Platus, B.A. An extra special feature of the meetâ€" ing was the clever humorous turn put on by Harold Sheppard and Gerald Scully. ,They presented a regular barâ€" ber shop scene and dialogue. Gerald was the barber shaving Harold and both of them trimmed up each other verâ€" bally, their jokes and gags being esâ€" pecially amusing and effective. They roused very hearty laughter and won unstinted applause for a very happy turn, There were no barber shop jokes â€"that is, ones with whiskers on; they all were clipped short in modern fasâ€" hion and wer keewâ€"edged, bobbed to the latest modes, ,clean and sanitary. There was special appreciation for this feaâ€" ture. Two new members were duly welâ€" comed to the family circle of the club, these two being W. S. Macpherson and Frank Feldman. The visitor for the day was Mr. Reyâ€" nolds of the Hupmobile Motor Co. Arch. Gillies who was to have been the speaker for the day, was called out of town in the morning on business and so was not able to fulfil the engageâ€" ment at the club. G. N. Ross, chartered accountant and auditor, kindly took the place of Mr. Gillies for the occasion. Mr. Ross took as the subject of his adâ€" dress the science of accounting. He showed the strides forward that had been made in recent years in accountâ€" ing. The science of accounting had kept pace in material measure with the progress in other lines of activity in the world. Accounting toâ€"day was highly specialized. Practically every large conâ€" cern toâ€"day had a system of accountâ€" ing that was specially adapted to its own "particular needs and requirements. Mr. Ross commented on the fact that toâ€"day double entry had practically disâ€" placed single entry in bookâ€"keeping. Mr. Ross lightened his address by some humorous stories in connection with his subject, some amusing sidelights being given on peculiar ideas in regard to accounting as held by some people who had not a thorough grasp of the subâ€" ject. The indispensibility of accountâ€" ing in business was referred to and the value of the science shown. The adâ€" dress by Mr. Ross was listened to with much interest and appreciation. The community singing, under the direction of J. D. Brady was one of the enjoyable features of the event. Incidents in S. A. Capt‘s Visits to Lumber Camps Capt. V. Underhill, the officer in charge of the local Salvaticn Army Corps, has quite recently spent two weeks conducting meetings with the men in the lumber camps. He was acâ€" companied by Capt. Jensen, in charge of the work at Cobalt. During that time they covered over 127 miles on foot, besides travelling by railroad. In all, 9 camps were visited and a gospel meeting conducted in each. Owing to the limited time only some of the largest camps were visited where the most men could be reached. A trip of this kind is not without its own peculiar experâ€" iences, as can be seen from what is related below. "Leaving a camp one mocrning before daylight, we walked five miles to where we understood we could make a connection with the train which would take us to a certain disâ€" trict we had in mind, where camps were. On reaching this point, we were a little disappointed to find the train was not scheduled to stop there and learned that our only hope to catch it was to go four miles farther and then flag the train. We had less than one hour to do it. However, we managed to run the four miles, in weather 30 below zero, and on reaching our flagging point found the train was only one hour and 30 minutes late. So we gathered sticks and lighted a fire to keep warm. One can imagine how glad we were to see the train that morning. That day we also walked 12 miles into another camp after leaving the train and after conducting a meeting with the men walked the 12 miles® back again. Owing to circumstances we were almost compelled to do this. This made thirty miles tramp for that day. The question has been asked, "Is there much opportunity for Christian work," The writer says that in some camps he visited there had not been Protestant service held all winter long and in octhers, perhaps one. Going up the Montreal river the Captain with a comâ€" panion, and a faithful team of dogs, found themselves in a somewhat danâ€" gerous place, when they discovered about dark one night, they were on thin ice, and therefore had to turn back. The New Liskeard Speaker