A lengthy commun‘catiocn waSs rEau from the Veterinary Director Gemer2® at Oitawa in regard to the testing of cows for tuberculo:sis. Councillor Chatâ€" eauvert explained that he had writteon first to J. A. Bradstte, M.P., in the matâ€" ter and had been referred to the proâ€" vincial department, and later by the provincial department to the Veterinâ€" ary Director Gensral. He had been looking for a plan to help the dairymen in regard to the cost of the tests for tuberculosis, and though} perhayps the governmeni might help either by fres tests or assistance or by paying part of the cost of cows condemned as tuberâ€" cular. Councillor Chateauvert referred to one milkman who had 21 cows conâ€" demned as tubercular, but their milk sent to laboratories in Montreal had been reported by the government offiâ€" cials there as free from tuberculosis. Sanitary Inspector Dunn in reply to a question said he had been told that tests for tuberculosis can not be madse from milk cnly, that the cows had to be tested. He had the official letter to this effect on fyle in his office, he thought, though is was some years ago. Councillor Caron and Chateauvert both raised the question as to whether the town could make the tests for tuberâ€" culosis compulsory when the Dominion left it of:ional. Councillor Caron thought that unpasteurized milk could be brought into town by farmers and dairymen despite the byâ€"law, so long as it was their own production. Counâ€" cillors Caron and Chateauvert thought the opinion of the town solicitor should be secured on the question. Council Discusses Testing (/’ of Cows for Tuberculosts A letter was received from the stating that the tax notice for 18 not been received on account 0 sent to the wrong address, and tax notices in recent years wE out at different times of the ye company thought refund of the : should be made in this case. Th ter was left over for checking 1 sessor Channen saying the notic been sent out to the address ap in the books prior to 1927. The regular meeting of the council was held on Monday afte with Mayor Drew in the chair Councillors A. Caron, Dr. Hone Richardson, J. T. Chenier, J. ] Chateauvert and J. Morrison pres Other members of council pointed out that the council was not making tuberâ€" culosis tests for cows compulsory, but the byâ€"law simply set out the condiâ€" tions under which milk could be sold in town. Anyone could sell milk elseâ€" where if they desired. Councillor Chateauvert asked if any milkmen had been fined for breach of the milk byâ€"law. Sanitary Inspector Dunn said not. Two had been stopped selling milk until they improved conâ€" ditions. Licenses were issued every year and these licenses could be withâ€" held or suspended if conditions were not right. Councillor Chateauvert Asks if Te pulsory by Town when Dominion Byâ€"law Says so, Mayor Points C Opinion on Matter. More Den Heard. Those in Need Refert Other Council Business. Mayor Drew said that the council wanted to be fair to the milkmen but also it was necessary to protect the public health. He thought the quesâ€" tion raised could be discussed at the meeting of the board of health that evening. Eventually it was decided to have A. C. Brown, solicitor, give an opinion on the legality of the byâ€"law, if the byâ€"law is in order, if the council has the right to require a test twice a year for tuberâ€" culosis in dairy cows, and if the town by byâ€"law can prohibit the sale in town of other than milk. Mr. Bouviere, Balsam north, asked council for from danâ€" ger of flooding of his garden. This had been given by use of screens, etc., but recently he said the ditch had been filled up with sand to protect the moâ€" torists. The board of works and Town Engineer MacLean were asked to look into the matter. A petition was before council asking for the grading of Pirst avenue from Preston street down and for a wosod walk. â€"Councillor Chenier spoke in favâ€" our of the petition, which was referred to the board of works for consideration. Council had soms more "demands" from the communists, who this time only asked that council provide tickets and cash for board, lodging and other necessities of life for the unemployed, the suggestion being that there were hundreds of such here. Councillor Chatcauvert said that this question came in his department, the continâ€" gencies committee, and he was in favâ€" our of any who were in need. He wanted to know of any cases, who they were and where they were from. "If the gentlaman can show hundreds starving or needing a bed, we will have to lock after them," said Councillior Chateauvert, who said the names and particulars should be given to Mr. Dunn, the relief officer. When the mayor asked if there was (Continued on Page Eight) mm en s i CCC teauvert Asks if Tests Can be Made Comâ€" swn when Dominion Makes Tests Optional. so, Mayor Points Out.

