Timmins First Town in North to Get New Rate Kamiscotia copper,. discovered _ a little more than ten years ago, was to make a second Noranda in the North, it was then believed.

General consensus of opinion was that the day should be marked in much the same manner as King George‘s jubilee in the early summer of 1935. Under the direction of Branch 88 of the Canadian Legion, the event is to include the whole Porcupine district. Those present at Tuesday‘s meeting assured the Legion of wholeâ€"hearted coâ€"operation and expressed their willâ€" ingness to decorate floats for a grand parade. Austin Neame, chairman of the comâ€" mittee in charge, made particular menâ€" | tion of home and store decorations. He hopes to see a great deal more of that this year than at the time of the jubiâ€" lee. In view of the fact that Old Home Week is just a few weeks later, the decorations used for the coronation celebration can be used again then. Mr. Neame has arranged to have samâ€" ples of decorations at the Mines rescue station behind the fire hall where anyâ€" one interested imay see them. Displays of Fireworks It was also suggested that there be a display of fireworks in Timmins, Schumacher and South Porcupine on the evening of May 12th. Mayor J. P. Bartleman spoke strongâ€" ly in favour of massed singing by the school children of the whole district.

"I hope the town will decorate more fully than in the past," said Mr. Neame. "More flags on the business streets and at the homes, decorated shop windows and patriotic decoration of the homes of Timmins will make a great differâ€" ence." Those who will have floats for the parade are asked to get in touch ‘with Mr. Neame as soon as possible so that proper arrangements can be made. Committee Appointed The committee appointed to take charge of the celebration includes the executive committee of the Canadian Legion, two representatives of the Timâ€" mins town council, Reeve Dave Kerr of Tisdale township, and Charles Arnott of Schumacher. Representatives of the I.O.D.E. said their float would have a figure of Britâ€", tniaâ€"as theâ€"central part, surrounded by figures. representing the parts of the British Empire.

Judgment Given at Osgoode Hall Toronto on Monday Quashes Byâ€"laws Recently Passed to Force Hardware, Furniture and Dry Goods Stores to Close Wednesday Afternoons. Charges of violating Wednesday alâ€" ternoon closing byâ€"laws, laid by police against Sam Bucovetsky, Marshaliâ€" Ecclestone and the I. K. Pierce Furniâ€" ture company, were withdrawn at police court here yesterday when Dean Kester, attorney for Bucovetsky and Marshallâ€"Eclestone produced a teleâ€" gram stating that the byâ€"laws had been quashed by the supreme court, Long Drawn Out Case The case began at Osgoode before lunch on Monday and was continued until after four o‘clock. G. W. Mason KC.. appearing for Mr. Kester and John R. Cartwright appearing for Town Solicitor S. A. Caldbick, Affidavits, the byâ€"laws themselves and the petitions on which the town acted were the chiel exhibits. Reasons advanced in support of the motion to quash the byâ€"law were: The council did not make regulations as to the form of the application and as to the evidence to be produced teâ€" specting the properties of the persons signing the application and as to the class of shops. The council did not exâ€" ercise its own judgment as to whether the application was signed by the reâ€" quired number of applicants but took the judgment or acted under the direcâ€" tion of one Homer Gauthier, a member Curling Event Knocked Out of First Place. dresses; the delightful music; the happy Welsh customs observed; and the general friendliness and hospitality of the whole evening. Over a hundred enjoyed the full course dinner, the {food being the cholicâ€" est and the service perfect, There were maity compliments for the Ladies‘ Auxiliary for the notable repast. The tables looked very attractive for the occasion, a special touch of beauty beâ€" ing added by the flowers that decked the tables. An apt illustration of the kindly spirit that marked the evening was the fact that after the banquet the flowers were sent to cheer some Welsh folks who are ill. There were printed menus and proâ€" grammes with mottoes in the Welsh language. â€"Grace was said by Rev. Bruce Millar. The menu included: Soup, cream of tomato; celery pickles, creamed peas and carrots, turkey, poâ€" tatoes, beets, deep apple pie, whipped cream, cheese, tea, cake, coffee.

The council did not satisfy themselves that the application had been signed by not less than threeâ€"quarters of the stores 2 pot poutIri; and scusa‘s marches. The next conce lith and will be council did not satislty themselves that the application had been signed by not less than threeâ€"quarters of the stores in those businesses. The application presented to the council did not ask for the passing of byâ€"laws requiring the closing of any class of shop, but asked the council for byâ€"laws closing the stores of those who signed the application. The application did not name any time or hours between 12.30 o‘clock noon and five o‘clock in the Torenoon of the next following day during whu,h the stores were to be closed. The byâ€"laws were discriminatory and At recent council meetings, it has been stated several times that the town intends to do everything in its power to have proper closingâ€" byâ€"laws but it will be necessary now to have new petiâ€" tions and applications. A great deal of argument was preâ€" sented by both «counsels on the motion. May Outline Proper Procedure When Mr. Justice McEvoy‘s judgment is delivered in full, it will probably outâ€" line the procedure that should have been taken by the town to pass byâ€" laws that could be enforced.
