Progress would best be umclv.‘. he thought, by keeping all factions and partyism out of the Board of Trade and similar bodies. He spoke of the prospects and opportunities before the people of Timmins if they worked together. The town enjoyed the fame of the Hollinger; it was in the centre of the Poreupine, and there was undoubtedly a wonderful future for the district. ‘"*I would rather pioneer a new country and work to make it ‘blossom like the rose‘ than ride around in an easy limousine,"‘ said the speaker, in touching on the contrast â€" between â€" metropolitan life and life in the newer places. He closed his eloquent address with an apt quotation from Kipling showing that the strengeth of the people of any community lies in union of effort and unityvy of aim. President King, before introducing the other speakers, explamed that a ditfereat and more commodious place was beirg secured for Board of Trade meetings, and he invited every eitizen of the town to join the Board of Trade and to make that body The banquet closed at the rvight hourâ€"neither too late nor too early â€"with ‘‘God Save the King." It is the intention of: the Board of Trade to have similar events every month or two, with outside speakers. and the success of Thursday evening‘s event will no doubt encourage tlus geood plan.

It is founded on Charles Dickens‘ masterpicce, **+A Christmas Carol,"‘ and the interpretation of the story was effected witlh art and ‘skill. Of course the féew who missed reading CA Christmas were pleased to follow this wonderful story new to them, while those who had read the masterpicce, and even those who had read and reâ€"read ii, were delighted with the motion picture interpretaâ€" tion. Again, it may be said that it is a standing puzzle why the motion picture producers do not go more and imore to the genuine good old stories that have charmed the reading public by their power and beauty, rather than run to death the hackneyed sitâ€" uations, sueh as what wags onece termâ€" ed *‘ cternal triangle,"‘ but which | has become *‘ the inferual triangle,""‘â€" iwo men and a woman.
