Connaught Centre Brief reference was made last week to the boxing ‘ wrestling proâ€" gramme pmsqnted at the Timmins skating rink by St. Anthony‘s Athletic Club, on Wednesday, July ist. Weather conditions and holiday time, with many people out"of town, and cther conditions resulted in a very disapâ€" pointing attendance at the boxing event in the Timmins skating rink on the evening of the holiday. The full card, as advertised,; consisting of wrestling (two bouts) and boxing (five bouts), was given and in spite of the heat the boys gave an excellent exhiâ€" bition, worthy of much better support. E. Laviolette and Victor Banning gave a clever exhibition of wrestling in the middleweight contest, which reâ€" sulted in a draw. Twenty minute time limit. The heavy men, McNulty, of Timâ€" mins, and Grant Eaton, of Toronto, stepped up and started off, looking good. An obviously unintentional foul by Eaton terminated the bout in the first round; McNulty being named the winner. Good Programme of Boxing â€" Wrestling B. Robilliard overcame his oppoâ€" nent in a neat match and a throw of his own invention, after twelve minâ€" utes‘ straight wrestling in a 20â€"minute bout. A comedy bout worth watching was presented between some of the more serious bouts and created much amuseâ€" ment. F. Ladouceur and Len Wadswor@h swapped punches for three rounds in a snappy bout. Wadsworth was on the winner‘s end. Donat Richard, of Timmins, outâ€" boxed and outfought Benny Doherty, of Kirkland Lake, and won easily in this fiveâ€"round Donat is to meet Roy Hamilton, Ontario champion, at an early date, Donat‘s backers giving the challenge from the ring. St, Anthony‘s Club Present Some Exâ€" cellent Bouts at Skating Rink on Deominion Day Here. V. Emard gained the decision over young Maurice 100â€"lb. fighting weight. Sid Burt, of Bristol, Englandâ€"now resident of Timmins,â€"showed the boxâ€" ing public that he could do as was advertised, outclassing Frenchy Morris and winning the bout with ease. There is a hope expressed by many that the St. Anthony‘s Club will stage another boxing programme under their own auspices in the near future. In such a case it is to be hoped that the public will give much better support and attendance to a boxing card of so much interest and snap. A wire from Simcoe over the A. A. Amos Partners‘ private wire this morning says that Norfolk County reâ€" mains in the Conservative ranks, Dr, A. C. Burt winning with a majority of 60 votes after a keen battle. A. C.

Public School Inspector If was decided to make the next meeting of the Kiwanis an evening meeting and a ladies‘ night, in honour of the visit of the Governor. The meetâ€" ing will be held in the large dining hall at the New Empire and it is expected there will be a large attendance of Kiâ€" wanis and their friends to greet the Govâ€" ernor. Governor McNabb is a speaker of unusual ability and interest and his address will be a special treat to all. Members wishing to bring guests are to notify any one of the committeeâ€"Carl Eyre, Dr. Honey, W. Rinn and C. G. Keddieâ€"before Saturday of this week. Thse occasion will be of special interest throughout not only to members of the Kiwanis Club but to their friends. The latest suggestion in the way of handling the unemployment question is a proposal said to have originated with Premier Henry for the organization of labour battalions for Northern Ontario to care for the transients and generally to relieve the situation. Coincident with this announcement is the word that the Ontario Government expects soon to make an announcement in reâ€" gard to the Transâ€"Canada highway route. All here recognize the seriousâ€" ness of the unemployment situation all over this North, and it is felt that unless something is done the sit uation will be more than serious this winter" The question is one of much importance that all will be interested to read the following from The Mail and Empire on Wednesday of this week. The Mail and Empire can be accepted as practically official in such a case, which adds much Labour Battalions , Suggested in Nor‘tifi At Monday‘s meeting special attenâ€" tion was given to the fact that on Monâ€" day of next week, July 13th, the Timâ€" mins Club will be honoured by a visit from the Governor of the Ontarioâ€"Queâ€" becâ€"Maritimes District, Isaac P. Mcâ€" Nabb, of Peterborough. It is expecied that Rev. J. Douglas Patterson, now rector of All Saints‘ Cathedral, Peterâ€" borough, will accompany the Governor here and be a guest of the Timmins club during‘his visit here. ‘o the interest. In its reference to the matter, The Mail and Empire on Wedâ€" nesday of this week says:â€" "Organization of labour battalions to take care of the transient unemployed in Ontario will, it is understood, to thorâ€" oughly Gdiscussed by Hon. George S. Henry, Premier, and Senator Gideon Robertson, Federal Minister of Laboutr, who are conferring on the unemployâ€" ment situation in Ottawa this, week. Ssuch a scheme has been urged upon the On‘ario Government recently by deâ€" putations from various centres in the province. Premier Henry Said to Have New Plan to Find Work for Transients. Word Soon About Transâ€"Canada Highway Route. At the weekly luncheon of the Kiâ€" wanis Club on Monday of this week the time of the meeting was largely taken up with discussions on business affairs. The spraker for the day disappointed the club, being unable to be prtresent. The one visitor for the day, Mr. Seager, of Toronto, was introduced by President J. R. Walker}‘ Mr. Seager is on the staff of the McColl Bros. Limited. "Should the organization be underâ€" taken, it will be carried out along miliâ€" tary lines, it is expected. It is believed a particular field for the battalions would be found in Northern Ontario, in connection with the Transâ€"Canada righway, construction work in the Temiskasing and Northern Ontario Railway, and forest fire prevention and suppression.

M TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 9TH, 1391 Seitlers all through the North have had a difficult time in making their needs and wishes known and so when a general association of settlers was orâ€" ganized at Kapuskasing last year the various districts have been prompt in the establishment of branches. One of the latest to plan organizaiion is the ‘ownship of Mountjoy. After many the settlers had discussed the question it was left in the hands of R. Mcâ€" Whirter to call a meeting and make other arrangements for organization; Accordingly a meeting of all the setâ€" tlers of Mountjoy has been called for Saturday â€"evening of next week, Juiy 18th, at 7.30 pm. at F. Boissoneault‘s place, lot 4, concession 2. President.J. Lacasse of the Northern Ontario Setâ€" kers‘ Association has writ‘ten to Mr. Mcâ€" Whirter t‘o say he will be present to explain the plans and purposes of the Northern Ontario Settlers‘ Association. A. F. Koenning, M.P.P., it is also hoped will be present. as well as some others specially interested in the progress and welfare of the settlers. All settlers in Mountjoy township are cordially invitâ€" ed to attend the meeting as it is hope2d to have it fully representative of the people of the township. Work Commenced (M Extension of H. S. "The Fox Construction Company, of Toronto, who were awarded the conâ€" tract for the building of the addition to the Timmins Higsh and Technical School building have lost no time in getting the work under way‘~. A carload of material came in last week for the work and more is now arriving. The contractors were on the job here as soon as they were aware that they were the successful tenderers. Work started this week on excavation and preparation for the foundation of the new addition. There are about twenty men now at work but this number will be much inâ€" creased as the work proceeds. There is a clause in the contract that requires that local labour be used exclusively wherever available, and of course at the present there is plenty of available labour. Bona fide citizens of Timmins are to be employed at the work. The addition will be at the rear of the presâ€" ent building and will be of the same fireâ€"rtroof type of material. The work will to some exitent help out the unâ€" employment situation here as fide residents of Timmins will be given the preference. The work will have to b> carried through with despatch as the contract calls for the completion of the addition by Oct. 15th." About Twenty Men Busy at Excavation Work. .

