However, I will say that practieally every time I turn around scme one is going to Schreiber for some reason or other but it's a change - - and they say that's better than a rest. I will certainly agree on that point now that I am beginning to find out what a rest is like. Some cf you will be interested to know that we held a discussion about a ball team and our girls have decided to go in with some from the Lower Camp to make up a team.. No one went up to the Lakehead this weekend. Terry went heme to Rossport as usual and we all envy that delicious home-eooked meal she was looking forward to. Ruth and Anne went to Schreiber to do some shopping - - don't be surprised if the stores lock a little bare as the girls came home overloaded with parcels, in fact they even brought us cur supper. By the way, if Irene and Ina look a little thinner and rather worn, it's only because they spent a greater part of the weekend hiking up the largest hills they cculd find. We were certainly pleased to have Kay and Ina drop over last week for a chat as we do miss them at the house, so, come over as often as you ean girls. Speaking of chatting, here are a few little bits I picked up during the week: Quote: "You never can tell about women and if you ean, you shouldn't." "Opportunity knocks for every man but a woman gets a ring." "It was one of those feminine questions which gives a man his choice between two wrong answers," "A small town is a place where everybody knows the troubles you've seen." -00o- WOODLANDS LOG By Len Christianson Mr. A. F. Buell, Manager of Pulpwood Supply Company, Long Lac, and Mr. Ira Campbell of the same company, were visitors of Terrace Bay this week. Many problems of the Woodlands Department were discussed and deeided upon, One of the main topics was "fire protection" and "fire prevention" which will likely coneern all of us direetly or indirectly until the snow starts to fly next Fahl. Last week, a few figures were submitted in this cclumn (from Dominion Forest Service pamphlet, Department of Mines and Resourees) covering forest depletion. In addition to 347,592 acres destroyed cr wasted through fire, there are approximately 500,000 acres de- stroyed by insects and diseases. The Woodlands Department would be glad tc be informed of any evidence of either in this vicinity. ' ~~ _
