The competing teams will be the Timmins Juniors and the Iroquois Falls team. The game will certainly be a very lively one, and not to be missed on any account by any of the hockey fans. _ Both teams are in <xcellent shape and a firstâ€"class battle is conâ€" fidently expected.

At midnight a very ‘t#ty lunch was served by Mrs. H. Plaunt and Mr. D. Brown, and this feature was up to the usual Ramblers Club standâ€" ards. After lunch Santa Claus appeared and distributed the prizes from the tree, some of these being very onmgiâ€" nal and useful, and all being much appreciated. There were the usual Club danees, a Paul Jones and a ladies‘ tag being very much enjoyed. The music, as usual, was of the very best. On Monday night the Ramblers Club held their annual Christmas tree in their club rooms in the Oddfellows‘ hall. It was jone of the happiest evenings yet held by the Club, and the attendance was large, about ninety members beinge present. _ The new Club lanterns drew very favourable comment, and special thanks are due to Mr. W.

OPENING TOâ€"DAY OF FINE NEW BOWLING ALLEYS Electing E. L. Longmore as Mayor, it should be a comparatively easy matâ€" ter to pick six good councillors from the list above. Indeed, leaving out one or two names it would be practiâ€" eally impossible to secure anything but a good ceouncil. The 1926 council is leaving the town alfairs in very undesirable condition, after a very unsatisfactory year. It needs a strong and able man of exâ€" perience and ability like Councillor Longmore at the head of affairs to put the town in firstâ€"class condition. â€" Acâ€" cordingly, it would appear to be the part of wisdom for all ratepayers to turn out on Monday and vote Longâ€" more for Mayor with a strong council to support him. fields Hotel block ; John Massie, manâ€" ager W.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30th, 1926 Councillors Longmore, Drew and Bacon strongly objected to the methâ€" od used in striking the rate, pointing out that the rate was immadequate and would leave a deficit, which is not a legal way of doing town hbusiness. The rate should be about ten~mills higcher to be legally proper. An adâ€" dition of $35,000.00 was being countâ€" ed as received, while there was no such amount on hand, and only a promise that an increase would be viven, without definite amount being stated. The town did not know what The town council met last night and foreed through a tax rate of 50 mills for public school supporters and 64.9 for separate school supporters. The rate struck. as outlined in the byâ€" law, was as follows:â€"General and debenture rate, 23.5 mills; local iumâ€" provement debentures, 2.1; Publhe School, 18.1; High School, 54; Pubâ€" lic Library, 9â€"10th mill;, Separate School, 33 mills.

Gauthier objected to the addition of the names claiming that many of them were not entitled to vote being insufâ€" ficiently assessed for income tax. â€" An adjournment of the Judge‘s ‘court of revision was made until this mornâ€" ing when the matter was again taken up. About fifty or sixty of the names were disallowed by the Judge, the balance being added to the list, and thus being eligible to vote at the elecâ€" tion on Monday.

Larmer was another particularly attractive feature of the services. Orchestral music added to the interest and effectiveness of the service, the violin playing of Master Jack ‘Neilsoq being especially appreâ€" ciated. %. As noted elsewhere in this issue there were seven nominated for pubâ€" lie school trustees. Only three of them qualified, dhowever. and these three being the number required for the vacancies on the board were acâ€" cordingly elected by accelamation.

Every citizen should take an active interest in his own businessâ€"the conducet of muniâ€" cipal affairs.

