This step is said to be necessary, or requirâ€" ed on ‘account of the fact that there is not at present sufficient capital to carry t,t}c business along in effective way. i 0890000 00%06% 06 * it was necessary to take out the in jurâ€" ed eye to save the unfortunate man‘s sight in the uninjured eye. There is no doubt but that the man who threw the carrot now feels remorse and reâ€" gret for his foolish act. It was one of those gilly, thoughtless, inconsiderate things that some men will do under the impression that they are smart. A litâ€" tle common sense and regard for others would have saved the man a lot of reâ€" gret as well as avoiding the loss of an eye to the Chinese artist. SHAREHOLDERS MAY SELL THE MATHESON CREAMERY Recently The Advance told of the accident, if such it may be fairly termâ€" ed, whereby Harry Young, wellâ€"known Chinese artist, of Sudbury, might lose the sight of one eye. A man riding on the rear of a truck foolishly threw a carrot at Harry Young who was riding on a bicycle. The earrot struck the cyclist in the eye. Since the accident it has been necessary to take out the injured eye to save the sight of the unâ€" injured eye..

It is possible they thought it was hatching Another escaped prisoner from Burâ€" wash voiced the same desire as the one noted above, and while he did not know from experience what Kingston penitentiary was like he might retort that he did know Burwash. In this connection it might be as well to reâ€" member.that prisons and jails are not primarily established for" the comfort and pleasure of convicted persons, but rather for the protection of the public. This is something that is apparently forgotten very often these days, About the only objection noted against Burâ€" wash these days is the fact that the officials there stopped convicts from making some villainous form of homeâ€" brew that they were concocting from stolen â€" raisins and other foodstuffs. One of the escaped prisoners last week told the court trying him at Sudbury that it was some drinks of this convict homeâ€"brew that made him foolish enâ€" ough to attempt an escape. of law and order. These people have no regard for the rights of others, but they do ask the most careful considerâ€" ation of themselves. "You have everything there but your liberty," he said, "and theS' use you very well if you have sense enough to behave and not make unnecessary trouble." There is an opinion that conditions are not as easy at Burwash as they used to be, but that may be only newsâ€" paper talk or the littleâ€"tattle of men who have served terms and whose attiâ€" tude in life is to oppose every agency ing. At the same time in justice to Burwash it should be said that several from Timmins who have been interâ€" viewed say that men are used well at Burwash. One Timmins man who serâ€" ved several terms at Burwash during the old Ontario Temperance Act was questioned one time about the case with which men could escape from Burwauash. . Eventually, he voiced the opinion that a man was a fool to take opportunity to escape from Burwash. This yprisoner begged to be sent to Kingston penitentiary, rather than go back to Burwash. He completed a term at Kingston in April last and since then again ran foul of the law and was sent to Burwash. He and a number of others escaped from Burâ€" wash but were recaptured, and this man‘s whole plea was that he be given another term in Kingston, rather than at Burwash. As he has hade xperience in both places, he knew what he was askâ€" One of the sidelights on actual conâ€" ditions at the Portsmouth penitentiary near Kingston is given by the incident of a prisoner tried at Sudbury for esâ€" caping from Burwash prison farm. PREFERRED PENTITENTIARY TO THE BURWASH PRISON FARM plot Miss M. Southgate returned last week to her home in Huntsville after visitâ€" ing friends in Timmins and other centreés in the North. Last week The Advance published an | article from The Northern Tribune at! Kapuskasing, in which reference was‘i made to a Conservative convention to] be held at Cochrane last Saturday for it-he riding of North Cochrane. At the, , time The Advance thought it odd that} the Conservatives of North Cochrane ! should be holding a convention with no | election in sight, but it was considered § that The Northern Tribune knew what it was talking about. Last week, howâ€" ever, The Northern Tribune corrected litself saying that the part about the | Conservative convention was wrong but: the rest of the article was all right. | Apparently North Cochrane is not Zholding a Conservative convention unâ€"| | til an election is nearer than at present.: Under the new relief agreement beâ€" tween the province and the federal govâ€" ernment, considerable road construction. apart from the transâ€"Canada, will be undertaken in the north, according to word from Toronto. NO CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION AT COCHRANE LAST WEEK-END; Between 40 and 50 of these camps are located in the north, with the majority of them scattered along the links of the projected transâ€"Canada highway. The rate of pay a month in the board camps operated by the Ontario governâ€"| ment throughout Northern Ontario will be increased from $5 to $10 efi'ec-' tive September 1l1st. Officials of t,hel Northern Development Branch expect| a considerable and immediate increase in the number of men in these camps to result from the higher pay. There were many tickets sold in Timâ€" mins and other centres in the North for the car given away at the big picâ€" nic at Cormac in the Eganville district. It will interest all accordingly to know that the car was won by John Casey, of Kirkland Lake. The ticket cost him twentyâ€"four cents. Mr. Casey, knowing the reputation of the Cormac picnics for a good time and a happy gathering of friends decided to take in the event at Cormac on July 21st while on his vacation. Of course, he had a happy time, and also a pleasant surprise when he learned that he was the lucky winâ€" ner of the handsome car. He was formally presented with the car at the picnic, the presentation being made by Rev. Father George. Mr. Casey used his new car to drive home to Kirkland Lake. WORKERS ON TRANSâ€"CANADA HIGHWAY TO GET $10 A MONTH This week The Advance received a letter from the Temiskaming Firemen‘s Association. The letter is signed by Secord Robinson, president of the T. F. A., C. A. Byam, mayor of New Lisâ€" keard, R. 8. Taylor, chairman of the Liskeard fire and light committee, and F. E. Thompson, secretary T. F. A. The i letter read as follows:â€" "The Eighteenth Annual Convention of the above association will be held this year at New Liskeard, in the Public Library on Monday, October 2nd, 1933. The Secretary of the New Liskeard Fire Department, Mr. C. E. Bond, is chairman of registration, and will see to it that some one is on hand to look after your registration any time after October 1st at ten o‘clock in the foreâ€" noon.

