WE VISIT NIPIGON Since Highway 17 by=pass at Bi pigon wes completed we seldom take the time to go into the Town, This past weekend we had occasion to make the trip. Nipigon is a pretty little Town. - situated - in a hollow on the shore of Lake Superior with 'a dramatic view available from Highway 17. We had half expected a somnolent, sleepy atmosphere --- in keeping with that dramatic view but were agreeably surprised to find an air of bustle and energy prevalent in the Town. Nipigon has quite a historical background. For a tine in history it was a toss-up whether Nipigon or Port Arthur-Fort Williaa would devslor into "The" Lakehea! city. : This comamity - about twice as large as Terrace Day - has several churches, gchodls, a xed Cross Hospital, quite a varied shopping area, a theatre, some industry and promises to become quite a tourist. centre. More motels, and service stations are being erected to add to the considerable number which already' exist, There must be various Ladies' and Ments organizations, Scout and Girl Guide 'movements, Minor Hockey and Baseball, as well as other adult and juvenile activities.

If -you"are to the left, step-back and motion the other bowler to go ahead. This will help him concentrate on the job at hand - and increase. his estimation of you as a gentlemanly competitor. aan ne ne ee ee TOO MANY HANDOUTS SMOTHER INITIATIVE This "tip" for *teens was sent to us by a reader, Sorry we cantt give eredit to the writer, but it was a newspaper clipping and no | "We hear 'teen-agers complain.
