Some fi- nancial writers even go so far as to blame the scarcity of gold for the greater part of the depression of the past year. It is held that two countries, France and the United States, have cornered the supply to some extent, leaving the balance of the world to suffer fro mthe shortage. This, it is believed by mining and financial men, will result in increased pro- duction of the precious metal. Even at this season, when new prospects are usually not being kept very much before the public eye, there are signs of activity and it is confidently predicted that before the year is out the industry in this country at least will have received a fresh impe- tus. All authorities appear to be agreed that conditions in general are due for improvement, that the present difficulties will all be surinounted and that Canada will enter soon on a new era of pros- perity. Fine Healthy Sport For fine healthy sport and the mingling of a bunch of jovial men, we recommend the curling rink on any week night during the winter. Perhaps in no other game is to be found a greater --igling of men in all walks of life and men of all ages enjoying a game that not only gives the best of exercise but engenders a real sporting spirit. It is no un- common sight to see a husky son wielding his broom at the com- mand of a stout father. Neither is it uncommon to see and hear an otherwise perhaps humble customer urging his bank man- ager to greater effort for the good of the game, and it appears to be also the favorite sport of preachers. There are men who in the daytime pursue quite hum- ble callings mingling with mem- bers of the learned professions; there are men who have to pay their annual fees in instalments playing with others who don't have to work at all, and they all seem to enjoy the game equally. There may at times be disputes over matters of policy in the club, there may even be some bit- terness between members, but when it comes to joining in a game, there is none of this. So far as our knowledge goes, and it covers quite a few years of membership now, there has never been a fight on tlie ice of the lo- cal curling club New Officers Elected By Fire Brigade At their annual meeting last week the members of the Hailey- bury Fire Brigade elected their officers for the year 1931, with the exception of the election, there was only a small amount of routine business done at the meeting.

O. Bonspiel at New. Lis- keard, opening on Monday, Feb- ruary 2nd. In a letter sent out this week the New Liskeard Club and the Bonspiel Committee, par- ticulars of the big event are giy- en and it is expected that all clubs along the line will be represented. Haileybury and New Liskeard rinks will likely comprise the greater number, as the two clubs are so handy by that the problem of transportation is practically eliminated, but there are assur- ances that all clubs in this sec- tion of the North will have en- tries. It is planned to commence the first draw at 3 p.m. on the open- ing day, with further draws at 6 and 9 p.m., and the committee hopes that all entries will be in by Saturday in order that the draw may be made and rinks no- tified by wire of the time they will commence play. The same number of events will be compet- ed for as in other years and the entrance fees will be the same: Home rinks, $20; Haileybury rinks $10 and all other rinks, $5. Hotel accommodation is being arranged in both and Haileybury. The letter from the New Lis- keard Club suggests that at the bonspiel a meeting be held to consider the organization of a Curling Association in this sec- tion of the North Country. They believe, from information gather- ed, that there will be no represen- tation at the Northern Ontario Curling Association bonspiel at Sault Ste Marie the same week and the following paragraph sets out what is proposed might be done, if the other clubs concur: "Following up the general trend of opinion expressed last year with regard to the formation of an Association taking in territory along the T. & N.O. Railway and points north and also that por- tion of Northern Quebec, it has been suggested that thic Associa- tion be proceeded with and that an organization meeting be held at some time during this year's Bonspiel. In order that this matter be satisfactorily handled a definite expression of opinion of all clubs should be forthcoming. This would, of course, require that all clubs appoint two repre- sentatives with full instructions and voting powers. "Tt is generally considered that during the bonspiel would be the ideal time to make a decision in the above matter, as practically all those interested will be in at- tendance and that the occasion would be much more convenient than trying to call a meeting of the proper representation at any. other time. "We would therefore appreci- ate your co-operation in endeay- oring to find out at once the op- inion of your club as to the form- ation of an Association. If satis- factory we will make arrange- ments for the holding of a meet- ing for this purpose, with repre- sentatives of all clubs present, so New Liskeard Fifteen Persons Made Homeless By Fire Tuesday House in Bucke Township Lost With Entire Contents in a Few Minutes Fifteen persons were rendered homeless when the dwelling house occupied by Wilfred Bilo- deau, dairyman, who lived on the Silver Centre road in Bucke Township, was destroyed by fire in a few minutes on Tuesday af- ternoon. Other buildings were saved, although the cowshed was on fire twice, and the family au- tomobile had to be hauled out by horses from the garage, which adjoined the burning house. Practically nothing was saved, and the loss will amount to more than $1200, with no insurance on either building or contents. The fire originated apparently be- tween the ceiling of the lower storey and the floor of the rooms above and probably started from the stovepipes. The fire occurred about 1.30, Mr. Bilodeau said, and he and his son-in-law, who lived with him, were starting out for the bush when the other occupants of the house at home ran from the building to give the alarm. Both men had been inside the house shortly before, and 'H. Gagnon, the son-in-law, was up- stairs changing his boots, notic- ing nothing wrong then. But so | part fell in within a few minutes Jand Mrs. Bilodeau, her younger children, and Mrs. Gagnon and | her baby had barely time to es- cape. | Mr. Bilodeau had at least $60 in bills in his cash box, he esti- mates, and Mr. Gagnon-$30 in his clothing, and this money went up in flames. All of the furniture and most of the other household effects and the family's clothing were lost, together with the wed- ding present of the Gagnons. The building was owned by David Giroux. Council Discusses Relief Matters at Regular Meeting (Continued irom Page 1) willing to provide the extra hous- ing accommodation. The council received a long letter from a discharged member of the volunteer fire brigade, set- ting out his side of the dispute between himself and the fire chief which had resulted in his being laid off. Councillor Bell, chair- man of the fire and light commit- tee, stated that he had investigat- ed the circumstances and did not believe the council should take any action, unless they wished to uphold the action of the chief. 11 was decided to leave the matter in the hands of the committee. It was decided that an adjust- ment would be made in the water rates charged on the Bishop's Palace, when it was pointed out that, while the building contained 32 rooms, only eight or ten of firm a hold had the fire gained when first noticed that the upper The Indians Are Coming to the Classic Theatre, Cobalt.

The council re-elected Messrs. G. H. Dickson and L. H. Fergu- son as the town's representatives on the High School Board and accepted the application of S. J. Mason and R. W. Douglas for the appointment of auditors for the year. It was decided to leave over the appointment of the other town officials until a later meeting. Dr. Arnold, M.O.H. told the council that, while washrooms were provided in both the public and separate schools, there were neither soap nor towels, and he advised that this be remedied. The council decided that this was a matter for the school boards and these bodies will be notified of the need.
