The FFPCF. is a charitable organization designed only for charit= able~andâ€"other worthy â€"causesâ€"and in no ways connected with politics. The PP.CF. is the Federation des Femmes Canadiennesâ€"Francaises, or, in English, the Federation of the Frenchâ€"Canadian Women. Lady Bessborough is the honâ€" orary president of the organization. On April 26th the association held its 16th annual convention in Ottawa and attracted much favourable attenâ€" tion from press and public. Whileo the organization is new to Timmins it is of long standing in the regard of the people in other centres. It cares for the poor and sick and also provides prizes and scholarships for school childâ€" ren, It was for these worthy purposes that the P.FP.C.F. tag day was held in Timmins on Tuesday, and there will be general satisfaction at the fact that the onterprising ladies doing the | tagging were able to secure such good returns for the worthy causes concerned. preseni left on and it snow According to word from North Bay, the Tudhope airport is the only one in the district where work is not now in progress.

This year there were threats of calling general strikes of all workâ€" ers and boasts about demonstrating, etc., on the streets. None of these evils eventuated. A heavy fall of rain at Rouyn on May 1st discouraged the reds, while the presence of a large force of police also had its effect. After writâ€" ten, typewritten and printed threats and howls about what would be done the reds did, not do a thing at Rouyn. They were particularly vicious because they had been forbidden to parade and there were enough police officers to see that the law was not broken maliciousâ€" ly or wilfully. A group of men who had been boasting that they were goâ€" ing to Rouyn to demonstrate against the refusal to allow the reds to parade attempted to board the train at Amos to travel to Rouyn, but were not allowâ€" ed on board. They then attempted to walk from Amos to Rouyn, a distance of some seventy miles. Some of them made the distance but on arrival at Rouyn the police warned them against any illegal actions and the men in the group were too tired from their walk to stage any further parading. About the only thing the reds accomâ€" plished in Roeuyn was to have the liquor store, hotels and beer shops closed down for May 1ist. The Quebec Liquor Commission ordered all places selling liquor to be closed for the day as a precautionary step to avoid trouble. This road will go by way of Matacheâ€" wan, Elk Lake, Gowganda, Shiningtree etc., to meet the road running north from Sudbury. The $10,000,000 programme which was announced for the South is supplemenâ€" tary to the programme which was proâ€" jected last fall. It is expected to call for roads, buildings and bridges. The premier said he discussed the proâ€" gramme when he and Hon. Leopold Macaulay visited Ottawa on Wednesâ€" day of last week.

Mr. Kenning referred briefly to the good work accomplished by the Henry Government and especially what had been done for the North.
