The lagdies of the Auxiliary are especially deserving of praise for the way they worked, while the whole committee of the Legion in charge deserve the highâ€" est praise for the fins programme proâ€" vided. The midway features attracted special attention while the round and square dancing in the evening were very popular. There were four entries for the fiddlers and callers contest, the winners being Miss Quoin, fiddler, and D. Reynolds, caller. Despite the bad weather the Legion by determination and good manageâ€" ment and the generous support of the public have been able to pull through with a small balsance to the good finâ€" ancially, while the sports themselves were amons the best ever held here and the other features were interesting and pleasing. The event was planned for Baturday, May 24th, and had the weaâ€" ther been good it would have been a remarkably successful day. As it was a large number turned cut despite the rain. The morning weather was not so bad and the juvenile programme was successfully run off. These events were remarkably good and were well conducted. The carnival parade was hneld in the afternoon but the rain spoiled » this feature to an extent. Crowds, especially the younzsters turnâ€" ed out for this feature. The parade was led by the Legion bugle band preâ€" ceded by Manson Smith as marshal and folHowed by the Boy Scouts, the Girl Guides, the Veterans, and the parade of deecrated trucks, autos and bicycles.

The very large number of beautiful floral tributes and the unâ€" usually large attendance at the funeral services here testified to the regard in which the deceased was held and the sympathy felt for the family. Service was conducted at the house by Rev. R. S. Cushing, the remains then being taken to the 12.25 train for the South. The late Mr. Boyd was born near Havelock, Ontario, and at the time of death was 55 years old. He had been a resident of Timmins for some 16 years past and he and his family were held in high regard by wide circles. He is survived by a widow, one son, Harry, and two daughters, Mrs. °H. Shantz, and Miss Maude Boyd, and to these the deepest sympathy of all is extended. The late Mr. Boyd had his leg very badly crushed on Friday evening by a fall of rock at the Vipond where hs was working. He was hurried to the hospital and was found to be suffering from shock and loss of blood as well as from a badly crushed leg. Preparaâ€" tions were under way for further bloodâ€" transfusions on Saturday at noon just before he passed away. One of the bestâ€"known and most pppular of the early residents of the camp passed away on Saturday, May 24th, shortly after noon, in the person of John Boyd. The news of his death came as a decided»=shock to his hosts of friends, and sympathy for the berâ€" eaved family is very deep and very sincere.

