The ‘erowds within sight gasped as they watched the seaplane again rise sudâ€" _ denly when Lisutenant Bootham openâ€" ed his engine full throttle and flashed "the startingâ€"line into the speed cours® “of seven rounds totalling 217 miles. What appeared: to: be a silver bird dancing in the sunlight was the plane banking round the first pylon off wes Britain‘s "Spitfire" fighter was really born 15 years ago! â€" dt began its amazâ€" ing career in 1925 as Supermarine 54 monoplane, designed and built to take part in the Schneider Trophy race off RBaltimore, U.

A. MciInn‘is, mayor of the town at the time. and A. C. Brown left Timâ€" mins twenty years ago to keey an apâ€" »ointment made with Premit Drury wv the Timmins Board of Trads. This Timmins delegation were authorâ€" ized to press several . matters very strongly on the Farmers‘ Government then in power in this provincs. Chief among these was the question of buildâ€" ing a branch lins from Timmins to near Sudbury, thus giving this part of the North another outlet to the south By the T. N. O. Railway lines. The Advance at the time pointed out that such an extension Oof the T. N. O. would pass through an unusually promâ€" ising section of country, rich in pulp, timber. mingerals, agricultural land and scenery beyond rivalry. The construcâ€" tion of a road to the Union Mines in Whitesides was another matter to he taken up. Still another was the quesâ€" tion of establishing a Divisional Court office in Timmins. The delegatss reâ€" ceive a fair hearing from Proemisr Drury and his Cabinst, but it took :ome time to Oobtain any of.the objects desired. The road to Whitesides and the railway to connect with Sudbury are yet to come. Such is life in thne North Land! For some years previous to 1920 the board of Trade and other bodies in Timmins, as well as individual citizeons had sought to bave a customs office establisherid at Timmins. It was in Novemt>r of 1920 that this k®ngâ€"felt want of a custom office at Timmins was eventually filled. The Advance considered the establishment of a subâ€" office at Timmins for customs mail‘matâ€" ter to be a very important step in the right direction, and the followinz artâ€" icle appeared on the front page of Thc Advance of Nov. 17th, 1920:â€"â€"‘For a number of years past complaint has Been made of the loss and inconveniâ€" encs to pseople of this end of the camp through the costum office being lozsated at the other end of the camp. It has besn pointed out repeatedly that the major part of the customs business in camp is done by Timmins, yet people bere have to deal with the customs lofiice at South Porcupine for the reéleaâ€" se of every thing coming through the customs. This has meant loss of time and loss of patience, not to mention inâ€" lconvenience-and expense, but appeals for action to change this met with !proctically no response until last wesek. !Last week the president of Timmins lBoard of Trade, Mr. D. Ostrosser, was Inotified that henceforth Timmins post T wenty Y ears Ago\ Rombridge. Across the open Sta it dashed to West Wittering, off Chichesâ€" ter Harbour, rose higher, swooped down round the next pylon and on along the 14 miles‘ leg of the course fringing lSouthse'a and Portsmouth towards the i pylon in the Solent. , | Lieutenanit Bootham flew superbly. His machins was steady as it hurtled |tmouvh the air at 343 miles an hour! lHe shattered the world‘s lap record in this first round. 6 ‘ Round and round he flashed by the lspectaton, flying so low that his figure could be seon crouching in the cockpit. The crowd could never have realized a xflactlon of the colossal strain on the 'pllot in this dash through the air, fastâ€" | er than any man had ever flown in a| distance flight. ‘ In exactly 38 minutes 22 seconds, at ‘an average speed of 340 m. p. h. Flight | Lieutenant Bootham won the Schneidet ,Trophy for Great Britain, and presaged (the "Spitfire" fighter. A few days later Flight Lieutenant George Stainforth in the same winning ‘monoplane created the world‘s record of 407.5 m. p. h., in a series of dive tests ‘from a height of 15,000 ft. into a meaâ€" lsured mile in Spithead. From the Pc;tupinc Advance Fyles: «t PP P AP AS L LC LC AC C LAE â€"Qâ€"P: C PP C E* :n The "Spitfire" had arrived! All the experience gained in these Schneider Trophy contests was embodied in the production of the singleâ€"seater fighter which was to become the wartime terâ€" or of the air. It was powered with Rollsâ€"Royce engines designed by the late Sir Henry Royce, who at the age of 11 sold newspapers on the streets of his home town. The "Spitfire" was envolved by the late R. G. Mitchell Chief é‘ngineer and designer of the Supermarine Aviation Works, Socuthampton. Only 30 years old when he designed the first Superfarine â€" S4 he laboured unceasingly, with undaunted courage against failing health, for a dozen years during "which he successfully reâ€"designâ€" ed his first creation and made it posâ€" sible for a British machine to attain a world recoerd with a speed of 407 m. p.â€" h. Designer Mitchell, although born at Stoke, Staffordshire, made his home in Hampshire, and the "Spitfire" is a Hampshire machine, created, perfected and produced in the works on the norâ€" thern shores of Southampton Water. Over 1,000 years: ago King Alfred| 74 founded and built the first British NAVY | ors on this same bit of Hampshire coast.} Alfred‘s ships cleaned up the invadâ€" «4 ing Danes in a West Solent battle in y 897 A. D. and established the beginning. of British sea power. "Spitfire" fight-‘ ers., arriving 1,043 years after, are toâ€"| day shooting down invading bombers in the skies over these same| 4 historic English waters. ;cf Recently over Spithead and the Solâ€"| toc ent it might have been a repetition of res the Schneider Trophy races when ba squadrons of "Spitfires" were hurtling stc through the air after German bombers, str sinking every minute with the fire, to from eight guns.. ha * History repeats itself to those who.an invade Britain‘s shores.

