fences The Timmins team intended to make the last period a snappy one as they wanted to equalize the score and bettet, but the visitors apparently were satisâ€" fied to be two up. The tendency acâ€" cordingly was for the visitors to try long shots and let the puck go up the ice away from their goal. Spence worked his way up the ice and after some clever work he got the puck past Chevrier, making the score 3â€"2. This ut Ists more life into the Timmins lads and they make fairly desperate efforts to tie the score but all their atâ€" temps were fruitless. The Porcupine team adopted more or less of a defenâ€" sive game, shooting the puck up the ice. This could not be said about Cook, however, as he repeatedly came down on the attack and come close to scorâ€" ing again more than once. The third period was without further scoring by either team, the final victory for the evening being for South Porcupine 3 to 2. There were quite a few penalties in the game but chiefly for minor ofâ€" The second period opened with the play fiftyâ€"fifty for the two teams, though the Timmins lads seemed to have much of the edge on the play. Krupka, Auger, Hackett and Arundell did some fins work for Timmins, the home team attacking furiously and persistently. The Porcupne goalie was shown what it is like to be peppered, and, of course, Hodnett also was kept a very busy man. Cattarello and Gagnon starred for the visitors in this frame. With only five minutes of the period to go Cook scored again. After some excellent work by Arundell and Krupka, the latter was able to land the puck behind Chevrier. South Porcuâ€" pine 3, Timmins 1.

The game opened with fast hockey ard the puck was going from end to end in fine fashion. The kid line of the South Porcupine team showed some fine playing in this stanza and there was a nice bunch of work for Hodnett to do, but he can do all that as he has shown in nearly every game this year. ‘There were some nice saves. Arundell and Auger turned the tables, however, and soon h2ad the Porcupines very busy deferding their own citadel. Th Porâ€" cupine forwards again assaulted the Timmins nets, after mixâ€"up in front of the Porcupine goal. Cook managed to slip an awkward one past Hodnett, makirg the game‘s first counter. Krur/!«a and Laflamme made lively asâ€" saults on the Porcupine nets but had no luck. Richer gave Chevrier one speedy ons to save. Chevrier got that one though no one could have blamed him if he had not. Hudson got away with the puck and drew Hodnett out, scoring the second one for Porcupine. South Porcupine 2, Timmins 0.

There is the tie game of Feb. 26th to be played off yet in the series for the Kenning cup and this ayâ€"off is to take place at South Porcupine this (Thursday) evening. If South Porcuâ€" pine wins they have the championship and the cup. If Timmins win, as it is hoped to do, there will be a tie in the series, and this wil mean home and home games with goals to count on the round. At Monday‘s game here the lineâ€"up was as follows:â€" On Timmins ice on Monday evening of this week the Porcupine hockey team won again from Timmins after a close and hardâ€"fought battle, the score being 3 to 2.

Five extra ends were required to break the tie, and the Timmins curlers retained the Englehart trophy by the narrow marâ€" gin of two. Before a large gallery of devotees of curling, and in a game which lasted into the small hours of the morning, the Timmins Curling Club successfully defended the Englehart trophy against a challenging rink from the railroac town.

Services The funeral took plazse on Monday at 3 o‘clock to the Timmins cemetery, the services being conducted by Rev. Bruce Millar. The pupils of the Cenâ€" tral public school attended the serâ€" vices in a body to show their sorrow at the death of one of the most popular pupils of the school. There were many beautiful floral tokens expressive of the sorrow at the death and the sympathy for the family. Very sincere and widespread symâ€" pathy will go out to Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Wilson, 77 Birch street, south, in the de'alh on Sunday last of their young daughter, Rita Beverly, who would have been fourtesn years on August lIst of this year. On Sunday, Feb. 22nd, the young girl had the illâ€"fortune to upset a kettle of boiling water that she was lifting from the stove. The boiling water poured down her side. scalding her hip and leg severely. Medical attention was secured at once and everything possible done to alleâ€" viate the shock of the injury. The girl apparently was making excellent recovery from the burns received and the injuries were healing nicely. Unâ€" til last Thursday she seemed to be reâ€" especially well and with no danger of complications. On Thursâ€" day her progress to recovery seem to be slightly retarded but oh Saturday she appeared to be again making the best of recovery and there appeared no reaâ€" son for any alarm.

