The petition was for sidewalks and sewers on the North Road from Polaris Road. When the usual technique Oof handling such a petition was suggested, which was to have it referred to the Board of Works tor consideration and however, about the government bearâ€" ing the whole cost of education. Mr. Spooner said that he and his colâ€" leagues presented figures to show that municipalities at the present time, were bearing a huze share of the cost of approval, Mayor Bartleman said: "Why |education and that in many English refer this matter to the Public Works? speaking countries the whole cost was Why not have the clerk prepare a byâ€" | borne by the government. law and we will submit it to the Muniâ€" : on enfi Record Number of \Patients at St Mary‘s cipal Board as we are required to do. The Municipal Board will, of course, turn it down, but we will have shown our goud intentions." Councillors seemed more or less apathetic to the business at hand and got through the routine as quickly as possible. "This is a new matter. Why should it not go through the ordinary channels?" asked Councillor Spooner, the only member of the gathering whose face will be seen at the Council table next year. The Mayor: "The people have shown that they want these outlying sections to have sewers and sidewalks. Let‘s comply with their wishes. The people won‘t seem to understand that the Municipal Board won‘t pass these things. This would be one way of showing them. I would.advocate that the next Council publish each refusal it gets from the Municipal Board. The criticism of us has been so great that Discussion of the procedure to be used in handling a petition for sewers in an outlying section of Timmins was one of the mildly interesting spots in an otherwise dull meeting of Council last night, Councillor Armstrong: "Most of the incoming Councillors have criticized us and indicate that they want these outâ€" lying sections to have.sewers and sideâ€" walks. They will understand better at this time next year how hard it is to get them." "Oh why all this talk? This work can‘t be done this year anyway so why prepare a byâ€"law to have it done and send it to the Municipal Board. It is only a matter of a month or so when the new Council will be preparing a list of projects. Why deal with this now and have it refused?" said Councillor McNeil. Spirited opposition to the admittedly futile move of sending the project to the Municipal Board for approval, proâ€" duced a reversion of feeling in the Mayor and Councillors and they agreed to defer the matter. I, for one, would like to have them understand and prove to them that we can‘t get all these things through the Municipal Board and obtain its apâ€" proval." â€""T really don‘t think many of them understood the procedure even," said the Mayor. Mayor Advises Sending Byâ€" law to Municipal Board. Meeting Last Night Dull. Would Make Voters Understand Council Has Its Troubles »pooner Reports | Councillor Spooner, who attended a meeting of the executive oi the Ontario Municipal Association and several of the cabinet ministers of the Ontario | government, gave his report last night.I Mr. Spooner said that he and the other members of the Association‘s exâ€" ecutive conferred with members of the cabinet for two and a half hours. One of the matters he brought up was the difficulty of collecting poll taxes under existing legislation. "I received a good hearing and the ministers were very interested in our difficulties in collecting the tax," said Councillor Spooner. "I believe that they will do their best to have existing legislation altered so as to make this tax easier to collect." Another resolution passed by the Timmins Council about which Mr. Spooner spoke was the obtaining of a greater share of the mines profit tax for northern municipalities, He said that he was not certain if his address would bear any fruit but he did know that the government officials seemed PAGE EIGHT GYPROC WOOL General Contractors LIMIT ED Building Materials Come in today and have us explain how simple it is to lay Gyproc Wool insulation aliove your ceiling joists and what a difâ€" ference it will make in warmth and comâ€" fort yet save you money on heating costs.

