Last week The Advance noted t}t the enrolment in many of the evening vocational classes this year was not up to the mark and that unless there were more desiring to take up certain studâ€" ies several of the courses would have to be droted. It was pointed out that the evening vocational classes offered an unusual opportunity for advanceâ€" ment and betterment and the suggesâ€" tion was made that all should take the opportunity offered, practically without cost, except the time spent in the evenâ€" ings in preparing oneself for better positions. _ Apparently the suggestion was accepted for during the past week the enrolment in most of the classes has increased by fifty per cent. Last week the total enrolment in all courses at the evening vocational classes was 194. Yesterday the total enrolment was 300. The only course in which the enrolment has not run up to a good figure is the one in arithmetic. This course, however, now has sufficient enâ€" roelment to justify carrying it on and all the courses announced in previous issues of The Advance will be carried on this year. The courses include:â€"Business courses (typewriting . and stenography, and bockkeeping and business pracâ€" tice): English for nonâ€"English speakâ€" ing students; English for advanced stuâ€" dents (second and third year students) ; French (conversational and business) ; arithmetic: cooking; sewing and dressâ€" making; chemistry and maâ€" chine shop practice; woodâ€"working shop practice; practical and theoretical elecâ€" ple stu The next regular meeting of the Timâ€" mins town council will be held on Monday, Oct. 24th, commencing at 4 p.m. Three Hundred Now: at Evening Classes WIHIIST DRIVE BY THE LADIES AUXILIARY, MONDAY, OCT. 24TH n 108 The people of Timmins will have the opportunity on Saturday of this week Oof seeing an exhibition of works of art by noted Canadiar artists and also the chance to hear a short address on Canâ€" adian Art by a recognized authority.

Some very interesting reports come from Toronto this week relative to plans for dealing with the unemployed the coming winter. There have been negotiations going on for some weeks between the Dominion and Ontario Governments. There is to be further negotiations this week when Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forâ€" ests, will have an interview at Ottawa with Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Colonization and Immigration in the Dominion Cabinet. One of the interesting reports is that there will be extension of the present boarding camp arrangements for takâ€" ing are of the unemployed at road work in Northern Ontario. It is said that the work will be carried on all winter under an arrangement whereby the Dominion and provincial governâ€" ments each contribute on a 50â€"50 basis. Speaking on the prevention of blindâ€" ness and the subsequent care of the affected, Mr. Lawley said:â€""If you have reason to think there is anything wrong with your sight, it is your duty to tell your parents and your teacher. This is in order that the trouble be checked in its inception. Our five sensesâ€" seeing, touching, smelling, hearing and tastingâ€"are the gateways to life‘s understanding and appreciaâ€" tion. Should one of these senses beâ€" come defective, the remaining four must be developyd. to work harder. This is how the blind find their comâ€" pensation for the loss of one senseâ€" by training." E. L. Longmore, who accompanied Mr. Lawley, explained to the students that a citizens‘ committee had met to sponsor and help the good work of the institute and their support for the cause will be appreciated.

B. Lawley has visited the schools in Timmins and district, interviewing the principals and leaving literature which deals with the activities of the Institute. On Monday at 4 p.m. he addressed a large assembly of students at Timmins High School, Principal W. W. Tanner presiding. Mr. Lâ€"awley told of the development of the work of caring for the blind in all parts of Canada. He reviewed the Address to School by Blind Organizer A party of Timmins sportsmen have gonre on a hunting trip o the James Bay country. The party includes:â€" A. W. Young, J. D. Brady and Fred Sexton, of town; Clark Davis, of the Abitibi Co.; and W. G. Seott, of Toronâ€" to, formerly manager of the Bank of Commerce at Timmins. The party left at 6 p.m. on Friday. They expect to be away a couple of weeks or so. They plan on going to Hannah Bay and hunting there and north of there. Some of the party have hunted in the Mcosonee country before and know that it is fairly swarming with game. D. B.

Neither one of them shot any partridge and this fact is made the basis for goodâ€"humoured teasing of the couple since, and the incident generally being taken now as a joke. At the time they were missed, however, it was viewâ€" ed as a serious matter and there was much alarm felt, while every possible effort was made to locate and rescue the couple. will be continued and extended in scope and pay with work once more taken up on the Transâ€"Canada highway as one way of creating employment and so fr_eing the country to that extent of direct relief and its evils.

TRANSFERRED TO KIRKLAND AS MANAGER OF BRAXCH THERE The girl said they became lost about two hours after they started into the bush and were overtaken by darkness. They could see nothing around them but swampâ€"land and decided the better course would be to remain where they were until daybreak rather than risk injury plunging through the dense unâ€" dergrowth. Guided by the shots they found their way to the search party using a flashâ€" light to find their way through the bush. Four automobiles carried searchers to the Bidgood road after Mrs. M. Tayâ€" lor, mother of the missing girl, had become alarmed at their continued abâ€" sence three hours after the time they had said they would be home. Dangler‘s fellowâ€"employees found the couple in the bush about a mile off the Bidgcod road and four miles east of Kirkland Lake. At Kirkland Lake this week there was serious fear for a time that the town was going, to have another tragedy to add to the. bne of last week.. Miss Marion Taylor, a High School girl 0: 16 years, and William Dangler, 22 years of age, went on a partridge hunting trip together on Monday, and failed to return home for hours after the time they were expected. It was believed that they must have got lost in the bush or that some other accident hac happened to "them. Search parties were organized and the young people were eventually found after being lost for seven hours. They were found late at night by a party of searchers from the Wrightâ€"Hargreaves Mine, where Dangler is employed, after they had become lost in the bush arcund the Bidgood Mine.

