(From Rouynâ€"Noranda Ryess) Noranda curlers will welcome the anâ€" nounceéement received yesterday that they are to have a visit on February 18th from three of theâ€"six rinks of mcottish curlers who are to tour Caraâ€" da this winter. All six rinks will visit the North, and three will play in Kirkâ€" land Lake ard Timmirs, while the other three will invade Quebec and be grests of the Ncranda Cliub. That they will be given an enthusiastic reception here may be taken for granted, and local curlers will lsok forward to their comings.

These catboats are painted an intense shade of blue so that the turâ€" tles basking beneath the surface will not distinguish them from the blue better known, and perhaps our readers might be interested in a short descripâ€" tion of the most important of themâ€" that queer, armorâ€"clad reptile that sciâ€" entists tell us belongs to the zoological crder of chelonia and which is familâ€" lar to everyone as the "tortoise", "terâ€" rapir", or "turtle", according to wheâ€" ther he makes his home on land, in fresh water, or in the scean. t 4 60 % e P ¢ 0 ¢ b O 00000000 00000000 0 : â€"g The Turtle It is reported that on the first day of the rescent British Coronation Issue over 130,000 stamps, picturesquely decâ€" orated with conch shells, catboats, bocby birds and turtles, had to be legâ€" ibly postmarked for philatelists by the hardworking postmaster of the Cayman Islands!

And a mean cuss of a remarked: "Well, better late than never!" they were stopped by Polish customs officials. the rabbits explained that the G.P.U. had issued orders to arrest all giraffes in ‘Russia. "But," said the customs officers, "you are not giraffes." ‘"Yes, but try toâ€" prove it to the Fanatically devoted to the Soviet cause, Dzerjinski founded the dreaded secret police that was first known as the "Cheka," and subsequently as the "Ogpu," or "G.P.U." The wellâ€"known custom of this sinister service of shootâ€" ing first and asking questions afterâ€" wards occasioned the following rather plaintive joke. It seems that a number of rabbits escaped from the Soviet Union across the Polish border. When Memorial Stamp for Russian Revolution The latest stamps received from Soâ€" viet Russia bear the portrait and tograph of the eminent revolutionary hero, F. E. Dzerjinski. There are four values: 10c, 20¢c, 40c and 80¢c. Feliz Edmundovich Dzerjinski (1877â€"1926) has been called by John Gunther, forâ€" mer foreign correspondent for the Chicago Daily, News, "one of the most extraordinary characters of modern times." During â€"his turbulent youth as a revolutionary agitator he was twice arrested and sent to Siberia and twice succeeded in escaping. In 1912 he was again captured by the police and reâ€" mained in prison until the final triâ€" umph of the revolutionary party in 1917. When the young turtles finally hatch they dig their own way out of the sand and instinctively head for the sea. Prowling sharks account for nearâ€" ly 90 of every 100 young turtles, and taking into consideration the large number of nests that are robbed by beachcombers and thousands of adult specimens that find their way into the soup tureen every year, it is not surprising to learn that the turtles of the West Indies are rapidly facing exâ€" tinction. And who krows but that some day the Cayman Islanders will be reâ€" duced to picturing on their attractive postal issues, not the valuable hawksâ€" bill or the succulent terrapin, but that long neglected member of the chelonâ€" ian familyâ€"the mockturtle! * Coronation Stamps From southern Rhodesia Here is the attractive design of the Ssouthern Rhodesia Coronation Issue, which appeared early in June and consists of four values: 1p carmine and oliveâ€"grsen, 2p sepia and emeraldâ€" green, 3p ultramarine and violet, and 6p» redâ€"viclet and grayâ€"black, The porâ€" traits of King George and Queen Flizabeth appear in the lower left and upper righthand corners respectively, and in the ‘background are seen the famous Victorian Falls. The Victorian Falls, over twice as high as our own Niagara, are located on the Zambezi River and were diszsovered by the Scotâ€" tish missionaryâ€"explorer, David Livâ€" ingstone, in 1855. A railroad running from Bulawayvo (shown in the foreâ€" grourd of the stamp) now makes this impressive spectacle easily accessible to tourists. Caribbean sky overhead. Usually the turtle fishermen employ large nets, but sometimes they hunt their quarry with the aid of trained fish! A small, sucking fish called the remora is attached to a long light line and tossed overboard when a turtle is sighted. The fish swims directly to the turtle and clamps himself firmly onto the surprised chelonian‘s shell by means of his powerful vacuumâ€"disk. The turtle fishermen simply haul in the line, pry off the remora, and mark down another turtle for the day‘s catch. Some of the green turtles attain the truly stupendous weight of 700 pounds but most of those brought to market average only about 100. Tney feed exâ€" clusively on seaweed and small crusâ€" taceans, visiting the land cnly to lay their eggs. The eggs., which are almost spherical in shape and are covered with a tough, parchmentâ€"like subâ€" stance, are buried in lots of about 100 in holes that the female has secooped out of the sand.

