THURSDAY, SEPT. 20th, 1951 THE HA ILEYBURIAN Page Three New Curling Rink Roofing Material Arrived Tuesday Returns From Pledges Will Be Thankfully Received; Progressing Satisfactorily Good progress is now being made on the club house end of the new Curling Rink, where prepara- tions are being made, not only for those who wield besom and stane but also for those who do the spectating and extra-curricular skipping. The framework is now ready for roofing and the material for that purpose has arrived and sev- eral loads were moved down to the site on Tuesday evening, and the balance on Wednesday. This will give the building the satisfac- tory "finished" look which means that the workmen will be protect- ed from rough weather for the in- terior work necessary. Curlers and others who have made pledges in connection with the building of this fine new ad- dition are asked to keep up their end and the rink will be ready for them when the suitable wea- ther rolls around. Considerable 'work has been done on the club house and every- thing, under the direction of the contractor, Mr. Hawthorne, is progressing favorably. Various activites are, and will be, taking place, to add to the fund being set aside for furnish- ing of the club room and locker rooms. It is understood that the Curling Club executive met last night to discuss matters in con- nection with the new rink. POINTERS ON STORING AMMUNITION GIVEN FARMERS, HUNTERS Farmers and hunters who have supplies of ammunition left over fromthe hunting season would be well advised to store it carefully in a cool, dry plac, according to K. N. Morris of the ammunition division of Canadian Industries Limited. Properly stored, sporting am- munition will retain its effective- ness indefinitely, he points out On the other hand, high tempera- tures or excessive humidity may cause the priming mixture to de- teriorate to the point where it will no longer ignite the powder efficiently, causing hang-fire and misfires. At home ammunition should be stored in a locker or cabinet in the coolest, driest part of the house. It should not be stored in a detached garage exposed to the sun, nor should it be carried con- stantly in a car that is usually parked in the sun. Destructive high temperatures are often gen- erated in both these places. Externally lubricated rimfire ammunition should be stored ina cool place because the lubricant will tend to melt or run at high temperatures, Mr. Morris said. Center-fire handgun ammunition should be protected against the action of powder solvents which many shooters use as cleaners and rust repellants. An excess of sol- vent may break down the oil- proofing seal of a cartridge and contaminate the primer and pow- der. Loaded shotgun shells shoud be protected from high temperatures and high humidity. Drying out ot the powder--as can happen when the shells are left inan automobile or truck during hot summer months--is often responsible for uncomfortable recoil. Haileybury-Cobalt Curling Ladies Hold Meeting There was a meeting held on Friday evening last of the Hailey- bury-Cobalt Ladies' Curling Club the committee in charge of the to discuss ways and means of raising money toward their ob- jective and to receive a report of Novelty Fair held recently. It was felt advisable that for the present nothing would be at- tempted owing to the fact that Cobalt members are planning on having an entertainment in the near future for the same purpose. Tennis Club Dance Proves Successful The Tennis Club dance, which was held at the Armories last Friday night proved to be very «successful. There was a large gathering and the committee net- ted approximately $100, which will be used to defray the ex- penses of the tennis court. It is expected that there will be fur- ther contributions on tickets out- standing, © The Tennis Club extends sin- PROVINCIAL POLICE READIED FOR HEAVY TRAFFIC Hand-picked officers trom Pro- vincial Police detachments all over Ontario nave a risky but importan job this summer: they have been assigned to motorcycle duty on the most congested and accident-prone stretches of highway in their dis- tricts. Their mission is to prevent acci- | dents; to cut down the kind of driving that helped kill 791 people in Ontario last year. Motorcycles are used in addition to the standard radio-equipped po- lice cruiser cars. When cruisers get tied up in heavy holiday traffic, the | motorcycle can still thread its way | through to reach the trouble spots and do something about them. While the motorcycle officer is more mobile than the man on pa- trol in a cruiser, he lacks the cruiser officer's continuous contact with superiors by two-way radio. Once! he is on his motorcycle beat he Bad Seen above leaving Provincial Police Headquarters Garage for vari- must use his own initiative in de-| ous parts of Ontario are three of the picked officers assigned to motor- ciding how and where he can do the} cycle highway safety patrol for the heavy traffic season.

Doyle, a personal briefing on safety law enforcement tactics is given by Traffic Inspector A, Witts to all provincial police re- ceiving motorcycles for the season. He stresses the importance of "working" the more hazardous and congested parts of each officer's territory. "Watch where the grief is buiki- ing up," the inspector urges, refers ring to the accidents shown by clus- ters of coloured pins on headquar- ters maps. His aim is, to enforce the traffic laws and prevent acci- dents with the least amount of pa- tro] mileage Inspector Witts also stresses to }motorcycle officers the importance |of being constantly on patrol as visible symbols of safety law en- forcement. In their more exposed position they can be seen by many more drivers than can the officer in a car. And even the sight of a po- ,liceman can often deter drivers who might otherwise be tempted to drive | fast or too dangerously. cere thanks to the Officers' Mess of the Algonquin Regiment for He will represent the juvenile sponsoring the event. group at the annual N.O.H.A. © Recently 29th.

The volun- teer brigade in that suburb did not know of that call, and the For Prompt Service Call UNION TAXI Phones 88 and 235 town fire trucks, when they got out there, were met by the lady who had put out the blaze single- handed. As a consequence of this the Brunetville organization, which had been raising voluntary levies to meet the call charges, found itself unable to gather in further monies, and have had to suspend their agreement with the town. This incident reflects the importance of responsibility in putting in fire calls, to which the town fire-fighters must automat- ically respond. -- Kapuskasing Tribune, peasines Mine Three Girls to RCAF The Air Force has beckoned three local girls to come and don their uniforms.
