Noranda Curl-, ing Club, true to the tradition they have established over the years provided some of the best ice curl- ers ever threw rocks down and in addition added hospitality that ether clubs will find it thard to equal. New Liskeard rinks failed to reach the money in any of the events, but our compatriots from Haileybury won a few more games. With 73 rinks entering the| competition in the four-day 'spiel, it was Saturday at 2 p.m. before the first ones could pack up and head for home. All told it was a good "do." This week-end, curlers, fisher- men, skiiers, wood cutters, etc. will invade Temagami for their big winter carnival. Entries are still coming in and it will be the fargest yet. Accomodation will be taxed to the limit. To give it a good start the Speaker this week carries a picture of a good catch of trout, picked up a week ago-- one could have added one more 18 pounder to the string, but it was in the frying pan before our photographer got around to it# For the benefit of those from a dis- ttance, we hope 'they are biting this week-end even though we person- ally do not expect to get back from a newspaper meeting in Toronto in time, iat least to participate. We contemplated entering the euttir=. contest, but this year will 'take a rain check and just "saw wood" instead. Now that Stu Francis is starting to get around again, we iare trying to prevail upon him ftto take our place and enter the contest, just to get him in shape for the trout fishing in Bartle lake come May first. Spring must be in 'the air. Ed- die Collier was in the other day trying to line up the 'advertising for the Fall Fair Prize List. He was having pretty good luck, too, getting the "John Henry's" on tthe dotted line to make tthe prize list 1a little more interesting than fiast year. All of which ileads one to think that February is ap- proaching oblivion, and with the coming of March and milder weather, spring is just around 'the corner, and the last curling broom should be hung up in just about six weeks and .then it won't be long before the fishing tackle boys are out. Probably the next item on the agenda will be a notice that Paul O'Reilly is hav- ing a showing of Christmas toys for next year. The trend these days is sure to rush the season. We were somewhat surprised last week to read in the Kapuskas- jerate groups ing Tribune that that week's issue would be their last. Phil Kelly has found that the business of publishing a newspaper has just about as many trials and tribula- tions as buying stock in the NOGA. The plant of the Tribune has been advertised for sale and will te sold piecemeal to anyone that wants it. Founded by Ed Stephen- son (he would sooner do time than file reports for the bureau of sta- tistics) Mr. Kelly bought 'the Tribune about four years ago. It was tough going right from the start. The scarcity of skilled help didn't help matters any or ease the path of the publisher. His in- ability to get good help for all de- partments at wages the plant could pay was the chief stumbling block. Kapuskasing is a town that can support a good newspaper, but it is also one where to make a finan- cial success, there should probably be a bi-lingual paper, and that kind is harder to make a success of. Residents of Kapuskasing will miss the Tribune, because no mat- ter how good a daily newspaper tries, it can't take the place of a weekly newspaper in the same area. Over in Rouyn, LaFrontiere has started work on a new building to house their job printing and news- paper. Reports are also that it is the intention of the publishers to go daily probably sometime before the end of the year. The Rouvyn area should be large enough to support a daily, especially with about 80 per cent of the 30,000 residents of the Twin Cities being classed as non-English, then of course with a daily they would have an equal number of persons as potential readers in Malartic, Val d'Or and Amos and other ad- jacent towns. We wish them the best of luck in their effort. Cobalt Girl Guides Regular Meefing Acting Captain Giovanella as- sisted by Helen Dunning were2 in charge when the ist Company of Cobalt Girl Guides held their meeting at the Community Hall on Monday, February 16th.
