ONT. and South Porcupine AVOCATâ€"BARRISTER Hamilton Block in charge of Municipal Audits Agents Everywhere Toronto Vancouver Province:â€" A Scotsman left a tip for a waitressâ€"he‘d been eating asparagus. â€" Mr. Belanger has had long experiâ€" ence in similar positions to that he now occuples and will no doubt do the work well and efficiently. The board made the appointment following a@ number of applications made after an advertisement. Maurice Belanger took over the duâ€" ties of secretary of the High School Board this week, following the retireâ€" ment of Pat Murphy from the position. Mr. Murphy‘s recent appointment to the accountant‘s job at the town hall made it impossible to continue as the "It is said "keep on asking and ye shall receive," but the patience of the Northern radio owner is fast givlng way." J. M. Belanger Secretary Timmins High School Board I ; "Notwithstanding the fact that the government hasâ€"and contrary fo the expressed ideas of Premier Benneitâ€" issued radio favours to newspapermen at Sudbury and Kirkland Lake (inâ€" cluding Timmins), the majority of the people of the District of Temiskaming and Cochrane are stlll asked to pay two dollars a year for "nothing." As a matter of fact, the new thousandâ€" watt station at Sudbury, which is said to have started operations over a wave of 780, has not, so far as we can asâ€" certain, been definitely heard even in New Liskeard, a comparatively short distance from Sudbury. We have reâ€" peatedly made efforts to hear CKSOâ€" at 780â€"but up to the present several American stations appear to have that wave monopolized. Sufficient has alâ€" ready been ‘said about the programs and reception given by the other broadcasting units in the North. "At the meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade held at North Bay on Friday last, the radio question was again brought up and criticism was, to say the least, not complimentary to the present service. The opinion was expressed that if the Federal Governâ€" ment "is too hard up" to give Northern Ontario one of the five or six broadâ€" casting units which are to be placed across Canada, it might at least seâ€" cure for CFRBâ€"the best of Ontario‘s broadcasting stations, so far as we are concernedâ€"a more favourable wave length and greater watt strength, so that it might be heard throughout the day as well as night, and be able to compete successfully with the big American plant at Cincinnati. Industrial employment in Ontario showed a slight seasonal decline. The 4,119 firms coâ€"operating on Aug 1 have 392,517 employes, or 757 fewer than at July 1. The loss was smaller than that recorded on the average, in the years since 1920. Most of the reduction ocâ€" curred in trade, construction and manufacturing; within the group of factory :employment, iron and steel showed pronounced seasonal curtailâ€" ment, and rubber, tobacco and beverâ€" age, chemical and miscellaneous manuâ€" acturing works were also slacker, while leather, fur, food, lumber, pulp and paper, electric current and electrica) apparatus factories reported improveâ€" ment iLogging, mining and transporâ€" tation also indicated considerably heightened activity. Employmentâ€" on Aug. 1, 1934, had shown a much greater decline as compared with the preceding month, but the index number was then nigher, standing at ‘106.0, as compared with 102.4 at the latest date. Not Satisfied With Radio Service in North Land A front page editorial in the New Liskeard Speaker last week says:â€"â€" The increase in employment on Aug. 1, the report says, was largely in manuâ€" facturing, construction and maintenâ€" ance, and transportation, while mining, communicatisns and services also showed improvement. On the other hand, logging and retail trade reported seasonal curtailment. Employment in all the main industrial groups, except logging and construction, was in greatâ€" er velume than on the corresponding date last year. The falling off in the latter in this comparison was in work on highways, both building and railâ€" way construction being more active. By economic areas employment inâ€" creased in Quebec, the prair‘e provinces and British Columbia. In the Mariâ€" time Provinces no general change 0câ€" cured, while moderate reductions were shown in Ontario. On August ist, 9,387 firms reported 949,940 persons at work, an increase of more than 15,000 or 1.6 per cent., comâ€" pared with 934,630 on July 1. The modâ€" erately forward movement in employâ€" ment has continued since the first of the year with but cne exception, the only decline being a seasonal nature on April 1, says the report. recorded on Aug. 1 for the past 14 years, the Dominion Bureau of Statisâ€" tics reported one day last week. Gains in Employment Noticed by Dominion Employment at the beginning of August showed an advance that conâ€" siderably exceeded the average gain Advance as of August Exâ€" ceeds Average for the Past Fourteen Years.

The sentence is expected to stop a regular epidemic of ‘bicycle thefts in the Kirkâ€" land Lake district recently. At Kirkland Lake last week Roddic Gregorish was given 30 days in jail for theft of a bicycle. The polive said | "A deal was compieted on Friday, August 23rd, with the McIntyre Porâ€" Mines Limited, by a group of four prospectors, Steve and Dan Berâ€" rigan, Gordon Calder and Dénnis Cleâ€" ment, for the option to that company of eight claims at Clearwater Lake, in the Red Lake district, after an examiâ€" nation had been made by H.

