Bornâ€"In Timmins, at Mrs. Gouâ€" let‘s hospital, on Tuesday, June 12th, to Mr. and Mrs. 0. Villineuveâ€"a son. The road from Timmins to the Junction is reported as very good now. Mr. Harry Duff, road superinâ€" tendent for the North, drove down from Cochrane this week, and returnâ€" ed by the same route. Mr. Campbell, a wellâ€"known mining | man, who has been in the Poreupine for some time, is taking charge of the Dunkin property in, the Clearwater‘ Lake area. A plant is being taken into the property and extensive work will be carried on. There is considâ€", erable work being done in the Clear-‘ water Lake section and the prospeets there appear especially good. ' Dr.â€" 8. R.

Tisdale Police Car Not Considered as Reliable After Lengthy Service. Other Matters Dealt With by Tisdale Township Council South Poreupine, June 13th, 1928. Special to The Advance, The Tisdale township council met in the council chambers on Monday night with the reeve and all councilâ€" lors present. There were a couple of charity There were a couple of charity appeals but one party, being a minor whose parents owned property, it was decided to see if they could not be made responsible for him. There was a letter from the deputy minister re the fixing of certain roads on the 50â€"50 ‘basis. In court of revision two tax cases were oanoel]ed one being a widow with two young chNdren, the other being the bl\atmg‘ rink. There is a meeting evening to strike the for this yvear. Engineer Hendry was asked â€"re tenders forâ€" lumber forâ€" sidewalks Both tenders received so far were the same. He was instmucted to phone MOVIES MAY BE ADDED T0 RAILWAY SCAOOL CARS The travelling railway school cars (‘‘the schoolhouse on wheels"") of the Ontario Department of Education may be equipped with motion picture maâ€" chine and films according to present plans of the department. These sechool cars work dalong the railway lines in the western part of the North Land in the isolated sections. These cars with gifted teachers in charge, stop at points alongâ€"the railway and studâ€" ents wather for educational purposes. After a stop of a couple of weeks the ‘ar moves on, and return later along the route, work for the students to do being left with them until the return visit. The plan, it will thus be seen, includes the correspondence sehool idea. Both the C. P. R. and the ‘C. N. R. have supplied a ear each for the purpose and given the fullest eoâ€"operâ€" ation. It is expected that three new cars will be added, operating from Fort William to Superior Junction, from Fort William to Ignace, and on the old Canadian Northern line. Reâ€" ports from the department show that the opposition first inclined to be shown to the railway cars has not only been overcome but there is now a gonm al desire to have more of them. Indeed, the usefulness of these traâ€" vollmo' schools has been extended to the adults, night classes being held and largely dttended by adults, many of \\hom are learning to read and write. In the isolated sections served by these railway car schools, keen interâ€" set has been shown in news of the outâ€" side world, and the addition of suitâ€" able motion picture_films, it is very rightly believed, would add to the inâ€" terest and prove of much educational value. ARRESTED ON CHARGE / RECEIVING DIAMONNS. One .of the more important .cases at police court this week was the/ charge against Velentine Ivanoff, wHho is acâ€" cused of receiving stolen diamonds. The charge was laid by R. Allen. The diamonds alleged to he stolen are some of those used in diamond drills. At court this week, Ivanoff‘s case was remanded to next week. For allowing his horses to stray at large on the street, one man paid $4.00 and veosts, a total of some ten dollars. Three were each asked to contriâ€" bute $10 and costs for speeding. A case of ‘‘no lights on ecar‘‘ brought a fine of $5.00 and costs. A man and his sister were jointly charged with having liquor in posâ€" session, said» liquor not having been bought on a permit. The case was remanded to next week. WThe excise case referred < to last week as remanded was again set forâ€" ward for a week. One assault case was dismissed, while another was remanded to next Kenneth MacDonald was fined $50, and costs on a* drunk charge. The story told by eyewitnesses of the event was that he had hit an old man who was passing and otherwise disâ€" turbed the peace while in an intoxiâ€" cated condition. Unless the fine is paid he will have thirty days to serve at Haileybury. As it does not â€"seem probable that the fine will be paid now, he will likely travel south on Friday or Saturday this week. Two men who got into a fight on street were each fined $10.00 and eosts. In the Juvenile Court this week two boys were aceused of stealing golf clubs or having stolen golf elubs in their possession. As those instrumenâ€" tal in laying the charges did not apâ€" pear, the magistrate dismissed the cases against the two boys. on Wednesday rate for taxes ; to stray at e man paid oft some ten two or three other companies and get their quotations also, then go ahead. A notice is to be posted up at the post office asking for tenders for the building of the sidewalks in South Poreupine. * The dog byâ€"law was mentioned and the chief of police asked to have it enforced to the letter. _ Hence after June 15th, anyone allowing their dow to run at larO‘e (\\hether tagged « not) is liable to a fine. There will be no warnings given this year, simply a summons to court. People have been notified of this law now sufficiently to comply with it and the chief of polite wishes it emphasized that it will be enforceed stretly. _ If your dog accompanies you or anyone else down street it must be on leash. Otherwise it must be kept confined to your own premises. served DYV â€" same UIAL â€"WaLer would no longer be available. Chief Mcelnnis asked re suits for the police |f0r('o, and was told to get samples and prices from different firms in the township and he and the clerk to pick lLout same. Queéstions were asked by the counâ€" cillors re the raiding of places where there was too much drunkenness. the opinion of some of them the perâ€" mit system was being a@lbused. Re the contract for repairing the jail, the inspector has ordered new wiring throughout the building. â€" Enâ€" gineer Hendry asked re water serâ€" vice taps and was told they were to be discontinued and clerk inâ€" structed to send letters to those being served by same that water there cwould no longer be available. Chief was stated that this car was not the safest to use, s it was beâ€" coming so badly worn. However, the purchase of a ear for the South Porâ€" cupine end of the camp was strongly from Schumacher, and the matter opposed by two of the .councillors was left in abeyance for the present. The question of ‘"‘stop‘‘ signs and ‘‘silent policemen‘‘ was up again. It was deemed that it would not do to put ‘*‘stop"‘ signs at certain crossings unless parts of the highway could hbe made a through road. â€" However, a silent policeman is to be placed at the Poplar street and First avenue intersection in Schumacher and signs with the proper speed limit are to be purchased for placing on the outâ€" skirts of Schumacher. The question of a car for use of the chief and South Poreupine police came up, it being a wellâ€"kpown fact that the present car is so far used up as to not be any longer dependable. In fact, when Chief Melnnis was on his holidays, and this old car was beâ€" ing used by Schumacher police while their new car was being overhauled, it was stated that this car was not the safest ‘to use, s it was beâ€" The routine wages and accounts were passed for payment. *R *4 4t * * has received instructions to sell the following used cars, consisting of :â€" 2 Studebaker Tourings, 3 Overland Tourings, 2 Ford Coupes, 2 Ford Seâ€" dans, 3 Ford Tourings, 3 Overland Tourings, 2 McLaughlin Tourings, 2 Chevrolet Tourings, 1 Gray Dort, 2 Willysâ€"Knights.