It is to be hoped that |the response is generous as the cause lis a very worthy one. The rest of the ' campaign here has been successful and | with the tag day equalling that of past 'years the Timmins corps of the Army l will be all ready for another year‘s good |work. The annual Selfâ€"Denial Week Fund is collected for the purpose of financing the social welfare and rescue work of the Army. From the fund the Army receives the sinews of war for police court and prison work, relief work, rescue work and general welfare work for the benefit of men, women and ‘ children. The Cobalt correspondent of The Northern News last week says:â€""Miss Isabel Hansford, of Coaticook, P.Q., who has been visiting her sister in Timmins for the past three months, visited Mrs. Hattie Stevens on Saturâ€" day en route for Windsor, where she Jwill visit her brother." Firemen‘s Big Day Schumacher, July 1 Annual Tournament of the Temiskamâ€" ing Firemen‘s Association to be Held at Schumacher on July Ist, This Year. People of this part of the North Land always expect the annual tournament of the Temiskaming Firemen‘s Associaâ€" tion to be a big, successful and enjoyâ€" ab‘s event, but when the day is held at Schumacher it is assured to be specâ€" ially attractive. This year the annual tournament of the Temiskaming Fireâ€" men‘s Association will be held at Schuâ€" macher, and arrangements are now unâ€" der way to present a day of much inâ€" terest and enjoyment. For many years past the Temiskaming Firemen have held their tournaments on July 1st.

SALVATION ARMY HOLDING TAG DAY TOâ€"DAY (THURSDAY) The Kiwanis Club is seeking to mainâ€" tain the highest possible attendance at all meetings and to this end is making each weekly luncheon as attractive as possible.

Mcore whose talks are always of special interest and attraction. For Monday, June Ist, the speaker for the day at the luncheon will be C. V. Gallagher, reeve of Tisdale township. Reeve Galâ€" lagher is an Ontario land surveyor and recently has been busy in regard to stakings in the new Matachewan gold field, and his address on June 1st will deal with that very interesting new"gold camp.

Borland, who sustainâ€" ed a badly ~fraciured arm on May 2nd in a fall on the stairs in the Feldman b‘ack. and who was taken to the St. Mary‘s hospital as a consequence of the accident, was operated upon this week and is now making the best of progress to recovery, the operation having been very successful. On jaccount of ‘the serisusness of the compound fractures Mrs. J. J. Dunstan, a highlyâ€"respec:â€" ed resident of the town and distric} for a number of years past, died at St. Mary‘s hospital las: week a few hours after being taken there suffering from burns caused by. a gasoline exp.osion while she was cleaning some~paint brushes. The gascline exploded and the fiames caught hsr clothing causing serious burns to the face, arms and upâ€" per par: of the body. A neighbour who attempted to assist her was burnâ€" ed the hands. The unfortunate vic:im of the accidsnt, which occurred on Thursday afterncoon last, was rushâ€" ed to th»> hospital, but despite all that medical skill and care could do, she pussed away. Mrs. Dunstan, who lived at 81 Main avenue, was alone a; the time of the accident, but her calls brought assisâ€" tancse. Mr. and Mrs. Dunstan and family have lived here for the past eleven"years and enjoyed the highest regzard of all. She is survived by the bareaved husband and two children, ‘wins, Marjorie and Donald, about eighteen years of age. To these and to the other relatives and friends the sinâ€" zerest sympathy of all will be extendâ€" Chief Borland Makirtg Excellent Recovery of the arm, with the consequent swellâ€" ing, etc., it was impossible to set the arm until Wednesday morning of this week. This operatiion was successfully performed yesterday and Chief Borland is now well on the way to recovery from the unfortunate accident. His hosts of friends in the town and district will be delighted to know that everything is going well, and the fire chief‘s own promise that he will attend