Ehe forcupine Mtpantre Published in Timmins, t., Canada EVERY THURSDAY One of the great and flourishing inâ€" dustries of British Columbia, said the speaker, was lumbering, the average annual production of lumber being aâ€" bout eighty million dollars. In minerals, British Columbia has great wealth, including gold, silver, coal, copper, lead and zinc. * Commercial fishing is one of the most thriving of the industries of British Columbia. Oneâ€"half of Canada‘s total production of fish is taken in British Columbia, Mr. Mennie pointed out, making special mention of the B. C. salmon, outstanding in British Columâ€" bia, and noted around the globe. While Sir Frances Drake sighted British Columbia on one of his voyages, the first white man to land on its shores was Capt. Cook who landed there in 1778. In 1790 Captain Vancouver took possession of the land for the British. Mr. Mennie referred to the fact that British Columbia was thinly populated in view of its rescurces and its adâ€" vantages. The population of this verâ€" itable paradise of a province was only 700,000. Agriculture in British Columbia might be considered as starting in 1811, anid at the present time is very flourishing, Mr. Mennie said. Agriculture in the province includes mixed farming, fruit growing, etc. British Columbia fruit travels far and has wide fame. Victoria, the capital of British Columâ€" bia was described by Mr. Mennie, as a In opening his address, Mr. Mennie referred to Rudyard Kipling‘s desâ€" cription of British Columbia at a "heaâ€" ven on earth." Mr. Mennile showed how well warranted such a description really was because of the climate, the beauty and the wonderful resources of Canada‘s farthest west province. The speaker gave the area of British Columbia as 366,000 square miles. The coast line, were it simply a straight line from point to point, would be only eight hundred miles, but so indented is the coast that the line actually is seven thousand miles. British Columbia, Mr. Mennie pointed out, has a climate that iss most attracâ€" tive, there being little variation in temâ€" perature. Unlike some other parts of Canada there are very few extremes in temperature, either high or low. The temperature varies but little, very rarâ€" ely dropping below 40 degrees above, and very rarely rising beyond 70 above. Added to this pleasing temperature, the province has great natural beauty. Fishing, game and game birds are plentiful. Fruits grow in profusion in the province. There is a wealth in lumber, in forest, stream, field and mine. These things support the Kipâ€" ling phrase of "heaven on earth." Temperature Very Seldom Below Forty -Ali‘('*;yé,.,;{andfiqu- ally Seldom Above Seventy Above Zero. Rich in Minâ€" erals. Lumbering and Fishing Flourish. Much Beauty in Province. Kiwanian Bob Mennie was the speaker at Monday‘s luncheon of the Timmins Kiwanis Club at the Empire hotel, his address being one in the series, "Canâ€" ada, My Home." He gave a most inâ€" teresting talk on British: Columbia. ;. British Columbia is Described to Kiwanis as a "Heaven on Earth" The 8th Army did it again. Rommel‘s defences on the Marcih Line were smashed and captured. General Mcntgomery used his famous outflanking movement with crushing effect at Mareth. When he saw that a frontal attack would be costly in men and materials, he switched a strong force to Matmata Mountains to jcin the assault in the enemy‘s right flank at El Hanma. Victory resulted. Many thousands of priâ€" soners, both Italian and German, and miich war equipment fell to the 8th Army.

Moisley spoke of the recent reâ€" turn of No. 10 Squadron Kiwanis Air Cadets from the Trenton Training Camp. During their stay at Trenton officers were chosen by Deputy Air Marshall McGill, four of these officers being picked from the Timmins Squadâ€" ron. Stan Andrews spoke on the Kiwanis Carnival, and also on War Savings. Dr. Lee Honey spoke on attendance, and W. H. Wilson on visiting to other clubs. President Bill Burnes was in the chair for Monday‘s luncheon. The singing was led by Kiwanian Capt. D. Church, with Harrison Flint at the piano. The visitor for the day was Major R.

This course not only will give French Canadian women the opportunity they want to serve as airwomen but will preâ€" pareé them to handle jobs:after the War which require bilingual women. The meeting was brought to a close with Benediction, by Captain D. Church Special Opportunity for Frenchâ€"Canadian Girls At the close of the address by Major Bamsey, Mrs. J.

Major Bamsey came to Timmins in honour of the 2#%th anniversary of the Salvation Army here. His address consisted of a review of the work of the Salvation Army in helpâ€" ing the boys in the services, with a sperial word of praise to the ladies working in the S. A. canteens. He also pointed out that the servicemen greatly appreciated handâ€"knitted socks, and asked for more of them. Mr. Rumble of the Upper Canada Bible Eociety at Toronto was guest at the meeting Monday. A cornet duet was given by Captain Church and Miss Pearl Wallace. Two guests for the evening, Misses @uinn and Stevens, who are in charge of the Pentecostal Assembly in the abâ€" sence of Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham, rendered very lovely musiichl selections.

Mr. E. H. King, the chairman of the newsboys section supplied all those enrolled with comâ€" piete data and gave them inspiring messages to get them started in the work. The boys went to work enthusiâ€" astically. The three main salesmen of The Advance, with only a call once a week have made a fine showing. Other daily newsboys also proved they are real stamp salesmen. The plan of proâ€" motion in the Commando Corps is based on number of War Savings Stamps sold and in appreciation of their grand, totals Mr. 5. Andrews, manager of the Broadway Theatre, has invited them to attend the theatre toâ€" night (Thursday).
