Feor more than a quarter of 4 cenâ€" tury The Advance has been taking deâ€" light in mentioning the blooming of flowers here at times. Ten years ago mention was made of Dr. A. S. Porter and Chief of Police Harry Jones running a contess as to Premier Geo. Henry was a visitor to Timmins and district ten yvears ago, and was.tendered a luncheon here by the board of trade. Ten years ago Paul Santouche, son of | Mrs. Mary Santouche, was; found dead in his cabin at Wawaitin Falls. Hel had been in illâ€"health for some tim-e.‘ A. F.

Mayor Drew explained that he agreed that the nsed for the now building was very apparent, but for the moment the great nesed was to! provide public works that would mean‘ employment for unemployed married men. | On the front page of The Advarice ten years ago reference was made to the smashing victory cof the National Government in the British general elections. Sir Oswald Moseley and his Fassists were all defeated and the Communists were almost equally routâ€" ed4. ‘The total opposition was little more than a teyth cf the National Government strength.

Mrs. T. Thomas showed The Advance a beautiful pink rose picked from her girden on Oct. 28th. At the Hayden Gold Mines property there were roses in bloom, as well as pansies and sweet peas at the end of Ociober, There were also flowers, including roses, marigolds and pansies, sent from the garden of Mayor E. S. Ncole at Kapuskasing. Merchants in town ten years ago give very generdus response to the call of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Legion for the purchase of Vetcraft wreaths. Announcement was made in The Adâ€" vance ten years; ago of the opening of a order office here by the Robert Simpâ€" son Co., this first order office in Timâ€" mins for this firm being at 35 Third avenue. January 13th and 1l4th, 1932, were announced ten years ago as the dates for the annual Porcupine Poultry and Pet Stock show at Timmins. Mention was wade in The Advance ten years ago of fifty men sent from here to work in the bush in the Kapusâ€" kasing area. "There are still hundreds of men in the town who are out of work," said The Advance, adding that it was heped to prcvide employment A mean trick was played on one of the local fraternal societies here ten years ago, when the admission price on posters put around town was changed to a higher figure. Az.a result the society had the trouble of calling in l The Lancashire Social Club elected the following officers ten years ago:â€" President, G. A. Gibson; viceâ€"president, W.

