Insteadoihaving hasupplyofgifts iromtheSunday School, besides what Santa brought, the pupils.voted this year to send that amount as a donation to the stricken area of the West. When the evening came not a murmur of regret was heard over the absence of the school’s gifts. but possibly more happiness than usual was given by Santa’s visit. Messrs Saunders and Jones, of the Dome Sun- day School stair, came in and give kindly assistance with the games. music. etc.. during the evening. Cake. sandwiches and lemonade was served to the children after their games. then came carol singing by the school and by‘the various groups. Miss Mary Mc-‘ Intosh, the fourteen-year-old pianist} of the Sunday School deserves credit for the part she has taken in getting up these carols. Alice Eyre sweetly sang one of the carols as a solo. But all lwere “on the qui vive” for a visitor they had heard had been at the Dome on Saturday and when the one hundred land fifty young voices started to sing‘ »“Jingle Bells," sure enough he came, with a huge box on a hand-sleigh. The ice had been a little slushy to bring his reindeer across the lake so he left them at the north end of the lake.l where he had found a fine hiding place| for them till after he visits the kid-' dies at Golden City on Tuesday nights Mrs. Coffey. superintendent of the Sunday School. assisted Santa in find- ing the boxes for each child but soon such excited groups were gathering round that the teachers all had to lend a hand or Santa would have talked till he was too hoarse to tell those reindeer and Mrs. Santa all about it when he got back to the north of the lake. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS ' ONTARIO Mrs. W. Christie the contralto and Messrs H. Jones, J. Reece. Mr. Hueston and Mr. B.

The service be- gan at seven o'clock instead of the usual hour of seven-thirty. A baptis- mal service was held at the beginning of the service when the infant daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith and the secqnd son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Stanlake received the rites of bap- tism. After a very appropriate Christ- mas talk by Rev. Hussey. the choir augmented by two or three new mem- bers rendered this much loved Christ- mas cantata. The chorus parta were particularly pleasing, there being a better balance of male and fem-ale voices than on a former presentation. Mrs. E. Stanlake took the soprano solos Mr. H. Kobler and Mr. E. J.

No- randa, Kirkland Lake, Timmins and South Porcupine will comprise the teams for this part. It is said there will be two games each with Noranda. and Kirkland. one at home and one away in each half of the schedule and then double the number of games be- tween the two neighbouring teams. The authorized schedule will be ready for publication very shortly. Once the Yuletide is past Porcupine fans will get warmed up for their usual hectic hoc- key winter, the first game we believe being around the New Year. The Senior Hockey team have been handicapped by the soft weather in getting the best from their practices, Many are watching them each night and reports are that we shall see some good hockey as soon as the holiday. season is over.

Teachers’ Bowling Scores for Week of December 17 Miss Dorothy Armstrong. who is attending Normal School at North Bay, came home Saturday to spend :he holi- day with her parents. The C.G.I.T. held their annual Christmas Tree on Monday night. A nice lunch was served and each mem- ber received a gift. There will be a special Christmas service in the United Church on Christ~ mas morning an eleven o'clock. Mrs. D. Craig returned Saturday from an extended visit to California. School closed Tuesday for the holi- day, and each pupil was presented with a gift from Mr. F. W. Schumacher, of Columbus. Ohio. School will open again on January the fourth. The play in the United Church on Thursday and Friday evening by local talent "Two Girls and a Fellow" was very cleverly presented. “Oscar Todd." (P. A. Boyce); “Genevieve." his wife. (Mrs. J. Prentice): their daugh-;er. “Elaine." (Miss Bush); “Mrs. Ursula Smith." (Mrs. George Hawley); “Ger- aldine.” her daughter. (Mrs. J. Hay- ward); "Anthony," her son. (Grant Bar- ron); "John Leslie” (Rev. Mr. Sum- merell); “Mrs. Anderson," his house- keeper (Mrs. B. Waite); “Mrs. mbbs,” ch;rwoman. (Mrs H. Barden); “Toms " ,grbcer boy, (Tom Moore). Owing toy so many counter attractions there was not the attendance at the per- formances which otherwise might have been to hear it. as each and all the players were excellent.

Everybody Welcome ADMISSION â€"50c In reference «to the article in The Advance last week mentioning: a twen- ty-nine hand at cribbage, the informa- tion was given the paper that several such unusual hands have been held by players in the famous tournaments con- ducted under the auspices of the Tim- mins Volunteer Firemen’s Club here. On the little folder, which is printed in two colours, there is the following very interesting extract from “The Ot- tawa River “ by Capt. Geo. Shortt, Ph. D., in The Canadian Geographical Journal: â€""From its discovery in 1613 Iby Champlain until the beginning of ;the next century, the Ottawa was known as "the Grand River of the Al- gonquins.” There were many tribes of this race settled along the river from Regaud to Alumette Island, but the particular tribe from which the river derived its name inhabited the Mani- toulin Islands and the northeastern shore of the Michigan Peninsula. These Indians are described as being. a; the time of the advent of the white man. a brave honest and upright people. possessing many definite moral prin- ciples .of conduct. They maintained fur-trading communications with the French at Montreal, and thus the) “Grand River of the Algonqulns" be- came known as the route of the Ottawa country." From Major Cole, O.'C., Algonquin Regt., Winnipeg. comes a very attrac- tive little folder giving Christmas wishes. “The Commanding Ofllcer and Officers of the Algonquin Regiment." says the greeting. “extend their hearti- es'; Christmas Greetings and all Good Wishes for the New Year." The com- panies of the regiment are as follows:â€" A. Company, Sudbury; B. Company. Halleybury; C. Company. Kirkland Lake; D. Company, South Porcupine. In The Advance last week there was an impressive advertisement {or the new Chevrolet Six for 1932. The ad- vertisement detailed the outstanding features of this new carâ€"silent shift. syncro-mesh. free wheeling. faster accel- eration. 20 per cent. more power. smart new Fisher bodies, etc. To the adverâ€" tisement as appearing there was added the name of the local dealer. Through an inadvertence. the wrong line was added for the dealer. The added line made it appear that Marshall-Eccle- stone, Limited. were the dealers here. The line should have read “Timmins Ganage." The dealers for the New Chevrolet Six for 1932 and for the other Chevrolet cars are the Timmins Garage. Timmlns.
