Gold was struck and the line finally went to Cochrane with a branch to South Porcupine and finally to Timâ€" mirs. There was an apology for a road built from North Bay to Swastika over the road the farmers had already made th2 foundation. Fressure was put on the government for a trunk road to Cochrane and Timâ€" mins and The Advance deserves a lot of credit in its support of the public for such a road that was finally made â€"yes, just before an election, in which the Ferguson government was returned to power. But that road was neglected afterwards. The settlers made the roads; the government improved them where the iighway was to go, but what did the other settlers get? Nothing!

The evant, known as the "Mothers‘ and Daughters‘ Bangduet" was a very enjoyâ€" able one, a large number of the members and their guests being present. The South Porcupine Lodge had been inâ€" vited to attend, and due to the success of the evening, it is the wish of the members to make this an annual affair. A delicious supper was served by the ladies, after which the programme for the evening was presented. A dance number was given by Miss Jean McChesney. Delightful Event by Rebekah Lodge Miss Evelyn Flowers proposed the very â€"appropriate ‘Toast To Our Mothers," to which Mrs. Cameron of St. Maurice Lodge, No. 85, of Sherâ€" brooke, Nova Scotia made a fitting resâ€" ponse. Little Miss Barbara Mayâ€"sang the pretty selection ‘"Yes, Mother," which was followed by the monuments and history of the Rebelkah degree given by Mrs. Harry Lang and Mrs. Webb, who also made reference to the Oddfellows‘ Home on the Hill, in Toronto. Miss Isobel Flowers gave a pretty dance number, and Mrs. Stanlake sang a very p‘leasing solo selection. The speaker of the evening, Sister Mrs. Cornthwaite of the Salvation Army who was a member of the Gold Nugget Lodge in the past when residing here, made a very inspiring address, which gave much to be thought about to those who were present. Mrs. Worthington then sang very beautifully two solo numbers, one of which was ‘"Dannyv Bov." The enjoyable evening was concluded with the singing of "Old Lang Syne" and every member and guest was sorry to have it end.

It will be recalled in regard to the atove that some time ago, recognizing the need for more adequate hospital acâ€" \ commodation for the eastern part of | the Porcupine area, public spirited citiâ€" zens of South Porcupine and district made generous contribution to the large iexpenditure necessary to build a new ;and modern hospital at South Porcuâ€" pine. The mines gave the venture the | most generous support. Even with this | coâ€"operation, however, it was a big conâ€" |tract that had thus been assumed by the people of the eastern part of the Porcupine camp. The assistance from |\ the government accordingly comes at a | most opportune time and has the effect of encouraging all as well as assisting directly, The contribution by the govâ€" ; ernment is simply in line with its policy lof encouraging complete hospilalization 'facilities for the province and showing ! sympathetic help to the comfort of the i people of the North as well as material | progress of the country. The classes for Neéew Canadians conâ€" ducted so successfully and with such valuable results last season have again reâ€"opened in the Central public school, Timmins. These classes are designed to afford new Canadians opportunity to ! perfect their knowledge and use of the English language and to increase their acquaintance with British and Canadian forms of government, customs and usages. In short the idea is to assist the New Canadians in their ambition to be the best kind of Canadians, The classes are again lunder the direction of Mr. Transom and Mr. Kostel. who carâ€" ried them on so efficiently last season. All New Canadians who wish to increase their acquaintance with the English ‘language and enlarge their circle of Canadianism; should get in touch with ‘IMr. Kostel or Mr. Transom. The zclasses are held each evening at the ‘Central Public School Timmins, comâ€" mencing at 7.30 To J. H. Stovel Dome Mines. Government will contribute ten thouâ€" sand dollars to building programme Ssouth Porcupine General Hospital and appreciates publicâ€"spirited generosity of local interests.
