The Canadian Bureau for the Adâ€" vancement of Music is well described by its own name and the deseription of its principles and objects may be further detailed by the following words appearing ‘beneath the name on the official letterheads:â€"‘‘*An Asâ€" sociation of. those interested in the general musical advancement of Canâ€" ada through the development of ‘‘music in ‘the home,"‘ church and school. Supported by voluntary conâ€" tributions. *‘ MUSIGAL GOMPETITION Al TORONTA EXHIBITION THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE TIMMINS, ONTARIO Throughout the year the Canadian Bureau for the Advancement of Music does much in various ways to further its purposés, while once a year by competitions in various musâ€" ical lines there is spedial effort to popularize music and to add to its standing and advancement. These musical competitions are made a feaâ€" ture of the Canadian National Exhiâ€" bition at Toronto, and a very special feature of interest and helpfulness they have proven. The syllabus for the competitions this year has just Ibeen received by The Advance. Copies of this syllabus may be secured from Mr. J. 8. Atkinâ€" son, Room 407 Ryrie Building, 229 Yonge street, Toronto, secretary of the Bureau. There are compéetitions in hboth vocal and instrumental musie. The prizes include gold medals, silver medals, bronze medals, also a $75.00 scholarship to the outstanding conâ€" testant in the Ladies‘ Vocal Departâ€" ment, a $75.00 scholarship to the outtâ€" standing contestant in the Men‘s Voeal Department, a $75.00 scholarâ€" ship to the outstanding contestant in the Piano Department, and a $75.00 scholarship to the outstanding conâ€" testant in the Violin Department. All entries for the musical competiâ€" tions close on August Ist. (Competiâ€" tions generally are open to amateurs only, an amateur being defined as ‘*Any person whose principal means of livelihood is obtained from nonâ€" musical work, even if he or she from time to time accepts a stipend or honâ€" orarium for musical services renderâ€" ed, provided the amount received for such musical services does not exceed one hundred and fifty dollars per anâ€" There are so many interested in music in Timmins and district that the competitions and the work generâ€" ally of the Canadian Bureau for the Advancement of Music should be of more than passing interest. TO CONFISCATE UNLICENSED RADTO SETS AFTER JUNE 30 Some time ago, The Advance noted the fact that if the statistiecs of the Department were to ‘be relied upon, then it was ‘certain that there were a large number of unflicensed sets in use in the North Land, the number reported to the Government being only a small fraction of the number evidently in use. Just why radio set owners should ""take a chance,‘‘ inâ€" stead of securing a license is hard to understand. ‘The licenge fee is only $1.00 a year. Any particulars in the matter may be secured from the Radio Branch, Dept. of Marine and Fisherâ€" ies, Ottawa, Ont. â€" The Radio Branch of the Departâ€" ment of Marine Fisheries, Ottawa, has issued a warning to the effect that after the end of Jufhe the Governâ€" ment will take steps to seize all unâ€" licensed radio receiving sets and prosecute the owners for failure to secure radio licenses. Unlicknsed radio sets so seized will be confisceated, and in addition the penalty on sumâ€" mary conviction is a fine not to exâ€" ceed $500.00. A bird! in the hand is bad table manners. "Beauty Makes Diplomats of Us Al" MR. JAS. FILLIER OBSERVES ‘ BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY EUn Tuesday evening, June 17th, a very pleasant evening was spent at the residence of Mr. James Fillher, at Reid Lake, five miles west of Shillingâ€" ton, the occasion being the birthday anniversary of Mr. Fillier. The evenâ€" ing was spent in singing and dancing. Refreshments were provided by the ladies of the district. The guests inâ€" Auded Mr. and Mrs. F. 8. Holton, Mr. and Mrs. Whillington, ‘Miss Beaâ€" trice Humphreys, Mr. Leslie Humâ€" phreys, Mr. J. MeCall, Mr. and Mrs. Owen Douglas and Billy and Violet, and many others. WRONG NAME FPOR GIRL WHO MASQUERADED AS A MAN Recently there was a lengthy article in the Cobalt Northern News regardâ€" ing a young lady from Timmins who successfully posed as a man at a Kirkâ€" land Lake Camp, serving as a cookee, and going undiscovered until she had left the position and was ready to leave the Kirkland Lake Camp. Enâ€" quiry here by The Advance failed to locate anyone of the name of the young lady as given in the Cobalt paâ€" per, so The Advance simiply published the Northern Nelws article as it apâ€" peared, crediting, or blaming, that paâ€" per in the matiter. Since then, howâ€" ever, The Advance has learned the identity of the masquerading young lady. Aipparently she ‘fooled the Kirkland Lake people more than at first appeared. Even the name given was a partial masquerade. ‘Then again, no one may have been fooled at all to any extent. The Board of Trade at the Pus,] Manitoba, recently needed hndnudl assistance just as most boards of tr ade do and application was made to the Town ‘Council in the matter. The Council at the Pas adopted a very good attitude. The members of Counâ€" cil very evidently ‘believed that the Pas Board of Trade was a useful body and might do much effective work for the â€" community. Accordingly _ the Council thought it perfectly proper that the general funds of the communâ€" ity should be used to assist the Board of Trade. The Pas Council added a proviso to this idea. The Council would help just in proportion as the Board of Trade helped itself.. The plan of ‘the Council as outlined by The Pas Herald, is to the effect that the Council will grant $5.00 for each memiber enrolled by the Board up to 50, and $1.00 per member for every memiber over that number. It should be a comparatively easy matter to secure fifty members for the Board of Trade and with the $5.00 membership fee that would mean $250.00 available from the Board‘s own funds and an equal amount from the Council‘s @rant. All round the plan seems comâ€" mendable. It provides that the Board of Trade must be alive, energetic, proâ€" gressive and in earnest, or the grant is small. A large membership means a large grant. It is easy to believe that a Town Council making so ingenious a suggestion would be very ready ‘to further help out the Board of Trade in case some large issue involving special financial outlay should arise. A live Board of Trade should be alble 'to get along well in the Pas. But a 'll\e Board of FTrade gets along .pret‘tv well nearly anyiwhere. And in saying ORIGINAL MEASURE POR HELPING BOARD OF TRADE this it is not amiss to point out that it is the people who are really responâ€" sible for the condition of the Board of Trade in any town at any time. If the people are alive to their own interâ€" ests and the Town welfare the Board of Trade will be all right. The peoâ€" ple make the Board of Trade, alâ€" though in many cases a féw men in a Board of Trade are left alone to struggle along as best they can in the hard task of having a Board of Trade build up the Town. Education will broaden a narrow mind, but there‘s no cure for a big o0 FOR ME â€" 41g9 »Arcsk OH! ARE YOU "THE FORELAOY 2 TIMMINS BRANCH, « soOUTH PORCUPINE BRANCH, JOHN L.
