For example E. V. Zaleski of Kirkland Lake has submitted an entry of a northern pike weighing 33 pounds 4 ounces. The entry of a lake trout from D.

Park Near Mattawa Has Interesting History Samuel de Champlain Park on highway 17, between North Bay and Mattawa, where one of the new historic exhibit centres is being established by the Dept, of Lands and Forests has an in- teresting history, The Mattawa River is part of Canada's historic waterway. It was in use by Indians long be- fore the arrival of Europeans. It soon led early explorers to the interior and later became the famous canoe route of the. fur trade. Today, it is still an important route and part of the Trans -Canada Highway lies along its shore. On each side, the rocky uplands rise to more than 1, 000 feet. The lowland, occupied by the Mattawa River and Lake Nipissing, was form- ed less than 300 trillion years ago when faultin) caused the rocks along this region to drop and form a wide trough or val- ley. These rocks are gnissesoii the Precambrian Era, which be• gan more than 2, 000 million years ago and ended some 600 million years ago. Only 11, 000 years ago saw the last of the ice sheet of the Ice Age in this region. Glacial Lake Nipissing was then much larger and included Lakes Hu- ron, Michigan and Superior. The drainage was via the Mat- tawa, which was much larger, and which left deposits of small boulders, gravels and flat sandy areas which were once under water. It was due to geological phenomena of millions of years ago that Canada gained this outstanding water route. Link- ing the St. Lawrence River with HOW ORGANS BEGAN The pipe organ goes back more than 20 centuries. A crude Egyptian terra-cotta fig- urine depicts a minstrel who sings while he plays a mouth organ or pan -pipe. The pipes are connected to a hose and it leads to a small bellows operat- ed perated by the minstrel's foot. About 200 B, C. a famous en- gineer of Alexandria is said to have built a complex organ, whose wind pressure derived from two water pumps. Detail- ed descriptions and diagrams still exist. The Romans used organs to supply a musical ac- companiement to the brutal martyrdom of Christians in their arenas. listed at 7 pounds 52 ounces. Contestants in this province - wide "big fish" contest are vy- ing for cash awards of more than $3, 000. In addition to the cash awards, the Molson's master angler crest is presented to each fishing enthusiastsub- mitting an entry which com- plies with the minimum weight standards. The tournament continues through until October 31st. NAPOLEON - By McBride 1 DON'T 5UPF‹)5E NAPO- LEON LIKES FLIES ANY BETTER THAN 1 rDO - l .. ._. G i( . N MOCO -- By Barley MOGO G the Great Lakes, the route led almost halfway across the con- tinent to make possible a vast fur trade and the stimulation of early exploration and discov- ery. The first European to travel this way was probably Etienne Brule in 1610 when he is said to have spent a year with the Algonquins and Hurons. In 1615, Samuel de Champlain made the trip and visited the Hurons on Georgian Bay. In 1634, Champlain selected Jean Nicolet to make,an at- tempt to find the Western Sea. Nicolet travelled this route, got as far as Lake Michigan, Green Bay, Fox River, Lake Winnegago, and almost reach- ed the Mississippi. Champlain died in 1635. PROVENCE DIFFERS FROM THE REST OF FRANCE The ancient province of southeastern France, still known as Provence, differs greatly within itself and also from the other parts of the country. The north is damp, changeable and stony; the south is mild, given to the keeping of bees and silkworms and to growing olives citrons, mulberries, wine grapes and oranges. The Pro- vencal people have a language and literature of their own and it is almost as close to Spanish and Italian as to French.
