BOOSTER CLUB PROVES
ITS: WORTH
-The past few days have seen cOrr- ,
Siderable. activity on the part of ex-
ecutive Triembers of the •Witigham
Booster Club, an organization devoted
p rim ati 1 y.. t o, providing; fan ds 'and. lea d,-
,ership for -hockey in .the town:, -
It was gratifying 'to See the club
getting into action•early,ao,ugh in the
season to ,allow properAnne to •set up
a team and arrange for -coaching and
ii;tanagFinent. A11, too frequently, in
the past,. the Organizational meeting
for the hockey season., has. been held
so late in the Jail. that there was no
time to get the best players signed.
It fact the' better players have, at
times, . sighed with teams in Other
towns before ,any effort could be made
to, keep them at -home.
There is another aspect to the
Booster club which should appeal to
the public, too. Under the present set-
up the 'bills Are largely paid hy the
people who are most interested in see-
ing hockey played in Winghaim. In
some communities the sport has vir-
tually become a burdemon .the taxpay-
er as the towns concerned have assum-
ed arena deficits ,and in other ways
indirectly backed the teams.
Without A plebiscite there would
be no way of knowing whether or not
a majority of the taxpjayers agree
with this practice, so it seems only
fair that the necessary funds should
mbe'provided by those who are openly
and clearly interested' in seeing hockey
played in the town. The Booster Club
project provides 'that type of self-
help with which' we are perfectly in
aocord..

ever, this happens to be National
Newspaper Week and for that reason
we are, for once, more than ordinarily

In this issue of The Advaive-Times

some of the aspects of our work which hers fail to realize that such words,
will be interesting to newspaper read- fully interpreted, mean, "That's some-

Newspapers all over the, country, know,"
and irresponsible leadership. Vortun-
ately, the newspaper, here is seldom
called-upon to point the finger in any
such cases, but if and when the need
should arise, than is precisely what it
will do.
.England's law-makers have usually
beena pretty hard-headed lot. 'When
they. decided, several hundred years
ago, that newspapers and the freedom
of the press were a basic need in N.
healthy democracy, they had given the
matter careful thought. When a new
constitution was formed in the United
States of America to correct the. errors
which, the colonists felt were -inherent
in the old world system they 'didn't
throw out the freedom Of, the press.
- Freedom .of the press is one of
those intangibles which often seem

THE MOST 'BEAUTIFUL •

We 'sneaked away for a few hours
over the week-end to take a look at.
Muskoka the Beautiful — and in spite
'of rain the land of lakes was a sight to
see. ;The trees in that part Of the pro-
vince ..are perhaps a week ahead of
those in this locality and their flaming
coloics made the trip well worth while.
To see Muskoka at its best it. is
well to. have a map of the area which
indicates the lesser-used roads, for
.back in. the country the twisting by-
.ways lead one through an autumn
fairyland beyond description. There
is no point in launching into a word
picture of the sights which strike the
eye ,at this time of year. All we can
do is recommend that yoU'do just What

Dave Bunting, an Ojibway Indian
of the Lac Seal band, is farnotis
around SiouN ,Lookout as a canoe-
man. When the,-annual Labor 'Day
canoe race across „Pelican 'Lake
gets under way, the wise money is
mostly on Dave, Now this sa:Il-
round good Indian has come out
on top in a mid-winter raCestlittiti
the wilderness south-east of Sietix
Lookout. He ran against a. field*
seven timber wolves, and the pril.e.
was $1,500 in wolf bounty inoneY.1
It all started back in the early
thirties, when Dave came across a'
fresh wolf track on' his' trapline,'
and having ,nothing, important, to
do at the mement,',decidept ,to follOw
it. Much to his surprise, he soon
saw the wolf through the trees
ahead, struggling along in the
loose 'snow. The rest was easy, and
the $25.00 bounty money. looked
pretty good to the Indian in those
money-scarce days. In 1033, he shot
four•wolves out of a pack he ran
down in the notoriously deep snow
of that year, and ever slime, wolves
crossing his trapline 'have had to
watch behind them. This type. of
wolf hunting requires deep, soft
snow, for with good footing a wolf
can easily keep ahead of a Man on
sn(:Ivshoes. Conditions must' have ,
heeb , right 1037, for that; year
Dave walked doWn' and killed nine
wolyes altogether, four of theirs
from one pack.
Such a winter, too, was that of

Sioux Lookout on October 28th,
and all through November, Decent-

And moose, normally' not much