The action was taken following repreâ€" sentation from the town merchants as to the unfair competition from tranâ€" sient traders who received all the benefits of the town but did not conâ€" tribute in proportion to the upkeep of the municipal services in their taxes. The meeting called in the town halli here on Monday night to consider the organization of a fying club here drew out a large attendance, about forty or fifty being present and all enthusiasâ€" ic about air work. Mr. Millar exâ€" plained fully his plans and also the details of the fiying clubs organized under government auspices. Fifteen signed up at the meeting to take the course of instructions offered by Mr. Millar in fiying. Others are also said to be interested and it is likely that the plans now under way will prove very successful. In the meantime, however, it was thought best not to organize a flying club here until the real basis for it is establishedâ€"that is, a large number here actively interested in fiying work and with fiying knowâ€" ledge and experience. Mr. Millar is starting his classes o# instruction in flying this week and will carry them along here. It is likely <that later a club will be formed hére in affiliation with the Canadian Aero Clubs. In the meantime Ottawa has been asked for full particulars in regard to the matâ€" ter, the hope being that before long this district will be a centre for the modern art of flying. Some indication of the character of the man and the character of the airâ€" ship were given on Monday of this week when W. N. Miller fiew from New Liskeard to Timmins through the kina of a storm and atmospheric conâ€" ditions that are avoided usually by airmen. Mr. Millar had promised to be present at a meeting here and felt accordingly that he must be here and live up to his promise. He made the trip safely and in good time and this proved the reliability of the plane even in difficult and bad conditions. ! This week and last week the local ]bonspiel was the feature at the local | rink, and now the games have narrowâ€" |ed down to the finals and semiâ€"finals. Keen interest has been maintained throughout in the three events, the Ecclestons Cup, the President‘s and the Consolation event, and thke contestâ€" ants had narrowed down to the semiâ€" finalists in the games last night. In the Hollinger Cupt competition Harry N. Jackson, with a rink composâ€" ‘ed of Harry Dunfield, Wm. Mcâ€" Hugh second, and Jos. Amm as viceâ€" skip, defeated Geo. S. Drew in a close battle. Mr. Jackson is accordingly the winner of the Hollinger Cup for the coming year. Mr. Solomon, who won the Timmins Cup last year, has given to each memâ€" ber of the rink he skipped in that comâ€" petition a fine silver mug with the year, competition and names of rink engrayâ€" ed on same, as a momento of that year‘s competition for possession of the Timmins Cup.

The finals for the McIntyre Cup haven‘t been played yet, but it is exâ€" pected that the two rinks, skipped by Geo. S. Drew and I. K. Solomon, will meet during the next few days. Tomorrow night will see practice match between the cup challengers and cu;\ offenders; this to help out the rinks playing on Saturday night. There will also be a special feature added for the members of the club, and all should try to be present. The feature tonight is the semiâ€"finâ€" als in the Consolation event; when rinks skipped by R. E. Dye and L. Walker will meet, and W. R. Sullivan will play either Fr. O‘Gorman or Jas. Brough. H.

The visit was in the form of a surprise party and was led by Mrs. R. Richards and Mrs. A. Larvic. There were abosut eighteen guests the evening proved a very happy one. Miss Harris was :siven a miscellaneous shower, there be‘nxz a large number of beautiful and wefu! gifts.

The classâ€" es and lectures are being held in the Oddfellows‘ hall and the Central pubâ€" lic school and are free to all. Payrolls, accounts and other routine items were passed for payment. A rebate of $25.25 was made on the taxes of a widow. _ _ A. E. Mortimer, the new pftesident of the Timmins Citizens‘ Band appeared before council to press for the requests mentioned in a letter sent to the counâ€" cil and read at a previous meeting. The letter had asked for permission to hold a carnival in the rink and a reâ€" gatta at the river on July lIst. The carnival would include games, wheels, etc. Mr. Mortimer said the band was anxious to hold the carnival and reâ€" gatta as they wanted to be selfâ€"supportâ€" ing and get their own money and not take"the money of the ratepayers. FPire Chief Borland was asked by the acting mayor if there was not a district fireâ€" men‘s event on July Iist. Chief Borâ€" land explained that the Temiskaming Firemen‘s Association were holding their annual tournament at Schuâ€" macher that day and he thought it would be a pity if any event here conâ€" flicted with ths Temiskaming Fireâ€" men‘s feature. There would be briâ€" gades from all over this part of the North with special «trains into the camp. He suggested that it would be well to avoid appearing to contflict with the firemen‘s event, though he pointâ€" ed out that Timmins was not a memâ€" ber of the association, but as a matter of general principle it was wise to avoid any conflict of dates of this kind. Preâ€" sident Mortimer replied that the events would not conflict as there would be 20,000 people in the camp that day and so room for several events. CLASSES FOR PROSPECTORS IN PROGRESS THIS WEEK A letter of thanks was received from the St. John Ambulance Brigade thankâ€" ing the council for the donation of $80.00 recently made for the fixing up of the new headquarters of the briâ€" gade. Another letter asked for permisâ€" sion to hold a tag day on June 13th, the proceeds to go to the fund for supâ€" plying free medical ‘comforts in town. Council promised to look‘ into a couple of tax cases brought forward and these cases will be dealt with at a later meeting. A letter was received from the Canâ€" adian Legion saying that they inteonded to holid their annual sports day on August 5th this year instead of May 24th, and suggesting that council might make this latter day civic holiday for town. As the date was some distance away the matter was deferred to a latâ€" er meeting. A letter was received from H. Jones, Welland, thanking the council for the confidence shown in him in his apâ€" pointment as chief of prlice and assurâ€" ing the council that in his new position here he woud do all possible to justify this confidence.

