will CLAIMS PRESS REPORTS OF EPIDEMIG EXAGGERATED Reevye Evoy, of Rirklan®® Lake, Give Out Statement in Regard to the Oullbreak of Sore Throat at Kirkland Lake Recently. At Kirkland Lake last week | ing business man was asked in re to the facts about the epidemic t and his reply was:â€""Well, the 1 we know about the epidemic is wha read in the newspapers." He wen! to say that business had not suff particularly, He had had one of best Christmas business seasons in history and he heard of others were similarly situated. He did complain about any of the newsp reports, but he did leave the impres that the situation could secarcely b bad as printed in some of the new: pers or the pecple of Kirkland I would have been more fully aware | and see it more clearly, Reeve ! man Evoy, reeve for 1930 of the m cipality of the township of Tec} which the town of Kirkland Lak situated, goes further than the bust man reéferred to. Reeve Evoy sugg that the newspapers, or at least som them, have greatly exaggerated in ferring to the epidemic at Kirk Lake. In a letter sent to the press week, Reeve Evoy says:â€"â€" "In September, 1929, the municipal council appointed sanitary inspector, who was chosen and recommended by the OChief Provincial Sanitary Inspector, and there has been on duty here a public health nurse whose name was suggested by an official of the Provincial Board of Health. This local sanitary inspector, under the supervision of the ~30 many Wiiuly CXERSSCTa,.CU ments regarding the health conditions in Kirkland Lake have been published in the public press during the past 10 days that I feel it my duty as reeve of the municipality to make public sertain information which may correct some very erroneous impressions which the general public has obtained from press reports. "A statement published regarding deaths from the soâ€"called epidemic here spoke of at least five deaths resulting from the disease, and the impression would be gathered from the articles published that many of the people of this place were in imminent danger of death from the sore throat which is the chief symptom of the epidemic. At the time this report was published only two deaths had occurred where the cause of deaths was given as septicaceâ€" mia, and since that time one death has cecurred where cause was given as septic sore throat, with another serious contributing cause. "Much has been said about the source of the epidemic having been traced to the milk supply, and there has been much public questioning by the resiâ€" dents of the municipality as to how deâ€" finitely this source has been identified. Provincial Sanitary Inspector, had had | full supervision over the milk supnlxed that this place had health conditions tending to make it unsafe to live here to the residents of this place and over | or even visit the locality, and the proper the herds of cattle from which the milk was supplied, and the‘ reports to the authorities, in fairness, should make public statement correcting the wrong council have been to the effect that limpression which has gone abroad and Canada Northern Power Corporation Limited NORTHERN ONTARIO POWER COMPANY, LIMITED NORTHERN QUEBEC POWER COMPANY, LIMITED Again your company tenders to you the greetings of the season May your festive days be filled with joy and your New Year cne of unlimited opportuanity. CONTROLLING AND OPERATING every phase of the supply of milk was in proper order. Dr. W. E. George of North Bay, District Health Officer, has from time to time made official visits to Kirkland Lake, and has even inâ€" ed with the existing conditions. The public health nurse has never reported conditions along this line to be unsatisâ€" factory. + "An inquiry today to the head of the local board of health as to the number of cases of sickness suspected of being the septic sore throat, as the sickness is referred to, brought the reply that there are 200 cases under observation at the present time. spected the stables from which milk was supplied, and on those occasions expressed himself as thoroughly satisfiâ€" "I do not hesitate to say that there have not been any conditions in Kirkâ€" Jland Lake which at any time justified the spreading, through the press, of statements drawing the sensational headlines which we have seen, and givâ€" ing the impression to the cutside public that this place had health conditions tending to make it unsafe to live here or even visit the locality, and the proper authorities, in fairness, should make public statement correcting the wrong wil! be paid to Buenos Aires, capital of the Argentine, where the Prince of Wales will open the British Empire Fair which will spread over 25 acres of ground and which will include a handsome Canadian pavilion and seven other Empire show buildings.

