Friday, Dec. 19th is the big day being eagerly looked forward to by all the children of the Town of Timâ€" mins. This is the date of the Comâ€" munity Christmas Tree. The Comâ€" munity Christmas Tree event will commence at 7 p.m., on the Central Public School grounds. Santa Claus is expected in person. There will be presents for each and every youngster in gown. Over 3000 children will be p“)(’ided for in this . way.. This year the Committee have found it necessary to require every cluld to have a ticket. A ticket will be abâ€" solutely necessary before any youngâ€" ster can secure a present. This is to prevent youngsters going back a second or third time for presents as was done in a case or more last year. The idea is that every child should have a present, but that there should not be any duplications. The Comâ€" mittee will make it easy for all the youngsters to share in the good things on Dec. 19th. _ Tickets will be available at all the schools and also from the Committee. _ A ticket will be absolutely necessary. There will ‘be a number of cases for the police court toâ€"morrow, inâ€" cluding sevenml serious charges. The eases adjourned from last week inâ€" clude at least oneâ€" serious charge, and this week‘s eases also include another serious and unpleasant case. Ths is a case where a â€" man is charged with living on the avails of prostitution. The case may develop into a much wider one than at presâ€" ent. There are the usual round of plain and fancy drunks and other routine cases for court toâ€"mgrrow. ANOTHER BUSY POLICE COURT FOR THIS WEEK (Grand â€"Praetorâ€"Keith MeDougall, of South Poreupine.

Accordingly, they are making a house to house canvass for goods and money. They intend, as in past years, to distribute Christmas cheer in the form of clothing, boots, toys, food, etce.
