During the pas-t twelve months full page advertisements (usually on front or back page) have appeared in all leading daily newspapers of Fin- land. and in all pen’odicals. magazines. etc.. re: opportunities for learning the English language. by Lingua-phone. at schools. by special classes. correspond- ence schools, etc. And the response has been phenomenal. The Prime Minister of Finland. Dr. Cajander. in his speech on the foreign policy of Fin- land. Sept. 9th. touched also the future of language question in these words: “He emphasized especially the work of co-operation of Finland and the Scandinavian countries in foreign policy. and laid special emphasis on the need that Finland must in greater measure than before direct her eyes toward the old democracies of England and France. and therefore the langu- ages of the: 2 countries should be learn- ed; to enable us to derive benefit from the civilization. educatian left and economical relationships with them." "Likewise Finland has full reason to cultivate relationships with America." Some pupils of the English language school at Timmins and South Porcu- pine have also received letters from their relatives and former neighbours living in farming mmmunities in Fin- landâ€"and written in English-and they had to get somebody to translate these letters for them. These miners would not be put to shame by their relatives and friends living in Finland. and went to school. so they too can write to their relatives and former neighbours in the cultivate relation Some pupils of school at Timml pine have also their relutim a: living in fanmng and simultaneously with the English classes. Several Anglo-Saxon people have already registered for these classes Saturday. October 15th. is to be the annual Apple Day under the auspices of the Timmins Boy Scouts.

Owing to the fact that a suitable theatre can not be secured for the series of concerts planned for this season un- der the auspices of the Porcupine Canadian Concert Association. and also because of the discouraging results in connection with the campaign this year for members. the executive of the assoc- iation at a meeting held here recently decided that the Concert Association will not function here this season. Consequently the fees collected for this season’s tickets are to be returned. Anyone who has paid the fees for the 1938-39 season may secure return of the amount so paid by applying at the Bank of Commerce.

Smith. Cochrane. Advance 1 zraving). With the approach of Poppy Day, the Timmins branch of the Canadian Le- gion has begun its plans for a very vigo- rous campaign for 1938. A committee consisting of Austin Neame. chairman. A. Wetmore, F. Burt and W. A. Devinc was named for this purpose and held a meeting. at which an outline of action to be taken was discussed. It was de- cided to commence the canvass for Vet- craft wreaths as soon as possible and a. combined. meeting was held with volunteers for this work from the Ladies“ Auxiliary on Tuesday evening last. Mrs. Hardy. president of the Aux- iliary. has the districts all allotted and the ladies are now busy securing orders for Vet/craft products for Poppy Day. This year a special request from Poppy Committee headquarters in Toronto asks for all orders to be forwarded not later than October 15th and all organ- izations desiring a wreath to place on the cenotaph are particularly reminded of this fact. Mrs. E. Price has valun- teered to take the latter orders. A very attractive display will be placed in one of the local stores next week. Motorists are asked to secure a windshield suc- tion poppy. and there are also Poppy sprays and a very attractive bouton- niere. The lady canvassers are fully equipped with folders and will be in a position to fill your requirements. In previous years The Advance has given much space to assist the POppy Day campaign and the same will be the case this yrar. Reports of the progress of the campaign will be featured from time to time. as well as information in regard to the various features of the projects. This year the committee is asking al‘ merchants to increase their purchases of Vetcraft wreaths. both as to number and quality. so as to assist in making 1938 a banner year for Timmins.
