Ban%uet Held to Celebrate Return Among the long list of speakers for the evening were Mayor J. E. Brunetts, J. iP. Bartleman, Dr. A. McInnis, Councillors Bonhomme and Gladstone, President L. Nicholson of the iCanaâ€" dian Legion, President A. W.Pickering of the Timmins Red Cross, President J. F. Parker of the Timmins C.C.F.. Club, J. W. Lieberman of the Timmins Civil Liberties League, and the representaâ€" tives ‘of the many New Canadian orâ€" ganizations. All the speakers congratâ€" ulated the Ukranian Farmer and La=â€" bour Temple Association on the reâ€" turn to them of their hall in Timmins. Some Oof the speakers thought this return should have been made sooner. Some suggested that the ban should never have been placed on the Assoâ€" ciation at all. Dr. J. A. McInnis, howâ€" ever, pointed out that it was not right to blame the authorities for â€"taking the hall or for banning of the association, for the propaganda and attitude of some had really been responsible for the action of the authorities in the matter. As usual with such events the banâ€" quet was a notable one for its bounty and the hospitality shown. Large Attendance at Event Sunday Evening. of Ukrainian Hall There was a large attendance Sunâ€" day evening at the hall on Mountjoy street south, recently known as the Lions hall, but previous to the war the preperty of the Ukrainian Farmer and Labour Temple Association. Early in the war, the~ Ukrainian Farmer and Labour Temple Association was deâ€" calred an illegal and subversive organâ€" ization and the property of the assocâ€" intion throughout Canada was placed |n the care of the Custodian of Enemy Property. Some months ago the govâ€" ernment lifted the ban on the assocâ€" iation and eventually it was decided to reéturn the properties to the former swners. ‘The banquet onâ€"Sunday evenâ€" ing was to celebrate this event.
