L. Urquhart, manager of Eaton‘s Groceâ€" teria, motored to Kapuskasing on Sunâ€" day, accompanied by Mrs. Urquhart and daughter, Lois, and Miss Bernice Urquhart; aiso Mr. H. J. McDonald, The third annual picnic of the Timâ€" mins Citizens‘ Band was held ten years ago at Bayside Beach, Barber‘s Bay. There were over 100 present at the event, including members of the band, their families and friends. Although the day was unfavourable, a little light rain falling at different times during the day, the event was a very pleasant one and greatly enjoyed by all. Had the day been a pleasant one the picnic would have been ideal, as Bayside Beach proved a plac> of comfort and beauty. The beach was an excellent one for swimminmz and especially beautiful, and huts, tents, hall ond other convenâ€" liences made the place most attractive from the public standpoint. The spécial meeting of the Canadian Le:ion, Timmins Post. 88, which was held ten years ago â€"in the Oddfellows hall, was one of the most interesting held for some time, the chief business being the address of the president, Austin Neame. Prosident Neame, who recently returned from the Provincial Convention at St. Thomas, as delegate from the Timmins Post, gave a very exâ€" tended and detailed rsport of all the proceedings. He told how the people of St. Thomas went out of their way to make the cccasion a very memorable one. made. Dr. Porter, W. H. Pritchard and Firemen Smith, Stanley and Robinson. and cothers worked with the greatest skill and sarnestness to revive the spark of life. All efforts, howsever, were unavailing, the young man having been too long in the water. Bruises on the head suggested that the lad had struck against the logs, possibly as he fell into the water, and consequently that he might have been unconsclous from the time fell into the river. "A rather odd burglary or series of burglaries took place at an early hour on Sunday morning," said The Advance ten years ago, "when all the stores in the Rardessono block were entered, the Goldale Cafe being the only placc in the block to escape. About the time the burglaries are thought to have ocâ€" curred the Chinamen were scrubbing up the cafe ready for Sunday, so this explains why the Goldale escaped. One odd f:ature of the affair was the enterâ€" ing of a row of stores on the one ocâ€" casion. Another was the hour chosen, the time beinz after three o‘clock, in the morning and it being more or less light. Still another odd thing was the fact that practically nothing was taken. A few cigarettes and some candies were taken from the Rex Parlours, but apart from that nothing seemed to be missâ€" ing from any of the stores entered. Apâ€" parently the burglars sought cash, and in none of the places entered was there any cash left in tills or drawers." One of the features at the weekly luncheon of the Timmins Kiwanis Club ten years ago at the Empire Hot*#l was the report in regard to the successful Karnival held during the past week. The figures showed that the local club netted over $1,000 from the pleasing event, This money was spent for the welfare work of the Kiwanis, especially in regard to underprivilegeed children. There were several cases of need of assistance. A letter read at the lunâ€" cheon from Dr. Harrison mentioned two such cases. Reino Brandar, son of Mr. Brandar, foreman at the Hawk Lake Lumber Co., here lost his life ten years ago in the Mattagami river. The young man, who was only 15 years of age, though a particularly fine specimen of manâ€" hood, being nearly six feet tall and well proportioned, was at work on a drive of logs on the south side of the river not far from the bridge when he slipped beâ€" tween some logs and went down. This occurred shortly after noon and for a couple of hours frantic effort was made to rescue him. Dr. A. S. Porter kept up continuous diving and search for a considerable time, and the fire hall and police being ‘notified, Constable Craik brouwzht down Fireman W. Stanley, who was an expert diver and swimmer. "Happy‘‘ Woods also * voluntsered his very able services, while assistance in th> search was also given by Clair Severt.

