The danger of the gasoline tanks of the trucks and tractor exâ€" ploding made it too dangerous to risk a man‘s life trying to bring them out. With the horses it was differâ€" ent, and the firemen and men from the mill dove into the smoke and flames to bring out six frenzied horsâ€" es, Of the otherâ€"six which were panic stricken‘ beyond control, four were put out of pro!onged misery and eventual: death. The Jdoss at the Mountjoy Timber Co. was estimated at $15,000; the Bouchard loss at $20,000. The origin of both fires is unknown. Each took about two hours fighting.

Jack Bridges and his orchestra supâ€" plied the music for the gala affair. ~â€" The McIntyre Arena was the scene of a very merty New Year‘s Eve dance when hundreds of holiday funâ€"makers joined in to usher the old year out and greet the new. The old year was repâ€" resented by a doddering old man and 1947 by a dimpled cherub; who stole the hearts of the audience.

He outlined the development of a National Association of Foremen of America with a membership of 100,000 sponsored by the Y.; of the Dominion Council of Foremen, also sponsored by the Y, with over 7,000 members in Canada. Mr. Ferguson also mentioned the movement now underway to have a local foreman club formed under the sponsorship of the He spoke of the development of a new type of foreman in industry.

The chief reason was ascribed to the® afâ€" fluence of people who wanted homes and were willing to pay the prices asked.

Miss Helen Synos rendered a number of beautiful vocal selections and also sang several duets with talented Ron Jones. Jim Mcâ€" Lellan garbed in his kilts played some Scottish gagirs on his bagpipes, and Miss G. gave a lively tap dance, dressed in a quaint costume for the occasion. An impressive clarinet duet was given by Mike Papone and little nineâ€"year old Frank Pasian, a coming prod‘@szy on the clarinet. George Hamâ€" elin demonstrated his talents by playâ€" ing both the guitar and harmonica at the same time, and also rendered a number of cowboy songs. Without an exception the ladies were formally attired, with many of the men Mrs. Bill Shields, the former Margâ€" aret Easton, who is renowned for her dancing talents, performed a highland fling, much to the delight of the onâ€" lookers.. ..â€" A. personage resembling cupid held a place of honor at the front of the ballroom, and he came into his own on the stroke of midnight. To herald in the New Year two honestâ€"toâ€"goodness bagpipers played their. reeds. The merrymakers joined in a grand march to the martial tunes, and the year 1947 was ushered in, in a fitting style. Kinsmen Des Mapplebeck, Gordon ‘Dawes and Henty Kelneck deserves a great deal of credit for their excellent .plamnng and considerable effort that they put into making the affair the success.that it was. The tables that circled the floor were covered with heavy tinsel paper with a diagonal candy stripe of red and silver across them. Everything that could be desired to make a pleasâ€" ant evening was provided, from cigarâ€" ettes, noisemakers, novelties and balâ€" loons to a fullâ€"course turkey dinner, served in the dining room. Many deliâ€" casies including celery, olives, pickles and turkey sandwiches were served at the tables in the ballroom. : Never. before have we seen such wonderful decorations as the result achieved by Miss Nadyne Smith, a very talented local lass who is always on call to heln with designing and paintâ€" ing decorative schemes for gala afâ€" fairs. A bevy of beautiful girls, Varga and otherwise, with shades of long hair to please any man‘s taste, and terrific gowns, covered the walls in pairs. Some were "doing the bicycle", dsngling colored balloons on their toes. To keep the spirit of things up, pink eleâ€" phants paraded across the walls. ‘The months of the year in silver were set in each panel, ushering out the old year, and behind the orchestra "Happy New Year‘"‘ was printed in large silver letters. A charming effect was made by a large threeâ€"tiered fountain in the centre of the ballroom, with each tier sprinkling a haze of water, over a row of colored bulbs, into the font. The Kinsmen Club of Timmins sponâ€" sored â€" another extremely successful dance on New Year‘s Eve, with their usual ingenious ideas coming to the fore again. The dance was held in cabaret style in the Empire Hotel to the music of The Western Gentlemen of Ron Jones. Kinsmen Club Dance Was Very Sucessful seven men were aboard a twinâ€"engined aircraft which <plunged into the iceâ€"clogged St. Lawrence river. Three of the men were brought ashore by nlane after being exposed on the ice for 54 hours. Another survivor was rescued Christmas night,, two more were rescued after 70 hours and the seventh from a Parisian style show. MAROONED PLANE SURYIVORS RESCUED FROM ST.

