Rained, Rained, Rain +The Summer Carnival had every- thing except good weather. Cham- ber of Commerce and Service Club officials in the three towns are ruefully totting up their expendi- tures and trying to keep the red ink to a minimum. . The Summer Carnival was a fin- ancial loss for the. most part, due entirely to the weather, which just wouldn't co-operate. In fact, the New Liskeard Chamber would have been better off if it had rained a little harder: - ieee "The Chamber took out rain in- surance, but the precipitation on "any one day wasn't sufficient to €ollect on the policy. 'In the Tri-Towns, the Carnival started off with every indication of success when-Al. Balding and Bob Gray took on the Morland broth- ers from North Bay in an exhibi- tion match Wednesday afternoon at the Haileybury Golf Club. |The pros gave some time to younger golfers in an unscheduled golf clinic in the morning at the Haileybury Club. Later they had a golf clinic for adults and then stag- ed the- exhibition match before more than 300 spectators. ,There was a good turnout at the arena for the Canadian Legion's boxing show with four Northern titles at stake. 'North Bay boxers took three of the titles, with Johnny Klimitz de- feating Billy Cream of Kirkland Lake for the light heavy class. Kenny Boivin of North Bay took the featherweight' crown, and Gerry Roy, also from the Bay, the lightweight. Kirkland Lake's Har- old Meany liped out North Bay's Hank Boone in the first. round to secure the middleweight title. The Jaycees. car rodeo drew-a fair crowd despite the gray 'skies. Dean McFarlane came out on top in the men's event, and. Rita: Das- chuck proved that the girls can drive too. 'In a ten-mile bike race, John Marchese rode a long ten miles to win the bicycle race, while New Liskeard won the Tri+Town swim meet-with 89 points to 56 for Twin Lakes and 16 secured by Hailey- bury. Cobalt's big mining day was seheduled for Thursday, and. the turnout was disappointingly small. Ken Cote and Paul Phillion got the, Town Council won its open chal- lenge to all comers ina tug-of-war, as no one else turned up. 'In the evening at New Liskeard "the King' Ganam Show at the ar- "ena was a big success, in fact, Club 60, which sponsored King Ganam had an excellent turnout for every function it ran. ~ : In New Liskeard Friday, the Chamber of Commerce had) good luck between showers with. its soap box derby. With the aid of,the local OPP, who: did a good job in' con- trolling motorized traffic, and a fair job of controlling the dozens ' of small boys flying. in all direc- tions, the soap box derby attracted a lot of attention. : In the evening delegates started to arrive' for Club 60's youth jam- | boree, and a sizable crowd enjoyed the wrestling at the arena. : Saturday was-all' wet, only the delegates to the youth jamboree could really enjoy themselves; and: they were in' the shelter of -the Beach Pavilion. Highlight: of, the] ' jamboree was an: address by Re- verend Father Les Costello. of 'Tim-| mins. The six pipe bands: that were' sup-|~ posed to parade to the-Beach had : to confine their piping to the-arena, | § while the horses who were to race ' at. the Beach were bundled'. back into their. trucks without ; setting, hoof on the muddy course. On Sunday the weatherman: gave the district a break, largely for Temagami's benefit, where a full day of water sports~ attracted' a considerable crowd. But by Monday the skies' were crying again. So few people turned out for the Kiwanis. Annual Fast- ball Tournament at Bass Lake, that the Service Club had' to callk it, off. However, the participating teams volunteered to go-ahead for the fun of it, despite the lack>--of~ sun, crowds and: pay. It was pretty much the same story in New Liskeard, although there were a number of entries for the Lions Swim Meet. In a point basis Kirkland Lake won, followed by Cochrane and New Liskeard. Home League Work on Cushions Ten members were present at each of the last two meetings of the: Haileybury Home League. The meetings opened wilth the singing of the hymns "Count Your Bless- ings" and "I Am Thine O Lord", followed: by prayer led by' Mrs. H. Adams. Mrs, Garnet Ross. and" Mrs. Henry Adams assisted in conduct- ing the service at New Liskeard on Sunday, July 24th. At the last. meeting, Mrs, Art Séed. gave.a reading entitled" "My Prayer". By request, the; chorus "Trust and Obey" was" sung. The meeting was closed witt prayer by Mis.

She was Miss Isa- belle Plaunt, originally from Hail- eyloury, but now teacher in 'the Dominion government school at Spence Bay in the Northwest. Ter- ritories. Spence Bay is 700 miles 'lnorth of Churchill, on the Boothia peninsula. Its nearest '"'metropolis" lis Cambridge Bay, 300 miles away which boasts a white population of 250 to 300 people. - ¥ Back before-she started her: Far school in such Deep South centres las Oakville and Deep River with Cochrane-ite Eleanor Dobenko. Her trip-here was to visit' the: lat- ter, now Mrs: J. Lipsett, and Mirs. F. Dobenko. | Population of Spence Bay is about' 60>Eskimios and 13 whites. Qf the former there are 20 to 25 children (aged 6 to 16) in Miss 'Plaunt's 'school, although the num- ber fluctuates as hunting, fishing and trapping operations take many of tthe boys away 'for their "voca- tional training". Among the whites' there are four children,.-but alk are still of pre-school age. The ladults staff at Hudson's Bay Com~ pany post and weather station,, RCMP station, and two missions, Amglican and Roman Catholic.

The language of instruction is Basic English, but the subjects on the curriculum: are very similar to those in: Ontario schools. The starting point is with 'facts within the comprehension of the children, and they study thhe white people of Cahada somewhat in the same way that white children study the Eskimos; but ottherwise Miss Plaunt doesn't find much differ- ence in hes classroom program. The detail differences are of this sort: the Eskimos are adopting zippers because' tthe whiite people' use them, ailtthough they are actual- ly quite inefficient in Spence Bay conditions, while ithe whites there are copying the Eskimos when they can. : Passenger ithavel ils by air; planes 'Jand" on the Bay except in the long freezeup and break-up per- jods, Supplies come in by two boats a year, one of the Hudson's Bay Company fleet and one from the-Arctie Shipping Co. operating from British Columbia points, The foregoing. statement is a condition- al one, however, as the boats don't always get through im September, and the population has to carry reserve supplies.
