Ex-mayor Trudell, of Cobalt, ten years ago protested the election of Tay- lor Pipe as mayor of Cobalt for 1923. on the grounds that Mr. Pipe was not a resident of Cobalt, and because it was alleged that some electors entitled to vote were refused ballots. Never in the 58 years of London Life history have we had a more gratifying report than for the troublesome year 1932! 3 The Income amounted to $19,690,248â€"a sub- stantial gain over 1931. 4 The funds of the Company are never idle. They are kept fully invested in nomspeculative enterprises. chiefly government and municipal bonds and first mortgages on im- proved real estate. The increase in our business has meant, therefore. a correspondingly greater contribution through such investments to the welfare of the country. I More people than ever before bought London Life policies for future provision for themselves, their families and business interests. The new insur- ance purchased from the London Life amounted to “ We built our business for days like these.” The security of the Company, which stands back of all policies has been further strengthened. One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,463,094) The Policy Reserves are greater by $5,120,740 than required by the Dominion insurance law. The Free Surplus on the Company’s own high standard has been increased to $3,111,151. This surplus is in addition to (1) all special policy and investment reserves set up in this and former years. and (2) the full provision made for all profits accruing and profits due to policyholders in 1933. The Assets have been written down where necessary or reserves set up to fully take care of depreciation. The Assets now amount to $77,558,312, an increase of $5,336,895.

Way, for thirteen years station agent at Cobalt, was taken ill ten years ago while attending the installation ceremonies at the Eastern Star Lodge at Cobalt. He passed away in a ifew minutes. Death was due to heart fail- ure. In reporting the death at the time The Advance referred to the pass- ing of Mr. Way as a loss to the Whole North. Land. He was for some years secretary of the Cobalt board of trade and also took a deep interest and part in the Nonthern Ontario Assoociated Boards of Trade. He was always a booster for the North and his energy and" ability made him a very useful and helpful citizen. He 'was on the Mothers' Allowance aboard for Temis- kaming, a director of the Y.M.C.A.. a valued member of the Masonic Lodge and in many other lines of service and resyonsibility had ' proven‘ his talent and public-spiritedness. He had been able to straighten out freight difficul- ties at both Cobalt and South Porcu- pine, having a genius for organization. The late Mr. Way was a native of Pic- ton, Ont., and was about 53 years of age the time of his death. A Widow and seven children survived. The funeral took place on Jan. 13th, 1923. i Ten years ago the Caledonian Society iof Timmins was a strong organization ~ and all its meetings drew large crowds who enjoyed themselves very much. There was a good mixture of literary and entertainment features 'at each meeting. A big feature of the first meeting in January ten years ago was a paper by J. K. Moore. He took “The Land 0' Cakes" as the title. and around this title he gathered a remarkable array of facts and ideas of particular interest to Scots and Scotswomen. In a short but interesting address W. M. Whyte commented on Mr. Moore's pa- per and '1‘. S. Clark, of Toronto. who i was a frequent visitor to Timmins those days also added his word of com- mendation and appreciation of Mr. Moore's paper. Piano solos by W. H. ’Wilson, solos by Mrs. H. McCulloch and A. J. Downie, and refreshments served by the ladies added to the even- ;ing’s enjoyment. At the close there ‘ was dancing. Mrs. Shewan presiding ati I the piano for the dances. One of the iiveiy and musing events ten years ago was a broombuli match between Hoiiinxer-and Timmlns. the Hoiiinger winning 1 to 0. To get on either team a payer had to be 3 mar- ried man. the idea being that only such were good enough with a broom to qualify for a real team.

ONTARIO The average shipments of gold bul- lion over the railway from Porcupine and Kirkland Lake now amount to $1,- 000,000 every 10 days, Mr. Lee points out in his report. Mneage operated at the close of the fiscal year was 69138. Gross revenue from all sources in 1932 showed a de- crease of 31,019,419, 30.65 per cent. as compared with 1931 and a decrease in gross expenditure of $556,707, 13.9 per Northern Railway’é Surplus is $473,085 The Temiskaming and Northern On- tario Railway had a net operating surâ€" plus of $473,085 for the year 1932, Chairman George W. Lee’s report for that period reveals. The report is fyled at the Ontario Parliament Buildings for deposition with the Provincial Legislature immediately the 1922 ses- sion opens. In addition, it. shows the sum of $240, 000 was paid out to provide for matured interest on its debenture bond issue of $6, 000 ,.000 Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years agowere the 'followingzâ€"“J.

The collection was for the benefit of a local family suffering serious loss in a fire some days previ- lously.” “The standing of the teams in *the N.O.H.A.

An even break and a r clean start for the six remaining games, three of which will be playedin Tim- mins, and three at the Falls.” “F. W.. Browne, organizer for Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, who did good work in the organization of a lodge of the Elks in Timmins, has recently been at the same work in Iroquois Falls, and the new Elks lodge there opens with a membership of over sixty." “Wilson Lang, formerly of Haileybury, and well-known and very popular in, the North Land, was a visitor to Tim- mins last week and was warmly greet- ed by old friends in the district. Wil-: son lang is a brother of Mac Langfi MRP. . for Cochrane riding." “Firesi are usually credited with coming in1 groups of three, according to an cld-, time superstition. If there is one fire‘ alarm, there will be two niore in a very short. time, according to this super- stition. Tuesday evening of last week this superstition was upheld by the whole trio of calls coming in during the evening and within a few hours of each other. They were all chimney blazes, and only one of them had any threatening features and the prompt response of the brigade took .the men- ace out of this one before it could get going. Practically no damage - was done by the three little blazes." “.M Greer, chief of police, is ill at his home here. All will wish the popular and able chief an early and, complete return to health." “‘Make yourself an honest man,” says Carlyle. “and then you can be sure there is one less rascal in the world." “A man and a motor are very much. alike in one respect. There is surely something wrong with either of them when they kep continually knocking." An or- ganization meeting of the Liberal-Con- servatives of the town of Timmns will be held in the town hall on Thursday evening of this wek, Jan. 18th, 1923.

' 'I‘immins and the Falls may be keen rivals, but devoted to the North Land, and ready to back each other against the rest of creation and North Bay." I Ten years ago The Advance used to refer to Timmins and Iroquois Falls as the “friendly rivals." That seemed to explain the attitude and feelings of the two towns. There was very keen rlval-. ery between the two towns in hockey.» ,baseball and other sports. and in cther‘ :matters each town was always on the lookout to keep up with the other in material ways. At the same time there was a real friendliness between the two places underneath all friendly rivalry. When Timmins or Iroquois Falls had a contest with other towns the sym- pathy of the other of the friendly rivals was with its neighbour. The spirit of ten years ago so far as Tim- mins and the Falls were concerned is illustrated by the following-paragraph from The Advance of Jan. 17th, 1923:-| "A pleasing example of neighbourllness; and good'fellowshiy was evidenced at New Year's time by the mayors of Timmins and Iroquois Falls.
