Twentyâ€"five million people who travel ‘in automobiles live within a twentyâ€"fourâ€"hour ride of the boundary of the provinceâ€"and from the returns of ears entering Ontario in the past three years it is evident that some hundreds of thousands already know the way. of Lours and Sixes week gave a vivid portrayal of condiâ€" tion in that Northern town under the O. T. A. In one article details were contained of bootlegging charges aired in court, liquor stolen and public school pupils wending their way along the street intoxicated. The last overâ€" shadows completely the other two for, while the public has more or less acâ€" cepted bootleggers and thefts of 11â€" quor as things which go hand in hand with a prohibition law, the sight of children of public school age, carryâ€" ing a flask and in an intoxicated conâ€" dition will never fail to produce a feeling of horror and foreboding in the minds of people who have the inâ€" terests of their country at stake. ‘‘While it is only rarely that reâ€" ports are received of liquor traffie carâ€" ried on with children of tender years Elk Lake is not by any means unique in this regard. _ Only a few months ago despatches from the North told of similar conditions in other towns. In this case children had stolen the liquor, had. turned bootleggers and the «citizens of the town were forced to witness the spectacle of children of the public school age intoxicated. During the years that it has been on the statute books of the province of Ontario successive governments have tried in vain to enforce the Ontario Temperance Act. It has had the etâ€" fect of puttipg prohibition in the homes of the class of citizens who will respect the laws of the country, no matter how much out of sympathy they are with those laws, but it was not for those people that a prohibition. law was designed. It is doubtful if any appreciable percentage of those for whom the framers of the act inâ€" tended it have been aided. It is also certain that a large percentage of the blame for the happenings such as those reported from Elk Lake can be laid to the 0. T. A. The time for a change has come. If the O. T. A. cannot be enforced without entailing such an expenditure as would force the Province into near bankruptey, some other system will have to be put into effect."‘ } ‘‘Despatches from Elk Lake last \ hold this flash. It is said that one of our night watchman while making his rounds came across a young couple in a secluded coner gazing innocently at the stars. He flashed his light on them and the young man looked very flustered and embarrassed. ‘‘Well"‘ said the watchman, sternly, ‘‘are ye not goin‘ to kiss her?"‘‘ ‘*‘Nâ€"no,‘‘ stammered the youth. ‘""A‘ right,‘‘ quickly replied the watchman, ‘‘come out 0‘ that an‘ BELIEVES THE TEMPERANCE ACT SHOULD BE REPEALED. In an editorial article last week The North Bay Nugget says:â€" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO. Ontario Another notea speaker here ten years ago was Sergeant Weyman, Socialist orator. He showed how vicâ€" tory for the Germans meant the end of free speech and so the end of Soâ€" cialism. He urged every Socialist to join up with Britain, the empire that ever had been the fairest and freest. Mr. Summerhayes presided at the meeting, and the other speakers inâ€" cluded Mr. Dowler, Rev. Mr. Allen, Capt. Pierey and Sergt. Thomas. (On May 23rd, 1916, fire started: in the Iroquois Hotel at South Poreuâ€" pine and jumped. to Bucovetsky‘s store. Both buildings were badly damaged, the total loss being estimatâ€" ed at $8,500.00. _ The hotel was owned by Mr. Sylvester Kennedy. _ Colonel Mulloy, the noted South African veteran who lost his eyesight in that war, was a visitor to Timmins in May, 1916. He delivered an adâ€" dress of striking eloquence and power. ‘"Peace,"‘‘ he said *‘ brought material prosperity and luxury, and war, like the surgeon‘s knife removes the ganâ€" grene brought on by the ill effects of peace."‘ ‘*Our only right to Canada lies in our ability to fight and hold it, and this had proved true of every empire since the days of Ninevah,"" he said. Rev. Mr. Allen acted as chairman, and Ltâ€"Col. MeKee, Capt. Colville, Lieut. Crane, Dr. Melunis and others spoke. Solos were given by ‘Mr. Geils and Mrs. MeCarthy. 4 s s tA $ Urara Aoo in Cimmins : )# Frorr pata in THE PorcorINn® ADvaANCE FYLES : Sn in ate oi ols 30 2s +0 e3 on To ats e 30 12048 «h t en The Melntyre Poreupine Mine reâ€" MONARCH The following were in the South Poreupine items of interest in The Poreupine Advance of May 24th, 1916 Sheridan of the Dome store drove to Timmins on Sunday last, Heâ€" is to be complimented on his smart driving outfit.‘‘ Turnay of the 159th is relieving Lieut.

