Archbishop of Moosonee Guest Speaker at South _ Porcupine Kiwanis Club South Porcupine, Feb. 22â€"(Special to The Advance»â€"The Most Rev. J. G. Anderson, B.A., D.D., LL.D., Archbishop of Moosonee was guest speaker at the Kiwanis dinner on Thursday. The "Weekl» Tailings", leaflet sent each week to members of the South Poreuâ€" pine Club, pays the following tribute to his lordshipâ€""His Grace may be truly termed a FProntiersman of the Empire. Born at one of the outposts of Britain. the Orkney Islands, seems to have been prophetic of his mission in life. For over thirty years he has been the Chief Factor of the Diocéese of Moosoncee. His diocese extends north to Pond Inlet, Baffin Island, and south to the height of land to the south of the Porcupine . . . and including in its breadth Chapleau and _ Geraldton. Before the days of acroplanes his missionary journeys took months, No man knows the Indian better than the Archbishop who has a complete knowâ€" ledge of their language and has conâ€" tributed many translations of books of devotion for the aborigines of his diocese .. It was fitting that such a gentleman be accorded the honour of clection was Metropolitan of Ontario for his devotion to the work of Christ in the outposts of the Empire." The Archbishop, instead of giving his Indian experiences, told the Kiwanians quite a lot about }he Kiwanis moveâ€" ment which some did not know. He told them (with a smile) that in 1924 he was asked to speak at a Kiwanis Club gathering, and, knowing nothing of the movement got busy with an encyclopedia and ‘"read up" on it. His memory proving faithful through the years, he was able to repeat for the benefit of the South Porcupine Club some of the facts he learned nearly twenty years ago. He proved an inter._ esting and entertaining speaker. The Fireside Bridge Club held its weekly meeting on Thursday at the home of Mrs. F. Walker, William Ave. Prizes wore won by: 1, Mr. Wilker; 4 Mrs. Len Smith; 3, Mrs. H. Blood. The hostess served a dainty lunch at the end of cards.

South Porcupine, Feb, 22â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"Spring cleaning may be a distant vision, but all housewives at this time of the year feel an urge to eliminate the superfluous household impedimenta which gathers during the winter months. The Home and School Club of the Buffalo Ankerite has had a brilliant idea and is putting it into practice. A committee is gathering up such articles as you housewives want to throw outâ€" the out moded clothing, partly worn shoes, superfluous pots and pans and bric a brac, magazines and books, to say nothing of the hats you never will wear again, and this club is planning a huge rummage sale to be held in the Oddfellows hall, Timmins, on March 20th. The money thus acquired will be used to buy layettesâ€"baby clothesâ€" to be sent as a special contribution from the H. and S. Club to the babies of the bombed victims of England.

He came to the Porcupine when he left his first Canadian missionary post at Rupert House in 1914 and has made his home first at Porquis Junction and later in South Porcupine since then. The induction means to the congreâ€" gation of St. Pauls that the minister who has worked among them as a missionary, is no longer a missionary. He is their pastor, rector, teacher and spiritual adviser permanently, for as long as he chooses to remain. It means that the parish is clear of debt, a rectory and church and parish hall have been built by them for a minister, and their choice has fallen upon the man who has helped them to build the parish,.

He referred â€"to the bene. fits of a public library and the need for one in Timmins. He also outlined the methods of financing as provided by law and touched on the several places in town that could be secured At the meeting of the town council twenty years ago the chief item of business dealt with was the appoint. ment of a committee to consider the establishment of a public library in Timmins. C. S$. Carter, principal of the public school here who had taken to house the books,. Councillior Long. more suggested that a committee be appointed to confer with Mr. Carter in the matter, and Councillor King and Sullivan were named by the mayor for this. The mayor, Dr. McInnis, thought the proposal for a public lib. rary was very commendable and be. lieved it might be followed out without any great expense. It may be noted here that it was three years after this, or 1924, before the public library was actually established here, though all will admit now it is one of the most beneficial of the institutions of the town and that the town would have been advantaged had it been establish. ed here when first proposed a dozen years before it was actually started. While the matter of the library was the most important matter before the council meeting it was another ques. tion that took up the greater part of th> time of the council. ‘One of the permanent firemen at that time had begn dismissed and he appealed to the council. The fire chisf was first asked for his side of the case. He said the man had been dismissed because he could not get along with the other men in the department and because he had us>d abusive and objectionable lan. guage to the chicf and g:nerally achieved unpopularity at the fire hall. The man in question was then heard, the discussion at times being hcated. Eventually the council endorsed the stand of the fire chief. Often The Advance is asked about the first house in Timmins, the first church, the first store, or the first in some other line. The first women‘s banquet in Timmins is thus described by The Advance twenty years ago:â€"â€" The banquet held last night in the Queen‘s hotel may be set down as a unique event as least so as the town of Timmins is concerned. It was the town‘s first Woeomen‘s Banquet. It was given by the Timmins Chapter of the Daughters of the Empire to those tak. ing part in the recent successful prisâ€" entation of "The Isle of Love," and only four or five gentlemen being on the cast of that musical comedy. Instead of having a long toast list with proposals and responses, the ladies had a pleasing musical programme of spe. cial excellence." Twenty years ago the town of Tim. mins was a happy town. It was apâ€" parent that the Porcupine hockey team was to be the championship team of the northern group of the NOH.A. Why, Timmins had actually trimmed the famous New Liskeard team 6 to 2 at Tinmins in a game that set the fans wild! The rink was crowded and practically every voice was lost. Tim. mins players included:â€"Worters, Mc. Guire, Cox, Parker, McCurry Campâ€" bell, Brown and Burrett. Liskeard‘s line was:â€"Britton, Montgomery, Eplett _ Spence, Burns, Thompson, Simms, Hogg. The referee was A. Jewell, of Liskeard, while Speck Bailey of Haileybury, was judge of play. It took two good men to handle a game those days. It was a very stirring game with the Porcupine lads out. classing the visitors all the way along. Frank McGuire started the scoring after five minutes of play. Dixie Cox also scored for Timmins in the first period. The score for the period was 2 all In the second period, Parker got two more and McCurry one, while in the final spasm Parker netted an. other. The Advance at ‘the time commented on the clever work of Frank McGuire on defence, and the great goaltending of Worters. "Parker, Brown, Campbell and Burritt made a regular business of worrying Liskeard," said The Advance, "and Liskeard sim. ply couldn‘t get their combination go.â€" ing with these four to break it up. Parker played a whale of a game, Bo did McCurry and Cox and McGuire, and Brown and Campbell. And Wor. ters showed himself the star goalie of the NOH.A." Twenty years ago on of the most popular of the oldtime residents of the camp left for the south to be marned, and The Advance made the following reference to the wedding event:â€" "Word reached here last week of a quiet, but pretity double wedding at Galt, Ontario, when two very popular young men of Timmins were married to two very charming young ladies of Galt. The blushing bridegrooms were Messrs H. W. Hooker and Jack Wray and Mr. F. C. H. Simms says he knows why they blushed. At Mr. Wray‘s wedding Mr. Hooker was best man,. and at Mr. Hooker‘s wedding Mr. Wray was groomsman but Herb claims ht was the best man present at both weddings.
