Gordon Block Thursday, August 4th, 1927 The Haileyburian last week says:â€"â€" +*Mr. Alfred Chesser, who has spent the past three years in Kimberley and Trail, B.C., is in Haileyboury for a two weeks‘ visit with his mother, Mrs. A. H. Chesser, BMackwall Street."‘ Mr. Chesser was a former resident of Timmins, and has many friends here. In reference to the article in The Advance last waeek last week to the effect that the breeding of chinchilla rabbits might prove a profitable sideâ€" line in this part of the North Land, Mr. W. Trollope, of Schumacher, says that the plan is practical enough beâ€" cause he has already adopted it with good success. Mr. Trollope has seven chinchilla rabbits that he is raising, and he is confident that he can make a success of the venture. Mr. Trolâ€" lope is the owner of a woodâ€"working and repair plant in Schumacher, and has found the chinchilla rabbit busiâ€" ness a very interesting sideâ€"line and one that promises also to be profitable. There appears to be a good market for both the fur and the rabbit meat, and he sees no reason why the breeding and raising of chinchillas can not be carried on succeessfully. During the time that he has been interested in the chinchillas he has found pleasure in their care and he has learned a lot about them and their ways and the best way to attend to them, _ Mr. Trollope very kindly volunteered to The Advance to show his chinehilla rabbits to anyone interested if they will call at his house, 4AÂ¥ Rairlway street, Schumacher, any evening after supper. He is also good enough to say that he is ready to share anything that he may know or have learned aâ€" bout this type of rabbit with anyone who has any idea of taking up the pleasant work of breeding and raising them. â€" Mr. Trollope says that the climate is well suited to the raising of these rabbits and that they thrive well and are little trouble in any way. Their fur is particularly good, the weather of the North Land apparently adding to its richness and lustre, Mr. W. Trollope Has Adopted this Sideâ€"Line.

CHUMAGCHER AAS 50ME GAINGHILLA RABBITS THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO In commenting on the paragraph in The Advance a couple of weeks ago praising the three boys who saw to it that Miss Poirer‘s lost money was reâ€" turned to her, The New Liskeard Speaker last week says :â€"â€" (Omar, the mystic, who was adverâ€" tised as ‘‘the man who knows everyâ€" thing,‘‘ and who was reputed to be able to answer any question, evidently missed one piece of useful knowledge, when he engaged to appear at the (Goldfields theatre on Monday and Tuesday of this week. He did not know apparently that he was going to be ill on the dates mentioned. As a matâ€" ter of fact he was ill on Monday and Tuesday and so could not appear for the engagement here. As a result, the people missed what is generally reported as a very entertaining featâ€" ure, while at the some time it was shown that there are some things in the way of knowledge that even Omar overlooks. HONESTY SHOULD BE THTE POLICY FOR ALL CITIZENS The elegant new club house of the Haileybury Goif Club is to be formalâ€" ly opened this week.

I ran home and showed my find to my mother. Instead of my mother looking pleased as I had exâ€" pected, she looked very sorrowful and said, ‘‘I am so sorry.

