SECOND SECTHON Timmins, Ont. , Ont. south Porcupine Sec.â€"Treas Box 428 Schumacher A pleasing aance will be held in the Hollinger Recreation hall on Saturday evening of this week, April 6th, under the auspices of the Cornish Social Club. Dancing will commence at 8.30 p.m. The music will be provided by Tommy Stephens and his orchestra. When the fire was nearing its height Haileybury‘s truck, with a number of men under Chief Joseph Marcella, a former Cobalter, arrived and rendered assistance in quelling the outbreak. Fortunately, the wind, which had been very high, dropped considerably, and as it died down, the danger to other buildings gradually lessened and the firemen were enabled to confine the flames to the doomed structures. CORNISH SOCIAL CLUB DANCE TO BE HELD SATURDAY, APRIL Mr. and Mrs. Zion and their childâ€" ren were visiting a neighbour when the alarm was turned in from box 35, and | there was no one in that building when | the fire was first observed. They lost . everything, furniture, clothing and the contents of the grocery store all falling , a prey to the fiames. The McGarry; family also will be heavy losers, as they had no time to save any of their beâ€" longings when they were driven into | the street. In the Korhonen property, | some trunks and other articles were rescued, but the pool room is a total | loss, as is aJsg most of the furniture' upstairs. : Originating from as yet an undeterâ€" mined cause in the apartments of Zion, the fire swept into the adjoining buildâ€" ing, forcing the McGarry family whose younger members were asleep, into the street in a hurried escape, and finally attacked the third building. Before long, all three structures were well in the grip of the flames and with the high wind which prevailed at the time, the brigade had a difficult task in preâ€" venting the fire from spreading to other homes nearby and separated by only a few feet from the blazing mass. Properties wiped out were those of Joseph Zion, who owned a grocery store and had living apartments aboyve; Kalil Ansara, of Kirkland Lake, the lower floor of whose building was vaâ€" cant, and where Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McGarry and their family occupied upstairs; and Mrs. Mary Korhonen. who conducted a Finnish rooming house and who had the downstairs rented out as a pool room. The asâ€" sessed value of these buildings is $2,300. A correspondent at Cobalt this wesk writes that in a spectacular blaze which lit up the night sky for miles, and which was not brought under control until three hours had elapsed, three twoâ€"storey frame buildings on Lang street, Cobalt, were destroyed, with practically their entire contents, in a fierce fire whith broke out shortly after 11 o‘clock Friday night. The loss, on an approximate estimate by Fire Chief Tom Belanger, will be over $8,000 Lang Street Swept by Blaze That Could be Seen for Long Distance. Stores and Other Buildings Burned THREE GOBALT BUILDINGS DESTROYED BY FIRE FRIDAY (From an Exchange) An Englishman touring in Scotland came across an old couple arguing in the road, and stopped to ask the cause of the dispute. "We‘re no disputin‘ at all," answered the man. "We‘re baith o‘ the same mind. I hae got half a croon in ma pooch, an‘ she thinks she‘s no goan to get it, and I‘m agreein‘ wi‘ her." One of the most attractive lists of outstanding pictures is booked for the Goldfields for the very near future. Not in a long time has the manageâ€" ment been able to arrange programmes for so many performances, and give the patrons such a variety of inspiring storâ€" es and serseen stars to portray them. Commencing this Friday and Saturday with one of the greatest love stories that Lillian Gish and Ronald Colman has ever played in you will see "The White Sister," a story that has thrilled millions and which has been brought back by popular demand to the screen. Following this wonderful picture, in order are:â€"Greta Garbo, in "The Diâ€" vine Woman"; Buster Keaton, in "The Cameraman"; John Gilbert in "Four Walls"; Conway Tearle and Dorothy Sebastian in "The Isle of Forgotten Women"; and Gloria Swanson in "Sadie Thompson." It will be well to remember that "Sadie Thompson" was taken from the story "Rain." Then there are also the following coming shortly:â€"Lon Chaney, in "While the City Sleeps"; Richard Barthelmess, in ‘"‘The Wheel of Chance," and the great "White Shadows of the South Seas." These pictures will all be shown during April, so one may be sure of a firstâ€"class performante any evening. Excellent Lineâ€"up of Pictures at Goldfields NO ROOM FOR ARGUMENT TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, APRIL 4th, 1929 "Moscow, March 25â€"Enraged peaâ€" sants lynched the president of the Asâ€" sociation of Handicraftsmen at Igolâ€" kino Village because they erroncously believed him responsible for the theaâ€" tre fire which took the lives of 114 persons, according to belated advices received here. The mob hurled the man into the fiaming ruins." Mob law is sometimes swift but it is usually cruel, unjust and vicious. As likely as not it picks on an innocent man and wrecks xengeance, this achâ€" leving nothing but further harm. An example of this is given in a recent issue of Fox News, which quotes the following news paragraph coming by cable:â€" J. Williams, câ€"0o Revillion Freres Trading Co. Ltd. Moose River Post, James Bay, Clute, Ont. March 23. NOTEâ€"My experience of James Bay has been all the way from Fort George on the east side down to Rupert House and up in the interior of Rupert River 300 miles and around Moose Factory. MOB THROW INNOCENT MAN INTO BURNING THEATRE If I can be of any use to you in reâ€" gards to giving accurate information about the conditions in the