Wednesday of next week, August 14th, is the date of the fifteenth annual picnic of the Oddfellows of the camp. For fourteen years past this event has been a popular feature of the summer‘s pleasures. In the most of the past vears it has been held at Golden City. Last year it was at South Porcupine. This year it is back again to the old popular place for the 1.0.O.F. picnicsâ€" Wilson‘s Farm at Golden City. ‘The programime O : novelities, etc., is alwaysâ€" one for the Oddfellows this year is not going t ception to ~ this rule. football matches will be ‘Timmins and South Por competing in these cont are two handsome cups fc and football matches.

The Rex Parlours were entered through a back window. The other placesâ€"A. Shaheen‘s store, Stewart‘s former store, and S. Bucovetsky‘s storeâ€"were enterâ€" ed in rather unusual way. In each case a large circle was cut from the plate glass in the door, the cutting beâ€" ing done close to the lock. Evidently the burglar cut the glass with a diaâ€" mond, knocked out the circle, and than reached in his hand and opened the lock. The locks on the doors are all of the nightâ€"latch variety that may be opened from the inside without a key. This was the second time within a few days that S. Bucovetsky‘s store was entered. On the previous occasion around $40.00 in cash was secured. This time, of course, there was no cash left in the store, as no firm is to be caught twice in that way within a short time. The burglaries were not disâ€" covered until along in the morning when someone passing noted the holes in some of the plate glass doors of the stores in the block. The police were notified and investigation was made at once, but no clue was available at the time as to the guilty party or parâ€" ties. The glass in the doors is very neavy plate and the chief loss through the burglaries is the cost of reâ€"placing the glass destroyed by the cutting.

Mtr. Ramsay kindly favoured the gathâ€" ering with a couple of solos that were greatly appreciated. Mr. Ramsay has a fine tenor voice of great range and under the most nerfect control and was the report in regard to the sucâ€" cessful Karnival held during the past week. The figures showed that the loâ€" cal club will net over $1000.00 from the pleasing event. This money is to be spent for the welfare work of the Kiâ€" wanis, especially in regard to underâ€" privileged children. There are several cases of need for assistance. A letter read at the luncheon from Dr. Harriâ€" son mentioned two such cases. One of these cases will be investigated to see what may be done by the Kiwanis. The other case is that a young boy who had his arm broken and through pecuâ€" liarity in the setting of the injured arm a nerve is affected, causing conâ€" siderable trouble to the lad. In this case Dr. Harrison and Dr. Russell kindly volunteered to do the surgical work necessary if the Kiwanis Clu» would look after the hospital costs, which the club will do as one of its immediate good deeds.

The swim is over a course of a mile and a half, going threeâ€"quarters of a mile out from the pier, rounding the bysoy that will be there, and swimming ack to the pier. There will be boats to follow the swimmers and a doctor will be on hand for any emergency. In brief, the swim will be conducted along the lines of the big marathon swims, and no details have been overâ€" looked. mers in the camp and this even Owing to the decidedly unfavoura weather on Sunday last it was fol necessary to cancel the Goldfield D Co.‘s big swim planned to be held Golden City on that date.

Another one of very grei importance to all returned soldiers at patriotic citizens was that of the co lection of war paintings by famous a patriot!¢ citizens was that Of UThe Ccolâ€" lection of war paintings by famous arâ€" tists, now lying in Oftawa, in crates,etc. The resolution submitted was one a~‘:â€" ing the Dominion government to placs this striking tribute of Canada‘s part in the Great War in a suitable building as a permanent memorial to those who served in the Canadian Army. Those paintings were secured at a great price and given to Canada as a memorial, but have since been placed to one side and are said now to be covered with dust. A further resolution will also come before the Dominion convention in regard to the same matter. The president said in reference to the great banquet held, that he had never seen such a reception given to any person as that given to Sir Arthur Currie when he entered the banquet hill, over 2,000 legionnaires rising to their feet and for fully ten minutes cheering their leader in France, as the corp commander, and now as president of the Canadian Leâ€" gion, B.E.S.L. Intermingling with his address, President Neame gave a few humourous incidents of the convention, but the one regarding the "Bugâ€"house" and the resolution that followed in its wake was the hit of the evening. Dr. Harrison in a short address placed beâ€" fore the members a few disturbing facts regarding the district. and proposed at the close a vote of thanks to the presiâ€" adent.
