Miss Austin opened the show by inâ€" troducing all the visiting students of the summer skating school to the audâ€" ience. Each one as introduced did a figure or two. This was much appreâ€" clated by all present. Dance numbers by the more adept pupils was a highlight as was also the trio by Misses Sandul, Tomkinson and Kittner of the P. 8. C. The complete programme as planned with the music as played so competently by the McIntyre Concert Band under the direction of lieut. J. W. S. Lomas was as follows: 1. Overture, McIntyre Band under the direction of Lieut. J. Lomas "Miliâ€" Mildred Verbik, of the local club, is another who features in her solo, fast spins and jumps. Mildred gave a great show and received plaudits of the crowd for her performance. Among the younger students the Gratton Sisters, Barbara and Elizaâ€" beth, Miss Jean Ross, the tot with the long plaited hair. Miss Patsy Scully, Joyce Salo, formerly of the PS.C. but now of Sudbury, all showed great imâ€" provement and were pleasing items on the programme. The most pleasing item on the proâ€" gramme was the solo by sixâ€"yearâ€"old Zandra Harrison of Sault Ste. Marie. ‘This little tot gowned in a beautiful pink silk dress, with hair band and socks to match, gave a display of the bunny hop and forward sparrow in her exhibition.â€" Her attractive smile won the hearts of all and the audience gave her a big happy round of applause as she curtseyed from the ice. Mr. Nigel Stephens, men‘s champion of Canada for 1943, showed his great talent in special exhibition figures. Mr. EStephens is not a skater who features the jumps and spins of the maJorlty, but rather prefers the more intricate footâ€"work. His performance on Moâ€"â€" aay gave skatingâ€"lovers a great display of the finer and most difficult routines of the figureâ€"skating art. Faysa McCarthy, lady champion of Canada for 1940, was recalled for two encores after her first solo display, her aptanding spin drawing loud and proâ€" longed applause. Miss McCarthy is one of the fastest in this routine and reâ€" minded one of the great Sonja Heine. Mildred Verbik, of the local club, is Those from the Porcupine Skating club who showed championship class were:â€"Gordon Paul and Jaqueline Byers, John O‘Donnell and Mary Lou Landreville, both in pair numbers and Mildred Verbik in a very difficult solo performance.

"Anne" is booked to go far in the figureâ€"skating world. Ice Show of the MclIntyre Field Day Proves to be Outstanding Success The big event of the McIntyre Pield Day on Civic holiday, Monday, August 2and, was the Ice Show, put on by the students of the Summer Skating School under the supervision of Miss Madge Austin, professional instructress of the Porcupine Skating Club. The MciIntyre Arena was jammed to the doors and it is estimated that over 2,500 persons were in attendance. The show which was carried through in very snappy and efficient manner could be reâ€"named under the title "Parade of Champions," six champion figureâ€"skaters being on the programme, with all others on the hill being up and coming champions.

Evans pointed out that she was a bona fide guest having engaged the room early in the evening. He argued that the fact that she did not have baggage was explained by the fact that she lived nearby the hotel. The police said that there was no effects belonging to Mrs. Giroux in the room when they visited it and that Mrs. Giroux had told them she had no baggage. ‘On the stand in her own behalf Mrs. Giroux said that she had asked for the room shortly after six o‘clock in the evening, her own room being too hot for comfort.. She had only taken her handbag with ‘ her, she said, because she was so near her own home and only intended to I stay the one night, but in her handbag she had her pyjamas, brush and comb, etc. The magistrate said she was enâ€" titled to the benefit of any doubt and dismissed the case.

Indeed, there have been few accusations of "padding" lists in this province. If any charge were suggested here about lists of voters, it would likely come from some of the hundreds of people in the riding who found that they had no vote because they were not on the votâ€" ers‘ lists, Any breach of regulations here would take the form of leaving names off the lists, and that was not done purposely, for about as many Liberals, those of any other pariy lost their votes.

