FOR MINERS ONLY «Continued from last week) All Instruwztors I would say the machine runners, hâ€"ad loadors, chute blasters, and all leadeor: taking new men down the mine should reclize that they are not only the leaders. but instructors, and responsgible for the safety and success of their new man. | For instance. a machine runner taking a new man will start leaching from the shaft collar,.

Everything Shown Wlhen they arrive at the stztion, he will show him the cage call signal, and how to call for the cage if needâ€" ed: and the danger signel, but never to ring the cage bell; show him (if the level is wet and greasy) how easy it is to slip, and to watch for switch rails; show him the safety bays: what they are for. When they arrive at the working face, the runner should take the scalâ€" ing bar, show it to him, explain what it is for; then, sound the roof. If it is drummy, he should explain t difference in sound between loose and solid ground. y Silicosis Prevention Then the man should be shown the right way to set up the machine, how to use the french square on the nut, not on the angle, which has caused many accidents, and that turning the water oxvl_ Béforé starting to drill keeps the dust count down, to prevent siliâ€" cosis tttttt The leader should explain the value of goggles when starting a hole, show him the right way to line up the machine, to get the right pitch or deâ€" gree of the holes to get a good break. and how to avoid breaking waste and loosening up and roof. The Danger Then when he has a solid roof, start scaling roof and walls toward the face. After he is setisfied that it is safe, he should connect the water hose, wash the face, roof and walls, the old bottom of holes, look for powder in the old bottoms; explain to him the danger of drilling in old boot legs â€"probably he could tell him of some one he knew, who was blinded by drilling in them. ...

Emile Brunette has been selected as chairman of the Timmins Arena Board, which will hold a meeting to ratify the selected slate of officers who in turn will.consider all factors (financial and buxldmg requirements). The meeting, for civicâ€"minded men, will be held at the Empire theatre on Sunday at 8.15 p.m. The selected board ~probably will circularize the town to find out what the people want, and the degree of support. The board is comprised of the. fol lowing: Chairman, J. Emile Brunette (sales supervisor);. viceâ€"chairman, William Shields (civil service); treasurer, H. B. Henderson.

