Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Kearns and {family left on Wednesday morning of this week for Montreal. They have been for many years esteemed residâ€" ents of Timmins and their removal from town will be much regretted. Mr. Kearns was foreman of the linemen for the Canada Northern Power Co. here, a position he held for ten years Elsewhere in this issue will be found an announcement detailing the purâ€" poses of the Children‘s Aid Society and the work for which the money is required. Those who are not familiar with the work of the C.A.S. may gather an idea of its scope from the outline in the announcement. The Iroquois Falls and Ansonville branch of the CA.S. is also staging a campaign for the District society, while Cochrane, Kapuskasing, Matheâ€" son and other centres will also do their part for the district work. The campaign will start on Tuesday morning of next week, Nov. 13th, and will be continued until the 22nd or vntil the area is completely canvassed. During the campaign Mrs. Karl Eyre vill have an office in the store of the I. K. Pierce Furniture Co., next to the CGoldfields theatre block, where canâ€" vassers can report on the progress made and turn in each day‘s receipts from the sale of tickets. New books of tickets and information required will be available to canvassers from Mrs. Eyre at this office which is availâ€" able through the kindness of the I. K. Pierce Co. The plan adopted is to raise the reâ€" quired amount by the sale of memberâ€" ship tickets. These tickets are to be . sold at $1.00 each and upwards,â€"as . much upwards as the canvassed per-} son can afford. The ladies will be ready to receive any amount from; $1.00 upward. Each subscriber will be | given a membership ticket, showing, the amount subscribed and bearing a' number, a stub with the same number being retained by the canvasser, this stub showing the subscriber‘s name and the amount subscribed. The purpose of the campaign is to raise funds for the District Children‘s Aid Society, to pay off the $1750.00 inâ€" debtedness on the Shelter account and to provide the funds necessary to conâ€" duct the work during the ensuing year. It is desired not to weary the public with frequent appeals, but to raise the funds from the whole district at this time so that further calls will not be necessary for a year or more. It is over a year and a half since the last appeal was made. Any other organizations or societies that will assist should get in touch with Mrs. Darling or Mrs. Karl Eyre. Other societies can be used with adâ€" vantage to make the work more comâ€" plete and finish the campaign at an earlier time without disturbing the plans already made, Mrs. Dr. Day has kindly agreed to look after the organization of Conâ€" naught Station and district.

Soldo is reported as doing very well at the hospital here. Her husband may also be said to be doing well, also, as he has so far escaped arrest, a warrant for his arrest having been issued some weeks ago. Myrs. Soldo has a fractured skull, a shattered jawbhone and other injuries. Neighâ€" bours found her suffering as described one morning about eight o‘clock. The woman‘s story was to the effect that the injuries had been inflicted by her husband Jos. Soldo. The assault ocâ€" curred several hours before the unâ€" fortunate woman was discovered lying in bed covered over with a blanket. It is thought that her assailant, beâ€" lieving her to be dead, covered her up and left her. If Soldo was the assailâ€" ant he had a good start before the inâ€" jured woman was discovered. At first it was considered that Mrs. Soldo could not possibily recover but she is making steady progress and each day shows much improvement. It is now believed that her chances of recovery are good. A warrant was issued for the arrest of soldo on charge of inflicting grieâ€" vous bodily harm, but the warrant has not yet been executed as Soldo can not be located. The Tisdale police and the Provincial police have been workâ€" INJURED WOMAN MAKING GOO0D PROGRESS TO RECOVERY The ladies who have agreed to do the collecting for Poppy Day can seâ€" cure boxes from Mrk McLauchlan, president of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary, on Friday evening from 8 to 10. Mrs. McLauchlan will be at the store of A. J. Shragge, Limited, Third avenue, beâ€" tween 8 and 10 tomerrow (Friday) night to give out the boxes. The use of the store for this purpose has been kindly given, and this convenient and central location will prove of much advantage to all assisting in the work. Poppy Day in Timmins is under the direction of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Legion and has been well organizâ€" ed. The ladies have done their part and all that remains is for the public to help the cause along. The ladies are giving their time to the good cause of collecting for the benefit of the soldiers, so the public should treat the collectors for Poppy Day with posâ€" sible consideration and resportd as generously as possible. Poppy Day is being held here on Saturday of this week, Nov. 10th, when poppies will be sold to help the soldiers. The poppies are made by disabled veterans and so part of the proceeds Saturday will benefit the reâ€" turned men employed in the making of the memorial flowers. The balance of the funds collected by the day‘s event will go to the relief fund of the Timmins Post of the Canadian Legion. This is another worthy cause, helping the returned men here who may cenâ€" counter illâ€"fortune and need little assistance. Last year the Legion paid out over $600.00 from their relief fund to help returned men who were in need. To provide for similar cases that may arise this year it is desired to raise a goodly amount now; hence the Poppy Day.

