The New Liskeard Speaker not only condemns the present tactics of the Sault, but it makes what Mr. Rowlandâ€" son, of Porquis Junction, might conâ€" sider a "constructive suggestion." The Syisaker proposes that some plan might well be adopted to make it very apparâ€" ent to the South that the Sault is not all Northwestern Ontarito, and that Northwestern Ontario is only a minor part of Northern Ontario or New Onâ€" tario.

Others were inclined to speak and think kindly of Englehart and its swimming tank, but they could say little having missed the pleasure of viewing the said tank. Praise was given to Englehart, however, the arguâ€" ment being used that Englehart usually did things well and that the noted "Billy" Weeks might be depended upon to see that a swimming tank or anyâ€" thing else that might be promoted in Englehart would be as useful and as good as possible. "It should have been placed at Timmins," said the objector. The Advance is not inclined to take such a view. The Advance believes a better way to put the matter would be to suggest that Timmins also might have a swimming tank. The town did Lave the offer of one here, but the council at the time considered it too risky, as the town would have to assume responsibility for any accidents in conâ€" nection with such a tank. However, many here will feel like endorsing the idea of a swimming tank for Timmins after reading the description given of the Englshart one by Zalek Vertlieb in the last issue of The New Liskeard Speaker. Mr. Vertlieb says:â€" Largest Swimming Tank North of City Nothing Equal to the Geo. W. L sSwimming Tank at Englehart to be Found Anywhere North of Toronto. Some days ago in a Timmins barber shop an incidental mention of the Geo. W. Lee swimming tank brought a rather "We have a lot of big things in Canâ€" ada, and a good lot of them are right in the North here. We have at Kirkâ€" lank Lake some world famous mines, in Timmins the Hollinger is known s the world‘s best gold mine. We have the great Clay Belt and we have an abundance of water power. But there is a big thing we have in the North that not so many know about, and that is the Leo Swimming Tank at Engleâ€" hart. It is the largest tank north of Torcnto and is the only swimming tank in the North. It‘s a hundred feet long and forty feet wide and there is an extra wading pcol for the kiddies. It‘s built in splendid location, and the water and waves are so natural you almost think it‘s the English Channel or the Great Lakes. It‘s all fiited upâ€" toâ€"date with dressing rooms, slides, and even a cute little place for an orchesâ€" tra, where every evening famous local artists supply music to charm the swimmers and those looking on. There are large crowds in and around ‘the tank every day and evening. By the looks of it it‘s the most popular place in Englehart and if you want to see some pretty ladies, that‘s the place you‘ll find them. And let me tell you there are some rsal beauties there. Those pretty girls from Thornloe and Earlton should go up there sometime and then we would pick out enough beauties to put Hollywood out of business. Mr. Arthur Guy is the caretaker and he certainly is the right guy for the job. He‘s such a good natured, friendly sort of fellow and he is looked on by the kiddies as some one that will fix up all their troubles. They keep coming to him with all complaints and Arthur gets everything straightened out. He sure has some job to remember the inâ€" dividual owners of all the treasures enâ€" trusted to him. Keys, handkerchiefs, money, bathing suits and everything. It certainly was a big undertaking to have the tank built, and the lion‘s share of the credit should go to H. Weeks, better known as "Billie Weeks" exâ€"mayor of Englehart and popular Rsad Insm»ctor of the Northern Deâ€" velopment Branch, who worked hard and long to have the Lee Swimming Tank become something that any large city would like to call its own. Some afterncon when everything goes wrong, pack all the kids and the better half into the old fiiver and drive up to the Lee Swimming Tank. You will enjoy yourself even if you don‘t swim.
