The mild weather last week interâ€" féred with road work and work in the bush in this North. Accordingly, the colder weather this week was welcomed for business reasons and well as because it was more seasonable.

In acknowledging the presentation Mr. Williams told of a wonderful chance he had carelessly missed recentâ€" ly when he had noticed a book adverâ€" tised in the Kiwanis Magazine for only 50¢c. He had rot sent for the book. which was guaranteed to give a suitable as Mr. Williams should not be allowed to leave the camp without some tangâ€" ible expression of the regard in which his good services had been held. Due ito Mz#. Williantg own ‘attitude the Children‘s Aid Society could not do anything in this regard as a society. ’Mr. Williams had been most persistent in insisting that every cent of money and every ounce of effort of the C.A.S. should go to the children. He would ‘not agree even to purchase of milk for youngsters who were not wards, as that 'opened the way indirectly to assistance to adults. which was not the purpose of the society. It was the same with boots and clothing for youngsters not wards, as Mr. Williams held that the Children‘s Aid was directly and indiâ€" rectly concerned only with the childâ€" ren. Mr. Williams, however, was never known to let any child he knew of go without milk or clothing, â€"he was known often to pay for milk and clothâ€" ing in needed cases out of his own pocâ€" ket. Just as Mr. Williams had thus gotâ€" ten around his own rule, so those inâ€" terested in the work for children felt they should find a way to express in some tangible manner the regard and appreciation in which he was held for what he had done for the welfare of the youngsters. He had been prominâ€" ent in establishing the Children‘s Aid in Timmins and largely instrumental in forming the District Soriety. To both he had contributed more than any other single individual to the success otf the work. He was the first president of the Timmins C.A.S., and with the exception of one year he had been preâ€" sident ever since. He had taken a very important part in keeping the District CA.S. a helpful and successful soâ€" ciety. . As chairman of the building committee of the Shelter, he had in that home monument to his kindly heart and his clear head. The Kiwanis president had said he would be much missed in town; by none would he be more missed than by the Children‘s Aid. A young lady from the Shelter, little Julia Jemmuth, then presented Mr. Williams with a gold pen and pencili set, engraved with his initials, The litâ€". 1 tle girl made a big hit by her modesty‘ and charm. Presentations to Messrs. _C.G. Williams and V. H. Emery | The luncheon of the Kiwanis Club on Monday at the Empire hotel was a |specially interesting and pleasing one, the only matter for regret being the fact that a chief business of the day Iwas to give farewell wishes and apâ€" preciation to two members of the club who had taken a prominent and helpâ€" | ful part in the activities of the organizâ€" ation and in every other good work for the progress and bénefit of the town, but who are soon to leave Timmins to , tion from the lodge to the work of the \ two members, Messrs C. G. Williams iand V. H. Emery, have taken so imâ€" | portant a place in the town for so many years and have won such general apâ€" preciation and regard, that their exâ€" pected departure could not be viewed otherwise than with deepest regret. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO G. A. Macdonald, president of the District Children‘s Aid Society, thankâ€" ed the president and members of the club for the opportunity given to exâ€" press appreciation of Mr. Williams. The fact that in the recent campaign for funds for the Children‘s Aid Society there had been well over 1000 individuâ€" al subscribers in the Porcupine area showed that the interest in the youngâ€" sters was very general in this town and district. Accordingly, it was felt that a man who had done as much for the advancement of Children‘s Aid work President C. G. Keddie occupied the chair for the day and carried on proâ€" ceedings with his usual efficiency and despatch. After the visitors had been introduced â€"and welcomed, and after several popular community songs had been enjoyed, the president explaincd that the chief business of the meeting was to express appreciation for Messrs Williams and Emery, and he called on a number of those present for brief addresses in regard to Kiwanians Wilâ€" liams and Emery. During the luncheon, Messrs Williams and Emery were each presented with a handsome Parker pen desk set as a mark of appreciation from the Kiwanis Club, while a nuimber of speakers reâ€" ferred to the goodfellowship and fine citizenship of these two gentleman, the sincere appreciation for what they had done for the club, the town and every worthy purpose and the deep regret of all at their expected departure from Timmins. The event was also made the occasion for a presentation to Mr. Williams of a pen and pencil set as a special reminder of the appreciation felt by those interested in work for the children, who knew the great debt owed to Mr. Williams for the time, money, effort and interest he has givâ€" en the cause in this district. A speciâ€" ally pleasing feature of this presentaâ€" tion was the fact that the actual preâ€" sentation was made by one of the litâ€" tle girls from the Shelter, who was the guest