Wedding Event at St. Anthony‘s Church Yesterday Morning A charming wedding was solemnized at the St. Anthony‘s Roman Catholic church on Wednesday morning at 9.15 o‘clock, when the Rev. Fr.

Rowden, Reâ€"elected Mayor of Cobalt. Wm. Martin Reeve of Coleman. The letter pointed out that at the last meeting of the sessions of the church on November 21, "It was brought to our attention by the members of our conâ€" gregation that on several occasions when they were present at your theatre a very low type of vaudeville was presented." The writer of the letter named hotels, restaurants and stores where girls worked for wages varying from $22.50 a month to $8 a week. "CGive them a chance to feel like huâ€" mans, erase that inferiority : complex and let them live like people ought to live, clean, respected, decent," it conâ€" cluded. The letter was ordered forwarded to the Minimum Wage Inspector at Hailâ€" eybury. He will be asked to look into the matter. The letter was signed by Mr. W. M. Mustard, United Church Minister, and Mr. J. M. Gordon, Clerk of the Sesâ€" sions. x "Protect Working Girls" An unsigned letter to the Council, which was referred to the Police Comâ€" mission, was read. It asked town byâ€" laws to protect the working girls of Timmins and ensure them decent wages. "You sit back," read the letter, "and criticize them, class them as being cheap and vulgar because they mostly have to depend on their bodies as a means of a living. It‘s low and deâ€" grading but has there ever been anyâ€" thing done to prevent the cause of it?" There was very little discussion of the matter at the police commission meeting. Magistrate Atkinson felt that, if the matter referred to in the letter was true, police should inspect the shows before they were presented; if it was not it could do on harm to have police investigate. The resolution followed the reading of a copy of a letter from the Timmins United Church to the manager of a local theatre. A copy was ordered sent to the Police Commission. The letter read, in part: "After due deliberation it was unanimously reâ€" solved that the session of this church protest azainst the low type of vaudeâ€" ville that is presented at your theatre at various times; vaudeville that is obâ€" jectionable to adults and demoralizing to youth." Police to Inspect Stage Shows in Local Theatres In future all stage shows and vaudeâ€" vÂ¥ille acts which come to the Town of Timmins will be inspected and apâ€" proved by representatives of the police department before they are shown to the general public. So ruled the Police Commission on Tuesday evening at its regular monthly meeting. Letter from United Church Complains V audeville of Low, Degrading Type Being Shown in Theatre Here.

