Low reading for the week was 43 last Friday morning. Rain on three days totalled 1.25 inches.-- Cochrane Northland Post. ------ Jobs Not Scarce July unemployment figures for Temiskaming, released by an of- ficial, of the Unemployment In- urance Commission, paint a rosy picture of the local labo =**uation There are at present 112 males and 80 females registered with the commission.

In other words, Canadian investors in com- mon stocks--unless the prices of their securi- ties rose by more than 79%--not only gain- ed nothing at all in the stock market during this period, but actually lost part of what they formerly possessed.

In 1924 George bandaged the celebrated Maitlands' lacrosse team with Lionel Conacher, Livingston and company; and the great Australian oarsman H. he trained sculler Johnny Coulson B. (Bobby) Pearce in their prime, and in the early thirties tended the aches and pains of the West Toronto Memorial Cup hockey winners. The Best Argos Having served the Argonaut teams almost con- secutively from 1929 to the pres- ent time, George Stockwell took time out during World War II to serve with a field ambulance unit and was Cress with the rank of Regimental - geant-Major in 1945. That year, too, he read his name on_the King's list, awarding him an M.B.E. George Aspinal Stockwell has two favourite Argonaut teams which he elevates above all others, First, he chooses the great 1933 squad with Tommy Burns, Teddy Morris, Ab Box and the rest and then proudly adds the 1950 Grey Cup champions. Stockwell likes to point out a sur- prising coincidence about these two teams in that they both defeated Winnipeg for the Dominion Cham- pionship by a score of 13.to nothing. Asked about the greatest Amer- ican and Canadian Argo players to go through his hands, George picked two of the 1950 Americans as the best, respectively, on defense and offense .. . Buckets Hirsch and Uly Curtis. And, of the dozens of great Canadian players, Stockwell mentioned two as the outstanding exponents of the ie... Art West and Teddy Morris. "That Morris was a terrific team player," said Stockwell. 'He never weighed more than 160 pounds at any time, but if he could find even a twelve-inch hole in the enemy line he'd be through like a minia- ture battering ram. And, in all the games Ted Morris played he never once bothered to come to my rubbing table although sometimes, after a pane, he was so shaken up he could hardly find his street clothes in the dressing room!" Specially prepared by a prominent Canadian sports Authority for throes The Iron Mask In 1933, George Stockwell worked with several Toronto doctors in perfecting a playing-mask to enable the great Argo kicker, Ab Box, to continue playing although Box had sustained a broken jaw against Montreal. "Designing that mask was q@ite a task,'"' stated Stockwell. "It had to be stationary during play. It had to be made in such a way that it didn't hinder vision or hearing and yet Ab's face had to be pro- tected and supported. We made several before the famous Iron emerged. We must have been successful for it helped Ab Box and was then loaned out to many teams in Canada and even found its way over to the States several times."" @ o> Another Generation The latest Stockwell to ap- pear on the Argonaut train- ing scene is young, 17-year-old Bill Stockwell who was made assis- tant to his Dad this year. Or- iginally, this plan had called for @ appointment of Stockwell's eldest son, George Jr., but he was killed while serving with the RCAF over Singapore in 1943. Now, with his son in tow, George Sr. presides over the 1951 Argo- nauts as the RSM in charge of training and injury, and the team abides by the stern rulings of this regimental gentleman.

K. H. Turnbull of Duffault Ave., Rouyn, started the eggs rolling when he wrote many let- ters to hatcheries and wild-life bureaux in an effort to locate some Hungarian partridge eggs, on behalf of the Rouyn Hunting and Fishing Association, of which he is an active member. Unfor- tunately, no source of these eggs could be found. The assiciation decided to set- tle for 10 pairs of quail, which they bought in Pennsylvania and released near McWatters early in May.
