Before the soccer game, a softball team from B Company gave a terrific lacing to the squad which had won the city league softball championship, the final score being 34â€"0. In fairness to the Port Arthur mushballers, howâ€" ever, it must be sitated that they were without several of their regular playâ€" ers, although the amazing final score would seem to indicate that the Alâ€" gonquins would have won anyway. Many of the best athletes in North Ray enlisted with Capt. Leo Troy‘s comâ€" pany. Boxing classes are now being held for thos> soldiers interested in the mitt game. Preparations are being made for a battalion hockey league, with eacsh company entering a team, while it has already been decided to enter a representative regimental team in the Port Arthur city league. It is likely that D Company will distinguish itself once more in this field of sport, the company roll listing many experiâ€" enced puck chasers. If the Timmins Company athletes do as well in hockey as they have done in soccer. all the northern communities which are represented in the unit will have just reason to feel proud. . D Company soccer team has played three games since arriving hnhere, and have won all three by szcores of 5â€"0, 6â€"0, and 3â€"2. More than 20 aspirants puckâ€" chasers will be battling for the right to carry the Company‘s colours when tryâ€"outs start within the next few days. CC a# TT Bowling will be another recreation which will be in full swing soon. It seems likely that each platoon will have its own bowling team. In addiâ€"~ tion, Capt. Leo Trop, who buit a reâ€" putation throughout the North as a coach of winning teams in many lines of: sport, is at firesen‘t working on an arrangement for basketball, volley ball and badminton activities. Turning to recreation of a : less strenuous type, it is likely that, startâ€" ing next week, a weekly dance will be held in the men‘s mess hall. There is enough excellent musical talent in the regiment to provide an orchestra for the occasion. Arrangements are also Algonquin Regt.

Margaret McGregor, our little Scotâ€" tisti evacuee,. was a guest, and at her very first introduction to ‘bingo‘ on a prize of a jigâ€"saw puzzle. Theâ€" hall was well filled, and the youngsters especially had a most wonâ€" derful time. Messra FC. Richardsin, H. Munro and H. Edwards were in charge of the party, and after comâ€" munity singing a costume parade of the children was held. Some of the sostumes were most original, and all were good. Lois countryman won first prize as a charming "Drum Majorette." Audrey Winship as Aunt Jeminu, warâ€" ranted a prize. Nina Munro as "Army Navy, Air", was another prize winner. Jeanette Kellow won as a fairy, Joyre Edwards as an imp and Verne Edwards as "Jack" won consolation prizes. These were judged by Mrs. Norman Holmes, a newcomer to town, who knew none of the children. Something of a record was estabâ€" lished by the Algonquins in moving from Camp Borden to Port Arthur. There was not a single instance of even minor damage in the two trains which carried the troops on their twentyâ€"four hour jfourney. Railway ofâ€" ficials congratulated the regiment and decvlared it was one of the most orderly troop movements it was ever their pleasure to handle.

There have been more changes in the personnel of D Company since the arâ€" rival at this camp. Sgt.

"His Excellency Bishop Rheaume, of Timmins, celebrated the seventeenth anniversary of his elevation as bishop of the diocese in Rouyn on Monday. In the evening he addressed a gatherâ€" ing at the Orphanage, consisting of a number of priests of the district, among them Rev. Father A. Pelletier, of St. Michael‘s, Rev. FPather L. Z. Moreau, St. Bruneau de Guigues, Rev. Father J. M. Pelchat, of Our Lady of Protecâ€" tion church in Noranda, Rev. Pather Richard, OM.I. of the church of Imâ€" maculate Conception in Rouyn South, Rev. Father Matte and Rev,. Father Lemay of St. Michael‘s Rouyn, Rev. Father C. Perron, Noranda, the director of St. Michael‘s sthool and a number of prominent citizens and their wives. Bishop Rheaume expressed his thanks to God for all it had been possible to do for orphaned children at the orâ€" phanage, which showed so clearly the ascomplishments of charity. He spoke of the nuns of the orphanage who were giving their lives to the children enâ€" trusted to their care and of his hopes of being able to open another school for the further teaching of orphans after they were too old to remain at the orphanage, where they might learn to be settlers and good citizens. Chilâ€" dren at the orphanage entertained His Excellien:y and the other guests with an interes;iing and well arranged proâ€". gramme, including songs, short plays, one of them a comedy, and an address to Bisnop Rheaurme." | Try The Advance Want Advertisements Perhaps a few interesting facts reâ€" garding how the donation you give is expended may help in having Citizens give a little more this year for their poppy. Since the beginning of the Logion in Timmins (and in years preâ€" vious when the sale was conducted by the I. O. D. E. and placed in a special fund, which provided milk and various other comforts to soldiers‘ dependants) it has been found that there were cases of distress and sickness. The deopression years proved the value of the Legion nclief fund when the averâ€" age yearly amount of relief distributed amounted to $2,500. The picking up of industry however has gradually reâ€" duced the total yearly expenditurs to an averags of $1,000 per year.. 1940 witnessed the Legion extending its work to the present day soldiers of the C. A. S. F. and several wives and famiâ€" lies have been assisted while awaiting allowance payments. Soldiers have been assisted also with transportation difficulties and in clearing up affairs before leaving for overseas. It is your contribution of the purchase of a poppy which gives the Legion the funds to carry on this work. A fitting burial is given to every unfortunate veteran who may pass on in indigent circumstances and the plot at the Timâ€" mins cemetery is a reminder of this human side of Legion work. The money for this is taken from general funds of the branch, in other words by members‘ activities.. The Poppy Fund is administered from a separate bank and a separate account. The folâ€" lowing is the tinancial report of the 1939 Poppy Campaign. This account was in the Dominion Bank of Canada and closed in June 1940.

