YVia North Bay aand Canadian Pacific Centâ€" Aâ€"Mile Officially opening the reâ€"union of the 159th Batt. on Sunday morning there was a memorial service at the cenotaph at North Bay, with members of the Northern Battalion and hundreds of spectators for the occasion. The service was conducted by Rev. H. A. Sims, with Rev. Capt. Reed and Rev. G. G. Lacey assisting. On Sunday afternodon the 159th Batâ€" talion held a drumhead service to which all returned men of the North were specially invited. The attendance at this event was unusually large. Reyv. Capt. P. C. Reed, Rev. Capt. M. N. Omond, who conducted the service, Capt. Thos, Ellwood, of the Salvation Army, Rev. G. G. Lacey and Rev. Capt. Clarke Wallace were among those takâ€" ing part. Rev. Capt. Clarke Wallace of Birchcliff delivered the main address of the afternoon and made a notable imâ€" pression on all. Loudspeakers were used to amplify the service and addresses so that all in the large crowd could hear clearly. One of the outstanding features of the Sunday and Monday programme at North Bay was the playing of the 159th Battalion band. Members of the old Old Home Week at North Bay last week proved a noteworthy success. There was a large attendance from Timmins and district, as will be noted by items elsewhere in last week‘s issue, and it is easy to understand that only a small proportion of those attending the event have registered. The attenâ€" dance from other Northern sections was equally large and the event, indeed, took on the style of a North Land reâ€"union. rather than being exclusively North Bay. This is largely due to the good work of the 158th Battalion Reâ€"union committee, who had charge of the opening days and set a standard of inâ€" terest and pleasure for the succeeding days. Reports from North Bay say that the weather has bseen ideal, the crowds large and the entertainment and good fellowship extra special.

The edict of Fremicr Hepburn of Ontario to cut ableâ€"bodied single men from relief rolls, reopened traditional battle between Hamilton and Toronto. When Mayor Simpson of Toronto wired Mayor Wilton of Hamâ€" ilton to call a protest meeting of Ontario mayors, Mrs, Simpson had to pay collect charges on Mayor Wilton‘s reply in which he refused to call meeting. This evoked a blast from TorontOo‘s chief magistrate, and anâ€" other geply from Mayor Wilton, highlights from which are qusted ABOVE.

Countryâ€"wide protest against the salary anq pension cuts has revealed the people in a dangerous mood, and the cabinet has decided to calm public fears by a new series of decree laws aimed principally at «.owering the cost of living and keeping prices at the new levels. Premier LAvai wiil expilain the naâ€" ture of the decree laws and the evenâ€" tual advantages to be gained by their full enforcement. HMHe will also instruct th prefects in the new measures which the cabinet is preparing for price reâ€" At Toulon armed guards stood watch over the government arsenal, whose workers this week staged a fullâ€"fledged riot in midtown with injuries to 13, including six police. At Le Havre French Line crews were reported refusing their pay envelopes containing salary cuts. In Paris 1200 transport employees attempted to demonstrate and were broken up by police with five arrests. Five hundred gas employees attempted another demonstration in Montmartre. Mobile guards staved off the attack on the prefecture, where earlier in the day the demonstrators ran up a red flag and pulled down the French emâ€" blem. Attempts to storm the barracks of the Second Colonial Regiment also were frustrated after a bitter struggle. At 11 p.m. police authorities announced the city was quiet. snewsd disorders broke out in the French seaport of Brest when 4,000 port workers, protesting government pay cuts, tried to storm the maritime prefecture. Thirteen workers ang seven police were taken to hospital in grave condition. A worker was killed in earher rioting. Policemen hsaded the parade, then came the 159th Batt. band, next the 159th Batt. and other Northern reâ€" turned.soldiers. _A historical panorama of the growth of North Bay added to the livelinsss of the cccasion as did also the bugle bang of North Bay Colâ€" legiate, and the Italian Boys‘ Band. The programme for the following days was as already outlined in The Advance. All reports from North Bay suggest that the Old Home Week was a complete and very enjoyable success. Despatches this week from Paris say that nationâ€"wide demonstrations diâ€" rected against the French government‘s economy congress were giving the leadâ€" ers of the nation the gravest concern on Tuesday evening. Premier Laval called all dspartmental prefects into conference to assure effective adminisâ€" tration of changes and salary reducâ€" tions which have brought protests from all sides. |band had been gathered together for the occasion and with the generous 'support of other bandsmen, all of whom were returned men and men of the | North, a very creditable band was musâ€" tered. The way the bandsmen played| together for the first time and without | any practice of any account showed what talented musicians the members of this unique band were. ' On Monday Mayor Bullbrook opened the Old Home Week after one of the longest parades in the history of the city. It is said that fully 20,000 people witnessed the parade, which took over 20 minutts to pass a given point, the parade being over a mile and a half | in length. Not only was the parade a | notable one for size but the quality | of the floats and displays was also remarkable. Gorgeous floats, historical and symbolic displays, exâ€"service men, cddities, novelties, comedians, etc., featured the parade. Cercle Canadien Francais won first prize for a float depicting the landing of Jacques Carâ€" tier on Canadian soil. The Travellers‘ battleship float took sccond. prize. Fourth prize went to a miniature Italian city. A miniature planing mill turning out lumber at great rate during | the parade was the fifth prize winner.

