\u201cJam Can Curling\u201d was the young people\u2019s way of being like the grownups.\u00a0 They played out on a homemade outside rink or dugout.\u00a0 Empty cans were filled with sand and water and left outside to freeze.\u00a0 An old spoon was sometimes placed to freeze in the middle, with its bowl part sticking out.\u00a0 This served as a handle.\u00a0 When they played the game, there was no target other than the skip\u2019s broom.\u00a0 Many a dispute arose over whose jam can was closest.<\/p>\n
