He was employed as bookkeeper at the Gold Lake Shore Mines in Red Lake; living across the lake from his work. He had paddled a friend across the lake in his canoe and was returning to his home before starting to work on the morning of his death. when he had a sudden attack of heart failure due to strenuous exercise of which he had been warned to be careful. He fell from the canoe and was not found until three hours later. when a doctor diagnosed his death as from heart failure. There was no water in the lungs at all. He had been working steadily while at Red Lake and was feeling in the best of health when the sad accident occurred. His untime- ly demise is regretted by all his friends who remember “Reg" as being one of the “boys" here in town. While on holiday we visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Carr at Leamington, former postmaster here, and one of Porcupine‘s old-timers. Charlie wishes to be remembered to all his old friends. Both are in the best of health. Try The Advance Want Advertisement: Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wilson with whom we spent a few happy days at Kingville (Lake Erie) are also “in the pink."

The game was played at McIntyre. Dome winning with a score of 3-1. The re- :Elturn game will be played at Dome on Wednesday next. Goals to count on these two games. The Dome boys played superior football right through and deserved to win. They were lawarded a penalty in the second half but W. Rogers missed. shooting wide. The players found difficulty in keep- ing their footing as the grass was damp and very slippery. Crawford played one of his best games of the year as centre half. McWhinney struck his head against the goalpost. but soon resumed play after attention. The game on Wednesday completes the series of games for this year. Dome winning the league and the Byrne Cup.

This will supply a need which only mothers of growing girls will fully appreciate. Clean. wholesome interest and fun out- side of school work must be given to our future women if we want the race, to improve. At present. with the ex- ception of two small groups of C.G.I.T. girls there is nothing in the town for girls to offset counter attractions of a less desirous character. . Miss W. Naish has started things at the Dome School which has been granted to the use of the G.G.'s two evenings a week. The third meeting was held on Monday. Captain Crans~ ton from Timmins was present and talked to the girls. She expressed her delight at finding such a bright and promising company. The girls. under the tutelage of the Misses W. and Ruby Naish, Miss Ruth Armstrong. and Miss L. Owens (all old-time Guides) are quickly learning the laws, etc.. for the Tenderfoot Test. If any town girls would like to join the-company any one of the leaders mentioned would be glad to have their names and they could probably arrange taxi conveyance which Would prove considerably cheaper if a large number of girls would promise to attend each week. Nominations were given for Captain and Lieutenanis to be presented to the Divisional Commis- sioner (Mrs. Tomney) whom the Guides hope will visit them in the near future. The trophy presented by Mr. J. H. Stovel to the school boys was again won by Dome this year: Dome. Dome Extension. and Town boys competing for same. The senior club has kindly given a set of medals to be competed for by the school boys but unless the weather gets a little warmer they will not be played for until next year. When Mrs. McDowell.

The Dominion Fire Chiefs’ Convention at London. which both Mi‘. and Mrs. Smith attended, was a very great suc- cess this year. It was held in the ‘ Hotel London. one of the most modern I and up-to-date hotels in Western On- . tario. After the convention sessions all the guests were lavishly and wonder- fully entertained by the entertainment committee sponsored by the London Fire Chief and the Mayor and Cor- poration of the city. Tours of inspec- tion cf the various places of interest were made and all the guests entertain- ed on the first day at a luncheon at Port Stanley, at which Mayor Wenige presided. Next evening a wonderful I banquet was tendered them in the Crystal Room of the hotel. and son- ] venirs given to each guest. The may-- lor welcomed the guests and Col. Wal- | ter Brown. Professor at Western Uni- versity, with J. J. McHale, Esq, of the Kiwanis, gave very interesting talks. lThe ladies next day were taken over Kellogg's factory, also McCormick‘s. where both candy-making and biscuit- lmaking were in full swing. Clever papers were read at this convention, of interest to firemen and concerning fire department work, and a wonder- lful display of the latest fire-fighting I equipment was shown in the armories; an interesting item being the display by the Windsor Fire Department of the . resuscitation squad at work on victims 'of gas asphyxiation or drowning. It appears that in the older centres it is customary to call the fire departments in cases of drowning. The attendance covered representatives from fire de- partments all over the Dominion from I Vancouver on extreme west, and Chief I Churchill, of Halifax, from extreme east and Max Smith from extreme north this year. It may be interesting to note that Maxwell Smith, of South Porcupine. was elected District Vice- President for Northern Ontario at this convention. The only thing that mar- red the trip was hearing that Mr. Free. Thompson (secretary for Temiskaming : Association) had had an accident with I his car on the way down (at Erindale) lâ€"Car rather badly wrecked but for- tunately only slight injuries to the oc- l cupants.