Cemetery Board Receives 40 Acre Tract from Town Mr. Spooner said that he and his colâ€" leagues presented figures to show that municipalities at the present time, were bearing a huze share of the cost of Record Number of Patients at St. Mary‘s Hospital Toâ€"day Among the ministers who were preâ€" sent, said Mr. Spooner, were Attorney General Hon. Gordon Conant, Minister of Public Welfare, Hon. Eric Cross and Minister of Education, Hon. Dr. Simpâ€" son. Speaking on the fact that northern municipalities were, in reality, subsiâ€" dizing privately owned industry by exempting mining buildings and equip» ment from taxation, Mr. Spooner came home with the belief that the cabinet ministers understood that northern municipalities, with their quick growth and increasing populations, had a hafd road to travel. There were one hundred and eleven patients at St. Mary‘s Hospital this Thursday) morning, which is a record. for the number of patients at the hosâ€" pital at one time. Among this number were two sets of twins, born a few days ago at the hospital, two boys and two girls. (Continued from Page One) success had not been attained. The Board claimed that it was entitled to the land. Did the Council realize that Father Theriault had gone ahead and had the land cleared and ploughed and that he even had a house built on it, asked Councillor Spooner. He had been given to understand that Father Theriault was given permission to use the land. Now, after St. Anthony‘s parish had done so much work on the tract it was being taken away. The Mayor said that he believed that the Board would be willing to divide the land with Father Theriault and that they could come to some amicable agreement. He was confident of that. The question was put. The motion passed and Councillor Spooner asked to have his dissenting vote recorded. Replies to Council A letter was received from Hon. Norman Hipel, Minister of _ Labour, ackncwledcing receipt of a resolution from the Council asking that married women whose husbands were employed be not allowed to occupy jobs single girls might have. interested in the problem the northern municipalities had in financing. The letter pointed out that it was the practice in the Ontario government that when a woman employee married she forfeited her job. Only married women whose husbands were totally inâ€" capacitated were employed. A letter from the Department of National Defence acknowledged receipt of a resolution from the Timmins Council asking that a mobile recruiting unit be brought to Timmins. The reâ€" solution would be placed before the proper authorities, the letter said. Jolliffe Resigns Charles Jolliffe, who has been emâ€" ployed as Morality Officer for the Town of Timmins, sent his;resignation in to the Council. He was leaving to resumeé his former position in Toronto, he said. By resolution the Council ordered that Mr. Jolliffe be paid the sum of $187 in lieu of notice; that he be given a letter of recommendation and a letter thanking him for his valuable services to the Town of Timmins. : (Contnued from Pag» One ‘Blackmore, Betty MacDonaid, Seymour White, Ronald Turner, Jimmy Simpâ€" son, Shirley Brovender, Adelia Pelliâ€" gari, Gloria Crocci, Bernice Bridgeman, , Francis Stewart, Sophie DeSaverio, | Betty McInnis, Joyce Gonzalez, Vera !Heinonen, Judith Halperin, Catherine ‘Lucciantonia, Alleen Stickley, Lola Kyle, and Lillian Johnston.

Concert Last Night at Central School Best to Date As the boys hastily retreated, the girls appeared, and declared that since the audience had been welcomed, they would neverâ€"theâ€"less have the "last word." The girls were Ida Baster, Shirâ€" ley McLaren, Connie Stevens, Lena Moscarello, Beatrice Franklin, Shirley Aikin, Majory Mitchell, Jenny Pinciuc, Florence Carnovale, Dorothy Crockett, and Ena Jones. Directed by Marjory Mitchell, a group of boys and girls showed how to look when being shy, sorry, pleased, cold, hot, listening, calling, gossiping, thinkâ€" ing, affectionate, looking for someone, pleasantly surprised, telling secrets, and having fun. They were Chrisline Chalmers, Vera Polach, Barbara Lough, Helen Pavelko, Beth Moyer, Douglas Varley, Max Sherwood, Jimmy Boyc, John Seme, Donald Hindson, Herman Cox, Morley Baxter, and Harold Marâ€" tin. Seven boys, Rueben Utriainen, Jack Hayes, Harry Deyarmond, Mike Lesâ€" chuk, Harvey Scott, Billy Sharsley, Gerald Arscott, Bruno Marinig, Leo Potocny, Norman Prest, and Regis Mcâ€" Garry, appeared on the stage to tell the audience that for once the boys would say the words of welcome. An amusing happening took place when one of these daring fellows directed his friends by saying "Come on boys, all together." The Bunny Dance was given by stuâ€" dents of Grade 1, and opened with tiny bunnies stooping under evergreen trees. They were attired in full length cosâ€" tumes in shades of white, or pastels, with long flappy ears and short cotton bunny tails and danced with shett steps around the stage. The bunnies were Jimmy Sarafincean, Marguerita Groom, Joan Turner, Ronald Redden, Joyce Cassidy, Ruth Springham, Maxâ€" ine Armstrong, Kenneth Jacobs, Shirley Mitchell, Louise Griener. A chorus of grade 2 students sang two wellâ€"suited songs, "Jolly, Jolly Santa Claus" and "O, Christmas Tree," . in a free style that made a special hit ' with the audience. They were Diane Dunbar, Mary Gibson, Betty Rose, Helen Shirley