It was approâ€" priate that the attending physician should be Dr. J. A. McInnis, president | of the Porcupine Piongers Association who sugzests that the first baby born this week should be given a prize in honour of the occasion, and so twin babies should get two prizes of double value each. There is some discussion and dispute as to the first baby born in Timminsâ€"even some question as to the first twins born here. Mr. and Mrs. Andy Roberts are credited by many with ‘ being the parents of the first twin boys born in Timmins. The first twin girls born in Timmins were born some twenâ€" tyâ€"five years ago and Dr. McInunis in that case was the attending physician So he has the distinction of attending the birth of the first twin girls in Timâ€" mins 25 iyvears ago, and the first twin boys born in Timmins this Silver Jubilee Week, which with the other honours won in Timmins and the Porcupine in his long residence and service in this camp, ‘should be enough honours for any man for this week. l Twin Boys Born Yesterday to Mr. and Mrs. Alphonse Marâ€" tell;> ; Dr. J.
