He will be here on 39 Third Avenue Fri. Sat., May 17th and 18th Penalty of T604 Exclusive Agents for Fashionâ€"Craft Clothes Priced from $29.50 up The new public library at Kirkland Lake has proved very popular. Since the doors were opened on Feb. 16th, there have ben 2,172 boks borrowed by members. The membership now totals 281. Mayor W. Charbonneau will be the official starter, and prominent citizens will handle the race at its different points. It had been intended to hold the event on June 3, the King‘s birthâ€" day, but as this is not a general holiâ€" day throughout the district, the change over to the previous Saturday has been made. This arrangement will enable outâ€"ofâ€"town teams from the north to return home on Sunday. The course to be covered will be entirely along the pavement on Ferguâ€" son Avenue and the Lake Shore road. The starting point will be the corner of Main Street, and Ferguson Avenue and the route will be north to about the end of the paved stretch near Lakeâ€" view Park, a distance of a half mile, and return. Boys under 19 years of age will be eligible for competition, and a shield or cup will be put up as a trophy. Enâ€" tries already have been received from Kirkland Lake, Englehart, New Lisâ€" keard, Cobalt and Halleybury, with the prospect that this list will be added to by at least two more teams before the day of the race. Under the auspices of The Haileyâ€" burian, a six mile relay race is to be run off at Halileybury on Saturday, June 1, and already teams from five different centres in the district have signified their intention of competing Other entries are expected later. The event, which will be open to teams of six boys each from any part of this district north from Cobalt, will be unique in that it will be staged enâ€" tirely within the town limits Each boy is to run one mile over the same course, each entrant starting and finâ€" ishing at the same point, where he will be relieved by his immediate successor. Holding Relay Race at Haileybury on June 1st Timmins, Ont. Blind River, Ontario, now â€" has a weekly newspaper of its own, the editors and owners being the Rickaby Brothers. Volume 1, Number 1 of The Blind River Leader was received at The Advance office this week and is a bright and wellâ€"printed sevenâ€"column, eightâ€"page paper. In its first issue The Leader says that Blind River ranks first among the North Shore towns in the matter of population and industrial activity. The Leader will do well itâ€" self and serve its community to adâ€" vantage provided the paper receives the full support of its constituency. Also it may be noted that ‘"The Blind River Leader‘‘ shoudl give opportunity to the paragraphers for puns and twists about Blind Leaders of the Blind, though naturally such a "joak," on account of the River, would be "all wet." Ken Donaghue won the $5.00, which Miss Tomlinson drew out of the holder. Tommy Stephens gave a very generous supply of the latest music, this being appreciated by all presert. The Lanâ€" cashire Football Club wishes to thank all those present and all who in any other way helped to make the evening both a financial and enjoyable success. BLIND RIVER NOW HAS A NEWSPAPER OF ITS OWN Those who attended the dance last Saturday in the Hollinger hall held by the Lancashire Football Club, were loud in ther praise of the manner in which the event was carried through. Only one thing marred the evening, this being the sand that was trampled on to the floor. This was an unfortunâ€" ate occurrence but the committee rectiâ€" fied it about halfway through the evenâ€" ing. The next whist drive by the Alâ€"Briâ€" tain Social Club will be held on Tuesâ€" day, May 21st, in the Hollinger Reâ€" creatino hall. The winners of this week‘s whist drive were>â€"Ladies, Miss E. Lowther, Mrs. A. Jopson, Mrs. S. Whittam; genâ€" tlemen, R. Gray, G. Jopson, N. Shone. LANCASHIRE FOOTBALL CLUB DANCE LARGELY ATTENDED ALLâ€"BRITAIN WHIST DRIVE EVENTS VERY ENJOYABLE THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO I agree with the statement made by the hon. member for South Temiskamâ€" ing (Mr. Lang) that there would be no communism in our section of the counâ€" try if labour were properly organized. The hon. member mentioned the word "capitalism." I hold no brief for the capitalist because I represent the minâ€" ers, but I must say in all sincerity that without capital our section of the counâ€" try would not have the prosperity and advancement we are »yperiencing at the present time. Following the words of the hon. member I really believe that the miners themselves are to be blamed. We have found it almost imâ€" possible to organize them because the man working at the Hollinger mine does not want to be organized with the man working at the McIntyre mine, and so on. The hon. member for Winâ€" nipeg North Centre was up in our secâ€" tion of the country a few years ago and he told the people at that time that orâ€" ganization was absolutely necessary. We have one organization in Iroquois Falis, and it is working quite well as the industry managers in that section of the country are satisfied to work in coâ€"operation with the labour element. The hon. member for South Temisâ€" kaming said that it was rather surâ€" prising we had not more communism in our section of the country, and I believe that the proper way to counterâ€" act any activities of that kind would be through proper organization. The hon. member for Winnipeg North Centre mentioned the lot of the miners in Northern Ontario. As a citizen of the Porcupine district I know of the conditions there and I believe the lot of the miner will compare favourably with that of any other worker in the industrial life of this .country. The minimum wage paid to the miner in that district ranges from $4.60 per eight hour shift upwards. Most of the Finnish people are working under contract and many of them make as much as $7 to $10 per day. Many of the miners in our section are directâ€" ly or indirectly interested in the mines, but that may not be a sign of prosperiâ€" ty; but in South Porcupine, Schumachâ€" er and Timmins a large proportion of the