The memberships will be available at three or four places through the city. Indications that this â€" season, if favorable at all to the sport, would see the greatest number of skiers in the Nickel Belt since the art of sliding across snow first became popular, was seen in the attendance at the annual meeting of the northern section of the Ontario ski zone here some weeks ago.

Was that charity? Rouyn, Nov. 25,â€"One of the main subjects under discussion at the Junior Chambers of Commerce meeting this week was the condition of the winter roads from Rouynâ€"Noranda to various points, both in other parts of the proâ€" vince and in the direction of the Onâ€" tario border. A request has been sent to the Provincial Government that the work of keeping these roads open durâ€" ing the winter months be undertaken by the Department of Highways, rather than that the contract be awarded to a jobbing contractor. The reason adâ€" vanced for this is that, unless such contractor obtains a contract for severâ€" al years it is not worth his while to purchase all the expensive equipment needed on such a job. The following is an editorial article from The Haileyburian last week:â€" "Hailéeybury is going to miss the hockey games this year, with the deâ€" cision of the authorities that the arena building is required for military purâ€" poses. There will be no indoor rink here this winter and, consequently, litâ€" tle or no chance of promoting a hockey team. This comes at a time when the sport had been in a fair way to prove especially popular, following the success of the local boys in building up a good aggregation last season and with hopes of repeating that success this winter. "It may be possible, of course, to proâ€" vide a temporary open air rink and some discussion of a likely site has alâ€" ready been heard, but this will be far from what the community has had in previous seasons. The men who have promoted hockey in Haileybury for many years are pretty well discouraged with the situation and see little hope of making it a success in an open air rink with all playâ€"off games, at least beinz held in one or other of the neighborâ€" ing towns. It just looks hopeless, but there is, of course, no bitter feeling against the powers that be, as no one in the community would want to do anything that would interfere with the carrying on of the country‘s part in the war, which affects us all and which all want to see carried through to a sucâ€" cessful conclusion. The community can stand the temporary lack of a skating arena, but it could not stand the situation very long, if the war shcould go against us." Want to Keep the Highway into Ottawa Open All Year Itce has been forming on the lake for more than a week, and now with the excepticn of the section near the C.P.R. bride, where the current flows continâ€" uously during the winter, the ice is thick enough for skating.

On arrival, they found that the pipes and chimney were on fire and that the wosden shingles on the roof had become ignited. The exceptionally long string of pipes in the house made the tenants quite nervous with the reâ€" sult that, althouch the house is ‘"out of bounds" as far as the New Liskeard department is concerned, the boys turned out as usual. No damage was done." ' Deputy District Governorâ€" William Wylie, from Schumacher, was present at the meeting. Another guest was E. J. Bender, Music Director of Public Schools in Timmins.

One Kiwanian threatened (later in the afternoon) to give a talk on the other side of the question some time whnen the opportunity affords. going through with it. Ralph explainâ€" ed that some time ago he had a bright idea that it had stuck with him until h e had just got to get it off his chest, or words to that effect. The theory expounded by the speaker was that freight rates should be paid out of the taxes, that manufactured products should cost the same in one part Of the country as in another, and he cited instances of where the porducts of some firms are the same no matter where you are, the freight rates being spread over the entire product. Mr. Taylor cited some advantages which would acrew to everyone, especially in regard to coal, which affects us up north no little bit, and then supposed that it might not work to the advantaze of all. The payment of the railways was the stumblingâ€"block but it was suggestâ€" ed that this could be arranged by a tax similar to the sales tax and it was thougnt probably ten per cent would be sufficient to cover most items. That there were good points in the arguâ€" ments of the speaker was evidenced by the remarks of other members at the close of the address; some suggested that Ralph go a little further in his figuring, "that he had something there," while another member thought the subject was one that we "could have some fun with" and suggested that a debate be staged, endeavouring to bring Tom Magladery in to take the "opâ€" position."
