According to the reports from Kapusâ€" kasing it would seem that the settlers in the area affecied did not respond to the call for the meeting in anything like the numbers that the directors had hoped to secure. This was due to several causes, one of them being the point ofâ€" ten emphasized by The Advance in all the northern district of Cochrane riding was planned for Saturday of last week. The hope was to have a very large and very representative meeting of the settlers of North Cochran»e and to have the crowd addressed by leading public men of the province and Dominâ€" ion concerned in agricultural matters and settlers‘ pwoblems. Rsports from Kapuskasing where the mee:ing was scheduled to be keld suggest that on both sides there was disappointment in the results. The attendance is said to have been much less than hoped for, while the several cabinet ministers and members of the legislature expected to be present failed to show up, with the exception of A. V. Walers, M.L.A. for North CocHrane. As noted in The Advance in recent issues a mass meeling of the settlers of Settlers Convened . at Northern Centre Number of Settlers Gather at Kapusâ€" kasing on Friday of Last. Several Expected Speakers Disappoint the Gathering Lat Week, THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO also inclined to feel that those o;gamz-' ing the meeting should have arranged the affair so that all advertised on the anncuncement were able to be present, even though such a plan migsht have meant the change of date of the meetâ€" ing. In other wores the speakers should have been absolutely assured and the date set to suit them. i ilhe fact that many prominent men expecied to be present were unable to attend was also due to several reasons. In the first place public men have so many calls that it is not always possible for them to arrange to attend any parâ€" ticular meeting, no matter how imporâ€" tant, and especially is this true when it is necessary to travel long distances as required by most meetings in this North. Some of those attending were UC1T7â€"§0 Christian Science Monitor:â€"An ofâ€" f3r is reported from Ohic, based upon a belief that the moon is only 300 miles alcft over a fiat world, of a fund to reâ€" ward av.atcrs $5,000 a mile for efforis to reach that satellite.

The fact that seven children have been killed already this year in motor acciâ€" dents on Toronco streets indicates that the warning is no‘ always taken.

At the Kiwanis International held Jlast week in Miami, Florida, and which was attended by Reg. Smith, as the delegate from the Timmins Kiwanis Club, there were 4,000 delegates and visitors. It was the 15th annual conâ€" vention of the organization. One of ‘he specially interesting features at the convention was the report of Capt. C. E. Jackson, of Brantford, Ont., viceâ€" president of Kikanis Internaticnal, as to the value of aciive Kiwanis clubs in Canada.