the annual Fire Dept. ball on May 22nd may be fulfilled. The funeral took place on Sunday from the family residence to Timmins somzc‘ery. Services were conducted ai the home by Rev. Bruce Millar, minisâ€" ter of the Church, Timmins. The funeral was very largely attended and the many filoral tributes told of the sorrow at the death of Mrs. Dunâ€" stan and the sympathy felt for those bereaved. Speakers at Kiwanis Next Week and June lIst Out of Hospital After a Fall of Twenty Feet His many friends in the camp were pleased to see J. C. McDonald able to be cut of the hospital last week after an accident that might have had much more serious consequences. He was working on a scaffold at the McIntyre last week when the loasening of a bolt caused the scaffold to sag throwing him to the ground, a distance of twenty feet. He struck chiefly on the side of his face but fortunately his fall was broken in such a way that h> was not seriously hurt. His face was scratched and cut to considerable extent, but will not be permanently injured. He had a very fortunate escape. To The Advance last week Mr. McDonald exâ€" plained that a wrong impression might be taken from the account of the acciâ€" dent as given in last week‘s Advance. From that account it would appear that he Eimself had loosened the nut on one of the bolts on the platform thus causâ€" ing the accident. This was not the case. the nut being loosened by a man workinz with him, the helper mistakâ€" ing the scaffold bolt for one of the bolts in the work under construction. The Advance is pleased to make this correction and still more pleased that no serious consequences followed the accident. xplosion of Gasoline Responsibe for Death of Highlyâ€"esteemed Resident of the Town on Thursday of Lact Week. rs.

Wor. Bro. J. Gurnell, recently installâ€" ed Master, occupied the chair and after the feeding of the inner man was comâ€" pleted an enjoyable evening of songs and toasts was presented. The first toast of the evening "The King and Craft‘" was responded to by the whole: gathering singing the National Anâ€" them. A vocal solo by C. Roberts won extended applause, with W. H. Wilson at the piano. Wor. Bro. Chas. Ramsay then proposed the toast to "The Grand Lodge of Canada in the Prov. of Ont., A. F. A. M., the Grand Master and the District Deputy Grand Master" in a few well chosen remarks. A quartette by Bros. Dodge, Cowan, Geils, and Mr. Jos. Heffernan, with Bro. Harold Kearâ€" ney at the piano, was enthusiastically applauded. In responding to the toast to "the Grand Lodge® Rt. Wor. Bro. D. Cramp mentioned the recent death of Most Wor. Bro. the Hon. John S. Marâ€" tin, former Grand Master, and in a few words outlined some of the sterling qualities which the late Bro. Martin had. In silent tribute to the late Grand Master the gathering stood in silence for two minutes. After the observance of this tribute Bro. Cramp spoke briefly on Masonry, the lodges in Ontaric and its progress in this province. He also thanked the ladies of the O. E. S. for the splendid luncheon provided. Bro. Dcdge ther delightel the gathering with a solog after which Wor. Bro. Whyte proposed the toast to the "Inâ€" stalling Master, Rt. Wor. Bro. N. J. McAulay" in a short but interesting speech. A solo by Jas Geils followed after which Bro. McAulay responded with a few words expressing his pleaâ€" sure at again visiting Golden Beaver Lodge, and complimenting the Lodge on the splendid turnout of members for the occasion of the installation. A vocal solo by Jos. Ormston was particuâ€" larly well received after which Wor Bro. G. S. Lowe proposed the toast to visitors."‘ this being responded to About 150 members of Golden Beaver Lodge, A. F. A. M., and visiting memâ€" bers of the Masonic Craft were present at the local Mazonic temple last night for the installation of the officers for Golden Beaver Lodge for the coming vear. Rt. Wor. Bro. N. J. McAulay, of Haiâ€" leybury, was installing master, assisted by Wor. Bros. D. Cramp, F. K. Ebbitt, J. Mason, Dr. Haentschel, G. S. Code, McWilliams, Mills, Rt. Wor. Bro.

