(All nets require a permit or a license.) -o0o- Efforts are being made to complete the fire-break around Terrace Bay before the fire season and the Woodlands Department feels they are doing all that is practieal in the way of fire prevention outside Terrace Bay but a carelessly disearded mateh or cigarette could still do plenty of damage regardless of preeautions, High winds soon put 4 smal} flame out of control and throw sparks and burning embers for considerable distances, Around Terrace Bay there is usually sand available for smothering small flames if water is not handy, -o0o- In the social activities of the Woodlands Department, the only item of note for this week is the arrival of Ole 'Flapjaek' Swenson in our midst, The exaet age of Ole is hard tc determine but judging from his stories, and rumours about him, he is well past the jitterbug stage. It seems that he is distantly related to Osear Wisselmunk IIT (on his great-great grandmother's side). This likely accounts for their similar characteristiesi Ole boasts that when he was 4 young lad in his prime, he was parneboss for Paul Bunyan and he-had four helpers around the barn working steady to help him feed and care for 'Babe! who was Paul's blue ox. Ole likes it here and intends to stay awhile if he ean get used to all this new-fangled rigging such as trucks and tractors. Although he is.a cockj lumberjack, general handyman and pine-stump philosopher, I don't think it would be wise to let him dco any cooking since he fries beans up-side down, We are interested in Ole's origin and will try to trace it further. =-000- CHURCH - Catholic Services: Arrangements have now been completed whereby Roman Catholié -----------------------= Mass will be celebrated at Terraee Bay every Sunday morning at 10:00 asm. in the Reereation Hall, Rev.

Lavender of Sehreiber, Following the service, a meeting will be held to choose a Protestant Church Committee for Terrace Bay. -o0o- SOFTBALL NEWS We have had quite a few requests during the past two or three weeks for informa- ___----tion-regearding the organization of softball at Terrace Bay. In the girls' end of things, it looks like at least two teams as House 16 has thrown out the challenge elsewhere in this issue of Terrace Bay News and the Dominion Catering girls expressed their intentions two or three weeks ago. In the men's division, Ontario Construction, Renown Construction and North American Buildings are talking of fielding teams and we've only seratched the surface. While a Terrace Bay all-star team may emerge, facilities are being provided for the purpose of developing a House League with as many teams as possible so that everyone who would like to play ball will be able to do so. In the meantime we wculd like to hear from