last week says:â€" Monday‘s Luncheon in Charge of Past Presidents. New Members Welâ€" comed. Geo, N. Ross the Speaker for the Day. The Kiwanis Club luncheon on Monâ€" day of this week was in charge of the past presidents and proved an enjoyâ€" able and interesting meeting. Past President R. Dye occupied the chair for the day and carried proceedings along with his oldâ€"time skill. Other past presidents present and assisting in the programme were Dr. Lee Honey and W. Rinn. KIWANIS HEAR AGGOUNT OF SCIENGE OF AGGOUNTING Ohe Mdbantse After starting out the season in galâ€" lant fashion, with high hopes of group honours, the Timmins Juniors sawW their last chance fade away on Friday evening last when Iroquois Falls again defeated Monteith in the Junior N.O. H.A. series Had Monteith won the game Friday evening, the series would have betn held in a threeâ€"cormered tie. In such a case Timmins Juniors would have had one more chance. They lost their chance, however, when they were defeated by Monteith on Monday of last weelg. IROQUOIS FALLS JUNIORS WIN GROUP CHAMPIONSHIP Timmins Juniors and Monteith OuZ;f the Running When Iroquois FaHy Juniors Won From Monteith on Friday Evening Last. Accounts in regard to the game beâ€" tween Iroquois Falls and Monteith at the Falls on Friday evening last say that the Academy boys put up a good battle but were outclassed by the Falls. The score of 6 to 1, with the Falls boys on the good end, does not perhaps inâ€" dicate the play of the night fairly, but nevertheless there was no question of the superiority of the Falls team. They were strong all the way through. Benneit starred for the Falls, his speed and action being noteworthy all evenâ€" ing. He netted three of the goals and figured in one assist., The Porter broâ€" thers on defence for the Falls showed their value and did excellent work throughout the game. The star man for the Academy, Smith, was so closely watched that he was not able to get going on his regular stride. The Dunsmore brothers made some fine rushes for the Academy but they were not so good on defence. The teams Iroquois Fallsâ€"Goal, Abel; defencs, Sim Porter, Red Porter; wings, Benâ€" nett, Walsh; centre, Wilkes; subs, Kingston, Urinchuck, Lalonde. Monteithâ€"Goal. Samson; defence Duke Dunsmore, S. Dunsmore; centre Kozlo: wings, J. Clarke, Smith; subs Aho, T. Clarke, Percheron. Referee, Joe Chircoski, of Iroquois Falls. The Falls Juniors now have to play off with the Cobalt Juniors for the N.O.H.A. Junior honours in home and home games. These games are likely to be scheduled for this week. The Iroquois Falls Juniors have won this group on merit, and all good sports here wish them the best of luck all along the line. They put up an exâ€" cellent brand of hockey and there does not seem to be any reason why they should not go far in the race for furâ€" ther honours. The courage and resourcefulness of | the pioneer spirit is indicated by the following paragraph in The New Lisâ€" keard Speaker from the Nellie Lake correspondent of that paper: â€"-“When fire broke out in dry lumber in the' attic of Mr. Ludwalla‘s home, Mrs. Ludwalla sent one daughter with her baby to a neighbour‘s and the other for help while she fought the flames in so able a manner that when help arrived the fire was extinguished though a large hole had been burned in the roof" anadian Pacific Empress Liners on both oceans will all be painted white when the Atlantic ships, Empress of Australia, France and Scotland have been metamorphosed to this color. The Pacific fleet always was white and the new giant vessel, Empress of Britain, now building, will be white also. With the opening of the St. Lawrence season of navigation next April, the Canadian Pacific will possess the greatest white fleet in the world. The TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20th, 1930 bue White Fleet St. Patrick‘s Day Dance By Ambulance Brigade The St. Patrick‘s Day dance, under the auspices of the St. John Ambulance ‘Bzig“de, in .the Hollinger Recreation all on Monday, March 17th, promises to be one of the big events of the seaâ€" son. will be from 9 to 3. Reâ€" freshments will be a feature of the evening. The music will be the latest and best; it will be by the noted. Club Royal orchestra. The charge for adâ€" mission has been kept at a popular figure and all lovers of dancing should make a special point