English, social scences, health eduâ€" cation and business practice are to be compulsory subjects, and there will be a choice of five widely varied courses in Grade Ten, under the revised course of study, Hon. Duncan McArthur, deâ€" puty minister of education, told the pubile school department of the Onâ€" tario Education Association at Hart House, Toronto, on Tuesday of this week.

One feature of the revised course in all grades was a closer and more intimate integration of the work in history and geography. It was intended that these two subjects would be modified in grade six and that the introduction of the child to Canaâ€" d@‘ain history would ‘be through geoâ€" graphyâ€"through the history of explorâ€" ation and discovery and through the gecgraphy of the local community in â€"which the child resided. Wherever possible, the same teacher should preâ€" the work in both history and geoâ€" of the features of the new course. One of underlying principles in the new system of teaching general mathemaâ€" tics. he said, was the provision of a slow and gradual transition from arithmeâ€" tic to algebra.

A large attendance of parishioners and friends expressed their appreciation of the splendid programms provided and voted the Men‘s Club as filling a longâ€"felt want in the parish. Community singing started the eveâ€" ning. The president, Stan Fowler, acted as chairman and in a brief spsech outâ€" lined the aims and objects of the club. Rev. Canon.Cushing, the rector, and Geo. Gedge, secretaryâ€"treasurer of the club, also gave short spseches. Two very entertaining recitations by Mr. Lainsberry were much enjoyed. Miss Mae Habib and Canon Cushing gave a piano duet. # A beautiful Scotch dance by little Miss Yeats accompanied on the bagâ€" pipes by Piper McLellan, both in Highâ€" land dgress, was the next number. The highlight of the programme, a conjuring act by Tommy Nixon, mysâ€" tified all present, and proved that the closer one watched the less he or she One iof the Most Successful Events in the History of the Parish. Programme Reviewed. Two bass solos by Fred Taylor, a member of the club, were followed by two selections on an ordinary carpenâ€" ter‘s hand saw and violin bow by Mr. Geo. Welch, a guest artist who was thoroughly enjoyed. The last number was a soprano solo by Mrs. Jack Cousintine who responded with an equally pleasing encore. Refreshments served by the club members brought the evening to a close. The next reguilar meeting of the club will be held on Monday, April 27th, and it is hoped by the officers that more men of the parish will affiliate themâ€" selves with this live organization. WHAT IS A GALLON OF GAS BETWEEN FRIENDS THESE DAYS A young man rushed into a gasoline station and said: "A gallon of gasoline, please." The attendant said scornfully: "What are you trying to do, wean Turmins, Ont. thne eveâ€" er, acted ech outâ€" the club. tor, and r of the The aboveâ€"mentioned ore, proven to the end of the year would be sufficient to keep a 500â€"ton imill operating for four years; while the indicated ore would be enough to keep a 500â€"ton mill operating for upwards of eight years. Dealing with the mill, the report states it is hoped the mill, now being erected, will be brought into operation about the end of May or early June of this year. "The mill building." it adds, "is large enough for equipment capable of 1,000 tons daily capacity, but the equipment now being installed is designed for 500 tons daily. Doub!â€" ing of the capacity could therefore be reached by the expenditure of comâ€" paratively small amount of money on equipment; but considerably more deâ€" velopment of the mine must be perâ€" formed before any increase is decided upon." Eight Years of Ore Reported at Pamour ‘The annual report of Pamour Porcuâ€" pine Mines announces that, at the end of 1935, development underground on the 200â€"foot level had proved three ore sections aggregating 726,000 tons, averâ€" aging .246 ounce of gold per ton. That grade would be $8.61. From No. 2 shaft east of diamond drill hole 53, a disâ€" tance of 3,000 feet, ore indicated aggreâ€" gated 1,530,000 tons, averaging .261 ounce of gold per ton. That would grade $9.17. "In mining the above ore," the reâ€" port states, "there will, of course, be dilution with waste and lower grade ore, so the grade sent to the mill will be somewhat less than given above." Annual Report of Pamour Porcupine Mines Gives Some Interesting Inforâ€" mation. As to funds, all options on treasury stock have been exercised, with the result that the full 5,000,000 shares are outstanding. Of that number 1,500,000 went for the properties, while 3,500,000 were sold for $1,312,500. In addition to that amount, the company will reâ€" quire from $150,000 to $175,000 to bring the property into production and proâ€" vide working capital until returns from production come in. Arrangements have been made with Noranda Mines to borrow the amount required on a promissory note. Pamour holds an option on nine claims at the northeast corner of its property. Fayments have been made when falling due to date, and the claims wili be further explored. Two Ladies Stage Silent Battle at $1 Shoe Sale There was a bargain sale of shoes at an Ottawa store this week, the shoes being priced at $1 per pairâ€"if you could find your size and style. The ladies could, and did. Except two ladies. Unfortunately they picked the wrong pair for one of them, both of them p‘cking up a boot of the same pair. The shoes were fastened toâ€" gether, and that also was the effect of the attitude of the ladies. Each woman held on to her shoe of the pair. Neither would give up. There was no Solomon around to cut the string holding the pair of shoes toâ€" gether, and charge each of the ladies a dollar a shoe and boot them out. The salesgirl suggested the tossing of a coin to decide the lucky cwnership of the pair of shoes. "You‘re a heel!" sa‘id the one woman. "Shoo!" said the other. That meant "No!" for both of them. The manager of the store was called. He was an Oxford man, but he made them wait like Blucher did. When he reached the scene of the batâ€" tle of the two women, he was tongueâ€" tied. He refused to interfere, however. Another clerk, one with more polish, realizing that the shoes were half sold, tried his hand at patching up the disâ€" pute but he simply put his foot in it. "Don‘t come ‘buttin‘ in here," said the one lady, ‘"or I‘ll lace you one." He left hell for leather. At last one lady gave up. She dropped the shoe she held. The other lady, with an arch look, tiptoed her way to â€"the cashier‘s box. She was a vamp. All this is no kid. The two women had spent fully two hours battling for the boots. The manager of the store took it all in model way. "Women are like, that sometimes," he said, "but you nceedn‘t tell the wife I said so." To spend two hours overshoes at this time of year seems to be a solecism or something. That‘s all.