The phot:graph (LEPT) is that of "chained" in the streets of Addis Ababa, and they are probably pictures of such "chained debtors" (though original captions with pictures do not specifically designate them as such). ‘They do illustrate the manner in which : or prisoners of Abyssinia have been chained and tethered to an exi that amounted to slavery, as they worked off their debts Emperor Orders the Diseased and Beggars from Addis Ababa the institute‘s "Bulletin.‘" Mr. Megill was employed during his vacation at this mine and his paper, illustrated by his own drawings, gives a comprehenâ€" sive and clearâ€"cut picture of the variâ€" ous mining and milling operations at that important mine. The president‘s gold medal and first prize for a student paper was awarded by the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy this year to H. B.

(RIGHT), is photograph of an Abyssinian mendicant of the kind that fell under the stern hand of the empéror, ~ While helping in the installation of some conduit pipe at the Stadaconaâ€" Rouyn Mine on Wednesday morning of last week about nine o‘clock,. John Raymond Larkin, aged 24 years, was electrocuted by clutching hold of a live wire to maintain his balance on a ladâ€" det. Though artificial respiration was applied for several hours, revival of life was not possible. The coroner‘s Jjury returned a verdict of accidental death with no, blame attached to anyâ€" one. It is believed that the young man Jlost his balance and naturally caught _at the wire nearby. Ordinarily he woulg not have suffered from this but for the fact that the insulation was joff the wire at the spot grabbed. The victim of "the accident was a nephew of the electrical contractor doing the work, â€"P. M. Fleming of Haileybury, for whom he was working during the summer months. The young man was about to return to the East in a couple of weeks to complete his course in electrical science at St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish, N.S. His moâ€" ther, Mys. John Larkin, who is a widow, had been living with her four sons at Noranda, but they intended to return to Ottawa for the winter. The body was taken to Ottawa for interâ€" ment, and P. M. Fleming being in Otâ€" tawa for the funeral, was unable to be present at the funeral of another nephew, Ernest Fleming, Haileybury, who was accidentally drowned near Haileybury last week and who was buried at Haileybury on Sunday afterâ€" noon.

The regular monthly meeting of the Local Association of the Boy ‘Scouts will be held this evening at 7.30 in the town hall. All members and officers are asked to be present, as there is still a considerable amount of business in connection with last week‘s jamboree to be cleaned up. . Electrocuted Last Week At Stadaconaâ€"Rouyn Mine Meeting This Evening of Boy Scouts Association JB 1y Enc oane o) Hill at any time in any schoolhouse in the riding. Other speakers at the picâ€" nic were Hon. Peter Heenan, New Lisâ€" keard, and Walter Little, the candidate. The latter‘s address was cut short by the rain. There were about 500 people at the picnic. Speaking on behalf of Walter Little, Liberal candidate for Temiskaming South, at a picnic last week at Charlâ€" ton, Jos. A. Bradette, M.P., charged that both the Stevens party and the C.C.F. were seeking power without reâ€" sponsibility. "They are after the balâ€" ance of power," he said, "a position where they can enjoy power without responsibility. They are theorists who cannot put their theories into pracâ€" tice." In answer to this Walter Hill, of Englehart, C.C.F. candidate for Teâ€" miskaming South, issued a challenge to debate economics with any Liberal. In turn this challenge was taken up by J. A. Habel, M.P.P. for Cochrane North who said he would be glad to meet Mr. Ottawa Journal: It might be interâ€" to know where the majority of these trekkers worked before the deâ€" pression, how long they worked in the same places, and the sort of workers they were. ‘ Of course, all this brought strong obâ€" jection from Gerald O‘Meara, counsel for the Lake Shore Mine, who referred to the statement about "collecting samples" as a libel on half of the population of the camp. He asked for an exemplary sentence, the despatchss say, "to deter others in this town where highâ€"grading has become big business." Magistrate Atkinson also took noâ€" tice of the defence counsel suggestion. ‘"Mine managers have no control over sentences in this court," he said, addâ€" ing that no effort should be made by anyone to make a deal with any acâ€" cused person in any way. The magisâ€" trate, however, made it clear that no mine ‘official had approached him in the matter and so far as the court was concerned there had been no attempt to interfere with the course of justice In any way. Members Say New Parties \ Evading Responsibilities In his plea for leniency defence counsel suggested that Dagenais was ‘"the victim of a gang of professional highâ€"graders." At Kirkland Lake last week Rayâ€" mond Dagenais, a young man emâ€" ployed at the Lake Shore Mine, pleadâ€" ed guilty to a charge of illegally havâ€" Ing gold ore in his possession,. He was sentenced by Magistrate Atkinson to not less than one year nor more than two years in the Ontario Reformatory. Crown Attorney Pearlman is quoted as saying that Dagenais had in his possession 108 pounds of ore valued at $524 when arrested. According to the despatches one of the highlights of the trial was the suggestion by Albert Serre, defence counsel, that high officials of the Lake Shore Mine had threatened t.he accused with a stiff sentence unless he confessed. The defsnce lawyer is quotâ€" ed as saying that "American third deâ€" gree" methods had been used by mine officials to secure a full confession. Another highlight featured in deâ€" spatches is the suggestion that Daâ€" genais had simply done what 95 per cent. of the miners in town aidâ€"colâ€" lect samples over a period of years; Kirkland Lake Young Man Had $500 Worth of Gold Ore. Defence Says Just Collecting Samples boil it for at least 20 minutes. All Outside Tollets must be made fiyâ€"~ proof.
