11,ospltals. i'o`r experiments recent-
ly in England, And in Middles-
brough, not long ago, police
found that eats 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. wildand 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-
sect of an experiment when a
pathologist was trying to identi-
fy a rare poison found in the re-
mains of Mrs. Crippen. Having
helped to identify' the drug, the
cat 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
Flight. A year or two ago, a gang
hied to break into her master's
shop, and Mandy, sitting up with
ears 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
forced, and gave the alarm. The
crooks were caught.
Paint Works
Miracles In HaH
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
iii the rooms opening into it.
]Primrose yellow is a good
choice, since yellow is on speak-
ing terms with most other col-
o s, 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
tar 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 '— LYNN LAKE, MANITOBA
I learned later that, despite the
fact . that there are only thirty -
odd'. files -'of road, there are twO
hundred and fifty-four automo-
biles and trucks on the townsite,
-two . Hundred and. twenty-five of
which are privately -owned,
A short .tal& ride .of one mile
on a sand azidi.gravel road cut
through .Stunte`d`'pine and ever-
green ?brought us to an attrac-
tive two-storey hotel. Popular
Manager Bob McKay welcomed
ale 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 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."
nter-
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 town 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 about the
local drama club? Have you mot
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 antic
(Ed. Note: Mr. Calvert's story
will be continued in our next
issue.)
By 11. R. CALVERT
The wild west was tamed at
the turn of the century. The
adventurers and pioneers who
made the-: Klondike blaze-471th.
golden stories have long since
died away. There is a new breed
of pioneer now. These people
ai'e 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
oyer how- I might fit in that 1
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'll like
the people"—and I do.
I was rather surprised at the
number of motor vehicles at the
airport, including four taxicabs.
