Chief Hitch, of the Hollinger Police force, who was in the car with Cqnâ€" stable Hancock and Constable McGrail, of Pamour Mine, a second passenger, both swore that Houle was intoxicated. The latter officer said that he had to assist the accused from the ditch on to the roadway. also walked a line fifteen feet long without wavering and was able to pick up a coin from the floor the same as a sober man would. The doctor added, however, that when Houle was on his way from the Provincial Police office to his office, a distance of about forty feet down a hallway, that he had stagâ€" gered noticeably. He said in reply to Mr. Kester that he did not smell liquor off his breath. Dr, P. Wenger, of Timmins, who exâ€" amined Houle, told the court that in his opinion the accused was intoxicated at the time of the accident. He adâ€" mitted under cross examination by deâ€" fence counsel, Déean Kester, K.C., that the accused answered the questions he put to him slowly But intelligently. He Provincial Constable Hancock was the first witness called and told the court of finding a car upside down in the ditch near Pamour mine, with the ocâ€" cupants crawling out of the vehicle on to the roadway. ‘He swore that Houle, who admitted being the driver of the car, staggered and was thick of speech.

After inquiring from the manager of the office and finding that there: was nothing available that he might do, the 72â€"yearâ€"old applicant proceeded to the street outside. Picking up a stick of wood he commenced to tap on the winâ€" dow when suddenly there was a crash of shattered glass. A section of the window four feet by two feet had been smashed. Taken into custody by local police the man was lodged in the cells but later released without any charge being laid, in view of his age and other circumstances in the case.

It is the considered opinion of many people that numerous folk at present out of work are not honestly anxious to get employment but this idea reâ€" ceived an expressive jolt on Tuesday afternoon when an aged resident of Timmins visited the local employment office seeking a job of any kind.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25TH, 1937 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR Port Arthur Newsâ€"Chronicle:â€"Deciâ€". sion to postpone a visit to the Uni-ted' States became a news sensation almost | as great as a decision to give up a‘ throne. Both decisions were made necesâ€"| sary, it seems, by poor advice given‘ a man once famous for his tact and good judgment. What the Duke of Windsor seems to need more than anyâ€" thing else is better advisers. That® seems reasonable, too, to a Scotsman. Wouldn‘t it be awful to pay cut good money for a license, and then, perhaps, not even see a deer? The story from Wingham concludes: by saying that Scotsmen who like to go , hunting always locate the deer beforel they buy the license. M A Scotsman took a notion to go deer huniing. First he went to the bush and hunted around, and high and low, and hither, thither and yon, until he located a deer. Then he rushed back to town, and in a few minutes he was back again in the bush, this time with his gun and his license to hunt deer.

Those who intend to stand must have their names in before last mail today (Thursâ€" day), It is expected that the full list of those standing will be ready for mailâ€" ing by Monday and will be published in The Advance upon that date. An elecâ€" tion:â€"committee was also appointed to check the list of members and to count the returns. Election will be up to the next meeting Monday, December 20th, when the ballots will be counted. A very successful meeting closed with the National Anthem. Mention was maae regarding the mation of the South Porcupine branch of the Legion and a .meeting will be held in the town hall, South Porcupine, on Sunday at 3.00 p.m. for this purpose. All exâ€"servicemen from the Dome, Pamâ€" our, and South Porcupine are cordially invited to be present. A light lunch counter is to be inâ€" stalled in the club, with the usual bill of fare available. The matter of sending a delegate to Fort William for the Dominion convenâ€" tion was discussed and resulted in Ausâ€" tin Neame being selected to represent Timmins branch. ‘ The second was the sanction of a joint concert in January with the Ukrainian Prosvita Association in the New Empire theatre, with each organâ€" ization providing fifty per cent. of the talent. From this it is hoped to start a series of such concerts with the idea of fostering and helping the new Canaâ€" dians. s Committees reported and the stagette to be held on December 11th, will inâ€" "clude the ‘usual features, with turkeys; chickens and hams as prizes. Several members were reported sick and one in a very low condition. No word was available re P. Fraser, but Comrade Devine hoped for the best some time this week. Much discussion centred around the quarterly audit, but some very interestâ€" ing figures were shown. One item clearly showed that the Legion is still carrying along its relief work and the yearly average will be maintained, close to $1,000 being expended on reâ€" lief for the past nine months, Jan. to wept. A profit of over $300.00 was ‘secured from the Donkey ‘baseball | games. â€" Conklin Shows netted $1,000, ‘and the Legion draw also another $1,000. After reserving the major portion in the relief account, the branch paid off some of the building‘s indebtedness. | The Ontario Convention also took a large share of the money on hand. ‘The ; monthly statement was adopted and _showed a clear margin in the bank. The meeting then got right down to business and the first business dealt with was question of a radio for downâ€" stairs room. â€" Some members thought the club should have a good radio and the upstairs hall was the logical place with speaker in lower part. Others were not in favour of the radio idea. The outcome of the discussion was that the downstairs hall be redecorated and made attractive and no radio to be purchased. Correspondente included a letter from P. Macauley, now in Florida. He gave a graphic account of Armistice Day there and quoted "The Advance" for giving him theâ€" news of the brandch here. All were ordered fyled except the letter from Gen. A. Ross re Dominâ€" ion convention. The meeting opened with the singing of "O Canada," and honouring the dead with the solemn two minutes of silence. Austin Neame, president; occupied the chair, supported by the viceâ€"presidents, T. Parsons and A. Borland Sr. Minutes were read and adopted. ~Eight new apâ€" plications were read and four took the imnitiation ceremony and were welcomed into the branch. The hall was filled for the first time in many months and all present seemed sincere in their suggestions to make the Legion hall the rendezvous of all exâ€"servicemen. With the arrival of the fall season and with the marked enthusiasm of the members, there is no doubt that the Timmins branch, wishes to maintain its reputation as one of Canada‘s leadâ€" ing branches of the Canadian Legion, B.E.SL. This was very evident in the discussions and motions passed on Monâ€" day evening at the monthly general meeting in the Legion hall.
