Rey. Canon Cushing pronounced the benedictian to bring the to a close. Those on the plat{orm were: Mayor J. P. Bartieman, who opened the serâ€" vice; Rev. E. Olendy, of the Russian Church:; Rev. Murray Tait, of Trinity United Church., Schumacher; Rev. Canon R. S. Cushing, of St. Matâ€" thew‘s Church; Rev. H. Siade, of the Baptist Church; Rabbi Linder, of the Timmins Synagogue; and Austin Neame, president of the Canadian Leâ€" gion. The Timmins Citizens‘ Band played the accompaniment for all the hymns and at the close of the service gave an extraordinarily good rendition of the "Deag March" in "Saul." Members of the Canadian â€" Legion Branch 88, a hundred and forty strong, ang wearing their distinctive berets, paraded to the theatre from the Leâ€" gion hall, and acted as ushers while the citizens of the town entered. The members of Royal Canadian Mounted the Timmins synagogue. Though only a comparatively small part of the gathering understood the language of Rabbi Linder‘s prayer he spoke it with such earnestness and expressiveness that the prayer seemed to speak to all. Rev. Mr. Tait in opening his address, remarked on the almost coâ€"incidental death of two great men and one great woman: Rudyarq Kipling, Dame Clara Butt, and King George. All had enâ€" riched our day, he said, Kipling in the arts of writing; Dame Clara Butt in the reaim of song, and the King as one of the world‘s truly great rulers. In Otlur Languages The singing of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," preceded a prayer delivered in Ukrainian by Father E. Olendy of the Russian â€" Orthodox Church; and a prayer in Hebrew by Rabbl Linder of The reading by Rev. H. Slade of the 20th to 49th verses of the 15th chapter of the First Epistle to the Corinthians contained the promise of a life to clearly and beautifully made. in Ages Past." Rev. Canon Cushing, who conducted the service at the Goldâ€" fields, offered prayers for King Edâ€" ward VIII anq for the sorrowing royal family. Psalm 90, particularly suitable for the solemn occasion, was read in responses. *"The days of our age are threescore years and ten; and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years; yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone." The King passed his seventieth birthday last June 3rd. At the Empire theatre, als> filled ’ to capacity by those who could not gain adimittance to the Goldflields, Major Hillier of the Salvation‘ Army was the chief speaker. He portraysd the King as a great Christian, a man who pracâ€" tised in his daily life the principles laid down by Christianity. His love of children and the many kindly acts toward them for which he was so well known were true guides to his nature. He quoted from the King‘s Christmas mersage, the last words the ruler spoke to his Empire as a whole. Prayer for New King Both services were opened with the singing of "God Save the King," folâ€" lowed by the hymn "O God Our Help \Impressive Tribute in _ | Timmins to King George The family life of the King was a beautiful thing, the speaker said, and was a model for the Empire. "If the homs falls, so does the Empire," he salid. t Strove for Peace The time immediately previous to the outbreak of war found His Majesty striving in the cause of peace, helping here, there and everywhere for a way Pout without bloodshed. When war was inevitable, he proved himself a fightâ€" ing King. With the Navy and with the Army, he often placed himself among the men, sharing their dangers. In the social upheaval in Englang of 1925, when the pslitical structure seemed to be on the verge of collapse, the King was the strong man of the country, who brought togsther the facâ€" tions that â€"appeared so widely separâ€" ated. _ The late King‘s place in history, from the perspective of 50 yeats hence, was Anterpreted at the Goldfields theatre by Rev,. Murray Tait, who delivered the main address of the day. Three great things in the life of King George stood out, the speaker said. Soon afâ€" ter ascending the throne, when the House of Commons passed a bill levyâ€" ing a higher tax on wealth, the House of Lords threateneg to throw it out. It was the King, pointing out that ho could create a new peerage, powerful enough to force the measure, who brought about a peaceful solution to the problem. With every nationality and every creed represented, Timmins people gathered more than two thousand strong at two local theatres on Tuesâ€" day at 11 o‘clock to attend memorial services for His late Majesty King George V. Impressive, simple and brie! were the proceedings, yet there was a real tribute in the services that came straight from the heart of the people.