"Other populous centres of the North nave their public markets where the farmers‘ cream is sold dGdirect to the residents, and have milk supplies which are not pasteurized, but are inspected in a manner similar to that which has been the practice in the Kirkland Lake vicinity. If the conditions which have existed here form a menace to the health of the residents, one would think that the Provincial Health Department should forthwith become exceedingly active in enforcing in other places simiâ€" lar regulations to those which they are now insisting on in this municipality. "I feel that the Provincial health auâ€" thorities should by a public statement correct the exaggerated impression which the public has acquired regardâ€" ing the epidemic of sore thrcats in Kirkland Lake, and the proper repreâ€" sentatives of the Provincial Health Deâ€" partment should officially meet the municipal council and lay before these representatives of the people full details of what has actually been ascertained regarding the source of the epidemic, and, if such can be done, point out where the local sanitary inspector has heretofore failed, and give the council the benefit of any helpful suggestions which the officials may have to offer." The many fricrnds in this district who knew G. R. Southee (‘"Reg") when he was stationed here for the Ingersollâ€" Rand Co., will be interested and pleased to learn of his recent promotion in the Ingersollâ€"Rand organization to assisâ€" tant to the viceâ€"president, with headâ€" quarters at Montreal. He has been with the company for a groat many years and has won his promotion on merit. He was manager of the Timâ€" mins office for some time in the early days of the camp and was later at other pcints in the North, also being stationed at Toronto for the Ingersollâ€" Rand Co. TRANSâ€"CANADA MOTORIST NOW NEARING PORT ARTHUBR A recsnt issue of The Automotive World makes the folowing reference to the Transâ€"Canada motor trip of H. F. Needham, whose progress west of Cochâ€" rane, with Gus McManrus, of Hearst, as guide, counsellor and friend, has be>n mnoted from tims to time in The Adâ€" vance:â€" G. K. SOUTHEE ASSISTANT TO THE VICEâ€"PRESIDENT "Healy Needham continues to push onward in his trailâ€"blazing motor trip across the Dominion. Aided by favourâ€" able weather, which in his case means below zero temperatures, he has driven his McLaughlinâ€"Buick Eight through the dangercus bush and muskeg counâ€" try of the Thunder Bay district and is now striking out for Port Arthur. He paid a brief vi;it resontly to Nakina, frontier town of the North, for added supplies and inspection of his car. The citizens turned out en masse to give him one of the greatest reccptions in Nakina‘s history. Needham found his motor to be in perfect running order, in spite of the strain it has been put to in the 2,000 miles already travelled from the Atlantic coast. In go‘ng to Port Arthur, Neeham hopes to cut short the jJourney by a 72â€"mile dash across Lake Nipigon instead of travelling around the shore line. This will be the most hazâ€" ardous part of his transcontinental trip, the success of which depends entirely upon continuing temperatures of from 10 to 30 degrees below zero." Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"Sir Roâ€" bert Borden‘s comment upon the possiâ€" bility that he might become governerâ€" general of Canada was almost as emâ€" phatic as that of the American statesâ€" man who, when his friends were insistâ€" ing upon nominating him for the presiâ€" dency, said: "If nominated I will not stand; if elected I will not serve." THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘KIRKLAND LAKE MILK NOW t BEING PASTEURIZED AT BAY At first on the advice of the medical health cfficer at North Bay the plan to pasteurize milk from Kirkland Lake at North Bay was refused at North Bay because it was feared that the scheme might prejudice the safety of the peoâ€" ple of North Bay. Later last week, however, arrangements were made for the pasteurization of the Kirkland Lake milk at North Bay without danger to the people of that city. The first shipâ€" ment of the pasteurized milk was reâ€" turned to Kirkland Lake on Thursday last. The greatest precautions have »sen taken to prevent any possible chance of the North Bay milk supply being injured by the pasteurizing of nealth authorities. It is said that Kirkland Lake has what is probably the best milk supply in the North Land now. All the cows used in the Kirkâ€" land Lake dairies are tested for tuberâ€" cular traits and all found in the slightâ€" ost degree affected are promptly weedâ€" ad from the nerds. Other similar tests are used for other possible defects and the care and attention now being given the Kirkland Lake supply of milk asâ€" sures the very best in the way of pure milk. Kirkland Lake has made someâ€" thing out of its recent troubles, when everal hundred people were sufferers in Kirkland Lake camp from an epiâ€" demic of sore throats. The malady at Kirkland Lake may best be described as bloodâ€"poisoning in the throat. It criginated with one cow in one dairy in Kirkland Lake and proved the most widespread epidemic of its kind ever in Canada. It was not responsible for many deaths, however, only a total of five cases of fatal illness being charged against it. The epidemic is now over. During the holiday season most of the business men of the town found busiâ€" ness as usual.

