The Timmins Kiwanis Club held its regular weekly luncheon at the Empire hotel ten years ago, a good attendance being present and the prospects for the coming year being most encouraging. W. Rinn, president for 1929, handed over the conduct of the club to the new president, Karl Eyre. In his bpenâ€" ing address to the club, President Eyre referred to the good work accomplishâ€" ed by the 1929 president, and his referâ€" ence.s in this regard were of much genâ€" eral interest. The Ladies‘ Aid of the United Church neld its annual meeting for the elecâ€" tion of officers and other business ten years 2ago. The meeting as held at the home of Mrs. J. A. Howse, whose mothâ€" er, Mrs. Alexander, that day had reachâ€" ed her 80th birthday, For many yeatrs Mrs. Alexander was one of the most active and helpful of the working memâ€" bers of the Ladies‘ Aid, and on more than one cccasion had held the presidâ€" ing and other important offices in the society. At the meeting the members again honoured Mrs. Alexander and showed their appreciation for her good work and interest in the Ladies‘ Aid by electing her again as president of the socjety. Accordingly on her 80th birthâ€" day, Mrs. Alexander, who was as young as the average woman thirty years younger, tock up the duties as head of the Ladies‘® Aid for the year. RADIO REPAIR S The Timmins Boys‘ Athletic Assoâ€" clation met in the town hall ten years ago with the president, G. S. Lowe, in the chair. There was only a small atâ€" tendance at the meeting. It was decidâ€" ed to carry on Junior Hockey and to run Juvenil hockey in addition to the regular school leagues. There would be fourâ€"team Junior and Senior T.B.A.A. leagues that season. "‘Ten years ago, a man from McIntosh Springs, who was picked up on the street by Chief McLaughlan on warâ€" rants issued the previous summer charging him with the theft of a batâ€" téry and also escaping from custody, and who escaped from the chiecf after beirz placed under arrest, who was capâ€" tured again by Chief McLaughlan after a lively chase, pleaded guilty to the charge of the theft of a battery the previous summer and also to one charge of escaping from custody. He was sentenced to three months on each charge, the sentences to run conâ€" currently, so that he only had to serve the three months. The previous sumâ€" mer he was picked up at the station with a battery alleged to be stolen in his possession. He made a sudden dash for liberty and Succeeded in getting away in the twilight. Warrants were then issued for his arrest on charges of the th>ft of the battery and for essaping from custody. On Dec. 21st Chief McLaughlan picked him up on the strest, but passing a laneway the arrested man made a sudden dash for freedom, but the chief kept after him, and after chasing him for many and through lanes and yards, succeeded in reâ€"capturing him. After being reâ€" manded for a week he came up ten years ago in police court here for sentence, being given the term of three morths. The inaugural meeting of the Timâ€"| mins town council was held ten years ago with Mayor Geo. S. Drew and Counciliors A. G. Carson, R. Richardâ€"| son, Alfred Caron, C. P. Ramsay, Dr.} Lee Honey and J. T.

He felt sure that the 1930l council would work together for the| advantage of the town and that therei would be harmony and coâ€"operation in 1930 as in previous years. .

In the opening game of the Junior NOHA. at Iroquois Falls ten years ago, the Timmins Juniors won from Iroquo‘s Falls, the final score being 5 to 4. Troquois Falls had a classy team that season, but the Timmins lads keenly contested the match from the start and in the dying moments of the game went after the Iroquois Falls lads to such effect that victory came to the Timmins banner. The showing made by the Timmins lads in this opening game aroused much interest in junior hockey here. PAE EIGHT al items in The Adâ€" igo: "W. B. Nicholson, . was a visitor to Timâ€" "Dr. C. K.

Determined to break up this situation, the lawyer finds himself the object of the gang‘s attentions, and learns that most of the townspeople are afraid to oppose the ruffians. When a railroad decides to build a line through the disâ€" trict, matters come to a head, as the crocks seek to oust the homesteaders along the projected rightâ€"ofâ€"way and seize this valuable land for themselves. Unable to have the gang officially disbanded, as he hoped, the lawyer enâ€" lists the aid of the few citizens who are willing to fight for their rights. He is elected sheriff. What happens thereâ€" after makes for the exciting climax of the picture, with the determined young attorney waging a desperate gunâ€"battle against the mobâ€"leaders, as he strives to bring law and order to the comâ€" munity. The picture presents a real portrait of conditions that frequently existed in the early days of the West. Most Vigilante groups were composed of sinâ€" cere men who honestly tried to make their cities better places to live in. But there were other groups, such as the notorious "Hounds" of San Francisco, who were merely gangs of killers taking advantage of the esteem in which Vigilartes were generally held, to do their dirty work. And it is such a gang that is exposed in this offering. O‘Brien has a colorful role as the aggressive young lawyer, and Virginia Vale, who played opposite him in "The Marshal of Mesa City," is once more seen as the heroine. Norman Willis, Hugh Sothern, Herbert Heywood, Edâ€" win Waller, Billy Benedict, Monte Monâ€" tague and other wellâ€"known players are also in the cast of the picture. This ambitions young man makes his home in a Western town dominated by a gang of desperadoes who pose as honest Vigilantes, and who carry on their murder and robbery campaign under the cloak of keeping peace in the neighborhood. Mrs. C. P. Jones and daughter, of St. Thomas, Ont., were visitors to the camp over the weekâ€"end." "Bornâ€"In Timmins, on Friday, Jan. 3rd, 1980, to Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Burkeâ€"a son" "Mr. Rudoiph LaSalle left on Tuesday to resume his studies at college at Sudâ€" bury after the Christmas vacation." Dealing with one man‘s singleâ€"handâ€" ed fight against a mob of masked bandits in the era when railroads were coming to the West, George O‘Brien‘s new vehicle, "Legion of the Lawless," brings the western star in the role of a lawyer for the first time! According to a little postscript in the southeast corner of the editorial page of The Financial Post, R. S. McLaughâ€" lin has been telling his friends during the past week about his chauffeur‘s youngster. David Howard directed the producâ€" tion for RKO Radio. The screen play was written by Doris Schroeder from the original story by Berne Giler. Temptation to Tell This Boy the Truth About Santa Apparently Santa Claus was unusuâ€" ally good to the boy, but in spite of this the lad seemed not altogether happy about the Christmas situation. When someone asked him what was wrong he replied: "Santa Claus was awfully good to me but Mum and Dad weren‘t so hot." On the double feature programme at the Cartier theatre on Priday and Satâ€" urday, Jan. 12th and 13th, are two outâ€" standing filmsâ€"‘"‘Legion of the Liwâ€" less," and "Almost a Gentleman," the latter with James Ellison, Helen Woods and Robt. Kent. "Mr. and Mrs. H. Duff returned this week from a two weeks‘ visit to friends ard relatives in Kitchener, Toronto, Caledonia, and Oother points south." George O‘Brien as Gunâ€"fighting Lawyer at Cartier Theatre "Rev. Bruce Millar returned from his holiday visit to the companied by his bride, and "Mrs. T. M. White, of Kirkland Lake, spent the weekâ€"end the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Macdonâ€" ald." "Mrs, Walter Richardson and little daughter, Thais, left this week for Montreal, to visit her daughter, Mrs. Arthur Pinder, Claremount, Montreal."

