Tlmmms Golf Club Decide )/ to Secure a Professional A letter from the Northern Ontario (tolf Association was read making the "immins Club to appoint their repreâ€" sentw:ive to the Association. Mr. J. The next order of business was the election of the directors for 1827. The directors for 1926 were reâ€"elected. These are Messrs A. F. Brigham, R. J. Ennis, J. Knox, C. G. Williams and Dr. H. H. Moore. . The election of a captain and viceâ€"captain was the next order of business, V. H. Emery, viceâ€" eaptain for 1926 was the choice of the meeting for captain in 1927, and Mr. J. W. Wray was elected viceâ€"captain. The question of the membeship. for 1927 was next taken up, and after some discussion it was decided that the membership remain the same as last year, 135 members, 80 lady memâ€" bers and a number of junior members The fees for 1927 will be the same as last year, $35.00 for members, and $12.50 for lady members of the Club. This was the unanimous opinion of the meeting. _ Locker rental will be *2. 00. The question as to whether the Timâ€" mins Golf Club retain their memberâ€" ship in the Ontario Amateur Golf Asâ€" sociation was introduced, and the meeting went in favour unanimously of retaining this membership. It was also decided to retain membership in the Canadian Ladies‘ Golf Union. Pot Shots at Wild Birds Cost at Rate of $25.00 per Bird With Costs FINED $75 AND COSTS sHOOTING THREE GEESE The annual meeting of the Timmins (iolf Club Limited was held on Wedâ€" nesday evening, the sitting room of the Timmins Curiing Club being used for the event. _ There was not as large an attendance as in previous years, but the meeting could be called quite representative of the memberâ€" ship of the Club. The meeting was called sharp at cight o‘clock, the president Mr. A. F. Brigham occupying the chair. _ The seeretary, Mr. W. L. Hogarth presentâ€" ed the financial report for 1926, showâ€" ing a credit balance of $701.25 in the bank. The report was adopted. At the same court six drunks were fined $10 and costs each. Vladik Kremer, on a charge of vagrancy, was fined $50.00 and costs or three months. He will likely take the three months. Omer Groulx was fined $25.00 and costs for each of three wild geese he shot. â€" Provincial Officer Finger has been keeping an eye on the flocks of birds passing â€"through here the past few days, with a view to seeing that they are properly protected. The birds are so tame that it does not appear to be anything like good sport to shoot them. It would be about as mueh satisfaction to go out to a farm vyard and slaughter the poultry there. Provincial Officer Finger found that Groulx was breaking the rule of sport and the law protecting the birds in their spring passage north, and laid information against him accordingly. A fine of $25.00 for each bird was imâ€" posed, making $75.00 and costs. Two charges of reckless driving reâ€" sulted in autoists being fined $10.00 and wosts Parking in a wrong place resulted in a fine of $1.00 and costs. and a truck without a license also was followed by a fine. Charges of breach of the law by the use of a lottery machine was also preferred against H. Wallski, but reâ€" manded. until next week. The maâ€" chine, which appears to be an expenâ€" sive and complicated affair is ostenâ€" sibly designed for the vending of gum, but along with this feature has other features that appear to reckon on fortune or the favour of chance, acâ€" cording to the police. The evidence in this ease next week will likely be of more than passing interest next week. Friday evening of this week, April 22nd, there will be a meeting in the town hall, at 8 p.m., to organize for the popular sport of softball. All softball fans should be present.

The special Easter week services at the Timmins Salvation Army were noteworthy for their large attendances and for the general interest and sueâ€" cess of each and every gathering. The services were all inspiring and helpful. There were many special features of interest at these meetings. the musical parts being among the items of particular attraction. Friday evening the hall was packâ€" ed to the doors, and all present thorâ€" oughly enjoyed the services. There were three services on Friday,â€"at 11 a.m., 3 p.m., and 7.30 p.m. The chief speakers were Capt, Jensen and L4eut. Clark, of Cochrane, and Capt. Beesâ€" ton and Lieut.

LA WRENCHI WATERWAY PRKOJECT The grand ball given by the Croaâ€" tian Tamburica Orchestra and the Croatian Society of Schumacher on Monday evening in the Melntyre hall, Schumacher, for the benefit of the Children‘s Aid Shelter Fund, was a noteworthy suceess from all viewâ€" points. The fund will net over $200 from the event. There were about 85 couples present and in addition tickets were sold in advance. _ The returns from the tickets are not all in yet, but it is apparent that the total netted will be over $200.00. _ There are no exâ€" penses, the orchestra giving their serâ€" vices free, the Croatian Society lookâ€" ing after the hall and the lunch and other features. The evening proved a most unusually successful one. The music by the Croaâ€" tian Tamburica orchestra was specially popular and appreciated. It was excelâ€" lent for dancing and the crowd thorâ€" oughly enjoyed it. The orchestra was called upon for encores to practically every number, and were most generâ€" ous and cheerful in their ready reâ€" sponses. The half hour of classical music by the orchestra after the lunchâ€" eon was a rare treat, the music being exceptionally attractive and finding very decided favour Another special feature was the luncheon served. This included deâ€" icious coffee and tea and a noteworthy array of cakes and sandwiches as w ell as several Croatian deicacies that proved very popular. _ The hall was very p]easnwl\ decorated _ and all the features of the evening were up to the highest standards.

