ILhe ressmurant at Porquis Junction. Englehart and other points were for many years conducted by the Stevens Catering Co.. of which Arthur Stevens of Cochrane, was the director. ° With the beginning of the new year the T. N. O. Railway took over the conduct of all the restaurants, nows stards, etc., in stations along the line. On Friday evening of this week, Jan. 10th, the Timmins Juniors will enterâ€" tain Monteith. Anyone who thinks that the Monteith lads can not play hockey should take a course in better guessing. The Timmins lads, howâ€" ever, will be in fighting trim for this game and out to win their second game from Mcontsith, the latter team being classed by some as the dark horses of the group. It is understood that th> Monteith team is a fast and heavy hitâ€" ing aggregation, asd that they will put up a brand of hockey that will mean stepping out ito beat. The gams toâ€" morrow night is expected to be a liveâ€" ly one with interest in every minute. In this first game of the ssason, both teams made an excellent showing, and the common opinion is that the fans are going to see some very hockey this season in this group of the Junior N.O.H.A. Both teams apâ€" peared on Monday evening to be fairly evenly matched, and that always makes for good games from the spectators‘ viewpoin‘. Although the isa was a trifle sticky Monday evening both tsams showed some fins ruching and excellent combinatign play, which auâ€" gurs well for the brand of hockey that will be dished up by the teams on hard ice. E. Porter went the length of the ice for the third counitar for the Falls. Shortly afterwards Bennett end F. Walsh ccmbined in nics work and made is four for Iroquois Falls. This tied up the game and both teams went at i; full force to @ttempt to break the tic. Thers was lots of combination shown by both iteams. With only about ons minulte to go, Doran took a pas at his own blue linse, ouiskated the FPalls‘ forwards and rounded the Porter Bros. defence, going right in on Walsh for a perfect shot to tmns corner of the net, making the fiftlh and winning gcial for the CGoldâ€"diggers The Paperâ€" makers came on fast for the last minâ€" ute of play but were not equal to the tatk of tieing up the score. The periâ€" od cloced with the final scoro:â€"Timâ€" mins, 5; Iroquois Falls, 4. The third perisd open:d with the Falls pressing hard to even the count, while the Timmins lads were fighting desperately to retain their lead. On a beautiful rush S. Porter secored the secend goal for the Falls, and things then began to look really interesting and exciting. Both teams were now checking clocely ‘nsitiner team getting much past centre ics. Finally, Charblebois broke away and catching the Falls‘ defence unprepared, roundâ€" cd them and gave Walsh no> chance. That was four goals for the Timmins lads. Play now was fast and furious. The second period opened. with a little more pep being shown by both toams, a@lthough the ice was sticking ssme. Goo1l combinaticn was the orâ€" der for bo.h teams, which ended finâ€" aly in Michaelson getting the Goldâ€" diggers‘ second from a closeâ€"in which gave Walsh n> chance. Play continutâ€" ed with the Papermakers pressing hard to even the score, but they were deâ€" nied, as Richer pushed the dist past Walsh from a scramble in front of the Iroquois Falls net for the third counter for Timmins. The period ended without further scoring. Timâ€" mins, 3; Iroquois Falls, 1. The game opened fass with the Paâ€" permakers going right in on the Timâ€" mins net. After two minutes of play Bennsett scored with a perfect shot from the right boards. Play continuâ€" ed even for a time. With 15 minutes gone Eward rucshed and shot, Michaelâ€" sonm pushing in the rebound to tie the score up. Balance of the period was fairly even with neither side making any further score. The period ended, Timmins, 1; Iroquois Falls, 1. In the opening game of the Junior N.O.HA. at Iroquois Falls on Monday of this week, the Timmins Juniors won from Iroquois Palls, the final score being 5 to 4. Iroquois Falls has a classy team this season, but the Timâ€" mins lads keenly contested the match from the start and in the dying moâ€" ments of the game went after the Iroâ€" quois Palls lads to such effect that victory came to the Timmins banner. The showing made by the Timmins lads in this opening game has roused much interest in junior hockey here. The ‘teams lined up as follows:â€" Iroqucis Falls:â€"S. Walsh, goal; S. Porter and R. Porter, defence; Wilkes, centre; Bennett and H. Walsh, wings; Lefebvre, Lalonde and Larsen, alterâ€" nates.

PAID CIRCULATION LAST WEEK 2817 2 Sections â€" 12 Pages On Saturday last there were two rinks over from South Porcupine again in an effort to lift the T. N. O. cup. Apparently South Porcupine is deterâ€" mined to keep on trying until this trophy is lifted. Certainly, they came very close to doing the trick on Saturâ€" day, losing only by 2 points. The Timâ€" mins rinks, skipped by Mayor Drew and Crown Attorney Caldbick, put up a defence forâ€"the hoiding of the trophy here that could not be overcome.