The Association is striving to make this Anâ€" | nual Convention the time in each year | to meet and exchange views on differâ€" ent subjects of interest to the members of fire departments and the members| of municipal councils, and with this in | mind the President, Chief Secord Roâ€" binson, of Kapuskasing, is hoping to have papers presented and discussed at this Convention that will not only be intzsresting but, more important, educational. ‘The business session will open in the Public Library on Monday, October 2nd, at nineâ€"thirty a.m. standâ€" ard time. Adjournment will be made] | at twelve noon for Convention photoâ€" graph and lunch and reassemble at| oneâ€"thirty p.m.; and the annual banâ€" quet will take place in the Curling Rink at seven p.m., to be followed by the annual dance.

Kirkland Lake Man Wins _ _Car at the Cormac Picnic The North Land has grown steadily in the past few years and now there are two volunteer firemen‘s associations where there used to be one. Cochrane District now has a firemen‘s associat.on of its own, while for the southern part of this North Land, the original orâ€" ganization the Temiskaming Piremen‘s Association still carries on. Some of the Northern fire brigades still carry membership in the Temiskaming Fireâ€" men‘s Association, the president of the T. F.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO The Advance ten years ago:expressed the pleasure and satisfaction of the public at the adding to the T. NO. service by the running of new buffet cars on Nos. 46 and 47, the Toronto "Falling down, falling down! FPulâ€" ham bridge is falling down!" These were some of the sarcastic words The Advance used ten years ago to call the attention of the authorities to the fact that the bridge over Fulham creek was in dangerous condition. . "Wantedâ€"a proper bridge over Fulham creek!" was the conclusion of the article in The Advance. Notice was given in The Advance ten years ago that the new sewage disposal plant was finally completed and in full operation. Despite bad weather the firemen made arcund $250.00 out of the day, while the programme was excellent throughâ€" out and even the rain did not prevent all attending from enjcying the occasâ€" sion, while, maybe, cursing the weather Among the winners of feature events were the following:â€"5 mile race, H.
