Absolutely
nothing to do with curling…
The Canadian officials in the Ottawa Finance Department
admitted that the picture on the face of the new Canadian four-dollar bill is
that of the American “Soo” lock. The Finance
Department sent a request to Montreal for a picture of the Canadian lock at the
Sault. In reply they received a picture
of the American lock and used it. The
officials say they were misled by noticing the Canadian Pacific steamer Athabasca in the lock and assumed in consequence that the picture
was all right. The department of
railways and canals was not consulted in the matter.
Good Curling,

BTW – Does anyone know of another word for
Thesaurus?