South Por:upine, Nov. 2â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"First Students‘ Night at the High School for the winter season, was on Friday. The debate between South Porsupine and Kapuskasing, which was planned for this; occasion, has been postponed until next Friday. The Rouynâ€"Noranda Press last week had the following paragraph of local and general interest:â€" Why You Should Give a Little More for Your Poppy November 9th Relief Work of the Legion Averaging $100 a Month First Students‘ Night at South Porcupine H.S.

In . any event, however, it is apparent that Sudbury is one of the most rapidly growing cities in the Dominion and that it has several thousand more population than Timmins, despite the phenomenâ€" ‘ul gcrowth of this town. The population of Sudbury is estiâ€" mated at 34,695 in the Vernon Directory Co. annual city directory just issued. As noted in The Advance on Monday of last week the assessment figures for the town of Timmins for 1940 give Timmins a population of 28,630. This would suggest that Sudbury has 6,000 more population than Timmins, but the difference is scarcely that much _ Given in marriage by Mr. Lindsay Dyer, the bride was a picture of loveâ€" liness in a bridal gown of white broâ€" caded satin. Long leg 0‘ mutton sleeves tapered to points over the wrists, and amall shirring was featured at the shoulders from which the bodice fell in soft folds.,. A small swgeetheart neckline, and a long fitted waistline adorned the gown, and the slizghtly flared skirt fell in a long train. The bride wore a long veil of embroidered net, caught in a coronet of matching net and satin, and her slippers were of white satin. She carried an arm bouâ€" quet of pink Briarcliffe roses. The Church of Nativity was the scene of a very lovely weddinz on Sunâ€" day afternoon at 2 o‘clock when Miss Irene Georgina Klime, daughter of Mr and‘ Mrs. James Klime, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, became the bride of Mr. Willtam Borilko, son of Mr. and Myrs.

She wore pink roses in her hair, and carried a bouquet of red roses. Misses ._Annie Borkoski and Mary Denisevitch were the bridesmaids, the former wearing blue and rose embossâ€" ed taffeta, and the latter in pals green chiffon .with silver lame.

Following the ceremony, a wedding dinner was served at the home of the groom‘s parents, where the groom‘s mother received the guests in a salâ€" man pink ensemble, with black azscesâ€" sories. She was assisted by Mrs. Steve Borilko. Later in the eveping a reception was held at the Harmony Hall, and in a few woeks time, the bride and croom will leave to spend some time at Hamâ€" ilton.

The pamphlets were printed on poor quality white paper. Nazis Don‘t Like Him a veritabe garden spot of the province. This week there is more evidence to hand. . Leaving aside for the moment the wonderful weather here this month of October, some idea of the growing powers of the country may be gathered from the produce of the garden of Mr. R. Waite, of Schumacher. Mr. Waite who has gone into the market garden business, recently sold Mrs. Stevens, on the hill, some parsnips. The vegetables were sold as part of the regular busiâ€" ness of the day, â€"but were so large and attractive that they were duly weighâ€" ed and measured. One parsnip actually measured sixteen inches in circumferâ€" ence. This is an unusipal size of course but still more unusual, the vegetables were just as good as they were big. They were fine quality. Another samâ€" ple cf the weather and growth of this North Land may be mentioned. Last week Mra W. F. Richardson picked a big bunch of new green peas . They were fine peas rofany time of the year anh usually good for a second crop. A lot of the others in the garden were out in full bloom and may be picked later if the fine weather lasts. Still another sample of the wonderful seaâ€" son is in the fact that at the Dome Siding on Sunday Mr. Ray Cuthberâ€" son, of the Imperial Staff, pickâ€" ed up ripe strawberries alongside the track. He brought back samples to town with him. They were wellâ€"formâ€" ed and wellâ€"ripened and surely wonderâ€" ful for a second crop on October 24th, in the North Land. Reference was made in The Advance twenty years ago to a new series of moving pictures of this part of the North being taken by M. Shiels, Onâ€" tario Government motion picture exâ€" pert. Twenty years ago as at present, The Advance was upholding the North Land as a Land of growth and in doing 9 in its issue of O:t.‘ #7th, 1920, had the fo}lâ€" lowing references to parsnip grown in Timmins: â€" "Last week some evidence was submitted to show that the North Land is not a wilderness of cold and snow benighted Southerners believe, but At the regular meeting of the town council twenty years ago, J.
