A confusion of gay colours everâ€" grens and flowers, which filled the arena of the McIntyre Community Building on Monday and Teusday evenings for the annual Horticultural Show, proved the ability of the North in its producâ€" tion of lovely flowers and vegetables, while the Household Science sections proved the domestic ability of the local nousewijves, as well as the eagerness of the people in the camp to participate in this affair. Annual Horticultural Show a Tribute to the Greatness of the North On entering the arena, visitors were greeted by an amazing variety of flowâ€" ers in all colours, and by some of the largest and most perfectly formed vegâ€" etables ever seen in this district. On the right of the main entrance was the Hollinger Mines Disvlay, with flowers, shrubs, and lovely rocks from the mine and gardens, and to the left was the Buffaloâ€"Ankerite display, with a round plot in the centre of it and a backâ€" ground of evergreen trees and lovely fowers. At the very end of the floor was a large painting of mine shafts and gardens, painted for the occasion by Miss Helen B. Manette, of Schumacher. Miss Manette also designed the Hollinâ€" ger Mine Display. The Buffaloâ€"Ankerâ€" ite disolay was designed by Mrs. R. P. Kinkel. Along both sides and both ends of the arena, were arranged evergreen trees, as a fitting, rich background for the floral display. The centre of the floor held a platâ€" form for the bands and other entertainâ€" ment features. On Monday evening, the McIntyre band under the directon cf Lieutenant Lomas supplied the, proâ€" gramme of music and on Tuesday evâ€" ening, the Gold Belt Band entertained the visitors with their music.

To the left of the painting was a beautiful display by the MciIintyre Mine and to the right one from R. J. Ennis‘s garden. The MciIntyre Mine display was especially outstanding, feaâ€" tured with rock gardens, a waterfall, and a little pool with goldfish. The entire display was designed by Miss Helen B. Manetie, assisted by Mr. Geo. Vaughan, and staff gardens. Credit should also go to Mr Harry Manette for the display. ‘Another outstanding disnlay was the one by Mr. W. Ecclestone, a table conâ€" taining cactus Of various sizes and shapes. Another table contained "Vicâ€" tory Plants", an unknown plant which visitors were asked to guess what kind of a plant it was, and a prize of a thouâ€" sand gladiolis would be awarded to the lucky winner. Mr. F. Hocking, as chairman, introâ€" duced Mr. Karl Evre, as acting mayor, in place of Mavyor E. Brunette, who forâ€" mally opened the show. Guest speaker for the evening, was Mr. L. H. Hanlan, Agricultural representative at Matheson. Along one side was a long table conâ€" taining knitwear, pajamas and quilts, displayed by the 1.O.D.E., Gold Nugget Rebekah Lodge, and Women‘s Institute. ‘This showed the ability of the women in this district in doing their bit for the war effort. Among the displays was that of Mr. H. Manette‘s, a row of very large dahâ€" lias in large green tubs. The "Victory Plants‘" were also grown by Mr. Manette Mr. Horne of Kirkland Lake displayed tall vases of gladiolis and assorted anâ€" nuals and dahlias, and Mr. R. S. Skelly of Kirkland Lake, had a display of varâ€" ious annuals and baskets of multiâ€"colâ€" oured flowers. Throughout the arena were placed long tables bearing precious cargoâ€"the prizeâ€"winning flowers and vegetables, with their ribbons to show what prizes they had taken. Acting as judges, were Mr. L. H. Hanâ€" lan, District Agriculturist, who judsgsed the vegetables, and Mr. Arthur Mead, of Sudbury, who judged the flowers and gardens. | ECbe PQorcupine Mopante '“ooooooooooooooooooo On Tuesday evening, at 9 pm. all the vegetables and flowers were sold to the visitors. It was noted that the attendance this year was greater than last year, but this was owing to more favourable weather this vear. The officers and workers of the Horticultural Society deserve high praise for the remarkable showing they made, and congratulations to the artâ€" ists designing the layout, who made the best and most of the opportunity preâ€" sented. Grand Master to Visit Masonic Lodges Toâ€"Night There will be a point meeting this (Thursday)â€"evening of Golden Beaver Lodge, AF. AM. and Porcupine Lodâ€" ge, A.FP. A. M., at South Porcupine, to receive M. Wor. Bro. J. A. McRas, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario, on his oficial yisit. The plan of using "Misses Canada‘ for the sale of War Savings Stamps proved unusually successful at the exâ€" hibition of the Timmins Horticultural Society at the McIntyre Arena on Monâ€" day and Tuesday evenings. The plan for the occasion was in charge of Mrs. M. MacMillan and the results speak for the good work done. In the report of the Horticultural Show reference is made to the three young ladiesâ€"Misses Ann Marie Miller, Marianne Furlong and Elizabeth Sandulâ€"who sold the stamps Monday evening. In an hour and a half they sold $50.00 worth, and would have sold more, but their supply was gone, it being reasonably estimated that $50.00 would be ample for the first night. The three "Misses Canada" on Tuesday night were equally successful, their sales also reaching $50.00, though it was hardly hoped that the second night would be as good as the first. These three young ladies were Misses Doreen Wills, Isabel Flowers and Kaye MacMillan. On the two nights there were three hnundred individual sales, showing that the $100.00 secured was received from many sales and not from a few large ones. Many organizations are doing their best to keen on "keeping on" in spite of war difficulties. One of these is the Schubert Choral Society conducted by Mr. G. E. Hals, Mus. Bac. Plans. for the coming season are not yet complete, and all members and prospective memâ€" bers are asked to attend the opening meeting at C K G B studios on Monday evening, Sept. 14th, at 8 o‘clock. â€" More details will be given next week. $100 Worth of Saving Stamps Sold at the Flower Show schubert Choral Society to Resume Its Practices J.W.

