The Legion‘s funds in this respect need reâ€" plenishing. In recent weeks, indeed, some restrictions have had to be placed on the use of these funds, Already this year the Legion has spent over $1500 for relief. Until the funds are replenâ€" ished it will be necessary to go very easy on the funds as a consequence. The Legzion in Timmins, from its inâ€" ception, has seen to it that not a single known case of an exâ€"serviceman in need has been allowed to go without attention. Tens of thousands of dolâ€" lars have been spent in the work of helping the returned soldiers in this and other ways. The Legion wants to maintain this policy without interrupâ€" tion or change. But to do this they must have the usual generous support of the public. Indeed, even a little more than the usual support in this matter is needed at the moment. Acâ€" cordingly, all are asked to give special support to Poppy Day this year and to the sale of wreaths. A special account has been opened at the Dominion Bank for all funds pertaining to Poppy Day, and all expenditures in future in reâ€" gard to relief will be administered from this acccunt. In this way the public are assured of the most careful disâ€" x tribution. and in addition it is intended Legion‘s Relief Funds Must be Replenished. to have regular audits made and pubâ€" lished from time to time so that the general public may have full acquaintâ€" ance with the uses made of this fund.

These. classes .are. under the auspices of the Timmins Public School Boardand the Ontario Department of Education. The classes are in charge of Mr. E. J. Transom, principal of the Central public school, Timmins, and Mr. S. Kostell. The classes have been unusually successful in past years. Last year there were 82 New Canadians takâ€" inz advantage of the opportunity proâ€" vided by these classes. The value of the classes was not only proved by the testimonials volunteered by members of the classes, but there was a very deâ€" finite proof of the efificiency of the courses by the excellence of the concert of music¢al, literary and dramatic numâ€" bers given at the close of the classes last season.

Weir, anâ€" nounced this afternoon that the inâ€" quiry will be held before Chief Coronâ€" W'omov-o’“omvo' M m l t desired From Sudbury yesterday came the following despatch:â€" "Completion of provincial highways between Sudbury and Parry Sound and between Sudbury and Timmins was urged upon the Ontario Department of Highways by city council in a resoluâ€" tion passed at Monday night‘s regular meeting of council. "Copies of the resolution will be sent to the Sudbury Board of Trade, Busiâ€" ness Men‘s Association, James Cooper, M.P.P., for Sudbury, Parry Sound, Capreol, Milnet and Timmins, requestâ€" ing endorsation and action. "Between Sudbury and Parry Sound there is a total of 66.6 miles of road yet. to be constructed, the resolution pointed out. . Completion of this road would bring Sudbury 35 miles nearer to Toâ€" ronto by road, reducing the milleage from 305 to 270 miles. ‘"The completion of the roads request= ed would be a boon to mining and lumâ€" bering development as well as opening new field of business for all affected," Alderman W. S. Beaton said in sponâ€" soring the resollution. "To the north, from Sudbury, Timâ€" mins is approximately 140 imiles from Sudbury, yet residents of Sudbury have to drive nearly 350 imiles to Timmins, and approximately 300 miles to the mining area of Westree and Shiningâ€" tree, which actually are about 85 miles from Sudbury." For many years The Advance has been urging the completion of this muchâ€"needed highway, pointing out that until there is a twoâ€"way outlet for this part of the North, hopes of tourist trade in this area are small inderd, as driving 500 mileés on a oneâ€"way road and returning by exactly the same rouwe is not an attraction for tourists. OF course, business and Oother reasons for the completion are even stronger than the tourist angle. The proposed ‘way would open up valuable mining land and link up the mining camps of the North. The local boards of trade of this part of the North and the Norâ€" thern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade have repeatedly gone on record as in favour of the completion of the highway to connect Sudbury and Timâ€" mins. It may be taken for granted that the boards of trade and councils of this part of the North will heartily endorse the Sudbury move. On previâ€" ous occasions Sudbury was not enthiusiâ€" astic for some reason or another. Much of the roadway is already bulilt, only needing a few new connecting links and the improvement of existing roads. Dr. J. A. Mc¢Innis, medical officer of health, emphatically denied this mornâ€" ing that a pupll in attendance at one of the local schools has been found to be suffering from smallpox. The ruâ€" mor, Dr. McInnis believed, had been confused with one of about a dozen cases of chickenâ€"pox that have been reported recently. The disease is deâ€" cidedly mild in character but those atâ€" | fected are being kept isolatéd in their homes until the rash associated with the disease has disappeared. er E. R. Tucker on FPriday, October 28 On the same day, it is also planned to prcceed with the inquest into the death of Fred Kobyluck, 36, McIntyre miner, who was instantly killea in a rock fall on the 2800â€"foot level of the property on the morning of October 5. Some doubt exists as to whether this inquiry will be possible, the hearing depending on the appearance of Joseph Michalik, mining partner of Kobyluck‘s who was serlously injured in the same accident. According to present arrangements the double inquiry will open next Friâ€" day morning at the town hall at nine o‘clock, the McIntyre case to be heard first and the Coniaurum case following.
