That may have been the issue of Jan. 26th, 1921. At any rate there was conâ€" siderable of both "hockey and haggis" in the issue because these were things in which the pecple were very much interested at the time. A leading feaâ€" ture on the front page was a detailed account of the first Burns banquet to. be given by the Caledonian Society of Timmins. It was a great success (the banquet, not the report). There were about 150 present and â€"the programme was a remarkable one for interest and exce{lence. Mr. W. McHugh made the haggis and carried it in with due cereâ€" mony. J. K. Moore gave the address to the haggis. The president of the society, Frank Lamb, conducted the event in very able way. Dr. Mackie was croupier. J. Cowan ypiroposed the tcoast to Navy and Army, the response being by J. Taylor. W. D. Watt proâ€" posed the toast "Our Adopted Country," TC. Mackie responding. "The Inmortal ‘Memory” was proposed by the chairâ€" ' an. ‘"‘The Poetry of Burns‘"‘ was proâ€" posed by P. Dougall and restnded to lby M. B. Scott. Other toasts included: 'Kmdred Societies, proposed by the chairman and responded to by T. F. Clark, of Toronto; the Caledonian Soâ€" ciety of Timmins, by D. Sutherland and J. K. Moore and John Massie; the Lassies, by W. W. White, responded to by Mrs. A. Haughland. The latter was cne of the hits of the evening. There were solos by Mrs. J. K. Mcore, Myrs. M. B. Scott, Miss Jean Roberts, J. Cowan, J. K. Moore, D. Mackie, J. Bosworth and J. Twaddle; a duet by Mrs. J. R. Todd and Mrs. Moore; all Sceottish songs given with talent and effectiveness. Readings from Burns‘ poems were given by Miss Macfie and J. Taylor. M. B. Scott gave a ballad of his own composition in Braid Scots. Celestarhone selections were played by Angus MacDonald. The pimsr for the evening was W. Bennett. The accomâ€" panists for the evening were Mrs. J. K. Moore and W. H. Wilson. records and other stalistics of the To this "haggis" report over a column was devoted, while to the hockey there were about a total of five columns of space allowed. Reference was made to approaching games, the standing, goal TEN YEARS AGO IN TIMMINS From data in the Porcupine Advance Fyles THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO H.A. teams were recorded. Timmins had won four games and lost one, with one tied and six to play and was at the hsad of the group. Timmins had 35 goals for and 17 against and in this also had the best showing in the group. The New Liskeard Speaker‘s report of a game at the Creamery Town was given in full. There were a number of other articles and references throughout the paper. Ancther winter sport that was speciâ€" ally years ago was that of curling. "A Curling Rink Another of the Needs of Timmins" was the heading of a front page article. The article referred to the attractions of curling, to the fact that there were many curlers in town, and to the growâ€" ing popularity of the game in Canada. The Advance suggested that the Caleâ€" donian Society might take up the matâ€" ter of the preliminary arrangements for the organizaticn of a curling club in Timmins. Though The Advance urged the matter on several occasions it was some time before the plans were taken u;\ in earnest and the curling club orâ€" ganized. ! Another and greater need that The Advance was urging be supplied in Timmins ten years ago was the estabâ€" lishment of a public library here. The Advance had mentioned this matter on a number of occasions and had reâ€" csived considerable support from readâ€" ers but no dsfinite action was taken. A. J. Downie wrote The Advance urgâ€" ing a library for the town. Others perâ€" sonally approved the idea. Ten years ago The Advance found a new chamâ€" pion for the public library in the pirâ€" son of C. S. Carter, then principal of the Timmins public school. Mr. Carâ€" ter deserves the gratitude of the people of Timmins for his good work resulted in the establishment here of the library after three years of