When the Red Cross Canteen Corps

a great success, and could be seen

Canadian Sports Are
Similar to Those
OF United States
BY MARJORIE HOLDEN, Is,
Powell Junior High School.

Did you know that Canadian
sports are very much like those we
have in the United States?
Take tennis, for example. The
Americans, to be sure, play we'll.
But the Canadians also play fast,
sure game.
Ice hockey is the national game.
as one who knows the Canadian
winter and the ice would surmise.
Canadians born among the snow
and ice are experts on skates.
Lacrosse was supposedly brought
from England. But imagine my
surprise when I looked it up and
found that it originated with the
Cherokee Indians of North America.
The Indians use crude nets with
which they catch "bird"-some-
thing like the bird you use in bad
minton. They throw the bird across
to their partners, who catch it and
relay it to the others. The last man
throws it across the goal.
Swimming is popular sport, since
there is such an abundance of lakes
and rivers. Canadian boys and girls
have the same kind of swimming
contests as are popular with their
southern neighbors.
Perhaps trip to Canada would
seem much like visit to another
of our own States, for we would like
ly be much at home with their sports
and would fit right into a baseball
or football team there. just as we
would in our own country.
So why shouldn't we be good
friends?

the Gulf of Mexico. He was now
fired with the idea of gaining the
rich lands of the Mississippi valley
for France. His plan was to build
forts along the st. Lawrence, the
Great Lakes and the Mississippi,
and to start colony at the mouth
of the Mississippi.
With that idea in mind he re.
turned to France and secured the
kings approval Of his plans. Com
ing back to Canada, he at once ar
ranged to build q new vessel, the
Griffin, to sail the Great Lakes to
the west. This boat he launched
on the Niagara River, a short dis
lance above the falls, and set sail
on Lake Erie for the west.
Loaded With Furs.
A month later La Sale and his
party had reached Green Bay, on
the western side of Lake Michigan.
At this point the Griffin was loaded
with furs obtained through trade
with the Indians. The ship then
started back to the settlement on
the Niagara River, but it was never
heard from again.
La Sale, with a small group of
men, set out for the Illinois River.
On this journey he met with many
difficulties. Twice he was obliged
to travel back through the wilder
ness to his base of supplies on the
st. Lawrence; for weeks he searched
for a group of his men before he
found them; a fort which he built
near the present city of Peoria, ILL.,,
was destroyed by Indians. At last
the hardy band reached the Mis-
sissippi River, three years after
starting on their venture. Day after
day they f1oated down the great
river until they finally reached the
Gulf of Mexico.
After landing, La Sale raised a
cross and took possession of the
country he had explored for France.
In honor of the king he named it
Louisiana. The ceremony was COM
pleted by burying near the cross a
leaden plate bearing the arms Of
France.
Upon later trip La Sale brought
party of several hundred persons
from France to the Gulf of Mexico,

Can You Put Your
Head Through Hole
aPOSfcard?

An elephant can't climb through
the eye of a needle. And neither,
you will say, can boy put his head
through hole in a postcard. But,
as a matter of fact, he can, If he
knows the trick.
1t is better to take a piece of
heavy paper. such as writing paper,
than an actual postcard, for the
paper is easier to twist after the
cuts have been made. Cut your
paper the size of the card, then,
following the lines in the diagram
above, draw with a pencil two circles,
ending them in the center with a
short space between.
After you have cut on your lines,
you will discover that your paper
has extended itself into circle COM
posed Of an inch-wide strip. 1t will
easily pass over your head, like a
necklace. Try 1t!
