If modern and tradiâ€" tional design were lined up in different camps, mcdern wsouldn‘t get very far as a style, while© traditional would be missing the stimulation that a fresh infusion would bring.

None of that clean honest simâ€" plicity has been sacrificed in the evoluâ€" tion; none of the practical functionalâ€" ism has been lost. But with this phase of modern has come a transitional qualâ€" ity that makss it possible to combins it congenially with the old things we love and even with dsscument patterns.

Ralph Dipaolo the prnsxdent was in the chair, and there were manv ques'-tlons considered and discussed. © There were about fifteen prospectors and others attending the classes for prospectors being conducted in the Oddfellows‘ hall, Timmins. under the auspices of the Ontario Department of Minmnes ten years ago. While the atâ€" tendance was not as large, perhaps, As in some previous years, there was great interest being shown ard those attending felt they were getting someâ€" thing well worth while in the way of assistance and instruction in prospéectâ€" ing work. The classes were being directed by Dr. E. M. Burwash who was experienced and competent and well fitted for the task undertaken. Severâ€" al oldâ€"time prospectors were taking in ssme of the classes and were agreed upon their notable value. The regular meeting of the town council was held ten years ago with Mayor Gso0. S.

This originated at a previous inseting when Kiwanians Honey and Bill Rinn were taunted and tormented to sing. The charge was made that they found humorous fault with the singing of others and so shculd shcow how it should be done. They pleaded at the previous meeting that they did not have their music with them. Monday they very plainly had the music there on display.