James Bay Country I will be glad to do so. Last week I came out from Moose Factory for the second time this winter and although there is not much snow rround here, I can positively state that there is 50 p.c. less at Moose Factory. The following address will find me until break up. In regard to extreme cold in James Bay I can assure you that if the comâ€" parative temperatures were taken, James Bay would have a few degrees in its favour. In regard to snowfall, I may state that in the winter of 1927â€"28 I made a trip from Moose Factory to here and back, and the amount of snow around Moose Factory was only 50 p.c. of what it was at Island Falls. I have been living in "James Bay" every winter except one since the fall of 1908, except for periodical trips to "Clute" which generally last a week, so I am continually in the country. At different periods during the last few years I have met many people from the southern part of Ontario, who have come into "James Bay" and have read articles on interviews that they have given to the newspapers after they arâ€" rive home, and in nearly every case false impressions must have been creâ€" ated in regards to conditions of the northern part of the province. Allow me to congratulate you on your editorial of March 22nd issue of the ‘"Northland Post." Interesting reference is made in a letter published last week in The Cochâ€" rane Northland Post in regard to the general idea held concerning the James Bay area, its climate and conâ€" ditions. ‘The letter is from a man who knows from firstâ€"hand knowledge whereof he speaks, so it is given hereâ€" with in full as written:â€" Editor, Northland Post: Says False Impressions Given of James Bay Area "Ah, good mornin‘ Mrs. Murphy, an‘ how is everythin‘?" "Sure, between my husband and the furnace, I‘m havin‘ one grand time uy it! If I keep me oye on the wan the other is sure to go out!" Under the heading, "One town where they are not afraid to make use of their high school," The Cochrane Northland Post reprints a small item from The Advance in regard to a dance to be held at the South Porcupine high school. The item, The Post says, should be of interest to Cochrane adâ€" vocates of a useful high school and also to the taxpayers who have to pay bills. The Post apparently favours the plan of using the high school buildâ€" ing for community purposes so far as practical. It is an excellent idea to make the high school building a sort of community centre, if such is needâ€" ed, and if the plan can be carried through without difficulties. It means that the community gets more value for the money expended on school buildings. When not in use for school purposes the buildings are useful for other community services. This is particularly true where there is not adequate hall accommodation elseâ€" where in the community. Where other halls are available, of course the case is different, and also where abuses creep in. The school building is not for the advantage of a few, nor can it fairly be so used. South Porcupine, however, has made excellent use of the high school hall for all sorts of good purposes from public dances to public meetings. The school hall lhi@rs met the need in the absence of other hall accommodation, and the result should be satisfactory to all cconcerned. This one is from the house organ, "Canadaink":â€" South Porcupine High School Community Centre The publication comprises 145 pages of tabulations and descriptive text arâ€" ranged in chapters, each dealing comâ€" prehensively with a specific phase of production, including under the headâ€" ing of cotton textiles, (a) cotton yarn and cloth, (b) cotton thread, (c) cotâ€" ton and wool waste, (d) batting an« wadding, and (e) cotton textiles not elsewhere specified, while under the heading of wooollen textiles are includâ€" ed (a) woollen yarn, (b) woollen cloth, (c) carpets and (d) woollen goods not elsewhere specified; hosiery and knit goods, silk gooc@s, etc. During the 10 year period the numâ€" ber of textile establishments in Canada increased by 27.4 per cent., capital inâ€" vestments by 66 per cent. and producâ€" tion by over 50 per cent. Copies o! the report are available on applicaâ€" tion to the Dominion Bureau of Statisâ€" tics. A review of the Textile Industries of Canada for the decade (1917â€"1925) forms the subject matter of a report just issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Revy. J. D. Parks, minister of the Uniâ€" ted Church spoke briefly on the death of the great marshall who led th>: united allied armies to victory eleven years ago this summer. In a specal address to the boys and girls of the congregation, many of whom were not born at the time of the meeting of the supreme allied council in the dark days of March, 1918, which resulted in Marâ€" shall Foch‘s appointment to the suâ€" preme command, Rev. Mr. Parks emâ€" phasized the work of the late generalâ€" issimo, and of the men he commanded. At the request of the minister the whole congregation aroseâ€"and stood in silent prayer for one minute, after which Kipling‘s great hymn of Empire, "Recessional" was sung. REVIEWING THE CANADIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY, ETC Band, paraded to the United Church for the purpose of attending a memâ€" morial service to the late generalâ€" issimo of the Allied armies on the western front during the Great War, Marshall Ferdinand Foch, who died after an illness of two months on March 20th at his home in Paris, France. After the memorial service in the church the veterans reâ€"formed and marched to the Timmins War Meâ€" morial, where President Austin Neame, of the Timmins Post of the Canadian Legion, laid a wreath on behalf of the exâ€"service men of the Porcupine camp.