Mustard exâ€" pressed the thanks of the club for the thoughful and stirring address and pald tribute to the years of service givâ€" en in Timmins by Adjutant Church. President G. N. Ross added his perâ€" sonal thanks to the speaker. Visitors for the day were :L. B Johnston, of Cannington, and J. P Downey, Timmins. Another special thought that he left with the gathering was the suggestion that it would be a good: idea to have a hostel here for the benefit of those who happened to be standed here. On one recent Sunday, he said, the Salâ€" vation army had cared for fourteen of these unfortunates. Another day, there had been .eighteen looked after at the police station. He felt very strongly that police cells or jungles were not the place for these young men, nor did he think that soup kitchens were the answer. These young men often were cases of fine young fellows coming to town, possibly with all their money taken up by train fare. Unless they secured immediate ~work, <~they were necessarily in difficulties. They wers not tramps or bums, but usually fine young fellows, often from the farms, who had no other fault except to run into hard luck. The Salvation Army did all it could in such cases, but withâ€" out a hostel the proper accommodation could not be provided. In introducing the speaker for the day, Kiwanian Al. Wadge referred to the valuable social service given by Adjutant Church. ‘There was humour, interest and inspiration in the address by Kiwanâ€" ian Douglas Church, Adjutant, S. A., at the weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis Club at the Empire hotel on Monday. "We are about to enter. the month of January," he said, "the month of takâ€" ing inventories, the month named in honour of the twoâ€"faced god of the ancients, the god that faced two ways â€" to the past and the future." Reâ€" ferring to an article in the current isâ€" se of The Readers‘ Digest, Adjutant Church pointed to the fact that toâ€"day there was genuine hunger in the world for "the things of the spirit." Men and women were not satisfied with mere physical advantages, but desired something more. "There is the greatâ€" est nedd toâ€"day for firm faith," he said. : District Needs 700 Men _ In Lumbering Industry _ Holiday Fires Very Few The first call came in New Year‘s day morning from 106 Elm St. South, when a piece of gyproc which had been used <to block an unused pipe hole caught fire and caused slight damage to the wall before being extinguished. The second call was shortly after noon hour from 458 Cedar St. South, when oil overflowed from an oil burnâ€" er.into the pan beneath and caught fire. No damage resulted. Prior to New Years day Timmins police enjoyed a week without having to arrest a single drunk. New Years day saw the end of policemen‘s unâ€" expected rest when they rounded up four allegedly intoxicated revellers. Only three small fires occurred over the New Year holiday season, Acting Fire Chief Jimmy Morton reported, none causing damage of any extent. The.last call came later in the afterâ€" noon when overheated pipes at 40 Messines street caught fire. The fire was under control before any damage could beâ€"done. Hostel For Timmins Kiwanis Advised "We are certainly pleased at the small number of fires," Acting Fire Chief Jimmy Morton said, "and we have reason to believe that people are taking more® precautions these days than ever before.

To quote a recent instance; one of our stenographers was offered a private secretary‘s jobjat a much higher salâ€" ary than she received here. She deâ€" clined, chiefly> because she wouldn‘t have the same contact with the public in the new job." There‘s something in the work gets in your blood." _ "It‘s a record we‘re very proud*'qi.lz Mr. Charon said. "There‘s a certa pleasure derived from getting men loâ€" cated that you don‘t get in other typea of work; and there‘s a special pleasure when we make what we call a perfect placment. That‘s fitting a chap into 2 job that he likes and makes a sucâ€" cess of. I think the placement officer that was responsible gets as much kick out of it as the chap himself, For the nast two years the National Employment Service in Timmins has been placing around 1200 men a month in jobs. "The difficulty," Mr. Charon sald, "is that there are too many tourist in the country and have been for some time. By tourists I mean chaps who will have some . company pay theb,'- transportation. for a considerable cuanfi_ tance when the chap has no intention of going to work for that particular company at all. It‘s quite a problem and something that will have to be. solvecd gradually." : Concen}mg theâ€" t,rahspox tation cost, Mr. Charon said the Federal governâ€" ment, through the* National: Employâ€" ment Service, was footing the bill. When asked ifvthe government would foot bills to move other employees to jobs in other parts of the country, Mr. Charon said that at present.it was not being done, though, arrangzements were being made with the employer to work out some way of arranging or pdying,' for the transportation of his new emâ€" ployee. hm "Over 7 per cent of the applicants who apply for work through this office are willing to accept work in the mines or lumber camps," Mr. G. E. Charon, manager of the Nationat Employment Service Bureau in Timmins, said in an interview with the Advance reportâ€" er yesterday. "Most of these lads," continued Mr. Charon,. "are yours chaps that have been in the ~services. Not: having worked â€" at anything in particular beâ€" fore they joined up, they naturally didn‘t have a" job to go back to after discharge. And, there just wasn‘t enâ€" ough industries in that part Nomg‘ Scotia‘to ahsorb these lads." - Mr. Charon‘s district extends from Raymore to Smooth Rock Falls, and from James Bay to Lorraine on the Quebec border. ‘"Most ol the lads coming to this district looking for work," continued Mr. Charon, "know that mining and lumbering are the main industri¢s. Regarding the intended influx. of. men coming to this district from Nova Scotia to work in the mines, Mr. Charâ€" on ~said that this was more in the. nature of an experiment and thut the number would likely be around 75 for this district. "The biggest problem is getting suflâ€" ficient experienced men which the mines and lumber camps require. The war caused a shortage of experienced men in these industries just the same as any other, and these industries, especially the mines, can only handle a limited number of inexperienced men at one time, otherwise they would run into difficulties." When asked about the number of vacancies open in the district ‘Mr. Charon said the only accurate figures available were those for the lumber business, â€"which need approximately 700 men. The intake of men in the mining industries is limited according to the number of green men the mines can work with at one time. Some trades in mining require up to two years of training before the worker can be called experienced. $ Single Copyâ€"Five Cents where to get