If meant a lot of work arnd annoyance beâ€" cause of the perverted sense of humour of some moron. There was considerable excitement at the Empire hotel ten years ago when a car crashed headâ€"on into the front daoor of the hatel. The explanation of the dariver was that he made a poor turn at the corner, but the general opinion of those around at the time was that it took quite a trick to get car was IIne{d $10U and cosis 10rf recahigss driving. Ten years ago Roy Hamilton was on a car acros; the curb and walk and to damage the hotel door as was dong on this occasion. The driver of the car was fined $10 and costs for reckless REAL ESTATE INSURANCE STEAMSHIP OFFICE 20 Pine St. N., Timmins, Phone 1135 and 40 Main St., South Porcupine, Phune 285 Available in Timmins, Schuâ€" macher, and South Porcupineg, for commercial buildings, apartment houses, new homes, and improvements. Paid back by monthly payments over a number of years. On First Mortgages "It is my sad duty this morning to break to you the news of the sudden pasising of one who has long been a member of our Church, Mrs. Woodâ€" worth, ‘Senior. Though she was conâ€" tent to live quietly and alone, her life was not in any degree uneventful. She lhad been married many years ago by Ralph Connor, whose friendship she knew in the farâ€"off Rockies. She walkâ€" ed her quiet way among us, but those near her and who knew her besit, knew well her goodness, her humility, her #love and her devotion to our church. l "I think she has passed on as she would have wished. She could never bear to think of being a burden upon anyone. Though love called her to leave her little home, she did not wish it. And now, as quietly as she lived, 'she has been taken from us. Nor | would she have wished it otherwise. "WOork Not Charity" was the title of an editorial in The Advance ten years ago. The Advance was against all direct relief, but instead urged mum-‘ cipal, provincial and Dominion pubuc‘ works that would provide employmen. that would allow men to support themâ€" selves and their families "With any direct relief," said The Advance, "the money is simply spent and there is nothing to show for it, exctp! sears on the hearts of those foreed to accept. Even work not necessaryâ€"wOrk at a lossâ€"is preferrable to direct relief, and in the end less costly. In the most of cases important public and private works will be achieved by the work provided for relief purposes." Among necessary and desirable public works, The Advance mentioned a new muniâ€" cipal building, a road to connect Timâ€" mins and Sudbury, the Transâ€"Canada highway, «»veral public buildings needâ€" ed in the North. Had these been folâ€" lowed through it would have relieved unemployment, cost no more than direct relief, and toâ€"day the pecople would have had the public works to show for their money. Tribute Paid at Truro, N. 8., to Late Mrs. Woodworth, Sr. a Timmins man, who spent some years m the subâ€"tropics, to suggest that the bird was more likely to be a form.of crane. He did not think a true pelican would be found this far north. The species of crane referred to was very similar to the pelican, he said. Mother of Mrs. Guy Redden Honoured for Noble Life. In an article touching on the origin of some North Land Place names, The Advance ten years ago published a lâ€" ter from Dr. J. F. Edis in reference to the naming of Swastika. The name Swastika, he wrote, comes from the Sanskrit language and means to be well. In 1907 Jim and Bill Dusty stakâ€" ed the property at Oito Lake which they called the Swastika Mine. In 1908 Milton Crawford had the property which was later known as the Lucky Cross. The siding became known as Swastika Siding, and in 1911 when the first station was built the name Swasâ€" tika went up to stay. ‘-â€"'â€"â€" ESE The report of @ pelican being found at Larder Lake ten years ago promp‘ed Mr. and Mrs. Guy Redden recently returned from Nova Scotia where they were called by the illness and death of Mtrs. Redden‘s mother, the late Myrs. Wocdworth, Sr., of Stewiacke, Nova Scotia. ‘Evidence of the esteem and 1e°a1d in which the late Mrs. Woodâ€" worth was held may be found in the tribute paid to her memory in St. Anâ€" drew‘s church, Stewiacke, NS. This tribute was read in church the morning of her death:â€" "It is not without significance that she passed away on the morning of our autumn sacrament. Our fellowâ€" ship is not thereby broken. And who are we to say but what, as this mornâ€" ing, here in this Church, we partake, she, for her part, as our Lord himself hath said, "doth think it new in the Kingdom of God". "The whole community was shocked to hear that Mrs. Edith Woodworth, a very highly respected resident Of Stewiacke, NS., had passed away at an early hour on Sunday morning, October 5th, 1941, at the Colchester Hospital, Truro, having only entered there for treatment the previous day. "The deceased, who wa:s sixtyâ€"nine years of age, was formerly Edith Webâ€" ster, and is survived in her immediate family by two sons, Ralph, of Canard, Kings Co.; Cpl.

Logan Lawrence, at Wallingford, Pennsylvania. The funeral tock place on Saturday last at Norwalk, Connecticut. The late Mr. Dike, a mining enâ€" gineer of marked ability, was highly esteemed in this North. In the early days of Ccbalt he was a wellâ€"known figure in that camp, later going to Cripple Creek Colorada, and in 1914 and 1915 being active in the Porcupins area, then in its infancy. He was manager of one of the early mines of the camp, and his ability and agreeable personality made him wide circles of Depreciation:â€"first quarter, $36,â€" 2§2 30;: s»mcond quarter, $41,047.39; total, #17ACG%£$; as compared to $100,382.91 for the same period last year; a deâ€" crease of $22912.82.