Btromberg, has joined the proâ€" vincial force. One of the chief items of business before the ladies on Monday evening was the matter of discussing arrangeâ€" ments for the big Valentine Dance to be held in the McIntyre Recreation hall, Schumacher, on Wednesday evenâ€" ing, Feb, 12th, under the auspices of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion. The mine rescue stationsâ€" are the reâ€" sult of recommendations made by the royal commission thiat investigated th> Hollinger fire disaster of 1928. The recommendations were approved genâ€" erally by the legislature at its session last year, but the complete enabling legislaticn was deferred until the sesâ€" sion this year. At the coming sesion legislation providing for the erection of the provincial rescue stations at Timmins, Kirkland Lake and Sudbury will be brought before the house and enacted. In the meantime the stations have bean proceeded with to serve thns three big mining camps of the North. The conistruction of the stations and the equipment of the same has been carried along by money advanced by the Workmen‘s Compensation Board. Despatches from Toronto this week referring to the mine rescue stations say that the purpose of the stations is to train rescue teams at the various mines. Each station will be equipped with 12 sets of breathing apparatus, 12 allâ€"service gas masks; one H. H. inâ€" halator; three monoxide detectors, and a full complement of selfâ€"rescuers with accessory apparatus. There will be an official in charge of each, both night and day. Training will be so arrangâ€" ed, that in the event of a min2 disasâ€" ter it will be possible to summon rescue crews from all three staticns. The Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Legion met in the Oddfellows‘ hall on Monday evening of this week, with the presiâ€" dent, Mrs. D. Maxwell in the chair. A feature of the meeting was the fact that there were fifteen new members for the occasion, this showing the growth and popularity of the Auxiliary at present. FIFTEEN NEW MEMBERS AT MEETING OF AUXILIARY The provincial mine rescue station is now established at Tix}lm‘ms with Mr. Austin Nefgme in charge. The equipâ€" ment is Rouse@‘in #"new building.erectâ€" ed at the rear of the fire nall on land given by the town for the purp:s>. The arrangements for making the now work effective are now beint perfectâ€" ed. There is a general opinion that Mr. Neame will prove a most capable man for the direction and conduct of the provincial mine rescue staticn and that the plan of the Depariment of Mines in this particular will prove of great value to the safety of workers at the mines of the province as well as assigsiing the mines in guarding the safety of the men employed.

PAID CIRCULATHION LAST WEEK 2817 2 Sections â€" 12 Pages A gentleman, who has just returned from a visit to the south, states that the people of Timmins are to have opâ€" portunity for genuine musical treat in the visit here of the Imperial Welsh Choir, who will be in Timmins about the middle of next month, under the auspices of the Timmins Welsh Choir. This gentleman, who is a good judge of music, and who has heard many famous choral organizations, had the pleasure of hearing the Imperial Welsh Choir during his visit to the south, and he speaks in superlatives of the singing of this choir. One magnificent bariâ€" tone voice in the group especially took his fancy. This singer alone, he said, was worth twice the admission price to hear, having a powerful, rich voice of wide range, but so perfectly in control that it could not fail to please all music lovers. The voices of the choir comâ€" bined in perfect harmony and every selection given by them was a genuine delight. Recently the Ladies‘ Aid of the Unitâ€" ed Church held its annual meeting for the election of officers and other busiâ€" ness. The meeting was held at the home of Mrs. J. A. Howse, whose mother, Mrs. Alexander, that day had reached her 80th birthday. For many years Mrs. Alexander has been one of the most active and helpful of the working members of the Ladies‘ Aid, and on more than one occasion has held the presiding and other imporâ€" tant offices in the society. At the reâ€" cent meeting the members again honâ€" oured Mrs. Alexander and showed their appreciation for her good work and interest in the Ladies‘ Aid by electing her again as president of the society. Accordingly on her 80th birthday, Mrs. Alexander, who is as young as the averâ€" age woman thirty years younger, took up the duties as head of the Ladies‘ Aid for the year. Mrs. G. 8. Scott was elected viceâ€"president and Mrs. W. D. Watt, the secretaryâ€"treasurer for the ensuing year. With an active and able executive like this the Ladies‘ Aid may well look forward to a prosperous and progressive new year. again taken ill and forced to remain at home. Mr. Burke is making good progréess to recovery. o o PRESIDENT OF LADIES‘ AID ON HER 80th BIRTHDAY His many friends will be sorry to learn that F. M. Burke is again conâ€" fined to his home through illiness. After a couple of weeks‘ illness from a severe cold he was able to return to work at the store last week, but was to be a prize winner to add to the inâ€" terest of the show. The more entries the bettéer and the keener the compeâ€" tition the more pride there is naturally in the winning of places tn the list. It is something worth while in vieWw O the prestige built up by the Porcupine Poultry and Pet Stock Show, to be a prize winner or to receive mention at this annual event. sSPEAKS VERY HIGHLY OF IMPERIAL WELSH CHOIR The seventh annual show of the Porâ€" cupine Poultry and Pet Stock Associaâ€" tion will be held in the Boston hotel, opposite the Power Co. building on the corner of Second avenue and Pine street, Timmins, on Wednesday and Thursday of next week, Jan. 15th and 16th. This event is always an imporâ€" tant one for both poultry and pet stock fanciers and the general public and this year should be of particular interâ€" est to both exhibitors of fowl and petâ€" stock and to the people of the town in general. There is no doubt but that the poultry show has done a great deal to advance the interests of those raisâ€" ing poultry and those keeping any kind of pet stock. As a consequence, the annual exhibition deserves the support of all. The public may be depended upon to visit the show to view the inâ€" teresting collection of poultry and vet stock. The show in past years has been acknowleged by those in a position to know to be one of the leaders in its line. The prize list this year has good cash prizes for all classes of poultry, rabbits, canaries, dogs, cats, pigeons, etc. In addition there is an imposing array of specials, including cups and other trophies and special cash prizes and ribbons. Prize lists and full parâ€" ticulars may be obtained from the president, J. H. Skelly, or the secreâ€" tary, H. Parnell, or from any of the other officers of the society. A full list of the officers was published in The Advance last week. A special feature of the event this year will be the presence here during the show of a CGovernment expert for eggâ€"testing. This is a new feature that will likely prove of particular interest and value to those interested in poultry. Anyone having poultry or pet stock of any kind should add to the extent and value of the show by entering the same for exhibit. It is not necessary PRICE FIVE CENTS
