See. yearâ€"was the case of the boy who has just returned from the Sgick Children‘s hospital at Toronto and who we hope will soon be able to run and play with o‘ther children. This is work that will appeal to the heart of every Kiwanian. I think that Immediate Past President Bill should be a proud man when hne looks back at the club‘s activities for the past year. I hope that when my term of office has expired, that I can leave it with the same feeling. Let‘s make a resolution not to miss lunchâ€" eonm in 1930, and to be on time.

N. Ross. It shows much fine work acâ€" complished â€" and capable financing. The statement may be ummarized as follows:â€" we can make Timmins club the big club of the Gistrict. The members we have are all tried and true, because the majority have been with this club since its inception, and with 2 foundation such as this, there is no reason why we can not accomplish anything we undertake. I wish to â€"express my apâ€" preciation of the good work done under Immediate Past President Bill‘s leadâ€" ership during the past Things are in good shape, and we are away to a goodâ€"start. Last year the club acâ€" complished a great deal. The playâ€" grounds were improved, and the wadâ€" ing pool was built to the great joy or many a little tot.

I feel that Timmins club, which is a link in the great chain of Kiwan‘s, has a heavy responsibility, and that we must live up to its high ideals and endeavour ito be of real serâ€" vice to our c>ommunity.

W. Rinn, president for 1929, handed over the conduct of the club to the new president, Karl Eyre. In his opening address to the club, President Eyre referred to the gcod work accomplished by the 1929 presiâ€" dent, and his references in~this regard are of s3 much general interest and inâ€" formation that they are given here practically verbatim.

He went overâ€" seas with the second Canadian batâ€" talicon and was seriously wounded at the battle of Ypres. He was appointâ€" ed ADC. to Majorâ€"General T. D. R.

When on opening day the members formally elect Col. Kidd as speaker, a new distinction will be added to a career that has been outstanding in the army and in politics. For Col.

At 40, he will attain an honour not gained by most of the previous incumbents unâ€" til they were past , the halfâ€"centvury mark. w It was as the spearhead of the C:râ€" servative forces in perhaps the bitterâ€" est battle ever they fought in Ontarc In the general election of thx‘ year, fought on the liquor controlâ€"prchibiâ€" tion issue, Col.

This past season New Liskeard refused ito take a back seat to the Sault. In this conâ€" nection the following paragraph from the lag issue of The New Liskeard Speaker explains itself:â€""A news desâ€" patch from the Soo states that a lady of that town found a nugget of gold in the ‘"innards" of a turkey which is supposed to have been grown on some Manitoba iturkey farm. The Scoite has nothing on a New Liskeard citizen who found two nuggets of the preciâ€" ous metal under similar circumstances. Local prospectors are getting quite exâ€" cited over the possibilities of discoverâ€" ing the source from which these gold nuggets have come." To this it may only be added that copper nuggets found in the crop of a turkey at New Liskeard wouid no doubt create greater excitement in the town that put N or what have you.

Around Christmas time The Advance made reference to the annual crop of gold nuggets found in the crops of turâ€" keys. There was supposed to be a gold rush started because of a gold nugget found in the crop of a bird being preâ€" pared for the Christmas table at Sault Ste. Marie.

It has happened nearly MAY HAVE TO START NOW DIAMOND DRILLING TURKEYS the library though he might have brokâ€" en all the other laws of the :and. This unique library, however, is now in danâ€" ger of radical change. Bears are no longer common in the district and the searcity of ‘these animials would naturâ€" ally mean a decrease in the new books secured for the Hilton Beach library. However, if bears l@are scarce, woives are numerous enough, and at present according to reports there is a propcsâ€", al to keep the library stocked with new books at the expense of the hiaes of wolves killed in the district. If this plan works out, the name of the librâ€" ary may be changed to the "Wolfiskin" library. Perhaps, such a change would mean also an agitation to remove th2 library from its present original type of quarters. One change always has the tendency to induce other changes. If the "Wolfskin" library is carried on it may well be hoped that there will be literally thousands of new books each year, for the more wolves killed the better for the game of the area. Toronto Mail and Empire:â€""Better to pay $1.25 "for an article made at home from Canadian materials and labour than $1 for one made somewhere else that leaves our men unworking and takes raw stuff away from homes," is the summary of the Edmonton Bulâ€" letin.

