By certain indications found round the heart of deceased it is accepted that Mr. Ross was taken with a sudden heart attack, which caused him to fall and strike his head on the pontoon of the airplane upon which he was workâ€" ing. As he fell into two feet of water while unconscious water entered> the lungs and caused his death. Mr. O. L. Evans was working with Ross on Tuesday evening and left at the usual hour to go home. Mr. Ross said he would finish up before leaving and climbed up to release the sling on wing of the Hollinger plane. As the sling was found partly released it is surmised that the attack came soon after Evans had left and the body was not discovered until next morning, when as Mr. Ross did not come to work aa message was sent to his home for him. It was then known that he had not been home all night, and search around the hangar was made and the tragedy discovered. South Porcupine, Aug. 6â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"Our most sincere symâ€" pathies are extended to the family of the:late Alex Ross whose tragic death of Wednesday is regretted by us all. A postmortem was performed on Wednesday afternoon by Doctors R. P. Smith and G. S. McKechnie who found that death was caused by drowning. Tribute is paid to the deceased by men who have worked with him both here and in Montreal, that he was one of the best plane mechanics in Canade. Before coming to South Porcupine three years ago he worked with the Canaâ€" dian Airways in Montreal and Ottawas. A service was held in Hunkin‘s Funâ€" eral Parlors on Friday afternoon at 1.30 pm., conducted by Archdeacon Woodâ€" all and Dr. Fraser (who is back in South Porcupine for a few days) and attended by the airport officials, his friends and sympathizing neighbours. The body, in charge of his son, Gordon, (aged 233), the only one of his family in town, left on the 2 p.m. train for Oitawa where interment takes place on Sunday. The sad part ‘of the affair is that Mrs. Ross and her two daughters were in Montreal on holiday when it hapâ€" pered. They are not returning immeâ€" diately to South Porcupine going from Montreal to Ottawa to attend the funâ€" eral. Although the Schumacher Lionsl club Community Swimming Pool has been in active and happy use for sev-' eral weeks by the children of the comâ€" munity, the official opening has been deferred until Wednensday evening of this week, Aug 10th, so that tthe occaâ€" sion may be fittingly observed by a programme that will be one of outâ€" standing interest and variety. The new swimming pool at Schumacher is' one of the most modern and desirable types of community swimming pool and it has been a very decided acquisition to the community.

In view of the popuâ€" larity of the Schumacher Community | Swimming Pool it is only fitting that its | official opening should be made a very | special occasion. The Schumacher; Lions were the leaders in securing this notable benefit for the community and | at the official opening of the pool on Wednesday night, Aug. 10th, they are| marking the occasion by a programmel of special excellence. This programme | will commence at 7.30 pm. The Boys‘ Band will be in attendance and this will add materially to the interest j and pleasure ‘of the evening. Th.erei will be swimming and diving events under flood lights, with valuable prizes. An invitation meet between Cochrane and Schumacher swimmers| and divers is planned to add to the inâ€" [ I terest. A special feature that is likely | to rouse especial interest is the bathâ€" | ing beauy contest. This is open to girls | of seventeen years of age and over. Entries for this event should be made to , Dr. Weston, Schumacher,. There are also valuable prizes to be given in this | bathlng beauty contest. There is to be dancing after the swimming events, so that the evening should prove a long as | well as a pleasant one.

Vandals At Station Park During the band concert last night at the station park on Spruce streat, young vandals, some of the age of 15 years and some as old as eighteen had what they seemed to consider a fine time by swinging on the trees and jumping on the flower beds in the park. Their antics not only interfered with the enjoyment of more sedate folks in the band concert, but also did damage to the flowers and trees. A despatch from Cochrane last week told of how a man broke into a C.N.R. station in the Hearst district. The staâ€" tion is ccecupied by a section man and his family. The man was warned that he could not get into the building, but later smashed in the door and gained admitiance to the living room of the family occupying the station. When brought before Magistrate E. R. Tuckâ€" er at Hearst police court, the man, givâ€" ing the>‘name of Alfred Lemieux, was sentenced to two months in Jail. The late Mr. Ross was in good health previous to this attack, which was the first known to his family, was a most respected citizens, and a sober and inâ€" dustrious man.

Report of Plans For Straightening Highway No Official Confirmation but Report Follows Stopping of Work on Road in Shillington Area. Proposed New Line Would Reduce Distance Between Timmins and Swasâ€" tika to Sixtyâ€"Odd Miles. A report that is, however, without official confirmation, suggests that plans are under way for the building of practically a straight line highway from Timmins to Swastika, the disâ€" tance between the two centres thus to te reduced to about 62 or 64 miles. The reccnt stoppage of work on the short cut through Shillington is considered in the report as being due to. the more cxtended plans for a straightâ€"line highâ€" way from Porcupine. According to the reports, this straightâ€"line highway | would pass through Matachewan or near that camp, and so would make easy and economical the constrluction of the muchâ€"needed road to Sudbury, thus providing the North with an alâ€" ternate route to the South. This would mean a very decided increase in the tourist traffic here and would be an excellent investment. With a paved highway to the North, the alternate route is all that is needed to make this area popular for tourists. While offiâ€" cial confirmation of the report has not been obtained, there is much reason accordinz to wellâ€"informed circles to believe that there may be much in the neport.