not to miss this March 17th event. Anyone who enjoys a good dance, with novelties, and everything up to the highest standards will be pleased with this March 17th dance. There is another good reason for a large attendance on this occasâ€" sion. That is the purpose for which the proceeds will be used. The returns from the dance will go to the St. John Ambulance Brigade, Timmins division. The Ambulance Brigade is doing a notâ€" able work in Timmins. As the posters for the dance say:â€""Remember that first aid saves life and limb. Give it your support." The Strollers Club (formerly knowh as the Junior Moose) had a very ausâ€" picious opening night on Friday of last week for the season‘s social evening. There was a good crowd of young pecple in attendance, and one and all had a happy time and enjoyed every minute of the evening. The event took the form of a Valentine party and all present will long remember with pleasure this enjoyable St. Valentine‘s occasion. STROLLERS HAVE PLEASING OPENING NIGHT ON FRIDAY ships are to retain the familiar buffâ€"yellow funnels and ventilators and will have white upper works and a white hull relieved with a blue streak. Above is the artist‘s conception of the Empress of Britain when completed, shown on right with Chateau Frontenac, Quebec in background and the Empress of Japan, biggest ship on the Pacific. Theships were depicted by O. F. Pennington, marine artist of note and an officer in the Canadian Pacific service. T. E. FARLEY MISREPORTED IN REGARD TO BLIND PIGS Explanation of What Former Assessâ€" ment Officer Said at Sudbury. Mr. Farley Has High Opinion of Timmins and Its People. "In reâ€"printing last week an article from The Sudbury Star in which T. E. Farley, formerly of Timmins, was quoted as suggesting to the Sudbury town council that Timmins had a large number of "speakâ€"easies," The Advance pointed out that Mr. Farley might have been misquoted or misunderstood. This turns out to be the case as may be seen by the following letter sent this week to The Advance explaining the inciâ€" dent. As The Advance pointed out Timmins never had so many blindâ€"pigs that Sudbury could afford to give this town the laugh in this particular, but at the same time it is pleasing to be assured that Mr. Farley did not make the statements credited to him in the way suggested by the article to which reference was made last week. To the Editor, The Advance, Timmins Dear Sir:â€"I just noticed an item in your February 13th edition headed (Says he found a number of speakâ€" easies in Timmins). The item is taken correctly from the Sudbury Star, but gives an entirely wrong impression of my statements there. I spent six busy and pleasant years in Timmins, and received many kindâ€" nesses from the friends and acquainâ€" tances I made there, and would be very sorry to have them think I would make any statements derogatory to Timmins. I like the people, and I like the climate and I still have considerable business interests there. The incident occurred as follows, I was stating to the council the difficulty we had in some cases in gaining admi# sion to some of the houses for inspecâ€" tion, most those occupied by foreigners, and particularly if we happened to strike a blind pig, The Mayor of Sudâ€" bury laughingly replied that I would find no blind pigs in Sudbury, the idea of their being no blind pigs in Sudbury seemed to strike the whole council as a very funny thing. The Star reporter made the best of the item, and favoured his home town, but when I see the item in my old home paper I do not like the wrong impresâ€" sion it gives to my statements here, and I would be much obliged if you will give this item the same publicity you did the previous article. Mr. Farley‘s letter of explanation is as follows: A dog derby for dogs owned by boys and girls was staged recently at Pemâ€" broke and drew a crowd of over 2000 spectators. There were so many youngâ€" Thanking you for your trouble in this matter and assuring you that I still have a very warm regard for Timmins, I remain, sters entering their dog teams that three races had to be held to accomâ€" modate all wishing to enter. This was the third annual children‘s dog derby to be staged in Pembroke. Sudbury, Ont., Feb. 13th, 1930 Yours truly, THOS. E. FARLEY Porquis Junction, Ont., Feb. 15 To the Editor of The Porcupinege Advance, Timmins. Sirâ€"In