Member The correspondence courses, conducted by the Ontario Department of Education for the advantage of those pupilis n sparselyâ€"settled areas who are not within reach of schools, doing excellent work and filling a great need. For the present term over five hundred pupils are enrolled. In brief this means that five hundred children who would otherâ€" wise be without facilities for education, are receiving schoolâ€" ing of excellent sort, thanks to the correspondence courses provided. These courses are within the reach of any child wherever there is access to a post office even as infrequently s once every.six weeks. The lessons are arranged to suit the needs and the cirecumstances of the pupils. That the edmcation provided by these courses is good is proven by the fact that this summer five pupils of the courses passed the examinations for entrance to High School, two of them with hanours. Reports from parents whose children are taking the courses is to the effect that so cleverly are the lessons csrried along that the children do as well as they would at school. In some cases ‘it is believed that the child‘s progress is much better than it would be at the nearest school availâ€" ahile. In establishing the correspondence courses Premier Ferguson did a noteworthy service for the province and one that will have increasing results for good as the days go by. CRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER 'Timmifls, Ontario, Thursday, Sept. 13, 1928 zeourse, there will be some who will respond only to the force af the law and these delinquents will have to be treated acâ€" caordingly. It is to the advantage of all to conserve the fish and game of the district. With all showing the proper spirit of good sportsmanship there will be enough fish and egeme in this country to continue it as a sportsman‘s paraâ€" dlise. A number of details will have to be observed. The good work of the Rod and Gun Club in stocking the waters with fish fry is of material advantage. The installation of fish ladders on the Mattagami river would help considerâ€" ahily also. The remarkable growth of the Timmins High School is shown by the figures in the case. In 1923 the High School had 40 pupils enrulled. iIn 1928 the enrolment is 356. In 1923 the High School had four teachers, while toâ€"day there re no less than sixteen on the staff. In 1923 the school apened in temporary quarters in King‘s hall. Toâ€"day the building of the Timmins High and Technical Schools is sze of the large and imposing structures of which the town hbas much reason to be proud. There used to be a barber in the town of Perth, Ontario, who became more or less famous for the odd way in which he would twist.words without consciously attempting to do so. On one occasion he told merchant that he never bought anything for his home without first "insulting" his wife. Another time he boasted about being the first barber In the district to instal "indecent" electric lights. He also his shop as being painted by himself with yellow "»kum," when "ochre" was no doubt what he had in mind and on the shop. A visitor to the Timmins fire hall some ago would appear to be a lineal descendant of that old time Perth barber. He referred to a visit to the "supposal" plant, a trip to the "insinuator," and also to boating on the "BPhotogami‘‘ river. For a time he puzzled the firemen by repeated reference to "Pete Arizona," until one of the boys identified "Pete Arizona" as being no less a personage than Pete Bardessono himself. Perhaps the reason some of the city girls do not wear any hbhats is so that they may describe their costumes with the words, "and hat to match." General reports would appear to indicate that the fish and game laws are being observed better in this immediate disâ€" trict than in some past years. Of course, there are breaches sf the law occurring this year, but there is a decided imâ€" provement. Indeed, between the good work of the Rod and Gun Club and the game warden, Mr. Robt. Edadleston, there is possibility that all fish and game may not be complet:ly If the newspaper despatches from Calgary may be taken st their face value, there is a gentleman at present in that Western city who claims that he has the solution of the Ambrose Small mystery practically solved. This gentleman 4s described as an "internationallyâ€"known criminologist of Vienna," and his name is given as Dr. Maximillian A. Langâ€" sner. Ambrose Small was a ,millionaire theatre, owner in Toronto and he disappeared some eight years ago. Dr. TLangsner says that Small was murdered and he can bring the guilty to justice. The Advance is doubtful as to whether oo much reliance should be placed on the Calgary desâ€" pstches. There appears the possibility that something