He was the senior partner in the weliâ€" known firm of L. H. and N. A. Timmins. Montreal. This firm for several years was proeminent in many industrial and other activities. The late L. H. Timâ€" mins was born at Mattawa, Ont., in 1859, and was the son of the late Noah Timmins who was one of the early residents and prominent citizens of that section of the country. L. H. Timâ€" mins and his brother, N. A., on the death of their father, carried on with success the lumber and mercantile business which he had established. In the early days of Cobalt they grubâ€" staked more than one party of prosâ€" pectors and in 1903 their keen interest in mining resulted in their active enâ€" trance into the Cobalt field as prinâ€" cipal owners of one of the most suceessâ€" ful of the silver camp‘s mines.

THE LARGEST GoLD CAMP IN CANADA Ten years ago Major Mawron was in Timmins for the annual inspection of Cadets at the Central public school. The oys went through their drills and mevemnents with unusual effectiveness and precision and won very general commendation. Jack Lake was captain of the Cadets and won from the inâ€" specting officer the praise that he was the smallest and most efficient Cadet over he Benny Hollinger and other properties that eventually became the famous property of the Hollinger Conâ€" solidated Gold Mines Itd. The town of Timmins was named after the Timmins brothers who have been since the ccmmencement the chief owners of the Hollinger property. On the faith and courage of the Timmins brothers was founded the prcgress and development as well as the commencement of the town of Timmins, The late L. H. Timâ€" mins was one of the directors of the Hollinger and until recent years ho made frequent visits here where he had nosts of friends and admirers. During the past few years the late (Mr. Timâ€" mins had been gradually withdrawing from active business. Personally he was of quiet and retiring disposition, but was much admired by those who knew him well. He was known to assist maâ€" terially in philantrophic and social work but preferred to do this without publicity." TO Cedar Street Balsam Street Mountjoy Street Fourth Ave .. Preston Street .

Major Mawron also had special praise for he undoubted fine work of Mr. Roberts, who in this, his first year with the Cadet work on his shoulders, had made so excellent a showing with the boys and trained them to so high a standard of efficiency, "Last week the Hudson‘s Bay Power CO. Limited, a subsidiary of the Abitibi Power Paper Co., Ltd.," said The Advence ten years ago, "took a number of newspapermen on a trip to Abitibi Canyon, the site of the new power deâ€" velopment to supply the Sudbury field. The newspapers of the North were especially invited to take the fourâ€"day trip. Those in the party included: W A. Peacey, Mail and Empire, Toronto; W. J. Jeffreys, Financial Post, Toronto:; A. D. Kean, Toronto Star; Roy Snyder, Telegram, Toronto; O. L. Sibley, Monâ€" treal Herald; F. P. Pailes, Northern Miner; E. Honey, Sudbury Star; Carl Thorning, editor Northland Post Cochâ€" rane; Geo. Lake, publisher The Adâ€" vance, Timmins; L. V. Rorke, Deputy Minister of Lands and Forests; W. H. Smith and Alex Dewat, of the Abitibi Co.; M. Kelly of the C.P.R. North Bay. The visitors were the. guests of the Cochrane board of trade Tuesday evenâ€" ing at a banquet that was featured by a general fine time and some remarkâ€" ably fine addresses. Outstanding among the addresses was cne by Alex Dewar on the potentialities of the country north of Cochrane. A. V. Waters, MP.P., S. J. Dempsay, Mayor Mitchell, of Cochrane, and W. H. Smith, secreâ€" taryâ€"treasurer of the Abitibi Co., also delivered interesting addresses. During the evening it was announced that a township east of Cochrane had been named in honour of S. J. Dempsay." Ten years ago Kiwanian Ralph Tayâ€" lor, of ‘Cobalt, District Lieutenantâ€" Governor of the Kiwanis District of Ontario, »Quebec â€"and â€"the Maritimes, paid his official visit to the Timmins club and the occasion was a most interâ€" esting one. In honour ¢of the District Lieutenantâ€"Governor an evening meetâ€" ing was held and there was a large atâ€" tendance of memibers for the occasion. District Lieut.â€"Gov. Ralph Taylor gave a very interesting and inspiring address on Kiwanis. He touched particularly on Kiwanis in reference to the club‘s plaze in respect to the District and International. The address was an able and inspiring one and was greatly apâ€" preciated by the members present. Mr. Taylor stressed the steady growth of Kiwanis and showed that the progress was due to the need for such service organizations and to the effective way in which the Kiwanis supplied the need. Not only were Kiwanis clubs of service to the community in which they were but they conferred advantage upon the members who received them for the more effort and interest given. At the time there were no less than 1852 clubs and Kiwanis kept on inâ€" creasing. Ten years ago The Advance published a letter from the Rev. Fr. John ._R. O‘Gorman, of the Church of the Natiâ€" vity, Timmins, describing his trip abroad to attend the Rucharistic Conâ€" gress at Carthage. Prior to leaving Timmins the Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman promâ€" ised to send occasional letters desâ€" criptive of the tour, and the one pubâ€" lished ten years ago was the second of these very interesting informative letters. Amonz the local items in The Adâ€" vance ten years ago were: ‘"Miss Doroâ€" thy Stephenson, of New Liskeard, was the guest last week of Mrs. Campbell Angus." **Bornâ€"in Timminsâ€"on Tuesâ€" day, cune 3, to Mr. and Mrs. Jos.

