Franklin Phone MICHELL â€" In sacred memory of Betty dearly beloved daughter of Geoâ€" rge and Ivy Michell who went to be with Jesus March 5th 1933. Aged 12 years. Blessed hope that in Jesus is given, In our sorrow to cheer and sustain, That soon with our Saviour in Heaven We shall meet with our loved one aâ€" gain. ® Lovingly remembered by â€" Dad, mum, brothers and sisters. Dome Mines. It had been almost heartbreaking. On three separate ends it appeared that we had the necessary margin of safety, but a rub‘of a guard, a running shot by Bun Cartmell, Gowanlock‘s brilliant viceâ€"skip, or a canny draw by the opposing skipper himself had kept the score very even. A miss on the twelfth had enabled the Glenboro rink to pull even. Now the lifetime dreams of both rinks was to be realâ€" ized or shattered by the outcome of the 13th end. We had last rock. The front must be kept onen at all costs. Tommy . McKnight, the Genboro lead, placed his first stone in front of the rings. Charlie Kerr promptly knocked it off. McKnight drew another to the same spot. This time Kerr missed. Bill McKnight then drew behind his brother‘s stone to the four foot ring. Mary Macintyre, our second, went afâ€" ter the front rock again but missed. The Glenboro second placed another guard on the shot stone. Macintyre pinched one of them off with his last rock. Cartmell replaced it. Grant Watson, my brother and cleanâ€"up man, came to bat. His running shot cleared the front of all guards. Cartâ€" mell again covered. the counter. Grant removed it, barely missing the shot rock in so doing. Ab Gowanlock was now fighting to maintain a guard on that rock in the rings which loomed greater in importance with.each shot. This time he assayed a close guard and executed the shot perfectly, stopping in front with an outâ€"iurn on the 12 foot circle. There they were â€" What should I do? Go for the guard, or try to draw to the shot? The four of us went into a huddle and talked it over. This shot could mean the finish. It had to â€"be made. We decided a draw past the guard to the shotâ€"rock was the logical play as the stone was just back .â€"of the. tee line. I have said prayeas befe!'e "but~ nevev as: éfithusâ€" iastically as at that partipar. momâ€" ent. The spectators were now standâ€"‘" ing. You could hear a pin drop. The blood was pounding in my veins, and my ears wWere finging loudly, but somehow I got that shot away and somehow my prayers were answered. The stone drew beautifully in behind the guard and nestled up asgainst the shot stone. Bedlam broke loose. The rest was antiâ€"climax. I hardly remember what happened after. Ab tried to follow my stone but "wrecked" on the guard. Thank Heavens I didn‘t have to play my last shot. I hardly think I would have been physically able to cdo so. Hence the 4000 â€"spectators who sat tense and expectant through three hours of play on this particular evenâ€" ing no notion of leaving for home when Gowanlock scored two to knot the count in the regulation twelve ends, and sent the game into overtime. Previously. whenever the Gowanâ€" lock and Watson rinks had met, a curling duel of sizable proportions had always resulted. The tide of fortune always hinged on the last rock in the last end. Neither foursome ever had the satisfz2ction of two consecutive wins. The "heat" was on in every game from the‘ first stone cast to the last. A miss in the later stages of a game was catastrophic and we all knew it. This is one of a series by outstanding Canadian curlers relating what they consider their "most thrilling moment" in â€" competition for the Macdonald‘s Brieer Tankard, representing the Canâ€" adian single rink curling title. .......__... By Ken WATSON, Winnipeg, Man. Canadian Curling Champion, 1936 and 1942 \For me, curling has provided many thrills but the one that topped them all took place one nitht in February, 1936, at the Amphitheatre Rink, Winâ€" nipeg, when we were engaged in a tiâ€" tanic struggle with the famous Gowanâ€" lock of Glenboro, for the right to repâ€" resent Manitoba in the Dominion Brier Champlonships in Toronto the following month. MUGGS AND SKEETER Thousands of Europe‘s best workâ€" men, homeâ€"loving, Godâ€"fearing peop!e who would make the best of Canadian citizens, are eager to settle in this country but are barred by present imâ€" migration policies, The Financial Post roaports. These Europzan:, displaced from their Lkomes duriay the war, and generally known as DP‘s, are now housed in camps under UNRRA superâ€" vision in Germany. Dependent on Canada and the United States, the majority would like to migrate to one or the other of those countres, preferâ€" ably Canada. But immigration redl tape bars them. For the first time in many months the number of mining claims recordâ€" ed in the Province of Ontario dropped below the 1.000 mark and the cancelâ€" lations were greater than the number of claims filed, according to the Staâ€" tistics Branch of the Ontario Departâ€" ment of Mines. â€" A total of 927 claims were recorded and 1,375 claims were cancelled during January. March, 1946, was the highest. month of .the record year with 2,736 claims recordâ€" 181 cancellations.

