Langford Miller and Manson Martin brought provincial distinction to the town when they annexed the Manitoba grass court men’s doubles tennis title at the tournament in Minnedosa last week. Their sparkling three set victory was scored at the expense of Sidney Hancock and G.T. Turley, of Minnedosa, the standings being 7-5, 6-1, 6-3. They brought home with them the coveted Turley cups and prizes. These cups have been in circulation since 1922 and have never been outside Winnipeg, Brandon or Minnedosa before this year. Congratulations to the local boys who scored for Neepawa.

The family hosted many parties and dances in their mansion of 46 rooms that included a ballroom, a billiard room, a drawing room, a large formal dining room and an impressive tower.

The Chevrolet Camaro was GM’s kneejerk reaction to the unmitigated success of Ford’s 1965 Mustang pony car and was first introduced for the 1967 model year. The name Camaro was thought to be derived from the French word camarade, which means friend, pal or comrade. The implication being that this was a car for having fun in and to enjoy with your friends.
