Two trophiles, and one other, grace the , piano downstairs, won by Legion teams ‘for the first time, the Bartleman Doubles Championship Cup, acquired _by J. Gordon and F. Melvilie, and the Russel trophy won by Legion teams :under leadership of J. Gordon. The | Uâ€"Seatâ€"Um cupâ€"not quit so imposing as its fellowsâ€"but, nevertheless, a useâ€" ful thing to have around, was won by P.V.‘s. They have accordingly, acquirâ€" ed much merit, to say nothing of havâ€" ing conferred great distinction on the Branch. Long may they hold it. QOur dart enthusfiasts have already taken steps toward makingzg the game even bigger and better than it was last season by moving the board from its old poasition at the bottom of the stairâ€" way, to the corner the piano used to occupy. Wh‘ch move takes some of the joy out of life for the casual frequen!er of the Club. No longer will we have to approach Jimmy Gordon‘s sanctumâ€" sanctorum with the stealthy caution of an Indian warrior stalking his way through an enemy ambush; nor will we need to keep a sharp lookâ€"out in the rear to escape being punctured in sme vulnerable portion of one‘s perâ€" son«by a recklessly thrown dart. Angd if you could only see where they have placed the piano. A dart tournament will be held ing the summer months, if possible, s3 that the lads can keep their hand in, : and perhaps, to encourage new men returning from overseas, who have learnt to play the game over there, to take part in the league next season. Branch 88 expects to put more teams into the fielqg as soon as the snow beâ€" gins to (y. New members are inv ted to join these teams or to organize new teams from among themselves. Thij will provide an opportunity of showingz : the old sweats how to throw a dart. A number of crackerâ€"jacks have v‘isited the Club during the past few weeks and have already shown what they can do on the board. In addition to the three trophies above mentioned, White Cross were presented with the Brunette Trophy, for total aggregate of points; the Legâ€" ion Shield and the Bill Doran trophy, awarded in the five‘s competition. White Cross captured these three trophies in rapid succession, which is not bad for a bunch of raw amateurs. Ths iodine and liniment boys were not a bit pleased in that they were not preâ€" sented with the individual tropby s that go with the Legion Shield, but they can take comfort from the thought that they will all be here in due time and they will be presented as soon as they arrive. ; way!

Before the gamg The chief faults for McIntyre‘s loss were the lack of support given Vail, and the bungling of the shortstop. In the eigzhth, Coach Art Quinn put in Mangotich at shortstop. Mangotich was not in training, and made two errors in ons inning. During the seventh inning, Umpire Poie calledâ€"a balk on Vail, McIintyre‘s pitcher, for not pitching after his windâ€"up, Th reason for Vail‘s balk was that a lady who obâ€" viously had disagreed with one of the umpire‘s dzcisions, was running up to present Hackett with a broom.

A, _ Bateson who â€"has been in â€" Temiskaming since 1890. Wilfred G,. Tucker, presâ€" ident of the Asscciation and chairman of the annual meeting held, referred to the activitiee of W. A.

Ontario is the most proâ€" ductive of the gold provinces and since the industry started the province has produced $1,529,104,422â€"and this was from straight mining alone. The entire mineral production of the proâ€" vince in the same period was $4,246,â€" 479,070. In ordinary times the Canadian metâ€" al mining industry alone pays over $100,000,000 in dividends. It is for these reasons that mining is not a flyâ€"byâ€" night industry. Nor is the investor‘s money suckerâ€"money, The valur fof Canadian . mineral production in 1942 reached a record total of $566,672,000, or $48.63 per capâ€" ita. In the same period the United States mineral production also reached a new high at $54 per capita, this discrepancy in the two countries being due to the large coal and oil deposits in the US. Canada‘s biggest year for gold produc¢tion was 1941, when the record output was $205,789,392, and much of this work was on the old established gold belts. Just what level gold production may reach when the 60â€"o0dd proven properties swing into production is anybody‘s guess. Testing Favourable Area on Ordala Louvicourt (Quebec Miner) Because of the misinformation preâ€" valent in some quarters of the finan«â€" clal world with regard to the true status of Canadian mining, we are taking this opportunity of pointing out a few relevant and very pertinent facts.

A group of girls at Newâ€" Liskeard adopted an uncommon way to raisc money for the building fund for the Hospital for Sick Children. They rowed tables from the Canadian Leâ€" gion Branch and marked off on them four sections, each 36 inches long. One section was for coppers:; another for nickels; the third for dimes, and the other for quarters. OGne table was placed under charge of the girls at one side of Armstrong street and the public invited to subscribe "by the yard" to the Hospital for Sick Childâ€" ren Fund, The girls raised $48.00 0n one Saturday by this plan, and were encouraged to try it again last Satâ€" urday. The girls announced . their takings as:â€" 9‘ yards of coppers; 2% â€"yards of nickels; 1‘ yards of dimes; threeâ€"quarters of a yard of quarters. Chairman Donald Gordon of thse Prices Board has announced the reâ€" sumption of meat rationing in Canrda shortly. The weekly ration ofâ€" meat will be one and one third pounds of meat per person. Mr,. Gordon said it will take two months to prepare for meat rationing again. Former meat ration in Canada was designed to ensure equitable distribâ€" ution, rather than conserve supplies. Shipping lines and refrigeration facilâ€" ities then limited wholessle shipments of meat overseas. Now Canada is pledged to share her abundant meat supplies with the liberated countriecs of hungry, warâ€"torn Europe.