DAUGHTERS OF ENGLAND HOLD SUCCESSFUL SUPPER Secretary Moisley of the Timmins Boys‘ Athletic Association and cthers interested have give a large amount of time and effort to organizing the league for the season, and present indications are that their work has been very sucâ€" cessful. It would appear that there is great interest among the boys and that there is going to be a great season of juvenile softball this year. The pubâ€" lic, as well as t.he'youngsters, are apâ€" parently to enjoy a big softball season and these games promise to be keenly conmntested and well worth watching. The fact that there are thirtyâ€"seven teams in the league shows the interest taken by the boys in softball and in the new league. The complete schedule of games for the series will be published in next week‘s issue of The Advance. The boys and others concerned should watch for this schedule and clip it out of the paper and preserve it for future referâ€" ence. The regular schedule will start on Monday, June 9th, and will continue through June and July and up to about August 10th, when the playâ€"offs will commence for first and second teams, n each group, playing off for group championships.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 29th, 1930 On Monday, as noted elsewhere in this issue Rev. Mr. Netram was the speaker of the day at the Kiwanis lunâ€" cheon and the report of his address on that occasion touches most of the points made by him in the other addresses made by | given here On Sunday evening Rev. Mr. Netram preached at the Schumacher United Church where a large congregation lisâ€" tened to him with much interest. Rev. J. W. R. Netram, native Indian minister, occupied the pulpit of the United Church, Timmins on Sunday morning, and his able address was lisâ€" tened to with the greatest interest.. In eloquent way he pictured the life and conditions of India and pictured his beloved native land so graphically as to impress and inform all who heard him. There was a large congregation present and all were given a new and more informative conception of India, its peoples and its problems. Rev. Mr. Netram was dressed in Indian costume. At 9.15 p.m. the same day there was a telephone call for a fire at 104 Elm street north, owned by W. Stewart. The fire was in the studding behind the chimney. It was put out with the chemical tank. The damage was about $75.00 covered by insurance. Impressive Sermons by Rev. J. Netram, of India it had before discovery the firemen ,were able by their good work to preâ€" vent its spread through the inflamâ€" mable sheds and other buildings nearby and to thus avert a serious blaze. The explosion cculd be heard for a conâ€" siderable distance, but no one knows what caused it. There was nothing in the barn so far as known to account for it and it looks as if something of explosive nature must have been plantâ€" ed there. As the explosion occurred the barn seemed to break into flames. The firemen were very promptly on the scene and they had their work cut out for them, there being a number of sheds and barns nearby and also frame houses close to the flames. The fireâ€" men scon had three lines of hose at work as well as the big chemical tank.{ When the alarm was turned in both the barn at the rear of 5 Birch street north, owned by E. Lasalle, and the one at the rear of 6 Maple street north Mrs. Rusk‘s, had a good start. Damage was done to these barns and to sheds nearby, but the fire was fought to al finish. The loss will be several hunâ€" dred dollars with no insurance carried.' ) A mysterious .explosion was a feature of the fire at the rear of 5 Birch street north on Monday at 4.15 pm. Anâ€" other feature was the fact that despite the big start of the fire and the grip Several Hundred Doliars Damage Done by Fire Starting in Barn from Unknown Cause,. _ Explosion Heard All Over the District. MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION 1N FIRE AT BARN ON MONDAY Those motoring to Cochrane for the event comment on the condition of the rcads. On one trip to Cochrane last week the journey was made in 2 hours and 20 minutes. The return trip to Timmins took four hours. The road between Cochrane and Porquis Juncâ€" tion was in pretty good shape. The bad stretches of road were between Porquis Junction and Timmins and there are only a couple of these bad spots, but that is enough. All present found the proceedings cf the day most interesting and profitable. There was special comment on the way the South Porcupine lodge put on the first degres. One of the judges who has seen many lodges exemplify this degree and watched some of tne bost lodges at thse worlid, said that ho had never seen the equal of the South Porcupine team for the dramatic powâ€" er with which the degree work was fied the first degree; and Iroquois Falls put on the third degrese. Being the ho:ts for the occasion "the Cochran» lodge did not compete. The Judiges awarded Iroquois Falls first place; Timmins, second; and South Porcupin?: third.

About a similar number tent from South Porcupine, while there were 19 or 20 from Iroquois Falls. The cdze of instruction was conducted by the District Deputy Bro. W. L.

The attendance is increasing each night and the three remaining evenâ€" ings, Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week will be the biggest yet. Satâ€" urday is expected to eclipse all records for attendance and interest, the prizes to be given out on thi snight. The list of prizes for the bazaar is an unâ€" usually good one. There are all the usual booths and many new ones, with some cutstanding novelties. One of the special features of the bazaar is the exhibit of Habitant industries, inâ€" cluding spinning, weaving, etc., these being typically Habitant arts of toâ€"day and practically unknown in the greater part of Canada. For entertainment, interest and amusement the St. Anâ€" thony‘s bazaar would be difficult to surâ€" pass and the attendance on the three concluding nights this week should be esnpzcially good. For a good time and lots of entertainment and many attracâ€" tions the bazaar is the place to go. Each evening this week large crowas are attending the bazaar held in the Timmins rink for the benefit of St. Anthony‘s Church. The event is provâ€" ing a big success and all are enjoying LARGE CROWDS DELIGHTED WITH ST. ANTHONYV‘S BAZAAR Cole and Rogers circus will be here on June 7th, showing on the grounds owned by G. H.

There was a large docket this week at police court, Magistrate Atkinson, who did not hold court here last week, having a doubleâ€"sized court this week. One of the particularly important cases was that of Bil Gulka who faced two charges, one of holding underâ€"sized fish caught, and the other of being illegally in possession of certain fish. He ‘was fined $25.00 and costs on each charge, the total cost to him being $72.00, which is a heavy penalty that should act as a warning to any other offenders there may be in this line.

