If we remember rightly, the matter was left until the eleventh hour last year before necessary repairs were made and then what was done was of a tem- porary nature. It is due to the townspeople that this majter be taken in hand immediately, and the building be put into a shape thatjwill guarantee the public safety and satisfy the citizens tbat there is no danger there to themselves or their children. We quite under- stand that this building is private property, but it is used for a public purpose and must be put in. proper In talking to Mr. Tom- monds about this matter he said that repairs would be made if the rink is to be used this winter, but it might be possible that he would pull the building down. This may be quite satisfactory to Mr. Tum- monds but not to the townspeople. Hockey and skating, snowshoeing and coasting, are. the only winter sports we have iu Pdrt Perry. = The latter two are wholly dependent on snowfall. If the rink is torn down, the town will be deprived of its [leading winter . sport, If such action is to be taken, the peoble should know at once... We do not want to find out.in' November that the rink is to disappear. Those interested in sport should look into the matter at once. We cannot afford to be without healthy sport f atter of vital mportance to the citizens, and the eople should not. rest until we "-- pone for next "The Fair" WATCH Don't Good forget MONET'S ...

Those Big Fish When a big fish is caught the catcher is justly proud of his catch aud while he may not wish the whole world to know it, he doesn't like the credit to be given to some other fellow.. Last week we. re. rted the capture of two big fish y Messrs, Flint and Orr. It seems that there was a boy in the party who captured one of the fish, The fortunate fisherman was' Harry Brooks. We hope he will catch many more like it before he goes to the 'happy huntin; grounds" where 'the fish are easier to t a catch. £73 We have not reached the end of