Neither was there provision made for the necessary refund of pol! tax when the regular taxes are pad; nor yet for any deficit on sechool rates. The bank overdraft was quoted at $392,â€" 000.00 with $5,000.00 to cover acâ€" counts payable. â€" The actual amount owing at the bank at the present time is $400,000.00, with a further loan of $25,000.00 arranged for. In view of these things, Councillors Longmore, Drew and Bacon asked to have the votes recorded, so that they might be protected. The Mayor and Councilâ€" lors Brennan, Joyal and Eplett voted for the byâ€"law striking the rate. Councillors Longmore, Drew and Baâ€" con voted against. thanks to the efficiency of the brigade, the prompt responses, and other good causes, there have been no serious hlazes. Monday evening there was a call from Box 51, but it was only a chimney blaze. Tuesday, there were three calls but the fires were either chimney or stoveâ€"pipes affairs and not dangerous. Only in one of them was there any damage done, and that not serious. This was the call at 6.30 p.m. Tuesday to Mr. Pat Seeley‘s. Some damage was done to the ceiling in one of the rooms before the fire was extinguished. ANOTHER SMALL POLICE COURT FOR THIS WEEK At the police court ths week there were few cases and only one of any importance. This latter was a charge of forgery against w young man who was accused of attaching his father‘s name to cheque. The young man pleaded guilty and will come up for sentence this afternoon. There were six ordinary drunks fined the usual each. Two vicious dogs were ordered destroyed. _ ; A general meeting of the St. Matâ€" thew‘s Social Club will be held on Tuesday evening, Jan. 4th, 1927, at 8 p.m., in the church basement. The chief business of the meeting will be the election of officers for the ensuâ€" ing term. _ After the busimess of the meeting there will be a social time spent, with refreshments served. All interested should make a special point of being present. This (Thursday) evening will see the first game in the Mines Hockey League. â€" It will be between the South Poreupine and the McelIntyre teams and will be staged at the Timmins Rink, with the puck faced off at 8.15 sharp. Both teams have shown elass and speed, and the game this evening will be well worth seeing. South Poreupine has made a reputaâ€" tion already this season, and Melnâ€" tyres are also no slouches at hockey, if anybody should ask. Indeed, it may be said that all the signs point to firstâ€"class hockey in the Mines Leaâ€" gue this season. Every hockey fan should be on hand for .tonight‘s game. Also, for the Hollinger match As usual, the Christmas Eve serâ€" vices at St. Anthony‘s R.C. chureh were very largely attended and greatâ€" ly appreciated. The musical part of the services was under the very able direction of Mr. J. B. Pare, and the singing for the oceasion was specially attractive and was greatly appreciatâ€" ed. Mass wias said by Rev.

This was the first Christmas held by the St. David‘s Welsh Society of Timmins, and was voted a huge success by all who attended. The 8t David‘s Welsh Society wishes to exâ€" press, through the medium of The Adâ€" vance, their appreciation to the Cov+â€" nish Club for their coâ€"operation in loaning the decorations, A very successful Christmas tree and dance was held at the Hollinger Recreation hall on Dec. 21st, under the auspices of the St. David‘s Welsh Society. Santa Claus. arrived in state, bells and aH, about 7.30 p.m.. and presented each Welsh member‘s child, numbering about thirty, with an appropriate gift. After Santa Claus took his leave the children were treated to a lunch, which, seemingly, was enjoyed very thoroughly. Daneâ€" ing was indulged in later in the evenâ€" ing, which was largely attended and enjoyed by all. During an interval, a tew leftâ€"over cakes were auctioned off by Mr., Jack Thomas, the presiâ€" dent, realizing the sum of $4.00, which was turned over to the Children‘s Aid Society. Thus it will be noted that the St. David‘s Welsh Society doubly reâ€" membered the children at Christmasâ€" time, not only thinking of their own, but of others less favoured by forâ€" tune. ST. DAVID‘S WELSH SOCIETY REMEMBERED THE CHILDREN Announcement is miade relative to a new time table for the ~P. N.0. Railway for the winter months.. The chief changes are the discontinuance of the Sunday service of Nos. 46 and 47 and the leaving earlier of No. 52. After Sunday, there will be no Sunâ€" day Toronto train. Nos. 46 and 47 being withdrawn on Sunday during the winter. This plan has been folâ€" lowed in other years. The people would like to see Nos. 46 and 47 tun Sundays, as on other days, all through the year, but evidently the T. N.O. does: not find this practicable. Nos. 46 and 47 will continue as usual on weekâ€"days, the service of these two trains now to be ‘daily, except Sunâ€" Af“' ,, IRAINS NO5. 46 AND 47 NOT TO RUN ON SUNDAYS Another _ change on the new time table is that No. 52 will leave at 9 a.m., instead of 10.20 as at present. NEWMARKET SENIORS AT SOUTH END ON SATURDAY NMew Winter Time Table Goes Into Effect on the T. N.O. on Sunâ€" day Next The Sunday train will leave here at 11. 30, instead of 11 a.m. A game that every hockey fan in the district should see will be played at South Poreupine‘s fine new rink on Saturday of this week, Jan. the: Newmarket Seniors playing aâ€" gainst the Southâ€" Poreupine team. The Newmarket team has a big reâ€" putation as one of the classiest teams in the south.
