. _ Commission at Falls Regretfully Come to Decision in the Matter., Timmins, after discussing the subâ€" Ject for awhile definitely deceided to _ stay out of the Senior ranks. North Bay did the same. There was a sugâ€" gestion that Cobalt, Liskeard and Haileybury might go in together but ths never even came â€" to *+practical form. ~Sudbury the loss ‘of Aurie, Rothschild and Langlois deâ€" cided to stay out again. Espanola talked of Senior but decided not to uo ahead. Fortunately the prospects for that cireuit to materialize are ‘bright, and if it goes ahead there should be some first class hockey in the Sault. The Sudbury View Speaking of the N.O.H.A. situation, the Sudbury Starl sayvs: The ‘only way the Sault could get the championship playoffts under these cireumstances would be to draw a bye as representing the N.O.H.A. If the N.O.H.A. senior series falls to pieces the Sault be left dependent for games on a place in the proposed new western cireuit in the United States. y Chancees for a senior series in the Northern Ontario Hockey Association next winter appear just now to ‘be very small. Since the announcement Faught, Rothschild and Aurie were to leave Sudbury to go to London, it has been generally thought that the likeliâ€" hood of Sudbury having a senior team was very small, which meant that a southern group of the league was out of the question. Of eourse there will be hockey but not Semor. A firstâ€"class Intermediate team will be put on and Junior team carried. The Soo View The Soo are quite anxious over the situation as, eviderced by the followâ€" ing clipping from the Soo Star: The situation simmered daown to the. Soo and the Palls being the only teams in Senior bockey. By the whole hearted support of the men in the Mill, the Company and the hockey fans from Timmins, last year‘s season went over well, but it seemed impossible to put over a seeâ€" ond such season, so very regretfully the Hockey (ommxssaon had to decide gamst Senior Hockey here this year. Even after the Comimission bad come to â€" this decision no public announceâ€" ment was made of it on the off chance that something might turn up to alter the sitnation and make it possible to have Senior Hockey but the de('lslon is now final. ' This left only the Soo and the Faills. In regard to the Soo there were all sorts of rumours that they would drop out of the N.OH.A. and go into. Hockey. There were rumours, too, that the whole team: would turn pro. ‘The Hockey Commission has tried to find out deâ€" firitely what the Soo was going to do butâ€"could get nothing definite; howâ€" ever ~the probahmlity was that the Soo would ~remain in and defend the Allan Cup next winter. _lroquois Falls is definitely Sbnior Hockey this. coming This was decided at a meeting Hockey Commission recently, b after the situation had becom« less.

(Many energetic, active inâ€" dividuals get along quite well with four or five hours of sleep. The propâ€" er amount for the average adult, howâ€" ever, is usually between seven and eight hours. (X ecourse it is important to pay atâ€" tention to the ordinary rules of hyâ€" giene, with regard to exercise, fresh air and reasonable diet. iBut awbove The best incentive to sleep is still the feelimg of **something attempted, something done,"‘ particularly someâ€" thing to help others. all, it is important to fill one‘s dife with satisfactory work and play. ing are ceaused" not by sleeplessness, but by worry over not sleeping.

That is what persons do who worry because they can‘t sleep. A postmortem was held toâ€"day and an inquest will be held on Friday of this week in avccordance with ‘tlke usual procedure in regard to accidents at the mines. The late Wilfred MceQuarrie had been a resident of the North Land for many years and had large nuimâ€" bers of friends. He resided with his wife and tfwo children on Messines Avenue, Tummins. Two . brothers, Messrs, Heetor and Henry MceQuarrie have also been resident in town for considerable time. To bereaved widow and children and to the other near relatives and friends there is exâ€" tended theâ€" most sincere sympathy at tims time. caped all injury to the head and face, and by an apparent miracle was to escape serious consequences from the awccident. He did not make progress to recovery, however, and this week a specialist was brought from the city, atter it was found (hat he was sufferâ€" ing from a form of cerebral hemorâ€" rhage. ‘There were no cuts or bruises apparent on the head, and the injury may haive been due to shock or the effect of the accident otherwise. Every possible medical care and atâ€" tention was given at the hospital and after the arrival of the specialist an operation was decided upon as a last resort in the hope doing something to assure the injured man‘s recovery. Mr, McQuarrie, however, despite. alt that could be done, passed away last night. men and shift bosses he was reseued and hurried to the Hospital.

