Miss Iona Andrew, of Swastika, is spending the vacation with her sister, Miss Marjorie, in town. One of the sure signs of spring is the imcreased activity around the garages and filling stations in town. The beneâ€" fit of a good garage and repair shop near at hand was strongly emphasized on the day that the stranded Timmins hockey fans were being brought to Porâ€" curline Lake. A machine part of the rescue plane had beex damaged on the ariginal trip and it was quickly and efficiently repaired at the Everâ€"ready garage here, enabling the rescue work to proceed with the minimum of delay instead of having to wait to send out of town for repairs,.

One man was present from the west end of camp. He is a returned soldier with a wife and two children. He is a bricklayer by trade, had been working in the States until a year ago, but at that time when it beâ€" same known that he was Canadianâ€" born and a British subject work could not be got there so he brought his wife and family with him to these parts. Heo had been getting odd jobs in Timâ€" mins but just now there was practicalâ€" ly no work of any kind available and his reserve cash was all gone. The last month‘s rent was past due and the children were home from school beâ€" cause they felt they were not sufficientâ€" ly nourished with what food they had lately, to send them out. He would let the council know as scon as he could get some regular work and the money would be paid back later. This was cnsidered by the council as a much more worthy case than many that have been ‘before them, and it was easily seen that only the force of dire necessity aillowed the man‘s pride to let him ask for help for his family unâ€" til he could do more for them himself. Messrs John Fell, Jr., and Frank Thorpe, spent the weekâ€"end at Haileyâ€" Dury. Mrs. Ira Crawfora, of Campbell‘s Bay, has taken up residence here. Her husband has been at the Dome for seme time.

Lecture on Canâ€" adian History. ‘oyaity to their adopted country and opposition to those who would injure or defame this land. The association At the last meeting the outstanding feature was a lecture on Canadian hisâ€" tory by Jchn H. Hykawy. Mr. Hykawy sketched the highlights in the story of this Dominion and impressed all with the measure of cpportunity and freeâ€" dom that. had been established here through the labours of those who have zsonmne before. Lively discussion followâ€" ed address. Among those taking A* the last meeting of the Canadian Posvita Association the proâ€" _ags were of unusual interest and ralue. This associaiton was formed ocme months ago by a group of people 3f Ukrainian origin who while preservâ€" ne the good characteristics of their race, with its noble history, poetry, mus‘ic and art, desire to become the yest sort of Canadian citizens and to ‘mprove themselves in every way. The word *"Prosvita" may be translated as "Enligchtenment" or "Education," and this gives a keynote of the purpiose of the society, with the added aim of has grown steadily since its inception and not a meeting passes without two r three new members being added. mart in the discussion were Dr. Yarema and Mr. Topolnicky who pointed out their sincere hope that the members would fully realize that the building up of this country to its present notable nosition took many centuries during which time thousands of soldiers, Enâ€" gslish and French, lost their lives in fighting for Canada, and that many hardships had ‘been endured by the pioneers. These picneers had to build roads, clear the land of forest and meet difficulties of many kinds such as are no longer necessary to face. The presâ€" ent generation certainly owed much to those who had gone before, and the men and women of toâ€"day should hold fast to the good principles for which the earlier people in Canada had fought and struggled and given their lives to maintain. The members present at the meetâ€" ing admitted that they gained a lot from the lecture, the speaker not only being interesting but also giving his audience much information of value and thoughts to inspire them to betâ€" ter citizenship. It was hori»d that more lectures of this kind would follow, and some in the gathering suggested that an address on "Canadian Civics" be the next one. This was greeted with apâ€" proval. As suggested in previous issues of The Advance, the Canadian Ukrainâ€" lan "Prosvita" Association of Timmins has many branches of activity that are most commendable.

SHAHEEN On Friday last word was received here from Sudbury to the effect that Roy Smith and his airplane had been duly located at Sudbury where he had stopped off on his way to Toronto. On account Oof the recent difficulties and I hardships endured by the grour of pasâ€" sengers from Timmins in their airship trip from Toronto, ‘there was conâ€" iderable anxiety felt over the possible iate of the red plane and its pilot. Roy Smith left Timmins on Wednesday last to fly to Toronto, telling Mr. Mowbray, Iof the Kingston hotel, that as soon as he reached Toronto he would phone or wire back here regarding his safe arâ€" rival at the city. Unless he was heard from, he suggested that it might be taken for granted that scmething had happened to him. Whesn nothing had been heard from him uy to Thursday noon considerable anxiety was arousâ€" led and fsars were entertained for his safety. The pilot of the red plane, like some of the passengers in the plane (that had to come down near Night Hawk Lake, had simply overiooked the matter of sending wire when he deâ€" cided to make a landing. Roy ! who is a skilled pilot did not send any word here and before noon on Thursâ€" day last the police were notified. Arâ€" | rangements were made for a complete |survey along the expected route. In i the meantime, however, Pilot Smith and his ship were located at Sudbury and it was found that he was all ,right. Later, he resumed his air voyâ€" ‘age to Toronto. c L1 4 ° * st 5555 55 0 5 i5 io i5 05 05 05 1505005 050505050005 45 4540 45 45 45 45 4 Red Airship Found to be Safe at Sudbury VICEâ€"SKIPS‘ wWAS WON BY C.