of the Kiwanis Club for the ocâ€" casion. Marks of Appreciation Shown at Kiwanis Club on Monday for Two Fine Kiwanians and Good Citizens. Those Inâ€" terested in Work for Children Give Token of Appreciaâ€" tion for Mr. Williams‘ Interest and Effort for Youngsters. | _ On behalf of the Kiwanis Club Messrs |C. G. Williams and V. H. Emery were f then presented with very handsome Parker desk sets. Mr. Emery was callâ€" ‘ed upon first to reply and expressed his |deep appreciation of the token given \ and the kindly words spoken. His asâ€" sociations in Timmins and district hag | always been most pleasant and he felt it quite a difficult thing to think of severing the many friendships formed. : Never again, he thought, would he have : the good fortune to find as many good fellows gathered in the one place as he had encountered in his stay in Timâ€" mins, All his associations here had ‘ been harmonious and pleasant and he would carry away especially happy reâ€" membrances of Kiwanis meetings and | similar events here. i Mr. Keddie in apt way referred to the | inadequacy of language to express exact meaning. The French language, had no ‘equivalem for the word so beloved of those whose nagivn tongue was English, i â€"the word, "home." On the other hand the English language had no word ?to express the "Au Revoir‘" of French. Messrs Williams and Emery leave here early in the New Year for Toronto| where they are opening offices as conâ€"| sulting engineers. About 250 new grain elevators have been constructed in the province of Alâ€" berta in 1928. These elevators have a total capacity of 18,000,000 bushels. Rev. J. D. Parks touched on the facti that in a community like this seemed to be opportunity for making} better and truer friends than in some other places, but one of the sad thmgsl about a community like this was that because of conditions and cxrcum-l stances inseparable from towns of this| type, too often there came the call to say goodâ€"bye to fine fellows whom opâ€" portunity was calling elsewhere. All} would be sorry indeed to lose oldâ€"timers| of the camp like Messrs Williams and . Emery. "I feel that Timmins will seem just the same without them," he said. Rev. Mr. Parks referred to the work these two men had done for the‘ community, touching especially on thel help that Mr. Williams had always beens so generous in giving to all good causes. He joined all in wishing them all success| | and happiness in their new location Rey. Fr. Theriault spoke briefly but feelingly of his long friendship with Messrs Williams and Emery and what good fellows and good citizens he had found them to be always. They are alâ€" ways ready to help any good ‘cause, he said, and he endorsed fully what had been said of the special interest and effort given by Mr. Williams on behalf of the children of the district. Mr. C. G. Williams humorously sugâ€" gested that the partnership could not be considered as starting auspiciously when on the very first occasion V. H. let him down. "I impressed on him that he was to speak for both of us, but he hasn‘t said a word specially for me." ~â€"Mr. Williams in his usual efficient way expressed the pleasure he had talâ€" en in the Kiwanis meetings, the inspirâ€" ation drawn from them, and the deeyp appreciation he felt for the kindly tokâ€" en given. Mr. R. Dye, past president of tue Kiwanis Club, upon, and in opening his brief address he said i: would be felt by all that it was a sad thing to see two good fellows like Kiâ€" wanians Williams and Emery departing from the community. "Few here have been in this town as long as Charlic and Vic," he said, "and few have left their stamp upon the community so notably." He referred to the services they had both given to the work of the club and the various activities of the town. Both had long and valuable serâ€" vice to their credit and to the town‘s advantage as members of the schoo‘} boards here. In wholesome sports and in other more serious spheres both had contributed much‘to the pleasure and progress of the town and district, and they will be greatiy missed, indeed. Mr. Dye referred to the fact that Messrs Williams and Emery were opening ofâ€" fices as consulting engineers in Toronâ€" to and he felt sure their services would be of outstanding value because of their wide knowledge, long experiencee and intimate acquaintance with this country and its mines. He wished them all luck, prosperity and success in their new field. Their new comâ€" munity was to be congratulated on securing such citizens. They would be sincerely missed here. The hearty apâ€" plause that followed showed how fulily the Kiwanis Club endorsed all that Mr. Dye had said. address for any occasion. He felt the need of it now. He said he did not know how to express his appreciation for the handsome gift and particularly the spirit in which it was made. The charming little girl made the presentaâ€" tion all the more touching to him. He suggested that too much stress had been given to what he had dotme or tried to do, but he confessed that it was always pleasure to him to do anything for the youngsters. "Farewell" had too much of finality about it. In the case of two Kiwanians. Messrs Williams and Emery, the feeling was to bid them only good wishes till all should meet again as soon as posâ€" sible. will arrive with His Toys and Presents for Children of Timmins, Monday morning at 11 a.m. He wnll arrive at this store.
