For years past th»> annual Rose Ball given by Timmin:s Golden Chapter Daughters of the Empire had been anl outstanding social event of the season, but in 1833. the LO.DFE. fairly excelled itself ‘in ‘th> succes; and pleasure of that yeat‘s future. The Rose Ball of the TLO.D.E was held that year in .hhel McIntyre Recreation Hall, Schumacher, Friday, Jan. 3rd, 1933. The hall was artistically decorated for the cccasion | and ther> were many other artistic features that added interest to fthef evening. There was a large attendance | and all were well pleased with t,h:e! occasion. "One of the nicest dances yet," was a general opinion. The music by Sullivanâ€"Ormston and the Merryâ€" makers was a dfeature df the evening Another feature that won special comâ€" mendation was the refreshments served. ' The committee in charge of the arâ€" | rangements for the Rose Ball of 1933 | received many comiplimentary referâ€" ences for the success of their eforts in this event. | Ten years ago the following article was in Th>4Advance:â€"*‘"‘The Advance understands that negotiations have been concluded between the Clear Lake Porcupine Syndicate and some mining and financial interests in Hamilton and New York and as a result there will be ample to carry on the developâ€" ment of the Clear Lake Porcupine property and make it into a mine.

Later some of the visiitors enâ€" joyed curling games at the rink. The followihg‘ day the visitors inspected the big mines of the district, visiting the Hollinger, McIntyre, Domse Vipond, e*c., and being much impressed with what they saw. From Timmins the visâ€" itors Lbzft. for Kirkland Lake and Rouyn camps and als> intended to visit sudbury district before returning home. The T.. NQ. bonspiel, held ten years ago at Kirkland Lake, proved a success and made new records,. There were 49 rinks in the play, this exceeding the record at Timmins the year before of 39 rinks. With eleven sheats of ice, play had been facilitated, and was conâ€" cluded on Friday, Feb. 3rd, 1933. The annual mesting of the Timmins Horticultural Society was neld in the town hall on Friday, Feb. 10th, 1933. The reports; for the year before were very satisfactory and showed the soâ€" ciety had been accomplishing a very useful werk in th*> community.

He may, therefore, decide to take no more sxercis;> and try to keep his weight within reasonable limits by cutting down on his food intake. As a matter of fact, the physicians who have been advising no exercise for the middleâ€"aged and elderly have in mind that many middleâ€"aged individâ€" ual: have the idea that they "must take rsgular vigorous exercise" to keep all the bedy process in good condition. It is not that they should not exercise, because we should try to take light exâ€" ercis>, walking for instance, as long as we live: it is that they should not take "vigorous" exercise "regularly," at or after middle age. While walking or cther light exerciss gently stimulates heart, lungs, appotite digestion, and the removal of wastes, vigorous exercise can strain the heart muscle and overâ€" stretch the eliistic or musmle tissue in the bloodvessels. "Exercise improves the circulation, sweeps away the stagnant wastes of the body, creates a sense of well being which lasts for a long time afterwards and burns fat." | Fcor the normal healthy, overweight under forty who is just beginning to put on weight, vigorous exercise is necâ€" essary to decrease or prevent increase in weight. If a tennis player, he continue to play and even increase ths amount of tennis daily or three times a week. Handball, squash, badminton, and fencing are suitable because the moveâ€" ments arse fast, heat is quickly increasâ€" ed, and fat is rapidly burned. The only point to watch is that if the individual has not been playing active games for a long perisd, he (or she) should begin glowly and gradually increase the speed and the amount of exercis> taken. If attendance at a gymnasium is not possible, active exercise in the basement where some slow stationary jogging can be done, together with a brisk walk daily, will decrease weight if the inâ€" geven oCcicck, Dound IOr Ssandy where they wers entertained at the hems cf Mrs Taylor.

"(3) Agricultural workers are to be discouraged outside agriculture except in tha primâ€" ary industries indicated above. If they leave agriculture without a permit from a National Selective Service Officor contrary to the regulations they, of ccurse, lose anvy special rights to claim deferment as agricultural workers. "(4) Farm workers who apply for postponem@ent from military training are to be granted postponement until fur‘her notice, unless it is established that the applicant is not an essential worker in agriculture. The regulations, it should be noted do not require the farmer to produce proof that he is an essential farm worker. If the Board daoubts that a man is an essential farm worker, even though postponement unâ€" til further notice is given, it can alâ€" ways exercise the right to deny postâ€" ponemen* by calling such a man before the Board when established facts are presented. "(5) If a worker who upon receipt of "Orderâ€"Medical Examination" claims to be an agricultural worker but is not | considered by the Board to be essential to the cperation of a specific farm, the question then arises as to whether or not he is essential to agriculture in the district. If agricultural labour is needâ€" ed in the district, he should be given an opportunity to place himself in a position where his services would be essontial to agriculture on some other farm; or in the alternative to increase preduction of a specific farm. The Board could give a deferment for three months instead of ‘"‘granting postponeâ€" ment until further notice" in ordcr to give the man an opporntunity of finding es:i>ntial work.
