Among items in were the Borland from Shelter Have Enâ€" joyable Picnic‘ was a heading in The Advance ten years ago. "The youngâ€" sters from The C. A. Shelter had a very happy picnic on Monday through the kindness of friends who provided this treat for the youngsters. Mess Manson Smith M. E. Williams and E. L. Longmore and Mrs. K. Eyre proâ€" vided cars to take tire children to Bay | side Beach while the Marshallâ€"Eccleâ€" stons Co. also kindly loaned a truck for the same purpose. The youngsters had a very happy time at beach which is a sjlendid picnic ground and the children have beer talking ever since about the good swimminz, boating, wonderful "eats‘ and the other virtues of Baysids Beach, as well as the kindly way they were used by all" THUPRDAY,. AEPTEMBER STH, 1940 The Fesserton Lumber Mill was deâ€" stroyed by fire ten years ago. The Advance said in part "On Tucsday evoning of this week the mill ang tramway of the Fesserton Timber Company near Timmins were destroyâ€" ed by firs. The fireâ€"fighters were able to save the lumber years and the macâ€" hine shop, which were endangored by the blaze. The fire, the origin of which is not known, had gained great headway before it was noticed. The alarm to the Timmins fire department was sent in about 10.40 p.m. Tuesday night from one of the alarm boxes in the neighbourhood of the property. The Fesserton property is outside the town limits, but a number of firemen under Manson Smith, acting for Fire Chief Borland, who is laid up with an. infected foot, visted the property and. did all they could. There are a numâ€" ber of hydrants on the property, but owing to the fact that the mill had been shut down for a week there were no pumping facilities availab‘le. The Timmins firomen attempted to give assistance of any kind possible but found it was littis enough they could do." However, the lumber piles and machine shop were saved through the efforts of the volunteer fire fighters. In an article in The Advance of Scotember 4, 1930.about the miniaâ€" ture golf course established in Timâ€" mines, was the following: "Timmins gets more like New York every day. Occasionally it gets a littel like Chiâ€" cago. Sometimes there is a touch of Montreal, and once in a long while there is a breeze from Toronto. A litâ€" tle of all of these little places is strikâ€" ing Timmins now in the establishment of a miniature golf course, Tom Thumb golf course, Or whatever may be the correct name. Anyway all the cities have been having an epidemic of them amnd Timmins could not be expected to be Iisgng out of line. The Tom Thumb course has been established on the lot on Pine street at the corner of Second avenue. The lot was formerly occupied by the Queen‘s Cafe and latterly by a motor car show room." In The Advance ten years ago wAas the following: "Chas. J. Pearce, who had the misfortune to fall and fracture his skull while working as timekeeper on the construction work on the Mcâ€" Intyre‘s new mill some weeks ago and who has been in the hospital since as a consequence, was operated on last Saturday and is understood to be makâ€" ing progress to recovery now, though his condition is still serious." ‘Ten years ago this week The Advance carried a list of the prize winners at the Timmins Horticultural Society cland t sSpf€ home« Mrs. p from d to m Mondz s on A |â€" MrsS. . in}jui son r on â€" 1 White‘s acdonald irkland r back w ankle ankle truck td _ nd personal 1 years ago re Chiel A. ; this week following a ustained in home to evening weeks at his fa: Bornâ€" 25th i daug rink, S of Hail every number tion. The Advance ten years ago said:â€" "The Shrine of the Canadian Martyrs at Midl|and, Ont., was again the scene of holy interest on Monday last when pilgrims to the number of five hundred from the Archdiocese of Ottamwma and the diocese of Pembroke made it the cbjective cof their second annual pilâ€" grimage. The special train provided by the C.N.R. and carrying the pilgrims on their sacred journey left Ottawa at 5.30 on Sunday evening, August 24th, arriving at the Shrine at 9.15 the folâ€" lowing morning some few hours behind schedule." Rev. J. R. O‘Gorman of Timmins was one of the deacons of the Mass, and Rev. H. Sowinski of Timâ€" mins, mitreâ€"bearer. "Cobalt Bridegroom is Seventyâ€"six Years of Age" was the heading in The Advance ten years ago. The article follows: "Some days ago John A. Steâ€" wart, of North Cobalt, secured a license to wed Mrs. J. A. Stewart, of New Lisâ€" keard. The bridegroom‘s age was givâ€" en as 76 and the bride‘s as 80. It will be noted that the bride is not changâ€" ing her name, indeed, not even her initials." "Roy Hamilton, who has won wide, fame as a boxer has returned to town to take up residence here, after spendâ€", ing some months at Kirkland Lake.} Roy got into the finals in his class for the Dominion championship but lost out, though he defeated some clever lads in his class. He lost by a small margin in his last bout in the series,} the newspaper accounts suggesting that he had much the better of the latter part of the bout, but his opponent wasi griven the decision." So said The Adâ€" vance ten years ago. ' "Toster Rice, a prospector whose home is in Haileybury, but who has been spending several months prospectâ€" ing on the eastern side of James Bay, came through some days ago from Moose Factory in two and half days by airâ€"ship, the trip to Haileybury taking 60 hours. Under the old order of affairs the trip would have taken several days. Mr. Rice informed The Nugget repreâ€" sentative at Ccobalt, Mr. Frank Lendrum that a start has been made on the erecâ€" tion of the bridge which is to carry the T. N. O. railway across the Moose river, and approximately 150 men are engaged on the work there. The rails are laid to the bank of the Moose. At this point also provision will be made to carry over the river the highway which in due time will be extended north, and the same bridge will be usea for both railway and road. (MMr. Rice returned