When we say that the results of all these instruâ€" ments being played upon together was! The girls‘ performance came in for much praise. In its way it was equal to the boys‘ work. Balancing, grace, tumbling, pyramid workâ€"all showed excellent training. One comment from a public man might be quoted here: Next in order for praiss are the athletic activities shown by both boys and girls on the platform. The boys were splendid. In their tumbling, ‘horse‘ work and pyramids, they showâ€" ed cleverness and training and were a genuine pleasure to watch. Even the little fellows matched up with the bigâ€" ger ones and made no mistakes. "It is the fact that girls have bodies as wWell as boys." The Glee Club should also have its share of praise, The singing was sweet, tuneful, pleasing and the selecâ€" tions suitable. All who saw this little gem of, fine acting forgot the actors, in the play. Seldom, if ever, have we seen any play put over by children under cighteen years of age with so little selfâ€"comsâ€" ciousness, so much poise and such genâ€" uine feeling as "The Valiant." A list of the actors will follow, and while the whole cast were fine, the exâ€" cellence of the portrayal of the hero and heroine was coutstanding. While this is our own opinion it has been upheld by every person to whom we have spoken concerning the concert. In each of the other two plays ‘there was the same finish, an absence of the awkwardness associated with amateutr preoductions and practically no promptâ€" ing. We listened to the comments of the crowd coming away from the hall, and round town toâ€"day, and wighout, ex~ ception heard the greatest praise for each form of entertainment provided. It was a master stroke on the part of the makers of the programme to preâ€" sent at the end of a lengthy list of items a play that gripped the audience with its realism, and was so splendidly portrayed that handkerchiefs were used freely, not. only by the ladies present. South Porcupine, Ont.., Jan. 22, 1938. (Special to The Advance»â€"On Thursâ€" day evening the High School auditorâ€" ium was packed to the doors with parâ€" ents, friends and most of South Porcuâ€" pine‘s adult population to hear and see one of the finest concerts that our High School has yet produced. As our previous statements would indicate, no pains have been spared by teachers and pupils since before Christmas to polish up the individual.items presentâ€" ed, and the results must be most graâ€" tifying to the staff.

Presentation of "The V aliant" a Gem of Art THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The following is a list of all who helped in any way to make this conâ€" cert such a grand success. Mr. Blake wishes to say ‘that the coâ€" operation of all the staff and the willâ€" Beverly Evans was the prisoner, Dyke, and Joan Maxwellâ€"Smith the prisoner‘s sister. William Honer took the part of Orâ€" derly. Emmet Cunningham was an Attendâ€" The part of Father Daly was taken by Fernleigh Uren. She goes back to her home. He goes "through the door" with the chaplain reciting the burial service and as he goes he quates: "Cowards die many times before their deathsâ€"the Valiant never taste of death but once." The warden, who was exceptionally well played, was Jack Pecore. She quotes Shakespeareâ€"her brother loved his books. He pretends he doesn‘t know anything of books. She tells her storyâ€"of her home, of her mother, of her brother. Finally her name. Then he tells her he has known her brother, he has died a hero‘s death on the fields of Franceâ€"he was a brother to be proud of. She shows her pity for him and at last embraces him in a farewell at his requestâ€"as if he were her broâ€" ther. Finally a message comes from the State Governor to let this man be reâ€" prieved for an hourâ€"long enough for a young girl who thinks the prisoner may be her longâ€"lost brother (and has come a thousand miles to find out) to interview him. f â€"one so innocent and sweet, the other with a brief hour to live! The interview is allowed and it was this part of the play that gripped and touched us all. The girl and the youth "The Valiant" deals with a youth condemned to hang. He has murdered a man, and his hour of execution is ncar. The warden of the prison and the chaplain, who feel there is someâ€" thing in this man ou‘t of the ordinary, try to get him to tell his real name, as they feel sure he is going under an alias; but to no effect. Then followed the last play. The nicest comment heard concerning this play was this: "Just as we were thinkâ€" ing what a pity it was that these proâ€" grammes have to be so long, the last play was given. From the beginning it took us so completely out of ourselves that we forgot the length of the proâ€" gramme in the sheer amazement of watching those children put across a play that would have been a task for seasoned actors. It was a wonderful piece of work." ‘"The Viennese Sextet" was ‘the next orchestral selection. The girls‘ athletics were presented next in a most pleasing fashion. Dressâ€" ed as toys (the blue guardsmen most effective) and with a toyshop backâ€" ground, they danced, gave displays of athletics, pyramids, etc., and were a joy to watch.