Keddie in his brief but comprehensive address, pointed out the necessity for taking occasionally a mental and spiritual inventory so that it might be known whether progress was being made or otherwise. This was as desirable in organizations like the Kiwanis Club as in business. Mr. Keddie said that at times some members had felt that the aims and Oobjects of Kiwanis were not as fully known and understood as might be desired, and that the object of the meeting was to review brieily the work that has been done in the past year with a view to inviting frank criticism on that work, either by way of criticism or favourable comment, both by members and nonâ€"members. The president read the aims of Kiâ€" wanis International, and the objectives aimed as for 1928â€"29. "Kiwanis Inâ€" ternational," he said, ‘"is now made up of a total of 1729 clubs, with a toâ€" tal membership of over 100,000. There is something inspirational in the fact alone, that scattered throughout the United States and Canada this vast army of men, linked up under the leadership of Kiwanis International, are ungrudgingly giving their time, thought and money to the betterment of the communities in which they live, giving special attention to child wel!â€" fare and better citizenship. Kiwanis has no dogma, and is undenominationâ€" al. All creeds and religions are alike in Kiwanis. Its qualification for memâ€" bership is a man‘s standard as a citiâ€" zen. For that reason alone the weekâ€" ly meeting together of the best and most representative of a community‘s business brains, on common ground, for the free and open discussion of problems of interest to all, and their working together for the solving of those problems, is an excellent thing in itself." There was an open meeting of the Kiwanis Club on Monday evening to which former members of the Kiwanis and all interested in the activities and purposes of the club, as well as the regular members were invited. The activities of the past year were reâ€" viewed in reports by the president, the secretary and the chairman of the various committees, and there was general discussion on the aims and purposes and the value of Kiwanis and the prospects for the future of the club. President, Secretary and Chairman of Commitfees Reâ€" view the Activities of Timmins Kiwanis. During the Past Year, at Meeting on Monday Even Much Enthusiasm Shown to Continue the Good Work: The annual meeting of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade will be held at New Liskeard on Tuesâ€" day, November 27th. The Associated Boards of Trade includes all the varâ€" ious boards of trade in the North Land and has accomplished much to the adâ€" vantage of the country. Several matâ€" ters of special interest will be on the programme for the meeting on Tuesâ€" day, November 27th, at New Liskeard, and a specially large and representaâ€" tive attendance is asked by President C. W. Wright, of Englehart. Mr. Wright has proven a very able and talented officer for the association and no doubt effort will be made to induce him to retain the presidency for anâ€" other year. The way to put this over would be to have a specially large atâ€" tendance at the annual meeting, for Mr. Wright has so much interest in the welfare and progress of the country and so earnest desire to advance the development of the North Land that attendance and interest at the meetâ€" ings of the Associated Boards> would make special appeal to him. He has a keen faith in the power of the Assoâ€" ciated Boards to help the country and | a clear perception of the many ways | in which help may be given by comâ€"| bined groups of business men and proâ€" 3 Kiwanis Club Doing Good Work in Timmins in Many Ways fessional men loyal to the district Associated Boards of Trade Annual Meeting Mr. Geo. Lake reported on the acâ€" ’ tivities of the sports committee during ! the year and the plans for further work ! in this line in the future to encourage | clean amateur sport and increase ' health and good sportsmanship among , the boys. Rey. J. D. Parks inspired all with his address on the work for boys and for underprivileged children. He sugâ€" gested the desirability of considering some plan to have an organizer for all the boys‘ work in the town. He showâ€" ed the value of the work for boys alâ€" ready in progress here by many inâ€" dividuals and organizations and thought the need warranted further organized effort to be able to reach all boys. Mr. W. O. Langdon reviewed the visits here of outside delegations and what the Kiwanis Club had done to assist in this line for general advantâ€" age. Mr. Harry Jackson reported on the playgrounds and his review was very interesting as showing one good line of Kiwanis effort. Mr. Vinzent Woodbury, chairman‘ of the programme committee, gave a list of the speakers during the year and the other attractive items on the proâ€" grammes for the luncheons. need of medical and surgical attenâ€" tion, in families who could not afâ€" ford