Darling, who took so prominent and helpful a part in the Children‘s Aid Shelter at Timmins, sends a group photograph showing a picture of herâ€" self surrounded by native children. A couple of the larger children wear abâ€" breviated dresses, but most of the others have smiles. There is even one youngster without even a smile. In a note on the back of the photo Mrs. Darling says:â€""The children here need very little "sheltering," as nature is kind enough to give delightfully warm weather, such that clothing, as you may see, is not needed at any time of the year. In fact, it is a nuisance. The people generally are kind to childâ€" ren and to the old people and take care of them. This is a belated acknowâ€" ledgment of the enjoyable package which you all so thoughtfuily provided for me on my voyage south. Thank you so much. Very sincerely, Helen V. Darling." The reference to the package is to a gif; to Mrs. Darling from a number of Ithose interested in Children‘s Aid Soâ€" ciety work. They had a prckage of dainties sent to the boat at New York for Mrs. Darling as a memento of their. appreciation for the time, skill and money that Mrs. Darling had given for several years to the work for children in this town and district. Mrs. Dariâ€" ing some months ago left here to join her husband, H. W. Darling, at New Goldfields of Venezuela el Peru, Estaâ€" do de Bolivar, Venezuela, where he is engaged in his profession as mining enâ€" gineer, a l 4 In practically every case the Sunâ€" day traffic is more than double that of the average weekâ€"day. In the case of the census at Connaught Station there were 1581 on Sunday to 642 on Thursâ€" day. The case of the Ferguson highâ€" way, north of Swastika was still more marked, there being 1998 on Sunday as against 555 on Thursday and 728 on Saturday. In the case of the Ferguson. highway north of the intersection with the Timmins and Iroquois Falls roads, the Saturday traffic was more than the total of both the Thursday and Sunâ€" day. Midway between Monteith and Iroquois Falls the traffic was found to be little more on Sunday than on other days. Where Children Do Not Need "Shelters" So Much There are many interesting points that will be noted from the figures. It will be seen that "local" traffic far exâ€" ceeds the through traffic in each case. It is not difficult to figure this out from the data given. It is apparent howâ€" ever that the highways in the North are being used daily by hundreds of vehicles, many of these being cars from other parts of the province. The traâ€" ffic on the roads of the North is full justification for any money spent and for further expenditures that may be necessary. These figures, of course, include traffic both ways and count cars, trucks, buses or other vehicles each time they may pass the point where the census was taken. The same car or bus or truck might figure many times on the one day in the count. Last on the list is the Monteithâ€"Iroâ€" quois Falls road, midway between towns:â€"Thursday, 119; Saturday, 146; Sunday, 198. The Ferguson highway a quarter mile north of Swastika seemed to stand fourth in point of traffic, with these figures:â€"Thursday, 555; Saturday, 728 Sunday, 1998. The figures for the Porquis Junctionâ€" Iroquois Falls road, midway between the towns were as follows:â€"Thursday, 245; Saturday, 276; Sunday, 532. With greater traffic on two of the three days, over the Iroquois Falls secâ€" tion above, the Ramore part of the Ferguson highway had these figures:â€" Thursday, 238; Saturday, 374; Sunday, 546. According to the figures taken in this threeâ€"day census, the greatest traffic is | on the Kirkland Lakeâ€"Swastika road, intersection of Ferguson highway. On Thursday, July 9th, there were 1419 cars counted; on Saturday, July l1th, there were 1972; and on Sunday, July 12th, the number was 2648. A close second was the Porquis Junctionâ€"Timmins trunk road, midway between South Porcupine and Schuâ€" macher, the figures being:â€"Thursday, 1220; Saturday, 1728; Sunday, 2630. j Third place went to the Porquis Junctionâ€"Timmins trunk road at Conâ€" naught Station, the figures beir:-â€" Thursday, 642; Saturday, 1097; Sunday, Kirklandâ€"Swastika Road Used the Most Census _ Taken of Automobile Traffic on Highways of North Show Very Interesting Figures at Early HMHour. A. F. Kenning, M.P.P., and these ures are most interesting. The road isus was taken by the Northern Deâ€" opment Dept officials on three rnings, Thursday, July 9th, Saturâ€" , July 1l1th, and Sunday, July 12th, h of the compilations starting at figures of the census taken reâ€" n the highways of the North ‘wn to The Advance last weok The North Bay Nugzet last week reâ€" printed the following item from its files of July 25th, 1911:â€""The first Mass was said in Swastika last Sunday, July 23, by Rev. Father Martineau, of Haileyâ€" bury. The service was conducted in the Swastika Hotel, and there was a surprisâ€" ingly large congregation present.

