I would like to say a concluding word for the "Peace Garâ€" den" of Mr. Moore on the bordsr of Canada and the United States. This garden of 3000 acres is to be dedicated on July 14th next. It is the first garâ€" den in the world to be dedicated to peace, and it has long held my desop interest. . Home surrcundings beautiâ€" fied, a good teaching to the upâ€"viewing, a healthy and profitable work for all that makes a home, such is horticulâ€" tNhn\ ture _~I may say that it is always a pleasure to me to meet in Timmins so many old friends, some of them of 26 years‘ standing. Again, I scem tc make new friends from the mines and it is always nice for such people to say, "Come and see my garden," and drive me, yes, five or six miles out. Do you, sir, get the spirit; do you get the hunger for betier gardens? For 26 years I have done this work all over Canada, from Timmins to Hagersville, below Hamilton, and I splendid; why could all not be spoken of as good? Floral Park was splendid, as were also other new grounds in the town. All the exhibits at the show were excellent, and the committee deâ€" serves and needs all possible support from the town and the mines to keep u)\ the remarkably high standards set. not be. surpassed anywhere in Canada, and competition was very keen. Is not this a credit to Timmins? I can assure you I have always done my duty to the committee and the exhibitors. The committre surely is worthy of great support when they work for nothing and all their efforts are for the benefit of home surroundings and. the. district. Suppose, it was the other way, and the health officer had to take steps and report filth and report to the powers that be to see to it that the properties were cleaned up, or the owners otherâ€" wise brought into court. A few of the gardens in the Hollinger townsite were it has been one of the last places to commence a society but it has.outstrinâ€" ped every society this side of Toronto. Hailleybury is down, and North Bay is down! This speaks bad for old socieâ€" ties with ibetter chances. Is it not a credit to Timmins to note what is beâ€" ing accomplished. Last year over 40 sardens to judge. Some gardens with over 2000 points, and no man can speak too highly of these garder:s., For cleanâ€" liness and tidiness, and both flowers and vegetables, superb!

WHORLEY 1 Y Plans are now under way to extend the free express delivery zone in Kirkâ€" land Lake and thus give practically the whole town advantage of this benefit. There is also an improved express serâ€" vice now in operation for Kirkland Lake. â€" Formerly, express arriving on No. 47 was not delivered until the next day. Now it is delivered the afternoon Between items on the programme dancing was the order and all enjoyed this feature, especially the military twoâ€" step. The Ladies‘ Auxiliary served their usual brand of refreshments, these being greatly enjoyed also, James Cowan made an excellent chairman. The pianist for the event was W. A. Devine. All present expressed the wish for another of these getâ€"together nights, but the mark set will be a hard one to beat. On Monday nisgsht the members and their wives and friends gathered in the Oddfellows‘ hall, to enjoy a social evenâ€" inz by the Timmins Branch of the Canadian Legion. The event proved to be the very best they have ever held in this respect. The artists on the proâ€" gramme were all members of the branch and Ladies‘ Auxiliary and they excelled themselves. â€" Sprnce does not permit ¢f a detailed account of the full programme. All those appearing on the programme received encores and proâ€" longed applauss. In the juvenile secâ€" tion Miss Bellamy rendered two very attractive solos and has the making of a singer of renown if her work conâ€" tinues. Little Miss May provea thar memorizing is a gift for some children and her tenâ€"verse nursery song was one of the hits of the night. Among the ladics, Mirs. Gregson jand Mirs. Gay both sang in fine Style. The male element sesmed to go into the comedy lineâ€" with Harry Nicholls and Fred Curâ€" tis leading. In lighter vein Joe Ormâ€" ston rendered two popular numbers while A. Bellamy and Mr. Pyke gave vocal solos of much merit,. Pat Cherry with is piccolo solos brought down the house. | The Best Social the Legion Ever Planned Full Legion Talent Gave Spendid Pro gramme. Event Much Enjoyed and was Largely Attended. aIrTrives ack Frost, nature‘s greatest architect, completed yet another wonderful job, at Banff, on the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railâ€" way through the Rocky Mountains, this winter, when he designed and built the columns of the iceâ€"castle of the Carnival Queen. As is easily seen by the picture, the two great pillars are the outstanding features of the palace. *They were built by TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 3RD, 1932 Jack Frostâ€"King of Architects An article featured recently in The Toronto Star Weekly had this remarkâ€" ablse statement:â€"‘"‘The entire town of Schumacher, near Porcupine, is pracâ€" tically Croatian." This is one of the silly statements that brings The Toronâ€" to Star into disrepute. There are probâ€" ably three hundred Croatians in th: Schumacher area, with approximately four thousand other people in the town. The Toronto Star is always making cight or nine per cent. into practically the entire thin Polytechnic A.C. The sleepmaker was delivered in fine style and after about two minutes of the first round. It is certainly of interest to Iccal fight fans to know that the North is being so ably represented by youths who â€"are natives of this invigorating and healthful climate. The fight fans of the North, and especially those of Timmins and district take especial pride and interest in the clever and able young fellows like Roy Hamilton, Len Wadsworth and Donat Richard, who are taking so high a place in the ring and who are givirie the best they haveâ€"and that best is very goodl inâ€" deed. Later again, at Dundas on Feb. 12th, Len Wadsworth showed his cleverness and ability by knocking out Jack Marsh after about two minutes of the first round. The reports say that only me ko. was registered during the whole programme of ten bouts, that bemg Jack Ma,rsh who fell ’before two straight lefts from Wadsworth of the putting into play, one month before the opening of the great event, two vertical streams of water. Then, more men got busy and built the connecting wall of gleaming transâ€" parenticeâ€"blocks, between the two pillars, and set in front of it the great throne of ice, from which the ceremonies of the Carnival were conducted, in the presence of thouâ€" sands of spectators from all parts of eflerring to one 0f the early engageâ€" ments of Lenard Wadsworth, The Toâ€" ronto Daily Star of Dec. 12th said:â€" "There was a second k.o. on the card. Len Wadsworth, of Hamilton, smacked Prank Bresnick down after a 75â€"second slugfest. A right to the chin ended the windmilling." The foregoing is a reâ€" port on boxing bouts held in Kitchener on Dec. lith last. The winner was Len Wadsworth, of Timmins, only 17 years of age, who only quit school last summer. j Again in January Len had a draw at Kitchener with a boxer of note, "K. O0." Echmalz who has a string of knockâ€"outs to his credit. The reports say that this was one of the best bouts of the card. It was the only fight in which the fans really had any reason to get thriled. of Canâ€" ada. Jimmy Stevens and Chic Lewis. two ninetyâ€"pounders, put on a rousing few rounds, and then Donat Richard and Pat Murphy, 126â€"psunders brought the crowd to its feet in a fast exhibiâ€" ticocn. Archie Sparrow and Walter Stonehcuse, two lightâ€"weights, and Len Wadsworth and Bud Budding, welterâ€" weights, fought furious battles that drew heavy applause from the veterâ€" Timmins Lad Win; Creditable P ace for his Work at the Polytechnic Club, Hamilton.

Timâ€" mins did not make the mistake of New Liskeard in Timmins last Thursday night, when the Farmers with a one goal lead, fell back on a defensive game. During the whole evening the Nonthern Grcup winners played an offensive game, and had a decided edge on the play over their opponents. Penalties were handed out fourteen times. New Liskeard drew sight of them, and the Timmins boys the other six. For the home town team, Jones and M. Nightingale drew two apiecs, while C.