may be other than it appears. The interview may not have ocâ€" or the celebrated criminologist may have been imisâ€" guoted, or the criminologist may not be as celebrated as suggested, or there may not be a criminologist concerned at the stock exchange this week a wellâ€"known local genâ€" tleman when asked why the Wrightâ€"Hargreaves stock was so weak on the board, replied:â€""Oh, I guess that must be because the Wrightâ€"Hargreaves baseball team was defeated by the McIntyres recently." Lesser causes appear to make stocks fiuctuate on the board on occasion. lost to the district in the course of a very few years. For saome years past, through the flagrant violation of the rules and regulations made with the purpose of conserving iish and game, it did appear as if in a very short time the disâ€" trict would lose all the fish and game once here in such arbundance. The fish and game laws are designed to conâ€" serve the fish and game and if they were fully observed this good purpose would be assured. Sportsmen and others should keep this thought in mind and remember always that to break the law is almost invariably to act in unsportsâ€" all There are so many things that may be wrong in such a esse. But if the facts are all as stated, and if this is Dr. Langnser, and Dr. Langsner can do all they say he can do, one of the greatest mysteries of modern times may be #irared up. To this end the authoritiee may be depended upon to give the fullest coâ€"operation and support. They whould be required, however, to go one step further, if Dr. manlike way. Mr. Eddleston is using good judgment in the epforcement of the law in the matter. He appears to be striving for public coâ€"operation rather than to secure fines. If he can succeed in his missionary work it will advantage Â¥the country more than scores of police court cases. Of The Yorupine Anvaner Thursday, Sept. 13th, 1928 TIMMINXS, ONTARIO OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association Published EKvery Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: $2.00 per year United States .. $3.00 per year E pense, to bring to justice the cowardly assassin of Inspector | Constable at Cochrane in October, 1926. Inspector Conâ€" | ,stable did not gather wealth, but he gave loyal service to | \the country. He met his death because he did his duty ! Langsner can clear up the Ambrose Small mystery. The authorities should at once engage him, regardless of exâ€" His murderer should be brought to justice Out of over 8000 British miners brought to Canada, through the coâ€"operation of the British and Canadian Govâ€" ments and the railways and steamship lines, only about 600 have proved unsuitable for the work of assisting in the harâ€" vesting of the West great wheat crop this year. Fully ninety per cent. of the men brought out here have done well. The few who have had to be returned make a very small perâ€" centage of the grand total, and so the experiment may be considered a success to the present moment. It may also be noted that even less trouble would have been encountered had there not been some communist agitators along with the party to deliberately foment dissatisfaction. The methâ€" ods said to be used in handling the few hundred men who had to be returned have been rather strenuously criticized. It would appear that these unsuitable fellows expected to be treated like princes, though they did not act at all like the princes known to Canada. However, Canada need not worry about the attitude of those miners returned to the Old Counâ€" try. What this country should be anxious about is the numâ€" ber left here. What is to be done with these thousands of miners after the harvest work is done? Are they to be alâ€" lowed to drift to mining towns like Timmins to create unâ€" employment problems? At the present time Timmins has a surplus of miners, and any influx of men here would create nothing but injury for all concerned. Steps should be taken to see that no such condition arises. No further unemployâ€" ment problems should be permitted here. Norman Ross is quoted as telling Toronto newspapers that he was offered ten thousand dollars to "throw" the swimâ€" ming race with George Young last week. What is wrong with the Toronto paragraphers? The best they can do with that sensational story of attempted bribery is to complain that it can not be true because swimming must naturally be a clean sport. The Advance always understood that in these big swims the entries were "greased" before they enâ€" tered, but it was never told before how much. The town of Timmins will save considerable money each year through the new plan adopted by the town council ‘n regard to the assessment. The 1928 assessment is being acâ€" cepted as the assessment