, D. Sahey 10, B. Sabey 13, E. Coleman 3, P. Proctor 1, W, Pashuk and G. Rice. High man for Raymond R. Mitchell 14. The Lions, however, are not out of the woods yet and all realize they cannot sell the Jacks short. With continued determination and fighting team spirit the odds should be in Magrath’s favor. REMEMBER TO-NITE: LIONS vs JACKS. Dean Bennett Lorin Critchfield was inquiring where he could get a cow. Said Lorin "with seven in our family it costs 680 a day for milk and butter is 710 a lb. " During the thirties (the depression years) many families lived off their cows. A family of children need milk, butter and cream. During the last few years we have had a lot to say about the way the town council legislated against the man with a cow. Expectally if found on a ditch bank. Today milch cows are scarce and cost twice what they use to. A little to-operation today from the town hall for the man on the street with a family is needed.
