Ten years ago the Timmins Presby- terian church observed its fifth anni- versary. Known then as the Byrnes Presbyterian church. the anniversary event was of special interest. In re- ferring to the event, The Advance, said. in partzâ€"“Timmins Presbyterian church this week observed its fifth anniversary and the special services on Sunday and the entertainment features Monday evening were particularly note- worthy. even exceeding the success of previous events under the same aus- pices. which is saying a great deal. in view of past successes. The special services on Sunday were conducted by Rev. J. 0. Watts, M.A.. of Haileybury, assisted by the pastor. Rev. J. D. Parks. There were large cs-ngregations at both services and the inspiring addresses by Rev. Mr. Watts, were much appreciated. Special music by the choir also added to the attraction of the services. At the evening service the church was more than crowded to capacity. The ser- vices at Schumacher were cancelled Sunday evening and the Schumacher Choir were here in a body and added much to the efiectiveness of the sing- ing. Another very pleasing feature was Ithe singing of the Presbyterian church male quartette. On Monday evening there was a supper in the basement or the church, with a lecture by Rev. Mr. Watts and a short programme in the church after the supper. The ladies of the Presbyterian church have a. high reputation for the wonderful suppers they serve and Monday even- ing lthey fairly excelled themselves. There was a big crzowd at the supper and all enpoyed the good things pro- vided. There was a remark-able supply of the most appetizing feed, and the service was unusually good. The ladies deserve the highest praise for'this part of the anniversary observance. In practically every way the supper may be graded as about perfec'i. Tine pro- gramme after the surner was equally excellent, including remarkably fine readings by Mrs. Murdock, selections by the Male Quartette and the very “interesting and informative lecture by Rev. J. 0. Watts on “Matter in Motion." opening of the new Marshau-Ecciestone building at the czrner cf Third avenue and Pine street. “The finest store building in Timmins. and one of the very best of its kind in the provmce," was the way The Advance opened its dacription of the remarkably well- equipred brick block. The contractors IIili-Ciark-Frapcis. the owners, the town and the customers of the store. alike. were complimented on the ac- quisition of this store to the town’s fine bumness blacks. A full description of the building was given, and what was said then holds good to-day. ten years after. that the building is probably the finest quarters in the province for a hardware and furnitme store.

It was the sad duty cf The Advance in its issue of Feb. 22nd, 1922, to repar‘ the death of one of the most popular if the early residents of the district. Asa E. Sims. In its report The Ad- vance said, in part:â€"“The death of Asa E. Sims while at work in the H01- ‘inger on Monday of this week came 3.) a great shock to his many friends 'n the town and district. He was well- known in the camp, having been a highly esteemed resident here for sever- al years past, always well regarded for his quiet but friendly disposition and his high character as a. man and citi- ren. An inques: was held yesterday, the evidence showing that he come to his death through being caught in the matting at the Hailinger mill, where he was a popular employee. It appears that he was walking on a platform lookâ€" ing to the oiling of some bearings and turning around s:me “oil waste" in his fI'Z'JXEt caught on the shaft. This drag- ged firs: his pocke: and then part of hit: crera‘lls rzund the shaft with frightful force and before he realized his danger he was wound round the "haf t and killed. Death was practically in=tanfetus The jury returned a ver- d's: of death by accident. Word was at once sent of the sad accident to the reiatives, and Mr. W. F. Sims, a bro- ther, came up from St. Catherines las: n'3h'5. Mr. Robt. Sims, another bro~ ther. formerly of this camp, also left his ; resent location at New Britain Connecticut, and went to the family home at Sher rccke, Que, where the aged mother about 85 years old, re- sides. The remains were taken to Sher- brooke on the noon train for interment. The late Asa E. Sims was 33 years of age, and was both popular and esteem- 3d among all who knew him. He was a member of both Porcupine and Golden Beaver Lodges. In the Timmins band he had given ‘very generous service:~ ever since the band was organized, and members of the band are very sincere in their expressions of sorrow and re- gret at his sad and sudden death. Among the’ tributes from here were beautiful wreaths from the employees cf the Hollinger Mill, the Timmins Citizens Band. Golden Beaver Lodge, A. F. A. M., and Porcupine Lodge, A. F. A. M. In addition to the ber- eaved mother, two brothers and two sisters survive and to these the people of Timmins extend very sincere sym- pathy in the loss of Asa E. Sims, who was recognized here always as a. first- ciass citizen and the right type of man. The late Asa E. Sims was