Bro. F K. Ebbitt, of Iroquois Falls, Wor. Bro Mason of South Forcupine and Bro. G S. Drew, mayor of the Town of Timâ€" mins. Bro. Thos. Nixon then gave a short entertainment consisting of sleight of hand tricks after which Bro. A. Wright proposed the Junior Warâ€" den‘s toast, the gathering ending with the singing of "O Canada." The funeral took place on Tuesday, May 12th, of Edward Mossenta, who for several years was a popular resident of the town. He was an employee of the Hollinger and had many friends here, At the time of death he was about 37 years of age. Death was due to an abâ€" SCess,. Complaint was made by merchants to the police regarding cheques they had accepted and which proved to be forgâ€" eries. The cheques were apparently good, the stamped signature being that of the Hawk Lake Lumber Co. After ;the cheques went through the bank, however, it was found that the signaâ€" ture of Mr. Humphies on the cheques had been forged. Among the merchants victimized in the matter were Messrs. Ellies, J. Thomas and Mr. Bowie, while other cheques of the same kind are said to have been passed in town. one of ‘them on the landlady of a boarding house. After an investigation by the |police a warrant was issued for the |arrest of Jack Boyle, a young man of |29 years, who recently worked in the Hawk Lake Co. office. When search was made for him, however, it was found that he had left home at an early ’hour Monday morning and apparently 'had gone to parts unknown. From inâ€" formation given the police, this fellow had secured some cheque forms which he filled out and passed on local busiâ€" ness people. As the company‘s standâ€" ing is high, there was no difficulty in Ipassing the cheques without arousing suspicion. The young man apparently would buy some goods and present a cheque in payment, taking the balance in cash. Boyle had besn married here about three months ago, and his wife lbemg felt t c sihewkeerte woeyTTT i he disappeared. A description of the man has been broadcasted to police deâ€" partments and the police hope to secure his apprehension at an early date. The amount involved does not appear to be llarge probably two or three hundred dollars but the principle involved is a serious one. Four More Responses to the Call of T.B.A.A. Mrs. G. A. Macdonala, who was oprâ€" ated on recently at St. Mary‘s hospital, was able to leave the hospital on Monâ€" day of this week, and is continuing to make the best progress to complete reâ€" covery. Since the last reference in The Adâ€" vance only four more have responded to the call of the Timmins Boys‘, Athâ€" letic Association for membership fees on which to carry on this good work. The four responding now are:â€"Sam Bucovetsky, E. M. Allworth, the T. Eaton Company and N. R. Wightman. This makes a total of 33 members for the T. B. A. A., each paying a memberâ€" ship fee of $10.00 per year. The idea is that from these membership fees encugh money is raised to carry on the T. B. A. A. work. For this purpose it is necessary to have 150 members. With only 33 paying up so far it will be seen that further response to the call is abâ€" solutely necessary if the work is to be carried on. The Advance does not think that many people would like to see the work dropped. It has been looking after about half a thousand town boys for summer and winter sport. With the T. B. A. A. plan there are no further calls for boys‘ sports, for prizes, tickets or what not. The plan seems to be successful and desirable from all standpoints. When it was started some years ago about 150 pledged themselves to pay the ten dollars membership each year. It is to be hoped that in the next week or so the response will be generous, so as to permit the continuâ€" ance of the work. Any particulars about the work will be gladly given by C. G. Keddie, president of the T.B.A.A. C. M. Grant, secretary, or P. T. Moisâ€" ley, manager. Passed Bad Cheques on Merchants Here His hosts of friends in the district will be delighted to know that S. A. Calbick, who was recently operated upâ€" on at the St. Mary‘s hosrital for apâ€" pendicitis is now sufficiently recovered to be able to resume his official duties as Crown Attorney this week. His return to the work at his oflice at this time offsets an error appearing one evening this week in The Toronto Telegram. The Telegram announces that A. C. Brown has been appointed Crown Atâ€" torney for the