Successful Carnival Held Saturday Night at South Porcupine Arena Its success was entirely due to the efforts of the Log Cabin Ski Club who worked very hard both before the carâ€" nival and during the evening. As a financial success it is outstanding, as, owing to the generosity of local merâ€" chants and the coâ€"operation of the workers, the free performances of the McIntyre Fancy Skating Club, and the Gold Belt Band expenses were small. Even the caretaker of the rink had done his part by putting patriotic emâ€" blems under the ice surface and hung the arena with flags.