PAE TWO (Haileybury Couple Celebrate Fifty Y ears Married Life Now that, as everybody in North Bay knows, was cruel and brutal. North Bay differs from Toronto only in size, and mere size in cities is more or less ACâ€" cidental. It is true there are back conâ€" cessions in the neighborhood, but so are there back concessions in York county â€" and back streets even in Toâ€" ronto that never would take any prizes for either beauty or culture. North Bay moreover, is only some 15 miles from Callander, much nearer than Toronto, and Callander is the place to which Americans and Canadians in the hunâ€" dreds of thousands go. At least in the mind of the tourist trade the Dionne nursery is the centre of Ontario, and as you move away you get into the belt of back concessions. This measure of fame reduces Toronto to its proper place in the picture, and‘elevates North Bay accordingly. Certainly the Star was at fault, but we should not hold the North Bay stuâ€" dents free from blame for the incident. They shoukin‘t have gone to Toronto at allâ€"they should have come to Otâ€" (From Ottawa Journal) A number of students in North Bay Collegiate have a grievance and they write about it to the Toronto papers in tones of injured dignity. It seems a group of 93 boys and girls from that school visited Toronto recently bent on pleasure and education, and they were welcomed and entertained. They visited points ofâ€"interest, saw the tall buildings, were properly impressed by it all. And then the Star came out and spoiled everything. The Star noted the presence of the North Bay visitors, remarked in the true note of Torontonâ€" ia superiority that most of them came "from the back concessions of Northern Ontario." Thinks North Bay Students Erred in Going to Toronto The family have made their home in Haileybury since 1908, coming north from Sturgeon Falls, where Mr. Suthâ€" erland, a carpenter by trade, had held a responsible position in the paper mills and had worked at one time as chief carpenter for a dollar and twenty cents per day. Securing a contract from the T. N. Q. Railway for the construction of three stations and five sectionmen‘s houses between Haileyâ€" bury and North Bay, he made his headâ€" quarters at Haileybury 31 years ago and the family has continued to call this town home since then. Mr. Sutherâ€" land was engaged at different times as mine carpenter in Cobalt and other camps, chiefly in the construction of mills, and for the past six years he has held his present position at the Stadaâ€" cona mine. people are of Scottishâ€"Irish descent. The officiating minister was the Rev. Duncan Cummings, of the Methodist church, and the attendants were the bridegroom‘s sister Alice and the bride‘s brother, William John Sharpe, still living in the, old home section. The bridesmaid, who became Mrs. Alâ€" bert E. Wiggins, died in Toronto about 25 years ago. Mr. and Mrs. George Sutherâ€" land Have Sons and Daughters in the Porcuâ€" pine. Haileybury, Dec. 7.â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"The parents of a large family now scattered throughout Norâ€" thern Ontario, and in whose ranks are included some wellâ€"known citizens of the Porcupine and Kirkland Lake minâ€" ing camps, this week were guests of honour at their home in Haileéeybury as Mr. and Mrs. George Sutherland, Sr., completed fifty years of married life. For the celebration of their goldâ€" en wedding day, the couple had with them some of their children and other relatives, and they came to the happy occasion themselves in the best of health. Mr. Sutherland, who is masâ€" ter carpenter at the Stadacona mine in the Quebec mining. field, is now in his 74th year, and his wife, whose maiden name was Mary Sharpe, has passed her 69th milestone. The couple have had twelve children and sons and three daughters are living. The twelfth, the late Gerâ€" vais Sutherland, was a victim of the Haileybury fire disaster of October 4, 1822, losing his life in the exercise of his duty as a member of the town‘s fire brigade. Of the others, James D. and William are at the McIntyre mine, and Earl is at the Dome, while Mrs. Roy Lafferty lives in Schumacher; George Jr., and Gerald are in Kirkland Lake:; Keneth and Mrs. E. Carmichael live at Falconbridge, and Duncan, who is the wellâ€"known NOH.A. official, pouglas and Mrs. Percy Grozelle make their home in Haileybury. Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland were marâ€" ried on December 4, 1889, at the home of the latter‘s parents, Mr. and «Myrs. James Sharpe, of Gratton township. in Renfrew county. The family were among the pioneer settlers of that part of Ontario, a distinction shared by the groom‘s forbears, who lived in the Micksburg area. Mr. Sutherland is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Sutherâ€" land, and the name suggests their Highland ancestry. while his wile‘s tawa if they felt the need of new horizons. Here the curious Canadian will find more things of interest than he can discover in Torentoâ€"including a football team which trampled the famous Argonauts into the mud. And the Toronto papers in their time have said so many critical things about Otâ€" tawa that we can sympathize with North Bay students. These things used to hurtâ€"until we realized they were inspired by jealcusy. North Bay wili be more tolerant when it learns not to take Toronto seriously. Ring: Theftâ€"60 Days William Kovalchuck pleaded guilty to the theft of a diamond ring worth $50 after much consideration, Police said that Peter Stonyck, with whom Kovalchuck was rooming, told them that his ring had been stolen in Novâ€" ember. Recently it was recovered at an address on Second Avenue,. Kovalâ€" Mrs. Stringer said, regarding the assault, that Ivansech had a mark on his face, Asked if he had been marked, Mr. Valee said:; "No, I fiixed him." is wife then interrupted with the remark "You talk too much." Mrs. Mary Vallee, wife of the comâ€" plainant in the damage case, D. Vallee, was the first witness,. She said that she heard a man coming along the lane at the rear of her home one night, He was talking to himself "as he always does." The next thing she heard was the crash of brsaking glass. He had smashed a window at the rear of her house, she alleged. She rushed out in time to see Ivansech leaving. Mr. Vallee told of the assault, Ivanâ€" sech came over to him on the street and struck him on the face, he said. He denied that he had, for some time, been threatening to "fix‘" the accused. Ivansech just ran over to him, yelled, "Where‘s my Sadie"? and struck him. A daughter of Mrs. Vallee, Mrs. Stringer, was a witness for the defence. Asked if Mrs. Vallee was her mother, Mrs. Stringer said, "She is supposed to be, She brought me up here for Martin. At that time they thought that he was the best man in Timmins." Mrs. Stringer admitted that the antiâ€" pathy between her and her mother was the basis of the disagreement between the two households. The Villeneuve family was driven out of the home after the fire got under way. Mrs. Villeneuve said that she saw the paper starting to smoke and blaze from the pipes. She ran to it with a blanket but her efforts to smother the flames were futile and beâ€" fore long the whole interior of the home was a mass of flame. Left to mourn his loss are his wife, of 67 Cameron Street, north, and three daughters, Mrs. George Luopa, of 67 Cameron Street, north, Miss Mandi Kivi, a resident of Timmins but having spent the past few months visiting reâ€" latives in New York City, and one daughter in Finland. Miss M. Kivi is returning to Timmins, having been notified of the illness and death of her father. To the bereaved family, their many friends offer their sincere symâ€" pathy.

Villeneuve at the rear of 105 Avenue Road this morning. Firemen were called on Monday at noon to 44 Kirby Avenue where there was a chimney fire. Another chimney fire call was received on Wednesday at 12.33 pm. from 113 Pine Street, north, and a second on Wednesay to 82 Maple Street, south, also for a chimney. Death Yesterday of Mr. Matti Kivi Here Many Years Two charges, one of wilful destrucâ€" tion of property and another of comâ€" mon assault, against Martin Ivansech, were dismissed oh Tuesday afternoon in police court by Magistrate Atkinson. Funeral service will be held on Satâ€" urday afternoon at 3 o‘clock, at the Harmony hall, for the late Mr. Matti Kivi, who passed away at St. Mary‘s Hospital on Wednesday morning, after an illness that lasted for several weeks. Dismiss Charges of Wilful Damage and Common Assault Dismissing the charges Magistrate Atkinson said that he thought a $10 fine Ivansech paid a a previous court hearing for being drunk was punishâ€" ment enough for all three accusations.

Of that amount the contents of the building, worth about $300 were not insured. The late Mr. Kivi was born in Finâ€" land, and was fiftyâ€"four years old. He had come to Canada in 1920, and spent the last eighteen years as a resident of Timmins.

The organization‘s twentyâ€"fifth anniversary number contained, he said, an article in which its readers were exhorted to take up arms in case of war against Russia in defense of the Soviet Union.