effort and agitaâ€" tion. The public library was opened here in July, 1924, and ever since has been a source of pleasure and advantâ€" age to hundreds of the pritrople of the town, young and old. A picture in The Advance ten years ago is that of "Mr. Louis George Ne Ville, author, director, producer of the "Isle of Love,‘ to be given at the New Empire Theatre on Feb. 3rd and 4th, 1921, for the benefit of the At the annual meeting of the Assoâ€" ciated Boards of Trade ten years ago the Government was asked to appoint more school inspectors for this part of the North, as there were only two inâ€" spectors for Temiskaming and part of Nipissing, and no two men could phsâ€" sibly cover this immense territory. This was the chief matter discussed at the Associated Boards of Trads and Thes Advance gave it special prominâ€" ence. * At the regular meeting of the town | council ten years ago the chief matter up for discussion and consideration was that of improved fire protection for Timmins. The question of exits| from rooming hcuses and from the| Reid block was referred to. Chimneysi and stovepipss, and especially the latâ€" ter, were fruitful causes of fires, the fire chief told the council. Firs Chief Borland suggested the making of a monthly inspection of all the town to see that chimneys and stovepipes were kept in right shape and that other | measures were adopted to assume safeâ€" | ty from fires. The chief was endorsed | by the council in this Councillor T.! F. King said that in the matter of wood he believed that people were ofâ€" ten defrauded by short measure. Chief] Greer said the town had no byâ€"law in this regard, and the council decided to. pass one so that the chief might have | full support in stopping short measure‘ | i «o is c« in wood. The question of the purchase by the town of a set of weigh scales was also considered. Constable E. A. Roy was appointed sanitary inspector.| A resolution was received from Tisdale | }ccluncil petitioning the Government for | the trunk road from Timmins to Iroâ€" quois Falls. The resolution pointed out the advantages to settlement, etc., from | }such a highway. On motion the Timâ€"| mins town council gave the resolution | full endorsement. The question of the scavenger service was once more up for ldiscussion. Councillor Longmo>re pointâ€" 'ed out that some of the compraints were wellâ€"founded but others were not.| He suggested as the only solution of what was apparently a problem that there be regular days for the scavenger to call at the different streets in town and that after the schedule was laid out the scavenger be required to conâ€" form to it absolutely. Chief Greer thought it would help if the scavengerl called at least three times a week at( the town office to receive any comâ€". plaints lodged there. The fact that the ‘scavenger had no telephone added to. the public difficulties in the matter. The whole question was left in the Lkands of the contingency committee to work out a system. "The Children‘s Welfare Clinic Room is now established in the premises on |Pine street, formerly occupied by Miss Copytis, and opposite the post office." said The Advance ten years ago. "The provincial health nurse employed by the town of Timmins will be at the clinic room daily from 1.30 to 3 p.m. {for consultation. Mothers and prosâ€" pective mothers will be gladly and freely given advice and assistance in matters of health. Special attention will also be given to children under school age. The service is free to all in the town. The purpose is to safeâ€" guard and benefit the public health. Local medical men are sure that this new department will do much to deâ€" crease the infant death rate khere as well as to materially benefit the public health generally." i n mm mm e mc mmz ze passed away on Jan. 23rd, Aged months and 2 days." "The provincial health Gepartment nurses, who have been dcing such gosd work in Timmins, are now engaged in the same good work in Tisdale township."