Arundel, ‘were called last week to North Bay owing to the serious illness of their father, Fred Elston, who passâ€" ed away at 10 a.m. ore Monday mornâ€" ing, March 9th. Although the late Fred Elston‘had lived to the unusual age of 83 years he was ill only a few weeks, having enjoyed previously good health and strength. Th2 late Fred Elston, 124 Pirst aveâ€" nue weoest, was for a great many years a wellâ€"known and highlyâ€"regarded art dealer. For nearly a quarter of a cenâ€" The fureral will be held from the family residence this (Thursday) afterâ€" noon to St. John‘s Anglican church, North Bay, and interment and will be made in St. John‘s cemetery. The ladies of the Church of the Naâ€" tivity asked for permission to sell shamrocks on March 17th. The counâ€" cil were all favourable to this, but the difficulty was that last year and this year the council had been restricting tag days to about four general public organizations such as t.h.e Legion for Poppy Day, the V.O.N, the Salvation Army and the Daughters of the Empire, all for practically community and charity purposes. To break this rule would be to cause considerable diffiâ€" culty. The council thought, however, that similar permission to that of last year should be granted to the ladies of the Church of the Nativity for St. Patrick‘s Day. Councillor Ghateauvert said he was not in favour of stopping the St. Patrick Day sale of shamrocks, as he could understand what the day mear:t to the Irish pr:ople, as it would have the same appeal as the St. John the Baptist day to the French people. He thought he would wear a shamrock himself on March 17th. Council gave a similar permission in the matter as was given last year This will allow the sale of the shamrocks by the ladies in s:ore in town for the day. Council adjourned after a session of less than an hour but at which conâ€" siderable business was dealt with. Fred Elston Dies at North Bay, Aged 83 Father of R. Elston and Mrs. W.

The clerki pointed out that the money owed the town csuld not be deducted from -theI cheques except with the permission of the parties concerned unless there were court procedure first. Some of those having money due from the town had | asked the clerk to apply it or part of | it on taxes owing, and in these cases it was all right. The matter was left in | the hands of the town clerk to do as well as could be done in the cases reâ€" ferred to.

Permission was then givani‘gl? t by council for the regatta event, t’agsl'wf"( to be sold at the river. Council pointâ€" |‘‘~ ed out that they had not the authority | °*": to give permission for the carnival | °°W4 event. This rested with the provincial | MD3Y police. If the provincial police gavel?}e t; the permission the mayor would nai““:m}' doubt add his approval |a doz \ly different lines to the present day \methods. He referred to the changes }in transportation facilities, industry in ‘general, farm machinery in particular and the remarkable p/cgress in mediâ€" ‘cine, science and art. He showed how !‘.he changing conditions had affected labour and capital and suggested that conditions seem to require further alterations in laws and methods to mest the situation. He advocated the adoption cf unemployment insurâ€" ance and proposed that there should 'be four factors in providing the money |for the insurance against unemployâ€" ment, capital, labour, the government and the rich, each to contribute to the %funds for this purpose under his prlan. Another reference to the unemployâ€" ment problem made by Mr. Cameron was the tentative suggestion that the monsy spent for liquor in this proâ€" vince could be used to provide for all Ontario‘s unemployed. He quoted $56,â€" 600,000.00 as the drink bill for Ontario for 1929, and he read off figures showâ€" ing that this amount of money would buy 200,000 bazs of suger, 200,000 bags Iof ficur, 200,000 bags of po:atoes, 200,â€" ‘000 men‘s suits, 200,000 boys‘ suits, 200,â€" 000 women‘s dresses, and so on, and as the unemployed in the province did not total more than 200,000, there was ‘mcney enough from the drink bill to |provide for all and leave a balance for Ohristmas cheer.â€" Mr. Cameron did not give any idea as to how to collect the ‘liquor money without supplying the liquor, but that detail was offset; by the |interest in the figures quoted and in the general attraction of Imis address, which was much appreciated. A week or so ago the union men operating the talking picture machine equipment at the Goldfields and New Empire theatres, Timmins, and also at New Liskeard and Ansonville theatres were called out on strike. The reason given by the union for this action is dissatisfaction with the hours and pay for the work. On the other hand the theatres claim that there was no trouble in these lines at the Timmins theatres, but that the operators here were called out in "sympathetic strike" with the New Liskeard and Anconville theatres. The management als> claim that this is a break of contract as the theatres conserned are not all under the same cwnership as th> union apâ€" pears to think, but that the different theatres concerned are owned by difâ€" ferent companies. It is known, of course, thai the majority of the stock in the companies is under the same control, but the several theatres are under separate compuanies and separate management. On account of the operâ€" ators leaving here unzxpectedly the New Empire thsatre was closed for a night cr two, but has resumed operaâ€" tion with new operators.

Dr. Moore will speak further on this question at the next meeting of the Kiwanis, there being a resolution to come before the club in this regard.
