The Rambling Reporter SPRING is just around the cor- her. The calendar shows that it arrived last "Friday, and for one day last week we thought it had even turned the corner, Saturday's weather sort of changed our minds. The snow and wind came close to filling the country side roads, and while they are open {or were) once again the going will be on the tough side once a thaw really sets in. The weather Was not so bad however, that Len Mallinson, Jim Waterhouse, Verne Wilson and Arnold Leishman of Elk!Lake couldn't brave the storm and come into Liskeard to play the third game for the Mallinson- Waterhouse Challenge Curling tro- phy. This is the first year for the trophy and it was won by the New Liskeard rink. TRAPPERS are complaining of the deep snow this winter. One trapper told your reporter last week that he had just about quit for the season. The snow was too deep to go over the lines after the smaller animals, and it was also too deep to go after beaver, too. Garth Schmidt of Georgian. Bay Airlines is another who complains of the deep snow on the lakes. Just about every lake he flies to, whether it be a fishing party or on other business he finds that the plane usually bogs down in the snow and that in order to get off again he has to don the snow shoes and tramp a runway in the light and fluffy. DURING the past two or three weeks, New Liskeard Curling Club has been the scene of two on- slaughts of curlers from around the north. Three weeks ago, with John Buckham as drawmaster and chairman, Hydro employees from as far north as Fraserdale, and west to the Soo entered a one day Spiel &nd social week-end. John had his headaches, on account of the weather that snowbound some of the rinks which had entered, and then had to cancel out. Later they found that the Department of Highways had' the roads in good shape and they could make the trip. He spent a busy few hours re-juggling his draws but then ev- erything came out all right too. In order to get the games over with on time he made use of some of the Haileybury Curling Club's ice as well. Last week-end Taylor Hardware employees from Kirk- land Lake, North Bay, Sudbury and New Liskeard had a one-day bonspiel at New Liskeard and the boys are starting to look forward to these get-to-gethers. The curling was not of Brier category, and some of the boys wrote new rules into the game regarding guards that were in the way -- but we doubt if they will refer them to the Dominion Curling Association for approval. CONGRATULATIONS are in or- der for "Dad" Willars, now re- siding at Northdale Manor. Mr. Willars celebrated his 89th birth- day on Monday and is still hale and hearty. While his eyesight is Murray McKinnon Your Mutual Life 'Representative } 72 Nickel -- Cobalt Dial 4519 not as good as it was, Mr. Willars has not lost his sense of humor and his wise-cracks and jokes do much to enliven what might otherwise be a quiet evening.

The Ladies of the Catholic Guild held a very successful tea and bake sale in the town hall on St. Patrick's Day. The hall was ap- propriately decorated for the day. The individual tea tables were covered with white cloths with shamrock borders and napkins to match, The bake table was well stacked with buns, pies, cakes and other goodies. Plenty of home made «candy was also available. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dubie of Fugerville spent the week-end with the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Dubie At' a congregational meeting of the Latchford United Church held last Sunday evening a discussion was held regarding the question of supporting the Northern Ontario University Association. Some confusion was evident re- garding the two different organiza- tions at present trying to promote a university for the North and the opinion seemed to be general that the project would be best served by united action on an _ inter-de- nominational basis. However, a motion of suppor in principle was passed for the Northern Association with a rider that every effort should be made to achieve unity with the other group. Membership tickets in the Northern Association will be avail- able for sale.