The famed green turtle, or "terrapin" soup, proâ€" verbially beloved by prosperous Lonâ€" don aldermen, is prepared from a carâ€" tilaginous extract found next to the shell. The eggs are also much relished with the addition of a distinctive flaâ€" vour of seaweed. e n t FRIDAY 10 em.

Many times in the past few years, The Fress has protested against the | attitude of so many people in the ;South who seem to think that the ; North is or should be able to absorb gall of the unemployed in the many communities of the lower part of Onâ€" tario and Quebec. Other northern paâ€" pers have done likewise, and this week The Northern News, of Kirkland Lake, and The Porcupine Advance, of Timâ€" mins, have both deemed it necessary to ! protest vigorously against statements made in different places which were calculated to give the impression that !t-hcre is a shortage of labour in the I North and that any number of men Gf Geceivers, wno undertake to avise young men to come north at this time are doing them sericus wrong and inâ€" volving them in difficulties which they are likely to long remember. None of them should come here at this season unless assured of work before leaving There are at present 800 unemployed men in Timmins and a large number in Kirkland Lake. How many there may be in Rouyn it is difficult to say with any degree of accuracy, but a story in another column tells of the experiences of the local police with outâ€"ofâ€"works, and in The Press office not a day passes that we do not have callers seeking information regarding the proâ€" spects of obtaining work. For the mines there is an adequate supply of skilled labour, and unskilled labour is not wanted. For the lumber camps the same may be said, and there is little work of any other kind hereabouts. No prospect of employment is now open to those who come here from other parts, and those who journey north without funds are likely to meet with some bitter experiences before they tically at an end for the present year, men are leaving here to return to their homes or in search of work elsewhere and those who come here now seeking enrployment are doomed to disappointâ€" ment. Those responsible for creating this impression are perpetrating a crue] joke on the unemployed. So far as Rouyn and Norarda are concerned and this no doubt applies to other northern cenâ€" tres, while during the building season there was considerable extra employâ€" ment here, with construction now pracâ€" North and that any nur can find employment in territory.

For years the ink manufacturers have had the kiss business sewed up. There simply was no other way of shipping klisses except making X‘s at the bottom of letters. At one stroke the monopoly crumbles. And the threat engulls Mr. Parley‘s postal service as well. Rumors have reached us that the development will be the principal order of business at the annual convention in Chicago next month of the National Association of Special Delivery Messengers. Leaders of this group foresee severe inroads in theirn hold upon the love message busiâ€" ness unless a similer service is offered through the mails. One faction favours taking a cut in the fee per jetter deâ€" livered, provided the postal authorities will set up certain rigid standards as to age and appearance of recipients of specialâ€"delivery kisses. One of the enterprising telegraph companies, we learn from the public prints, has gone into the business of delivering kisses. You want to kiss a lady at a distant point, for some reaâ€" son, and the telegraph company assigns a messenger to take the rap, while you sit comfortably at home. All you have to do is pay the wire charges. It isn‘t even necessary to kiss a messenger at the sending end. The company takes care of everything.