More Claims Cancelled Than Recorded In January It is with the deepest regret we have to record the death of Mr. Thoâ€" mas Moore Sr. 75 First Ave. Mr. Moore passed away Tuesday evening after a short illness. Born in Belfast Ireland, the late Mr.. Moore came to Cobalt in the early days, later moving to Schumacher where he has been a resident for 21 years.

I \"'/I/ Fire Causes $100,000 Damage Fire last night destroyed the Meyers grug store building and the Pierce hardware store adjoining, and damâ€" aged the Rinn Bros. store and stocks. also the Pierce dry goods and gents furnishing store in the basement. The total loss will run close to $100,000,. most of it covered by insurâ€" ance. The contents of the Tomkinâ€" son Studio, including valuabk photoâ€" graphic equipment, was a total loss. The fine furnishings of the apartâ€" ments of Mr. and Mrs. Meyers were all destroyed, though some personal jewelry was saved. The Meyers building, at the corner of Pine street and Third avenue, and the adjoining Pierce Son building, are two of the oldest buildings in the business secâ€" tion of the town. February, 1937, set a record for mildness that has never been equalled since Harry Preston camped on the wild shore of Porcupine Lake.

Train Service One of the chief items of interest before the regular mesting of the town council on Monday afternoon in their fine new quarters in the Courtâ€" emanche building, next to The Adâ€" vance office, was the question of the new restricted service on the T.N.0O. Cne of the difficulties is the shortage of coal. A resolution by Dr. MciInâ€" nis was forwarded to the railroad. That this council express its regrets at the necessity of cutting off the Torâ€" onto train, and pointed out the great inconvenience this district suffers in mail, express and passenger service and asked that every effort be made to remedy this service.

The 257 Railway Construction Batâ€" talion, authorized in January, and practically filling up its ranks in a month, is now reported to be safely in England. It is probable by this time the Battalion is on active work in Belgium or France. Lieut.â€" P. J. Gallagher and Pte W. Boicey were the last of those to leave Timmins. The autumn is the season for rushâ€" es. Every year about this time the north goes tearing of the towns and settlements for some far discovery, the prospector in the van, and the getâ€" richâ€"quicks from counter and railway section gang after him. Yet one must not speak deridingly of the amateur. Some of the best claim stakers, and some of the men who have made big money out of the rock, are merchants and farmers and office men who have learned the ways of the bush and have cleverly, with knowledge of geâ€" ology fleaned from books, staked good country. And they are back at counter, ledger or plow, ready to take in the next rush. Potatoes have been selling in Ontâ€" ario for $4.50 to $5.50 a bag recently, while carloads have been golng to the United States and Cuba. h Ontario Women May Vote The government measure embodyâ€" ing the principles of the Johnson bills will put Ontario women on a parity with men in municipal elections. All women of the full age of 21 years who are British subjects and who have reâ€" sided in the province for the requisite period being entitled to vote. "So you‘re a young man with both feet on the ground, eh? What do you do for a living?" "I take orders from a man with both feet on a desk." Three years ago there were six to seven .thousand gentlemen of the handpick roaming the north. The woodâ€"slatted cars o fthe T. N. O. were filled with prospectors and their smoke. Toâ€"day these cars carry men whose occupations are pulpwoodâ€"cutâ€" ting. clerking. stumpâ€"jerking. or plain. prosaic mining. Instead of the redâ€" kerchiefed prospector. the railway hauls chiefly the blueâ€"shirted type. Of the thousands the north had three years ago more than a thousand have gone to war. A couple more thousand have gone back to the farm after a meteoric career in a game they were not raised to. The rest are either working in the mines and drawing good wages, or working for themâ€" selves getting claims in shape against the time when the buyer of chunks of the north will be once more plentiful and prosperous. Prospectors Becoming Scarce The year 1916 in the North was notâ€" able in that very few prospectors were out on the hunt for new fields. Potatoes $4.50 to $5.50 a Bag. U.S. To Arm Ships
