THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS3, oNTARIO The victory of the Porcupine hockey team over the Haileybury team in the N, O. H. A. series was recorded with much pleasure by The Advance twenty years ago There were about a thousand 'people out to see the game and while the local lads completely outclassed the visitors the Haileybury team fought gamely to the finish. The final scor> was 10 to 1. The opening period was good hockey but the other two stanzas. were not so good. The Porcupine team included Worters, Cox, Spring, McGuire, McCurry, Brown, Parker and Jacobs: while Haileybury was represented by Burns Masterson, Speck, Austin, Hones, Laughington and Carâ€" michael. Masterson was the best man for the visitors. The inaugural meeting of the 1921 couwncil appointed the following as the chairmen of the various committses:â€" finance, E. L. Longmore; Police, J. E. Sullivan; waterworks E. S. Noble; fir> and light, L. S. Newton:; public works, cents per day or about; 15 per cent at the Cobalt minss. The reduction was said to be due to the power situation and the price of silver, and really to be an alternative to the closing of the mines «altog:ther. The Advance twenty years ago said: "The fire brigade has an established record for wery prompt response to alarms; but last night shortly after cight o‘clock they excelled even their usual good time.. The team and several members of the brigade were at the scene of the fir> before the alarm ceased ringing. The alarm was turned ‘ in on account of a chimney fire back of | Dalton‘s livery. _ The brigade had a line of hose laid in practically no time and were ready for the speediest action. but their s>rvices were not necessary." venience as well as beauty in their homes. All these you will find in abundanc> in the February sales in local stores.

"Well, onnyway," said one of the lads to the other, ‘"e coughs in English," â€"Globe and Mail ‘I\â€"A‘Jtvr{o 4 4h 2 A 4 allowed to develop. Attention was calâ€" Iâ€"d to adenoids, enlarged tonsils and other throat, nose and ear troubles. Very valuable advice was given . to mothers and prospective mothers in regard to the care of children. . The council decided the service was authorâ€" ized to engage a permanent nurse for theâ€"town through the provincial board adn to have a suitable office in A convenient location in the town. Miss Lowe has been engaged and the office open>d on Pine street as noted ‘. incipient diéea'ses in â€" their children thes> being easily remedies at the {ime. perhaps but likely to prove serious if C uit w E22e NT P uT hcalm Through their efforts mothers learned of physical imperfections oOr These nux‘Sés!, Miss Linton and Miss Meiklejohn did unusually helpful and effoctive work here for the public health. The town has opened an office for Miss Lowe in the premises recently ccupied by Miss Copp on Pine sitreet. Miss Lowe will assist the homes of Timmins and special clinics will also be held, for mothers and children. It will be remembered that two or three months ago the provincial board of health stationed two nurses hereâ€" with the purpose of improving and safeâ€" guarding the public health by means of visiting homes, holding cliniecs for children, giving advice to mothers and prospective mothers and gathering such data as would preve of usefulness in dealing with the health of the town. Twenty years ago The Advance pubâ€" lished a telegram just received the day of publication, to the effect that John Jonss and his team of 14 dogs had brought out the three balloonists from James Bay to Mattice where they could take the railway to Cochrane and from there proceed to their homes in the south. After referring to John Jones and his dog team, The Advance said:â€""John Jones has had dog teams | working in Hudson Bay district for the | past few months. That is no doubt how h> came to be on the spot when a team was necessary to take out the three American ballonists ‘The daily. newspapers; have been filled with storâ€" Ii:s of these balloonists. Thrse U. 8. Navy men left Rockway, N. Y, in De-‘ cember for a brief trip in a naval cbservation balloon They got lost ap-l parently and drifted rapidly north, eventually going to earth in the Moose ' Factory distric; where they were taken 'chmge of by the Hudson Bay factor at that point.. According to the daily newspaper, the whole world has been waiting breathlessly for their return to civi‘lzation. This idea is not quile tru» about the North Land." This counâ€" try was pleased at all the advertising it was receiving and amused at all the fuss. While the location of the three balloonists was not known there was naturally som» anxiety but as soon as people here knew they were at Moose Factory, all felt they were perfectlyâ€" safe and would be well cared for and returned to their homes without special discomfort. ~Just as expected they are back now to where railroads run or walk. Johnny Jones brought them out in his 14â€"dog team. It would be Just a pleasant trip for Johnny and he would s>e that the three men had easy travelâ€" ling and little more discomfort than on a steam railway with parlour car and dinner service. Next!" The Advance twenty years ago said:â€" "Miss Lowe of the provincial board of health department, Toronto, is the trained nurse secured by the town of | Timmins to assist in the good work of guarding and improving the public In The Advance twenty years azo it was m that J.