It was necessary beâ€" cause of new tactical weapons and a s new type of army based on wheels and | gasoline, and also beeause the educaâ€" i tional standard of today‘s Canadian Army is so high that only modern docâ€" ' trines and views, especially in instrucâ€" | tional methods, could hold the | of tens of thousands of intelligent, wellâ€" | read Canadian youths learning to beâ€" | come modern shock-troopers The old ways would no lon:er do, the customâ€" chackled training syllabus had to_ be | scrapped. and British soldier has been under| weapons and the tricks of blitzrtactics revision, and even revolutionary change Modern Atmosphere As a result a new atmosephere peorâ€" vades eviry camp,. training centre, manoeuvre ground and lecture hut throughout the entire gigantic educaâ€" tional organization of the Canadian Armyâ€"inâ€"training. It is evoerywhere clear that progressiveness was demandâ€" ed in all staff and instructional officers by Lieut.â€"Gen. A. G. L. MceNaughton, the Corps Commander, and Majorâ€" General H. D. G. Crerar, Chief of the Canadian General Staff, from the moâ€" ment they launched the historic reâ€" organization of the Canadian Army after the fall of France. No device has been ‘thought too unâ€" usual, no untried procedure has been considered too bizarre for trial and adoption if it would increase future efficiency and eliminate tedium during the long training grind necessary to fit the modern soldier for the battleâ€" field. Disney Films The highâ€"water mark of modernity in Canadian training methods will be, of course, the arrival of the first film cf a series from the Walt Disney stuâ€" dios. Even to have suggested such a startling innovation to any army A few years ago, would have required an exceedingly daring and strongâ€"minded individualist. It would have been conâ€" sidered as grotesque as the Disney characters which will shortly be cavortâ€" ing in Canadian Army lecture hutsâ€" and teaching the fine points of new friends here. In 19%16 he went to Joplin, Missouri, and in that district soon became a very important figure in the mining world. The Globeâ€" Herald, of Joplin, describes him in a recent issue as "one of the cutstandâ€" ing figures of the local mining field," adding that he had a host of friends among the mining fraternity. The Globeâ€"Herald notes the several mining companies in that zinec and lead mining district, in which he took vital part, either as president, general manager, or director. The late Mr. Dike was born on Deâ€" cember lith, 1876, at Crystal Lake, Illinois. He from . Yale University in 1903 as a mining enâ€" gineer. He was married in 1906 to Miss Ethel Wileox,‘ of Bridgeport, Connecticut. He is survived by his widow and one daughter, Mrs. Lawrence of Wallingford, Pa., and a grandâ€" daughter:; also by one sister, Miss Edith Dike, of San Francisco, California. The late Mr. Dike had been in illâ€" health for about a year. The first of this year he suffered an attack of acute influenza, and subsequently went to the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minnesota;y where he underwent an operation for an intestinal disorder. MHe returned to his home at Joplin for a time but found it necessary to go to Ocean City, New Jersey, for his health. Early in August he was taken ill while visiting his daughter, Mrs. Lawrence, and after several months of illness he passed away on Oct. Mrs. Dike was with her husband through his illness and at the time of his death. Those who remember Mr. Dike during his residâ€" ence in the North will regret his death and extend sincere sympathy to the bereaved family in their loss.

The first Disney film to be included in the equipment of Canadian Army ; training centres discloses many meâ€" thods of stopping lanks by guerilia tactics and deals particularly with the efficiency and usefulness of the new Roys® antiâ€"tank rifie, swiftly coming into general use. Some fow hundred feet of film give detailed instruction on the care and handling of the rifle‘s mechanism, interspersed with riotous scenes of "*tanks" in great pain as they are driiled from ambush. There is an hilarious medley of fun and inâ€" formation on tankâ€"sniping. Animated cartoons disclo:» a tank‘s most senâ€" sitive and vulnerable joints and a score of "surprise" methods and ruses are revealed whereby an actual panzerâ€" kraftwagen can be stopped. Comfort For Defence "Stop that Tank!" also has value in disproving the fallacy that the new Canadian antiâ€"tank rifle "kicked like a |mule" and ~"couldn‘t stop a shadow." Army rumour had maligned, the weapâ€" on, which has an astonishingly gentle recoil, and in facing tank attack can te both deadly and an snormous comâ€" fort to the defence. The story of how the General Staff adopted animated cartoons to assist the training programme, alone reveals the new Canadian military mentality. An exâ€"Disney cartoonist, an Englishman, who had been living in the United €tates, turned up in the ranks of the artillery at Petawawa. He had passed his elementary military tests and had already been spotted as unusually giftâ€" ed. He had been selected for the artilâ€" lery survey section when it was sugâ€" gested that his talents could undoubtâ€" edly be utilized by Headquartors beâ€" cause "They have imagination there now." Proof of Staff Qutlook Imagaination was immediately found, and the above comment substantiated. The great worth of films of that type in dramatizing army instruction was seen at once, and Sergeant Pete Pagse is gow in Hollywood as Canadian miliâ€" tary technical adviser on the carioonâ€" films of the Disney studios. A series of Canadian training films will be produced. . Bucke Farmer Kills Bear That Was Eating a Pig The boldness and ferosity of the bears that are annoying people in the Central Temiskaming area were indiâ€" cated last week when S‘:‘anley Hoover, of Bucke township, near Cobalt, came across one of these bears at work eatâ€" ing one of the farmer‘s pigs that he had just killed. Mr. Hoover despatchâ€" ed the animal with a wellâ€"directed rifle shot. CONSTIPATION With perfect frankness a woman correspondent writes:â€" , "I have suffered from constipaâ€" tion as long as I can remember, and taken all sorts of thingsâ€"which in some cases seemed to do good at first, but afterwards to bhave no effect.
