Present indications are that there will be no Coniston team in the league this year. It is claimed that sending the Coniston girls into the provincial playdowns last year, resulted in a monetary loss and left no funds with which to operate a team this year. In the meantime. sponsors of ladies‘ softball are urged to get busy and line up their entries as quickly as possible.

Polo-Golf This game is played with a player going around on horseback and using a polo mallet instead of a golf club. This mallet is used all round the course. even from bunkers. and a player can lift his ball from an unplayable lie with a penalty of one stroke. Who introduced this game? None other than a Northerner from our midst, Mr. Harry Oakes. His idea was for the benefit of older players who found polo too strenuous for them. Golfers have become so enthusiastic about the new "lazy man's golf“ that a Hockey With the ground being covered with snow last week-end took us back to that game called hockey. but this time it is in far away Russia.

Official Open- ing to Be Announced (,IQmment on Route 01' Trans-Canada Road will Discusses of Idea that Highâ€" way May be Routed by Ferguson Highway. Cricket Bats Made from English Willow Trees Widening of the Ferguson highway by 34 feet. to conform with the standard 100 feet of roadbed. and the purchase of land on each side of the road for that purpose. has inspired residents of the New Liskeard area to presume that the government has decided to change muting of the transâ€"Canada highway .t'rom the North Shore to the Temis- lzaming and Cochrane districts. Officials of the Highway Department in the regions affected however are said to have denied that the Ferguson road is to form the basis of the trans- Canada highway through Northern On- tario and that the existing road pro- jected and constructed during the re- gime of Hon. G. H. Ferguson. of late years allowed to deteriorate. is simply being brought up to Class A specifica- tions. That. seems to be the logical answer. For some months the Boards of Trade and business men of the Temiskamlng section have been putting up strenuous arguments for the improvement of the the highway was unsafe for traffic and failed to provide the standard of service which the importance of the territory merited. After much coaxing and cajoling, the Hepburn government has finally made up its mind to accede to the demands made. and road gangs are now at work carrying out. at least some of the suggestions advanced by the people of the area. One is forced to the view that the government has at last come around to the point where. in face of the greatly augmented taxes levied, restriction of provincial services. and increased sur- lplus. something must be done to ap- pease aggrieved sentiment in the North Country, and that in justice to the peeple and for the sake of the preserva- tion of the Ferguson highway. a pro- gramme of road improvement has at Ferguson highway. Repairs and; changes to the road were badly needed] the highway was unsafe for traffic' and failed to provide the standard of Country, and that in justice to the peonle and for the sake of the preserva- tion of the Ferguson highway. a pro- gramme of road improvement has at last been undertaken. It is doubtful if the schedule has anything to do with a contemplated change in the routing of the transâ€"Canada highway. That pro- ject. it is believed. will remain in the background while other and more pressing problems receive the attention of Queen’s Park. It will be remember- ed that both Premier Hepburn and Hon. Peter Heenan have been fairly definite in asserting that the trans- Canada road will go around the north shore of Lake Superiorâ€"â€"when it is built. That decision must have been made. after due consideration of the matterâ€"or perhaps from some other motive not apparent. In any event, the Temiskaming dis- trict need not get all “het up" over the prospect's of the trans-Canada route being altered. The wish would appear to be father of the thought. The areas affected should be mighty glad that they are at long last receiving a little attention in improvement of the Fergu- son highway. From all accounts the. programme is not being undertaken be- fore it was needed.