Vacâ€" cination provides a safeguard against the danger of contracting smallpox and the clinic is offering this opportunity for protecting chilldren from this disâ€" ease. Mountjoy Settlers Meeting on July 18 Meeting Called to Organize a Branch of the Northern Ontario Settlers‘ Association for Mountjoy. FREE VACCINATION AT THE CLINIC AGANST SMALLPOX l ne Modbante \‘~One of .the worst electrical storms 0° the season visited this section on Tuesâ€" day afternoon, the worst fury of the storm being at halfâ€"past five o‘clock. The power was put out of business for a time, though the service was resumed in less than an hour and a half, Severâ€" al places were struck by lightning in the district. Two houses in town were damaged by lightning. These two houses were the residence of James Landers, 9 Main avenue, and the house At 12 Commercial avenue, occupied by J. Morin, which is immediately behind the Main street residence. Between the two houses there was a clothes line attached to a high pole. The lightnâ€" ing struck the clothes line and travelled both ways. The lightning hit the rear end of Mr. Landers‘ house, tearing the sheeting near one of the windows, and entering the back kitchen where it splintered the floor. The family had a narrow escape from injury, and were also fortunate in that fire did not start from the bolt of lightning. At Mr. Morin‘s resident at 12 Comâ€" mercial avenue more damage was done by the lightning. Two windows were broken and the woodwork shattered. Four saucers were broken in a curt>0oard, and a black mark was mape across the whiteâ€"painted woodwork.‘ A very unusual and remarkable inciâ€" dent again showing the freakishness of lightning is reported as occurring at house on the corner of Birch street and Seventh avenue. The house is occupied by Finnish people and the family were at supper when the lightning struck. One of the children in the family was eating meat and had a strip of bone in her hand when the lightning struck. The bone turned bluish cclour and remained so. The little girl had her hand and arm paralyzed by the lightâ€" ning and for hours after the child was not able to use her hand. It was hours before the injured arm had recovered. The youngster is reported now as being fully recovered from the odd experiâ€" ence. The next game in the senior baseball will be at Timmins grounds on Wedâ€" nesday next, July 15th, when the Mcâ€" Intyres intend and expect to redcen: themselves by a specially good game of ball and a nice win.

In both cases the damage was very slight. The Temiskaming Bassball League game yesterday was a‘ Kirkland Lake and the Wrightâ€"Hargreaves team came out at the top with a 7 to 6 score. A comedy of errors by the visiting McInâ€" tyres and the clever baseâ€"stealing by the Wrigh:â€"Hargreaves were the chief factors making the result. At that it was a good game for the fans and the Wrigktâ€"Hargreaves team had no easy walkâ€"away" The score shows that the game was a wellâ€"contested one, Langâ€" don and Blake were the battery for the McIntyres, while Tennant and Genese did the honours in this respect for the Wrightâ€"Hargreaves. There was A big crowd out to see the match, and the weather was about ideal for good ball. McIntyre Wrightâ€"Har grea.v es The storm on Tuesday hit here at a particularly undesirable hour. Most people were preparing the evening meal when the power went off, Everybody suffered from the power going off, from the peorlle who orly used lights in the electrical line, to those who have all sorts of electrical equipment such as electric stoves, refrigerators, etc. Forâ€" tunately the power company was able to locate the exact spot where the trouble occurred from the lightning, and soon the power was on again and everything going along as usual.

The committee in charge of the Leâ€" gion Week of Wonders and sports day met on Monday evening of this week to complete final details of the sports day, August 3rd. Previous to comâ€" mencing business, Col. Scobell introâ€" duced Mr. Packer, of the Viâ€"Tone Comâ€" pany, who is in the North completing an advertising campaign for that comâ€" pany. He told the members present about the training camp of famous swimmers their company operates and also of the visit to this camp of sevâ€" eral of the swimmersâ€"inâ€"training. He had completed arrangements with the Goldfield Drug Co. to include these swimmers in the Big Swim at Golden City. Mr. Packer asked the Legion to assist in this event and promised a little present to all attending at Golden City on August 3rd. After a very thorough discussion of the suggestion it was decided to postpone the field sports here on August 3rd to Sept. 16th, and assist with the visit of the swimmers from the Viâ€"Tone camp. Some of the world‘s most famous longâ€"distance swimmers will be among the party, including:â€"Marvin Nelson, winner of Toronto Marathon last year; Isador Spondor, runnerâ€"up last year and third in 1929; Miss Marguerite Ravoir winner of 1930 10â€"mile swim, Toronto Exhibition; Ernst Vierkotter, the famâ€" ous German swimming champion; A. Keating, another of those who have been in the money in years past; and Clarence Ross, world‘s short distance champion who will try to lower the 100 years‘ record at Golden City. There will also be another eight or nine champions with the party, and all will enter the Goldfield Drug Co. Swim on that date. Tags, for which a donation to the relief fund of Timmins branch, Canadian Legion will be asked, will be on sale during the day at Golden City, the sponsors of the visit making this a special request to the public as no other charge can be made. In the evening of Monday, August 3rd, all these swimmers will