She will spend the holidays with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. McCarthy.‘" Ottawa, June 5â€"Prices continue to rise sharply in Italy,. From one end of the peninsula to the other corresponâ€" dents complain of the failure of crops, in part because of the intense cold of last winter; in part because of drought. In the north especially, many farmers state that they will plant only enough grain for next year‘s seed since grain is now so@ dear. A correspondent declares that fodder is scarce and cattle diseasâ€" ed. *‘The crops are ruined", he writes, "Curned dry. We have not been able to make bread for eight days now as we couldn‘t find fcour." Among Italian peasants, | essential part of every meal Scarcity is reported to ‘be greater than in the war of 1914â€"18. Soap is rationed at one cake a week.

We have broken up into presâ€" sure groups. The national spirit has been diluted by the thin waters of selfishnness. Let‘s start again from secratth and restore the spirit that actuated the pioneers and bequeathed a great Domâ€" As we see it, we have become soft, inured ito luxury and extravagance and, as we have privately held for a long, long {ime, now there is not a good revolution left in us of this confinent, in peace or war. We in Canada have tried to keep up the style of the Joneses in their big mansicon across ‘the way. We donned top hats and broadcloth too soon.. We should have stuck to our shirtsleeves and overalls. There‘s rough work to be done in a new country like this. We all know it, and yet all Amâ€" erica crowds into the cen‘tres of popuâ€" lation and demands whiteâ€"collar j0bs or it won‘t play, and so we have become cakeâ€"eaters individually and as nations. What we need is more iron in cur blocd in peace that we may have it to use in war. Life is not a summer outing at the expense of the other fellow. Rights of citizenship are expounded loudly, but we hear little or nothing about its duties, by which alone those rights can be retained or made worthâ€" while in the first place. We turn to Government for everything and then we kick at taxes. We have largely come to that the world owes us a living. By foolish, petty laws and reXuâ€" lations we have destroyed ‘the spirit that alone can people our great North and iwhittle from it jobs to satisfy the multiplication of population. cut cur mistakes. Then back ‘that up with nationâ€"wide emphasis upon the dutics that must be performed by cach one of us, energetically and consisâ€" tently, if those restored rights are to be retained . Perhaps, if more publicity of the right sort had been fed to the people if the puwblic forum of Parliament had been kept in session as an outlet for expressicn, there would have been a very different feeling throughout ‘the Dcminion, instead of the letdown, lackâ€" adaisical attitude that was prevalent everywhere until a few short days ago, when public opinion was scared into expression by reverses in France. There is but one way to peace, and that is by being prepared always for war and fighting hard to preserve it when it is threatened. Have we fought for libertyâ€"anotherâ€"word for individuâ€" alismâ€"in times of peace? There is only ‘one answer to that, and it is therefore not surprising that we have shown a lack of fighting spirit in this war. Thcose in command of the resourâ€" ces of the country, upon whom has devolved the great task of the terrible days, ‘may have absorbed the same contented attitude, taking their cue from us. If so, just criticism falls upon us as well as them. Might it not help us to find out what is wrong if we first subjected ourselves to thorough psychoanalysis? That might conceivably tell us why we are not fully alive to the implications of this war, which may end our way of life, even upon this lucky continent. Those who represent the people, and who therefore are our only refuge in these cataclysmic times, must be stimâ€" ulated to ever greater effort by every means in the power of all of us, colâ€" lectively and individually. What can each one of us do? Even the feeblest can stand firm, helping the hands of those upon whom we must depend, eustaining the ccurage of the brave | boys at the front, who have offered their all. Perhaps, when these current events of chaos have simmered down into facts, we shall find that the trouble goes a great deal further back than we have imagined, perhaps as far back as disarmament days, which may have lulled us into a sense of security or catalepsy as successive Prime Ministers of Britain matched brute cunning and treachery with idealism and fatously thought it would work.

S. Stevens, as making progress to recovery. The Windsor Star:â€"Much as one hates to discourage inventive genius, there certainly seems to be something grotesque in the claim of a Vancouver carpenter to have invented an aerial bomb which "cannot miss". The fact that he asserts that this can be d@ropped unerringly down the funnel of a ship, regardless of the plane‘s speed, wind velocity and the speed of the ship itself, is in itsel{f an indicaâ€" tion of the extravagance of his claims. The authorities no doubt will invesâ€" tigate the invention. It is their duty to do so, for no chance to improve our fighting machinery, no matter how vague, should be overlooked. But we greatly fear that they will be simply wasting their time. ONE OF A SERIES OF MESSAGES SPONSORED BY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES OPERATING IN CAMNADA ©@ To the individual, whether he serves on the fighting front or the home front, life insurance continues to guarantee financial security for his family and himâ€" self. It means that his loved ones are protected and will be supâ€" ported in time of need. It means that he will have money for emerâ€" gencies, and a nestâ€"egg lo provide for his old age. /â€"‘-/ War emphasizes the importance of life insurance Guardian of Canadian Homes for over 100 Years The April statistical and produc tion bulletin of the Quéebec Bureau of Mines reveals that new records have been achieved in the production of gold, silver, lime and cement for the first four months of the year. These figâ€" ures are the highest ever known in the production of these materials in their entire history for a similar period. The production of clay products also has been steadily advancing and for the four month period it has reached the high since 1932. The monthly figures for April are also very satisfactory as every mincral shown in the bulletin records a gain over April 1939 with cement showing the greatest percentage, a gain of 83.1 per cent. @ To the nation, life insurance funds representing the savings of thrifty policyholders, are providâ€" ing millions of dollars so necesâ€" sary for the development of Canada.