District of Cochrane, which, of course is an error, this posiâ€" tion being held by Mr. Caldbick. The error arose as followsâ€"During the illâ€" ness of Mr. Caldbick it was necessary to have a barrister and solicitor to carry on the work of the office, and Mr. Brown was asked to take the position during ‘the duration of Mr. Caldbick‘s absence. Mr. Brown had to decline on account of the fact that his large court practice prevented him considering the idea of ccecupying the post of Crown Attorney even temporarily. W. O Langdon was than appointed to the duty for the time being and carried on the work effectively and well. In the meantime, however, the department at Toronto, in order to Ikve the office fillâ€" ed for the time being had apri>jinted Mr. Brown, who, however, had again been forced to decline the post owing to his own practice. In the meantime the recovery of the Crown Attorney himâ€" If, S. A. Caldbick, makes other temâ€" porary appointment unnecessary. Warrant Issued for Arrest of Young Man Accused of Forgery, Several Merchants Lose from Cheques Passed on Them. S, A. CALDBICK BACK AT HIS DUTIES AS CROWN ATTORNEY A.Y.P.A. Has First of Annual Banquets The grace was sung; Miss Sinclair toasted the King; the diners responded by singing the National Anthem; and then everyone proceeded to enjoy the royal spread prepared by the Ladies‘ Guild, who were later very heartily thanked for their very successful work. The firstâ€"annual banauet of the A. Y. F. A. was held on Tuesday evening in the church hall and provided its memâ€" bers and their guests with a very enâ€" joyable evening. Following community singing while the tables were being cleared, an imporâ€" tant part of the programme was carâ€" ried out by the rector, the following officers being installed for the ensuing year:â€"S. G. Towler, president; Miss E. Sinclair, viceâ€"president; Mrs. Gadsby, treasurer and Miss Hogg, secretary. A welcome was extended to them by Mr. Gadsby, the new president responding in an effective manner. After Robt. Garner had toasted the A. Y. P. A. explaining its aims and obâ€" jects, and effective response being made by Mrs. Gadsby, Miss Sinclair moved a hearty vote of thanks to Rev R.. S. and Mrs. Cushing for their personal coâ€" operation in the past year, the remarks being very warmly applauded. Eloquent Jewish Lecturer and Educationalist Urges V arâ€" ious Nations to Bring Their Gifts of Music, Science, Art and History to the Building of a Greater Nation Here. Understanding More Desirable Than Tolerance. Help Build the True Democracy, He Urges. A toast to the Church, proposed by C. R. Walker and responded to by Rev. R. S. Cushing, was very suitable to to the occasion. Delightful Event on Tuesday Evening This Week. Officers cof A.Y.P.A. Duly Installed for the Ensuing Year. Inspiring Address by Dr. Wise to the Timmins Kiwanis Club The social part of the evening then took its turn, with W. D. Forrester, R. Garner, Mrs. J. Knell, Mrs. Gadsby and Miss Sinclair supplying excellent enâ€" tertainment, which was supplemented by games. After a delightful evening, Mrs. Knell and her committee were duly thanked, and the event brought to a ciose in the usual manner by the rector. Wm. Colton Succumbs to Injuries Sustained Wm. Colton, who was badly injured | last wesk by a fall of rock at the Mcâ€" Intyre Mins where he was working, died on Tuesday of thits at the St. Mary‘s hospital. The funeral took place on ‘Wednesday morning to the| Church of the Nativity, the late Wm. Colton being very popular and highly esteemed by all who knew him. There were many floral tributes and other evidences of the dsert sympathy and sorrow felt at the death. The deceasâ€" ed, who was a young man of very fine j type, had been a couple of years in this camp and had made wide circles of friends here. His home was in Killaâ€" loe, Renfrew County, Ontario. The inâ€" quest necessary in all mine accidents will be held this week. The Rt. Rev. J. G. Anderson, D.D., LL.D., Bishop of Mcoosonee, will adâ€" minister the rite of confirmation in St. Matthew‘s church on Sunday morning next at 11 o‘clock. His Lordship will also preach at the evening service, on the plart of the tolerated. It was .not so much a question of superiority or inferiority. in regard to different races, nations and creeds, as a matter of difâ€" ferencso. The United States had boastâ€" ed of its great "melting pot". Such a ting