Empire Block L€ Kecretary 58 tfh I Bristol, England, newspapers refer to an address given recently by H. Weeks, for many years mayor of Englehart, ! Ontario, who spoke to the Rotary Club iin the noted English city. Mr. Weeks spoke on ‘"Canada," but those who know his enthusiasm for the North will not be surprised to know that there ‘ was due reference to this section of the Dominion, its resources and its peoâ€" ple, which few men know better than Mr. Weeks, who has spent much of his life in this North,. There was incidental reference to some recent letters apâ€" pearing in The Advance, natives of Bristol in this district promptly replyâ€" ing to what they thought to be a reâ€" flection on Bristol by another letter writer. The point made by the speaker was that the North, like all other areas on the globe, has its quota of Bristol people and the man from Bristol never forgets his regard for the city and its people. ces un m on omm ocms mm mm ar n mm «o mm . The weather is hot in northwestern India, Mr. Glaister assured the Kiâ€" wanians, though from high up on the mountains where the traveller can be waist deep in snow and look down upon a land virtually shimmering in the hot sun. The speaker touched briefly on living conditions in the encampment and also on the trip from England to India, during which stops were made at Afriâ€" can ports. The club decided to pay the costs of an operation for a Timmins child born clubâ€"footed. 6 is expected that a comâ€" plete cure can be effected and leave the child free to take a normal place in society. Pleased With Potatoes A preliminary report on the Kiwanis Boys‘ Potato Club was received from the chairman of the boys‘ work comâ€" mittee, P. T. Moisley, in which it was stated that the 18 schoolboys who had taken part in the scheme had raised 250 bags of potatoes on a plot of ground under two acres in area. The vegeâ€" tables were free of any blemish. Deâ€" tailed reference was made to this in Monday‘s issue of The Advance. The club members were delighted with the results and plans are being laid for a potato fair. It is likely that the work will be continued next year. The business of stealing ground sheets is a ticklish performance. Memâ€" bers of the hostile tribes of the mounâ€" tainous district move ,silently when they‘re out for plunder. They can enter an encampment and even a tent withâ€" cut the slightest sound. Kneeling down beside a sleeping man, they can, by tickling him in the side, make him roll over. The ground sheet is then rolled towards <the man. A little carefully done tickling on the other side and the sleeping man rolls over again, leaving the sheet free to be taken â€"away. Block Pass With Boulders Other ‘playful habits of the tribes were described. The Khyber Fass, 35 miles long, is only 14 feet wide in spots. When ambushing a group of men, the tribes roll boulders down the steep sides of the pass, effectively cutting off adâ€" vance. The enemy would thenâ€"close in from the rear. Men who steal the ground sheets from under sleeping soldiers‘ bodies are not to be triflied with, the Kiwanis club learned on Monday when Tom Glaister told of warfare and living conditions near the Khyber Pass in northwestern India. Mr. Glaister was guest speaker at this week‘s luncheon and as a former member of the British army in India during the Great War, he had plenty of interesting and amusing incidents on which he could give first hand inâ€" formation. Address on Canada at Bristol, England Hostile Indian Tribes Cunning, Says Speaker Speaking of Bristol, the many in the North from that city may be interested to know that The Advance recently reâ€" ceived a group of pictures of Bristol, showing that city to be a notable place with public buildings that are a credit to thke entsrprise and the art of the citizens past and present. Some of the photographs : include places mentioned in the letters recently published in The Advanc>. Here is a partial list of the pictures:â€"The Cathedral, Bristol; the Cabot Tower; University Tower; College Green; Clifton Suspension Bridge from Ashton Meadows; Tramâ€" ways Centre; viscw from Clifton Susâ€" pension Bridge; Park Street,; St. Mary Redcliffe; the Sea Walls, Durham Downs, Bristo!; the Avon, from Cliffs, Clifton Downs, Bristol; Bristol from Cabot Tower, showing Cathedral and St. Mary Redcliffe Church;, Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol.

