Another re- mand was that of a local man charged with failing to provide for his wife and family. Two charges under the Excise Act. against a Mountjay man were also remanded to next week. Two common drunks each paid tr common penalty of $10.00 and costs. The charge against alleged assault upon K dismissed. Malcolm Sequin. of Cedar street, was fined 8200.00 and casts for illegally having liquor. Our camp last summer was very suc- cessful and we hope to be able to have another one this year. On my honour I promise that I will3 do my best. To do my duty to God and the King. ? To help other people at all times. I To obey the Scout law. Next week we will tell you more about the First Timmins heap of Boy Scouts which is non-sectarian, and; holds its meetings every Monday even- ing commencing at seven pm. in the basement of the Anglican church. 3 We wish to thanlg all of you who} were good enough to buy tickets from! the boys of our troop for Monday night’s entertainment as this money will be used during the. coming summer for equipment and possibly 3 Scout; camp. I The Scout's promise which every boy must, make when he becomes a member of a troop is as follows:â€" There are dozens of things included on the Scout programme for both in- door and outdoor recreation and I am sure that any of you boys that have never tried to be Scouts should try to join a tr00p' and you will find things very interesting and agreeable. How- ever. if you are not inclined to help the other fellow a bit and are selfish, it would be necessary to change your ways or not become a Scout. Of course we have various games L3 play, too, such as “Snatch the Hat," “Fingers.” "Hare and Hounds," also bcxing and other gymnastics. There are really no special reqire- ments necessary for a boy to become 8. Scout. He must be twelve years of age, willing to work with the rest of the boys and. play when they play. There is not. anything hard to do in order that you might obtain your badges. First comes the Tenderfocz badge and in order to get it you must know the Scout laws, signs and salute. the Union Jack, its composition, etc.. how to tie six certain knots and how to whip the end of a rope. These things are easy to learn and many en- joyable hours are spent in this way all through the Scouting programme. Our boys have been doing their knots in very good time and this should be a very keenly contested part of the pro- gramme at the Jamboree. Recently we have been preparing for the Jamboree that is to be held at South Porcupine in May Where Scouts from all over the district are expected to meet and compete in a Scouting pro- gramme. I: is hOped that. the efforts of our field secretary to bring Scouting once more before the people of this town will have the desired results and that. your boys of Scouting age, which is twelve to eighteen, will see what a benefit Scouting is and what a lot or fun there is in this great game.

Mr. Jones had along with him lantern slides ofwthe great gather- ing of fifty thousand Boy Scouts from all parts of the world at Arrow Park. England. His remarks on this subject were very interesting and those in at- tendance were well pleased with his talk and pictures. This Manday we had the pleasu a. visit from a memper of Provi Headquarters.

Fogg returned this week from a. holiday visit to Flori- da and other points south. In this part of the North Land the town of 'I‘immins is the only munici- pality that will be affected by the change. Timmins has an old age pen- sion board of its own. this board com- prising the mayor and all the council- lOrs, with I. E. Dunn, as secretary. Up to the present 'I‘immins has had to pay 20 per cent. of the cost of the pensions granted here to old people, the balance of the pensions being paid by the provincial and the Dominion gov- ernments. The change noted above means that hereafter it "‘will cost Tim- mins half as much as previously for the pensions granted. The rest of the North Land is under a. separate old age pension board, and the‘ governments pay all the cost of the pensions grant-- spectively. Officials of the Ontario government made it plain on Saturday last that preper adjustment will be made with the municipalities as to over-payments dating from the time when the arrange~ ment committing the Dominion govern- ment. to 75 per cent. of the cost of old age 'ensions comes into effect. The municipalities will be credited with amounts they have paid in excess of 10 per cent. ' 15 p men Cost of old age pensions in Ontario is borne in larger decree by the Do- minion government and le$er degree by the provincial and municipal au- thorities than previously under bills to mpnicipalities for March now going out from the Ontario Department of Public Welfare.