Joseph‘s Is‘land at Hilton Beach. The nmame "Bearskin‘ was given to the library on account of the manner of its establishment. Some years ago a hun‘ter, with literary tastes, and realizâ€" ing the benefit a library would be Hilton Beach, used the proceeds from the sale of a bear skin to purchase thse first volumes for this library. Other hunters followed a similar plan, being interested and amused by the idea, with the result that before long Hilton Beach hlad quite a respectable number of books. The community, however, had no public building suitable ts house a library, and from this difficu‘!â€" ty came the original touch of using the jail cells for library quarters. Such quarters for the books meant that the library would be safe. The cells were seldom used for ‘the confinement cf prisoners so there was apparently every reason to put them to the useful purâ€" pose of library uses. Accordingly the "Bearskin‘" library was housed in the jail cells, and bear hunters from tims to time added to the number of volumes while few prisoners came to disturb the library quarters. The keeper of the jail was the librarian and he duly imâ€" pressed upon the occasiona prisoner that the library was the most imâ€" pontant part of the dual duties of his office and on the other hand the very occaisional prisoner learned to repect Past Grand W.

Information from Temagami is to the effect that Palmenteer had been employed at the lumber camp of Clark and Lounsbury, five miles from Temaâ€" gami, but that he left there about the end of November, subsequently cashing Following the receipt of letter by Inspector Walter Moore at Cobalt from the young man‘s mother, Mrs. Palmenâ€" teer, of Gwilliamsbury, York County, his pay cheque at Lloyd‘s store, in Temagami. The man had been ill, apâ€" parently suffering from typhoid fever, as an outbreak of that disease, which caused one death, had taken nlac> at the camp. â€" His movements since reachâ€" ing Temagami are unknown at present, but it is believed he started for another camp and is probably working there. T is stated that Palmenteer was one of a party which came out from the Clark and Lounsbury camp on that particular day in November. Wea‘her conditions were stormy at the time, hut it is understood the trip was made international exchange.

At police court last week Dumas Charron, recently of Cochrane, found that he could not get away with this sort of thing. He was given six months in jail to impress the lesson on his conâ€" sciousness. Others tempted to sim‘lar action or lack of action should nc3 the case and avoid a similar fats t3 that of Charron. Charron lived his family at Fielding, but leoft his wife and several children at Fielding withâ€" out support or means Oof suppor. Eventually after much suffering and privation endured by the deserted wit2 and children the case came to the tention of the Children‘s Aid Soc‘ety. The family were cared for, while at the same time effort was made to locate the head of the house and induce h‘im to. carry on his responsibilitiee anmd support his family. Charron was loâ€" cated at Cochrane, but showed ni> d‘sâ€" position ito play the game. Apparcmn‘;â€" ly, for all he cared the family could starve. He was arrested on a charge of failing to provide the necessitiee of life for his family and brough to Timmins for trial,. At police court here on Dec. #ith, he asked for a r>â€" manmd so as to bring witnmnesses here i2 his behalf. The remand was granited but his case did not look any beftr There are some men who when they get a little lazy or tired just pick up and go away leaving their families w starve or be a charge on the commun‘â€" at the expiration of his prison tarm. In the meantime, â€"arrangemeniis were made for the care of the children. the prison term on Charron being paha9s more lenient on account of the fact that some of his relatives were willing to care for some of the children. last week when it came up again. Magistrate Atkinson impressed upon the man the responsibility that h: clearly had to provide for his wife and children, and the serious consequences of failure to do so. While Charron was sentenced to six. months in jail, this will not relieve him from the sponsibility of providing for his fam ly Man Who Left Family Destitute at Fielding Given Term in Jail.