Ehe Mobpancre Published at Timmins, Ont., Canads, orever Favourable results are being obtained from the diamong drill programme at the property of Bidgood Kirkland Gold Mines, Ltd., according to S. A. Pain, consulting engineer in charge of operaâ€" tions. Diamond drill hole No. 47 has intersected the downward continuation of the No. 5 vein at a depth of 50 feet below the 500â€"foot level. He states that the ground was fractured considerably and the following core assays were obâ€" tained: $44.10 over 24 inches, 40 cents over 60 inches and $6 over 24 inches. The estimated true widths of these intersections would be, he states, 18, 44 and 18 inches. In the case of the high assay, the split section of the core was checked at an independent assay laboâ€" ratory and returned $120.75. Egg prices are up since a wesk ago. Grade A large bring 50 cents now, and Grade A pyllets 35 cents a dozen. .‘ * Vegetable prices continue about the same with bunched stuff at 3 for 10 cents; cabbage 3 cents a pound or $2.50 | a hundredweight for the ordinaryi In variety and 5 cents a pound for the | § lon red kind. Celery is at 10 and 15 cents‘ flig a bunch. | 4 U.C Favourable Drill Results at the Bidgood Kirkland Stope sampling of the No. 5 vein on theâ€" 500â€"foot level »assayed $45.10â€" over 32 inches, $15.80 over 36 inches and $9.90 over 34 inches. A portion of the millfeed is being extracted from this section, Drifting on this vein shows inâ€" dications of improving in value as the drift is advanced. The last several feet of the drift assayeq $14.40 over 46 inches, $50.60 over 30 inches and $24.31 over 30 inches. Crosscutting on this level of late has resulted in three new veins being intersected. Market Good Here Despite Weather Two meat stalls have made their apâ€" pearance during the past couple of weeks and both seem to be doing a good business in freshlyâ€"slaughtored meat, Although beef predominates, a good variety is to be obtained. Despite snow and slush and rain, Timmins‘ outdoor market continues to attract prudent housewives. The canopy recently erected over the fronts of the market stalls in the ball park serve in keeping the ground underfoot dry. T‘wo Meat Stalls Did Good Business at Market on Tuesday of This Week. Sudbury Star:â€""I can say this, that no one in Canada has been allowed to go hungry, and everyone has beon proâ€" vided with shelter and clothing," deâ€" clares Hon. R. J. Manion. Most of the people would prefer work to shelter and sustenance. But the strange thing is that so many of those who have reâ€" ceived fooq and housing do not appreâ€" ciate it a bit. 301 TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3RD, 1935 Leglon Again Asks g for Shoes, Clothing Starting Again Their Generâ€" ous Work of Providing Help to Needy Families of Returned Men. For years past the Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion has been givâ€" ng notable assistancte to the families of returned soldiers who are in need. Clothmg has been supplied for chilâ€" dren so that they might attend school, and to adults so that they might be able to take work offered. This work by the â€"Legion has besnâ€"of benefit not only to the returned soldiers and their dependents but also indirectly to the community which has not been called upon for relief in these cases. The Legion wants to continue this good work this winter, and so makes its annual appeal to the people in genâ€" eral for any clothing of any kind that they may be able to give. Shoes in good shape will come in particularly acâ€" ceptable. So will underwear. Also suits, coats, pants, hats, overcoatsâ€"anything, indeed, in the clothing line. Clothing for women and children, as well as for men, will be gratefully accepted, so that there may be none of the returned men or their dependents to suffer need durâ€" ing the coming winter. Any articles of shoes or clothing that can be spared may be left at the Legion hall, Cedar street, or with the president, Austin Neame, Mines Rescue Station, at the rear of the fire hall, Ced ALY Woods Mis.

Police and Firemen Outline of Programme of Chautauquas Here Development work which has bseen proceeding since May, 1934 on the proâ€" perty of Matachewan Pioneer Syndiâ€" cate, in Matachewan, has now reached a point where the management feels justified in makinzg preparations for inzorporation and it has been decided to incorporate a company of 3,000,000 shares, $1 par. Holders of syndicate units are to receive 400 shares for each unit. The syndicate‘s property is located on the Montreal River within half a mile o¢f the town of Matachewan. The work carried on for the past 16 months has consisted of surface prospecting, trenching and the sinking of a shaft to a depth of 50 feet, at which depth a crosscut has been carried for a length of upwards of 40 feet. Sampling over the shaft and crosscut is said to have indicated substantial ore indications which warrant a larger development programme than the funds of the synâ€" dicate can provide for. The Syndicate management has alâ€" ready been approached by financial interests with a view to taking over a substantial block of the new company‘s stock when incorporation is completed, it is stated. Series of Lectures and Training in St. John Amâ€" bulance Work Starts on Wednesday. Mz xX 3373 of the fire brigade and the polics department will begin a series of first aid lectures next Wednesday eveâ€" ning, October 9th, in the fire hall, it was announced Tuesday morning. The St. John Ambulance Corps is sponsoring the work and Dr. Kelly is to lecture every Wednesday for six conâ€" secutive weeks. At the end of the course all the firemen and police who wish to may try for their St. John Ambulance Corps badge, the mark of distinction for a man properly trained in the work. Pirst aid, the local protectors of life and property realize, can save many a life, Resuscitation alone, in cases of supposed drowning and electrocution may be brought into use often by both departments. Stopping blood flows, setâ€" ting limbs temporarily and placing splints for protection may often result in saving life or preventing loss of lim‘b. All these things and many more will be explained carefully and practice with the simple first aid kits supplied by the corps will be undertaken. Plays Featured This Year.