for 1929, subject of course to any additions and to the finding of the court of revision in reâ€" gard to any appeals made. Beginning next year the assessment will be made between April 1st and Sept. 30. The assessment made one year will be the basis for the next year‘e taxation. In this way taxes may be collected earlier in the year and the necessity for large borrcwings of money to tide the town over until taxes are due will be avoided. There will be a large saving here in bank interest and charges. After the first year there will not be the slightest inconvenâ€" ience to the public. For the one year the taxes will follow a little more closely than usual upon the taxes of the preâ€" vious year. This will not, however, be anything like as serious a matter as in 1927 when two years‘ taxes had to be paid in less than a year. Indeed, the public may get the advantage of the privilege of paying in three instalments under the new plan, as such a method would be practical if the taxes were collectable earlier in the year. John Catto, for sixtyâ€"five years a merchant in the city of Toronto, died last week in that city at the age of 95 years. The leading Toronto newspapers devoted columns to reâ€" ferences to Mr. Catto‘s fine character and useful life and his attractive personality. The life he lived so long,â€" honest, upright, industrious, genialâ€"was a blessing in itself to the city he honoured by his residence. Both The Toronto Mail and Empire and The Globe published extended ediâ€" torial articles on the value of Mr. Catto‘s citizenship and the benefit of his public spirit. He was honoured in death as he had been in life, the newspapers publishing pictures of the good man who had passed on and of scenes at his funeral, in addition to the reviews of his life and work. The newspapers gave his death as great prominence and attenâ€" tion as is often given by lighter newspapers to others less deserving of the public notice. The Toronto newspapers by their attitude proved once more that good is just as truly news as evil or the foolishly sensational. The attendancse at Mr. Catto‘s funeral and the interest taken by the public even in places far removed from Toronto and by people who imnad no acquaintanceship with the late Mr. Catto also proved that newspapers like The Mail and Empire and Theâ€"Globe are closely in touch with public interests and public opinion and that the vast majority of the people in Canadg after all still retain their interest in real men and real matters of importance. The Mail and Empire makes a good point when it says in its editorial notes:â€"*"Lyle Womack is suing his wife for divorce. Naturally he must be tired of being spoken of as Ruth Elder‘s husband, but will it be any better to be known as Ruth Elder‘s exâ€"husband? P.S.â€"Who was Ruth Elder? Or does anybody remember? Montreal is having another investigation into the probity or ctherwise of the police force of that city. One charge made now is that over $50,000.00 was paid by one gang of lawâ€"breakers for immunity from prosecution. Two men were discussing the investigation in a Timmins cafe the other evening. The one was inclined to believe all that was suggested against the Montreal police, while the other was equally keen in defending the uprightness of the Montreal officials, After continuing the argument for considerable time the two decided to compromise by agreeing that in any case it was none of Ontario‘s business. This was the most ungrounded conclusion possible, if there is any truth in the stories, for the confidence men who are supposed to have paid some fifty thousand dollars to escape the law in Montreal are said to have transferred their business to Onâ€" tario. The interests of one section of Canada nearly always prove to be the interests of all other sections. It is very important to Ontario towns and citiese that the law is honestly enforced in Montreal and elsewhere. Due to the heavy rains the water in the river is up fully a foot. In the South Porcupine area a slight touch of flood conditions is also evident. It appears as if the district would have a touch of spring at both ends of the season that should be summer this year. If there is any place where better pansies can be grown than in this North, the address of such place should be produced. Wantedâ€"A belt line of roads for the North Land!