For this evening, in addition to "The Talk of the Town," a oneâ€"act extravaâ€" ganza, ‘"The Toy Shop," to be given by forty trained child actors, singers and dancers under the direction of Mrs. Rosalind Barrett. This event with the large number of talented youngsters in attractive costumes and with effective stage settings should add much to the pleasure of the occasion. The event this evening is under the auspices of the Altar Society of the Church of the Nativity, which is anâ€" other sign that it should be good, for the ladies of this society have a wellâ€" won reputation for not linking up with anything but successful and pleasing events. Tickets have sold well for the event this evening, but it is probable that even yet there may be a few good seats available on the plan at Halâ€" perin‘s jewelery store. ence to the cancellation of the tag day in favour of the Legion Poppy Day, made a popular hit with his listeners. Refreshments were served and the gathering dispersed after spending a very enjoyable and profitable evening. At time of going to press the names of the lucky ones were not available, but it is hoped to publish them in the next issue of The Advwance. Mrs. Barrett‘s success was in *"Kathâ€" leen Mavourneen" and the hundreds delighted by that dramatic offering are looking forward to the event this evenâ€" ing. Mrs. Barrett herself says that "The Talk of the Town" is the best play she has directed and that the local talent, some sixty people in all, have shown special interest and ability in carrying the event through.

It is described as just another of the silly alien stunts. The aliens gathered despite orders from the authorities, traffic was ‘blocked,, citiâ€" zens annoyed and property endangered. It was a case of giving over the town to the aliens or stopping the defiance of the law.. Accordingly, a group of citiâ€" zens joined the police and drove the aliens away. There were no serious casualties and the affair did not take long. There were a few skirmishes where the odd alien would attempt to fight, but the citizens overpowered the malcontents and there was soon order and peace restored.

"If the farmer can sell, he will buy" One of the chief features in Timmins is the window display plan. Merchants have been asked to feature the week by displays in their stores and by window dressing, the windows for the week, or part of the week, to be deâ€" voted exclusively to farm products grown in Ontario. One store in Timâ€" mins has bettered this idea by not only confining the goods shown in the winâ€" dow to Ontario farm products but the store has folliowed the plan further and produced an excellent window dealing only with goods grown right here in Timmins. And the farm products in this window will take a whole lot of beating. For the best windows a numâ€" ber of prizes are offered, the first prize being $9.00 in cash, the second $7.00, the third $5.00 and then a number of prizes, most of them two dollars each. The committee of judges were around on Tuesday of this week and will make another round of the windows on Friâ€" day. The committee includes D. Poâ€" merleau, District Representative of the Dept. of Agriculture, Cochrane Disâ€" trict. W. 0. Langdon, president of the Timmins.board of trade; Chas. Pierce, one of ‘the "pioneer merchants of the town and the North; A. P. Dooley, for many years a successful merchant in town. These judges should make a good job of the decision in the matter.

There seems to be no doubt that Ontario Farm Products Week has created a great deal of inâ€" terest in the minds of ali, and either directly or indirectly, or a little of both, has done much and will do much to make the public realize the imporâ€" tance of the plan and also to popuâ€" larize the use of Ontarioâ€"grown proâ€" ducts. The window displays and the goods in the stores helps to prove that Ontario farms can supply better proâ€" ducts in most lines than are obtainâ€" able elsewhere and that the prices for Ontaricâ€"grown goods is reasonable and fair, The public in general should make a note of the fact that this is Ontario Farm Products Week. All should see the stores and the window displays. Especially is it well to see the window featuring the products of a Timmins~ market garden. This exâ€" hibit shows that M. J. Tinkess is an expert in growing market garden pro= duce and that the North is one of the , best market gardens on the continent. â€"â€"R»dince is announced to be given by Doug.

Mr. Postelnicu in St. Matthew‘s Anglican church at 7.30 in the morning. On Sunday evening a meeting of all the Roumanian people in the town is called to be held in St. Matthew‘s church hall at 8.30 pm. At this meetâ€" ing plans will be discussed as to organâ€" izing for the Roumanian people to put up a building of their own for workship and secure a clergyman of their own. In speaking to The Advance this week Revy. Mr. Postelnicu said he was much impressed with the progress and modern type of the town of Timmins. He was also much impressed with the fact that most of the Roumanian people are employed and getting along well. There are very few of them out of work, probaoly only six or seven, he thought. He noted that many of them were established as merchants and were doing well. He thought the majority of them were naturalized Canadian subjects and he described them as loyal to the country and to their church. There were alsd a number now of Canadianâ€"born among the Roumanians DOUG. CRAIG AND HIS GAY HEARTS ORCHESTRA, OCT Rev. Marin Postelnicu, of Hamilton, is in Timmins at present and will reâ€" main for a little time in the effort to stir up interest in church matters with the Roumanians in town. Rev. Mr. Postelnicu says that there are fifty property owners among the Roumanian people here and probably a hundred more single men of the nationality. They are members of the Greek Orthoâ€" dox Church. There being no branch of their church in this district they have been attending the Anglican church, though some have joined the R. C. church. There has been desire exâ€" pressed by many of them, Rev. Mr. Postelnicu says, to have a church and minister of their own so that they might follow their own mode of worâ€" ship as in their own country. It is not known at present whether the plan for a church and clergyman of their own can be carried out. Service on Sunday for the Roumanians Rev. Marin Postelnicu, of HWamilton, will Hold Service in St. Matthew‘s 730 a.m. Sunday. Mecting in Church Hall 8.30 p.m. ( Pine street south; C. Zilliotto, Pine street south; Bertrand Bros., Townsite. D.
