GERALDTON--A moose with

officers of the Ontario Depart-
ment of Lands and Forests in
this district north of Lake Sup-
erior.
A cow moose shot near Long -

ERN I E RICHARDSON'S
CURLING
CAPSULES
I agree in part with Ed-
monton's famed skip Matt
Baldwin that most sweep-
ing is more the result of a
skip's bad direction than
the real need for sweeping,
However, since there is not
too many perfect shots in
curling the sweeping is
definitely necessary and of
great value.
Sweeping will undoubt-
edly bring a light stone a
lot further, depending on
the ice conditions, of course.
If the ice is frosty or heavy
sweeping will be of little
value, but on good ice
sweeping will, I feel,
.lengthen the course of the
stone between 10 and 15
feet. It will also help to
hold the rock on course,
if they are good sweepers.
I must give much of the
credit for my success in
curling to the sweepers on
our team. I have thrown
many rocks that wouldn't
have gotten very far over
the hog line without the
help of my expert sweepers.
This was brought home
to me forcibly when we
won our first Brier cham-
pionship in'1959 at Quebec
City. It happened when
after winning our first
eight games we met Jack
Bergmann of Montreal, the
Quebec representative who
had lost all eight of his
games,
LAST ROCK
The play in point was on
the ninth end with the
score tied 5-5. Quebec had
two shots well spread in
the 12 -foot rings. We had
last rock so I decided to
try and draw to one of
their stones. Although my
draw weight had been good
all week I became a little
too confident and the shot
was through the house,
about two feet heavy. The
Quebec skip confidently
drew a third shot biting
the eight -foot rings, forcing
me to draw again with the
last rock of the end.
This time I was not quite
so confident but when
cousin Wes and my brother
Garnet said: "Just set it
down and we'll sweep it
in," it made my task much
easier.
That's just what I did. I
let the stone go so light
that I didn't think it would
reach thehog line. As soon
as it left my 'hand, almost,
Wes and Garnet began to
sweep as hard as they could
and they took it all the way

to be shot by about two
inches. I'm sure if they had
not swept that rock it
would hardly have reached
the hog line.
Instead of Quebec count-
ing three, we counted one,
and a valuable one at that
since we won the game
with last stone on the 12th
and final end. Here again
sweeping was of great im-
portance.
JUDGING
Apart from being. a good
sweeper that is, able to
wield the broom with con-
siderable force — a player
must also be able to judge
the weight — or speed —
of the rock and know just
when and how hard to
sweep. The judgment
should not be left entirely
with the skip, but should
be under his direction.
Many a well -directed shot
has been wasted through
bad judgment in sweep-
ing, while many an or-
dinary shot has become
perfect through good
sweeping at the right time.
Like blocking in football,
sweeping helps to keep the
players keenly active in
every phase of the game.
Twenty-three
Skidoo
Raccoon coats, the symbol
of college gaiety during the
Roaring Twenties, are fashion-
able again on some Canadian
campuses, Doreen Sanders
writes in The Financial Post.
And their popularity is spread-
ing among high-school students
as well. Despite the mild wea-
ther, scores of students at the
University of Western Ontario
are lumbering to lectures in old
coon coats salvaged from par-
ents' attics and used -fur deal-
ers. Dave Goodman, Toronto
fur wholesaler says, "The coon
craze is catching on in Canada.
A secondhand raccoon coat is
rugged and warm and costs $25-
$100, in fact, $100 buys a very
good used coat. There isn't
another fur coat you can buy for
that price that is as becoming
to a young person-- and anyhow„
that's all they'll let me show
them." Two male students at
Western are wearing coon coats
worn by their mothers 40 years
ago.
Eerie Choir of
Timber Wolves
The discordant chorus of
timber wolves in Ontario's
northland is "lunatic and spine -
chilling", according to Conser-
vation Officer F. N, Saunders,
of the Ontario Department of
Lands and Forests in North Bay.
Of a recent experience, near
his home a mile south of Tema-
gami on the north shore of Fin-
layson Bay, one of the many
bays dotting the 3, 000 mile
Lake Temagami shoreline, he
reports:
"The lead voice was an im-
pressive bass; his rich and pow-
erful voice reached many
places in the vast forests.
iiGradually the rest of the pack
joined in an assortment of
medium and higher notes and
with wails, yips and yipes.
The effect was lunatic, discor-
dant and spine -chilling.
Whether it came as a mat-
ter of accident or some natural
design, there were chummy
duets, melodious arias and
rambling obbligatos, then a
mass of chorale -resounding
splendour.
"The performance went on
for about ten minutes on this
cold January night, then trailed
off, diminishing slowly into the
quiet of the night, to rise again
in demoniac and throaty splen-
dour.
"In the five winters we have
lived here this was the third
time we had heard the wolf
chorus, a thrilling fulfillment
of the wilderness setting, of
primitive nature.
"All was silent then except
for the soughing of the winds in
the spruce trees at the rear of
our house. Deep in the fore-
ground we could hear the oc-
casional thunderous clap of con-
tracting ice on the Bay. The
Northern Lights did their agile
dance on the ragged horizon.
Suddenly we were aware of
being very cold. Not much
wonder—the temperature was
nearly 30 degrees below zero!
"Science reveals that wolves
have been in existence since
the days of the sabre-toothed
tiger. Snares, traps, guns and
poison have had little affect on
'them. With advanced methods
of control, it would seem that
their existence is in danger.
"Although much maligned,
it would appear that the timber
wolf has a vitally important
role in the balance of nature.
It would be pleasant to think
that in ages to come, on a
frigid winter night, our pro-
geny might hear, as we did,
this eerie choir of the wilder-
ness."
Doctor: "Now, madam,
place this thermometer be-
tween your teeth and keep your
lips closed for five minutes."
Husband (aside to doctor):
"What will you take for that
gadget, doctor?"
