The picvuures were taken on a recent trip by Kiwanian C. P. Hammerstein, Past Lieutenantâ€" Governor of Florida District Kiwanis. Kiwanian â€" Hammerstein, of Hollyâ€" wood, Florida, is on a visit to the North, and was guest speaker at the Kiwanis here last woeek. Before opcrating his picture machâ€" ine on Monday, he made happy referâ€" ence to a fishing trip he enjoyed last week to Kenogamasse Lake. He sugâ€" gested that the section he had visited was not only notable for its fine fish, but also for the attraction and charm of its natural scenery. His .concludâ€" ing pictures proved this point.

Housing Is Solution To Labour Shortage There is a standing list of vacanâ€" tcies for nearly 200 positions at the Hollinger Gold Mines IAd. The bigâ€" gest drawback to obtaining employâ€" ees to fill the positions is the lack of living accomodation here in Timmins. The class of workmen most urgently needed are helpers and machine men. Although they would prefer exâ€" perienced men the shortage is so acute at present that the mines in this neighbourhood will employ even the most inexperienced. This cannot be met however for there is not sufficient labour available in the district and to import labour calls for houses. Until this situation is cleared there is little liklihood of the mines being able to work at capacity. At the weekly luncheon of the T The Hollinger management deny rumours that unless labour is found soon there will be an importation of displaced persons from Europe. The Hollinger is not alone in its need for labour but every mine in this camp is short according to Mr. George E. Charron,. local manager of the © National Selective Service. Jn order to assist in obtaining labour he has virtually turned to real estate.

Mayor Brunette who was attending the Dominion â€" Mayors Convention when the purchase was authorized stated that the order should be canâ€" celled and new tenders called. Counâ€" cillor Roberts agreed with the mayor that the order should be withdrawn but his reason was that the one he understod to be ordered was a three ton chassis according to the resoluâ€" tion and the purchase order while the one needed should have been on a five tonner. Published in Timmins,. Ont.. Canada EVERY THURSDAY Councillor Bartleman persisted that the one on order was a five ton ‘White‘ and when he insisted that he phone the suppliers and verify this the mayor smilingly remarked that they should bring it out into the open and keep politics out. This was sharply replied to by the councillor and after an exchange of words the town clerk was instructed to obtain the informâ€" ation. as much as $1000 on the loader alone, and also that the company who are supplying the truck had quoted the one with the lesser capacity at $145 lower than the larger. This company had supplied transportation to memâ€" bers of the council to visit Sault Ste Marie in Ontario and Michigan as well as Sudbury to see <the ‘Pack Discussion also took place regardâ€" ing the differences in the prices supâ€" mitted in the tenders. The mayor who had the figures before him pointâ€" ed out that there was a difference of well as Sudbury Loader‘ in action When a representative of the firm explained to the, council that they would receive a five ton chassis acâ€" cording to their order and that there must have been a mistake in quoting a lower price for the larger one that was to the councils advantage and following _ Bartlemans‘ explanation that there was extras in the form of doors etc., that were necessary acâ€" cording to the men who were using them Roberts withdrew his claim fos a cancellation and the council agreed to leave the order as it was without taking a vote. The call for tenders closed for the 12 cu. yard type loader on May 13th, and the mayor while accepting the wish of the council did not seem satisâ€" fied that there should be a difference in the quotations of the seven firms who submitted tenders ranging from $3915 to the $4950.08 submitted by the firm receiving the order Guilty Of Assaulting Thirteen Year Old Girl Charged with common assault Josâ€" eph Stanley Chouinard, 54 Montgomâ€" ery avenue, was found gullty of molâ€" esting a 13 year old girl in a Timâ€" mins theatre on Saturday July 19th by Actingâ€"Magistrate S. Platus, K.C in Timmins Police Court. After the charge had been read the magistrate asked the accused to plead and received the reply: "I can‘t reâ€" member. sir‘", The cadi then entered a plea of not guilty and called police evidence. On being told that the accused had been moving from seat to seat and interfering with other patrons the constable called the police station and asked for guidance. Two constables were sent to the picture house. Meanâ€" while the constable seated himse}!f behnd Chouinard and could plainly see him ‘nudging‘ the girl, and putting his hand on her knees. The accused spotted the officer and moved to a different seat but the officer had seen enough to warrant an arrest. The 13 year old girl was then called to the stand and told the same story as the constable. "He was poking me on the arm", she said. The Crown Attorney S. A. Caldbick agreed with the magistrate that the charge was not a serious one and since evidence showed that the man had been drinking the â€"magistrate found him guilty of the common asâ€" sault charge and fined him $20 and costs or 30 days. Constable Moran of the Timmins force told how he had been approachâ€" ed by the assistant manager of the theatre while himself attending the show. and told that the manager wishâ€" ed to speak to him. sTUDY THE EYES "Better to have your children grow up to enter the world of affairs with lessâ€"impressive scholastic honors, than as neurasthemcs whose whole life may have been warped in the quest for book learning.
