been done outdoors without very much 

 shelter but in that year a building hous- 

 ing three rinks and a clubroom was con- 

 structed by farmers and villagers donat- 

 ing their labor. Total cost of the build- 

 ing, according to the youthful, dark- 

 haired secretary-treasurer, was $2,500. 

 Club dues are $5 annually. 



The Waltham Curling Club has con- 

 tributed much to the feeling of coopera- 

 tion among these La Salle county farmers. 

 An artificial breeding association was or-

 of the curlers took the floor to advocate 

 a soil conservation program during a 

 gathering of the players. 



From the stove-heated clubroom spec- 

 tators can sit in comfort and watch the 

 curlers through large glass partitions. 



The curlers are a friendly lot who are 

 pleased to have visitors come in, watch 

 the game and ask questions. Some day 

 they hope curling will be adopted else- 

 where in downstate Illinois to provide 

 some competition. They would like that. 



But till that day they will go on swish- 

 ing their brooms and sliding their rocks 

 across the ice, talking about crops and 

 prices and keeping the frosty air ringing 

 with their shouts, their laughter and their 

 good-natured griping when a shot isn't 

 played just right.
