That it is especially well worth while is proven by the fact that Lifeguard Robertson has already saved d number of lives. If only one life were saved in a sumâ€" mer most people would consider the appointment of a lifeguard fully justiâ€" fied. With half a dozen tragedies averted through the work of the lifeâ€" guard it would appear that the Apâ€" pointment is one of the best that could possibly be made. Credit is certainly due to the council, to Oscar Robertson, and to those, like Alex Kidd, who volâ€" untarily lend their assistance in the rood work of helping others. New Constable has had Noteworthy Experience Geo. A. Archambault, recently of Kirkland Lake, started duty last night as a member of the Timmins police force, taking the place made vacant some weeks ago by the resignation of Constable Meranger, and filled for aA short time by Constaple Potvin.

Cauliâ€" flowers, Cucumbers, Carrots, Onions, Ete,, Etc., as Well as Flawers at Local Markets These Days. Local potatoes madse their appearâ€" ance at the farmers‘ market in the ball park this week. They are of good size, clean looking, and are said to be much bettsr eating than the imported vegeâ€" tables. They were selling on Tuesday morning at 30 to 40 cents an 11â€"quart 15 cents, are also fresh in the stalls, Vegetable marrows at 10 and 15 cents are popular sellers. One stall had tiny vegetable marrows at 30 cents a dozen, picked while still undeveloped for a select trade in Timmins. Generous bunches of flowers, sweet peas, phlox and stocks were selling at 10 cents a bunch. To meet competition, some of the farmers this week cut prices on all bunched produce. Carrots, beets, patrâ€" snips, and Swiss chard, selling last week at 5 cents a bunch, have been reâ€" duced to~ 34 bunches for 10 cents. The snips, and Swiss chard, selling 1last week at 5 cents a bunch, have been reâ€" duced to 3 bunches for 10 cents. The bunches are getting bigger as the seaâ€" son progresses. The market is still not the popular buying place it shoulg be, though many more Timmins housewives are taking advantage of the opportunity to buy really fresh Northern produce at reâ€" markaply low prices, There is only one stall still unrented, but each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday finds the shelves of all the others piled high with Says Weather Will Continue Fine Now Timmins Citizens‘ Band are giving a band concert at the bandstand in the park this evening at eight o‘clock.

Wednesâ€" day‘s low mark of 44 degrees is eclipsed by the temperature a year ago of 41 aegrees. But Tuesday‘s rain did set up a record for 1935. Not since July 24th, 1934, has such a heavy rain fallen in Timmins. On that day an inch and an eighth of moisture came from the clouds, while on Tuesday, the total was an inch and a quarter.

Langdon, president of the ‘ Associated Boards, left Timmins this | week to attend the meeting, and beâ€" fore he left, he told The Advance that !road building in the North is one of the big subjects up for discussion. It is proposed to ask the government to bring the Ferguson highway up to Transâ€"Canada highway specifications, |and to ask for small settlers‘ roads in many parts of the North, Should Préeâ€" mier HMHepburn‘s edic; e immediately enforceable, it will mean the €essation of a considerable amount of roadwork in the North, for which the Associated Boards have always fought hard «_._â€" Mr. Franklin has been here for the past week making his survey and is prepared now to offer the council some suggestions by which their bookkeepâ€" ing may be made more simple.