Dear Sir:â€"It is well known that the editorial influence of The Porenâ€" pine Advance is all for the good, and believing that the immediate erection of a Community Hall is an urgent need locally, I trust you will find room in your valuable columns for this thesis in support of the efforts of the various organizations mentioned to obtain suitable headquarters, hopâ€" ing that some of the influential memâ€" bers of the community may be indueâ€" ed to help in this good work. Paying with promises does not, nor ever will, wipe out the debt this great and growing nation of Canada owes to our own returned men; and it is only too unfortunately true that in times of national peril and stress we (speaking nationally) are prone to proâ€" mise more freely than at other times, trusting, Micawberâ€"like, to keep some of these promises, if something turns up to enable us to do so. Yet the Caâ€" nadian Legion remains intensely loyal and patriotiec. We yield to none in our love of country, our emphatic upâ€" holding of sane and sensible governâ€" ment, and, whilebeing noneâ€"politicial, we admit to membership no ‘‘Reds.‘"‘ Our local branch, now growing numerâ€" ically and financially stronger under the able leadership of Dr. 8. R. Harâ€" rison, has already been of assistance to several exâ€"servicemen who were ‘‘up against it.‘‘ And the Legion needs headquarters. But if we owe a debt to the veterâ€" ans, how much more so do we owe a debt to our children (again speaking from a national view point) ? While no one doubts that the very great majority of parents are doing their utmost by gnd for their children, and that there are very few, if any, parâ€" ents so preoccupied with their own personal aggrandisement as to forget the duty nature has assigned to them, yet sometimes even the most conscienâ€" tious parents overlook the danger that lurks in the background for children in their spare time. It is a fundaâ€" mental truth to state that goodly number of the children of this district are the descendants of a virile and adâ€" venturous race of people who may justly lay claim to being pioneers in the making of this North Land. To the Editor of The Advance. Correspondent Reviews the Need and Advantage of a Suitable Headquarters for Various Helpful Organizaâ€" tions in Town. Reference to the Debt to the Returned Soldiers and the Duty to the Children. Showing the Benefits of a Community Hall for Timmins Local Distributorsâ€"National Grocers Co, Ltd., Timmins Possessln,, this proud her itage, plus probably a better eduction, it is not to f %f/fl ztd be wondered at that sometimes this. inherited venturesomeness, this incipiâ€" ent virility, is sometimes difficult to control, especitally in spare time, as when away from school or from direct parental control. But, have we not such splendid philanthropiec and publicâ€"spirited orâ€" ganizations and individuals as the Kiwanis Club, who by their "*Open Spaces,‘‘ ‘‘Playing Grounds,‘‘ ‘‘Unâ€" derâ€"privileged Child,‘‘ etec., to mention only a part of their work for the unâ€" doubted and indisputable good and betterment of this North Land in parâ€" ticular and Canada and the world in general, are doing a splendid service to the children of this district. Coâ€" operating with the Kiwanis in this good work for the children is their subsidiary club, the Kiwaneesâ€"or, axiomatically, ‘‘the hand that rocks,‘" etc., ghould I not say the controlling controlling elub. Again, there is the excellent efforts of the Sea Cadets to introduce into the lives of our exuberant youths the undeniable advantages of selfâ€"control and discipline, supplemented now by that very weleome newâ€"comer to this; district, Mr. Austin E. Neame, whose military knowledge and skill in First Aid, as well as his time, is being freeâ€" ly given to the boys in their spare time, so endeavouring to fill up the dangerous gap of spare time. _ This, be it noted, is in addition to Mr.. Neame‘s work for the Timming Branch of the Canadian Legion. . And both the Sea Cadets and Mr. Austin Neame‘s classes need headâ€" quarters. Would not the St. John Ambulance Brigade gladly establish themselves in some certrally situated and commodiâ€" ros building where they could store their equipment, establish an office, and do their drill and lectures, beâ€" sides a member on duty to call up the Brigade in the event of an emergency, or to be in a position to answer any calls upon their service? Yet with all the good works of the aboveâ€"mentioned there appears to be a lack of coâ€"operation in securing central and sufficiently commodious accommodation for all the organizaâ€" tions, clubs, etc., noted. To my mind the logical and only solution of this problem of providing a headquarters and drill hall suitable for all, is by building a large Commumty Hall, centrally situated, and so arranged that each society could and would reâ€" tain its individuality. I am sure that if such headquarters could be secured before winter comes, the Sea Cadets" officials could rely on the membhers of the Canadian Legion in giving them a helping hand; equally sure am J that the Legion would loyally support Mr. Austin Neame in the conduct of his classes; and the St. John Ambuâ€" lance Brigade might pick up a valuâ€" able recruit or two from the Legion or Sea Cadets. Inter alia, your valuâ€" able editorial expression of the wish that the Sea Cadets, the Boy Scouts, and Mr. Neame‘s classes be amnlgaâ€" mated and so cover the whole ground and attract many of the boys would be appreciably nearer. I am, dear Sir, The problem of collecting back taxes is worrying Cobalt just as it has troubled practically every municipaliâ€" ty in the North Land. The matter was before Cobalt council at its last meeting and Mayor Lendrum emphaâ€" sized the idea that the collections simâ€" ply had to be made. Ratepayers are to be asked to either explan their position to council or else accept the harsher methods of collection. There is a total of about $10,000.00 of unâ€" paid taxes in Cobalt now.
