Whether this will be done this year or not is not certain, in view of the fact that two new councillors have still to be elected. The council might select the members of the various commitâ€" tees from the members of council alâ€" ready elected, but this is not probable. It is more likely that the selection of _ecommittees will be deferred until afâ€" ter the other two councillors are apâ€" pointed, or else temporary choice made of committees until the new councillors are elected. It is probable, however, that one piece of business to be transâ€" acted at the first meeting of the 1928 council on Monday will be the selecâ€" | tion of a date for the nominations for the two. vacancies on the council board.

PINNKCLL their annual revue, given in the Goldfield the auspices of the T of the Daughters of 1 siven in the Goldfields Theatre under the auspices of the Timmins Chapter of the Daughters of the Empire. The two â€" evening â€" performances _ found crowded houses, and the general opâ€" inion is that the show was well worthy of a full house each and very night. The Saturday matinee, on account of the weather and the holiday season, did not draw as large a crowd as exâ€" pected, the house being only half full, but the company played with the same generous talent and hearty interest as given at the other performances. Those at the matinea expressed special appreciation of the way the Dumbells Company gave of their best, stinting nothing, despite the. comparatively small erowd. The Dumbells Company gave one of small erowd. The Dumbells Company gave one of the very best shows ever presented in Timmins. Comment since the event all seems to be highly favourable, and the 1.O.D. E. are being very generally commended on bringing so pleasing and excellent an offering to this towan. Many here who had seen the Dumbells in other years suggested that some other year they were better than last week, but none were so bold as to pretend that the ninth annual revae was not a firstâ€"class show,â€"an extra special. _ Scenery, costumes, acting, singing, dancing, stage settings, lightâ€" ing effects and particularly the cleverâ€" ness of the whole show deserve special mention. From the opening sketch to the drop of the‘ curtain, there was not a dull moment or a poor number. Some may single one or more items for special praise, but the very variety of the choice of special numbers to praise by different people indicates the fact that the show â€" throughout makes universal appeal, and there apâ€" pears to be something special for everybody‘s taste. The opening sketch, ‘‘Just Around the Corner,"‘ was an artistic piece of â€" The openmg sketch, ‘‘Just Around the Corner,"‘ was an artistic piece of work, well done and having special dppell to the hearts of those whose loved ones went ‘‘ just around the corâ€" ner‘‘ in the war.

He proved a great favourâ€" ite as a funâ€"maker. The ‘"‘pretty girls‘‘ of this exeluâ€" sively male company won great popuâ€" larity.
