The Porcupine Fair at Porcupine on | Tuesday and Wednesday, September 8' and 9th, 1930, was a notable success in | every way. The attendance was good, ‘ while the exhibits, both as regards to| quality and number were worthy ot’ special mention. In many lines, such | as vegetables, for instance, the exhibits were of the type that made the oldâ€" time fair so interesting. | The address at the Kiwanis funcheon ten years ago was given by the Rev. Father Sowinski, priest to the Polish people of Timmins, and proved to be "The St. Louis Junior Baseball team had an easy win over the Timmins Juniors at the ball grounds here yesterâ€" day and as a result the clever Sudbury lads will carry the baseball banner of the North to the citadels of further honours in the south," said the Advance ten years ago. "Those who saw the game here last night will hope and expect that the Sudbury lads will do well. In any event they will reflect credit on the baseball talents of the North." The Week of Wonders presented by the Timmins Legion ten years ago, closed on a Saturday night in a regular "blaze of glory" so far as all sorts of success were considered. It lived p to its name all through the week and was designated a "Week of Wonders". There were over a thousand present for the closing night. The total attendâ€" ance for the week reached past the four thousand mark. From the finanâ€" cial standpoint the Legion did well and netted a neat sum to add to their relief fund. This was accomplished, despite counter attractions, the generally acâ€" cepted financial stringency in the counâ€" try and all the other drawbacks. (Much credit was due the officers and members of the Legion and the Ladies‘ Auxiliary for the success attained. At the Radio Cafe ten years ago some sixty guests were present at a banquet given by the Timmins Softball Associâ€" ation in honour of the winners of the district hocurs in the game. The winâ€" mers of the district championship, the Holly Stores team, and the runnersâ€"up the Shamrocks, of Ansonville, were the guests of the Timmins Association for the occasion.

Men, women and chnildren tried the game and most of them found it particularly fascinating. one of the most interesting talks that have been made to the club. Father Sgowintki triefly but comprehensively traced the growth of the Polish people from a raszal state to one of independâ€" ence as it was ten years ago, and pointed with pride to many of her sons who were famous t..rough great achievements from King Boris, who in 1364 established at Krakow the first university in Central Europe, to Ignace Jan Paderewski, who was known for many years as the world‘s most brilâ€" liant pianist and composer and Minister of his native country Poland. i "I guess you will have heard atout ‘the Midlands being bombed, ", says ;the letter. *""They have been all around us now.

Ketley, Messines avenue, Timmins, has received a very interesting letter in which refâ€" erence is made to recent Hun air raids. The newspapers sent included "The Nottingham â€" Evening News," "The People", and "The Daily Sketch," all of which give interesting accunts of the nazi air raids. ©They also give promâ€" inence to the British air raids on Gerâ€" manâ€"held territory. The Nottingham Evening News comments on the Gerâ€" man story about Big Ben chiming thirâ€" teen times one night. Lord Haw Haw suggested that this would frighten many superstitious people. The Notâ€" tingham paper quotes an official as saying that not only was the story a lis, but it was also an impossibility. ‘"You might also ask Lord Haw Haw, by the way, how it is possibel for Big Ben to strike at all if London is already razed to the ground." "BEverywhere one was impressed by the immense extent of Canada‘s war effort," declared Mr. Hungerford. "Immediately before going west I was on the Atlantic seaboard at Halifax, and it may be truly said that from Atâ€" lantic to the Pacific our resourc*s in man power and 13 material are being utilized to the end that victory may be won. Every existing industry appears to have been affected by the call for materials, and large new plants are also being erected to handle work never hitherto undertaken in the Dominion. @Especially striking are the extensions being made to airports in all of the provinces with new or enlarged hangars, runways and barracks. Great headway is being made with the provision of facilities for the training of defence and other troops in the various areas. The Daily Sketch tells of a Milâ€" land town where a dance competion was conducted as bombs fell and the guns made terrific din. The mayor in preâ€" senting the prize said:â€""The way they carried on during the raid was a typâ€" ical example of the country‘s morale." The People also gives many evidences of the high morale of the British people, who are carrying on, despite Hitler, Huns, horrors and high weather. English â€" People Prepare Each Night for Raids.

They have never been better prepared, and everywhere I have been I have seen indications of the highest standâ€" ards of work and of morale. During the months ahead the traffic loads on our arteries to the seaboard will greatly exceed any peak reached in the last war, and I am confident that a very satisfactory job will be done. It is in such times as these that the peoâ€" ple of the Dominoin realize the value of their great railways. To see the whole pattern of this deâ€" velopment as I have seen it during the past few weeks is to realize how great is Canada‘s strength and how seriously she is facing her partnership with the Mother Country in the struggle in which we are engaged.