one of the returned veterans of the Great War having served truly and well in the bat- tic overseas This district was very early in its tdoption of radio, both so far as re- ception and broadcasting alike were concern-ed. This is shown by the fol- lowing paragraph from The Advance ten years ago:-â€"“T‘he Westinghouse wireless phone station located at New- ark, New Jersey. US.A.. recently re- celved 0. report from Mr. M. J. Cavaney. who is with the Norman Canada Pow- er Company at Sandy Falls. that the musical programme and speech brood- casted daily from their station,was be- ing received very clearly at Sandy Falls. The Westinghouse Manufacturing Company originally estimated that their Newark station was only capable of radiating the voice and music a dis- tance of 3000 miles. but the daily re- ception at Sandy Falls creates a long distance record fer the Newark station. The Publicity Department of the West- inghouse Co, evidently appreciated the fact to the extent of publishing the re- vert of Mr. Cavaney in the New York Globe and Commercial Advertiser of February 7th. As a consequence Mr. Cavaney has received numerous re-l quests from wireless fans in the various parts of the States for details as to class of instruments used for general‘ censtruction cf his receiving set." ‘ In connection with the work of the Town Nurse here there was an active Child Welfare Executive Committee ten years ago. The officers reâ€"eieoted for 1922 for this committee were:-â€"presiâ€" dent. Mrs. J. A. McInnis; secretary. Mrs. W. Sampszm. The committee included representatives of the R.-C.

The game was accordingly re-played on Monday night and the Sault won by the score of 1 to 0.

There is always this class of pe0ple who are dissatis- fied with officers of the law. and Chief Greer suggests something along this line in regard to the charges levelled against him by the Renfrew councillor. "Chief Greer says- all the present trou- ble grows out of a liquor case that he prosecuted some time ago despite sug- gestion that he let it drop. On ac- count of Chief Greer being so well known here there is special interest in the controversy now in progress in Renfrew. The Renfrew Mercury last week had no direct reference of its own to the case. but gave the extract below from The Ottawa Citizen. The one development last week was the report of the Renfrew police commit- tee prepared for the special meeting of the town council to be held last Saturday night. The meeting of the committee was a private one and the report was also expected to be private. The Mercury evidently was willing to allow the committee the undoubted righf of keeping the report private un- til the council met to deal with the question. However, as commonly the case, the outside newspapers did not feel that way about it. The Mercury dealt with the matter by publishing the following on its front page:â€" The Ottawa Citizen of February 17th report as follows regarding a meeting 01 Renfrew police committee held in private in the Town Clerk‘s office on Tuesday evening: . “The meeting of the police committee of the town cchncil held tofhrther dis- cuss the charges made at the last meeting of council against Chief of Police Moses Greer was held behind closed doors this evening. Mayor Mc- Laren suggested that the purpose was simply a meeting for committee to discuss whether or not a report should be laid before council and he thought more could be accomplished if they could discuss the matter in camera. “Councillor James Fennessy, who is chairman of the police committee, ex- plained that he had requested the mayor to bring the members together in crder that he might set the charges definitely before them and elucidate them. He said it was not his custom to accept all rumours as true, but it- was unbelievable that anyone could disregard the charges he had tabled at the last meeting of council. in View of the documental evidence placed before them. Added to these were the furâ€" ther charges made under oath this evening. ‘In fairne$ to Mr. Greer, as well as the citizens of Renfrew, these charges should be investigated and the Muncipal Act provides that they may be investigated by the county judge’ said Mr. Rnnessy. Renfrew Committee Asks Judicial Probe Benn-cw Police Committee Seek to Rave Judicial Investigation 0! Charges Made Against Chief 0! Police There. “There was much discussion and con- siderable difference of opinion as to the form the resolution to council should take. There was talk of a minority report. but finally the following memor- andum to council was signed by all three members of the committee, Messrs James Fennessy, W. R. Kirk and F. X. Plaunt. “We. your police committee, beg to report that we have considered the complaints made. by our chairman, James Fennessy, as to fines paid to Chief Greer and request that the coun- cil pass a resolution requesting the judge of the county court of Renfrew to investigate these complaints and such other further complaints as our chairman may deem it advisable to lay before the judge. and to also inves- tigate police administration generally in the town of Renfrew." “It is possibly an