All in the cast carried their parts with the same skill shown in the first presentation, duplicating the success of the evenâ€" ing of Nov. 19th, reviewed in these columns a couple of weeks ago. H. UNSWORTH PRESIOENT OF LANGASHIRE GLUB The next meeting of the Club will be on Saturday of this week, Dee. 11th in the Hollinger hall, will be in the form of an open dance. Another enjoyable social evening was spent at the Lancashire Club on Saturday evening in the Hollinger hall. In the last issue of The Simeoe Reâ€" former there is a letter that contains a paragraph that will be of more than passing interest to most people in this town. _ From The Reformer it would appear that one Simeoe man, who has suffered from no less than six recent burglaries, wrote to Alfred Cuddy, assistant commissioner, Onâ€" tario Provincial Police, making the very natural suggestion that he was surely entitled to better police proâ€" tection than he had been receiving. The assistant commissioner did not give the Simcoe man much help or comfort. â€"In fact, it was the usual case of ‘"‘passing the, buck.‘‘ The assistant commissioner suggested that the business men of Simcoe should get together and take the matter up with the town council with a view to securing more adequate police proâ€" tection. It must be admitted that the assistant commissioner did point out the method by which the matter could be most effectively righted. It is, however, the concluding â€" paraâ€" graph of the assistant commissionâ€" er‘s letter that is likely to make the most striking impression on the genâ€" eral reader here. **J might mention,"‘! Assistant Commissioner Cuddy says, ‘"‘that police protection should averâ€" age at least one officer to each thousâ€" and people, and in some places they average one officer to every eight hundred citizens.""‘_ to start knows. Another Enjoyable Social Evening Speunt by the Club on Saturday Evening. A wife giving evidence at a court in Londun, l*nfrland recently, said :â€" **My Hmhnnd has never heen known to tell the truth, and he is not likely Previous to the social features of the night, there was a short business session, chiefly for the election of a President for the ensuing term. Mr. H. Unsworth was duly elected presiâ€" dent of the club. This left a vacancy on the executive, which was filled by the election of Mr. A. Raven. _ Mrs. Parks was elected to the Comâ€" mittee. The question of invitations was again brought up, but it was deâ€" cided to continue the same paln as last season. It was also decided that refreshments should be a feature of the meetings, to start the first meeting in January. ‘The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing, the music being proâ€" vided by the A.8.D. orchestra. Durâ€" ing the evening President lns\\mth took the names and ages of all childâ€" ren of Club members so that the arâ€" rangements may be properly made for the Christmas Tree which is to be held by the Club on Thursday evenâ€" ing, Dec. 23rd. If Timmins followed the proporâ€" tions suggested by the assistant comâ€" missioner there would be fifteen offiâ€" cers here. On the other hand the town had six officers when its populaâ€" tion was twelve thousand, or just half as many as the Provincial authority sugegests.. At the same time it must be said that Timmins was orderiy and lawâ€"abiding at that time, and no need for further police protection was apâ€" parent. _ The fact is that in police officers as in other walks of life, qualâ€" ity counts. A few good men in a good town will do better than more men not so good in a town that is not as orderlyv. OPEN DANCE ON FRIDAY AT CALEDONIAN SOCIETY Next Monday‘s meeting will be a Whist Drive, with a dance after. There will he good prizes given. The event will be open to all who enjoy a game of cards, a nominal admission fee to be charged.

ALLâ€"BRITAIN SOCIAL CLUB ENJOY FINE MEETINGS THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Ask .\‘Iil f TROUBLE 1N MEXICO DUt LARGELY TO BOLSHRFVIKS Stanley Newman, youngest profesâ€" sional billiard player in Canada, and brother of Tom Newman, world «hamâ€" pion, established a new Canadian reâ€" cord for match play when he made a break of 364 when playing against James Quinn, exâ€"champion of Scotâ€" land, at Toronto This break is offiâ€" cially certified to by the Asâ€" sociation of Canada. Rev. Fr. Dumont spoke briefly but told the complete story in powerful way. He pointed out that owing to the rigid censorship in force the newsâ€" papers had not been able to send out the true story of Mexico. He beâ€" lieved that the real commencement of the trouble had been the visiting of Mexico by paid Russian â€" Bolsheviks who had carried on an agitation aâ€" mong the people, based on muisrepreâ€" sentation and illâ€"will, and who had been able to influence the government of Mexico and secure measures for the presecution of the Church and its faithful followers. Rev. Fr. Dumont ommented on the fact that in other countries the evil work of Bolshevâ€" ism was being carried on. There were the same type of agents at work to injure the church and the state in many countries, some not very far from Canada. It might be well to be on guard, he thought. The speaker explained how the government had closed all the ehurches in Mexico, and exiled the priests, the brothers and the nuns. In many cases the church buildings had been torn down or burnâ€" ed. ~Priests had been cruelly used and there had been many brutal murders. He had seen nine good priests hanged on the one tree by government officials without any form of trial, and for no ecrime, except that of being loyal to their church. _ Priests had actually been killed at the altar while saying mass. The government‘s brutal purâ€" pose was to close all churches and all Christian schools, and to prevent every Catholie from partaking of any of the sacraments of the churech or worshipping in the faith he held. The Catholics in Mexico had suffered and were suffering grievously, and theur very suffering at this Christmas time must remind them of the tortures unâ€" dergone by their Saviour whose birth they celebrated at Christmas, and who was reviled and persecuted on earth in the centuries long ago, even as the people in Mexico suffered today for His sake. Censorship of Newspapers Prevents World From Hearing the Facts Says Rev. Fr. Dumont in Address on Mexico. Rev. Fr. Theriault occeupied the chair during the evening in his usual pleasing way. â€"Rev. Fr. J. O‘Gorman, on behalf of the Timmins K. of C., moved a very hearty vote of thanl\e to the speaker for his excellent inâ€" formative address. Rev. Fr. O‘Gorâ€" man spoke briefly on the origin and characteristics of the people of Mexâ€" ico, showing how they would be more or less easy victims for such a conâ€" spiracy as had undoubtedly been planâ€" ned against them. NEW YEAR‘S EVE ORIENTAL BEAN FEAST AND DANCE A Bean Supper, Euchre and Dane will be held by the Ladies of the Orient, Tribesmen and Sheiks, in the 1LO.0.F. hball, Timmins. on New Year‘s Eve, Dee. 31st, at 8.30 p).m. During the evening Mrs. Gauthier delighted all with a very attractive pianoforte solo. A solo by Mr. Lucien Pare was another selection much apâ€" preciated. Light refreshments were served by the lddnes and this part of the programme was also much enjoyâ€" Rev. Father Dumont, Dominican Missionary, gave an address on the situation existing at present in Mexâ€" ico, to the members of the Timmins I\m«rhl\ of C nlumflm\, and their ladies on I riday evening in the Parish hall. The address was most interesting and informative and in brief, terse but 1nâ€" pressive way gave the gathering a very "'ld})hl(‘ dese rlptmn of the presâ€" ent troubled state in Mexico and the conditions that led up to it. _ Owing to the severe weather, the attendance was not as large as it would otherwise have been, but all present were agreed that the Reverend Father‘s lecture was well worth braving the fierceest storm to hear, as he gave clear and firstâ€"hand information on question of vital and worldâ€"wide importance.
