"When I came to this district three years, ago, I felt that, with the building of the satellite at Elk Lake there would be a market for television sets and services, which I was in the position to supply," Reoul Carriere Cobalt Manager Aime Lanteigne Salesman oy |display my merchandise.'

MATTSON Mild, snow-free weather has been enjoyed in this area to a much later date than in recent years, allowing the continuation of many projects which normally would be seriously affected by wintry conditions. Looking back one year to our records for De- cember 1st, 1959, we find the snow depth to have been 17.6 in- ches, while the present depth is only two inches. Many people, however, depend on snow and cold weather to create ideal working conditions explained Mr. Buck. "J wasn't here too long,' he' continued, "before I realized there was room not only for television, but for major appliane?s and_la-; ter on for furniture.' "The chief obstacle to a tania expansion was the difficulty in finding a good store in New _Lis- keard; the geographic ennteg of the trading area,"-he said, 'and, even with the large Cobalt store, I was | hard pushed for space to store and "To help with the furniture end I brought' Mr. Paul St. Jean 'from Toronto' 'to manage' that operation, and shortly after he started it became increasingly evident that I would have 'to find' a bigger store. I think 'shoppers in the district will be pleased with the new. arrange- ments." A short time ago, Mr. Buck pur-, are timber or pulpwood operators who in many cases must have these conditions for the prepara- tion of winter roads, along which they transport their products. Trappers also wait for the cold weather to produce the best qual- ity fur harvest. Many fur-bearing animals, if trapped in the early quality pelt, but if caught a few weeks later, the same pelt may be worth much more. Inactivity of the Distirict. trappers is evidenced by the "fact. that to-date only 25 have brought in furs for sealing by Fish and Wildlife officials. ing, and for the past' three weeks aj crew of men, including the owner,: have been working around the clock to meet the 'December '8 deadline. The work is dohe, and the store ; is') now' a symphony' in pastel Approximately -- 150 _ numbered shades. two large floors of dis- trap-lines are laid out in the Dis- trict. For an annual fee of five dollars, each unit is registered in the name of the trapper. Second- ary watershed boundaries are-gen- erally used as trap-line area boundaries, with unit areas vary- ing from nine square miles to 80 square miles. Each trapper co-operates with the fur management officials in the wise management of this par- ticular area, ensuring a perpetual|Z play space filled with new stocks of appliances, furniture, draper-: ies and floor coverings. "T haven't had time to list the bargains we are offering our grand opening on Thursday," concluded Mr. Buck, '"'all I could do was an- nounce that we are opening, and sometimes I wondered if we would be ready," "But I would like to emphasize to the residents . that. we have for their livelihood.

Quotas are set for the number of beaver, fisher and marten which may be taken yearly from. each unit, so that sufficient breeding stock is left for the reproduction of those species, have necessitated removel of more than the normal quota, and in some cases, whole colonies of nuisance beaver, have been removed. The Ontario Trappers' Associa- tion Fur Sales will again be held in North Bay on December 14th and January 27th. Dates have not been set for the remaining three sales.