Here‘s a chance for a liveâ€" wire tractor salesman. Still another complaint in regard to trucks is to the effect that the recent announcement that after Augâ€" ust 1st no trucks were allowed to use the roads on Sundays there were nearâ€" ly the usual number of trucks on the roads on Sunday last, though it was after the first of August. The question of the advisability of permitting Sunâ€" day trucking has no bearing on the question. The fact is that the use of the roads on Sundays is forbidden by law. This is for the protection and safety of other motor vehicle traffic. It is the law and so long as it is the law, the regulation should be cobserved for the common safety. It is reported that despite the new regulation one truck was used to transport a number of young péople to a political gathering in the immediate district. "No!â€"â€"I don‘t think this is hot." ‘There are some who think the chances cf the Liberals being returned are "not so hot" either. For instance here is the way The Toronto Mail and Empire last week answered the same sort of. query A reader of The Advance writes this paper this week asking if there is any possible answer to the election camâ€" paign suggestion that because all the provinces of the Dominion now ssem to be Liberal there will be a Liberal sweep in the coming election. Of courss, there are a number of answers to such a suggestion but it may be that the reader does not want an answer. The question may be asked in the same spirit that the people used yesterday, for example, in saying:â€"‘"It‘s hot, isn‘t 1t?" The expected answer, of course was:â€"*"Yes, it is very hot," or something stronger. There would have been surprise if someone had replied: Conservatives Won in 1891 Though Provinces Liberal There are a number of complaints these days about trucks on the highâ€" ways. From South Porcupine last week came reports of trucks crowding cars to the ditch, one of these reports reâ€" flecting particularly on the lack of courtesy of the particular truck driver in question, and courtesy is a mild word in this case.

Heretofore, New Zealand has imported most of the paint used, but with the expansion in the domestic paint manufacturing industry, imports have fallsn off somewhat. Owing, however, to lack of raw materiâ€" als, New Zealand has to import ti#Rese. There would appear to be an opening for Canadian raw materials, such as dry colours, leaq ground in oil, linseed oil and certain resins, gums and solâ€" vents.

New Ontario Machine Works Between November 1 and March 31, operating expenses were reduced by more than $100,000 or about 11 per cent. from the costs of the same months in the previous year.. In the first quarter of 1935, April, May and June, expenses were reduced by 21.1 per cent. New purchases and new leases at better rates were said to acâ€" count for part of the profits. "They bear out conclusively," he said of his figures, "that freer sale of beer on authorized premises means a lesser conâ€" sumption of hard spirits. And that‘s the thing I was and am after."
