SPRIN There is a b weather these d a it. Good evening all you good people. I‘m sorry their was no column last â€"Fifth form students finished their exams last week about Tuesday, and consequently the golf links and tennis courts along with the trout streams have more than been patronized the post weekend. All in all the outdoors has claimed the aitention of practiâ€" cally everyone. An accumulation of openings and endings along with the sudden spell of warm wecther has produced a genâ€" eral lackadazical atmosphere around the school (This atmosphere hasn‘t seemed to hit the teachers yet inciâ€" dentally. SPRING AT LAST k There is a bit of warmth in the weather these days that makes it feel, like spring. There is that smell of fresh However, even with all these sym. tons of spring, I would not say that it had arrived, were it not for the fact that the students are attending school as if it were spring! green gross and budding trees that makes it smell like spring. The birds are back, and to the ear come their cheerful songs, along with many other sounds of spring. people just seem to get all the space. The Red Dean sort of squeezed me ut last week, so this week we will just have to cram the events of two weeks into one and make the best of it. week, but you know how it is.

It is expected that the new junior membership fee to be inaugurâ€" ated this year will enable many to participate in this great sport who formerly were unable. This new low membership fe e will entitle the juniors to more privileges, the only drawback being that they will be reâ€" stricted to certzin hours. It is felt that this step will most definitely create a general allround interest in this healthy invigourating game of skill. .~â€"â€" CHOIR AND: ORCHESTRA : It has become the custom nowadays to think of something extra important when thinking .of spring. This someâ€" thing extra important must be assoâ€" ciated with spring. That something important is the annual. Timmins High and School Choir and Orchestra Spring Concert. People of the Porcupine have come to recogâ€" nize this outstanding musical extraâ€" vaganza as the musical treat of the season. Last year if you remember there were a few novelty numbers and skits such as "Buttons and Bows." Those attending the Christmas concert will remember santa claus and all his finâ€" iglings. Now although de don‘t proâ€" mise you santa clause this time, we do promise all these other things and also promise the best concert yet. It vrill have the usual classical muâ€" sic pleasantly mixed with the modern and the traditional folk tunes, along with a few soloists. I cannot too highly recommend this outstanding musical treat of the season. Be sure and get your tickets early and assure yourself of a good time on the night of Tuesday May 30th. If you don‘t beâ€" lieve spring has arrived, of you think this is an awful country, too cold one, day and too hot the next, 1f you feel sad and depressed â€" yes eéven if you feel fine, attend this concert, for it will cheer the depressed and enthrall the merry! A WORD TO MOTHERS This is just a word to the many mothers who have such an interest in the school and especially in those atâ€" tending hte schcol. We hope that Moâ€" ther‘s Dey was all that it should have been and that the recent good turn of weather on that day will actually herald in spring. It seems fitting that the season known for love, joy and should be ushered in on that day dedicated to the person that is love joy and happiness raound the home â€" the mothers. ATHLETIC AWARDS The second list of award winners this week were presented with their awards in assembly. Jaock Foster and Steve Clapuschuck received school sweaters and letters for establishing records in last years track and field meet. Congratulations to all those boys. For several of them, their sports careers have closed as far as Timmins High is concerned. Never theless I‘m sure that when they go on to higher institution of learning next year, they will make their mark as they have done here and that they will be an honour and a credit to Timn of Th overy ing I that. I t1 you â€" pleas night O m a r Carbinneau received a sweater and letter for basketball while, Bob Charrette, Carl Dukeshire, â€"ack Belec, and Norm Peterson, each received a star for basketball to add to their sweater and letter. Norm Lillie received his sweater and letter for skiing. Norm won the downhill at the Nossa meet this year. Garth Brillinger received a star to add to and letter for skiâ€" ing also. Should the N.O.H.A. break away the »«situation will be changed though and locals will be included in the two players the Southern team can bring in each year. The move will deâ€" finitely benefit local hockey as the greater part of the cream of the crop will be staying here but on the other hand it will be tough on the kids who want to move