Unfor- tunately, it is usually the most gloomy spot in the home be- cause it seldom receives a ray of sunshine. Suggestions for injecting a cheery 'hello" into the most dis- mal entrance hall are offered by W. D Sinclair, color consult- ant. Paint can work miracles, pro- viding the colors are right. The color of the hall walls should be light and sunny but it must also harnionize with the colors in the rooms opening into it. Primrose yellow is a good ehoice, since yellow is on speak- ing terms with most other col- ors, says Mr. Sinclair. If the hall is a long narrow tunnel, square it up by painting the end walls a darker color— a medium" blue, for instance. Dark colors tend to pull walls In, light colors make them take a step back, visually changing the shape of a room. Especially in an old house, the ceiling often seems, far too high for the size of a narrow hall. Mr. Sinclair suggests using the darker color trick to pull the ceiling down. Another effective measure is to dispense with the. ceiling light and, instead, use a lamp placed low on a table. Finally, every room needs a centre of interest, even an en- trance hall. A painting on the wall opposite the door draws at- tention into the house. A softly- shaded lamp suggests warmth and welcome. When the front -door is opened, even the paper- boy' should feel "Here is a pleas- ant house to live in!" Minnow-Keeper A little know secret of trans- porting minnows• fork long dis- tances is to carry them in an air- tight container. A milk can with tight cover is ideal for carrying large numbers. One or two gal- lon, wide-mouthed' "glass jars, are ideal for carrying smaller numbers. Place fresh water in the container, put in minnows, and screw lid on tightly. When jar is opened, change water and replace tight cover. Minnows can be carried safely and gen- erally will remain lively for 24 hours by using this method. SCHOOL BAND LY By IL R. CALVERT. The, wilcl west, was tamed et the turn , of the century, The adventurers and pioneers who made the Klondike blaze with golden stories have long since died away. There is a new breed of pioneer now. These people are steadily pushing the known boundaries of Canada ever wid- er and in them the spirit of ad- venture still lives. Most Canadians hug the south- ern boundary of their country and cities such as Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, contain the bulk of the country's pop- ulation; thousands and thou- sands of• people talk with pride- of Canada's rapidly growing mining industry but not many -of them have had the opportun- ity I have of taking a look at this industry "in the flesh"—or at least one small segment of it. In August of this year I left Winnipeg and flew north and west to the town of Lynn Lake, Manitoba, where Sherritt Gor- don Mines Limited are located, and spent one of the most pleas- ant weeks of my life in this community with people who are a part of the mining industry. These people are undoubtedly Canada's pioneers of today and they are also, undoubtedly, the most highly-paid pioneers since the dawn of history. When I left Toronto to visit Lynn Lake on August 5th it was with no foreknowledge of what I might find. Perhaps I can be pardoned for thinking, because it is a common misimpression— that a typical mining town is made up of a group of hard- drinking, hard-gambling social misfits eking out a bare exist- ence in a community of shacks, and in which there is little or no recreational or social activ- ity. It was with some concern over how I might fit in that. I boarded C.P.A. at Winnipeg. The aircraft • stops respectively at Dauphin, The Pas and Flin Flon before its 'last leg to Lynn Lake. It was interesting to note the change taking place on the terrain below us—flat, rich, fer- tile farm lands gradually becom- ing more lake-dotted and heav- ily treed—and finally no cul- tivation at all, just mile after mile of rivers, lakes and mus- keg, froth the air seemingly im- passable. Some five hours' after leaving Winnipeg, we circled the town of Lynn Lake which,' even from above, looked clean and_ well- panned; 'a wide main street, homes painted and modern, the Sherrit Gordon Mine buildings compact, efficient looking, on an elevated area east of the townsite. Perhaps a sixth sense told me—perhaps my memory influenced by subsequent events is faulty, but I seem to recall that suddenly I was no longer "concerned—that I said to myself "I'll like this town and I'll like the people"—and I do. I was rather surprised at the number of motor vehicles -at the airport, including four taxicabs. NN MANITOBA I learned• Wei= that, despite the fact that there are only thirty • - odd; miles of road, there are two hundred and fifty-four automo- biles and trucks on the townsite, two hundred and twenty-fiVe of which, ate privately-owned, A