The techniâ€" cal objections were automatically reâ€" moved at the time of the nominations to fill the place made vacant by Mr. Easton‘s resignation, and Mr. Easton, being nominated again, was reâ€"clected by acclamation, this being the only way he could get more votes than at the regular election, as on that occaâ€" sion he had headed the poll. Constable W. 8. Ackroyd arrived in Constable W. 8. Ackroyd arrived in Timmins ten years ago to take the place of Provincial Officer with headâ€" quarters at Timmins. Officer R. Alâ€" len, who had been in charge of the Timmins district for two years preâ€" viously, was transferred to South Poreupine. On Sunday, Jan. 1l14th, 1917, Miss Laura Hughes, daughter of Dr. James L. Hughes, of Toronto, and niece of Sir Sam Hughes, spoe to a crowded house at the New Empire theatre, Timmins, the meeting being under the auspices of the Miners‘ Union. Miss Hughes spoke on labour and its proâ€" blems. **Workers are the most patâ€" riotic of all,""‘ she said, ‘‘ because they give service.‘‘ She considered that the present economic conditions could be improved, but that everybody was on Yrars vears ago there Jan. 14th, 1917, Miss daughter of Dr. James Toronto, and niece of es, spoe ‘to a crowded New Empire theatre, eetino being under the re s some techâ€" w election of Mr. ouncillor for the ipr any injustice or inequalâ€" igsht be. To quote from the meeting as given in The Advan®g, ‘‘Miss Hughes told an amusing stor®wto offset the suggesâ€" tion that the workars were not intelliâ€" gsent enough to sit in parliament. After 1911, she said she had expected to be awed by the brilliance of the parliamentarians gathered at a big social function in Ottawa. But, inâ€" stead, she found them rather dull. One man could not even talk about his own province. At last she attempted to sympathize with him because he lived in such a small town when he was at home. Then he gave her the longest answer of the evening. **Well,""‘ he said, ‘‘A man can live almost anyâ€" where if he has his woman with him.‘‘ The address of Miss Hughes was lisâ€" tened to with the deepest interest and appreciation, the big crowd reâ€" peatedly breaking into rounds of apâ€" plause. The President of the Miners‘ Union, Mr. W. DeFeu, capably preâ€" sided at the meeting. to blame ity there the report In 1917 around this time of year the town council was talking about taking legal action to recover a month‘s salary paid in advance to Fire Chief Dey, who had left without completing the month‘s service and without giving proper notice. Un seâ€" cond thought, however, the town counâ€" cil decided that it would cost more than the matter warranted, and so it was decided not to collect by legal process. Another new fire chief was selected, Mr. Ernest Drury, fire chief at Haileybury, being selected for the place. M‘r. Art. King was to act as fire chief at Timmins until such time as Mr. Drury could give the proper notice to Haileybury and arrange to come here. Later in the year it deâ€" veloped that Fire Chief Drury was going to remain at Haileybury, and so another man was sought for the imâ€" portant place here. Eventually, the choice again fell upon Fire Chief Borâ€" land, of Cobalt, as will be noted by future issues of The Advance. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Among the local and personal items in The Advance of January 17th, 1917, were the following:â€"‘‘Mr. P.

Some weeks ago some of the daily newspapers made reference to the novelty of writing headings for news articles in rhyme. The Advance tried this novelty years ago. One article ten years ago is headed :â€"‘‘Many things to Mend, Over at South End. Are Taxes Still Too High? Do Thermometers Ever Lie? â€" Miss Laura Hughes. Somme Battle News." The Advance ten years ago pubâ€" lished a letter from Pte A. P. Dooley, 159th Battalion, to Mr. (Geo. Preston, Timmins. In the letter ‘‘Andy"" said â€""I have met a few of the Poreupine boys since I arrived here, and one of them was Billie White. He had just come out from France, and was lookâ€" ing good. He is with Scotty Gardiâ€" ner, and says that Seotty is well. I also saw Jack Munro, but was not talking to him. I had a card from Dave Maxwell in France. I don‘t know how he heard I was over here, but he is well. I met Fred Guthron that used to be policeman in Golden City a few years ago. I have two cousins in an hospital about forty miles from here but I can‘t get away to see them. Well, I hope you have seen the good war news in the papers by this time. Of course they exagâ€" gerate a little, but I think by this time next year we will have peace, and it will be a blessing, for this is a terrible, wicked war. _ We have plenty of green grass and flowers in bloom in England yet, but the weather is very wet.

From the report of the town counâ€" cil meeting of Jan. 15th, 1917, the folâ€" lowing may be of more than passing interest:â€"‘‘*Mr, Len Newton addressâ€" ed the council on behalf of a number of citizens of the town who are inâ€" terested in securing adequate general hospital accommodation. He said he was not finding fault with the preâ€" sent hospital service, but something on a more inclusive seale was badly needed. _ While employees of the mines received good hospital treatâ€" ment, there was no accommodation for the women and children or for the general citizens of the camp. _ He asked the moral support of the counâ€" cil, and the citizens of the camp, in a plan that might have some merit. Briefly, the idea was that a new hospital should be established to care for the needs of the whole district and everybody in the district needing‘ such treatment.. The plan including the securing of legislation to allow the. mines employees to pay direct to the hospital board, which should be a responsible body repreâ€" sentative of all interests concerned. The general public could also contriâ€" bute by means of a monthly memberâ€" ship ticket plan. Mr. Newton outâ€" lined the great need for such an inâ€" stitution and its benefits to the camp, pointing out that one big hospital was easier to support than a number of small ones.‘‘ At the time the plan was considered too expensive to take GENERAL SUPPORT FOR _ COMPLETION OF Highway Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade Endorse Mr. Woodâ€" bury‘s Suggestion Some weeks ago The Advance pubâ€" lished letters written by Mr. Vincent Woodbury, of, Timmins, relative to the need for more speed in connection with the construction of the North Land Highway. Mr. Woodbury also took the question up with the Northâ€" ern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, and received the hearty apâ€" proval and support of the Associated Boards. In fact, from all sides there comes commendation of the idea that the construction of the highway should be speeded up and the work finished at the earliest possible time. zsoing to Toronto Monday night and arrangements have been made for a special interview â€" with the Governâ€" ment, at which time this road question will be taken up, along with other 1imâ€" portant matters. It is hoped thatea creat deal of good will come from this interview, and you may feel assured that the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade will do everything within their power to expedite the completion of the highway to North The following is the reply received L > ¢ » «e by *‘Mr. Woodbury from the Northern Ontario Associated Boards :â€" Iroquois Falls, Jan. l1ith, 1927. Dear Siriâ€"I have your favour of the 8th. Also the enclosed , corresâ€" pondence. The situation is well covâ€" ered in the article in The Advance, but I might add that a delegation of between twentyâ€"five and thirtyâ€"five reâ€" presentatives of Northern Ontario are Day. I might also add that the lroquou Falls Motor Club (affiliated with the Ontario Motor League) is also workâ€" ing along the same lines, and it is hopod that with the promlsed support of the Ontario Motor League with its 35,000 members a good deal of addiâ€" tional influence can be brought to bear to expedite this work. I unâ€" derstand that so far there is no branch of the Ontario Motor League organized in Timmins. Surely i6 would be a very easy matter to form a club, in view of the excellent work done by this organization and the many benefits of membership. _ If you are able to form a club you will then be in a position to render more efficient coâ€"operation on road. work than can possibly be accomplished by individuals. WThe writer happens to be secretary of the local Motor Club also, and if there is anything I can do to ascust you in forming an organizaâ€" tion similar to ours pleaso advise.