your issue of Feb. 13th, your readline, "First White Woman to ‘Mush‘ to Moose Factory," is followed by a note of interrogation. I think I can give a correct answer ‘to that question. missionary from Nova Scotia recently was the ‘"first white woman to mush to and from Moose Factory from the railway." The Advance pointed out that there was at least one other lady who had "mushed" out from Moose Fazclory about a year previously and that there might be others. Archâ€" deacon Woodall gives the facts in inâ€" teresting way, as : About twentyâ€"five years ago Captain Deauleite was appointed Inspector of. the Revillion Company then recently established in James Bay. His headâ€" quarters were at Moose Factory. The captain, who before entering the fur trade, had been an instructor in the artillery schools in France, was marâ€" ried to a Parisian lady of charm and culture, and to this Old Country French lady must go the honour of beâ€" ing the first white woman to "mush" to Moose Factory. When she and her husband arrived at Moose Factory on snow shoes it was the ten days‘ talk of the Bay. In those days, before Cochâ€" rane was on the map, the Revillion Company made use of the Missinabie route for their winter packet service, and it was from that place on the C.P. R. that Captain and Mrs, Deaulette started their journey. The distance from Missinabie to Moose Factory is about 355 miles and it took the travelâ€" lers about twenty days to accomplish it. To Miss Rafuse must go the honour of being the first white woman to "mush" the round trip from Mooase Factory, and she will probably go down to history as being the only white woman, ever to have made it, for from another of your columns I see that we may hope to ride to Moose Factory in a Pullman car in time for the fall goose hunt in 1931. There is no man in the!North toâ€"day who knows more about Moose Factory and its history than Ven: Archdeacon VWoeodall, who spent many years in that far northern area, labouring as a misâ€" sionary for the Anglican church. In more recent years Rev. Mr. Woodall has been making his headquarters at Porquis Junction, his charge including the churches ~along the Porcupine branch, but the Archdeacon has kept in touch with the far north and still retains his interest in that area. Beâ€" cause of this, readers of The Advance will appreciate the information given in the following note from Ven. Archâ€" deacon Wordall. It is in reference to an item in The Advance last week in reference to the first white woman to "mush‘" to Moose Factory. The claim had been made that a Miss Rafuse, a HRST WHITE WOMAN 10 "MUSH TO MOOSE FAGTORY Mining Claims Dispute Settled in Mine Court The case was brought by Dr. Wilâ€" liam P. St. Charles, representing synâ€" dicate composed of Harry Sutherland, Frank Shannon, Thomas W. McGarry and Luke P. Morrison, against Leonard G. Brookbank and R. Perry, prospectors. Honour Goes in Madame Deaulette About Twentyâ€"five Years Ago. Some Interesting Sidelights on Histery from Archdeacon Woodall. Amicable settlement of a mining claim dispute involving prominent Toâ€" ronto business men were reached before Judge T. E. Godson, of the Mining Court at Queen‘s Park last week. According to the evidence submitted, Brookbank entered into an agreement with the syndicate to prospect for them during 1928â€"29 in the O‘Sullivan Lake area in the Kowkash gold mining disâ€" trict beyond Cochrane. During 1929, Brookbank procured from Perry, quarter of the latter‘s interest in what is believed to be valuable mining land. This interest, Brookbank recorded and prospected on his own behalf and the claim of the plaintifis was that the deâ€" fendant, at the time he secured the quarter interest, was working under an agreement with them and therefore had no right to secure claims for himself. It was revealed that adjoining this particular area of land, Brookbank staked 18 claims on behalf of the syndiâ€" cate. Breokbank in his evidence denied collusion with Perry to deéraud the syndicate and his statemerts were acâ€" cepted by the court. Judge Godson threw out the sugâ€" gestion that an amicable settlement might be reached and the parties conâ€" cerned acted on the suggestion. It was finally decided to pool all the claims involved and divide equally among Brookbank, the syndicate and Perry. A. G. Slaght, K.C., a o ppeared for the Last week W.
