Thursday, May 4, 1961 NORSHORE SENTINEL 3 WORDS in the WIND by CHUCK McOUAT. RED ROCK RAMBLINGS NIPIGON-RED ROCK SCHOOL YEARBOOK 'SILVER BIRCHES' IS ALMOST FINALIZED WHEN AND HOW DO birds and animals sleep? Rabbits have about 16 regularly spaced naps during the day. Thrushes are active for about nine hours in winter. In summer they go from two in the morning until ten at night without a rest. Pigs sleep in a circle with their heads inward. Bobwhites sleep in a circle with heads pointed outwards. Orang-utans sleep in tree-tops, with one hand tightly grasping a tree branch. On the whole there is little bed-making among birds and animals. An exception is the gorilla which goes to a lot of trouble making its nightly nest, although it rarely sleeps in the same place two nights in succession. A small man could sleep with comfort in one of these one night stands. Elephants post guards while they sleep; from time to time the guard drops down to sleep while another of these great beasts rises to take its place. This goes on unknown instinct. Elephants, by the way, are said to snore loudly. Dogs will die in about five days without sleep. In deep snow country, ruffed grouse will dive into a snowdrift from the wing and sleep snugly in the igloo they have formed. Some species of swifts sleep clung tightly together in a ball, like bees swarming. Gulls seem to sleep while floating on the water, as do ducks and geese while it is said the albatross family sleeps while on the wing. Butterflies go into a sort of trance. While in this state, they can be picked from a blade of grass and tossed into the air. They will slant down again like dead leaves and fasten once more onto a blade of grass, seemingly without waking. WHO SAID THE ROSSPORT DERBY would be stopped this year because of the limit on lake trout in Lake Superior? Toi Seppala informs that the Derby will be on Sunday, July 23 with $4,000 worth of prizes. Haven't heard yet if the Lakehead Derby will be on the same day...It happened last year and they're still arguing who was wrong in not changing. AT THE NEXT TABLE: “All I can remember is walking in the door, then whamm!" A READER WRITES: “I have been reading about Sunday shows coming into effect in other Ontario towns and cities, and was wondering why Nipigon hasn't been doing anything about having them for our fair town. Or....do we always have to be the last on the list to start what has been going on for ages in other places. Couldn't we just once get up in front and show them that we can have something good for a change? Surely there couldn't be any objections about a Sunday as it would only help the town and it's people, especially the younger set. Then instead of sitting in coffee ships and wearing out Main St., they would at least have something to do. I'm sure that parents would feel a lot more at ease to know that their children are safe in town, rather than off in some car that goodness only knows what holds it together in the first place. It would also be a good attraction to other people in towns like our own, as well as to the tourists. So what do you say, how about letting our town come first with something good for a change, instead of hitting the headlines on the disaster side. An Interested Citizen of Nipigon WHAT’S IN A NAME: Take the case of this newspaper. How many people would have written the name ‘North Shore' Sentinel instead of Norshore. And how many people pronounce it ‘Centennial' instead of ‘Sentinel?' Sentinel means to keep watch, to guard. And now take ‘Schreiber.' If you're from anywhere but the north shore you pronounce the first syllable ‘Shri.' If you're from the north shore you say ‘Seri.' What's right? And for the most butchered name of all (at least we feel that way) take the name of this writer. There’s no ‘Q' but whoever says anything but McWhatt. The correct spelling is McOuat..no ‘Q' at all. It's pronounced Micooat and it rhymes with ‘chew it' only the ‘O' is soft. Your writer was 14 before he could say it properly however, so everyone is excused. THERE’S ALWAYS one smart one in the crowd. A newspaper headline in the United States read ‘U.S. Finding Way To Cut Fall-Out.' It wasn't too long before a voice on the telephone asked the city desk, “Are we really going to go from summer right into winter?" OVERHEARD : You'd think a man of his position would behave a little more dignified at parties than that. MAKE IT A POINT: To support Nipigon District Hospital Tag Day Friday. (Hospital Day is May 12); to attend the next council meeting; to remember momma next week on her day; to not spread rumors unless you know for sure; to buy local when you can. NIPIGON RED ROCK PROM FRIDAY Plans are well underway for the Annual Nipigon-Red Rock District High School Spring Prom. Decorations will follow a Parisien theme and the music will be supplied by Roy coran and his orchestra. The lunch is under the able direction