Curling clubs sweep North Western bonspiel trophies
Six Russell and Inglis curling clubs entered the Foxwarren bonspiel. The Inglis Russell team led by Thomas Jackson won the Grand Challenge, defeating Mac Murray of Binscarth in the final after beating Norman Major of Rossburn in the semifinals. Bill Westwood also claimed a Grand Aggregate share with his rink. In secondary events Elmer Shepherd from Russell placed fourth in Merchants, while Jack Walley of Birtle won in the same division. The Thomas shield went to Russell via Eddie Leifer over Mathewson of Foxwarren. A large crowd attended Memorial Rink with lunch by the Ladies Auxiliary.
