N. 0. Bonspiel to be ! Held at New Liskeard The annual T. N. O. bonspiel, which is of interest to all curlers in this part of the North Land, will be held this year at New Liskeard. In the last issue of The New Liskeard Speaker the following reference is mad»> to the event:â€" "At the request of the Haileybury Curling Club the New Liskeard curlers have decided to take on the annual T N. O. bonstiel for the year 193:. This is the curling event of the year s3 far as clubs on the T. N. O. R‘y. are esncerned and it is hoped to make the ‘spiel of this year the "biggest and beost" yet held. To make it so the support cof every curling club in the North is reâ€" quested, and it is expected at least one rink will attend from those clubs that have so far failed to join in a bonspiel. Of course both Haileybury and Liskeard will be out in large numbers, while the entire membership of the Englehart club shculd be here as well as a large representatiocn from the older clubs of Timmins, South Psorcuâ€" pine and Kirkland Lake. Four at least and probably five events will comprise the prozramme. Prominent amongst these will be the very handsome trophy, with suitable prizes, awarded by the Power Company, and the popular event known as the Geo, W. Lee Trophy, also with splendid prizes.

It is hoped to have fall entries in the hands of the local bonspiel secretary not later than the evening of Sat., Jan. 31st. The draw will then be made and rinks at a distance notified as to the hsosur ¢of play. The local committcs will endsavour to have the first games callâ€" ed at 3 p.m. on Monday, February 2nd, and while nine ice shsets are available it is hoped the playing of a series on Monday will allow the six perfect shseets FATHER AND THREE SON®S FORM RINK IN CURLING GAME of ice in the new rink to accommodat the curlers."

The following original and interestâ€" ing editorial appeared in The Acton Free Press last week and the idea will likely find favour not only in Acton but all over Canada in the winter time. The Acton Free Press says:â€" ‘"‘There are prizes offered for the best flowers in the summer tims, the best live stock and produce of the farm is proudly Gdisplayed at the fall fairs. Most citizens take aquite a prideâ€"in a neat lawn and surroundings in the summer. Athletic achisvement is lavrdâ€" ed and awarded with cups, medals, and many prizes. And the best hocksy team or baseball team usually gets a pretty fair sendâ€"off at the close of a successful season. Every time there is a big snow storm we feel there is one activity that doesn‘t receive recogniticn enough. The unshovelled sidewalk afâ€" ter a snow storm is a nuisance to pedesâ€" trains and a menace to safety, and yet to date no one has ever offered a prize to the citizen who throughout the winâ€" ter has the neatest and cleanest shoâ€" velled sidewalk. Some citizens take just as much pride in doing this duty as in flowers and well kept lawns and then the fellow next door will cften allow the winter‘s accumulation to lie there until reminded of his cbligation and the necessary fulfilment or opy.ion of a fine. May we make the suggestion that a contest for the best shovelled sidewalk be inaugurated, with rules for promptness\, nsatn2ss, etc., the municipal officers as the judges, and the prizes to be secured by the fines collected from the fellow who doesn‘t do his duty. It would add some interâ€" est; there might be some big prize money to award and without a doubt it would greatly improve the appearance and safety of all the sidewalks." sSUGGESTS PRIZE FOR BEST DISPLAY OF SHOVELLING Help wild life, for game and fish canâ€" not vote.â€"Forest and Outdoors. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO I note where it states there is a general ihope that Leo Mascioli may secure the Ilcts adjoining his property and put up | brick block. Well, supposing he does, |I am sure he will never be sorry for it, \ because I for one feel positive that the \ old Porcupine camp will have new \mines there and all around long after !I am dead, even if I live to be 100 years !cld. Some mining engineers said there would never be gold mines there, but what are there now were very easily discovered. Iam sure that with a little more work, and perhaps harder work, more big ones will some day be proven. Then, take into consideration the whole country south to Shiningtree and east \to Quebec, especially the southern | country where there is gold to be found the whole length. Matachewan is goâ€" 'ing to make things better still, and all ‘Timmins needs is road south, which !means a great benefit. Then west and ‘northwest of Timmins are several |places where gold and other minerals occur, and therefore I see no reason for anycne to think Timmins will soon start to go down hill. I feel positive it ‘will go up hill in the next two or three lyears. Four or five men are not so lucky that they can go right into this area and find every mine of importâ€" ance. Just wait! There are lots of them to be found yet in the country all around Timmins and anyone who owns a brick block or property will do well to keep them. No man has eyes so powâ€" erful that he can see through rock. We must go down and see, for gold does not fall in rainstorms and neither do animals carry it in their feet and leave it on the rocks. So, with gold to be seen everywhere around Timmins for miles, there are many chances left to find big mines and even though they be found miles away it will help Timâ€" mins to keep on growing. Eight years ago the talk was that Dome was done. | But I said, "No chance!" and I still beâ€" | lieve that the Dome is good for a long {(time. My advice to Timmins is ‘"Don‘t listen to anyone who says she will be done in a few years." Babies born in 1931 will be married men and women 'and will see Timmins just as good or better then than now, for the goldâ€" bearing area is too big and wide to play out. A road to the south will be one of the most important things, and some day cone running west and southwest. Don‘t get scared. Keep uj faith, for you are in the best mineral country in America.