out. At the present time the C.A.H.A. only allows each team in the O.H.A. two players who have transferred from another league. This move was to cut down on the wholesale moving of promising players to the O.H.A. This however didn‘t apply to the local kids as they were part of the O.H.A. and so it was not classed as a Branch to Branch transfer. The local kids could then move without being in too much hot water. BBÂ¥ DOUO MCLIRLL A N mm N.0.H.A. BREAKAWAY : â€" It looks as though the N.O.H.A. is finally going to break away from the parent O.H.A. There has been talk of the move for some time and it seems ripe at the moment. The big outcome.of the move would be that it would make it almost impossible for any local kids to move out of here to greener hockey fields in moneyâ€"ladened Southâ€" ern Ontario. Boxers â€" Some No Bigger Than Coke Bottles â€" All Blossom Under Wolfe NQTICE THE COURT OF REVISION CONNAUGHT PUBLIC SCHOOL Saturday, May 27, 1950 at 3.00 p.m. will be held in the By Doug McLellan The St. Alpnonsus Boxing Club is on the march, The young fistic orâ€" ganizction, under the â€" guidance of Shorty "Kid" Wolfe, staged a "fight night" at the McIntyre the other night and thereby served warning to the wrestling promoter, Larry Kasaâ€" ‘boski, that this fighters would have to move over and share the top (fight shelf) with the newly formed boxing club. in these pgrts Shox‘ty Woltes ‘gang. will: make:« even the moct avid. fanâ€" of the "grunt and groan" turn away from the mayhem and become a folâ€" lower of the cleaner more crowd. pleasing sport. Wrestling Over? The show on Monday night at the wager that it won‘t be too long until wrestling, which is nothing but gloriâ€" fied burlesque, will be seen no longer Wonders by Wolfe Kid Wolfe has taken his place among the few men of the district who have done wonders in sports with the local kids: He started the club on nothing but a shoeâ€"string and the love of the fisâ€" tic game. He then proceeded to seâ€" cure the basement of the Schumacher Church as his trzining gym and the kids flocked in droves from near and far. The evidence of the little pugilâ€" ist‘s long hours of work was seen at the card at the McIntyre. In fact, when you witness a boxing match, you wonder if you can turn right around and call â€"wrestling sport at all. ' He had little fellows no bigger than . a coke bottle scrapping in the prelims and they had everything,. Shorty has. taught them to throw a mean, fast punch, to weave and bob and everyz thing else so essentizl in the fight game and they all do it with real alâ€" thority. The thing that he has taught them which is more important than all these is to be a real sportsman, All the kids faught fairly â€" a thing that is alâ€" weys essential when you are handlâ€" ing the.younger set. You must teach them ‘the true sportsman‘s way of playing or fighting and Shorty has done that with great success. Best Battles Getting down to the actual {fights they were all ‘dillies‘ with the best battle of the night being the main. even with Maurice Lavigne of Tim.â€" mins being pitted against Nels Beaurâ€" dy of Sudbury.~The match was a real slugfest with Lavigne and Beaurdy standing toeâ€"toâ€"toe and sluging the leather in rapid fire. Both boys have mean, wicked punch with the Sudbury scraepper being a little erratic in his ‘hayâ€"makers.‘ The way the gloves were being slung around, you could readily see from the first couple of punches that someâ€" that is exactly what the Timmins Terâ€" ror did. At the final bell Beaurdy was on the canvas and out like the probervial light, and thus ended a very special evening â€" the beginning of many more to come, so it‘s hats off to Shorty Wolfe and his great little hand of scrappers and it‘s fair warning to the grapplers that unless they start and prodcuce they will have to go to the boxing show to see a crowd. . . ; The Johnny Long Dance was an overwhelming success. There is nothâ€" ing more we can say about it t.han that. Timmins High. We wish you the best of luck in your future careers. I trust that when you have read this you â€"will have just completed a very pleasant day and a half holiday. Good Matheson One group thought that if the price of butter were reduced to. compare favourably ~with the price of substiâ€" tutes, more people would eat butter, another thought the removal of subâ€" stitutes from the market would be the remedy, another. that it was used Mr. L.

The fire started when a wind blew embers from a nearby bonfire. At the time of the fire there was nobody at home and as it was a frame building it got a head start before it was noticed and it was only a matâ€" ter of minutes before the home was gutted and a complete loss. There was only $1,500 insurance for contents and home. Mr. Bruce, a cripple for years, was a patient at the Kirkland Lake Hospital at the time of the disaster.
