With McIntyre‘s young athletes away in the Services keeping the rest safe at home and so enjoyving this vearly day of relaxation the usual field races, jumps, etc., were conâ€" spicuously absent from the program. However, the old boys carried on with softâ€"ball and a real ball game between McIntyre and Copper Cliff. This game finishing the afternoon sports was a oneâ€"one tie game, the old boys probâ€" ably not being up to an extra inning. The whole field day program was built chiefly around entertaining the McIntyre children with races, pictureâ€" sque clowns and hundreds of bottles of pop and stacks of ice cream cones. The greatest attraction was a "Merryâ€" goâ€"Round", bought and operated by MciIintyre specially for the day. Glorâ€" ious in new coats of paint there never had been such gaily colored horses and chariots. To most of the children this was a completely new experience and from 7:30 in the mornâ€" ing until after 7 at night the rides were busy. The planned + way in which the youngsters were handled into the Merryâ€"goRound enclosure and were reluctantly herded out another gate when the ride was over was a feature. As a result there was not a mishap to any of the hundreds of children either there or indeed throughout . the grounds. The St. John‘s Ambulance tent had thus an absolutely workless day except for assisting the odd child to find lost parents. ' Grownâ€"ups found midway entertainâ€" ment at bingo, throwing balls for cigars, with all having many a laugh as the clown was many times ducked in the water tank by wellâ€"aimed balls hitting the target. A tent crowded throughout the day was one showing an elecrically operâ€" ated working model of the McIntyre shaft and an underground cut and fill stope. The little mine cage went up and down the shaft all day long and fathers were kept busy explaining from the model, to wives and children, how the real mine worked. Many of the young boys were quite fascinated by the operation of the cage, cable and The McIntyre park has never looked so green and colorful as this year and never was it enjoyed by so many picnic parties; hundreds of families taking their midâ€"day lunch under the trees or in the lunch tents. Schumacher, Aug. 9th â€"McIntyre Field Day on Monday, Civic Holiday, was the most successful so . far held. With perfect summer weather there was something doing for the McIntyre family from early morning until late at night. Don‘t miss the second annual J;. O. C. Field Day to be held Aug. 13 at the Timmins Park. It will be the biggest of its kind this year because of its large variety of games and beautiful prizes. A number of games such as volleyâ€"ball, softball, and races for boys and girls will be enjoyed by all. There will be swimmiing.

Prospects Bright on All Fronts 1 Section 8 Pages _ EChe PDorrnpine Aopantre Featured with the mine model was the Safety placard headed, "We will work Safely". That this is a McIntyre resolve was illustrated by some Mcâ€" Intyre Safety Records listed. Outâ€" standing were the records of the shift groups of Dave Bennett and Sinclair McMillan. The Bennett group‘s record which will stand comparison with any record in the world for hardâ€"rock minâ€" ing was stated as a shift group of 55 men who had worked underground for 6 years and 77 days without a lostâ€" time accident to a single one of these men. In that time they worked 100,298 continuous safe manâ€"shifts. A so far unbrokenâ€"byâ€"accident record of the McMillan group of underground track and pipe crew is that of working Tyears and 163 days without a lostâ€" time accident for a total of 92,447 conâ€" tinuous safe man shifts to the present. The "Old Guard" of McIntyre has come a long way together, has already gone down the first mile into the rock and confidently looks forward to the "second mile" when the "Outer Guard" returns victoriously from the supreme task of making Canada safe for the hundreds of happy Canadian children who so thoroughly enjoyed McIntyre Field Day.

The miniature electric lamp lighting and the details of the conâ€" struction interested all. Outstanding records of 10 other shift groups all of whom had worked safely for over 25,000 manâ€"shifts were also cited. The truth of this could be visualized even by outsiders who read McIntyre‘s list of the names of 85 men who have worked at McIntyre for over 20 years without a Compensation accident. The list was headed by the name of R. J. Ennis with 33 years With that name of the Viceâ€"President and General Manager, were those of miners, millâ€" men, mechanics, engineers and others including mine superintendent, mine captains, shift ‘bosses and other foremen. These safety records of which Mcâ€" Intyre officials and men are so justly proud were said by the placard to be the result of "complete collaboration between mine bosses and workmen". Tuesday evening small damage was done to a John W. Fogg truck befor» the firemen put the fire out. Monday morning there was a call to a Masciola Construction Co.‘s watchâ€" man‘s shack. About $75 damage was done. Mice and matches are believed to have caused this fire. The second call was on Friday for a blocked drain on the roof of a house on Birch Street South. The first call the firemen had after being nearly two weeks without an alâ€" arm was for a near drowning accident at the river on Thursday evening last. Tenâ€"yearâ€"old G:lbert Minard got into difficulties in the water and would have drowned had it not been for the prompt and able work of Guard Jerry Therriault who rescued him from the water and gave first aid. The firemen took the lad to the hospital where he soon recovered completely.

Three Rirths Registered in Timmins This Week Informative Address Given Kiwanis on the Subject of Fumigation At police court Tuesday James Kent and Joseph Arthur Vendette were charged with attempting to break and enter the Shell Service Station on Wilson Avenue. The police said atâ€" tention was first called to the men when Vendette was noticed on the sidewalk as If he were keeping watch. As the police car approached they heard a whistle, given, they believed, by Vendâ€" ette. On the ‘back of the lot police found Kent with a screw driver in his hand. There were marks on the winâ€" dow to suggest that an attempt had been made to gain entry. Window and screw driver were sent to Ottawa, and Sergt. J. A. Churchman, ballistics expert of the M. P., was positive that the marks on the window had been made by the screw driver proâ€" duced. On the stand he said that unâ€" der microscopic . examination screw drivers showed such different charecterâ€" istics and contour that it was possible to make positive identification. The defence was ‘that Kent had been changing a tire on Vendette‘s car, and Vendette was looking for some lady friends. Evidence produced by the police, however, discounted the defence to some extent. Kent was sentenced to six months, and Vendette was disâ€" missed, the evidence not being sufficâ€" ient to prove his complicity. Conviction Follows Evidence of Expert R. C.. M. P.

The man was "locked up" in double fashion. When the police went to bring him out for trial the lock refused to work and the Lockâ€" smith Servais had to be sent for and even he had a hard time getting the cell door open. The cause of the trouble was a screw loosening and dropping down in the lock, probably from too much rattling and banging of the daoor.

Proulx, of: Timmins, for twelvo years a licensed fumigator, and with twenty years experience in the work. He spoke on the importance of fumâ€" igation and his experience of its feaâ€" tures was most interesting and informâ€" ative. In his twenty years experience he had never had an accident of any kind, «and fne emphasized the imâ€" portance of the greatest care in every stage of the work, as hydrocyanic acid, the modern gas used, is a very dangerâ€" ous gas. Fumigators were heavily bonded and had to know all the peâ€" culiarities of the gas used. One of the chief dangers was due to the effect of temperature on the gas. The gas freezes easily and the greatest care had to be taken to see that rooms were really cleared of the gas. Mr. Proulx gave a long list of the vermin and pests destroyed by fumigation, includâ€" ing cockroaches, bedbugs, moths, etc. He emphasized the fact that hydrocyâ€" anic gas would not kill germs. He advised removing butter and â€" milk, but the gas had no serious effect on other foodstuffs. Sulpher and formalâ€" dyhide were used for germs. In anâ€" swer to a question Mr. Proulx said that rats were not present in Timmins the altitude and temperature making it impossible for them to live and breed here,. Mr. Proulx gave aA number of incidents from his long experience that were most interesting. Mr. Proulx was introduced by E. H. King and thanked by Phil Laporte.
