RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO TU. 4-441] The enthusiasm of thousands of newcomers is expanding the girth of curling to a point where it threatens to “bust its britches". When countless golfers, who have benefited by the aid of profess- ional instruction. turn their idle hands in winter to the intricacies of a new game on ice with rocks and brooms, they too are anxious to learn the rudiments in ten easy lessons and want none but the best to teach them. Thus “pro- fessionalism”, a term distasteful to many of the older defenders of the idea that curling is an amav teur sport, has raised its unfam- iliar head. As long as curling was conduc- ted at a quiescent level and prac- tised quietly behind closed doors by the brotherhood, with only a With the advent of several swanky curling-golf layouts in To- ronto, Winnipeg. Edmonton and Vancouver, plus the opening of commercial curling coliseums like the Tam-o-Shanter in Toronto, the Curlodrome in Regina and other pay-as-you-play rinks, a new era has dawned for the Royal and Ancient game.

C. Barnes, , local manager of the Bell announced this week. Garnet and Don Campbell of the famous Avonlea rink were the first to face the shrieks of anguish that emanated from official brass when they arrived in Toronto two years ago. Now they have been jdined by several other young Saskatchewan shot-makers of re- nown who entered the game through-high school curling ranks. Bayne Secord and Stan Larson listened to the beckoningxfinan- cial fingers of the East, as des- cribed by Don Campbell while the three of them were going a- bout the business of winning sparkling new automobiles at Swift Current late last winter. and accepted posts. Now to the big question -â€" should these curling pros 'be al- lowed to enter district and prov- incial competitions? The answer is an unequivocal = Yes! Here are the reasons. First, professional- few new members initiated into the secret rites each year, there was no need for paid instructors. But in the past ten years the tidal wave of curling interest has swept a multitude of new curlers into the 2,000 clubs and there is no sign of the ‘crest being reached yet. Whether we like it. or not pro. fessional instructors are badly needed in curling today to cope with the insatiable demands of new players who do not _-Want the trial-and-error method of learn- ing.

NEWMARKET : The National Employment Office reports an in- crease Ln unemployment. Last week~end report showed 1390 1m- placed applicants, The construction of the new work centre will relieve over~ crowded conditions at the Mount Pleasant garage, and the instal- lation of the testing equipment will relieve the test centre now located at 72 Eglinton Ave., East. A second storey, measuring 47 by 145 feet, is expecting to open early in February and will house offices for staff as well as a test centre for the dial exchanges serving ‘Don Mills, Thornhill, Richmond Hill and Maple. The testing equipment will also be used for the Markham and Union- ville exchanges when they con= vert to dial service in 1962. As soon as curling profession- als reach the staths of the travelL ing golf pros who play in money tournaments, then the rule-mak- ers will have to act. But that is years away. In the meantime, our ever-increasing new curlers need badly the services of professional instructors to get them off to the right start. Heaven only knows that the mortality rate was am- ong novitiates under the old sysâ€" tem' of “This is the in-turn- and here is the out-turn. Go ahead and shoot!” Hundreds of frustrat~ ed newcomers quit after .one ag- onizing season‘ Lets not get too concerned about this handful of paid instructors playing in top-flight competition. Their presence will do curling more geod than harm. November ism in curling cannot be compar- ed with a similar occupation in golf. Curling isra team game re- quiring the cxpert play of four men to win any major competi- tion, and as a club cannot normal- 1y afford the luxury of more than one pro, any team representing it will not be playing with a packed rink (or a limit of one pro per team could be imposed). Second« ly, the paid instructor or man- ager is usually so absorbed in his duties that his participation in bonspiels will be limited; there- fore his et‘fiectiveness reduced. For my money a curler who has an occupation that allows him to curl all winter and live on the bonspiel trail has a greater right to be tabbed a professional than a busy. curling instructor or rink manager. In addition, a capable coach needs an occasional oppor- tunity to keep his own game in respectable condition if he is to be an effective teacher of the finer points of strategy and play.
