Although small in stature, he : *certainly filled his position well, both on the diamond, and at his work. o# ; â€" _ Art ‘played regular centre ‘feld for Hollinger from 1939 until __ 1945, with the exception of one year, 1940, when he, Reg. Dorey and "" Jimmy Cookson, shared the patrol duty on coach Barton‘s great team. **‘ _ Although not a consistently good hitter at any time during his 4‘ stay in the Porcupine, Art more than made up for this by his deer like qualities in the pastures, and on the base paths. g Fans remember Art best by his flowing smoothness in running _after a fly ball, his ability to steal bases, and his superb bunting. No in amateur ball can lay down a bunt and beat it out, quite like Art. Combine this with his ready wit, bellowing laughter, great comâ€" petitive spirit, and an all round good guy, and you have the reason ** why Art will be missed around the: Holly ball park for many years to come. He has been a credit to baseball, to the community and to himself and his family during his short stay in the Poréupine, and all his friends andâ€" admirers along with myself are wishing Art the best «* in his new venture. a"ae s STARTS SATURDAY Shows at 2 15 â€" 7 â€" 9 p.m. HUMPHREY BOGART > Lucky did you say? Sure we were lucky, but to put it in Barton‘s own words. "Everything went according to plan‘. Bim Sturgeon, local sports director was the bearer of sad tidings this week. In a letter addressed to the Hollinger Park Committee, Mr. Sturgeon requested the headsâ€"of the big mine, to accomodate the fast growing number of fast ball fans, by erecting stands around the sofballâ€" diamond. yiâ€" Its true that the hlgh school pupils use these stands in the fall, for their interscholastic rugby games, but then, there is only a dogen or so games played here, in the short rugby «season, and considering the colder weather, most people would prefer to stand. On the other hand, there are no less than fifteen organized fastball teams,‘not counting the juniors and juveniles, who could put these stands to very good use, and at the same time help to finance their cause, in the form of a silver collection. w0 C en If you were one of ‘the three thousand odd fans who witnessed this eleven inning thriller, you will noâ€" doubt recall the top half of the eleventh inning. With teammate Dusty Baker, perched on third base, by virtue ofâ€"his tremendouns right centre smash, we selâ€" ected a hickory and promptly marched over to coach Vince Barton at third base for instructions. j Receiving same, we proceeded to carry them here‘s how it went. The first ball pitched by coach Bill Tennant, was high outside, although Bill swears it was a perfect strike, which we let go by, noticing at theâ€"same. time. that the whole Combine infield was playing on the grass, expected a squeeze bunt. The next pitch, a perfect strike, letter high, was the squeeze bunt, but did not come off as was expected byâ€" the opposition. Instéad of bunting on the ground, the ball soared high and far, over the heads of:the infield and too close for the outfisld, landing in the vicinity of second. base, while Baker romped home with the winning Ttun, and Romualdi and co. glued to the ground watching the ball land unable to do anything about it. A At the present time hundreds of fans in this town have to sit down on the damp grass, or stand up ,for nine full innings of softâ€" ball, each Sunday, Tuesday gnd Thursdays, because there isn‘t any seating accomodation 4 hy cincinn th~ ie t uow t > itA In answerâ€"to his.letter, Blm states that the Park Committee have taken this sports crigis mmuufiom and have decided against building stands for this year.. ..Why? We haven‘t found out.