The next dance of the Badminton Clnb will be Reld on Friday, Feb. 21st. Considerable anxiety was felt at the weskâ€"end in Kirkland Lake over the fact that Beatrice Pearson, usually called "Bunny," a girl 14 years of age, was missing from her home. She was first missed on Friday afternoon and later the police were informed. The provincial police were eventually sucâ€" cessful in locating the girl after a very careful and anxious search. She was not discovered until Monday evening, more than two full days after her disâ€" appearance. When she was ii was discovered that from the girl‘s own viewpoint she had nct been missing at all. Instead she had been visiting relatives in Kirkland Lake, but had not notified her parents of this fact. As a consequence the parents were very naturally anxious when she failed to put in an appearance. The anxiety was increased by the fact that on Friday at ‘ Kirklang Lake there was a blizzard raging and there was grave fear thai she might have perished in the storm. There were many trying moments for the parents, police and friends, as ons after another thsory was suggested as to the girl‘s whereabouts. Mcst of these suggested a sad and undesirable fate for the girl. The girl left school on Priday afternoon to walk home as usual to her home on the Goodfish road, a little north of the town. | BADMINTON CLUB DANCE TO BE HELD FRIDAY, FEB. 218T A brief closing address was given by Reyv, Bruce Millar, who also pronounced the benediction after a minute‘s silence haq bsen observed. Kirkland Girl Thought to be Missing, Only Visiting Rev. Father Pascari of the Roumanâ€" lian Orthodox Church gave a prayer in the Roumanian language. Rabbi Goodman of the Timmins synagogue offered a prayer in Hedrew, translating it afterwards into English, Major Hillier, who delivered the adâ€" dress for the occasion, reminded the people that they were gathered in comâ€" mon with the rest of the people of the British Empire on the day of King George‘s funeral. He quoted from Longâ€" fellow‘s "Psalm of Life" before bringing his address to a close. Local â€" police directed the largs crowds in an excellent manner. so that there was no confusion. As soon as the Goldfields was filled, and that conâ€" dition was reached long befors the hour at which the service opened, citiâ€" zens were sent to the Empire theatre, where a similar service was held. At the Empire Revy. Bruce Millar of the Timmins United Church conducted the Empire theatre service before a gathering that Jammeq the building to the doors.

By that time the processing plant to put the products into marketable shape will also have been built and readied for production. The plant will be deâ€" signed along the lines of similar proâ€" cesses as used in the Cornwall district in England, where most of the kaolin is produced to supply the world‘s marâ€" kets. While the washing plant will only be in operation during the summer months, storage facilities will be proâ€" vided and shipments of all grades of raw, processed and semiâ€"processed maâ€" terials will be made at any time of the year. Production will therefore be on a yearly operation. The plans also call for the installation of a small unit for Falls of the lumbering railroad operated by Spruce Falls Power and Paper Co., according to The Northern Miner last week.

A number of: the drill holes penetrated through the fire clays, into the lower bed of silicaf sand and kaolin, and below the latter into white clays of exceptional high purity and quality, The depth of fire clays in some places exceeded 40 feet n thickness. The area drilled disclosedl | ; 10 e e e approximately a million tons of high class refractory clays, silica sand and kaolin. The refractory clays are classiâ€" fied as fire clays, ball clays, and filler clays, and are adaptable for the manuâ€" facture of all classes of refractory proâ€" ducts.

It is estimated that it will require three scasons‘ operation of the open pit, which will be widened out and enâ€" larged as to depth, before an attempt can be made to secure the valuable white clay lying beneath the silica sand and kaolin matrix, and during this period, an estimated tonnage cf apâ€" proximately 60,000 tons of materials will be processed and shipped to outside points. Should conditions in Canada had most to do with the investigation of the deposits, left Toronto last week for the property to resume operations. Since 1932, when the claims of the company were staked, considerable exâ€" ploration work has been carried on. In 1933 an outcrop of fire clay was traced along the river bank and suffiâ€" cient drilling was done to warrant sinkâ€" ing the shaft to a dspth of 30 feet. From this shaft fire tons of refracâ€" tory clays, silica sand and kaolin were taken out, and an exhaustive commerâ€" cial test was made, proving beyond any doubt that the fire clays were of a quality equal to the imported clays, and that commercial samples of standard sizes of fire brick, made angq burned, and silica brick made and burned, and tests run on the silica sand and kaolin, indicated that the quality of all the materials was sufficiently high to warâ€" rant the expending of further mone\«{ to prove the existence of a workable deposit of refractory materials.