exaggeration to say that Canada is in a relatively better position than any other nation today. but surely she will be in the forefront of any general return to properity. Canada is young, and youth is always confident of the future. Canadian: are born optimists, and they have the right to be such. This country is forâ€" tunate in having such a vigorous and hopeful neighbour, and when the re- sources and potentialities of the Unit- ed States are considered. the essentia‘ character of the people 'and their op- portunities in the great territory to the north should never be overlooked. "To The Citizen. Mr.” Fennessy stated be entertained no personal animus in the matter. These complaints and charges had been openly discussed (or some considerable time and he had been requested by many representative citizens to clear the matter up, and this he intended to do. “Chief Greer when spoken to by The Citizen appeared to be quite uncon- cerned. He had not learned what had transpired at the meeting. but if there were nothing more serious than what had been brought before the last coun- cil meeting by Councillor Fennessy he had no concern or fear. ‘Both my conscience and hands are clear.‘ said the chief." “Like the rest of the world, Canada has its troubles. 'Ilhe rallrcac’p are proving 'a serious problem there as here. Farm products and newsprint have suffered. The country has large foreign obligations, and her dollar de- preciated when Great.Brtain was im- pelled to suspend the gold standard But the Dominion has had marvelous success of late in floating a large na- tional-service loan. the proceeds of which are needed for unemployment distress as well as for ordinary services. The'e bonds were subscribed for by the :u‘olfc to a gratifying extent, particu- “z‘ly in Western Canada, despite two rears of low-priced crops. The suc- cess of the loan is considered a national declaration of faith in the future and evidence of the ‘abillty of the country to finance itself. “At the conclusion of the meeting. Mayor McLaren did not care to ex- press an opinion as to what council would do in face of the resolution. but he intimated that a meeting would be called on Saturday night and there the matter will be fully discussed and de- finite action taken one way or another. “The charges alleged and already tabled cover eleven specific diflerences. The amount involved is approximately $500 and this is likely to be increased by further evidence. The following is an editorial recentl} published in The Saturday Evening Post, of Philadelphia. Pa.:- “The Canadian banking system has pr3ved s3'und 11111: far, and there is real evidence of inherent strength in face of world-wide depression. One st1 R'- ing fact ‘is that the tide of Canadian migration to the United States appears to have stopped. Indeed, there seems to have st0pp3-d. Indeed, there seems to be a. very substantial movement of Americans into Canada, more than 10,- 000 having migrated there in 1931. “CANADA CARRIES 0N.” SAYS NEIGHBOUR TO THE SOUTH MUNICIPAL SALARIES AS VIEWED IN CITY OF NORTH BAY “These movements may reflect,tem- porary economic conditions rather than permanent trends. But the population of Canada is small in proportion to the extent of the land and its resoumes. so that a healthy growth in popJIa-tion should be of almost as great advant- age to us as to Canada itself." get last week sayszâ€"“The city aldermen had a good time Monday night debat- ing whether or not they should give up their Own salaries as part of the econâ€" omic programme. It was fairly unani- mous as only two voted to give them up. In the debate it was intimated that two of the committee chairmen would quit if they had their indemnity for meetings taken away from them. Also the opinion was expressed that the members of the council and in particular the committtee chairmen earn all they get and more. In that we must concur though generally speaking we are against the salary idea ifor elected municipal officials. It is the observation of those who make a study of it that throughout the csuntry the class of men in the city councils has been distinctly on the downgrade since the idea has become common in Can- lada. In theory it is all right. that is, it permits a salaried man to serve on such bodies Without too much loss to himself. but in practice it has seemed! to work rather badly. There is no! doubt but that the conscientious alder- l man who really works at his job andl in particular the heads of the commit- tees really earn the small amount they get. Just now though it would seem that it is up to the aldermen every- where to set an example in such mat- ters and it is certainly very hard to; see how a council, collecting pay for every meeting, can take action to cut salaries of civic omcials. something that is very definitely in the minds of the North Bay Council though it has not been announced as yet. Of course, there is the example of the Middlescx County Council, which in secret ses- sion boosted the rate of pay for the members and also boosted the mileage tees for attendance and. at the same time slashed the salaries of all munici- pal employees.
