HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1957-11-14, Page 7Cat Crook -Catcher Hundreds of cats have been snatched by gangs and sold to hospitals for experiments recent- ly in England. And in Middles- brough, not long ago, police found that cats were being killed by boys who used the skins to make themselves Davy Crockett hats. But cats are not always the in- nocent"victims of human cruelty. A few years ago it was found that cats imported into Australia to deal with a rat plague had gone wild and were 'attacking cattle. Many cats, however, are good, law-abiding anduseful, like the pet of of St. Mary's Hospital who allowed himself to be the sub- ject of an experiment when a pathologise was trying to identi- fy a rare poison found in the re- mains of Mrs. Crippen. Having helped to identifythe drug, the eat recovered and lived to a ripe old age, rejoicing in the name Dr. Crippen! Mandy, a Siamese cat who lived at Ealing, couldn't sleep at sight. A year or two ago, a gang cried to break into her master's :hop, and Mandy, sitting up with oars cocked, wondered why the dog downstairs didn't raise the alarm. Eventually Mandy decided it was up to her, so she went and zeratched on her master's bed- room door till he Woke up. Going downstairs, he found a window torted, and gave the alarm. The crooks were caught. Paint Works Miracles In Hall The front hallway is the hand- shake of the house and should greet people cheerfully. 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 harmonize with the colors in the rooms opening into it. Primrose yellow is a good choice, 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 veiling 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 for 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 far 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. A Visit With Canada's New Pioneers SCHOOL BAND — LYNN LAKE, MANITOBA - By 11. R. CALVERT The wild west was tamed at 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 'night 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, from 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- planned; 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,11 like the people"—and I do. I was rather surprised at the number of motor vehicles at the airport, including four taxicabs. DAIRY PRINCESS — Sandra Sue Stout, 18, is crowned "1958 American Dairy Princess" by her predecessor, Shari Lewis, 21. Ceremony ,took place at the International Dairy Show. Miss Stout was chosen from 23 state dairy princesses. She received a $750 wardrobe and a $1,000 scholarship. I, learned later that, despite the fact that there are only 'thirty - odd ;miles of road, there aretwo hundred and fifty-four automo- biles and trucks on the townsite, two hundred and twenty-five of which are privately -owned. A short,, taxi ride of one mile on a sand and gravel road cut through stunted pine and ever- green brought us 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 lar g e, bright, clean, well -furnished room with bath overlooking the main street, After a good, inexpensive din- ner in the hotel restaurant 1 wandered down to the theater. Mrs. Patterson, whose husband is the manager, said — "We run two shows nightly, seven to nine • p.m., six days a week, summer and Winter. Summer attendance is not too good 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 months 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 Provincial Government. Money 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 Sherritt Gordon free of charge to the munici- pality. Our t own . planning scheme is such as to require and assure a high standard of homes and commercial- build- ings. You have 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 subdivision of 101 lots now being cleared for future homes." Even a cursory exa- mination of the impressive 21 - page planning scheme made it obvious that much thought 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 1952 has been over two hun- dred per year from an original 507 to the present figure of 1,674. 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 Lion's Club Bingo in the Community Club Skating . Rink. "Have you heard about the school band? Have you been out to the Government park at Zed Lake? Do you like fish- ing? Perhaps Wally Kuby would take you out for a crack>at lake trout. Have you heard aboutthe local drama club? Have you met Father Lapalme, a camera en- thusiast and the man respons- ible the formation of the'Thirty- Five Millimeter Club? Do you know the Legion is erecting a $36,000.00 building? Have you read the latest issue of the Lynn Lake Lyre, a monthly publica- tion as a Community Club proj- ect under the editorship of Tom Johnson?" Well, I thought, this town is really alive 1 (Ed.