A chief feature was the notâ€" able report of the Kiwanis International convention as presented Reeve Victor H. Evans, who gave a very complete and most interesting account of the convenâ€" tion at Cleveland in June.. There were 6,000 people at the convention. Cleveâ€" land was graphically described as a city of beauty and its history was outlined by the speaker. Seventeen miles of the city stretch along the shores of Lake Erie. It:is the sixth largest city, in the United States and one of the largest industrial centres in the world. John D.

Another special feature of the meetâ€" ing was the brief but inspiring address of Majcor Godden of the Salvation Army recently returned from War Service work overseas. He spoke of the splenâ€" does not seem to be the same certainty as to the need for gold. Personally, he believed that gold would be found the best medium of exchange after the war was won.

He believed that something should be done to organize war industries in the North, as towns had been built up here at risk and difficulty and this effort should not be wasted. There was some question aâ€" bout moving men from the North to munition work and other effort and from the gold mines to the base metal mines. He believed the key to the whole problem rested in the matter of paying Special reference was made by the speaker to the misery and distress sufâ€" fered by good workers dpring the deâ€" pression years. He ventured the opinâ€" ion that it was the determination of the people of South York that this sort of thing should not happen again that resulted in the defeat of Hon. Arthur Meighan and his own election in the byâ€"election some months ago. The speaker made it plain that Canada had ample power to finance affairs so that none need want in this land of plenty. The present war, he pointed out, showâ€" ed that fact beyvond dispute. He urged all to take a little time now to study the situation and make plans so that after the victory was won over the Huns, the average man would have a better chanâ€" ce for fair living.

Atkinson reserved decision until next week in the charge laid against the Empire Hotel, Timmins, by the Warâ€" time Pricey and Trade Board in referâ€" ence to alleged hoarding of tea. At the same time the magistrate made it clear that he considered the charge had been proven, as from their own figures the hotel appeared to have a three years‘ supply of tea bags, which was an unreasonable amount in view of the fact that ordinary people could not have more than a five weeks‘ supply. fence counsel The evidence of F‘. J. Noon, local reâ€" presentative of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, showed that by data given him by Roy Gee, manager of the hotel. and by D. Mascioli, the Empire hotel had 5,000 tea bags on Dec. 31st, 1940. During 1941 the hotel purchased 20,300 tea bags. The inventory on Dec. 31st, 1941, showed 15,100 tea bags on hand. This meant that 10,100 tea bags had been used in 1941. For the first five months of this year 16,080 tea bags were bought. These added to the inâ€" ventory at June 1st made 31,180, while the inventory on Jan. 9th showed 29,840 bags on hand. That seemed to prove that only 1,340 bags had been used for the first half of the year At that rate of use, the hotel had enough tea to last nine years. Mr. Noon Also said that. Mr. D. Mascioli had explained the heavy ‘purchases by saying they were "buying on rising market." ‘Mr. Roy Gége, manager of ‘the hotel, explained that until this year the stockâ€" room system was not working well. The cook, made direct purchases, so it‘ was difficult to be sure of the amount of any commodity used previous to the last few monthg when everything had to go through the stockroom. Mr. Gee adâ€" mitted that he gave the figures to Mr. Noon at various times, but that there was something obviously wrong about 1,340 tea bags being all used in five months. He submitted a statement taken from the records and checked at the stockroom. It showed 5,900 tea bags used from Jan. 1st to June 9th.
