The curler puts everything he his into the game. The following lines were truthfully written: Come draw the hack and circles true, And soup the rink fu’ clean, man; The hog score aye keep it in View, And never lie between, man; Then sides are te’en; wi’ micht and cowe, And ta’ the winner squarely. There are those who think that it is child’s play slinging these iron slugs or granites up and down the ice. That’s not true. Curling is a game of skill and when one knows the game it can be as exciting, perhaps even mére so, than a hotlyâ€"contested hockey match. ’ main They ply the broom and curlin’ stane ’Straucht up the howe, gie her the The proof of the pudding is in the eating of it. Not long ago, this year in fact, a local hockey player, he was in trim too, decided to add curling to his pastimes. He was in good trim and thought that curling was an “old woman’s game.” He found out for himself «and he admitted that it is far more strenuous than hockey. It uses a different set of muscles. If you don’t believe it then ask the man who, out of exercise, and for more than two hours (the average length of a game) has thrown several 67-pound stones (though they really are iron) up and down a. 100-foot strip of ice. The alleged feeling at that particu- lar moment in the morning, rising time, is not too comfortable. Here’s how one veteran explained it to the writer: “You’ll be ‘out like a light’ and you’ll feel as if somebody was driving seven kinds of knives through your body at the same time and driving them thmugh in seven different direc tions.” Sounds like a pleasant feel- ing, what? Physical Fitness Needed That’s the way curling affects the newcomer to the game, 01- one who is not in the proverbial ‘pink.’ Perhaps the explanation of the feeling after the first night’s game is doubtful; maybe exaggerated. Well, maybe it is. Curlers know some good stories! This game of cm‘lingâ€"-curr1ing as the Scot pronounces it with a decided roll on the ‘r’â€"â€"â€"is considered by many to be an “old woman’s game,” child’s play it has often been called. Yes, that fact is quite true as far as those who have never played the game are concerned. But the curler doesn’t think so. Those of you men who don’t exercise or are skeptical about curling being an exercise: take this tip, it’s a. good one. Take a. night off expressly for a game; visit a curl- ing club before the season comes to an end and indulge in a good, fast game. You probably won’t feel any- thing that night. But there’s no need to worry about? getting up the next morning; in fact you won’t be able to get up at all. At least that’s the claim. Geo. Leary, Clerk TERMS: â€" CASH ROARIN’ GAME CHILD’S PLAY?

(Kirkland Lake News) PAGE FOUR .you so. Ask him. When a curler saye “Whoa!” to a stone, it stops. There was once the novice who ask- ed his skip how to stop the stones from going right through,_ over the tee lines and into the hack at the end of the ice. There was only one way to stop, his skip explained, “Talk to the stones; that’s how we all get ’em on the button.” Oh! yes, these cu'rlers are in a class by themselves. Besides being taught how to be a good loser the novice is also instruct- ed in the “art” of taking to his stones. He must learn to talk to them . They listen. They are like obedient children; the curler will tell Enthusiasm Galore The curling brotherhood has an en- thusiasm that knOWS no bounds. The game itself holds a position unique among national games in that it is the one sport that is purely amateur and it is played all over the world. It grips its players and the spectators in a manner difficult to explain. It is rightly called the roarin’ gameâ€" wih the skip, whose position corre- sponds to that of the captain, doing most of the roarin’. The skip is the most experienced man on the rink, as the four men who comprise the rink are known. And it is a mild-tempered Sassenach who does not yell vitriolic Scotticisms at his men. There are some husky-voiced skips in every club. They rule their rinks with an iron handâ€"and the broom. The inevitable broom, that’s an- other thing. Manyâ€"legion almost-â€" are those who for “no unearthly rea- son see why the curler carries a broom around and sweeps in front of the stone!” One of the first things the novice curler is taught is the use of the broom. A broom to a curling stone is somewhat like a rudder to a steamer, almost. Perfection Hard Possibility An understood fact is- that to make a good curler one must be able to play efficiently in the various posi- tions on a rink, lead, second, third and skip. Then after five years of practice, faithful practice which calls for a game almost every night throughout the season, the encouragâ€" ing advice will be that perhaps you have the makings of a curler. With. out the slightest exaggeration it takes- at least five years for the average man to get onto, understand and play the game without drawing down upon himself the wrath of an irate skip. Curling is a test for the virtue of pa- tience, a very’good test. Sportsmanship Essential One of the greatest assets of the game is to know how to take a trimâ€" ming, how to be a good loser. When a rink is playing on a losing end that is one of the times a skip displays his mentality. He should be able to buck the game and win, or give up gamely. Certainly, by all means talk to the stones. One of these days they’ll an- swer back. Wait and see. Those who are skeptical about the use of the broom may not believe that a well swept stone can be advanced on a. rink from four feet to four yards depending, of course, on the condition of the ice. 40 Ft. of Rope, 11/; inch new 1 Potato Sprayer 1 Short Belt 1 Scythe 1 Corn Planter 1 Premier ‘Sepallatgr, lbs.