Re: Timminsâ€"South â€" Porcupineâ€" Pamouir Road and re the Perguson Highway. Dear Mr. Heenan: With further reference to my letter of the 30th March relative to the conâ€" dition of the main highway between Timmins and Pamour, I wish to advise that at the present time it is impossible for a motor car to travel on this highâ€" way other than in second gear and at a less than ten (10) miles per hour. Moreover, there is only the one road connection between these points. Where else in this province must a population in excess of thirtyâ€"five thousand (35,000) tolerate such road conditions? The FPerguson Highway throughout requires gravelling and reâ€"surfacing. Last year little or no fresh gravel was placed. thereon. It is true that the scrapers and graders were continuousâ€" ly used and kept the Highway in a fair state bruit still there aAre numerous stretches where the gravel and surfac? of the road has been entirely worn away and soft spots were numerous last fall. I think you will agree with me that there is sufficient traffic over and upon the above described highways to warâ€" rant a surface of Transâ€"Canada speciâ€" fications and they should be brought up to a standarq of main trunk roads withqut delay. Unless this is done they will go to pieces. The following letter referred to where in this issue explains itself:â€" In a letter dated August 9th, 1935, written by the Deputy â€" Minister, a statement is contained that the funds available for roag construction during that present year were very limited and I am informed that the appropriations for this current year have again been drastically cut. It would appear as though your Government‘s policy of strict economy in order to obtain a balanced budget is, in so far as it pertains to Northern Ontario, both unwise and nearsighted for the following reasons: (a) The capital already invested must be protected. (b) Further capital investments in Northern Ontario are justified. Even though a factory as a whole has been operating unprofitably, still, if one unit of such factory is producing handâ€" some returns there is every reason for enlarging that unit and by making the necessary capital expenditures required, even though this means further borâ€" rowing for such purpose. The growth and importance of the mining industry to not only the proâ€" vince but to the Dominion as a whole is well known and has been a lifesaver and appreciated quring these years of the depression. Therefore, this reasoning applies to the development of mining fields in Northern Ontario at the present time and in the next following years, patrâ€" ticularly as the price of gold is sO favourable. The amount appropriated last year for necessary road work for Northern Ontario was entirely inadequate and the geficit has to be made up. In addiâ€" tion, the proper and reasonable amount should ‘be spent this year. In conclusion, may I suggest for your earnest consideration the need for launching upon a very active program of road improvement, road development and road expansion and of the Goyvâ€" etnment‘s raising, by way of loan, the required millions to enable this to be done. Such an undertaking is merited and the money spent will be repaid to the province many times over together with interest in large measure during the next 20 yvears. There are a great many in the North who feel that the Government is disâ€" criminating against this hinterland and using it as a milch cow without feeding it properly. And as it produces milk and cream so abundantly it deserves good treatment and nourishment. All of which is respectfiully submitted. Yours truly, W. O. Langdon, President, Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade Ancillary letters of probate were apâ€" plieq for Saturday morning in the Surâ€" rogate Court of the District of Sudbury in the will of Thomas Edison, who died October 18, 1931. Edison had five pieces of land in Northern Ontario, four of them in Blezard township, three miles from Sudbury, and the other at Bay Lake, in the District of Temiskaming. The total value of the land was estimated at $5080. This land at one time looked promising for rich minerals. A probate of the will was granted at Edison‘s late home, West Orange, New Jersey, last year, with the signature of Governor Harold G. Hoffman, famous in the Hauptmann case, on the will guaranteeing that the ‘judge and court clerk who had handled the will really were bonaâ€"fide. George J.

April 16th, 1936 Charged with the attempted murder of his estranged wife and of two cooks employed in her cafe in Kirkland Lake on October 30 last, and also with robâ€" bing the restaurant cash register while armed, John Tornowsky Tuesday afterâ€" noon went on trial before Mr. Justice Makins and a jury at the Temiskamâ€" ing Spring assizes at Haileybury. A true bill had beem returned against accused last fall, but the case was traversed then owing to the inability of ithe wounded woman to testify. Attempted Murder Case at Haileybury This Week Evidence adduced Tuesday at Haileyâ€" bury by W. J. Scott, Crown prosecutor, disclosed how Tornowsky, brandishing a revolver, entered the restaurant and fired six shots, Mrs. Mary Tornowsky being wounded in the arm, chest and neck, and Fete Shumovack and Sam Sszack, the cooks, running out of the building when the shooting was in proâ€" gress. The Crown alleges Tornowsky stole i$10.80 from the register during the oneâ€"man raid on the cafe. Mrs. Tornowsky told the coaurt she Mrs. Tornowsky told the court shei had been married since March, 1928, after having known her husband for about two months, and that they had separated five years later. She claimâ€" ed her husband drank heavily and was quarrelsome and jealous, although a good chef and good worker when not drunk. Szack, a former roomer, denied there had been trouble between accusâ€" ed and himself over the woman, but to P. J. Knox, defence counsel, admitâ€" ted that three years ago Tornowsky had wanted him to keep away from the latter‘s wife. The grand jury returned a true bill against Claivid Hall, Kirkland Lake man charged with attempted bribery of a police officer. Addressing the grand jury, His Lordship congratulatâ€" ed the district on its absence from serious crime and strongly urged the jurocrs to make a thorough inspection of the district jail.