The event was handicapped somewhat by the number «of counter attractions \lnmld\ night, but it was undoubtedly an en]u\able success. To the Croatian Tamburica orchesâ€" tra, the Croatian Society, and espeâ€" cially the ladies for their work in the preparing and serv ing of the lunch, the sincere thanks of the Children‘s Aid Society is extended. The patroâ€" the orchestra particularly favoured. The ~Croatian â€" Tamburica â€" orchestra playved steadily from before nine until well after two o‘clock, and from the opening number until ‘*God Save the King,"‘ every number was given with striking talent and effectiveness. The Croatian _ instruments used. proved more than a novelty; they were a musical delight to all. The orchestra was under the direction of the gifted musician, Mr. Peter Smatlick, and inâ€" cluded â€"also Joso Begovich, brach nage given the event is also appreciatâ€" ed, while the material contribution to the funds for the Shelter is also a cause for gratitude. | According to the story now in cirâ€" culation, and supposed to have the backings of those well informed poliâ€" tically, this part of the North Land is only to have four liquor stores unâ€" der the Government Control measure. These stores will be located at Timâ€" mins, Cochrane, Haileybury and Enâ€" glehart. _ Thus goes the story, with the added suggestion that this arâ€" rangement only applies to the present plans and that other places may seâ€" cure stores later on. Another story is that there will be at least five and that Kirkland Lake will also be inâ€" cluded. However, none of these supâ€" positions are supported by any official announcement. _ It appears to be fairâ€" ly certain that Cochrane, Tunmins and Haileybury will have stores under the Act at a comparatively early date, but further than that there does not seem to be anything definite. But as the parrot said to the grandfather‘s clock :â€"Time will tell.

OBDFELLOWS T0 ATTEND OIVINE SERVIGE MAY 187 Gun Club Plan to Establish Sanctuary Here for Birds This week has seen more than one flock of wild geese stop on the marshy ground back of the Hollinger power house. The birds have created much interest, and, as suggested elsewhere in this issue, seores of people have visited the place to watch the birds. Also, there have been seores of photos taken of these interesting travellers on their stopâ€"over _ at â€" Timmins. Cameras have been clicking at a noteâ€" worthy rate, and at this time it is worth noting that during the migraâ€" ting season a camera is the only weaâ€" pon that should be used against the birds. _ The geese <are remarkably tame and it has been possible to get very close to them without any fear being shown by the birds. It would be as easy to shoot these birds as it would be to pick off the hens in a farmer‘s yard, or a bunch of sheep on the hillside,â€"at least until after the first shot or two. _ The birds using the grounds back of the power house on Tuesday all seemed to be young geese. Either they had lost their leader or deposed him, for the flock after the usual rest attempted to get into formation for the contiruance of the trip north but apparently could not secure the neeessary order for lack of leadership. After spending some time in vain efforts to marshall themselves for flight the birds gave up and setâ€" tled down to spend the whole day in Timming. They appeared to be very contented. During the stay of the birds in Timâ€" CANADIAN LEGION DANCE McINTYRE HALL, MAY 6th The local post of the Canadian Leâ€" gion announce a dance to be held in the Melntyre hall on Friday evening, May 6th.

WILLIAM EGBERT the Province The Boxing Tournament held in the Hollinger Recreation hall on Wednesâ€" day evening, April 20th, under the capable direction of Mr. J. Cowan., was well attended and the audience were pleased with the very good perâ€" formances put on. There is no doubt that the manly sport of boxing is making good progress in Timmins The programme was carried out effiâ€" cently, the bouts being noâ€"decision ones. A special feature of the evenâ€" ing was the playing by the Timmins Citizens‘ Band orchestra under Bandâ€" master F. J. Wolno, of several seleeâ€" tions during the evening. _ Mr. J. Faithful, as referee, fulfilled his duâ€" ties efficiently and well, his handling of the bouts being admirably well done; and a word of praise must also be given to Mr. J. MeKenzie as matechâ€" maker. The programme was as follows :â€" 1. Threeâ€"round Boutâ€"Spud Murâ€" phy vs. B. Dellabb1o. A good clean bout, the boxers beâ€" ing fairly well matched. 2. Novelty Number by Mr. H. Nicholis, late of the Royal Navy, and a participant in the battle of Jutland. 3. Threeâ€"round Boutâ€"Billy Trimâ€" ble vs. Eddie Morris. Both men were very fast and in good trimâ€"a very spirited bout indeed. ROLLY REGG. FOUDTBALL / GLUB BOXING PVENT Very Pleasing and Successful Peature in Interest of Holly Recs. F. C. Last Night. A special executive meeting of 8t David‘s Welsh Society is called for Sunday, April 24th, at 3 p.m. in Holâ€" linger Recreation Hall. All members oft executive are particularly requested to attend. benefit. The birds appear to fully apâ€" preciate this hospitality. _ SNome of the birds bear Jack Miner‘s tag, and the Poreupine Rod and Gun Club now has the plan of following the noble precedent set at Kingsville, Ont., by Jack Miner, and establishing a regular bird sanctuary in this vicinity where the birds could rest in safety and wellâ€" provdedâ€"for, â€" during their seasonal flights north and south each year. Mr. J,. D. Brady, secretary of the Rod and Gun Club, is enthusiastic over this idea and thinks that the strip of ‘*eyanide‘‘ and marshy ground back ot the power house would make an ideal place for such a sanctuary. In such a plan, every good sport and every lover of nature will surely give the Rod and Gun Club the heartiest of support. The amount of pleasure and interest arising from the presence this week of the birds, and the large number of men, women and chldren who found delight in watching the wild geese here, indicate the value of the sanctuary idea from one point of view. _ Then, of course, the value im the way of conservation of the wild life of the country is particularly worthy of note. It is to be hoped that the Rod and Gun Club will go on with their plans for establishing a bird sanctuary here along the Jack Miner plan. The food and good usage given the geese on their way north will make them ready to stop off .again on their way south, and next â€"year to call here again, just as they do at Jack Miner‘s place each year. But for the Rod and Gun Club to succeed with their plan two things are necessary:â€"the public must coâ€" operate, and there should be a game warden appointed for this district. 4.