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO One of the most important gatherings ever held in Timmins will be that of the Canadian Ticket Agents‘ Association who are holding their fortyâ€"second anâ€" nual convention here on Tuesday and | Wednesday of next week. It is expectâ€" ' ed that there will be between a hundred | and forty ‘and a hundred and fifty here in connection with the convention, inâ€" cluding the members of the association ! and the ladies accompanying them. A special train will bring the delegates here from Toronto. They will arrive at Timmins at 6 p.m. They will hold a session of the convention on Tuesday evening and a second meeting on Wedâ€" nesday morning. On Wednesday afterâ€" noon they will be taken through the !-Hollinger Mine. Wednesday evening \they have planned a dance and supper ’at which some Timmins people will be their guests. The special will leave on lThursday morning for Iroquois PFalis to see the big paper town. The delegates | will be from all sections of this part of | Canada, representing all railways seryvâ€" \ing the country. The holding of this convention here should mean good pubâ€" llicity for Timmins. The railway ticket \agents having a wide touch with the ipublic and coming from widelyâ€"separatâ€" ed places should spread the truth about | this camp on a wide scale. GARADIAN TIGKET AGENTS T0 KOLD COnvENTION HERE Fortyâ€"Second Annual Gathering Will be Held Here Next Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept 18 and 19 TO BE TRIED ON CHARGE OF ROBBERY AT TEMISKAMING The Attorneyâ€"General‘s Department Tuesday granted an order on applicaâ€" tion of W. H. Williams, K.C., Pembroke, legal representative for the Canadian Pacific Railway to move Victor Szyâ€" monski to Temiskaming, Que., to stand trial on a charge of holding up and robbing the C. P. R. station at that point on September 19 of last year, when approximately $600 was stolen from the company‘s safe. Szymonski is at present in jail at North Bay. Sszymonski was recently convicted at North Bay before Judge Valin in the District Judge‘s Criminal Court on charge of conspiring to commit robâ€" bery and was sentenced to three years in Portsmouth Penitentiary. Investiâ€" gations conducted while Szymonski was incarcerated in the district jail awaitâ€" ing trial led to him being indentified, police say, as having committed the Temiskaming holdâ€"up. F. S. Burgess and George Surtees, the two assistant agents at Temiskaming who were faced with guns at the time of the robbery, positively identified. Szymonski as the man responsible, it is aileged. Pretty Wedding Last Week at United Church, Timmins There were many beautiful and costâ€" ly gifts received, expressing the popuâ€" larity of the young couple and the reâ€" gard in which they are held. The groom is a member of the Hollinger Mine staff and has made many friends during his residence in the camp. The bride has been one of the most popular of the young ladies of the town in soâ€" cial and musical circles, having been for years organist at the United Church, and a member of the Hollinger Stores office staff. The flower girl was Miss Lily Sulliâ€" van, of New Liskeard. She was daintily dressed in white crepeâ€"deâ€"chene,. and carried a basket of sweet peas. A pretty wedding took place at the United Church, Timmins, on Né?nday, Sept. Srd, when Miss Fearn McC arthy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Mcâ€" Carthy, of Timmins, became the bride of Mr. Chas. Roberts, of Johannesburg, South Africa. Rev. J. D. Parks, minisâ€" ter of the Timmins United Church, officiated at the ceremony. The wedâ€" ding music was played by Mrs, J. D. Parks. Mr. Edgar, of Timmins, was the groomsman. The groom‘s gift to the best man was a silver cigarette case; to the bridesâ€" maid and maid of honour, two pileces of pearlâ€"tone ivory; to the flower girl, a gold bracelet. There was a reception at the home of the bride‘s parents, 115 Elm street, south, in the evening, about forty guests being present and a very pleasâ€" ant time enjoyed by all. The maid of honour was Miss Ruby McCarthy, sister of the bride, and was dressed in rose georgette, with hat, shoes and hose to match. She carried a bouquet of pink roses and sweet peas. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked very charming in a gown of white georgette, with bridal veil, and wearing white shoes and hose to match. The bride wore a beautiful rope of pearls, a gift to her from the groom‘s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, of South Africa, The bride‘s bouquet was of cream roses and lilies ofâ€"theâ€" valley. The bridesmaid was Miss Joy Mcâ€" Carthy, sister of the bride. She was dressed in pale green georgette, with hat, shoes and hose to match, and carâ€" ried a bouquet of pink roses and sweet peas. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Roberts left on a motor trip to Toronto and are expected back this week to take up residence in Timmins. A news story tells of a nonâ€"stop auto driver collapsing at the wheel of his car, after driving 201 hours. Their many friends will extend best wishes to the young couple.
