Thursday, July 3ist., 1941 HR eH HHH He HK FF * EAGLE HILL iy ee ee Mr. and Mrs. Bob Rose and children left last Friday for their home at Trail, B.C. The Canadian Legion held a very successful picnic at the local grounds on the 23rd. Ball games, races and treats for the children were the high- lights of the afternoon. ‘The CCF. social group met our west neighbors on Friday at the Sun- dre stampede grounds, and hed a very successful picnic. Hainstock girls played a pick-up team, and the former won. A boys’ game followed and races for young and old caused lots of fun. (Miss Patterson of Cal- gary jwas a guest speaker, and talked on the. Progress. of Democracy. The Jocal group had the booth both at the grounds and at the dance at night, which was held in the Sundre Hall. A large crowd attended and had a grand time. Music was supplied by Siebert Bros. of Eckville. Vale View boys. played Red Raven on Sunday at the Co-op. grounds and got beat 7-14. Mr. Rose spent Sunday at Sylvan Lake. . ; (Mrs. Rudd left on Monday morning for her home at Grand Forks. North Dakota. ea The annual Sports Club picnic was well attended and, we (believe. lived up to its reputation. Eight English Air Force boys came up from Calgary, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Bert Ford and Mr. and. Mrs. Tom Evans.