short taxi ride of one' mile on a sand end gravel road cut through stunted pine and ever- green brought els to an attrac- tive two-storey hotel. Popular Manager Bob McKay welcomed me aboard in refreshing old- time greeter's style, and showed me to a 1 a r g e, bright, clean, well-furnished room with bath overlooking, the main street. After a good, inexpensive din- ner in the hotel restaurant I wandered down to the theater. Mrs. Patterson, whose husband is the managee, said'— "We run two shows nightly, seven to nine p.m., six days a week, summer and winter. Summer attendance is not too iood because our summers in Lynn Lake are 'short and, people „like to take advan- tage of the good weather. How- ever, our theater is well pa- tronized during the winter and we try to provide good enter- tainment." The theater is a„cre- dit to the town — four hundred comfortable seats and featuring a wide-vision screen. It was built by Calvert Construction Com- pany and personable Bill Cal- vert commented, with pardon- able pride, "This was a hurry- up job; _the first show was pre- sented to the public less than two month's from the day we started construction." Lynn Lake is under a Local District form of Government with C. R. Neely the Adminis- ' trator and S. G. Gudgeon his Assistant, Mr. Gudgeon, in Mr. Neely's. absence, was most co- operative•.in„supplying informa- tion pertinent, to, this article. The Local Government DiStrict of Lynn Lake covers roughly four hundred square miles centered by the townsite. Annual 'budgets are prepared and submitted ,to the P r o'v incial Government. M o n e y is raised, partially by taxation, but Sherritt Gordon Mines Limited provide the bulk of .the money required to run the community, To quote Mr. Gudgeon, "Hundreds of thou- sands of dollars, were ,and are being spent by herritt Gordon free of charge to the munici- pality. Our to w n planning scheme is such as to require and assure a high. standard of homes and .commercial, build- ings. You haye doubtless seen that Many new modern- homes are under construction. Certain - areas are classified as 'residen- tial-districts' and others as 'busi- ness or commercial districts'; note this new tubdivisiOn of 101 lots now being cleared .for future homes." Even a cursory exa- mination of the impressive 21- Page planning sehetne made it °Welts that much theught, had been given to expansion' and standard of structures, and this foresight is paying dividends as is evidenced by the fact that the population increase since 1.052 ,has been over two hun- dred per year from an otiiginal 507 Id the present figure of 1,674. e One of the Most impressive buildings in town is the, post office, Mrs, Rachael Wolfenden, assistant postmistress, cheerfully and with obvious community pride, suggested I might like to- attend the Lionis Club Binge the Community` Club Skating Rink.

Perhaps it was the deafening clamor from all the sea birds ever us which showed that something fresh was brewing. The screaming ,of birds with many 'Voices W45 SG hectic and so earthly, after the dead creak- ing of lifeless ropes which was all we had heard, above the noise of the sea in the three months we had behind us . At, six o'clock Bengt came down from the masthead, wake Her- man, and turned in, When Her- man clambered up the creaking swaying mast the day had be- gun to break, Ten minutes later he was down the rope-ladder again and was shaking me by the leg, "Come out and have a look at your island!" His face was radiant, and I jumped up, followed by Bengt, who had not quite gone to• sleep yet, Hard on each other's heels, we huddled together as high as we could climb, at the point where the masts crossed. There were many birds around us, and a faint violet blue veil over the sky was reflected in the sea as a last relic of the departing night, But over the whole horizon away to the east a ruddy glow .had begun to spread,' and far down to the south-east• it grad- ually formed a bloodred back- ground for a faint shadow, like a blue pencil line, drawn for a sohrt way along the edge of the sea . . We heel only to cast one glance over the sea to perceive at once, from the direction Of the waves, that we had lost our chance in the darkness. Where we now lay, the wind no longer allowed us to press the' raft on a course towards the island. The region around the Tuamotu archipelago . .

We laid the steering oar aver, but we knew quite well that it was useless. At half-past six the sun rose out of the sea and climbed straight up aS it does in the tropics. The . island lay some few miles away and had the appearance of 'a• quite low strip of forest creeping along the horiion. The trees were crowded close together behind a narrow light-colored beach which 'lay so low that it' was hidden behind the seas at a reg- ular intervals.
