Programmes have been printed for tkis event that has made Timmins justly famous, and these programmes explain the purposes of the event as well as the glomes of its entertainâ€" ment and its prizes. Fourth Annnal Turkey Stag In St. Anthony‘s Hall, Friday The object of the event is to raise funds for the purchase of food for donation in the form of Christuas baskets to the needy and the destitute of the district. In making distribuâ€" tion nothing is considered except the need,â€" there is no thought of race or colour or creed or cause of cireumâ€" stances. Just if you need it, that‘s all! Last year 93 families were proâ€" vided for. _ â€"Half of these were des.â€" tute cases and the other half aeedy ones. The distinetion between destiâ€" tute and needy cases is set out in the programme:â€"a destitute case is e»ne where there is no provision for the bare necessities of life; a needy case is one where conditions were such that white the bare necessities of life were availâ€" able, there was not enough monsy in the family to provide the little extra to make the Christmas meal any betâ€" ter than the ordinary meal. Mll needy cases were given a C‘lll'istlllzlsl dinner. All destitute cases received. food to last them two weeks, so that they could start the New Year with renewed hope, instead of starved desâ€" pair. All names on the lists held by the Town of Timmins, Ladies of Charity, Salvation Army, and other organized charities, were looked after. In addition a Christmas turkey was sent to every clergyman of every deâ€" nomination in the whole Poreupine. Turkeys were sent to the hospitals. Everybody was looked after. _ Over 450 individual lives were brightened by this plan. Was it a glorious sucâ€" cess last year. We‘ll tell the whiskered world it was! â€" And this year?