Fleming, Main street resident, reports that a black walnut tree, plantâ€" ed shortly after the big fire of 1922, is bearing nuts this. season with every prospect of them maturing in good shape. The tree was set out, he said, by J. H. McKinley, who at one time lived next door to Mr. Fleming, but this is the first time in the 20 years since it was planted that it has borne nuts. Black Walnut Tree at Haileybury Bears Nuts "It is impossible at this stage to give | anything like an accurate figure in reâ€" | gard to proxies, but I think 10,000 is a ‘ reasonable estimate," said an official at the city hall. "Some ridings have reâ€" ceived a heavy flow of applications, while others have had few proxies. I believe there will be less than 2.000 proxies for the Toornto and York ridâ€" ings.‘" The election board at city hall has received 859 proxies since July 26. Prior to that date a number of proxies were received by the ordinary court of reâ€" vision. There are 17 election boards in York County, one in each of the 13 city and four York ridings. The 10,000 figure is based on the number of Torâ€" onto and Yorks proxies received to date. The election boards will remain open until about 6 p.m., election day to reâ€" ceive the lastâ€"minute applications from holders of proxies, and to rectify any errors. Estimate Election Boards Received 10,000 Proxies Toronto, Aug 4th. â€" The total numâ€" ber of overseas proxies received by Ontario election boards will not exceed 10,000, according to an unofficial tabuâ€" lation made last night. Ontario has approximately 130,000 active service members overseas. The three other accused are Leonard Ssullivan, Pearl Kugelmass and Max Robin, who all pleaded not guilty to similar charges previously. They are scheduled to be tried this week.

(Lethbridge Herald) Leo Dolan, director of the Dominion Tourist branch, at Ottawa, is credited with making the suggestion that the highway to Alaska shouldn‘t be openâ€" ed for tourist traffic, after the war, until the road is in proper condition and there are facilities of the proper kind for travelling along its entire length. That to use seems to be good sense,. Nothing would harm the route as much amongst tourists, if their first trip over it left an adverse impression providing them with reasons to criticize the highway and the accommodations available. acre of land can raise enough fish after a year to meet his family demands. ‘"That shows there‘s more to Victory gardening than vegetables," Mr. Quinn says.

The resolution demanded that all responsible, from the highest to the lowest, for starting the war and perpetrating atrocities he brought to justice. (Sheffield Telegraph) A resolution blaming the German people, equally with their Government, for the war and all the atrocities comâ€" mitted in the occupied countries by the German armies was passed, by 65 votes against 24, by branch chairmen and branch secretaries of the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation in No. 3 Division. Believe the Whole German People are Blameworthy Armed with machineâ€"guns, hand grenades and automatice pistols they rushed inside and crashed with wild shouts into the little dining room where the two Britishers were still sipping coffee. One of the filyers wiped his mouth carefully with his napkin, rose calmily and said: ‘"The enemy, I preâ€" sume!" 1 There the two were treated to a fine dinner which even included genuine coffee procured from some mysterious source. The celebration was well unâ€" der way before the Germans got wind of it. Soon tanks, trucks and artillery were thundering through the narrow streets. The hotel was surrounded and a carefully selected squad of Storm Troopers was assigned to storm the place. (News of Norway). When their plane became disabled over ‘Norway two British fiyers had to take to their parachutes.

The special guest speaker at the Timmins Kiwanis Club at their reguâ€" lar weekly luncheon in the Empire hotel on Monday of this week was Mr. Pat Larmer. Mr. Larmer, who has been at the Hollinger for a considerable number ofyears, spoke on the subject, "Safety in Mechanical Haulage," a subject in which he may be classed as an expert. He dealt with his subject in very interesting and effective way. The address proved not only that he knew his subject thoroughly, but also that he had the ability to make it both intéresting and informative. Members present, who may have felt beforehand that the subject dealt with might prove uninteresting, soon found that Mr. Larâ€" mer‘s knowledge, experience and skill made his address one of very special interest and value. um mm mm : ces oo omm um omm cmemene: on usmm : ce â€" on Visitor for the day was Kiwanian Vincent Woodbury, of Timmins and Texas.
