Thursday, February 1961 NORSHORE SENTINEL 5 CAMERON FALLS CALLING by Marion Lake Brrrr! We’ve chipped the icicles off the typewriter, aad turned the heater full on in preparation for the weekly round-up of Cameron doings. Imagine poor Toronto suffering their 12 degree above weather while we 'hardy northerners’ quietly enjoy a mere 30 below. Indeed it is rumoured that one thermometer at Alexander Landing registered 48 below one morning last week. It may have been a frosty hallucination but from the experience of the past week weather-wise - we would be inclined to believe anything. The newly elected executive of the community club met Monday night at the Hall. Not only were most of the faces new and fresh but we hear the ideas forthcoming followed the same pattern. It looks like an interesting year on the way in the realm of community activities. Already planned is a skating party plus bean supper and dancing. The affair is scheduled for Friday, February 24. The skating will be first on the programme and will of course be held at the rink. The bean supper and dancing will follow at the hall. The dance committee chaired by Ty Pesola has been formed. On the committee are Mary McKinnon, Reggie Potvin and George Grant. A good combination -and from what we hear, dances should be bigger and better than ever. The club treasury now holds $114.00, and the summer and swimming pool are not far away - believe it or not. The club must help raise money for the life guards’ salary and to this end the monthly bingo has been instituted once again. In charge of the bingo is Myrtly Pybus - our entertainment committee chairman. The new bingo will begin February 1. The jack-pot is now $25.00 and to capture it, the top line must be filled within the first 18 numbers. The full house is worth $10.00, the 'H’ - $5.00 and the 'X’ - $5.00. If you should win - phone 82 within 24 hours. We had heard rumours - my this column seems to be full of them! - that the square dancers in Cameron had given up the ghost. So we called the club chairman Bill Donaldson and found that far from being dead - they had joined forces with the Nipigon one, Tuesday night, and the next they play host to the Nipigon group here in Cameron. Calling are Byron Roberts of Red Rock and of course our own Joe Campbell. Next week they will be in Nipigon and the following week, on February 7, they will all be here in Cameron. Sessions in Nipigon are held at the Public School and those in Cameron are, of course at the Hall. Here are two short stories written by two students in Mr. Holliday’s room and titled "My Favourite Sport”. The first is by Jo Ann Walker, grade three. "My favourite sport is skating. Tonight Janice and I are taking lessons. My teacher’s name is Mr. Hand-ley. He can skate with his back bent away back. "Sometimes he asks us to make a figure eight. When he asks me, I fall right off the bat”. The second is by Kenny Lanktree, grade four. "My favourite sport is playing hockey. We had three games with Red Rock and one game with Nipigon. We lost every game. We are going to play with Red Rock on Saturday at six o’clock. At two o’clock the little pee wees are going to play. I hope we will get this game”. I promised the class that I would put the best one or two in the column - so class -there you are. POPULAR JOB LONDON, Ont. (CP) - The transportation commission here has hired 18 new drivers and shop staff to handle new routes, starting Jan. 1.