Good drainage is essential and should be provided by incorporating coarse sravel, cinders or broken stone in the centre of the rockery well down toward the base, A very gentle slope or hillâ€" side affords an attractive site, or a rock retaining wall, but pleasing effects can be attained by utilizing, or building, a bank against a house or other artificial object and using boulders and weatherâ€" beaten stone at randum, burying them in the bank in irregular tiers so that about two thirds of them are exposed building them with sof:l between each rock so that they slope cently back from the base to the crown of the. rockery. Pockets and fissures should be filled with a rather rich soil, at lblzast oneâ€"fourth wellâ€"rotted manure, The whole idea is to build up the rocks informally and with soil between them. Any attempt at formal design will spoil the whole effect, but no stone should stand out too prominently and each should lie on its broadest side, When finished the garden showuld be pleasingly irregular to give it a natural appearance, the land sloping sufficientâ€" ly in every part to provide rapid drainâ€" age. The slopes should not be too steep in order to allow the rain to penetrate the soil. Many garden enthusiasts in this disâ€" trict are seriously consldering the posâ€" sibllity of turning a small portion of the space at their disposal into a rockâ€" ory. There are many desirable perenâ€" nials that can be planted satisfactorily only in a rock garden, and for rugged and picturesque beauty a small Alpine garden cannot be surpassed. Rock garâ€" dens require little fertilizing. Many plants that thrive best in this type of garden are more at home in poor soil than rich soil, and among them are various speties that may be classed amonz the most beautiful of haray fowers. Most rock plants are of frnee and graceful habit, producing long, slender, manyâ€"branching stems, literalâ€" ly smothered with tiny, marvelous flowers that spread over the bare patâ€" ches left by earlyâ€"flowering bulbs in a vivid carpet. Cushionlike plants proâ€" duce a mass effect of brilliant flowers in profusion, making the rockery an unexcelled picture in spring and sum» mer. ‘ Some Suggestions About Rock Gardens in Timmins (Contributed by Timmins Horticultural Society) Members of the Timmins Horticulâ€" tural Sociely intending to compete in the garden competitions should enter their gardens without fail before the twentyâ€"fourth of August. Any director or official of the society will be glad to accept entries, If you are unable to contact any of the officials send your entry to the secretary at 100 Sixth Avenue, Timmins. This message is inâ€" tended for the members of the juvenii? section no less than for the senior members, The gardens will be judged on Saturday, the 26th of August, and as neatness counts largely in a conâ€" testant‘s favor the garden should be trimmed. The edges of a lawn are most important. Ragged edges detract not only from the appearance of the lawn in particular; they spoil the genâ€" eral effect of the garden as a whole. This year we will be visited by a judge from Kapuskasinmz. Mr. J. P. S. Balâ€" lantyne has kindly offered his services, or, in the event of his being unable to attend the show, he will send a compeâ€" tent representative in his place.

(From Public Utilities,« Washington) In Germany on April 1, 1938, a pair of enterprising radio anncuncers deâ€" cidrd to kid their audiences in the proper spirit of the day. The Reich listeners were informed that a new invention was going. to be demonâ€" strated which would. not only sound but smell over the radlo "Now," said the radio announcer, "put your nose near the loud.speaker and see if you catch the scent of this lilac perfume." (Business of spraying . perfume pause.) "Next, try to catch the aroma of this delicious fried weinerwurst.".. (Business of making prOpevt.y noilse like weinerwurst sputtering m the fryâ€" ing pan.) So it went with the othex sound effects, Imagzine the announcers surprise, however, when the‘next day several letters came through the mail from listeners expressing, wonder and admiration at the new device and marâ€" velling that scents came through the radios perfectly. Believed that Odors Were Transmitted Over Radio Dominion assistance provided amounts to 100% of the real estate and school taxes levied on the new house for the first year in which it is taxed, 50% the second year, and 25% the "third year. This FPart is operative in those comâ€" munities which pass by~laws agreeing to coâ€"opsrate in encouraging construcâ€" tion by making a number of lots availâ€" able to prospective home owners at a ncminal price. It is not necessary, however, that the house be built on one of these lots in order for it to qualify for the tax payments, nor is it necesâ€" sary that the house be financed undet Part I of the National Housing Act, Part III of the National Housing Act provides in effect for tax assistance during a threeâ€"year period to persons who build for their own. occupation lowâ€"cost homes not exceeding a total cost of $4,000. Construction of the house must start between June 1, 1938, and December 31, 1940. The approval of byâ€"laws from these communities under Part IH â€"«of the National Housing Act should: not be confused with loaning operations under Part 1 of the. Act, under which part loans have now been made in mors than 330 communities. One hundred and fifteen commuhniâ€" ties have now qualified for the tax payâ€" ment benefits made available under Part III of the National Housing Act, according to a list of these communiâ€" ties made public this week by Honoutrâ€" able Charles A. Dunning, Minister of Finance, This is an increase of 27 as compared with a total of 88 shown in the last list released about the end of May. Communitiecs now fully qualified represent 32.5% of the total urban opâ€" ulaticon of Canada. To date some 52 additional municipalities have indiâ€" cated that they are interested in qualiâ€" fying, and requests to partitipate are being regularly. ..