the services of a physician, were attended to gratis by the professional members of our club and in case hosâ€" pital attention was needed they were given the treatment when necessary, through the coâ€"operation of the town council and other organizations." The visitors to the club during the yvear, the dental health work, the theatre nights, the luncheons, the interest shown in athletics, and a score of other ctivities were mentioned by the secreâ€" tary. After hearing his report it was easy to realize the value of Kiwanis to Timmins, and this value was furâ€" ther demonstrated by the reports of the several chairmen. The secretary mentioned the highâ€"class concerts presented here under the auspices of the Kiwanis, the carnival and fancy skating last March, the Graveyard Shift Review, the Hallowe‘en event last week, and many other matters. The value of the visits from members of the district clubs was also touched upon. The secretary gave a number of examples where Kiwanis had been of practical henefit and value in many ways. Saturday of next week, Nov. 17th, is the date selected by the Victorian Orâ€" der of Nurses for their tag day to raise funds for the succes§fu1 carrying on of this good work. Saturday of next week tag sellers will be around and, despite the fact that there are many calls just at this time, everyone who can do so should buy a tag as the purâ€" pose is a very worthy one. The V. O. N. provides a special nursing service that is of comsiderable value. It is operated on the broad plan that all who can afford to pay the regular V. O. N. rate per call should do so. Those who can onily pay a part of the regular rate may do so and so retain their feeling of independence and selfâ€" support. For those who cannot afford to pay at all, the service is still availâ€" able. To finance this sort of a plan, funds are necessary, and it is for this the tag day is being held. Miss Eliott, V.O.N. nurse, gave excellent service here amfl won much appreciation. She is now convalescing from recent illâ€" ness, during which time her place has been very capably filled by Miss Stevens, V. O. N., Cochrane, who has pleased all by her capabilities and her interest in the work. Saturday of Next Week to be Tag Day for V.0O.N. Messrs R. Valliant and D. Charles, expert switchboard men of the Norâ€" thern Electric Co., Toronto, are making satisfactory progress in the work of changing over the switchboard at the Northern Telephone Co., from its preâ€" sent quarters to the new premises in the Power Co. building, top storey. PROGRESS BEING MADE IN CHANGING PHONE BOARD Followed by the good wishes of hosts of friends the young couple left on the noon train for Kapuskasing. The bride‘s goingâ€"away dress was a smart frock of golden brown crepeâ€"backed satin, trimmed with ecru lace, with brown suede shoes, and stockings to match. She wore a closeâ€"fitting twoâ€" toned velvet hat and muskrat coat. Mr. and Mrs. Caldbick will be at home to their friends in Kapuskasing on or about Dec. 15th. The bridesmaid, Miss Helen Caldâ€" bick, sister of the groom, preceded the bride, in a bouffant dress of maize chiffon, with closeâ€"fitting green felt hat. She carried a sheaf of bronze ‘mums. During the signing of the register Mrs. J. R. Todd, of Schumacher, sang "Because," in a very lovely manner. Mrs. J. W. Faithful played the accomâ€" paniment. Timmins United Church, beautifully decorated with ferns and tall standâ€" ards of golden and white ‘mums, was the scene of a pretty autumn wedding, when Ruth Wilhelmina, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Johnson, of Timmins, and Joseph Smith Caldbick, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Caldâ€" bick, of Haileybury, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, Rev. J. D. Parks officiating. To the strains of Lohengrin‘s wedding march, played by Miss Ada Graham, the bride entered the church, on the arm of her father. The dainty girlish bride made a winâ€" some picture in her period gown of ivory satin, with fitted bodice and long skirt, with which she wore matching hose and silver slippers. Her veil was of silk net embroidered with pearls and was attached to a bandeau of seed pearls and orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of Ophelia roses and lilyâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"valley. Mr. Sam Caldbick supported the groom. Immediately after the ceremony a dainty wedding breakfast was served to the immediate friends and relatives of the bride and groom at the home of the bride‘s parents at 54 Balsam street, south. The bride and groom were the reâ€" cipients of nany beautiful gifts, tokens of the esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Caldbick â€" are held. Several showers were given in honour of the brideâ€"toâ€"be in the past week or two. The groom‘s gift to the bridesmaid was a Roman gold bracelet; to the groomsman, a Parker pen outfit; to the organist, a dainty pearl necklace; and to