300 Yale Road West Phone SY2 9581 In B.C. Bonspiel Gordon Pyvis and Keith Gregory will skip Chilliwack rinks in the B.C. Bonspiel in Kelowna on Feb. 8. Two former Chilliwack residents, Reg Stone of Trail and Gar Taylor of Victoria, are listed among the top-flight entries in the meet.

Chilliwack will help kick off Minor Hockey Week in Canada by staging their own big night on Saturday, Jan. 23. The city that only entered into minor hockey two years ago is rapidly achieving a role of importance in the field for the enthusiasm, organization and foresight displayed in its operation a fact accentuated by the recent Pee Wee Hockey Jamboree. The accent in the organization is on enjoyment, and the end result should be the production of some fine hockey players, but at the moment the greatest concern of the CDHA executive, the men who handle the final administration of the minors, is to interest parents in the work they are doing with the youngsters. Make A New Year Rule Use Progress Want Ads, A Handy Tool make it an Old Style evening It is estimated that around 1,500 people passed in and out of the doors of the Coliseum for the jamboree, many of them out of town visitors, but the exec hopes that the forthcoming jamboree, which will see 22 local teams participating, will bring out a full house.

It will be a full house if you and you attend. THE JOB OF ADMINISTERING such a night will be tremendous, with 330-odd youngsters playing 20 to 30 minute games and some novelty acts squeezed into the evening's entertainment. Plans call for six Pups, six Pee Wees, four Bantams, four Midgets and four Juveniles to participate in the evening, every boy that is signed up to play minor hockey in the CDHA. One of the novelty acts will be a shuttle skating relay between eight-girl teams from junior high schools in Sardis and Chilliwack. Another of the acts is a deep, dark secret, but elicits only belly-laughs from the members of the executive when it il 1 'iy if 4 fl-' POISE AND PULCHRITUDE are part of the game when pretty 19-year-old high school student Marlene Ashdown takes the curling stone 'in hand.

But the main actors will be the kids themselves. BEHIND THE SCENES in the evening bill of fare are the usual chefs the association exec; volunteer score-keepers, refs and other officials; ladies' auxiliary, and the boys' coaches.

Judging by the rave notices appearing in various interior and Island newspapers on the smooth operation of the recent jamboree, and the generous letters of thanks that have been addressed both to the newspaper and the hockey exec by persons who visited Chilliwack, there is no need to worry about that end of it. The genuine hospitality of Chilliwack hosts andhos-tesses, aside from the hockey organization itself, made a deep and lasting impression on the visitors, also. And a packed rink next Saturday night would be an even greater testimonial to the interest the Chilliwackians have in minor hockey. Especially since these will be your own kids.
