Pleasant Delegates to Quartérly Meeting Entertained by Timmins Board of Tradg and Kiw Club. . Enjoyable Event Featured by Helpful and Humorous Addresses. The delegates at Timmins last week for the quarterly meeting of the Norâ€" thern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade were entertained at dinner on Thursday evening last in the Empire hotel by the Timmins Board of Trade and the Kiwanis Club.. About a hundred were present, including the visiting delegates and members of the local board of trade and the Kiâ€" wanis Club. A feature of the evenâ€" ing was the pleasing music provided by an orchestra including Messrs Norman Shone, David Payne, Hartâ€" well DeMille and C. E. MacDonald. Mr. C. G. Keddie, president of the Kiwanis ‘Club, presided for the occasion and kept everything moving at the right place. _ Kiwanis Club songs ° were interspered throughout the programmée and the community singing was enjoyed by all.

Mr. Langdon pointed out that a live board Associa of trade was essential to the success and progress of any community, and he asked for the hearty support of all for the Timmins Board of Trade. . Mr. C. W. Wright, president of the Associated Boards of Trade, gave an eloquent ‘and inspiring address that brought very decided approval. Beâ€" ing president of the Northern Ontaxio Associated Boards of Trade was real job, he said, following the able and publicâ€"spirited men who had preâ€" viously occupied that position and set such high standards of service. Quoting the definition given by a youngster for a ‘‘husband,‘‘ Mr. Wright cleverly applied it to the functions of a board of trade. ‘‘A husband is a necessity,‘‘ said the youngster, ‘‘and every selfâ€"respectâ€" ing family should have one.‘‘ A live board of trade was a necessity, said Mr. Wright, and every selfâ€"respectâ€" ing town should have one. In inâ€" spiring way Mr. Wright outlined the uses of a board of trade, and showed «clearly that all should join,â€"business imen,' professional men, farmers and others,â€"to work together for the advantage and progress of their town and district. h .

Champions DGl: Town with Smooth St Classy Hockey A friend of The Advance forwards the following clipping from The Sudâ€" bury Star of recent date in regard to the recent exhibition: game, of hockey played at Sudbury last week by the Porcupine Hockey team of South Poreupine :â€" § M 6A tr«‘. RVGAA _ J M e e MA §M CCC Breaking their expedition f#*om the North Country to Toronto in search of provincial honors, with an exhibiâ€" tion game in Sudbury on Wesdnesday evening, South Poreupine‘s Senior N.O.H.A. chamnions defeated Erringâ€" ton Mine, Nickel Belt title holders, by the score of 4â€"1, and the largest hockey crowd of the season wWe‘e favourably impressed with the classy performance that both teams gave. It was the fastest hockey that Sudâ€" bury has seen this year. e i t i e s ow c e oi o n o l y c oo on mt With an ability to break away toâ€" gether that was spectacular and a systematic combination attack, the Porcupiners operated like a wellâ€"oiled machine and set a pace that told on the Errington aggregation in the third period, registering three points and holding the Miners to nil. In Spence, Jemmett and McCutcheon, they iced a sweetâ€"looking forward line that has passing and stickhandâ€" ling ability and cleverness. Spence at left wing is a specialist at stickâ€" handling, while Jemmett, at centre, is as cute as they make them, and was not the least bit selfish in his assists to the wings. Altogether, they are a likelyâ€"looking aggregation to repreâ€" sent the North at Toronto, against intermediate O.H.A. class. Both goalies were given plenty of opportunity to show their wares. Thornton, guarding the Porcupiners‘ citadel, made numerous brilliant saves in the first two periods, while Donâ€" levy, for the Miners, had to be on his toes to prevent a much larger score. Jack Duncan, the Errington‘s flashy left winger, pestered Thornton most of all, and nailed the lone tally for Lis team in the sccond period after Mcelinnis, after a few Kaukanen had carried the dise to the i"orcu-pi;l;rs; defence.. _ That goal to Mine, Nickel Belt title: holders, tucked one puck into the Errington twine in the first period. The Poreupine crew cpened . the throttle in the third period and brushâ€" ed in three goals with comparative ease. Saunders tallied the first of these, MceCutcheon the second and Jemmett the third to make the count 4â€"1. _ Errington after travelling at top speed for two periods, could: not maintain the pace in the third, but at that they were extended. | 0 090 In Gagne and Saunders, the chamâ€" pions have a useful pair of subs who fit into the attack immediately they are dropped onto the ice. Fell and Murray, on the defence, are 2 hefty pair, and the former broke away on a few cleanâ€"cut rushes.. At all times the Poreupiners broke systematically and as soon as delivering their shots, skated quickly back to their positions at midâ€"ice and waited for the onâ€" rushing Miners. Duncan was the most dangerous man on the Errington crew and in the second frame was robbed of a couple of goals by Thornton. Kenny executed the odd rush but was genâ€" erally slowed up on reaching the Porâ€" cupine defence. % "I A xEX y\ Erringtonâ€"Goal, Donlevy ; defence, Kenny and Sagima; centre Hargraft ; wings, Kauhanen and Duncan; subs, Pawson and Reinholdt. nsA c P esn South «Porecupineâ€"Goal, Thornton; defence, Fell and Murray; centre, Jemmett; wings, McCutcheon and Spence; subs., Gagne and Sauglderé. a~t io 7 11 CÂ¥ _ (Mrs. Mercier, who conducted the Dorando Hotel so successfully has taken over the Kingston Hotel..