The accused had been in trouble before and, of course. that did not help him. But his explanation did. He said that it all happened in a beverage room. He said that he did not have anything against the other gentleman, did not even know him, and did not aim the glass at him. Instead it was this way:â€"â€"Some time ago find- ing the trouble that liquor had caused him, the accused had sworn ofl' drink- ing altogether, intending never again even to take a drink of beer. Yet he had gone into a beverage room the other night and drank a couple of glasses of beer. All of a sudden he realized what he had done. He had broken the pledge he made himself. And was he mad? “I finished the glass I was drinking." he told the court. “and then I hurled the cursed thing from me. That is the end of drinking beer for me again.“ After hearing this explanation there was nothing left to the magistrate but to dismiss the charge. It looked at first as if a man accus- ed of assault at Tuesday‘s police court would be severely dealt with. but than was before he told his own story. He was accused of a particularly bad form of assault. According to the evidence he had deliberately thrown a heavy glass at a stranger. The glass just missed the other man and smashed to atoms against the wall. The man who thought the glass was thrown at him informed the police and the charge followed. The accused had been in trouble before and, of course. that did not help him. But his explanation did. The Timmins police are starting to clean up the disorderly houses in town. There were six young women in court this week charged with being inmates of disorderly houses. All of them pleaded guilty and each was fined $25 and costs. The names werezâ€"Mar- jorie and Maud Checkley. Germaine Gauthier and Yvett Morin. and Helen Dupont and Margaret Therien. The police are still after the reckless drivers and those failing to return to the scene of an accidenz. on a charge of reckless driving Mathew Nemicko. 6 Kirby avenue. was fined $50.00 and costs.

Nemicko did not have a pro- per permit to drive, using a beginner's license. though not having the required skilled chauffeur with him in the car. The magistrate found Nemicko had been going at too great a speed and that otherwise he had not used pro- per care. In fact he needed consider- able tuition in driving before being safe with a car. exclaimed simultaneously “It‘s a bear!" It is quite a long time since bears were seen on the Timmins road. Mrs. Ed.

Provincial Officer Pretorlus and another officer found the accused working around a still in the bush. with mash. etc.. all ready. and a charge of breach of the Excise Act was the result. A Master and Servant Act case was adjourned to next week. Two men who were accused of an- noying people in Moneta by knocking at the doors of houses at unfavourable hours of the late night and morning at the doors of houses at unfavourable hours of the late night and morning were charged under the town by-law forbidding disorderly conduct. The case was adjourned for a week. the men being out on $50.00 bail each. It is said that the men made the mistake of knocking at doors where families are respectable. though the houses at some past times may have had other kinds of tenants. One reckless driving charge brought a $10.00 fine and costs. while a similar charge was withdrawn. L. Lepage. Wilcox street. was fined $100.0 and costs for having illicit liquor. . For liquor in a public place Omer Perron was fined $100.00 and costs. For failing to stOp at intersections three driver were each fined $2.00 and costs. Six common drunks paid $10.00 and costs each. In an assault case the complainant did not appear so the charge was dis- missed.