Finlayson. while at Ottawa. and Montreal he conferred with railway and colonization officials. time in July. Plans for the hotel to be erected have not yet been accepted. Enquiries continue to be received at T. N. O. emces as to prospects for var- ious kinds of business enterprises, far in excess of the needs of the town for years to come. There appears to be a great many peogle anxious to go to the place, to open up business there and to be amongst its first settlers. Confid- ence in the future of the future town seems to be widespread and the how is expressed that it is warranted." According to reports from North Bay this week the opening of Moosonee may be postponed to July of this year. It was expected that the formal open- ing of the new townsite at the James Bay terminal of the T. N. O. Rail- way would be held in the spring. as soon as the weather permitted. It appears now that the date of opening is likely to be deferred until later in the year. An article in The North Bay Nugget in reference to the opening of Moosonee last. week .says:-â€"“Cha.irman George W. Lee of the T. N. O. Rail- way Commission. and W. H. Maund. secretary-treasurer. returned last night from an inspection trip over the whole system. except to Moosonee. Condi- tions were found very satisfactory in the north. Survey work is cantinuing at the townsite of Moosonee. but there may be some delay in other develop- ments at the northern terminus of the railway. and it is now conceded that the official opening of the future me- tromlls will not take place until some Opening of Moosonee May be Postponed to July Speaking of rough wrestlers. there are few rougher than Alex Kasaboski. the "Pitiless Pole" who will clash with Abe Kashey, the Armenian champion, in the opening bout. Kasaboski learn- ed much of his wrestling from the late Stanley Stasiak so it is not to be won- dered at that he favours a villainous style. Kashey is a polished worker and has to his credit a victory over Gino Garibaldi, the Italian champion. The semi-final will go forty-five utes and the preliminary thirty utes unless decided by falls. Gctch, a no ‘11.“ of Frank Gotch, former world‘s champion, is of the rough and ready type, frequently breaking the rules to take advantage of his opponents. He delights in using the forbidden stranglehold and the re- ferees all dislike officiating in his bouts. Steele and Katan will not be the only wrestlers of prominence to appear here for promoter Corocoran has ar- anged an all-star programme. In the semi-final Metros Kirilenko, the “Ter- rible Cossack” who rates among the first half dozen challengers for the title will meet Joe Crotch of Cleveland. Kirilenko won the Madison Square Garden elimination tournament last fall, qualifying to meet Londos. He went nearly an hour before losing the bout and made a fine showing. I Timmins wrestling fans who have read of the exploits of Ray Steele, the ;famous wrestler from Glenadle. Cal, including his recent sensational two- incur bout against Jim Londos. for the ; world's championship. will have an op- !portunity to see him in action next lweek. Promoter Jack Corcoran. of Toronto will hold the first of a series {of shows here next Thursday evening fat the Skating Rink and has matched ithe brilliant Steele with John Katan, gpcwerful Western Canada Ukrainian. !ior the main bout which will be to a‘ ‘finish best two out of three falls to de-‘ Icicle the winner. Katan. younger than Steele, is con- sidered one of the best prospects in heavyweight ranks. He was a novice when he came east to wrestle in To- ronto three years ago but even then was considred a good prospect. At that time he weighed just 185 pounds. Now he is six feet tall. beautifully developed and scales well over 210: pounds. He has been making St. Louis his head- quarters for the past couple of years and has met some of the best wrestlers in the game with a goodly share of success. Steele holds the world's. record {0’ wrestling gate receipts. he and Londos drawing $115,000 at the Cancer F‘unc‘ show at Yankee Stadium. New York, last June. He gave Londos a hard bout then. but made it even closer for him a couple of weeks ago in Toronto when they went the two hour limit with the only fall of the bout, a decidedly lucky one, giving Londos the victory. Steele is confident that, given another chance, he can dethrone Londos and local fans may see the next world‘s champion in action next Thursday. gFamous Wrestlers to be Here Next Week Ray Steele.
