XVhere did'ya get that from?. CLARENCE D. MURDOCK-Elec Although he claims Canora as his home town, we seem to hear a great deal more of Estevan. Anyway, Clarence is always willing to bet his last nickel on Saskatchewan, in any game, and against any odds. lt seems that he took his first two years there.
