Dingley had been fined $100.00 and costs for illegally having liquor. This item has caused some annoyance to E. Dingley. 97 Third avenue. whom some have confused. or pretended to confuse with the man fin- ed. Mr. Dingley, of Third avenue. is the sort of good citizen who keeps out of police court and keeps the law. He is not the E. Dingley referred to in the police court news. the latter's residence being given as one of the smaller hotels in town on the police court record. Hallowe’en Social at A.Y.P.A- Much Enjoyed W. D. Forrester. The judging of the costumes was no easy task but was honorably acquitted 'by Mrs. H. L. Tra- ver, F. Burt and C. P. Walker. A mys- tery person was a feature of the pro- gramme. This person had to be found by approaching him with the words, “Are You Progressing Agreeabiy. A.Y. P.A.?" Mrs. Forrester was the suc- cessful finder of Mr. A.YP.A. in the person of Mr. Burt. Games and com- petitions suitable to the occasion were indulged in. Miss Coleman was re- sponsible for a novel competition of words ending in “sting." In the dark- ened room with the audience sitting in a circle, a ghost story was told. each one participating, adding their quota to the story. Refreshments were served under the convenership of Mrs. Law- ley. The president. S. G. Fowler, was the chairman upon this delightful oc- casion. November 10th will be another good night at the A.YPA.

Grant, former city trea-i surer of Sudbury, was arrested on Fri-‘ day last on charges of theft of funds from the city during his time as trea- surer. He was let go as city treasurer several months ago and afterwards an extended audit of the books was insti- tuted. Last week the firm of outside auditors engaged on the work submitt- ed their report which showed a. short- age in city funds of over eight thou- sand dollars during the years from 1924 to 1931. The auditors say that the amount max exceed this figure: It is understood that the audit will cost Sudbury over‘ten thousand dollars, as it had to be carried on for several months and investigations of various kinds had to be undertaken to follow up the work. Mr. Grant denies any wrong-doing but was not able to ex- plain to the satisfaction of the mayor certain items brought forward by the auditors and his arrest followed. He was before Magistrate McKessock in police court at Sudbury on Monday and a remand was granted until Nov. 17th. He is out on bail of $12,000.00 Noted Dramatic Troupe from Montreal Coming! Number Report that National to be Cut Off Nov. 22nd Reports are current that the Nation- al. running daily over the T. s; N. 0. line, is to be discontinued after Nov. 22nd. this being said to be part of the reduction of trains planned by the two big railways in Canada now working in co-operation to reduce expenses and avoid overlapping of services. En- quiry at the T. at, N. 0. station this morning elicits the information that there is no official confirmation of this report or at any event the local station has no official word in the matter. In case the National is taken off the T. a: N. 0. will have to provide additional service to provide accommodation for the North in the way of train service. This may be accomplished with a few additions to the service, in which case the North will not bog, seriously affected by the taking off of the National, the latter running fairly close to the To- onto train. Through an arrangement made re- cently between the ONE. and the GP. R., the unnecessary duplication of ser- vice is being curtailed. the trains being arranged “to avoid double service in certain sections. A large amount will be saved to each railway by 'the re- arrangement of the service. it is said. COMMUNIST MEETING ON MONDAY NIGHT A QUIE'I" A communist mass meeting was ad- vertised for Monday evening at the corner of Mountjoy and Second avenue, the Ukrainian hall property. The avowed purpose of the meeting accord- ing to the posters posted up in the dead of night a day or so before, was to pro- test against the arrest and trial of the nine men charged this week in Toronâ€" to with belonging to an unlawful as- sembly. Probably fifty answered the call, this not being much of a mass meeting, but it was the best that could be achieved, the weather being such that spectators did not gather to Watch in the hopes of seeing some excitement. There were some speeches and then ad- journment was made to the inside of the hall. Attempt was apparently made to have these protest mass meetings held all over the country, but the plan even- tually did not meet with much more success elsewhere than in Timmins. In some places the police forbade the meetings on the public street and then saw that this order was obeyed. In some cases meetings were held in halls but failed to gather much attendance or enthusiasm. At Toronto bills were passed around in the vicinity of the court house during the progress of the opening of the trial of the men charg- ed with sedition and the judge looked upon this proceeding as contempt of court and asked for those responsible to be brought before him. Two men were arrested for printing the circulars considered as offensive to law and jus- tice while the case was under trial. ONE RETURNED SOLDIERS‘ NIGHT AT GOLDEN BEAVER LODGE The regular meeting night of Golden Beaver Lodge. A. F. a A. M. Timmins. on Wednesday evening next, Nov. llth. will be an Armistice Evening.