The hall coould hold no more. Not one.. They were stand â€" ing five feet deep at both doors. | The orchestra, comprised of about 50 strings, brass, traps, xylophoneâ€" sounded uncommonly fine, smooth, never a sour note, and every child ever on the beat. A Treat Indeed It was a treat indeed to watch a dozen or so violin bows, in the hands of juveniles, all swinging in unison, a clear, sweetlyâ€"played trumpet and brass backing them up, and the traps‘ clog boxes, and pianoâ€"simple music but all smooth as syrup. They had been well â€" rehearsed. They. were not nervous. And at the end of: each number, as the last note had to be held for just so long, each young pair of eyes became affixed upon the handsâ€" of. George Jenkin, director, for the climax. This, of course, in addition to occasional glances at the director throughout each number. The "tumblers," a gymnastic disâ€" play staged by pupils of Moneta School, under the direction of H. R. Bielek, was smartly done upon a mat upon the stage. The climax comprisâ€" ed seven girls lying prostrate side by side. Across their backs a boy would dive headlongâ€"clear them allâ€"justâ€" and turn a somersault at the other side The seven girls were gradually inâ€" creased to eleven, which necessitated 4 dive of about eight feet, which was duly performed by several of the boys, although berhaps one or two cuffed the back of the end girl ,(eyes shut) once or twice. ‘ The choir, boys on one side, girls on the other; girls singing first, then both, then with the orchestra, â€" all _ eyes being rivetted upon Mr. Jenkin throughout â€"_a great pleasure : to watch and hear, particularly "Jealâ€" ousy‘" and "The Bells of St. Mary‘s." The soloists, Joe Kremyr and Rita Cappadocio, both relished the program very much. Joe isâ€"it would seemâ€" a backbone to the orchestra. And Rita once she got goingâ€"with "Jealousy" â€"inhibitions fell away and her fine treble voice filled the hall. j The program was too short. One felt inclined to listen until midnight. As a business man belongs to his family, a monk belongs. to his "order," this particular order being that of| St. Francis, about which the Pope once had a dream, affirmed Father Osias. The Pope dreamed that the Roman Church was falling down, actually in ruins, while some man was trying to hold it up. I "That man was St. Francis," he went on, "and he started this order, We are zll of his family. There are about 40,000 of us in all the world. Our main job is to preach for the people. We preach them to love God. And then we teach them how to teach others to"love God." Where does the money come Irom to run the monastery? f "People give to us. We go and ask them for slims. Rich and poor. They give us enough. We don‘t need much." You are allowed to read anything you wish. > \*Yes, anything." _ But suppose the Roman Church was overthrown by the Government,. as it was in France some years ago, and suppose you were thrown out into the world alone, what would you do? "We don‘t need much," ‘he said, "we need very little: We could always do enough and people would give us enough to subsist upon when we askâ€" ed for it." Timmins Arena Proposals the money come from THURSDAY, MARCH 23rd 1950 presentatives of Service Clubs, Church groups, Labour representatives, and Town Council, to consider the need for a rink for the Town of Timmins. _ Position Favorable TFis would be a public rink, operâ€" ated particularly ‘to accommodate and occupy the thousands of: youth and young people in our community. We believe such a rink will pay for its ioperation. particularly if there is a small debenture issue. An investigation of other rink reâ€" cords, in communities smmaller than Timmins. indiilates that we are in a favourable position in this regard. There are few, if any, towns in Ontario of 5,000 population that do not operate a rink. Timmins, with apâ€" proximately 27.000, 4u per cent of whom are underâ€"21l years of age, 65 per cent under 40 years of age, is extremely hockey and skating minded, and with no winter facilities to speak ‘of could keep a rink occupied® to the i fullest extent. It is proposed that a seven man board be set up comprlsmg appoinâ€" tees from Public. Separate and High School Boards, Council, Labour, and Serice Clubs to operate the arena. Over 300 Use Excursion Leafâ€"Black Hawk Game Approximately 300 from‘ Timmins attended the Leafâ€"Black Hawk game in Toronto over the weekend and everything went well as planned. Karl Eyre introduced the Moneta officials on the ice, just before the game, and they in turn made the presentations to "Pep" Guidolin and Bill Barilko. And then Toronto won, 2â€"1. Irish Stew; Immigrants ; Dear Songs of Old Erin The programme committee of the Timmins Kiwanis Club had absolute proof of the traditional ‘"Mck of the Irish" in the St. Patrick‘s Day. event presented at the, luncheon at the Emâ€" pire hotel on Monday. For liyveliness, interest, ‘information: and goodsense, it was outstanding. ' V eE n The dining room was fully decoratâ€" ed for the occasion, all the tables beâ€" ing gay in green and. white, with candles in potato holiders, napkins in shamrock designs, and three handâ€" some little pigs gracing the head table with their china forms held in place by green ribbons. “ Irish Stew The Empire hotel upheld its part of the programme, providing a special Irish repast that featured Irish stew land other foods as good as the Irish. The community singing:for the day was all â€" Irish, with special song sheets being used. One of the extra specials on the song sheet was "Jack Downey‘s Band," with â€" music and words along the line of the famous "McNamara‘s Band." Past President " 223. d Th B on dnc e en community singing, with Secretary W H. Wilson at the piano, but for the grand finale of this part of the proâ€" gramme the assistance of Ted Bartâ€" lett was required, these three musiâ€" cians leading the gathering in a harâ€" monious rendition of the Irish bagâ€" pipes as given by male voices. The Dear Songs of Old Erin The programme was even more forâ€" tunate in the serious part of the musiâ€" cal programme for the day., having a gifted vocalist, G. W. Burfett,, sales manager of CKGB, Timmins, who presented a number of Irish songs to the entire delight of all present. The numbers given in talented way included: "Believe Me. If All Those Endearing Young Charms," "I‘ll See You Home Again, Kathleen," and "A Little Bit of Heaven." Bob Nelson introduced the singer, and the thanks of the club were exâ€" pressed by Frank Joyce. And the Irish Are Eloquent The good luck of the Irish certainly held in the choice of the speaker for the. Rev. John A. Callaghan was the guest speaker. His theme was: "The Influence of St. Patrick on World Opâ€" inion."© tb mm mssn mm ! The guest speaker touched on the influence St. Patrick had on the Irish people, and through them on the world at lerge. The United States and Canada benefitted ‘more than ggnerâ€" . ally understocd from , this influence, though its effects were worldâ€"wide. Mention w a s made of the great French marshal, McMahon, and the outstanding Russian admiral with the Irish name and andustry. Education Featured Xithough St. Patrick was not a highly educated man himself, he did a remarkable work in holding high the lamp of learning in Europe. When Rome crumbled, in what is known as the Dark Ages, it was Ireland and Constantinople that kept the light of education. The speaker pointed out that never conquered Ireland, and that other conquerors, or apparent conâ€" (Continued on page five) pointed out that Rome ; e game, and Unemployment has now reached presentations : its peak and will henceforth begin to Bill Barilko. | decline, declares George Charron, Emâ€" 2â€"1. ployment Service manager. Church ,â€" Investigation by the provisional s, and |committee indicates that the building e need | should be 125‘ x 250‘, ice surface 85 x 185’ seating 2000, standing 800 â€" 1000, with artificial ice, to cost $150,000 â€" $200,000. It is expected that a major portion of this amount will be raised by public subscription. Two recent exâ€" amples: Simcoe, 7,000 population, raised $115,000, and issued debenâ€" tures for $65,000; Wallaceburg, 5,000 population, raised $175,000 by publit subscription. From the recent experience of many towns in Ontario, all much smaller than Timmins, it would seem that a larger rink is justified, however the committee feel that it may be desirâ€" able to have rink smaller than population requirements to fully guarantee a sound financial operation. Money Back, Ifâ€" To further guarantee a sound finâ€" ancial operation the committee feel that unless 75 per cent of the total cost can be raised (a maximum deâ€" benture of $50,000) by public subâ€" scription, the monies so raised should 'ibe returned to the doctors, or plans for â€" smaller arena be considered.