The Blacks Cats, as they are politely known, are now preoâ€" paring for the Ontario junior finals, but it is possible Manager "Irish" Johnzon will find time to exchange visits with ihe Timmins team. For such engage~ ments it wou‘ld be permissible for the "Pussies" to draw on the services of Cam French, Hec Kilroy, "‘Irish" himâ€" self, and other senior members of the club. That would provide a roster that would mean the fielding of an exception ally powerful team. A Saturday afterâ€" noon game here, after the baseball schedule, is completed, should prove to be a higinly enticing affair. The ‘"Pestering Pussies" are North Bay‘s superior men‘s softball ball team., and not only by reason of the fact that they are the only such organization at (From The North Bay Nugget) From Percy T. Moisley, Timmins, has come a request that we place him in touch with the management of North Bay‘s best men‘s softball team. The intention is to arrange a series of exâ€" hibition games, providing an underâ€" standing can be reached on the mattier of terms. "PESTERING PUSSIES" MAY PLAY SOFTBALL IN TTMMINS ‘"‘The reason for rushing the Abitibi Canyon development to completion by the fall of 1932 is to fulfill a contract entered into with the Ontario Hydroâ€" Electric Power Commission for the deâ€" livery of 85,000 horsepower not later than October 1. This power is for transmission to the Sudbury district and under the 40â€"year contract the maximum of 100,000 horsepower is to be purchased by 1936. The balance of 175,000 horsepower from the developâ€" ment will be available to the Abitibi Power and Paper Company, Limited, the parent organization of Ontario Power Service Corporation, for use in the company‘s TIroquois Falls and Smooth Rock Falls‘ mills, thereby placâ€" ing these mills on an electricâ€"steam basis. Commercial demand in time may require all the power but in the meantime the surplus electricity will be used to generate the large steam requirements for pulp and paper making." a head of water for power development of 240 feet. The location of the develâ€" opment is 75 miles north of Cochrane and the power house will contain five turbineâ€"generator units each of 55,000 horsepower capacity. One of the main features of construction was the unâ€" watering of the river already accomâ€" plished through the driving of two 28â€" foot diameter tunnels, one of them 1,200 feet in length and the other of 1,300 feet, diverting the river from the dam and powerhouse sites. The dam of nearly 1,000 feet in length and 250 feet high will contain approximately 400,â€" 000 cubic yartis of concrete. It will be about 200 feet in thickness at its base in the bottom of the canyon. The powerâ€"house will e located in the gorge just below the dam and in preâ€" paration for its erection a total of 135,000 cubic yards of rock will be reâ€" moved. The ‘constructâ€"on is in the charge of the Dominion Construction Company of Toronto, general conâ€" tractors on the job. Establishment of the camps to house 1,500 men started in September 1930 and the entire work is to be finished in a period of just twoe years. "The Abitibi Canyon is to yield 275,â€" 000 horsepower under the plans now being executed. The first phase of construction has been completed in the unwatering of the dam site. This operation was completed most successâ€" fully, the entire flow of the river being now carried round the power site in two tunnels, The work has also been almost completed on the retaining walls and wing dams and a large moâ€" dern concreteâ€"mixing plant has been installed ready for the pouring of conâ€" crete in the dam. Grouting and cleanâ€" ing of the dam site is now in progress and concreting will start within three weeks with the main dam scheduled to be finished by February 1, 1932. The entire development is expected to be eccmpleted on or before October 1, 1932. "The canyon of the Abitibi river is being blocked by a dam which will give The following ‘is i interesting arâ€" ticle last week from the Kapuskasing Northern Tribune, which says:â€" "The giant Abitibi Canyon hydro development of the Ontario Power Service Corporation, Ltd., is entering the second main phase of construction. A party of prominent executives, inâ€" cluding A. Smith and L. R. Wilson, president and viceâ€"president of the power commission, who vi‘sited the sits on the Abitibi river, north of Cochrane recently, found that no conditions have developed in the progress of the work to interfere with completion of the deâ€" velopment on or before October 1, 1932.