They sigh for adventure and get it in plenty. They are intimidated by pistols, have the lights go out, and find a mam bound and gagged when the lights come on again. This is interspersed witfi lovers‘ farewells and queer conversaâ€" tions, and by the time we are all comâ€" pleiiely mystified the solution comes. The Man in the Hat gets up and says: ‘"That‘s all for toâ€"nightâ€"we rehearse again at the same time toâ€"morrow"!! These characters all were good. Joyce Christenson acted the part of MALrY." Eino Kautto was ‘"John," her husâ€" band. Ken Donaldson was the "hero." Isabel Rapsey was the "heroine." William McNevin was the "Chief Vilâ€" Right up to the last minute this play had us guessing. Frankly we thought the characters had al gone a lille mad. A nice respectable man and <his wife‘ sitting in their home with the usual evening paper and knitting, when The proegramme started with an overâ€" ture by the orchestra (Schubert‘s "March Militaire.") Then followed the first play, "The House in the Quiet Glen"â€"a oneâ€"act comedy that won distinction last year at the Ottawa Dramatic Festival. Briefly it depended on the characâ€" ters more than the plot, for its success. The wooing of a shy loverâ€"the wellâ€" intenticoned planning of a mother and father for their daughter‘s marriage to the elderly father of the shy loverâ€" the very, very real depicting of the inâ€" ebriation of both pa and the widower, and the spirited daughter who guided her own affairs to suit herselfâ€"and who managed to drag the shy yokel up to secratth at the critical momentâ€" there you have the play.> The characâ€" ters were taken by:â€" Bessie Verner as the daughter Sally. Wilbur Lang as the shy lover, Hughie. Marjorie Jamieson as Mrs. McCann. Rudoliph Bezpalko as John McCann. Norman McLellan as Robert Doherty, the widower. The orchestra then played "Old Faâ€" vourites." The Glee Club sang "Aura Lee" and ‘"Voices of the Woods." Then followed the Boys‘ Athletics.

The AY.P.A. of St. Paul‘s Church had a very nice evening at the Buffaloâ€" Ankerite Mine on Wednesday. They held a skating party (by invitation) at the rink at the mine and enjoyed lunch and coffee in the school afterwards. About twenty accompanied by Archdeaâ€" con Woodall enjoyed the party. Mr. John Fell, of the Dome Mines, was honoured by his family last Thursday when a party of over 30 guests were entertained at his home to celebrate his birthday.

That evening the 7th Troop and ourselves were guests at a sleigh riding party of the Girl Guides. After the usual shoving and pushing, that is really a part of a sleighing party, halt of the gang walked a good deal of the way, while the rest crowded themselves onto the two sleighs provided. After this fun we went back to the Hollinger hall and cake and hot dogs and cocoa were dished out.

