The wonderful waterways and remarkable scenic beauty of the country surrounding Sioux Lookout rival those of Minaki. Vacationers and camping parties in ever increasing numbers are going to Sioux Lookout every Summer, where nearly everybody has a motor boat or canoe to traverse the wondrous stretches of waterways with their miles and miles of beautiful bays and fine sandy beaches. ========== _The Fur-ious Medicine Man_ By S. A. TAYLOR, Saskatchewan District THE Medicine Man--his wife was mad, He had done much to peeve 'er Ten minks he'd caught; their tails cut off, Just simply for to grieve 'er. And when for _bear_-ly half a day He'd strived hard to appease her, He said, "It's why I call 'er mine Just so as I can tease 'er." And if she don't improve her ways, Next time I come home then, In order to hear what she says, Again will I _mar_(r)_ten_. Ten of my very choicest _mink_, A spell I will cast o'er them; If that don't make her stop and think, I'll with my jack knife bore them. Next day whilst at the water hole His wife fell in the "wotter," He said this time I'll _fisher_ out Because I think I _o't ter_. As cunning as a _fox_ his wife Was bound she would get even. She thought, I cannot take his life Because of children seven. Next day she ran off in the bush She'd had too many drinks. They searched all night; to scare the wolves They carried flaming _links_. No doubt the _wolves_ of her made hash, For she was never found. His marriage to her he _mus_(t)_quash_ Her hubby would be bound. Her carcass you will never find He said; the wolves have got her So let's go home and never mind. He was an awful rotter. Now, motto for this pome there's none But for it there's a reason. Each verse contains some kind of _fur_ We hope to get this season. ========== ESPRIT DE CORPS _And Why it Builds Successful Companies_ By H. F. HARMAN, _Land Commissioner_ THE literal meaning of "Esprit de Corps" denotes the common spirit pervading the members of a body or association of persons. It implies sympathy, enthusiasm, devotion, and jealous regard for the honor of the organization as a whole. This French phrase was the unwritten but ever present motto or slogan which finally brought about the successful termination of the war for the Allies. Read slowly the interpretation of the phrase and you will realize its tremendous import when faithfully, persistently exercised. This is the spirit which, for the past 250 years, has animated so many loyal officials and servants of the "Governor and Company of Adventurers of England Trading into Hudson Bay." Let this generation see to it that we do not become indifferent to this very essential and necessary characteristic.