What both sides say stems chiefly from the fact that there is as yet no direct road from the end of Toke Street to the school; that the interâ€" vening property is private (298 feet across ), belonging to Gauthifer Gauthier: and that, consequently, enâ€" trance to the school Patricia boulevard, will be some three blocks longer. "Air Lift" One authority suggested that the children be taken in by Air Lift. The Council contends that it is a bad site for a school; that it is foundâ€" ed on rock,. inaccessable to town sewâ€" age; and that a rightâ€"ofâ€"way (direct, off the end of Toke) should have been considered before the land was bought.

Potatoes, Cheese, Milk And Discouraged Farmers By Mrs. C. R. Weir The Black River Township area covers 300 square miles, with a popuâ€" lation of 2,765. The revenue apart from the Government Grant is $55,000 to $60,000. In the total assessment there are the Ross Mine properties and numerous other holdings whick will at some future date become active, if the Gold Standards were satisfactory and zoads made accessible to the properties. Then,. if the Black River township acâ€" quires the four adjacent townships, (as > every indication â€" points?} the Mathesonâ€"Quebec highway (no. 101) will be invaluable. Some Suitable Lots There are ‘a total of 690 vacant lots in the township, of which 90 are vaâ€" cant Crown lots suitable for location. of these perhaps 20 would be swampy or rocky property. The 600 lots would be unimproved lots with no buildings, of these, apâ€" proximately 200 are for sale. it is anâ€" other question regarding the nuimber of vacant farms, some with fairly $4,700 Lot Bought With Little Cash and Security The following motions were carâ€" ried by the*Town Council this week: Will Not Be Tolerated The Clerk be instructed to warn people against using Timmins council chambers for meetings that attack reâ€" ligious or racial groups; that it will not be tolerated; and that the Clerk refuse admission to any organization vidolating this request.