Mrs. Todd, a silver card case. FOPULAR COUFLE WERDED At UNITEO CHUCH HERE Marriage on Wednesday ¢f X of Miss Ruth Johns an Jos. 8. Caldbick Settlers to Have Work on Roads During the Win A. F. Kenning, M.P.P., Directs Attention of the Premier to Conditions and Solution is at Once Commenced. Settlers Who are in Need Through Failure of Crops This Year Will Have Work During Winter in Gravellâ€" ing Operations, Etc. | As noted in The Advance last week Mr. A. F. Kenning, M.P.P., had taken up with the Government the matter of some sort of asistance for the farâ€" mers and settlers who have been so | much handicapped this year through | the impossibility of saving the crops, on account of the unusual amount of rain. As many here know, only a very i small percentage of the crops could be saved. Many settlers find themselves facing a desperate situation through the conditions arising from the year‘s weather. Some are actually on the point of facing actual starvation or moving from the land altogether. The settlers are not asking for charity. All they need and all they ask is for a chance Ao keep going. Their everâ€" present need is for roads, and the reâ€" |medy for their present unfortunate | position seems also to lie with roads and more roads. Mr. Kenning recogâ€" nized this fact and worked out a plan which he presented last week to the Government. This plan is that the Government do consxderable roadwork this winter, and especxally in the placâ€" ing of gravel along roads to be repaired Mr. Kenning last week in a personal interview with Hon. G. Howard Perguâ€" son found the premier very sympatheâ€" tic. The premier assured Mr. Konâ€" ning that the Government would do all possible in the matter. There will be considerable roadwork and much gravelling done and the necessary work in connection will be given to settlers as much as possible. Under the present plans work will be carried on wherever settlers~need the work and wherever the roads require attenâ€" tion. Preference will be given to tne settlers in cases where they are ready to take work distant from their homes. Hon. Mr. Finlayson is also coâ€"operatâ€" ing in the matter, and at present his department is preparing a list of loâ€" calities where winter gravelling and other roadwork can be done when the snow is on the ground. The engineers and inspectors of the Northern Ontaâ€" rio Development Dept. are preparing this list, and the programme for the winter will be drawn up when the inâ€" formation is available. Mr. Kenning‘s suggestions include the idea that where gravel is not conveniently availâ€" able it should be shipped in by train and deposited at convenient points along the roads, ready for use in the spring. In cases where it would not be practical or economical to spread the gravel during the winter, Mr. Kenning favours the plan of depositâ€" ing it at convenient places, all ready for an early start in the spring. Mr. Kenning told The Advance that the premier is certainly very deeply interâ€" ested in the matter and has madse up his mind that the settlers of the North are going to have a good chance to secure work to keep going this winter. Mr. Kenning feels certain that the Government will handle the situation in effective way. The ladies‘ class for first aid will be on Monday at 7 p.m. in the town hall. Arrangements will be made later for homeâ€"nursing classes. All ladies have to have first aid class certificate before the homeâ€"nursing course can be taken. Meéen‘s first aid classes, under the auspices of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, and with G. Debney as inâ€" structor, have been changed from Wednesday to Sunday at 2.30 u.m. in the skating rink From present indications it would seem that much work will be done on the roads of the North Land this winâ€" ter. This will mean a double benefit. It will provide work for the settlers who have been sufferers from the weather that spoiled the crops, Andi it will mean more and better road: which is just what the North need most. MEN‘S FIRST AID CLASSES CHANGED FROM WEDNESDAY It is understood that new machines are to be added to the roadâ€"making equipment, including gravel crushers and other upâ€"toâ€"date machinery. There will be work on especially extended scale for teaming, and in all cases the settlers will have the preference in securing this work. During the winter it is understood that much work will be done on the Ferguson highway, and what may be classed as local roads will also come in for special attention. On the highway, it is likely there will be quite a bit of work done on the stretch from Latchford to Cobait. Also several strips between Englehart and Cochrane will have extra work done on them. The bad piece near Ramore, so much improved by work done this summer, will be further benefitted by attention given this winâ€" ter, it is expected. There is also reports to the effect that work will be done in the comâ€" pletion of the highway from Cochrane to Kapuskasing. 20
