TTMMINS oNTAPRPIN day was an unusually interesting one. The speaker for the day was Karl Eyre, who spoke on life in the Royal Northwest Mounted Police in the Arcâ€" tic where he spent two years. His adâ€" dress was one of the most interesting and informative that the Kiwanis Club has enjoyed for some time. He gave a racy and instructive account of life in the Far North, and his address was greatly appreciated. There was so much of interest and information in his address that The Advance is reâ€" serving an extended report of it for next week‘s issue. Among the visitors for the day was Rev. Dr. Noyes, who was introduced by Rev. J. D. Parks. Rev. Dr. Noyes gave a talk on China and the Chinese people, emphasizing the trade opporâ€" tunities for Canada in the Orient. He has a very intimate acquaintance with the Chinese people and spoke of them in highest terms for their many fine qualities. Rev. Dr. Noyes remarked on the warm feeling entertained by the Chinese generally for the Canadian people. There was general regret that Dr. Noyes had not sufficient time at his disposal to give an extended adâ€" dress as his remarks were so interestâ€" ing and enlightening. The committee on the Hallowe‘en event reported the progress made and the plans being worked out. The next meeting oi the Kiwanis is to be held Monday night at 8 p.m. in the Masonic hall. The meeting is to consider ways and means for the extenâ€" sion of Kiwanis activity in Timmins. All members are urged to attend, and also all former members and all imterâ€" ested in Kiwanis are invited to attend. The programme for the evening will include reports of committees, discusâ€" sion of plans for the coming year, music, refreshments, etc. _ Miss Violet Pecore left Timmins month ago to visit friends at Riviere de Loup, Quebec, and other points south andâ€"east. A letter received from her at her home here the other day said she was leaving Maine, U.S.A., for Now York, and would be home again shortly.

On Saturday last the Northern Development Dept. announced that the Sudburyâ€"North Bay highway, which had become impassable through flioods, was open again for motor traffic. The engineers were able to release the waters of the Veuve river and the water quickly receded from the roadâ€" way, and the stretch of road was at once repaired to accommodate traffic. In the meantime, however, a number of motorists were stranded on the highâ€" way and had to ship their cars by freight. James H. Sullivan, employed as a tie trimmer at Campbell‘s mill, near Sudâ€" bury, met death last week by an odd accident. A railroad tie slipped down on him and threw him against the circular saw which cut off his right arm and ripped open his body from shoulder to hip. Death was instanâ€" taneous. Sullivan was standing close to the saw and did not see the tie fall. He is survived by a young widow and a little daughter, the latter having the misfortune to have her hand cut off by a train this summer. The fancy dress ball under the ausâ€" pices of the Timmins Post of the Canadian Legion, in the McIntyre hall, Schumacher, on Tuesday evening, was a very pronounced success in every way. The big hall was not large enough for the cig crowd turning out for the event. The event itself was most enjoyable and successful. The costumes were many and excelleni The music was by Tommy Stephens‘ orchestra and like the refreshments and all other features was up to the best standards.