The Hollinger Tennis Courts are available four days a week from ten till twelve and twe days a week from two till #d Everyone is enjoying the practice dfig games and they are all learning the ins and outs of the sport quite readily. Track and Field Classes are held regularly every Tuesday and Thursâ€" day evenings at the Hollinger Ball Park at 7 p.m. These classes are for the benefit of all groups. It is hoped that short Saturday meets may be arranged soon for time travels, jumps, and weight throwing. The T.CA.C. has procured a javelin and more equipment will be on hand soon. Schedules have been drawn up for the‘playgrounds and will soon be put into use. It is hoped that by the use of <these schedules several activâ€" ities will Bbe rotated so as to provide various .games and classes for the children each day. The program is mainly to encourage a larger comâ€" munity participation in playground work both in older people an«l in the youth clubs: Softhall, soccer, and other games can be played by these groups, if they wish, on the playâ€" the white man. The=constant threat of tuberculosis and the heavy infant mortality rate is one of their chief worries. Another source of to the redman is that he is not only imâ€" poverished financially but in the matâ€" ter of vitamins and â€"minerals as well. What is the cause of this? we asked. "The chief reasons are, no deer, carâ€" ibou or moose, the once. well stocked reserves where these animals roamed the. plains in thousands are now comâ€" pletely depleted: This meat formed the best part of the Indian and Esâ€" kimo‘s ‘diet as well as other animals he â€"once was able to trap and hunt. Now he is being rapidly reduced to starvation. But there are still ducks and geese by the thousands, to the sportsman, who duck hunts in the fall, Fort George would prove a "paradise‘‘. There are miles and miles of nothing else but blueberâ€" ries too, cranberries are also plentiâ€" ful and so is bear meat. But that fare alone is not enough. Family allowances and other reâ€" lief measures help considerably. Milk }s drank in larger quantitiee now and vegetables are eaten in greater amâ€" ounts. "How about, schools, churches, forms of recreation and what conâ€" stitutes the Redman‘s livelihod we wanted to know. *There are two schools, one conducted by the Angliâ€" can Mission, the other by the Roman Catholics. There is also a seven bed hospital. For recreation, we skate, snowshoe and ride over the plains by dog team, the latter is still our main form of transportation.

(Continued FProm Page One) From his own experience at the time, he gave graphic description of inciâ€" dents and details of the fire. Special mention was given to the tireless work of Provincial Police Officers Chas. Piercy and Geo Murray, who seemed, literally, to go without sleep for days. The speaker paid special tribute to one of the outstanding heroines of the 1911 fire. This was Miss Marie Gibbons (now Mrs. J.; Legris, of Timâ€" mins), telephone operator. Despite all advice, and even orders, she reâ€" fused to leave the switchboard until she had called every number on the line to make sure that they knew of the danger and the necessity for seekâ€" ing immediate safety. As soon as she was sure of the safety of others, she came out of the burning town, still wearing the smile for which she was beloved by all. avenue he first struck the officer on the face and then kicked him on the knee.

Hearty greeting and welcome back was ‘given to Kiwanian Arch Gillies, who has been absent for some months on acocunt of illness. President Kenâ€" nie voiced the general feeling when he said that all were delighted to One of the specially interesting photographs shown was a picture of two horses with badly burned backs. These were all that was left to Jack Dalton from his livery and transfer business. Everything .else perished in the fire. In the panic over the fire, the horses seemed to be determind to return to their stabfes, after they had been rescued from the fire danger there. These two horses, however, had been rescued by Jack Dalton himself. He hung on to them, wading out into the lake, while still clinging to their bridles and holding them. The intense heat scorched their backs, but they were the only horses in the big stable that did not lose their lives. Telephone and telegraph operators and railway employees gave unbeâ€" lievably long hours of hustle to serve the people‘s. many needs. They were spelled at times by men having some previous experience, and who followâ€" ed the general rule of doing anything they could to help. The late Dr. J. A. McInnis also came in for special reference for his devoted work‘ at this testing time. Reference was made to the clever way in which organization was perâ€" fected to care for those made homeâ€" less by the fire, the speaker himself being kept busy in this line. The weather had turned cold after the fire, and shelter was an absolute necessity. By ten o‘clock at night, practically everybody was provided shelter, mostly in tents and under blankets. ney S. A. Caldbick, K.C. stated, For the prosecution Crown Atto {. " In the course of his duty a poli¢ceman expects to be struck by drunks (or have his arm bitten but this man was not drunk.
