Those interested in poultry. throughâ€" out the district have shown a ready interest in the proposal, and planS' are now under way for the organizaâ€" tion of the Porecupine Poultry Associâ€" ation. A meeting to organize will be called, at an early date, this meeting likely to ‘be held at Timmins. Poultry fanciers all through the district have shown that they favour such a plan. Mr. D. R. MeéDonald, of Timmins, has already secured twenty members in Timmins for the propoged Association and this number can be materially inâ€" creased in town, while there is also the whole big district to be considered. Poultry fanciers at South End, Porâ€" .enupine, South Poreupine, Hoyle, Conâ€" naught andâ€" Porquis Junction are equally enthusiastic, and there is every reason to ‘believe that the Pou!â€" try Association will ibe organized and developed into a very useful organizâ€" ation. ‘The present plans favour affiliâ€" ating with the agricultural societies at Porquis Junction and Porcupine, and holding one or.two poultry shows each year. In addition the Association ‘wonld be used to encourage the raisâ€" ing of pedigreed stock in the district and for the exchange of ideas and the general furtherance of the interests of the poultry fanciers of the Porcupine arca. ‘The regular monthly meeting of the Timmins Board of Trade is scheduled for Monday evening next, May 7th, in the Council ‘Chamber. At recent meetings the attendance of citizens has been most encouraging, and much good work has iheen accomplished so far this year, With continued interâ€" est there is a great deal that can be accomplished ‘by the Board of Trade for the Town of ‘Fimmins, if all work together for the general good. _ REGULAR MEETING OF â€"BOARD OF TRADE MONDAY Despite very unfavourable weather Sunday evening, there was a large audience at the New Empire Theatre for the Band Concert given ‘by the Timmins Citizen‘s Band after the church services, The crowd were well pleased with the programme given, Councillor L. S. Newton, iPresident of the Timmins‘ Citizens‘ ‘Band, occupiâ€" ed the chair and his humorous stories and witty comments were features of the evening. A number of wellâ€"renâ€" |dered selectlons were .given by the Band and received heanty applause. TWhe tenor solo by ‘Mr. J.. T. Hefferâ€" ‘nan delighted the gathering and was very enthusiasticwlly encored. Mr. Heffernan‘s number in response was equally appreciated. Mr. J. E. Garâ€" rett gave a baritone solo that also won very hearty encore.‘ Another special number on the programme was the cornet solo by Mr. Q, Brown. This seâ€" lection, ‘‘Killarney,‘‘ had acâ€" "companiment. It made a hit. The cor net duet by Bandmaster F. J. Wolno and Mr. O. Brown won wellâ€"merited recall. : There was also a motion picâ€" ture shown during the evening. There will be another Sunday evening iBand Concert this month in the Empire Theatre. Citizens Should Keep Up the Good Attendance Shown at Recent Regular Meetings. For the meeting Monday night there are a number of important questmns to be dealt with, and a particularly good attendance will naturally ‘be of advantage. > LARGE CROWD AT BAND - CONCERT SUNDAY NIGHT The Timmins Fire Brigade has had seven successful and enjoyable annual balls, and they are gettingâ€"ready now for the eighth which they hope and expect to make even, more successful and pleasing than its predecessors. "-»The eighth annuat ball of ‘the Timâ€" mins Fire. Brag:d'g will be held in the Masonic Hall on Monday evening May Qist. ‘Wolino‘s Orchestra will furnish lthe music for the occasion, and a pleas EIGHTH ANNUAL BALL OF TIMMINS FIRE BRIGADE ing evening may be looked forward to with confidence: ._â€"â€" _ â€" â€"â€" ~ + @ On Tuesday, May Day, thereâ€"was a bxg parade held here. The parade was headed by the Finlander‘s Band and marched from the Porcupine Miners‘ Union Hall to Schiumacher and reâ€" turn. The parade left the hall about 10â€" o‘clotck returning~ to Timmins shortly after twelve. Banners of vaâ€" rious: kinds were carried: expressing the views of the paraders in regard to war, capitalism, the cost of living, and so on. There were a number of women and children in the parade, the march making quite an imposing procession. Several men in town who say they made careful count of those in the parade place the number at 476 not counting the: Band. : Others esâ€" timate that there were closer to 1000 in the line of march, while other more enthusiastic or 1mpressmnable ones place the number still higher.. Howâ€" ever there is no doubt but that there was quite a crowd, and it is equally evident that the ecrowd was. quiet, orâ€" derly and goodâ€"humored. The Finâ€" landers were apparently a material proportlon of the paraders, while Rnsâ€" sians, Austrians and kindred nationâ€" alities were also in strong evidence.. There seemed to be only a sm: ul proâ€" portion of Eno'hsh-speakmv mer in the line of marceh,. . ty Procession, Headed by the Finlander â€" Band, and Carrying Banners, Etc., Noteworthy for Its Qniet Orderliness. BIG MAY dAÂ¥ PARAOE ~HELO HERE on TUESOAY The parade while apparenfly under the auspices of the local. union, or at least with the full endorsemeni of the local union, seemed to, have mox 3 of what may cbroadly be termed tiie poliâ€" tical than the union idea. Am«mo some bodies of workers, partmularly among the European, there seems at the préâ€" sent time to be a tendency to have May I1st as a sort of uabour Day, along the lines of the hohday ‘observâ€" ed usually in Canada as Labour Day, in September. The event Puesday was along this new May Day â€"Labour Day plan. Those in the march all wore red card ‘badges with ‘‘Long Live May Day‘‘ printed on them. Some of them also wore little red butâ€" tons. Those in the parade included workers in the various mines of the ‘district, some coming from as far away as the Dome. The pa,rade ‘also included many not working in the mines at all, and some no dOubt not working any place in particular. After t'h‘eir»‘-Ma-y_n Day holiday the workers in the parade returned to their work as usual this morning, and the mines are going along as usual with the ‘exception that plans _ no doubt are under way to very materialâ€" ly increase the staffs as soon as the full supply of power is availg@ble. CONFERENCE HERE ON SABBATH SCHOOL WORK Mr. Harris, of Toronto, representâ€" ative of the Ontario Religious Educaâ€" tional Council, was a visitor to Timâ€" mins this week an‘d on Tuesday conâ€" ferences were held in the Presbyteriâ€" an church with the religious workers of: the: town, representatives of the Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist and Anglican churches ‘and the Salvation AJ*my being present. ‘There were both afternoon and evening sessions with mspn'an' addressesand> helpfu'l disâ€" cussion.
