An exceptionally large crop of strawâ€" berries is reported from the Englehart dGiatrict this year. This item «might well be marked and sent to some Southâ€" ern folks who do not realize that the North grows any other fruit than blueâ€" berrioes. Despite the fact that little publicity was given the meeting, there was a fairly good representation at the meetâ€" ing of the Conservatives of South Cochâ€" rane on Saturday of last week at Matheson. J. W. McBain, of Kirkland Lake, was elected president of the asâ€" sociation, and U. L, Acton, formerly of Timmins, but now of Kirkland Lake was elected secretary. Both these officers are widely known and popular, and the association will carry on with success and harmony. The meeting Saturday is reported as a harmonious and interesting one. A. F. Kenning, MP.P. was among those from Timmins in attendance. Season tickets, good for admission to all the nine events are now on sale at $2.00 each, with no charge for tax.

They will be even better this year, and with complete new programme. This proâ€" gramme will please adults and enthrall the youngsters. Another special feature will be the work of John Bockewitz, in a program of animated cartoons, remarkable clay modelling, and dazzling novelties. This artist and the Lucille Elmore Revue Co. make a combination that delights any audience. DISTRICT CONSERVATIVES ELECTED NEW OFFICERS In music, there are equally remarkâ€" able offerings. Herbert Petrie and Company, with the famous Australian sopranc, Constance Nevilleâ€"Johns, will present a programme of unusual variety For the afternoon of the second day, the feature is Oriental Pageant: "The Soul of the Holy Land," by Julius Caesar Nayphe, a young Damascus nobleman, who appears in the costumes of his country and gives a remarkable word picture of the Holy Land and its peoâ€" ple past and present. This feature is remarkable for its beauty, oratory, wit, humour and information. In comedy and comedyâ€"drama there are two companies this year, the Canaâ€" dian Players and the Peerless Players, with notable casts. Either "Turn to the Right," or "Skidding" will be found to be worth the price of the season ticket. and charm. The Petrie novelty orchâ€" estra will delight all. Miss Johns will also give an interesting and attractive illustrated address on "The Land of the Kangaroo." One of the outstanding features will be the lecture by Vilhjalmur Stefansâ€" son, the world famous Arctic explorer and author. He gives a new and true picture of the Arctic and the Eskimos â€"intensely interesting and informaâ€" tive, yet different to the ordinary conâ€" ceptions. This feature is worth more than the price of a season ticket. It is expected that Mr. Stefansson will also be the guest speaker at the Kiâ€" wanis club during his stay in town. The programme to be presented should assure a large attendance and a complete success.

He is now in hospital suffering a fracâ€" ture to the frontal skull and severe inâ€" Jjury to the base of the neck. Along with his men he was at work ricking hay when by some manner or another the apex of the stacker parted and the beams swayed wide and crashâ€" ed to the ground. All ran, and, withn the exception of Mr. Brewer, all got clear. He was hit by one of the 35â€"ft. beams as he jumped to make safety. Prompt work by the men got him to the house; Dr. Byres was requisitioned by phone and was at the farm in short time. Afiler examination, the ambuâ€" lance was sent for and the injured man conveyed speedily to the hospital, Xâ€" ray grartis were taken of his injuries, which, when examined, corroborated Dr. Byers‘ opinion of the injuries.

O. station at 2 p.m. and parade the town, after which they will return to the bandstand where selec:ions will be givâ€" en, as well as an exhibition of Highland dancing by the members of the band. In view of the fact that there have been no band concerts held here this summer, the visit of the Kirkland Lake pipers will be specially appreciated, Timmins people have always been fond of music and appreciative of gocd music and so it is hoped that not only will there be a large attendance to greet the visitors ‘but that the collec:ion taken up to defray the exptrnses of the trip will be a generous one.

As will ba noted by the announcement elsewkere in this issue Timmins is to have a treat on Sunday in the form of a visit and performancs here by the Kirkland Lake Pips Band. The Kirkâ€" land Lake Pipe Band has won a fine reputation in their home district and trips they may take like the one schedâ€" uled for Timmins on Sunday, July 26th, will soon win renown for them all through the North as the members of this pipe band are skilled and able. Those who turn out on Sunday afterâ€" noon to hear the Kirkland Lake Pipe Band will be delighted with the music they will hear as well as with the handsome Highland cos:umes and the talented dancing.

