Very little damage of any kind was reported, alâ€" though one thief took advantage of the evening to steal three length of pips from outside the new Dr. McInnis buildâ€" ing on Pine street. A few wagons were turned over, a few windows and cars were marked with soap and wax, but in the main, Timmins boys and girls limited themselves to the more popular sport of getting peogle to "shell out." Nearly everyone in town, including the mayor, councillors, mine officials, miners, merchants, professionâ€" al men, had laid in a supply of apples and candy for the â€"children.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND, 1936 Loses Life in Ore Bin at Mine Going down into the mill ore bin to clear away ore that had "hung up" the fsed, Roger Green, 28â€"yearâ€"old emâ€" ployes of the Coniaurum, was killed at that mine on Thursday night when the ore began to move suddenly and the safety rope Green had on him was too long to hold him above the tumbling ore, Althought he was in the ore not more than 20 minutes before a speedily workâ€" ing crew had him out, Green had died. The accident occurred on surface, and not underground as reported in some newspapers. The bin in which Green met his death was the one from which ore is fed to the mill. The young man had used a safety harness as prescribed by mine safety rules on the job, but it was tated by the mine that too much of the rope had been paid out and when the ore moved, Green was not held above its surface. An inquest will be held. The young man had been employed at Coniaurum since last July and was popular among his fellow workers. He had been born in Ottawa, and was well known and liked there. He was the son of the late Patrick F. Green, former well known Ottawa Labour leader, and Mrs. Grsen, who survives. In addition to his mother, he is survived by a sister, Mrs. Walsh, wife of Constable Thomas Walsh, of the Ottawa police departâ€" ment. The Friday end.

Most mail addressed to Mattagami Heights will go directly from the mail train to Mattagami Heights Post Office on Wilson avenue each day in future, it was learned here toâ€"day from Postâ€" master E. H. King. This will mean a greatly improved service for those who get their mail at Mattagami Heights and will probably make it possible to receive mail there from the afternoon train more quickly than at the larger Timmins office. Mail will also be sent directly from Mattaâ€" gami Heights to the southbound 2.25 p.m. train, giving those in that part of the town a better opportunity to post mail. In addition to those improvements, have been made for Postâ€" master A. Hubert of Mattagami Heights to collect mail at the Timmins post office consigned to the Wilson avenue salaries (exclusive of the Sisters, who in this term of years, returned to the hospital the $143.760.00 allotted as their salaries); $290,405.00 for other expendiâ€" tures; making a grand total of $571.â€" 522.00; which shows that the St. Mary‘s (Continued on Page Four) Sudbury, Kapuskasing and Cochrane were also included in Mr. Rowe‘s Norâ€" thern tour.
