In xeplsmg, to the toast Dr. Macâ€" Kechnie humorously suggested his inâ€" ability to deal with so important a toast, but paid brief tribute to Burns and to Canada‘s hospitality to hetr Scottish citizens. A violin and piano duet by Miss Murâ€" ‘diel Harris and Miss Violet Harris was n . mn \fl\\\\\\\\\ï¬\‘ P n Near 200 at Banquet n Honour of Burns H. R. Stephenson tcast to "The King," the audiernce reâ€"| sponding with the hearty singing of the National Anthem. Mr. Douglas Cotcher, as toastmaster,| then introduced Mayor J. P. Bartleman, who proposed the toast to "Auld Sco-‘ tia." Mayor Bartleman set a happy fashion for the evening for brief but effective addresses. He told of his } respect for the carniness and the loy-! alty of the Scottish peopile and f01" their poet, Robert Burns. He referred | humorously to the Scottish member ofi last year‘s council introducing a resoâ€" lution to make it compulsory for sixty days‘ notice to be given for all locaI! tag daysâ€"â€""so the Scots would havet ample time to be away on tag days." Reverting to the more serious, he touchâ€" ed on the service given Porcupine and Canada by the Scottish people in earlier and present days. The gatherâ€" ing followed this toast by singing "Seots Wha Hae," and this was in turn followed by a rousing rendition of the Burns song, "O A‘ the Airts," by Mir. After the excellent menu had been enjoyed, the chairman proposed the and eXxcellent in every way, as was also the service. The catering was very well ‘done by the Top Hat Restaurant. The tables looked well and were beauâ€" tified by flowers. The haggis wias brought in with the usual ceremony, three pipers playing it round the tables with due honour. Mr. T.

Scotsmen, Mr. Scott felt, should seek to merit the good things said atout them on such occasions as this by using their influence for staâ€" bility and good judgment. He instanced the attitude towards silicosis. Such a subject should not be used for political or personal advantage. South Africa had dealt with this disease effectively, and the North was doing its best to overcome it. There should be coâ€"operaâ€" overcome it, "There should be coâ€"operaâ€" tion and reason, rather than useless bitterness. Without minimizing silicosis, it should be kept in mind that the mining industry and the governments were doing notable work in seeking the greater safety and the better health of the men. Other industries had ocâ€" cupational diseases that were not reâ€" ceiving the same attention as that given silicosis, and he felt good citizens would do the most and the best by keeping the thought of balance and of fairress in mind. Mr. Scott concluded with a tribute to Burns and his ideals. Rev. W. M. Mustard, minister_of the Timmins United Church, said he felt it a great honour to be allowed to proâ€" pose the toast to the "Immortal Memâ€" ory," â€" All over the world on this dayâ€" in the arctic circle, the torrid zones, in hamlets and in teeming cities, people were gathered to honour the memory of the peasant poet of Scotland. There was ro other poet, no other celebrity of any nation to whom yearly tribute was paid all over the wide world, year in, year out, literally through the centuries since his birth. The reason, he believâ€" cd. would be found in the hearts of the Sccttish people, who bore a rare love for the poet who had interpreted the human heart and advanced high ideals sponse gave a perfect rendition of the Sword dance, the grace and skill of the young dancers makirg a decided hit. Mr. M. B. Scott in responding to the toast of "The Porcupine Camp." told of coming here in 1910 and the remarkable changes there had been in the camp since then. MHe pointed out that not only in production of gold had there been startling changes. As one evidence of the development of the Porcupine he referred to the criticism levelled some twenty odd years ago at the supposedly extravagant idea of building a fourâ€"rcomed public school here. Toâ€"day that fourâ€"roomed school is merely the centre part, less than a third,. of only one of a dozen schools needed to meet the needs of the preâ€" sent town.

Curling Assoâ€" ciation. . The bomspiel is being held this year at the Lake Shore town and it is shown that at the time of the bonâ€" spiel, there will be scores of pedple present for the event from all sections of the district. This should mean that it may be possible to secure a gathering of representative citizens of the North to enable the Northern Ontario Assoâ€" ciated Bcards to have a meeting withâ€" out too much extra travelling costs or loss of time. Last year the annual mecting of the Associated Boards was called to be held at Kirkland Lake, The attendance was so small that it was not felt practical to hold the meetâ€" ing. The plan now is to hold the gathering at some time during the bonâ€" spiel week that will be available for those already there at Kirkland Lake, It is hoped that enough members of the Associated Boards will be available for the occasion. A great many memâ€" bers of the Associated Boards are curlâ€" ers and will be at the bonspiel. Wheâ€" ther they will have time enough for the meeting is another question. However, the annual meeting should be a comâ€" paratively brief affair. There are pracâ€" tically no questions to be dealt with apart from the election of officers for the ensuing year. It is only a few weeks ago that the presentation of reâ€" solutions to the Ontario Government practically wiped off any recent quesâ€" tions of the Associated Boards. Any of the matters vital to the North have been taken up with the powersâ€"thatâ€"be in quite recent times. way to the success of the evening. This part of the evening closed with "Auld Lang Syne." Mr. W. H. Wilson played all the piano accompaniments for the evening. After the banquet a dance was enâ€" joyed in the hall until the "wee sma‘ oors." The dancing opened with i\ square dance, the Poreupine District Pipe Bard providing the music, and most of those at the gathering remainâ€" ing for several happy hours of dancâ€" ing and sociability.