personally appear at the skating rink, Timmins, and it would be well for all to secure their tickets now. These can be had by seâ€" curing a donatian admission ticket, good for five nights and a chance for some excellent prizes. This is an event well worth attending, if only to see some of the Marathoners in action and a large crowd is expected, Be at Golden City early, first race at 1.00 p.m. ~_The annual big swim at Golden City is to be a specially noteworthy event this yvear. It will be held on August 3rd and in addition to the usual events there. will be a number of the famous Swimmers of the world present for the occasion. These will include Marvin Nelson, Isador Spondor, Marguerite Ravoir, Ernst Vierkotter, Keating, Clarence Ross and many others. The big swim this year will be under the joint auspices of the Goldfield Drug Co. and the Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion. Chief Borland had the cast taken off his injured arm this week and finds the arm recovering splendidly. He is able to move the fingers, arm, etc., and it is evident the arm will be all right again. The arm will be carried in a sling for a time yet, but it will not take long for it to return to normal. Noted Swimmers to be at Golden City Remarkable Features to Big Swim Under Auspices of Goldfield Drug Co. and the Canadian Legion As Expected the Conference at North Bay Endorses the the Route Along the North Shore of Lake Superior and Also a Connecting Road from Hearst, Government to Decide Which to Call Transâ€"Canada Highway. Conference Recommends the Building of the Two Routes _ The representatives of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade inâ€" troduced a resolution in effect asking that after a survey of the several proâ€" posed routes the Government select the best route for the highway. This reâ€" solution of course was superseded by the resolution given above. The conâ€" ference, of course, as has been stated before, was not representative of the North in any way and so proves nothing. If the Government follows the recomâ€" mendation of the conference it will be because the Government had already deciasd to do so, and simply wishes some form of supiport from the people. It will be noted by a reacing ci the resolution that as suggested in The Advance both Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie in effect have their firstâ€"favâ€" oured routes endorsed. It will be noted that according to the resolution Chaâ€" pleau is to be connected with the highâ€" way, but as it does not specify where the connection is to be made, and as the naming of the highway route is still left to the Government, it is not difficult to figure out the answer. . Averaging a Call a Day Here Recently There was a bad fire in the Goldale townsite Wednesday morning about eleven o‘clock, the burning house being outside the town limits. As soon as the brigade was notified of the fire a prompt response was made. The fire had such a grip of the house by this time that it could not be saved, but two nearby houses in serious danger of catching fire were saved through the good work of the Timmins brigade. It was necessary to lay 1.300 feet of hose to fight this fire. The house was own~â€" ed by J B. Gastonguay, and gccupied by his brother and family. The buildâ€" ing was very badly damaged, and there was no insurance carried. The cause of the fire is unknown. There were stories to the effect that there was a mother and baby inside the house after the firemen arrived, but these stories were found to be without basis, all in the house escaping without in jury. House Burns Down in Goldale Townâ€" site, Outside Town, but Nearby Places Saved. Prompt Action Averts Serious Fire at Taylor Hardware. Timmins fire brigade have been kept busy for some days past, averaging a call a day. Fortunately most of the calls have been given in time so that the firemen‘s good work has prevented any serious damage. One of such cases was that of the call to the Taylor Hardware on Friday. Some waste outâ€" side had taken fire and the flames had gotten in through the window above the back door, setting fire to some tents and paving the way for a serious fire. Another ten minutes would likely have meant a bad fire. As it was the firemen soon had all danger removed with little damage resulting. The fire took place at 12.15. This morning at 9.45 the firemen had a call to Deas‘ bakery, 117 First avenue. Heated pipes passing through» a partition caused this fire, The damâ€" age done was slight; the firemen only needed the one chemical tank to exâ€" tinguish the blaze. Messrs E. J. Myers and "Ruddy" Rutherford were visitors to Timmins on Monday evening. These two former residents here were. on their way by canoe route to the new Matachewan gold camp where they intend to open up a drug store in that new gold disâ€" trict. "That this conference make the reâ€" commendation to the Government of Ontario that they build the road from Sault Ste. Marie to White River and through to Nipigon and that the road be connected up with Hearst to Horneâ€" payne and White River, and for, every mile built between the Sault and White River one mile be built between Hearst and White River; and that we leave it to the Government as to which line of road they call the Transâ€"Canada highâ€" way. Also that we ask for a road from the Transâ€"Canada highway into Chaâ€" pleau. s tails of the meeting are not available at the time of going to press, but over the long distance phone from North Bay this morning The Advance was given the following resolution as being passed unanimously by the conference: t eP AP P CAAA CAAA AP C P Paid Circulation Last W eek 5i3 4 @_ e D MbA C