Marlene sings to the cowboys and miners such tunes as "Little Jos," "You‘ve Gct That Look" and "The Boys in the Back Room.‘"‘ She cheerâ€" fully connives at crooked card games, dances the Virginia reel and makes _violent love to Stewart, and climaxes it | all by a fistâ€"fight with Una Merkel. The roughâ€"andâ€"tumble conflict is ‘undoubtedly the greatest feminine fistâ€" fight ever put on the screen, and is | destined to rank as the beâ€"skirted ‘counterpart of the great fight in ‘"The Spoilers." As the star entertainer in the Last Chance Saloon, Miss Dietrich has a role that marks a drastic change from her resent performances, but is in many respects similar to the memorable character she portrayed in "The Blue Angel," the picture that made her a star. Miss Dietrich‘s almost startling transformation features a picture noâ€" table in many other respects, chief among these being the presence of James Stewart one of the screen‘s foreâ€" most male stars, who plays the title role cpposite Marlene. Together they head what is probably the greatest supporting cast ever asâ€" sembled for a western epic type of picture. Such prominent favorites as Mischa Auer, Charles Winninger, Brian Donlevy, Irene Hervey, Una Merkel, Warren Hymer, Allen Jenkins, Samuel S. Hinds, Billy Gilbert and many others ars included in the list of players. Tribute To Producer The task of combining this important talent into a comedyâ€"drama filled with action and spectacle has been expertly dore by producer Joe iPasternak, the man responsible for all the Deanna Durbin and Gloria Jean successes. "Destry" was directed by George Marâ€" shall, a veteran of many great western pictures of the past. The scene near the end of the picture in which hundreds of the women in the town, armed with rollingâ€"pins, wreck the Last Chance saloon is another highâ€" light scene in a story that has exciteâ€" ment from start to finish. Ovtstanding Performances Stewart‘s work in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" is equalled if not surâ€" passed by his performance in "Destry Rides Again." Mischa ‘Auer, as a Russian ccwboy, Charles Winninger as the town drunk, Brian Donlevy as the domineering gambler, Una Merkel as the henpecking wife of Auer, and Irene Hervey as the winsome girl, are worthy of special mention. The picture itself is assuredly one of the most remarkable that has come from Hollywood this season. scording to critics and public alike it is a new Marlene Dietrich, vastly imâ€" proved and bearing little resemblance to her previous appearances, except in glamorous beauty, who appears in Universal‘s "Destry Rides Again," which will be the feature at the Palace Theâ€" atre on Friday, Friday midnight, and Saturday, Jan. 12th and 13th. The screenplay by Henty Myers, Felix Jackson and Gertrude Purcell is in keeping with the spirit of the film, and the photography of Hal Mohr is outâ€" standing.> Miss Dietrich‘s songs by Frank Loesser and Prederick Hollander are an important addition to the enterâ€" tainment, as is Charles Previn‘s musical direction.

At one time scurvy was so common a disease as to attract little attention, but in recent years knowledge of diet and sanitation has reduced it to a minimin. An article by J. W. S. McCullough, M.D., DP.H., on the "Prevention of Scurvy," may have particular interest here, in view of the fact that several months ago there were several cases of the disease in the Iroquois Falls district. Through publicity given the matter by the correspondent of The Advance at TIroquois Falls, the disease Captain Cook changed all this. He was born in a clay "biggin‘ " in Yorkâ€" shire and at 27 joined the Royal Navy. Within a month his grave, firm, sensiâ€" tive face so impresed the captain that Cook was made master‘s mate. Later he became captain of the "Endeavour," 368 tons. She was overcrowded, and unhygienic; she was not provisioned against scuryvy. In this and other ships, Cook crissâ€"crossed the Indian, the Paâ€" cifis and the South Atlantic in every sort of climate. He never lost a man from illness. All this was the more remarkable since Admiral Anson‘s squadron, barely a year at sea, lost 626 cut of 921 men.