Th most important developments in England, which stands high in the radio world, if not at the top, have to do with the putting of plays on the air, and E. A. Weir, director of radio for the railâ€" way, recently made a trip to Great Britain to study the technique and to bring back for the production of broadcast plays in Canada one of the best qualified radio drama producers of the day, Tyrone Guthrie. "We caouot rest oats," Mr. Weir said in an interview today. "To study proadcssting in Europe is to realize that, far as we have gone, Canada has murnh to learn about the art.

They will begin early in the New Year. Kapuskasing will receive $5,000.00 of the unemployment relief fund money, and will give an equal amount, the $10,â€" 000.00 to be used chiefly to clear bush from the vicinity of the townsite.

In the past few years there has been a geneâ€" ral fear that modern conditions were destroying the home, yet the facts are that the home is beginning again to show its strength. Indeed, there are those who feel sure that the home is coming back stronger than ever as a power and influence in the land and that moder conditions are going to help to this desired end, as matters adjust themselves. Lecturers and magazine writers who have been holding funerals for the home ever since automobiles and jazz entered the social picture are due for a surprise. Homelife is not dead. It isn‘t even dying. These professional mourners are so busy with the obseâ€" quies they overlook the fact that the home is readjusting itself to new condiâ€" tions and is coming through stronger than ever. "There is the private garden, the joy of the family circle, the pride of posâ€" session, the gratification of home cookâ€" ery, the companionship, of pet animals and birdsâ€"and the countless things that make home the happiest place in earth. ‘"FTor thousands of years the home was unaccustomed to such rivalry. It was not to be wondered at that the past twentyâ€"five years of suddenly accelerâ€" ted competition should at first find it Now the home has caught its breath and is respording vigorously to the new challenge."

Loal TRAGIC DEATHS IN COBALT HOSPITAL ON THURSDAY Christmas time saw two tragic deaths in the mines hospital at Cobalt. Onr Christmas Day, Eva Gertin, agsd 17 years, died as a result of poison taken. The other case was that bf Leonard Kujanpan, a Finlander living on the east side of Cobalt Lake and who is beâ€" lieved to have died as a result of drinkâ€" east side of Cobalt Laks and who is beâ€" lieved to have died as a result of drinkâ€" ing wood alcohol which he is reported to have mistaken for grain alcohol. Miss Gertin, who was visiting with relatives in Cobalt came downstairs on Christmas morning and to some friends who were just about to leave the house, / she made the startling statement thaiC she had taken a dose of strychnine. Dr.f_ G. A. Schmidt was hastily summoned:__ and he advised her removal to the howâ€""~ pital. At the hospital aMl possible was **" aone for the unfortunate young lady** but all efforts were without avail and she passed away on Christmas Day. Her own words suggest that she took rier own words suggest that tTOOK the strychnine while in a depressed state of mind, but further then this there is nothing known to point to any motive. Leonard Kujanpas is understood to have been in Canada only a short time, and to have had few relatives or friends in this country. He is reported to have had a wife surviving him in Austria He and a partner lived in a house on the east side of Cobalt Lake. On Monâ€" day his partner left the house for time but before he went he had ta‘lked with Kujanpas and the latter had seemâ€" ed in the best of health and spirits. On returning to the shack later, the partner found that Kujanpas had eviâ€" dently itaken the poison by mistake. It is thought that he mistook the wood alcohol for grain alcohol. He was blinded by the effects of the poison, and Kujanpas died at the Cobait mines hospital on Christmas Day. He passed away a few hours after he was taken to the hospital. Inquests were duly held into the two deaths. Barrie Examiner:â€"Prof. Geo. M.