Tourney The Northern Ontario Golf Associaâ€" tion will hold the annual golf chamâ€" pionship tournament at Haileybury on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Auâ€" gust 6th, 7th and 8th. ‘There is great interest being shown in the event and everything is all set .to make it a big success and an enjoyable event. Over fifty entries are expected and it is hopâ€" ed that all the clubs in this part of the North will be well represented on the occasion. At a recent meeting in Hailâ€" eybury the representatives of the variâ€" ous clubs made arrangements for the big event. It was decided that this year‘s competition would be conducted on the plan formerly carried through, that is, a 36â€"hole qualifying round on Thursday, August 6th, with the 16 best scores qualifying for the main event which will consist of an 18â€"hole match play contest. The winner of this event will be the holder of the T. N. O. Commission trophy, emblematic of the association champ‘onship. Cliff Culâ€" ver, of Iroquois Falls, was the winner of this trophy last year. The event will be conducted on an elimination basis, with matches on Friday morning and Friday afternoon, and Saturday morning, with the final Saturday afterâ€" noon. There will be a consolation even:. for those failing to qualify for the main event. The event at Haileybury will be a very enjoyable one throughous for all golfers and is sure to draw a large attendance. The Haileybury course is in fine shape now and will be even betâ€" Frovincial Constable Ralph Crozler, of Coral Rapids, who was injured last week by a bottle and stones thrown at him by a group of transients at Cochâ€" rane on Monday when he attempted to protect a motorist who had been set upon by the parade of unemployed, is now out of the hospital, but word from Cochrane is to the effect that he is still feeling the effects of the injuries received. Constable Crozier among other injuries, suffered what . appears to have been a fracture to the skull. No arrests have been made in connection with the vicious and uncalledâ€"for atâ€" tack upon Constable Crozier, so far as can be learned. Cochrane‘s present troubles would be much lightened, and incidentally all other towns burdened by transients would be also assisted if the guilty party or parties in this case were caught and properly punished. Communist propaganda and agitation is at the bottom of the Cochrane trouâ€" ble. If necessary, every transient in Cochrane should be rounded up and held until the guilty ones are disâ€" covered. In view of the fact that the final outcome to the injuries received by Constable Crozier can not yet be known, arrests seem to be specially in order. At Haileybury This Year on Thursday Friday and Saturday, August 6th, "th and 8th. Expect Over Fifty \ Entries. The Ladies Goif Tournament for 1931 will be held at Iroquois Falls on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Auâ€" gust 13th, 14th and 15th. The special services conducted at the Salvation Army citadel here during the weskâ€"end by Staff Captain and Mrs. Mundy, of Toronto, attracted good crowds and proved most interesting and inspiring. Staff Cap:ain Mundy and Mrs. Mundy were here for three days and provided musical features and adâ€" dresses that were much appreciated. te STAFF CAPTAIN AND MRS. MUNDY PAY VISIT HERE Hon. Chas. McCrea was a visitor to Timmins on Tuesday of this week, the visit here being a personal one and without official significance. The Minâ€" ister of Mines was on his way south afâ€" ter visit north of Cochrane to the lignite fields there and to the power deâ€" velopment area.

R. Pare, for the past three weeks, returned today to his home at Windsor. The change in the schedule for Trains Nos. 17 and 18 has resulted in an improved mail service from here. Trains 17 and 18 are now running only three times a week instead of daily, and as a consequence of this it was necessary to adapt the mail service to the new conditions. The National has been made the mail train for Winnipeg and Cochrane and for Montreal mail. As a result of this the times for the closing of these mails is improved. Mail for Montreal and the south closes now at 9 oclock instead of 7 a.m. There is thus two hours extra time allowed forâ€" answering letters from Montreal and intervening stations. There is an extra hour for gegistered main for Montreal. Mail for Cochrane and Winâ€" nipeg and intervening stations closes at 9 a.m., instead of 11..30 a.m. This change, however, has not any partiâ€" cular effect as the chief business conâ€" nection is to the south and east rather than to the west. A visitor at the club for the occasion was A. V. Galbraith, of East Hampton, Mass., who is visiting his son here, J. McIntosh Galbraith. Mr. A. V. Galâ€" braith is principal of Williston Acaâ€" demy, a prepartory school for boys 14 to 18 years of age. Mail Service Improved by the Change in the Trains Further proof of the general interest of the Kiwanis Club in work for childâ€" ren is the fact that the speaker for the day at the meeting next Monday, July 27th, will be A. G. Carson, superintenâ€" dent of the District of Cochrane Chllaâ€" ren‘s Aid Society, who will give an adâ€" dress on the work for children in the district. At the meeting on Monday, Presiden: J. R. Walker was in the chair, and community singing was a feature of the day‘s programme. The regular weekly luncheon of the Timmins Kiwanis Club on Monday of this week gave spegial indication of the fact that one of the club‘s espezial inâ€" terests is in matters regarding the welâ€" fare of the children. There was no regâ€" ular speaker for the day and general discussion on mati‘ers of interest took up the time of the meeting. It is inâ€" teresting to note how many of the disâ€" cussions related directly or indirectly to work for the advantage of the youngsters. Dr Moore thanked ‘the members of the club for the use of cars to take childrem to and from the recent clinic held for the treatment of tonsils in youngsters‘ Dr. Moore also distriâ€" buted copies of the Ontario Hzsalth Deâ€" pariment almanac for 1931, a booklet that has a large proportion of attenâ€" tion to pay to the children. One of the other matters before the club was a suggestion that the Kiwanis might take action to provide a playâ€" room at the Children‘s Aid Shelter here. The need for a playroom at the Shelter has been evident since the completion of the building but the Society has never felt financially situâ€" ated to proceed itself with the addition of the playroom, though recognizing that it would be a very desirable acquiâ€" sition, indeed.

Prompt work by Chief Jones and his staff, with the coâ€"operation of provinâ€" cial and district police, led to the arâ€" rest yesterday of Robert Anderson at Kirkland Lake on a charge of fraud, the said fraud consisting in the securâ€" ing of a new car in Timmins and tenâ€" dering for same a cheque which proved to be valueless. The police first met Anderson on Tuesday when he came to the police station with a taxi driver who wanted to collect his fare. Anderson explained that he worked at the Hollinger, giving his number there, and arranging to pay so much of the bill each payâ€"day. The taxi driver did not lay a charge against the man that had run the bill with him, and so Anderson could not be held. Later, it was found that ,the number given was not a correct one and the rest of Anderson‘s story was apparently equally incorrect. Effort was made to locate the man but he was not found. Then it was discoverâ€" ed that a man of the same description had purchased a car from Timmins dealer, tendering in payment of the greater part of the price a cheque which was found to be without value. Chief Jones at once sent description of the wanted man and car to all the local police in the towns of the disâ€" trict and to the provincial police.