on Thursday to the region where he has been prospecting and he will be absent a few weeks yet before completing his work," said The Adâ€" vance ten years ago. (By Brigadier Hal Beckett in the War Cry) In the British town where my Diâ€" visional Headquarters is situated we live in what is called " the defence area." That is, we are within twenty miles of the coast. The sound of the aidâ€"raid sirens is a common one. In fact last night,. it seemed a whole night of sirens. Last week we had twentyâ€"seven warnings, but on Sunday came the first one to sound during a meeting. On Saturday I had the pleasant task of conducting a wedding of a Salvation airman to the neice of Mrs. Commanâ€" dant Hanna (late of Canada), and so British Salvation Army Carries On in Air Raids I arranged to be in the city for Sunday. I went to our "baby‘" Corps and had just commenced my Sunday morning address when the sirens roared and the drone of many aircraft was heard. Without any fluster, the audience folâ€" lowed us to the airâ€"raid shelter nearby. Here I resumed my addressâ€"to a larger congregation. There was perfect quietâ€" ness and all the "strangers" seemed impressed. We sang our closing song, sharing our Song Books with tke others and just as I pronounced the Benedicâ€" tion the "All clear" sounded, "like the sound Oof a great ‘Amen‘!" It was rather ironical that the text I had just announced was: "Let us follow after the things which make for Peace!" There is a young couple in an Eastâ€" | _‘ ern subutb, whose gcodâ€"looking bungaâ€" low has now been refurnished, because w one morning Mrs. Baker opened a letâ€"| °U‘ ter and found two theatre tickets and 'fO" a piece of paper on which was scrawled | O "Guess who sent these!"

The ediâ€" torial appeared in "The Canadian Farâ€" mer‘" on August 21st, and is of double interest â€" valuable alike for whak it tells and still more valuable because it is from a newspaper published in other than the English language and catering to a group of people of other than British origin:â€" Great Britain‘s Unbeatable Fitet In the preceding war the British fleet was that factor that decided the victory over the Germans. Truly, the last stroke Germany received in battles on France‘s fields. But that stroke had been prepared by the British fleet which through four years carried a ‘close economic blockade of Germany, jletting no help pass from America, 'Asia, or from the Mediterranean Sea. Germans declare that in the preceding ‘war they lost because Wilson cheated ;them with his fourteen points and a ‘slogan of ending the war "without anâ€" ‘nexations and contributions." This is not according to fact for the German army was then defeated and the comâ€" mand had to ask for armistice. And it was defeated because under the presâ€" sure of the eccnomic blockade by the ‘Allied fleets, especially the British, the morale of the whole German nation, and also that of the German army, broke down. Toâ€"day nobody is arguâ€" ‘ing the question what factors were mainly responsible for the Allies‘ vicâ€" tory. Today all know that victory was prepared by the Allied fleet and esp:â€" cially the British,. If it were not for \the economic blockade of Germany in ‘1914â€"18, then probably the result of the | war wculd have been different. Beâ€" !cause of the blockade famine broke out in CGermany, and the German army felt the hunger also. There was 4 lack of raw materials of all kinds in Gerâ€" many for war industry. Among the civil population of Germany, hunger uprisings broke out and at the naval base of Kiel, German marines revolted. All that together brought about the final breakdown of the German army and its capitulation. In the present war the German land army achieved great victories. The Germans Gefeated Poland, Norway, Holland, Belgium and France. It was not any different in the last war when the Germans defeated Belgium, Serbia, Montenagro, Rumania, Russia. But all those victories on land came to nothing by the final victory of the Allies in by | 1918 In the preceding war the Germans lost because they could not break the blockade of the allied fleet. The same will happen now. The British mariâ€" time fleet with its glorious tradition will fulfill its task and will strangle the economic machine of the enemy who, in spite of his land victories, will be forced to capitulate. In order to free themselves from the blockade, the Gerâ€" mans would need a fleet about as strong as that of Britain‘s. But even that small fleet with which the Germans entered the war is already decimated, and there is no question that it could enter an open fight with the British fieet, Correspondents of neutral states unâ€" animously declare that in countries occupied by Germany, famine is slowly approaching. In Belgium, conditions are so bad that famine may come there even the next month. Similar condiâ€" tions exist in Holland, and France. About famine in Germany they do not write at present but everything points out that the present blockade will have for the Germans the same result as the blockade in the preceding war. That is, famine of German masses and capiâ€" tulation of tht army. Hitler finds himself in the same posiâ€" tion as Napoleon I, who had subdued the whole Europs except Russia and Great Britain. But, finally, the naâ€" tions subdued by Napoleon, united and defeated the French army. Napoleon himself was sent to St. Helena where he died. The main cause of Napoleon‘s failure was nothing else but the blockâ€" ade of Napoleonic Europe by the Britâ€", ish fieet. Napoleon subdued nearly the whole of Europe. He, the same way as Hitler today, on the European continâ€" ent was breaking one nation after anâ€" anadian Ukrainian Newsâ€" HIGH QUALITY PRODUCE AT MARKET THE PORCUPTINE ADYVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARTIO other. Not one continental European state could make a stand against his victorious legions. Only England he could not reach, as he had no fleet that could compare ‘with the English,.
