The! cost of the $15,000.00 outfit could bej spread over three years Mr. Newton said. Chief Bo-rland pointed out that the growth of the town was outstrip- ping the expenditure for fire protection. He asked for two more men and a new team, unless the town added the motor equipment suggested by Councillor Newton. Chief Borland referred to the value of the chemical tank equipment. and certainly in recent years Chief Borland's knowledge in this respect has been amply justified. Mr. Tanner, re- presenting the LaFrance Fire Equip- ment 00.. gave a detailed description of the truck referred tolby Councillor Newton and fully proved its advantages.

The fire was a spectacular one and could be seen for quite a distancei Being outside the town limits there; was no fire-fighting means to use to cape with so large and serious a fire. The Advance ten years ago gave con- siderable space to a report of the ban- quet given by the South Porcupine Board of Trade to the Northern On- tario Associated Boards on the occasion of their session at South Porcupine. The banquet was a notable one with about 150 present in the Oddfeliows’ hall for the occasion. In the menu and the programme alike South Porcu- pine did itself proud. C. V. Gallagher, reeve of Tisdale. made a very. genial and able chairman. Among the speak- ers of the evening were:â€"-â€"Geo. Cole. mining inspector; Mr. Wright, of the ordered sent to R. A.

Mr. Sims noted the great growth and progress of the town during the past three years and was more than ever impressed with the wonderful prospects and possibilities of the Por- cupine camp." “The social evening held in the basement of St. Matthew’s church under the auspices of the W0- men’s Auxiliary on Monday evening last, attracted a large crowd, and a very enjoyable time was spent by all. A number of games and a short musical programme, followed by a very excellent luncheon, were the main features on the evening’s programme. The musical items includedzâ€"duet, by Mr. and Mrs. ’ Gilbert; oontralto solo, Miss Kensey; ' violin solo, J. Newman; song, by Miss Ethel Joyner.” “Paddy McDonough, lwho was here in the early days and I has innumerable friends in the camp, :Ispent the week-end in Timmins with . his brother, T. McDonough.” The Advance ten years ago says:â€"“It is understood that The Toronto Star is considering the employment of seven University professors and two other intoxicated 'prohiibitionists, to test out the truth of the story appearing in The Advance regarding the discovery of the Damli Diamond Mine near Tin Can Portage. The Advance would welcome such an investigation, feeling that the story as given in this paper is the very type that would appeal to The Star and its friends as having the ring of reason and the touch of truth. It is a much more reasonable and truthful tale on the surface than The Star's own story of the young man Richter from the wilds of Cincinnatti.” Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years «ago were the followingâ€"“The branch of the Im- perial Bank at Smooth Rock Falls has and Lakt The reports of the Teck Township relief omoer, William Johnston, show that it is costing over $1,000.00 a week for relief in Kirkland Lake these days. For one recent week the total was $1,040.74, of which the sum of $856.69 was expended on relief orders, food. fuel, rent, etc., to families in need. The balance of $184.05 was spent in supplying free meals to transients at the soup kitchen, where a total of 3,681 meals had been served during the week.’ There were 160 families on full relief during the week while there Relief at Kirkland Lake Costing $1040.00 a Week were other receiving part relief. When the report was received by the town- ship council at Kirkland Lake, the re- lief omcer was instructed to have the investigator make a new report on all those receiving relief as shown on the last report of the relief oflicer. the re- sults of the investigation in each case to be endorsed on the relief records. and these records to be Kept up to date. Councillor Mormon. in charge of the committee under which relief comes. suggested that he was in doubt as to the bone-tide nature of the some of the claims for relief. John R.

Word comes from several of the settled areas of the North in regard to the presence of the wolves and loss of live stock through this un- usual fact. Settlers in outlying sec- tions have been complaining about the number of wolves this year, but it is the more thickly settled areas that make the most objection to these des- tructive animals. The Uno Park cor- respondent of The New Liskeard Speaker last week says:â€" “A number of citizens here were treated to a. wolf solo on Sunday night when a lone howler sent out his mourn- WOLVES HOWLING AROUND NEW LISKEARD SECTION treated to a wolf solo on Sunday night when a lone bowler sent out his mourn- ful cry from the hills to the southwest. All the dogs in the community joined in the chorus. It seems incredible that these animals should be making them- selves heard and felt in such an alarm- ing manner when nothing of the sort ever happened before, not even in plan- eer days of thirty-five years ago.” At the annual meeting of the Can- adian Legion and Citizens' Band at Sud-bury last week, W. Coupar, head of the Sudbury branch of the Legion, was elected president of the band. ‘Mr. Coupar, now manager of the Sud'bury branch of the Dominion Bank, will be remembered by many friends in Tim- mins when he was on the staff of the Dominion Bank here and an enthusi- astic member of the Caledonian Society of Timmins, MATINEE DAILY AT 2.30 P.M.

These demands were identically the same as those handed in last week to the Kirk- land Lake council. These “demands" are the same as those submitted to the 1932 council for Kirkland Lake. They are also the same as those handed to the Timmins town council on several occasions. They are also the same as presented to other municipal councils time and again during the past year or two. They “demand“ that there be no war with China. They demand the repeal of part of the criminal code and they demand many things that are not likely to be granted. There are many peonleâ€"â€"some of them good Canadians at thatâ€"who have the idea that people on the other side of the ocean (the “slow old Buiâ€" tish” for instance) are not in it with the folks on this continent when it comes to speed. The facts are against this idea. that what are a few facts between friends. In the same way there is a. more or less commonly ac- cepted notion that Canadians are slow compared to their friends to the South. This idea is applied particularly to travel, but again the facts do not agree. Some-facts given out last week by the Canadian National Railways are worth considering. The combined average speed of 30 repmntative long-haul railroad pas- senger trains runs, compiled by the Technology Review, dropped slightly in 1932 from the same average taken by the Review in 1930, according to the current issue. In 1930 the average speed was 40.9 miles an hour.

The Technology Review states that the fastest train on the American Con- tinent is the Canadian National Rail- ways’ “International Limited" flying between Montreal and Toronto at an average speed of 55.6 miles an hour.
