School opened in Timmins after the summer vacation on Tuesday morning with a striking attendance. There were 323 pupils answering the roll for the various classes at the public school, and there are many more still to come. Two years ago the attend- ance at the public school here totalled 178, so the 1921 attendance may be set down as about double that of 1919. This is one striking evidence of the growth of the town and the steady in.. ereasing number of homes here. 36 at High School First. Day. More to Come to Both Schools. Growth of Attendance Prom 1919. In the High School the attendance is equally noteworthy. On Tuesday morning there were 36 H. S. pupils present to start the new term. Three others are also expected, as they come under the ISchool Attendance Act this year. This will make a total at- tendanee of 39 for the Timmins High sellool, this being over three times as large as in 1919, the attendance then at High School being only 12. From the, figures above it will be seen that the Timmins ISehool now has to accommodate about. 400 pupils, counting the Public and High School pupils. In addition there is the large attendance at the Separate School, the attendance at both schools show- ing that Timmins is well-blessed with the "hope of the nation"----)," and uirls.

Over half of the 150 new Hollinger houses are now ready for occupancy, and work is being rushed on the bal- ance. HilluClarkiFrancis, the con- traeting firm, expect to have the whole contract filled well within sehe- dule time. Before the bad weather comes it is expected that this new See- tion recently annexed to the town will be all complete, with houses, water and sewer connections. roads, etc., etc. The work of building: the. houses will likely be cbmpleted in the course of the next month or six weeks. Very satisfactory progress is being, made all along the line. The new townsite is laid out with streets, sewers, waterworks, electric. light, ete., provided for. The houses, while not of pretentious appearance, are built for comfort, convenience and warmth. The new houses are of uniform style, each of four rooms. All are covered with paroid siding and roofiing, one house being finished in red outside and the next in green, and so on. The room opening from the street is the living room, and has a sink and water tap. The chimney is also in this room, the houses heifg so warmly constructed that one stove will be sufficient for.keepingr the house comfortable in cold weather. The chimneys are put on in rather unusu- al hat very effective manner being hung from the rafters of the roof by means of strong steel bands, making a much hetter and stouter construc- tion than the usual bracket arrange- ment. There are2hree Bedrooms, in addition to the living room. All the rooms are of good size and finished in comfortable way. Gypsum wallboard, a board made from an asbestos prepa- ration, is used for the interior walls. It has practically all the good qua- lifies of plaster, and has a few special features, being tire-proof and permit» proof. It is harder and thicker than the common wall-board and so is much preferable as a wall-covering, as well as promising much greater protection from the outside cold. Opening off .the kitchen there is a pantry.' The wall behind each wash basin is protected from water splash- ing by an attached aim, sheet. Each house is provided with a water closet.

The Dome still has the enviahle re- cord of not losing a single game in either of the two N.O.F.A. cup sche- dules. The loss at Cobalt last week- end in the Foster Cup series was of' course apart from the N.O.F.A. games. However, it shows that even such a good team as the Dome may be beat- en, with "luek." So the Timmins boys are hoping. Anyway, it will be a lively game and keenly contested. WEDDING THIS MORNING AT ST. ANTHONY 'S CHURCH A quiet but pretty wedding occur- red this (Wednesday) morning at 8 o'eloelf at the R. C. Church here when Rev. Fr. Meunier united in marriage Miss Blanche Lariviete, younger daughter of Mr. Lariviere, of Timmins, lo Mr. Cleophase Le- mieux of Timmins. Mr. and Mrs. Le- mieux will‘ reside in Timmins.

"l‘hose in charge of the programme assuredly deserve the highest credit] l’orlgtlre efTeetiveness with which thel whole day's doings were eondueted. An immense amount oy work and study must have been necessary to make that big programme run along: as smoothly and pleasantly as it did. And everybody in Iroquois Falls from the manager, Mr. It. A. Melnuis, all through the ranks and departments, seemed determined that every visitor should enjoy and remember the day. They certainly succeeded. It was a leader' as a day of sports and plea- sure. Throughout this issue will he. found a great many references to the big day. Much space is given the event by The Advance this week, be- cause the event is worth it. Ask any fahuninded man, woman or child who iwas there! Elsewhere is this issue will be found a write-up ot' the monster parade. This parade was undoubtedly the most striking of its kind ever held in the North Land. The lawn tennis tournament and the Kirkland Lake- Cochrane baseball game are also brief ly reported in' other columns of this issue, as well as the Northern Ontario Athletic Meet. The latter was an event of special importance, well eon- dueted and unusually interesting. The baseball match between Kirkland and Cochrane was a splendid game bet- ween two well-mateher teams both of them playing a fine brand of ball. It waralone. worth the price of admis- sion. Of course to the visitors from the Porcupine the big sporting event was the ball match between Timmins and the Falls. A report of that fea- ture will be found in another column. The crowd is estimated at between 2,000 and 3,000. It was a great day all day. A quiet bat very pretty wedding took place this (Wednesday) morning at the It. C. church, Tiimnins, when Rev. Father Theriault united in the bonds of holy matrimony Mr. John Beaudreau, of Tinnnins, and Miss Viola Thomas, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. Thomas of Timmins. Miss Majorie Thomas, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and (Mr. 'Gene Colombo supported the groom. After the ceremony, a wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride's parents.