"S. Shankman leaves toâ€"morrow for Montreal where he will P Considerabie space was given in The Advance ten years ago to the report of a banquet at North Bay to Geo. W. Lee, who had just been appointed chairman of the T. N. O. Commisâ€" sicon. About 600 were present at the banquet. The appointment of Mr. Lee to the chairmanshin of the commission was a very porular one. Mr. Lee had been acting chairman for over a year and had given unusually good service. An article in The Advance ten years ago referred to renewed proposals to electrify the T. N. O. Railway. The cost of electrifying the raillway was | estimated then at about nine million dollars, This plan included the purâ€", chase of particula®tly powerful elecâ€" tric locomotives. Chairman Geo. W.) Lee thought the plan might work if l the proper equipment were secured. It| would entail new measures for = the tracks clear of snow. | symp?© nily in all SETTLERS T0 ORGANIZE AN â€"EECUTIVE FOR COCHRANE Settler at Cochrane Interrupts Speaker at Farmers‘ Gathering. "How Can settlers Clear Their Land _ Without a Dollar?" Asks settler. Over a hundred farmers and settlers from the Cochrane district attended the annual farmers‘ day at Cochrane held on Tuesday of last week. The event is sponsored each year by the business men of the town of Cochrane and always attracts much interest. In the morning the annual meeting and election of officers of the Cochrane Agâ€" ricultural Society was held. Also the annual meeting of the Cochrane Plowâ€" man‘s Association was held, E. Chartâ€" rand, reeve of Glackmeyer, being electâ€" ed president by acclamation. D. J. Pomerleau, district representative of agriculture, was elected secretary of the Cochrane Plowmen‘s Association. In the address of the president of In the address of the president of the Cochrane Agricultural Society, Geo A. Smith, formerly of Timmins, t.he‘ suggestion was made that the date of the annual fair be changed to Labour Day and the day following. President Smith thought the weather would likely be better if the fair were held a week earlier as he suggested. Mr. Smith said that under no cireumstances would he accept the presidency for a fourth term. Three years was plenty for him, he said, though his predecessor had held the office for ten years. Election of officers for the agricultural society resulted as follows: Honorary president, Mr. A. J. H. Echardt, of Toronto; presiâ€" dent, F. C. Ivy; 1st viceâ€"president, E. B. Booth; 2nd viceâ€"president, Oliver Geâ€" nier; 3rd viceâ€"presidenf® Julian Papiâ€" neau. Last year‘s board of directors was reâ€"elected with the exception that George Smith, J. B. Weldon and Joseph Noel replaced E. P. Carriere and Sid. Smith. All elections were by acclamaâ€" tion.

At noon there was a banquet given the farmers and settlers by the resiâ€" dents of the town of Cochrane. This has been an annual affair for several years past. â€" Farmers and settlers to the number of almost 100 were welâ€" comed by Councillor J. C. Penny, actâ€" ing mayor of Cochrane; J. A. Clermont, president of the Board of Trade, and F. C. Ivy, president of the Agricultural Society. The two speakers were R. H. Hanlan, superintendent of the provinâ€" clal demonstration farm at Hearst, and the game with the Falls on PFriday. Since the game with iNew Liskeard las, week, Frank has been visiting in the city and has been taking in all the hockey matches there, picking up any pointers that may be cbtainable, sa that he will no doubt be more than usually dangerous to the Falls on Friâ€" day evening. Most of the hockey fans here think that Frank needs few more pointers on hockey, but Frank himself knows that the more you pick up abosut hockey the more you know the game and that to profit by the experience of others is cone sure way to progress." There was an afternoon session at which Mr. R. H. Hanlan, formerly of Kapuskasing Experimental Farm, but now in charge of the Experimental Farm at Hearst, detailed in very inâ€" teresting and helpful way some of the experiments carried on at Hearst and Kapuskasing. He mentioned that Hearst Farm is at present seeking a substitute for corn as a poultry food, as corn can not be profitably grown here at present and has to be importâ€" ed, chiefly from ‘the southern States. Mr. Hanlan urged the farmers to grow more products that are imported at the present time. Strawberries, he said, could be grown just as well on the farms here as in the south, and farâ€" mers, merchants and the people generâ€" ally would benefit. L. C. Roy, of the agricultural developâ€" ment branch of the C.N.R. game at Liskeard last WECK tainly A. Jewell.‘ "Frank leaves Toronto toâ€"night on to Timmins and will be on Mr. Roy, who spoke in French was interrupted at one stage of his address by G. Nilson, a settler in the township of Clute, who asked the speaker to tell the settlers how to clear their land when they hadn‘t a dollar in their pockets. There was no use talking about scientific farming for the settâ€" lers until they were able to go ahead and clear land. He thought scientific farming lectures were many years ahead of the needs of the settlers. Not twentyâ€"five per cent. of the settlers, he claimed, had reached the stage where scientific cultivation was possible. D. J. Pomerleau, district representaâ€" tive for agriculture, spoke in French to the farmers and settlers, and this was followed by a brief address in both French and English by R. Hurtibise, provincial seed expert, of New Lisâ€" keard. It may be said that Farmers‘ Day in Cochrane this year was a helpâ€" ful success and the idea of holding t] 1@rs â€" prot ich mutu at In ery valuable.
