Reference has been made previously to the intention of the Kiwanis Club co sponsor a cleanâ€"up week in Timâ€" mins so that the health and appearâ€" of the town may be improved and comfort and safety increased. A cleanâ€" up weck includes the idea of paint up, brightening up, shining up. A week of this sort successfully carried through nc:, only adds to the good appearance of a town but it also very materially decreases danger of fires by removing posible causes. The following is the resolution passed by the Kiwanis Club in reference to the matter: The attention of lovers of good music is drawn particularly to the announceâ€" ment made that there will be a choir concert held by the Timmins United Church choir at the Timmins United Church, corner of Elm street and Sixth avenue, Timmins, on Friday evening, June 10th. The event is in aid of the Finnish United Church and a large atâ€" tendance is desired from every viewâ€" point. Last year the Timmins United Church Choir prefisented a similar event under the same auspices and not only was a neat sum realized for the Finnish United Church, but the conâ€" cert itself was also of special value.

Every MONDAY and THURSDAY The blaze, which firemen attribute to defective electric. wiring, had. gained considerable headway when it was disâ€" covered. The building was blazing when the firemen arrived but after a battle lasting about half an hour the fire was brought under control. The hcouse was damaged to the extent of $200, contents being lost to the same value. The owner carried no insurance. After the fire had been quenched Mrs. Veino told the firemen that she had left a purse hanging on a wall in one of the upstair rooms. An investigation disâ€" closed the purse, slightly burned but the contents estimated at $25 was intact. While a mild controversy has waged to and fro here for the past 10 days regarding the observance of Victoria Day, it is now apparent that all stores will remain open on Monday and close on the actual dat» of the holiday, Tuesday. In some quarters it was sugâ€" gested that the stores close on Monâ€" day and open on Tuesday in order that clerks and other employess might enâ€" joy a long The banks and government offices would of necessity have to remain open Monday and close Tuesday and in view of this and other obstacles, it has been decided to obâ€" serve the holiday Tuesday. It has been suggested, however, that a conâ€" certed effort is to be made throughâ€" out the province to have all Dominion holidays observed on Mondays, in fubure, regardless of the day on which they fall. The upstair portion of a house owned and occupied by H. Veino, 110 Avenue Road, was completely gutted by fire shortly before eleven o‘clock this mornâ€" ing.