It will be recalled that, some time ago, the Company. was notified that after May 15th, the powerâ€"producers would change from 60â€"cycle energy to 25â€" cycle. This meant a complete change in Night Hawk‘s milling equipment, and at such a prohibitive cost that the mine would probably have been foreed to shut down. Now, the Power Company announces that it will deliver 60â€"cyele power for the life of the Poreupine mines holding contracts with it. It is said, however, that Night Hawk Peninsular is in need of funds for the prosecution of further development and, now that the latest turn in affairs has ‘been favorable, arrangements to supply the necessary funds will probably be more suitably completed."‘‘ Again, it may be noted that any subseriptions to the fund for the establishment of the V.O.N. here may be forwarded to the Treasurer, Mr. Ed. Richards, 72 Sixth avenue, or P. 0. Boxâ€" 692, Timmins. Ten years ago there was a strike at Kapuskasing Internment Camp, when sixty Austrans refused. to do any work. . Four of the prisoners were slightly wounded in an endeaâ€" vyour to raise trouble, The trouble was soon settled and the Austrian strike fizzled out. NIGHT HAWK PENINSULAR > CONTINUING OPERATIONS The Market Despatch, issued by Arthur E. Moysey Co., keeps in close touch with all the ‘‘inner workâ€" ings‘‘ of the mining industry. In its last issue The Despatch says :â€" A note in The Advance ten years ago says that Harold and George Mecâ€" Namara, the ‘‘dynamite twins,"‘ had enlisted in the 228th Battalian, along with five other prominent young men in sports in the North. Victoria Day, 1916, was observed at South Poreupine with a day of sports, football and baseball being featured. On May 18th, 1916, a progressive euchre party was given by Mr. J. R. Gordon and his staff in the main ofâ€" fice, in honour of three of the staff of the Timmins J. R. Gordon store who had enlisted for overseas service, Messrs Jas. Ralph, Henry Giroux and Leonard Charron. Presentation of a wrist watch was made to each of the three enlisted men..

MATTHEW‘S SOCIAL CLUB CLOSING FOR THE SUMMER GENTRE FORWARD DN VIITING FOOTBALL THAM WILLIAM ERNEST RAWLINGS (centre forwardâ€"It is just as well to remember that Rawlings, of Southâ€" ampton, would have â€"been one of the finest centres in his day had he been constantly associated with a forward line where he could have been adequâ€" ately supported. He is, however, a Hampshire man and loves its pleasâ€" ant pastures. Born at Andover, for which team he first played, he identiâ€" fied himself with the Southampton Club at the latter end of 1918. Of course he served in the war, being in the 2â€"3rd Wessex Field Ambulance with the 8th, Division. He can sport on his breast the 1914 Star. In France he won three medals in Army football and was just the type of man Southampton were looking forâ€"being 5 ft. 10 ins. and 164 lbs. Fast and a sure shot, he plies his wings with the ball and is a good combinaâ€" tion footballer. Always a_ steady scorer, .his best season was 10921â€"22 when he shot 29 goals and was the main factor in lifting his club from the Third to the Second Division. In that season he had the honor of playâ€" ing for England against Wales and Scotland. During the current campâ€" he completed 100 goals in the postâ€"war league matches ‘only. He is just the kind of player to seore freely during this tour in Canada.