This will mean a decided conâ€" venience to the people in so far as matâ€" ter coming through the mails is conâ€" céorned. For mail matter the Timmins post offics will now serve as a customs offitcs. So far so yood! For express and freight shipments however, the old mus be followed The Timâ€" mins Bsard of Trade on sevéral ocâ€" casions has made strenuous efforts to have a resular customs office here. Their efforts haveâ€"usually been countâ€" ‘r:d by the suggestions that the custâ€" oms office must seorve the whole disâ€" trict and to move it to Timmins would take it farther away than at present from Iroquois Falls and points on the T. N. O. Porcupine branch. The establishment of the post office here as a subâ€"office for customs is a step forâ€" ward in any event and the Timmins Board of Trade is to be congratulated on kesping hammering away until they have gainsd this much. Keeping right at it right along may eventually result in what should have been done long ago the establishnment of. a regular customs offics at Timmins for the convenience of the psople." The Timmins Board of Tradse képt hammering away at the matter until eventually the battle was fully won and Timmins had the cusâ€" toms office facilities that were needed and justified. | ably another fifty people present.

He nas been down on the farm at his old home near New Liskeard for the past few woeeks, and now is fully recovered from the effects of the injured back that caused him so much trouble and necessitated so much treatment the past two or three years. The injury that caused the trouble was the result of a strenuous hockey match in which Jack sustained injuries to his back from which he is just recovering now." The euchre and sociali in St. Anthony‘s parish hall on Nov. 12th, 1920 proved cne of the greatest events of the seaâ€" son. The paid admission for the 0¢â€" casion totalled 352 and there were probâ€" ches in French and English were preâ€" sented and proved very popular. Twenty years ago The Advance had | the following paragraph that should ‘prove interesting: â€" ‘"Mike Chenresky was arrestel last week and ‘will come pefore Magistrate Atkinson on Thursâ€" day in connection with injuries reâ€" :ceived by Mike Calavas. According to \the story as it appears now there was a regular row among the Mikes, and one Mike is alleged to have thrown, pushed or assisted the other Mike had waited a week It lthrough a plate glass window in one | of the lower stories of one of the forâ€" eign boarding houses on Third Avenue. ‘The Mike that went through the winâ€" dow was badly cut about the back, the wounds requiring several stitches to mend . If the old proverb is true, "that \ employment in Toronto and also that there was great need of men in the North Land.> *"The North beckons," | said The Globe. "there may be lack of movies and of the bright lights of the city streets, but in compensation there will be no bread line." In reply The Advance said, in part:â€" "The North ‘Land is not, as the Gobe seems to imagine, a forest land gdevoid of recâ€" reation and of amusement. A man may not only enjoy golden days in Timmins | but he can assuredly spend bright nights and sse lots of bright lights here."" The Advance then continued to mention the attractions of the town, the amusement facilities, the sporting facilities, the schools, etc. a stitch in time saves nine," then if this wound Mike had waited a week It would have been necessary to run his back on the sewing machine then". Ten years ago The Advance preached a little sermon on an afticle in The Toronto Globe.