Mr. John Gill gave the scripture reading and Miss Ger- aldine Wesley explained the lesson. The Vice-President was the speaker for the evening and his topic was “If Christ was here in this modern world would he send missionaries where they are not wanted?” The topic Was well taken, and he then followed with a discussion period. The members voted for the affirmative. One mem- ber asked the question “What would our western country have been like had missionaries not gone out there? yet, the Indians did not want them.” Next Monday evening the citizenship Viceâ€"President, Mr. Willard Simpson, will take charge of the program and his topic Will be “What is your atti- tude to poverty and wealth?” These meetings are continually becoming- more interesting as all have an opporâ€" tunity to eigpress their opinions. xr-__._.._ The regular meeting of the Young Ladies‘ Class met at the home of Misses Nora and Mary Johns last Thursday evening. This being the first meeting of 1934, considerable businese had to be attended to.

Miss Mary Johns favoured the members with a piano solo, Miss Rheo Hooper had a reading prepared but as the evening was pret- to well spent for school girls she was asked to rfiei‘ve it for another eve»- ning.

Gault MacGowan, Managing Editor of the Trinidad Guardian, (British West Indies) writes: “In the past, producers thereâ€"like producers most plasesâ€"have ‘manuâ€" ‘manufacturer’ and then looked for a market. They planted in hope and reaped in sorrow. Now, realizing they can grow when they want to, they are aiming to reverse the proâ€" cess. First make your market, then grow for it. Pro'duction then auto- matically regulates itself to the ex- tent of prOSpective business. “For if our planters and farmers sold more, they would also employ more. And employing more means raising the spending power of the na~ tion. Instead of the trade index- fingers going anti-clockwise as they are at present, they would go clock~ wise. The vicious circle would be- come a merry-go-round.” “Some time ago I said that there was no hope of a return to prosperity until those who produced also learned to sell. I pointed out that producers of primary products are the ones that advertise least. They let luxury manâ€" ufacturers advertise to the trade, and forget that those who ‘manufacture’ crops need] to advertise also. “Now, I find cultivators of tropical products are responding to my ap- peal. From Martinique comes the re- port of a movement among banana ‘manufacturers’ first to find their market and then to produce for it. “If one hundred farmers gave ten dollars a year each, they would have a thousand dollars for a fighting fund to tell the world about the crops that are coming. If a few cents were col- lected on every bag of cocoa or coffee or other produce sold, then the fight ing fund would swell into millions of dollars. And once the primary pro- ducers of a nation, or group of na- tions begin to unite to preach the virtues of healthy, scientifically grown produce planted and reaped tinder civilized conditions, we should cease to hear about over-production.

We are not advocatmg There are a number of persons who , evening suppers, but we would point have developed bad habits of sleeping with the result that they lie awake for hours each night, acting the part of night watchmen without pay. We say that this wakefulness is a. bad1 habit, because sleep itself is largely a matter of habit. We know that sufficient rest is re- nuired if we are to enjoy health and out that it is not eating, but rather what you eat that is important. Many people find that a. glass of milk or some plain food encourages sleep. Most animals sleep after eat- ing. Good digestion goes with sound sleep, and disorders of the digestion interfere with sleep. The hungry person does not sleep well. There are certain conditions which favour sleep and others which defeat it. It is important to be comfortably warm. Most of us have experienced the repeated wakings in a. night when the weather has turned unexpectedly cold. In such cases, it is better to get up and secure extra. covering. It is a. mistake to go to bed with cold feet. A hot bath before retiring, or the use of a hot-water bottle will overcome this discomfort. We know that sufficient rest is re- quired if we are to enjoy health and that the most perfect form of rest is sleep. We know also that, in gen- eral, it is desirable to have periods of rest follow periods of activity, or, in other words, that a regular routine of life promotes physical well-being. Nevertheless, the person who has dif- ficulty in sleeping must understand that sleep at a given time for a_ given period is not essential to health, which means that there is no real danger in not sleeping. No one has ever died from lack of sleep. The chief worry of the insomniac grows out of a fear that lack of sleep is injurious, and he finds the hours of wakefulness most irritating. He discovers that the most effective way to keep awake is to try to go to sleep through counting sheep, or in some other manner. There is a common belief that eat- ing before going to bed interferes Custom Sawing THE PATH ACROSS THE HILL. SHEPPARD & GILL LUMBER CO. SHOW CARDS PRICE TICKETS _â€" BANNERS G.