In reference to the play, ‘Never Say Die," this interesting features was reâ€" cently presented by the Young People‘s Society of the United Church, and drew good houses. The play itself and the presentation really delighted all. There was general agreement that the play itse!f was a most amusing one while the various members of the cast carried ,t‘h-rough their parts with a skill and ‘finish that was remaiikable. Each _ member of the cast took his or her parnt in perfect fashion and the gifted actors anda actresses, together with the attraction of the play itself made a feature that will be long remembered. Those who saw the recent presentation of "Never Say Die" are emphatic in their approval and will urge all not to miss the opportunity of seeing ‘the clever Y.P.S. actors and actresses preâ€" sent this fine offering. After the seâ€" cond showing of the play recently the cast was invited to the manse where a very pleasing luncheon was served. They took advantage of the opporâ€" tunity to express their apyreciation of Mr. P. Dougall for his effective and talented services in the capacity of dirertor of the play. The members of the cast hold that Mr. Dougall‘s talent and interest were largely responsible for the success achieved. Mr. Dougall was presented with an elegant silver lighter as a mark of the. appreciation of those taking part in the play.

K. Pitzpatrick who has rented the building said he had only had it since May lIst and taxes were then supposed to be paid up by the British American Oil Co. The clerk is to get the inforâ€" maticn in regard to when the British American Co. discontinued business here and the taxes will be adjusted acâ€" cordingly. A couple of widows appealed to the council in regard to taxes and the adâ€" vice to each was to do the best possible in the way of payments and the council would be as lenient as possible. L. Shub asked for a rebate on tax on account of his store being vacant for about eight months of the year, and ie was told that he would be allowed a proportion for the time of the store was vacant. Mr. Gratton, of Avenue road, called attention to some bad pieces of road in his locality and the town engineer was asked to look into these cases. Mr. Gratton also suggested the need for a alarm box in the vicinity, and this was referred to the fire and light commitâ€" tee, Permission was allowed for the St. J¢ohn Ambulance Brigade to hold their flag day on Saturday of this week, inâ€" stead of last Saturday, May 24th, whet the rain made the tagging impossible. The question of the sidewalk alongâ€" side the post office was mentioned and Councillor Caron thought it might be continued with narrow width to the hospital. This was not considered practical this year as the town was not putting in any other cement walks. The Government had not been heard from in definite way in regard to payâ€" ing for the cement walk at the side of the new post office. Councillor Chenier brought up the question of the market. He said tirat farmers from the section along the T N. 0. from New Liskeard north hac suggested that Timmins have arrangeâ€" ments made for the market train now going to Swastika for the Kirkand Lake market to proceed on to Timmins. Kirkland Lake did not give these farâ€" mers a big enough market and a large part of them would come on to Timâ€" mins if the train leaving Liskeard at 5 am. continued on to Timmins. Beâ€" tween 40 and 70 farmers along the and it would make a real market. The and it ould make a real market, The farmers would reach here about noon and leave the next day at 12.25. They asked a Friday train here, and were willing to pay the usual fees for stalls.. The council was doubtful as to whethes a train would be run through in this way, but the T. N. O. is to be conâ€" sulted in the matter. In any event it is hoped to provide a good market for Timmins this year. There was brief reference made to securing the curling rink, while others thought the skating rink more popular with the public. One of the chief topics of interest discussed at the meeting was the matâ€" ter of the tourist camn for Timmins. J. D .MacLean, town engineer, said that there were cars there a week ago though the camp had not been formalâ€" ly opened. Tourists last year had been well pleased with the treatment given them at the camp and they would be willing to pay for it. Mr. MacLean thought it would be good idea to put charge of $1.00 per car per night for the accommodation at the motor camp. The money so received could be used to pay a caretaker. There were 60 tourists parties here last year and more were expected this year. Mr. MacLear: thought it would be a lot better to have the caretaker of the tourist camp as salaried employee and so directly acâ€" countable to the town, raither than try to secure a man who would attempt ito make a living by conduciting a booth:. While the plan had worked fairly well last year no man could be expected toâ€" do other than look after his own earnâ€" ings in such a case. Mr. MacLean thought a caretaker directly responâ€" sible to the town could do a lot in his spare time to improve the grounds and he could also see to the safety of the children swimming there.