An Armistice Day address will be given in the lodge room by Bro. P. A. Bayes. Tickets for the event may be secured from any of the officers of the lodge or at the hall. No Quota From Here for Trans-Canada Road Yet No call has been made as yet on Tim- mins for any quota for the Trans-Can- ada highway. nor have there been any material number of men leaving here for other work. There have been few men going to Kapuskasing to cut pulp- wood. Apparently the town is left to care for the hundreds of unemployed that may be left here from the influx of the past year to two. Reports from, the Northern Development road camps, where there are about a. hundred men from Timmins, are to the effect that conditions at the camp are as close to ideal as it is possible to get them. The men say they are fed well and used splendidly in every way. “Pikie” Beau- din, an old-timer of the North, who is in one of the gangs between Porquis Junction and Cochrane, was iin town; last week and was enthusiastic about "the conditions and the usage of the' men. “Things couldn’t be better," he said. A few have come back from pulp cutting at Kapuskasing, but the ma- jority are understood to be satisfied and doing well. The food there is re- ported as good and the camp condi- tions splendid. Some are reported as doing very well at this work. W. J. Blackstock, of Edmonton, A1- berta, was a Timmins visitor last week. Growing of ginseng for the Chinese market has developed into a substantial business at Water- ford, Out., where about 45,000 ounds of this root were produced ast year, valued at $370,000. Fine, unusually warm, weather has favored threshing operations in the north- west of Canada during October and has raised the grade of wheat substantiall , according to the crap report 0 the Canadian Pacific’s Agricultural Department. Evaporators in the Annapolis Valley are now working full time and are consuming large quantities of low grade a plea. Markets for the evaporate product are being found in Montreal and Toronto with an occasional car for the Canadian West. The canoe continues to be popu- lar. A recent official report shows that in the last five years in Canada building of canoes has increased by over 30 per cent. in the number of establishments making them and by 88 per cent. in the value of the output. Canary Korndyke Alcatra is dead. This was the world-fam- ous Holstein cow which in 1928 created a world record of ap- proximately 1,080 pounds of but- terfat in 305 days. She was later purchased by the Saskat- chewan Government for $10,000 for breeding purposes. Due to fall of the Canadian dollar and rise in the French franc. there will be no reduction in the price of wines to Canadians this winter. according to L. B.

Hailey, R.N.R., veteran commander of the Cana- dian Pacific liner Empress of Canada has been decorated with the Royal Order of Siam by His Majesty King Praiadhipok after conveying the Royal party and suite from Victoria to Hong Kong. Captain Samuel Robinson, of the Empress of Japan was similarly honored when he brought the Royal party to Canada. Co-operation between Canada’s two great railway companies reâ€" gistered an important advance recently when it was officially announced that an agreement had been reached whereby the Cana- dian National will co-operate with the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian Pacific Steamships in the solicitation of freight, pas- senger and express traffic for Canadian Pacific ships to and from Canadian Atlantic ports.

This week 'he had replies from as distant points as Hamilton. On- tario, and New York City. Mr. Wood~ bury thinks it odd that answers to a call for anything as distinctly Northern should come from so far South, but he says that it certainly brings results from a. wide area to place an advertise- ment in The Advance. One former resident of Timmins has written Mr. Woodbury saying, “Every time I think of the good old days in the Porcupine I feel like a husky pup myself. How will I do?” Mr. Woodbury suggests this week that a line be added to the advt. to the effect that no outsiders need apply. , Wedding at United Church Manse Tuesday Evening There was a wedding of special in- terest to wide circles of friends in town on Tuesday evening at the United Church manse, when Rev. Bruce Mil- lar united in marriage Alexander Bu- chan Wilson, proprietor of the barber shop in the basement of the Gordon block, and Miss Jeannetta Iris Kelly. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Kelly, of Timmins. There were many friends of the young couple present for the event. Bert Wilson, brother of the groom, was groomsman, and Miss Ver- na Kelly, younger sister of the bride, was the bridesmaid. The wedding was a quiet but pretty one. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Kelly, 59 Preston avenue, where a number of friends of the young cou- ple gathered to wish them the best. and where all enjoyed a pleasant social time Timmins