While at work in a stope on Wednesday last at the Hollinger Mine some broken rock gave way and he was buriedâ€"to the shoulders in the tallen muck.

At a meeting of the Timmins Citiâ€" zens‘ Band this week it was decided to join the recently formed Ontario Amateur Bands Association. The Association is to promote musical deâ€" velopment and to assist all bands and advance their welfare. Contests beâ€" tween bands in the Association will be a feature. ’ Chief Greer explained that he was arranging for warning sign boards to be put up at various points in econâ€" formity with the new Highway Act, and he wushed to know what speed limit the Couneil wished in town. After some diss:ussion Council passed a resolution making the speed limit ten miles an hour within the town limits. Councillor Walkingford sugâ€" gested that a silent police be put in at the St. Onge corner. Chief Greer thought such a plan would help greatâ€" ly in regulating traffic at this dangerâ€" ous corner, as all the one way traffic would go on one side of the silent police and the otherâ€"way traftic would go round the other side of the silent police. Council adjourned to meet agkiin on Fmday to take up the Engineer‘s Reâ€" port and the Board of Works Report on the public works for the year. The report of the Fire and Light Conunmittee on, the question of increasâ€" ed fire protection facilities caused much discussion. Tais report is pubâ€" lished in full elsewhere in this issue. The points that created discussion were the suggestion to purchase a secondâ€"hand motor fire truck, and the me asking for the uniforming of the paid firemen. The Mayor was against the purchase of a heavy motor truck and suggested that instead a small truck to carry chemical only be adâ€" ded. In reply to this it was pointed out that this would entail an extra team of horses, without the efficieney that a combination motor truck would give. It would be cheaper and better to secure a chemical and hose wagon of the horseâ€"drawn type, as hose was always necessary, it being impossible to know on answering a call whether the chemical would be sufticient alone or _ not. Councillor Longmore ~exâ€" pressed his opinion that it would be wrong to spend mune'\'; on cheap type equipment. **Get something good‘"‘ he argued "‘or stick to the horses There was the usual discussion of the respective value of light and heavy trucks, Councillor Drew pointing out that the additional width of wheel, better traction â€" and â€" greater power made the heavier equipment the more practical. In the matter of uniforms for the paid firemen, Chief Borland said all other towns had them, and they would give the firemen better standing and encouragement in their work. Councillor â€" Longmore â€" quesâ€" tioned if the $500.00 for uniforms was not more necessary for other pressing town purposes. Chief Borland sugâ€" gested unifonms were more necessary than a public library which he said would likely be simply a hangâ€"out place for those who didn‘t want to work, ‘Councillor Longmore replied that such sort of talk was entirely uncalled for and an unwarranted reâ€" flection on the patrons of the lilbrary. Eventually, with the change the word ‘*otherwise"‘ to ‘"‘or‘‘ in the reâ€" port and the elimination of the purâ€" chase of unifonms, ‘the report was adopted. was pointed out that the matter of uniforms can be taken up at any time, and tha‘t the purchase of the equipment would be discussed by Council before finga.ul_pu;rc.l_lgslg in any Case, The Mayor referred to the parking of cars near= hydrants. Chief~ of Police (Greer explained this was alâ€" ready covered by law. Chief Greer then went on to refer to the parking of private cars on busy streets of the town. He thought it would (be a good idea to reserve Cedar street for the parking of private cars so as to clear the main streets. (Private cars stood in front of business places sometimes all day steady. ‘The Mayor thought the private cars did not inâ€" terfere with the public. No action was taken.

S The Hoodoos on the Cavell Motor Highway, Jasper ~National Park, curious stone figures brought into being by the erosion of the earth under the constant. wearing. effects of air and water, draw exclamations of wonder from thousands of tourists who visit the largest of Canada‘s Naâ€" tional Parks every year. _ Huge flat stones, balanced as hats, atop the pinnacles of earth which have stood up firmly when the : mountain side all around them crumbled or was washed away by the rushing waters, seem as though Mr. Ivan Stadelman is opening a book, stationery and musi¢ store this week to the Minthorm blocGk, corner of Main Avenue and Bireh street, and will open in the new premises on Satâ€" urday, May 3rd, with complete stocks the slightest breath of wind would suffcient to send them hurtâ€" ling to the bottom of the valley hundreds of feet below.