Incidentally this is the first report I have had from any troop in many a day. While I can‘t publish this in its entirety I pass on to you a digest of it. "On Thursday, January 20th, we had our regular meeting. Following the meeting Patrol Leaders and Seconds met in Court of Honour to plan for following events and programmes of the troop. put a very pointed question before you: "What‘s your hobby?" Now I‘ll ask "How goes your hobby?" I know a great many of you have found interest in things that, up until now, you had found interesting but had cast to one side. Now we want to see all these hobbies of yours. Are you ready with them: to show them along with other members of your troop or pack in one grand display, Think of the great adâ€" vantage your troop will have to earn $10 worth of equipment. Think of all the fun your pack will have with many, many new things. But most of all think of the things you, yourself, have gained through preparing for this exâ€" position. Haven‘t you found that many others besides yourselves are interestâ€" ed in like hobbies? Aren‘t you finding new friends? Aren‘t you proud to be able to show something that you, alone, have done? The first time I entered such a show, I‘m sure my chest stuck ort another six inches. But I had reaâ€" son to. I had just completed a model that was my own work. Since then I have developed my hobbies and settled on lasting ones. So it will be with you if you get down to work and produce things along the lines in which you have an interest. Sometimes these hobbies repay financially well. It may so happen that the hobby you have contributed to the hobby display will be your life work. About the show, I have a few quesâ€" tions to answer. First: All hobbies must be placed in the basement of St. Anthony‘s Church before 7 o‘clock on Thursday, February 3rd, and the disâ€" play arranged. Second: Troops and Packs do not combine in display but have individual entries. Third: The doors will open for the display at 7.15 and the Campfire concert will stant at 8 o‘clock. Fourth: Thursday‘s concert is especially for children. Scouts and Cubs not taking part will be admitted free oi presentation of their badge or registration card. Lastly: Rehearsal will be‘held in the Hollinger hall Satâ€" urday evening, January 29th, at 7. Complete instructions will be issued then.

It was pointed out that all other associations along the T. N. O. railway received their allotâ€" ments at least two months earlier than the delivery in the Porcupine.

For the last two years, the delivery, for some reason has been in November, which owing to the condition of the roads here does not permit of putting these fish in The association will request the Deâ€" partment of Game and Fisheries to put forward the time of delivery of speckled trout fingerlings supplied to this disâ€" trict. Some years ago delivery was made in August or September and sometimes as early as July. For the last two years, the delivery, for some It was moved by Roy Heath and seconded by Dave Small that the Assoâ€" ciation apply to the Goverrment for a supply of Brown trout and Rainbow trout for this district, the opinion beâ€" ing expressed that owing to the heavy cutting of timber and clearing of the bush from banks of small stréams to facilitate the driving of logs, that the water in these streams has become too warm for speckled trout. It was sugâ€" gested that in future speckled trout be planted in spring lakes, of which there are an abundance. The meeting thoroughly endorsed the verdict of the coroner‘s jury in the Frank Bucovich case of October 15th, 1937, regarding the indiscriminate sale and use of .22 rifles and the age of the individual purchasing and using same. The sale of gun licenses for the use of funs of this type should be strictly enâ€" forced and age of eligible persons should be vouched for by a responsible party, the meeting decided. A resolution by Dave Smail and George Biggs recommended that the use of dip nets be entirely prohibited in the district as the pickerel which are being distributed by the Fish and Game Association are being taken in this manner with the result that the amount of coarse fish available is nil. ’ a plan to interest the younger boys in the preservation of fish and game will bu outlined. of coarse fish available is nil.

The game laws are being disregarded by a large number of these hunters and fish and game are being depleted. is impossible for one man to do justice to the size of the country Mr. Boudreau has to cover. The meetâ€" ing felt that a man at South Porcupine and a second man at Connaught are absolutely essential. The opinion was also expressed that Mr. Boudreau is underpaid for the work he has done and is doing. It was reâ€" commended that means of winter transporiation should be furnished him for fast trips when information that is authentic is lodged on infringement of game laws. The meeting was of the opinion that the Game Warden, Phil Boudreau, has too much territory to cover and that he should have two or more assistants working with him. The amount of hunters in the population of this disâ€" trict is large and warrants this increase, to its most successful year. Mr. Nugent has recently taken the pack over from Cubmaster Morris of the 2nd Timmins Group and has well established himâ€" self. This pack has perhaps the largest waiting list in the district.
