AIRSHIP LIKELY TO ViSHT, * â€"TIMMINS THIS SUMMER The Special Programme at the Rink on Monday night, under the auspices of the Timmins Football Club was an enjoyable event in every way, except that the crowd was limited. This latâ€" ter fact was due to the short"*time of preparation available and the conseâ€" quent brief period for advertising the event. _ It is understood, however, that the Football Club will about break even on the evening. It was very fine feature as anâ€" evenings pleasure. ) The pick of the Juveniles defeated the Junior team in a lively match that was watched with keen interest. There was a very laughable burlesque hockey match, with other special novelties. _ Skating was enâ€" joyed, and the event concluded with a pleasant Moceasin Dance that was much enjoyed. There was special apâ€" préewation expressed for the excellent musi¢ furnished by Wolno‘s ()rches-l tra for the oceasion. Those attending the event speak highly of the Rmk fld the Foo®@ball Club in this pleasâ€" ing b\emng of enjoyment. ®Five hundred weekly newspapers in Canada are combining for a ** Madeâ€"inâ€"Canada‘‘ and ‘*Buy in Your Home Town‘‘ Week for the week beginning March 30th. The The plane used by the Northern Air Service can carry a thousand pounds of freight, or five passengers and their luggage. The fares for trips in the airship are to be reduced this year, so one big objection to the service will be lessened. â€" With liberal patronage the Northern Air Service believes that a comparatively low rate for freight and passengers will pa; well on the volume of business. spects in the whole area prumlse a blg' volume of business for the airâ€" ship line this year. Crowd Not as Large as Would Have Been With More Time for Advertising. Service has shown how useful and practical the airship may be in this North Land. f ENJOVABLE PROGRAMME AT ThE RINK ON MONDAY Capt. Broatch this week said it was very likely that visits woul be paid to Timmins and the Poreupine this summer. â€" Jn ths way people here would have opportunity to see the full value of the air service. During the war and after The Advance reâ€" peatedly pointed out the advantages of airships for travel and transportaâ€" tion in this North Land with its imâ€" mense distances. The Northern Air Service is going to prove further the practicability of the airship in comâ€" mercial way in this section of the North. Already, the Laurentide Air Capt. B. N. Broatch, who with Mr. D. Brldgn, ot Schumacher, has organâ€" ized the Northern Air Service, with headquarters at Haileybury, was a visitor to Timmins and Schumacher during the past few days. _ Capt. Broatch, who had a fine record in the Air Service hboth on overseas and local service, was formerly with the Laurentide Air Service and has had very wide experience in both war and gommercial air work. Mr. Briden also served overseas in the Royal Air Force with credit to himself and this disâ€" trict. In the Northern Air Service they should make a fine team. _ They expect to open the service about the middle of May. â€" At first they will have onfly one plane, but a second one will be added if the demand for the service requires it. They believe that it will be only a few weeks after the service opens before the second plane will be required. The service will be from Haileybury to Rouyn and other points in the district. There is conâ€" siderable prospecting in many areas of the North and it is expected that the plane service will be in considerâ€" able demand. The big advantage of the air service is seen in the fact that the trip from Haileybury to Rouyn is made by plane in one hour. The land and water route otherwise use(l takes up three days.

He is survived by a widow, formerly Miss Theresa Murphy, of Barrie, to whom will be given the very deepest sympathy of all. The late Mr. Carâ€" penter was highly esteemed by all who knew him and his sad death is very sincerely regretted by wide eirâ€" cles of friends and acqaintances. SAD DEATH LAST WEEK OF. ERNEST CARPENTER was a good crowd in attendance and all were pleased with the good work of the Chorus and the other numbers on the programme. it was one of the finest pieces of chorus singing heard here. While the theatre was not filled to capacity, as the event deserved, there was a good crowd in attendance and and gracelul way, Although reference to the choruses given by the Male Chorus is left to the last, these number were leaders on a good programme. _ The selections rendered were :â€"‘‘Hymn Before Acâ€" fion‘‘;: ‘‘L‘m. aâ€"longin‘, for Youn‘‘ ; ‘*Border Ballad‘‘; ‘*Mother O‘ Mine‘‘; ‘‘Rolling Down to Rio‘"‘; ‘‘‘The Beleaguered‘‘; ‘‘Killarney‘‘; and ‘‘The Lost Chord,‘‘ All these were very effectively given and reâ€" flect the greatest eredit on the Chorus, the leader, Mr. G. Hale, and all others concerned. Mr. R. R. Johnâ€" ston, formerly leader of the Chorus, rendered very talented assistance as rnccompanist for the occeasion. _ The singing of the Male Chorus pleased all, each number being well given, but the audience was specially pleased with the rendition of **Killarnev." The dancing numbers on the proâ€" gramme made a variety that specially pleased the audience. The appearâ€" ence of the graceful little Misses Helen Chisholm, Margaret Easton, Margaret Geils and May Moore, started the audience into enthusiastic applause, and the