On their return, the young couple will take up residence in Tim- mins. I lScllool re-opened on Tuesday morn- in,ur at the Timmins It. C. Separate School, and the attendance is worthy of special note. On the opening day a few less than 500 pupils were pre- sent and the number will be increased in the course of the next week or twin; Many of the pupils are not yet re-, turned from holidays oat of town and some others have not returned to their school work yet. The attendance may he set down as approximately Wat present with the probability of this number being eseeeded before the fall term is over. For a town this size an attendance of 500 is a noteworthy item, and when it is remembered that there are in addition about 350 attend img the public school and 39 pupils for the High School, it will be seen that Timmins has a school attendance of' unusual size for a town no larger than this. This pleasing big attendance may be credited to the general atten- tion given to education in this Camp. The teaching staffs are. kept at a high standard of excellence and efficiency, the school accommodation is the best that can be given under the circum- stances and with the very rapid growth of the needs. 'llotli the separ- ate and the public school boards are to be commended for the attention and care given to educational matters. They have met big problems with com age and energy.

Kirkland Lake Football Team has Ihe high honour this year of winning: the Foster Cup, which has been con- sidered a Cobalt perquisite these many years until hope of lifting: it from the Silver Town had almost vanished in certain breasts in the North. Then along' comes the young Kirkland team, just a year old as a team, and cap- tures the coveted trophy. What is more, Kirkland Lake deserved the victory on its performance. The Kirk- land Lake team has played a great brand of football throughout the sea- son and stuck it out despite a run of} hard luck. On top of this they had to' lplay two games with the Dome and then playCobttlt to win. They played the Dome Saturday the result being a tie, 1 to 1. Another game was arrang- ed to break the tie and this game was so keenly contested that it run full time with only the one snore made and that by Kirkland Lake.. Then Kirk- land turned round and defeated the clever Cobalt team with the score of 2 to 1. _ No doubt now "Football Support- er" will admit that "luek" plays a considerable part in sport. The Dome has a wonderful team with a great re- cord for the season. They have found no particular difficulty in winning from the Kirkland Lake team this season, despite the fact that Kirkland has a splendid team. Of the two teams football enthusiasts wtuld pick the Dome as the winner. But that is where "luek" comes im The Dome boys were not in luck on Saturday. This is in no way in depreciation of the Kirkland Lake team. No doubt they recognize the part that luck does play in sport. It is all part of the: game. Cobalt also will believe in luck ---hard luck. But as for Kirkland Lake they deserve fully the honour of the victory and the posession this sea- son of the Foster Cup. COBALT WINS AND tops PROM COPPER our? TEAM Cobalt, champions of the Temis- kaming Baseball League, and Copper Cliff, champions of the Nickel Belt League, played two games at Cobalt on Saturday, Cobalt winning the first game 5 to 0, and losing the sedpnd match 1 to 0. Cobalt is now to play at Copper Cliff. Timmins, . . . . I . Iroquois Falls .. Cochran . . . . . . N.O.B.A. STANDING 2 .714 .714 Timmins is well-pleased, thank you. in the return match at Iroquois Falls on Monday in the District League ae- ries Timmins whitewashed the Paper Town team right on their own grounds, with the high score of 7 to 0. After remarking that this wipes out the defeat ol' Timmins a week ago on their home grounds. it is only fair to say that the score by no means repre- sented the match. Iroquois Falls put up a good brand of ball, and the big score against them may be traced more to some mistakes of coaching, management, elm, and to the breaks oily: against them, than to general poor play. But even with this said, the Falls is ready with all others View in}: the game to admit that Timmins won on merit. Every player on the Timmins team played great ball. "An orrurless ball team,” is the way one prominent Iroquois Falls fan describ- ed the 'l'immins team. Charlie Shee- han pitched a dandy game and got near perfect support. McIntyre be- hind the hat was in fine form and play ed his usual clever game. Farr at third put his heart into the work and everybody knows how 'Lefty plays that way. 'MeCurty, alike in the tield and at bat, did splendid work. Me Lean at short played the position in line way and at bat he was also a material factor in the winning of the game. The box score and summary shows the good work of Pierce, Scully; Spring: and Lake who played their po- sitions well and did their part in the winning: ol' the game. The iielding of ithe Timmins team was good, and the “double plays" that featured the game were helpful factors in putting the opposing team up in the air. For the Falls Bowman pitched nice hall and held the visitors down in fine Fashion for six innings. He was re- placed in the seventh by Little. Home Timmins fans feared that the change might tighten up the game against; them, but the fresh pitcher proved easier for them than Bowman. The summary shows that the change of? pitchers did not help the home team any. The Falls is noted for its good batters, but it will be noted they did not get much from Charlie and his fine support. But the whole story in detail may be gathered from the 0f- fieial report of the game, as follows: Every Man in Timmins Team Played A Whale of a. Game. Match Not As Uneven as the Score.