Hansuld, Leone Platus, | Betty Johnson, Nellie James, Mavis Cambridge, Joan Lapointe, Margaret. Tanner, Victor Roberts, Billy Hanstke, Danny Shornys, Donald Blackmore, Michael Feldman. "The King‘s Break{ast" and "Old Zip Coon," were given in choral speaking by students of grade 3. Little Miss Agnes Smith was the conductor, leadâ€" ing the large chorus through the long poems. Betty ‘Coleman and John Baileck were the queen and the king, attired in royal satin robes; Mary Huckerby was the dairymaid, with pail and reâ€" quirements for her position; and Mary: Kulkula was the cow, in a full length brown costume, with a large cow head design covering her head. Characters in Old Zip Coon were Helen Skubinâ€" ski, Ken Somerville, Peter Arnott, and Don Horester, and the chorus was as follows: May Allen, Marjorie Black, June Blackmore, Joyce Cox, Julia Couâ€" las, Patricia Coulas, Airin Domagalski, Ken Elliot, Barbara Fleming, Doris Griener, Violet Hall, Ted Harting, Gerâ€" ald Hubert, Anrew Ilerskich, Zora Kezle, Norman Lillie, Donald McAra, Don McPhail, Nicholas Matymish, Jim Morgan, Billie Ormandy, Ann Phillips, Gwen Prince, Edwin Ranta, Sylvia Ranta, Beverly Shantz, Jack Shicds, Eda Slak, Francis Smith, Stan Straatâ€" man, Myrtle Thomson, Arnold Vinsa, Bernard Youlten, Marian Whittam and Lawrence Curick. "The Discovery of Metal" and "The Lake Dwellers" as written and dramaâ€" tized by the pupils of Grade 4, was one of the most interesting numbers on the programme, showing how the pupils understood their historical work, and had studied it thoroughly so that they might perform for the audiences a dramatization of days of long ago. "‘The Dissovery of Metal" takes place one evening in a forest of the early days. The stage was set with everâ€" green trees, and a painting at the back showing a lake and forest, with tigers, elephants and other wild aniâ€" mals stealthily prowling around the shadowy lanes. The boys who took part, Donald Black, Herbert Chulak, Donald Crockett, Tony Hut, Jimmy Jardine, Raymond Martin, Victor Priscbe, Kenâ€" neth Rodda, Herbert Schroeder, and Stephen Skreibec, wore wigs of coarse long hair, dresslike apparel of sackâ€" cloth and fur, rings in their noses and carried long spears. The dramatization showed that these men had learned to take advantage of a fire, instead of fearing it, and were cooking meat over an open camp fire. During the stene, they killed a tiger (one of their number being attired in a multiâ€"colored fullâ€"length costume, porâ€" traying a saberâ€"toothed tiger), and while the men cooked the meat they THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The scene was set in a forest, near the edge of a lake, with a crayon drawâ€" ing of a lake and trees at the back of the stage, and the girls wore the furred | costumes like the boys, although some of them had dresses of roughly woven cloth, showing the progress of civiliâ€" ‘zration. The girls were Diane Bound, Annie Buvala, Czdenka Cividini, Fern , Colbourne, Dorothy Devine Annie, Gasâ€" ‘paric, Lois Hogg, Annie Kosbick, Dorâ€" een Meredith, Mary Rostkowski, and Beverley Stiver. Jean Plaunt, Aili Salminen, Eva Salâ€" minen, and Hilkka FPilppula performed !remarkably well in a gymnastics disâ€" iplay, showing lithe bodies, and griceâ€" ful movements. They built pyramids, !and performed difficult twists and bending that brought loud applause |from a delighted auidence. | | 4 A musical play by the seniors was ; the final presentation on the program, 'ibeing one of the best prepared plays | and best performed to be given by the ~school. It was entitled "Thirty Minâ€" | utes with Stephen Foster," and a speaker gave a short outline of the great American composer‘s life, and the tragic cirecumstances of his death. | ~The scene was the home of Stephen _Foster‘s mother, where the coloured . maid, in a brightly coloured "mammy" ‘frock, with kerchief tied around her 'head, softly hummed the tune "I come : {from Alabama,‘" which her young masâ€" ter had composed. Stephen Foster‘s mother, a lovely old lady in a long ‘pink and blue frock, with oldâ€"fashioned lace frills, welcomed the guest, Jeannie, who was Stephen Foster‘s loved one. Jeannie had bsen especially well In presenting "The Lake Dwellers," the girls brought back scenes of the days of the end of the new stone age, showing that the women of that time had learned (in rough manner) to weave, make clay jars, sew (with bronze needle and linen thread), spin, culour, grind meal, and treat skins. made the further discovery that some rocks bore metal, which when heated in a fire and then allowed to cool, would make a useful product. A chorus of grade 7 pupils sang "The Ash Grove" with descant, and ‘"The Rain" with twoâ€"part harmony, and showed the progress they have made in the past few years in this work. They were Betty Anderson, Frances Anzelic, Daisy Bauman, Patricia Birrell, Nancy Carroll, Kay Connelly, Lillian Crawâ€" ford, Peony Demchuk, Olga Demchuk, Emily Drummond, June Gedge, Joyce Gonzalez, Judith Halperin, Vera Heinâ€" onen, Grace Homuth, Lillian Johnston, Lola Kyle, Margaret Lillie, Beatrice Loam, Catherine Lucciantonio, Phyllis McColeman, Betty Mcinnis, Kathleen Milne, Evelyn Morgan, Margaret Nagy, Florence Pearson, ®MAary Portlance, Alice Portlance, Elizabeth Rinn, Kathâ€" leen Rothwell, eJan Smith, Constance Sprinsham, Tileen Stickley, Lena Taâ€" levi, Isobe!
