A very enjoyable dance was held by the Ramblers‘® Club last Friday evenâ€" ing in the MciIintyre Recreation hall, Schumacher. Tommy Stephens‘ orâ€" chestra provided the best of good music for the dancing, and this, with the very enjoyable luncheon served by the club during the evening were factors in contributing to the success the evening undoubtedly was. There was a good attendarice present, both of members of the club, and invited guests of the evening. Durimg the evening announcement was made that the Ramblers would hold an Armistice dance Curing the week of November lith. Invitations are now being issuâ€" ed for this event.

It may be well to explain once more the purpose and benefits of Poppy Day. It is a day set apart for the purchase and use of popâ€" pies made by disabled soldiers, the wearing of the flower being a token of remembrance for the brave men who gave their lives on the fields of France and Belgium and elsewhere. The sale of the poppies here next Saturday will do two other things as well. It will help the disabled soldiers who make a profit from the sale of the flowers and it will assist the Relief Fund of the Timmins Legion. This fund in the past year gave over $600.00 to the reâ€" turned soldiers of the district who were in need. At the present time there are cases waiting to be given a helping hand. "By wearing a Vetcraft Poppy you are doing a double act of kindâ€" ness," is the wording of the window cards. The poppies are made by disâ€" abled soldiers in the Vetcraft and Red Cross shops, who thereby receive a little to help them along. The local Post of the Canadian Legion receiving the balance, the Relief Fund is augâ€" mented so that assistance may be given to returned soldiers who may require a helping hand. TAOSE WAO BUY PDOPPIS WILL HELP GO0D Saturday of Next Week is "Poppy Day" What the Day Means and Its Purpose and Usefulness According to word reaching here this week the Government has definitely given the order for the purchase of the Dr. Brown property at the corner of Pine street and Fourth avenue, and an adjoining strip of land with a frontage of forty feet to be bought from the town. This property which will have a frontage on Fourth avenue of seventy feet is being purchased as the site of the new post office for Timmins. Sevâ€" eral weeks ago The Advance announced that this was the site that it was unâ€" derstood would be purchused by the Government for the post office site but in recent weeks there seems to have been efforts made to have some other site chosen by the Government. When The Advance made the announcement some weeks ago it was confidently exâ€" pected that considerable work would be done in construction of the new building this year, but the difficulty encountered in making a choice of a site that would be agreeable to all has deferred actual building cperations unâ€" til now it is hardly probable that much progress can be made this year in construction work. The Advance is inâ€" formed by local Liberal party workers in touch with the Government that the order has been definitely made for the purchase of the site of the corner of Pine and Fourth. It is also possible Word Received Here This Week is That the Post Office Department Has Given the Order for the Purchase of the Dr. Brown Property and an Additional Forty Foot Frontage from the Town. Post Office Site Now Said ‘Q to be Definitely Selected aid Circulation Last Week Wednesday evening next, Nov. 7th, there will be a whist drive and dance under the auspices of the Caledonian Society of Timmins, in aid of the Christmas Tree fund. The event will be <cheld in the Hollinger Recreation hall commencing at 8.30 p.m. All Scottish people are invited to attend. A principal feature of the pleasant event will be the presentation of the cups for the past season to the winners and runnersâ€"up in both the Fraternal and the Ostrosser Leagues. The cups will be on display in Halperin‘s winâ€" dow over the weekâ€"end. WHIST DRIVE AND DANCE BYX CALEDONIANX SOCIETY The new post office building for Timmins will be a good one and creditâ€" able to the town. The building will occupy the full frontage of 70 feet, and will be an imposing structure. It is understood that it will have accomâ€" modation for the customs office and other federal offices for the district, as well as providing longâ€"needed post office facilities here. Band Concert Sunday In Goldfields Theatre The second indoor band concert for this season is scheduled to be held in Goldfields theatre, after the church services on Sunday, Nov. 4th. A very attractive programme has been preâ€" pared. It will include band selections that will please, and vocal and inâ€" strumental numbers by gifted local arâ€" tists. The first indoor band â€"concert this season, held a couple of weeks ago, made a decided hit on merit, and it is to be expected that there will be a full house Sunday evening after the church services, and that all will be wellâ€"pleased with the programme. that excavation work may be started at once and that some progress may be made before the new year. It is not likely however, that all of the approâ€" priation of $30,000.00 will be used this year. The purchase price of the lots will no‘doubt be spent at once and in the next couple of months there may be something also for preliminary work of construction. It is understood of course, that the $30,000 appropriaâ€" tion passed last session was only a preâ€" liminary vote and that the new post office would cost several times that amount. It was hoped that before the next session of parliament the prelimâ€" inary appropriation would be expended and enough progress made that the amount necessary to complete the work would be voted. The delay in the choice of the site, however, has altered the situation, though all hope that the work will be hurried to completion.