miners own their own homes, which is a sign of prosperity. The bank managers tell me that there are milâ€" lions of dollars in savings deposits which belong to the miners, so I believe their lot is a pretty good one. Mention has been made of the disâ€"| aster which occurred at the Hollinger mine in February of last year. Judgâ€" ment has been rendered and I believe every member of this house will bear me out when I say that it is a positive; fact that the company was not responâ€" i sible for that disaster. I happened to be in Timmins during that time and I! heard many fiery utterances which| were made against the management| and against the government, but I feel| sure that 95 per cent. of the populationi of that section of the country were satâ€" isfied with the verdict which was rendâ€"| ered after the inquiry had been held. l New legislation has been passed and: new means afforded for preventing a; similar disaster. ; That is all I have to say about this matter, Mr. Speaker, but I thought it was my duty to correct some of the statements which were made. Muskegee Phoenix:â€"Manufacturers of cigarettes have takes out the bite and the coughâ€"everything, in fact, but the boloney. I do not desire to make any extendâ€" ed comment upon the communistic paper which was published in the Sudâ€" bury district, but I believe that Judgâ€" ment has defeated its own ends; it has become a boomerang to communism. I feel sure that only a very few memâ€" bers of this house have read that little paper or knew about it before it was mentioned in this discussion. Mr. J. A. Bradette (North Temisâ€" kaming): Mr. Speaker, as I represent the Porcupine district, I think it is my duty to say a few words. I intend to be very brief, but statements have been made this afternoon which I believe should be corrected. I have in mind more particularly some of the utterâ€" ances made by the member for Winâ€" nipeg North Centre (Mr. Woodsworth) in referring to the contents of The Thunderer. As a Catholic, I say this paper should be permitted to carry on its propaganda because I believe it will make people of that faith better Catholics than they were before. I am convinced also that 99 per cent. of the Protestant population of Canada who happen to read that paper will become more broadâ€"minded than they were previously. In the House of Commons last week, Mr. J. A. Bradette, M.P. for North Temiskaming made brief but pointed reference to some addresses given by other members, notably by Mr. Woodsâ€" worth, M.P. for Winnipeg North Cenâ€" tre. Mr. Woodsworth had quoted from what appeared to be a bitterly antiâ€" Catholic publication called The Thunâ€" derer, and had seemed to argue that beâ€" cause this publication was allowed to talk roughly against the Catholic Church, Vapaus, the Finnish newspaâ€" per, should have been left to spout sedition if it wished. There was also a reference by Mr. Woodsworth to the Hollinger Mine disaster, the member being apparently under the impression that the disaster here had some conâ€" nection with communism. . Mr. Braâ€" dette‘s address as given by Hansard is as follows:â€" Member for North Temiskaming Repâ€" ties to References to Communism and Other Subjects MR. BRADETTE SPEAKS IN HOUSE ON SEVERAL TOPIGS The Deputy Supreme Dictator for Ontario of the Loyal Order of Moose, Gordon L. Nelson, of Hamilton, Ont., will visit Timmins Lodge 1658 next week. He will address an open meetâ€" ing of Moose members and their friends in the Moose hall on Friday evening, May 24th, at 8 pm. A very fine proâ€" gramme has been arranged after the meeting. All members of the local lodge should be sure to attend this imâ€" portant gathering .and bring their friends. BEPUTY SUPREME DICTATOR OF MOOSE TO VISIT HERE At the conclusion of the business the visiting delegates were entertained at a banquet in the Pacific Hotel. The Hon. G. Howard Ferguson troâ€" phy will be held by the winners for one year. In addition the Association will donate medals to the players on the winning team. No affiliations will be accepted after June 15th and all group winners must be declared by August 15. The Northern winner meets the Southâ€" ern Ontario winner for the championâ€" ship in home and home games. A letter was read from Premier Ferâ€" guson in which he stated that he was glad to furnish a trophy for annual competition. The Association will be divided into several groups with possible entrants: Soo City League; Nickel Belt League (Sudbury, Copper Cliff, Coniston, Capreol, Chapleau); North Bay City League; Northern Group (Iroquois Falls, Cochrane, Timmins); Central Group (Cobalt, Haileybury, New Lisâ€" keard, Kirkland Lake and Englehart); Eastern Group, (Chalk River, Pemâ€" broke, and neighbouring towns). Conveners: C. W. Kelly, North Bay City League; J. F. MacDougall, Soo City League; Miss M. Stevenson, Nickel Belt League; E. E. Wilton, Kirkland Lake Group; E. M. Little, Northern Group; F.

Little, Iroquois Falls; M.; T. Lee, Copper Cliff; ~H. B. Christie, North Bay. There were delegates present from many of the North Land centres on Saturday afternoon last at North Bay for the purpose of forming the Northâ€" ern Ontario Women‘s Softball Associaâ€" tion. The new association was duly formed and the election of officers for the Northern Ontaric Women‘s Softâ€" ball Association resulted in Mrs. Larâ€" den, of North Bay, being named as president. Mrs. Larden had given a large amount of time, effort and talent to the organizing of the new associaâ€" tion ai{1 if was largely lIthrough herkskill and mterest and the publicity that she was able to secure for the proposal that the Northern Ontario Women‘s Softball Association was eventually established. _ The other officers are:â€" Honorary president, Hon. G. Howard Ferguson; first viceâ€"president, Miss Jean Mattress; second viceâ€"president, Mrs. L. Kelly, North Bay; third viceâ€" president, Mrs. C. Kellett, Chalk River; secretary, Mrs. A. M. Fellman, North Bay:; asst. secretary, Miss Greta Finâ€" lay, North Bay; treasurer, Miss Stella Rumball, Sudbury. Officers Elected for New Association Premier Ferguson Presents Troâ€" phy for Play.
