The Achievement Report for 1946 was prepared by pastâ€"president Evans and secretary Jamieson. Their first report. Kiwanian Evans said, came to 4.000 words, \which they boiled down and. condensed to approxiâ€" mately 1680 words. This will be forâ€" warded to the Kiwanis lnternational for competiltive purposes. Mr. Evans said he believed a brief and concise report would be easier to read aind more appreciated by the final judges. "The Achievement Reâ€" port," he said, "is a written history of the Kiwanis efforts in child and municipalâ€" welfare for the year. It is a condensed inventory we can start from at the beginning of each year and will serve as an inspiration and guide to new and future Kiwanian executives, "The report.! he continued, "is compiled â€" from monthly committee reports, and I wish all committees would oblige by submitting facts, inâ€" cluding only the number engaged in each activity., the money spent and the number benefitted." 4 The pastâ€" pic,idont suggested the kecping of a diary at tho playgrounds so the number of children present could be recorded and which type of _ MELVYN DOUVGLAS LIONEL BARRYMORE FREDDIE BARTHOLOMEW "Lawless Plus .

One top day last year they laid 332 {ft. of pipe. At present there sre two wells in operation at the artesian springs and the water is pumped by two small 25 h.p. motors, each capable of pumping 250 gallons of water per iminute. An auxiliary gasoline pump is installed in case of a power cutâ€" offâ€" or emergency. The new well which was opened in 1945 by ‘the International Water Supâ€" ply Co. is not being used, though it will under the new setâ€"up. It has a capacity of 600 gallons per minute. All the weter used is subterrancan. Bedâ€"rock in the wells is reached at 52 ft and above it is a perfect natural filter bed of sand and gravel which ensures the purity and «safety of ~the water.

The pumps are controlledâ€"automaticâ€" ally by an altimeter gauge regulated in the 50,008 gallon reserve tank on the pipe line about 3‘ miles: from South Porcupine. + It is eventually intended to create an artificial lake over the wells for. a reservoir, which can be accomplished by the building of â€"an 800 ft. long dam across the end of a natural basin. This would estzblish a lake about 10 feet deep and roughly a mile square and would serve as an adeqate. reservoir for both South Porcupine, Schumache‘ and the mines which are served by the wells. With the new pipeâ€"line, the artificial lake and ‘the installation of the twoâ€" million gallon reserve tank near Schuâ€" macher it is expected that fire insurâ€" ance rates in both South Porecupine and Schumacher would undergo an apâ€" preciable reduction. At present South Porcupine has two waterâ€"pipe lines along nearly every street in the town, providing considerâ€" able protection â€"~against fire.

Longmore (Continued from Page One) The Porcupine Advance Members of the Bachelor‘s Club were hardly seated for their regular dinner meeting when Helmsman Nick came hustling in. a rather worried louk on his usually smiling face. Grabbing a seat without removing his bat he blurted out to no one in particular, "I wonder if Dr. Blatz will psychoâ€"analyize me when he comes to Timmins next week. I think I‘m pgoing nuts." Guardsmen Jerry and Max looked at me another and nodded. They had been waiting on a job for a long time. Being a guard is no fun when you haven‘t anyone. to guard. "Just what is your trouble?*" inâ€" quired Bachelor : Ken, his face worâ€" ried as he gazed at brother Helmsman Nick as if he expected him to go into a psychological {fit. "You heard of this Jack the Snipâ€" perâ€"who is going around cutting off girls locks in Boston." began Nick. "Well, the other day I was sitting here wahiting on my soup and admiring the tresses of a lovely blonde at the next table. of a sudden I found my nail scissors in my hand edging for the girl‘s hair. I was hypnotized. She just turned in time or I might have snipped off _ half her lovely locks.‘"" Perspiration was breaking out on Helmsman Nick‘s brow. â€"He was laboring under a strong emotion. "Every few minutes I found my scissors hand wandering towards her head.. Only the waitress arrival savâ€" ed: it I just: couldn‘t help myself. "When she got up to leave I found myself following her," the perturbed bachelor went on. "I even forgot to pay my bill I was so mesmerized with that. blonde hair." ‘ "Didn‘t she wear a hat,." observed bachelor Phil, always a hound for detail. "She did,"" replied Nick, "but unâ€" fortunately it was one of those knitâ€" ted noodle affairs that just covered the top of her noodle and left the blonde hair flowing out over her coat." + The bachelors leaned closer. "Then what happened?" piped up bachelor Sam from a back seat. Porcupine Lake for fire protection. Thus the lake water never gets mixed with the highly rated well water. In 1946 South Porcupine used 354 callons of the spring water per capita per day, which, while seemingly sonâ€" siderable, is hardly half the 120 galâ€" lons per capita per day other cities and towns in Canada average. The new pipe line should boostâ€"consumpâ€" tion quite a bit besides giving South Porcupine a water system and high rrade domestic water that few places in the Dominion can equal.