of Mrs. West of Nipigon and Mrs. G. McCabe of Red Rock. Wife Preservers Use a small, soft paint brush to clean crumbs out of your toaster. Don't try to clean the heating units themselves, however. The students of the Nipigon Red Rock District High School are attempting, for the first time, to publish a Year Book. The blue and white “Silver Birch" will be released for sale at the end of May, for approximately $1.10 per copy. The staff, guided by Peggy Matchett, editor, includes Heather Kroker, Margaret Walters, Maureen Thompson, Florence Larsen, Denise Anderson, Mark Thompson, Murray Tomes, Donald Stevens, Herb Jones and photography by Derek Dunn. The “Silver Birch" is dedicated to Mr. E. Smith, Chairman of the High School Board. It includes, in its forty-four pages, messages from the Principal, Mr. W.S. Perkins, Student Council President Stan Pineau and editor Peggy Matchett, as well as the graduation validictory address by Arnold Ruoho, numerous pictures of the teaching staff, teams, clubs, classes and individuals and sections for sports and school activities. A special “thank you" from the Yearbook Staff is directed to those establishments using Yearbook pages for advertising. The Yearbook has been prepared and typed solely by the pupils themselves including the photography of all the class, team, group and individual pictures. The Red Rock Fish and Game Bowling League got off to a fine start Thursday evening when 16 teams took over the alleys for a five-week seige. Plaids, the dress of the Club, were in great profusion and the good natured fun and banter reminded all of the earlier bowling leagues which met yearly, under the auspices of the Fish and Game Club. It is very good to see so many', rally to the Alleys, as they used to when there was only the old Rec Building with its three lanes, and its master of the alleys, faithful of the faithful - Polly. Now that Spring has arrived, (we think) an in between season for most sports, we feel the league's activities will be a welcome source of entertainment to all members. Good work, committee members who got the league rolling! We are very appreciative of your efforts! A successful Bake Sale was held in Chappies Store Thursday by the R.R. Ladies Hospital Auxiliary. Two large tables were supplied throughout the afternoon by the many donations turned in by the members. Mrs. Chris Reynett, aided by Mrs. M. Cowan sold the goodies. Our thanks to all who helped in the success of our bake sale. Thanks also to Janie and Gunther Wurtz, the Grand opening of your store on the same day really helped get the people out. Special thanks to Ron Dawes and staff of chappies Store for their wonderful co-operation. We were pleased with the good turnout for the Hospital Auxiliary Meeting Thursday last. There does not seem to be too much going on these days so we are hopeful of seeing all our members at meetings. A letter from Mrs. Gordon stating that the new operating and orthopedic table had arrived and was installed was read. A motion for a substantial sum to be paid on this item was made. It has also been again stressed, that there is a great need for knitted articles, baby flannel jackets, gowns, bibs, etc to replenish the Baby Bar in the Hospital. With three auxiliaries turning in items to the Bar, it is still difficult to keep up with the demand. Please remember that all moneys realized from the sale of baby wear are put into a fund to be used to make the Children’s Ward more attractive. All donations are most welcome and we will be pleased to receive them from anyone wishing to donate. Our slate of Officers for the coming year is: past president Mrs. M. Cowan; president, Mrs. Adrienne Dawes, sec-treas. Mrs. Edith Sittlinger, nominating chairman Mrs. Margaret Lysnes. The next and last meeting of the season will be Thursday, May 25. We extend congratulations to Miss Edna Bridgeman who is wearing a beautiful diamond these days. Much happiness Edna! A date to remember: Saturday May 6th â€" the time 3-5. This is the time and date of the Annual Spring Tea and Bake Sale to be held by the Ladies of the United Church, in the Church Hall. There also will be a work table featuring children's wear and sewing. All members and adherents are urged to turn in work to make this event a success. TIRES FOR FARMS CALGARY (CP)Thefirsttires for farm tractors produced in Western Canada are being turned out here by Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. Production started April 14 and the goal is to turn out 40 a day. ON INCOME TAX The decision to let the provinces set their own income tax rates with the federal government still doing all the collecting... will cause no increased trouble or confusion to the taxpayer as long as no province insists on changing the basis on which taxes are charged. But it will let him know whose hand is in his pocket and for how much. Agassiz-Harrison (B.C.) . Advance.