Caron on Saturday according to despatches from Cochrane. The ofâ€" fence for which Arbut was sentenced took place on Nov. 7th last when Wilâ€" liam f McNamara was assaulted and robbed of $40.00. McNamara named Arbut as the man who assaulted him Chariton. and district farmers asked the T. N. O. Railway recently for a train service that would allow them to attend Kirkland Lake markest end reâ€" turn the same day. Such a service was put on by the Railway cn the three weeks‘ trial and if it proves worth while it will be continued. This is ansther sample of the evident intention of the T. N.

A. PRESTON ing inscription, "Ex. Fid. Dof. Britanâ€" niarum." The coin is much battered and much worn until the colour is as much like that of a dirty piece of silâ€" ver as of a copper coin. It is this fact that really brought the old coin to the attention of Mr. Rechon. He was handed the coin as a fiftyâ€"cent piece by one of his customers and was almost amout to sweep it into the till from the counter as a halfâ€"dollar. Almost, but not quite! As his fingers touched it Mr. Rochon had an idea that it was not a fiftyâ€"cent piece, A second look conâ€" firmed this fact, though the customer insisted it was all right. Eventually, Mr. Rochon gave the customer a quarâ€" ter for the coin on a chance and as sbuvenir of an cecasion when he came close to accepting an old penny for a modern halfâ€"dollar. Mr. Rochon, who has a collection of old coins of all kinds, is keeping this big penny of the reign of George JII as a curiosity. Jos. Rochon, of town, has a penny that is one hundred and eleven years old and so from its battered appearance and its old age is entitled to class among the old and rare coins worthy of mention. The coin, which is one of the old style large pennies about the size and weight of a regular modern 50 centâ€"piece, is dated 1820.

It was a testing time for him. He had many sheep, asses, camelis, oxen and seven sons and three daughters, but bad times came upon him and he lost all of them. Then to make things worse he was smitten with sore boils from the soles of his feet unto the crown of his head. In his troubles people came to see him and told him it served him right. In toâ€"day‘s lanâ€" guage they told him his beliefs were wrong, and that he shouldn‘t have bought an automobile, or the extra hundred acres or his wife that new fangled washing machine. But through LESsSON FOR THE }’ESSIMISTS FROM A STORY OF OLD DAYS it all Job insisted that he was right and righteous. He had a hard time of it for a long period. But conditions eventually got better for him and he had twice as many sheep, asses, cxen and camels as he had before and was again blessed with seven sons and three dauzghters and lives to see his greatâ€" grandchildren. No matter what cur troubles have been, let us have courage and work for better things in 1931." Gordon Browne, of the ‘Kirkland Lake Kiwanis Club, proposes a monster interâ€"club picnic for all the Kiwanis clubs of the North this summer.