little girls were given very hearty encore. Miss May Moore, in a very clever interpretaâ€" tion of a toe dance number, was also very enthusiastically recalled, this dance being given in very effective and graceful wav. Mr. J. E. Garrett gave an effective rendition of ‘‘For All Eternity‘‘ In lighter vein, Mr. H. Unsworth, in special costume, made a decided hit with a clever rendition of **Dapper Dan,""‘ this humorous solo being roundly encored. There were two Male Quartettes rendering pleasing selections in effective way and winâ€" ning deserved recalls. _ Messrs Jenâ€" kin, I. Lainsbury, W. Forrester and J. E. Garrett formed one Quartette, and Messrs G. Hale, J. R,. Dodge, J. Skelly and J. K. Moore, the other. The latter in Southern melodies were particularly pleasing. The Musical Festival, given in the (ioldfields Theatre last night by the Timmins Male Chorus, under the ausâ€" pices of the Timmins Kiwanis Club, proved of more than passing interest and excellence. _ Specially outstandâ€" ing was the talented singing of Mr, W. Pyper, whose rendition of *A Dream‘"‘ was a number that delighted the audience particularly. _ Mr. R. Smith‘s fine baritone voice and his spirited rendition of ‘‘Revenge,""‘ was another very special number that won very merited encore. The Quartette from the Timmins Citizens‘ Bandâ€" Messrs Wolno, MeCulloch, AÂ¥. Papâ€" pone and W. Philipsâ€"â€"was another item that won special favour and apâ€" preciation for an instrumental quarâ€" tetite of more than usual merit. Mrs. H. Barrett‘s fine voice and sympathâ€" etic rendition of ‘*‘There‘s a Land,"‘ brought a hearty encore and her numâ€" ber in response was equally appreciated Mrs. J. Theriault‘s gifted singing of the classic number, ‘*One Fine Day,"‘ won â€" warm â€" appreciation from the musicâ€" ](')\'ers‘, and Mrs. Theriault‘s fine voice was heard in response in a solo in French.. Mr. Ross played the accompaniments for Mrs, Theriault. : EVENT BY MALE CHORUS xcellent Programme at Goldfields Theatre Last Night. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25th, 1925 Burwash Industrial Farm â€" is crowded to capacity at present, and a request was made Jast week that Sudbury District Jail retain prisoners there for a few days until the overâ€" crowding at Burwash was relieved. Many at Burwash are there simply as vagrants, and so if womk cpened up again that might give the instituâ€" tion relief. Maybe 4.4 beer may also help. Amid the general regret at the closâ€" ing of the Rink for the season, there will aso be a general tendency to conâ€" gratulate Mr. A. Cadman who was in charge at the Rink for the capable way in which the Rink has been conâ€" ducted and the good service given. Band nights have been particularly popular, and the whole season a good one for skaters. The Timmins Rink is now closed after a pleasing season. _ This year the public, as in years past, have had the best of skating and accommodaâ€" tion at the Rink. So happy have been the skating hours that the are many now to regret that the season is over,. Hockey matches, several very pleasâ€" ing carnivals, and other features, have added to the interest at the Rink. People Have Had Pleasing Season of Skating, Etce. Messrs John Massie and J. N. Leâ€" vine were present to ask the Council to amend the Dog Tax byâ€"law so as to give Kennel licenses for breeders of pedigreed dogs. . Most towns and all cities have such a Kennel License, as it is felt that breeding thoroughâ€" bred dogs is an industry worthy of encouragement. _ Council decided to have a special kennel tax of $10.00 to cover all pedigreed dogs. To secure the benefit of this provision dog ‘owâ€" ners must produce registration papers from the recognized breeders‘ assocâ€" iations. _ During the discussion the question was asked if the provision would apply to dog teams. If they are all pedigréed and registered in the ordinary way it will apply. Most if the dog teams, however, could not qualify on account of mixed breeds. RINK GLOSED AFTER SUGGESGFUL SFASUN A letter was read from Mrs. Mofâ€" fat, suggesting a grant from the Town to assist in the keeping up of the Cairns Hospital. Mrs. Moffat‘s letâ€" ter pointed out the difficulties of conâ€" ducting an hospital here. There were many patients who did not pay, the number coming in from unorganized territory adding much to this burden. It was practically impossible to conâ€" duct the hospital without a deficit and until the town had a general public hospital Mrs. Moffat thought it only fair that the Cairns Hospital should be assisted. Council took no action in the matter. The byâ€"law raising the Jitney liâ€" cense fee from $50.00 to $100,00, was formally passed. ingineer. "lhe total cost of the roadâ€" way was estimated at $17,190.00, and the necessary storm sewers at $12,625, 00, making a total cost of $29,815.00 Engineer Murdock pointed out that on account of the several street interâ€" sections necessary, 75 per cent of the total cost would be appartioned to the municipality and 25 per cent. against the properties. The question was left to a later meeting for discussion. The regular meeting of the Town Council was held on Monday with Councillors E. L. Longmore, J. H. Bacon, F. M. Wallingford, H. Charleâ€" bois, J. Morrison and G. S. Drew preâ€" sent. In the absence of the Mayor, Councillor Drew was voted to the chair to preside.