pot, Dr. Wise thought, would be contrary to the whole spirit and meaning of democracy. Democracy‘s very life depended on difference and in dividuality. ‘"We do not want to level all to one standard; tha! is the mark of the herd," he said. Civilizaâ€" tion According to Dr. Wiss ts the art of being oneself and every nation,. every people could contribute their gifts of history, tradition, music, ant, literature, and deep knowledge of life. He did not believe that the man who ‘"They tell you sometimes to forget all about your old land and traditions, and your people and their history and achievemen‘ts, and to start here anew. That is like coming here with empty hands. It is worse: it is like saying, "I could have brought you great gifts from distant places and far days, but I threw them into the sea." Dr. Wise urged all from every land to hold to the good of their own peorte and traditions and to add these gifts to the democracy being built in this new land. The speaker mentioned great names such as Shakeâ€" speare, Beethoven, Voltaire, Homer, Plaio, Dante and cthers. These were men intensely national in their viewâ€" points and attitude to life and men, yet each of tpem was a gift to all the world, men whose genius was the common heritage of demoscracy. Dr. Wise urged all to ho‘d fast to ‘the inspiration and incentive of their races and nations and to bring their great traditions to this new country to bless it and expand its usefulness and vision. All here had the opportunity to mould this new land to the greater democracyâ€"the true deâ€" mozrracyâ€"where ya20ple of different views and opinions and history and traditicns .will work togsther for the common freedom and the common adâ€" vance. car} away comprfieilely all thought of the honoured and ancient people from whom he came could be a good citizen of the new land he might adaopt. Dr. James Waterman Wise, of Now York, a noted Jewish leader, lecturer, author and educationalist, who was in town in connection with the United Palestine Appeal, was the speaker at the Kiwanis Club here at the luncheon cn Monday, and all who heard him were delighted and inspired, and grateful to L. Halperin and the others responsible for the club members and guests having opportunity to listen to this eloquent and helpful orator In a brief but comprenensive introâ€" ductiscn Chas. Pierce presented the speaker of the day. At the opening Dr. Wise captured the full attention of the large gathering by his’ap; wit, humour and pointed anecâ€" cies. His subject, he said, might be given as "Culture and Democracy," if the full and true meaning of the words were known. To Canada and the Unitâ€" ed States, the speaker said, had came psesple of different racial and national stoccks and the nations on this continâ€" ent had the problem of dealing with groups and blending them into a greatl In this work service clubs like the Kiwanis had a great opportuniâ€" ty for true service. It was not tolerâ€" ance tha:s was needed, so much as unâ€" derstanding. Personally he said he disliked the word tolerance. It seemed to indicate the idea of superiority on the part of the tolerator and inferiority Dr. Wise‘s gifled address won unâ€" stinted and sincere applause. Presiâ€" dent J. R. Walker, who conducted the meeting in his usual able way, exâ€" pressed the thanks of the club to the speaker for the day. The grill room was filled to capacity, there being many visitors present for the event, as well as all members of the club able to atâ€" tend. â€" Community singing featured the occasion. Owing to the fact that Dr. Wise had to leave on the 12.25 train, the lunchâ€" eon event commenced at 11 o‘clock, in â€" stead of 12. Dr. Wise was taken through the McIntyre plant and mine on Monday morning and was greatly imptessed with what he saw on this trip, making apt reference to the visit during his address. Announcemen: was made at the lunâ€" cheon of the conclusion of the bridge tournament recently held by the Kiâ€" wanis. F. Feldman was the winner of the tournament, with Dr. Day holding high average, and D. Toiman being awarded the consolation prize. Rev. J. D. Parks, formerly of Timâ€" mins, and who has been minister of S;. Andrew‘s United Church, North Bay, since leaving here, will be succeeded as minister of the North Bay church by Rev. Geo. S. Easton, M.A., now of Sault Ste. Marie. Rev. Mr. Parks goes to Bault Ste. Marie in June this year.
