Bro. C. A. Byam, of New Liskeard, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Ontario, 1.0.O.F., paid his official visit to Timmins Lodge No. 459, 1.0.0.F. ten years ago. There was a large attendâ€" ance of the members of the lodge to greet the Grand Master, over 65 being present. After the work of the lodge, the Grand Master addressed the gather. ing on the work of the Order. The About thirty gathered at the meeting called for the fire hall ten years ago to organize for juvenile hockey in town. There was a general discussion on the desirability of having juvenile hockey organized in town, it being recognized by all that future hockey depended on the lads of today, and that the boys of the school should have opportunty for this healthy and wholesome sport. After the matter had been discussed, Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman made a motton that a jJuvenile hockey league be formed and that the orgarization decide later as to whether or not to apply for affiliation with the N.O.H.A. This moâ€" tion was seconded and carried unaniâ€" mouslv. vÂ¥P Ten years ago eight hundred special, address was an eloquent, and mspnmg grade turkeys were in trarsit from the| cne, and was much appreciated by the West for the big fifth annual Charity] local lodge.

The Rev. Kennedy on cpenirg the social said how proud he was to have such a gathering present, and he hoped that this sozial would be an inspiration to all present, this being the first social of its kind held in the church under such an organization. He congratulated the men, and hoped that their efforts would not be in vain. Mr. W. R. Sullivan was then introduced to the gathering as the president of the Men‘s Association. There was a good attendance at the second band concert for the season ten years ago, and the event was well enâ€" joyed. The chief feature of the evenâ€" ng was the music by the Timmins Citizens‘ Band, under the leadership of Bandmaster F. J. Wolno. The selecâ€" tions by the band were all attractive numbers and they were played in a very ceffective way. As usual, the marches were given with vim and efâ€" fectiveness and made particular appeal to many, march numbers being usualâ€" ly favourites here. Ten yvears ago a man paid his taxes amounting to something like $170.00. He handed in a roll of what appeared to be all ten dollar bills In the hurry of the day which was a busy one, the bills were hastily counted, and found to be seventeen in number, and so the change was made and the matter closâ€" attending, however, very evidently came to dance, and did not enter into the masquerade idea to any extent, there being only eight in costume. The cosâ€" tumes, however, were good, and the St. John Ambulance Brigade not only gave out six prizes promised, but they added two specials for the two young ladies in costume who had missed a place on the list of prize winners. At police court ten years ago, James Brown, alias George Harry Gurnsey, pleaded guilty to the charge of assaultâ€" ing a police officer, and was senterced by Magistrate Atkinson to two years less one day in the Ontario reformaâ€" tory. Gurnsey was a man who a couple of weeks previous to the sentence, when jlaced under arrest in connection with Narge of theft arising from the sale of armautomobile, suddenly turned and drawing. a bottle from his overcoat pocket smashed the officer on the side of the face and ran. Deputy Chief Orr finally stopped the fugitive by putting a bullet into his left heel. Gurnâ€" sey had been in the hospital with the wound until the court session. The bullet entered the bone, but was reâ€" moved without serious difficulty. The speaker at the Kiwanis luncheon ten years ago was Mr. J. W. Treleaven, principal of the Timmins High School, and his address was most interesting and informative. The large attendance of members present appreciated this excellent address very much. Mr. Treâ€" leaven sketched the history 0f [the Timmins high school from the time he came here four years before to the presâ€" ent. Four years previous to that time the high school had an enrolment of 49 pupils. All the accommodation comâ€" prised four rooms fitted up as temporâ€" ary quarters in the King‘s hall. Ten vears ago additions were made to the building which cost appreximately $175.000.00. Ten years ago T. N. O. workmen had been engaged for some weeks in building and making extensive alterâ€" ations at the Schumacher railway depot. The result was an upâ€"toâ€"date station for the accommodaition of the business men and travelling public. There was a good attendance at the masquerade dance given by the St. John Ambulance Brigade in the Hollinger Recreation hall ten years ago. All present had a very. good time. Those Ten years ago notices were sent out under the signature of Gen. V. S. Wilâ€" liams, commissioner of Provincial Police offering a reward of $500.00 for inforâ€" mation leading to the arrest and conâ€" viction of Archie Bochenko, for whom a warrant was held in connection with the murder of Nestor Bielik, Russian farmer, who was found lying dead in front of his home some seven miles from Cochrane on October 17th, 1927. so far as known Bielik was last seen alive on October 15th. Bochenko lived with Bielik, and Bochenko disappeared at the time of the death of Bielik. Provincial police had been searching the courtry for Bochenko but so far had been unsuccessful in finding him though reports were to the effect that he had been seen since the tragedy. He was believed to be hiding in the bush in Lamarch township or Mann township, or else to have perished from hunger or exposure in his efforts to evade arrest.