After Investigation ’ horses to maintain. â€"Councillor Drew thought it wou‘d have been good policy to have purchased the equipâ€" ment suggested last year, but failing this he thought that in the meantime the need could be filled in with an equipment to cost around $5,000.00. It would save the expense of two exâ€" tra firemen, of an extra team of horses and feed,. ete. â€" Councilior Wallingford did not think the purâ€" chase should be limited to a hard and fast dlimit like $5,000,00, and did not believe that a pumper was very necesâ€" sary on the truck. Councillor Drew made a motion that a committee to include the Fire Light Committee, the Fire Chief and the Town Engineer be authorized to purchase a motor fire truck not to exceed $5,000.00. _ The whole question had been discussed at the greatest length at a previous meeting. Councillor _ Wallingford had not been at this meeting, howâ€" ever, and in deference to Councillor Wallingford, Councillor Drew withâ€" drew the motion altogether, the sugâ€" gestion of Councillor Wallingford beâ€" ing adopted, that the Committee named consider the matter and report to the meeting of Council on April 1 l Mr. Levine gave the Council interestâ€" ing information that * Huskies‘‘ are a regular recognized breed, and are reâ€" cognized and registered by the assocâ€" iations in the usual way. Mr. Essa, merchant, Third Avenue; complained to the Council about the motor‘ cars parking by the solid hour before his store detracting the view to his window and otherwise hurting his business. ‘Timmins was now a city, he said, and should have a byâ€" ‘aw fombiding parking on the main streets for more than 20 minutes at a time. When Mr. Essa went into details as to how parking lost him business, the Mayor gave wise advice. ‘*Advertise,‘‘ he said, ‘‘and the people will ‘by motor cars or anything else to get to your store." It was pointed out that when a byâ€"law such as ‘Mr. Essa desired was proposed last year it was the merchants themâ€" selves who ‘had ()ppused it. As the trowble in Mr. Essa‘s case was caused by a particuwlar pair of cars the Mayor thought the difficulty could ‘be adâ€" justed by cailling the attention of the carâ€"owners to the matter. Thursday last there was a very enâ€" joyable dance in the Ukranian Hall under the 8. V. E. Club. The atâ€" tendance was large and all had a pleasant time. Pagliari‘a orchestra furmished the best of music. # DEATH AND DESTRUCTION FROM TORNADO IN STATES. A letter was received from. Mr Ballytime Smith regarding a Special Day at the Experimental Farm, like ly to ‘be held on August. 7th. Mr. Smith said there would be special speakers on farm topics, and ‘he adâ€" vised that the Day be made along Picnie lines. The Board thought the occasion would give a fine chance for many to visit the Kapuskasging area and thus get asquainted with an imâ€" portant, though too little known secâ€" tion of this North.. The secretary was asked to write Mr. Smith offering the fullest coâ€"operation and support. A resolution was passed suggesting that the North Land ‘be exempt from the proposed gasoline tax. _ On acâ€" count of the poor roads hereabouts and the other handicaps regarding the use of motor cars, it was felt that this district should not have it line taxed further. Afteny a general talk on man tions the Board adjourned to 1 gain at the ca‘l of the Preside A resolution was passed asking that the Better Live Stock Car soon to visit the Nomth should spend a few hours at least in Timmins. The resolution endorsed a similar resolution passed by the Porempine Poultmyy and Pet Stock â€" Association. It indicated the numlber of settlers in this district and the large number of poultry fanciers, all of whom wou‘ld be interested in the Better Live Stock »Car, its exhibits and the lectures civen. WLT, Mac Lang, M.LPILP. The Dominion Government is again to be urged to give the most careful consideration to the need of a Governâ€" ment post office in Timmins. A numuer of questions of amportâ€" ance were discussed at length. There was a general discussion on the great need for roads for the settlers. The neglect of Mountjoy in this regand was commented upon. 1Mr. Langdon suggested that if Mountjoy organized the people might receive more attenâ€" tion trom the Government, being then in better position to press for roads and other necessities, Mn Chas. Pierce gave an interesting little adâ€" dress on the building of the highway from North Bay. The road passed near Jns timber limits. The seenery was magnificent, there was ifish and game in abundance, and other attracâ€" tions in the country lbeing opened by the highway. He believed the road wou‘ld_be of great value to ‘the North. The opinion of the meeting was that while the highway was a fine asset, roads for the settlers were also imperâ€" ative. A motion was passed unanâ€" imously urging ‘the Government to make an early start this spring on roadâ€"work, and again emphasizing the necessary Jlocal roads required _ so urgently in this district. :A copy of this and other resolutions going to the Ontario: Government is to ibe sent to Mr. Mac Lang, M.PP. roads for the settlers were also imperâ€" ative.
