‘ Suggest Extending of Boy Scout Work in the Distric OUne of the problems that appeal to thoughtful and farâ€"seeing people is that of providing the proper occupaâ€" tion and interest for lively boys. All are agreed that on the boys and girls depend the future citizenship of the country, yet in practice all do not give the time, thought and care to seeing that the boys have the best chance aâ€" long the right lines. Recent addresses at the Kiwanis Club and the plan of Mr. Austin Neame for teaching boys first aid work and physical training suggest how the Boy Scout movement might be used for the decided advanâ€" tage of the boys in general. The Boy Scouts are nonâ€"sectional, nonâ€"politiâ€" cal, nonâ€"sectarian. It provides atâ€" traction for boys. It takes them from the street. It gives them a fine interest in life and effort. It imparts discipline, and at the same time gives the boys the fun they want and that they are entitled to. Boys like the Boy Seout plan, and the movement helps to build them up in every way. Mr. Neame‘s first aid and physical culture is along the same line, and it would seem to be the best idea if the two plans could be combined. _ In brief if Mr. Neame would be induced to take up the Boy Scout movement, and the boys generally attracted to the extended work of the organization GALE OF BEER STARTED}~ IN TIMMINS THIS MORNING Further Delay in Opening the Liquor Store Here. Held Up for Fitâ€" tings Being Made in Cochâ€" rane This (Thursday) morning the sale of beer under the new Liquor Control Act opened at the beer warehouse, 106 Balsam street south. The preâ€" mises are owned by Mr. Jos. Clusian, and Mr. Clusiau has charge of the sale of beer for the breweries, the reâ€" presentative of the Government in the matter being Mr. Albert A. Panâ€" quette, of Golden City. _ The brewâ€" eries appoint their own agents, subâ€" ject to the approval of the ILuquor Commission in such cases, while a special agent acts for the Government Mr. Pauquette being appointed for the latter position. Beer may be brought now by those with permits. Purchases of six pint bottles, by the case, or barrel, may be made, the maximum for one purchase being five cases. Pints cost $3.50 per case, with a rebate of 72 cents when bottles are returned. Quarts are $3.35 per case, with rebate of 60 cents for returned bottles. This figures out to less than 11% cents a pint for beer. Boy Scout Movement Might Give Enlarged Attraction to Boys of Town and District and Prove of Pleasure to Boyhood and Advantage to Citizenship. While there will be general satisâ€" faction at the opening here of the sale of ‘beer under Government Conâ€" trol, there is not the same reason for contentment in regard to the opening of the Government Liquor Store. The latter will not be opened on Monday next as expected. There is now further delay due to the apparâ€" ent slackness of those in Cochrane making the fittings. The store here is now awaiting the fittings and noâ€" thing can be done until those fittings arrive. The fittings were pl'omlsed for delivery here not later than last Saturday.° This was later changed to ‘hm Saturday, but the chan(oex are said to be slim for the fittings to be delivered this week. Those acquaintâ€" ted with such matters say that the required fittings could be made in fortyâ€"eight hours it there were special need for rush as there is in this case. Some here believe that the delay in sending on the Timmins fittings is due to the fact that either the Cochrane store fittings are being made first or at the same time. If this is the case, the Government should cancel the orâ€" der and place it where the work will have the proper business attention. The Timmins order has been in for weeks, and the delay is absurd on its face. As soon as the fittings are reâ€" ceived it will be only a day or two beâ€" fore the store will open. Its would appear that neither the commussion nor the Government are to blame for the present delay in opening the store, cxeept in so far as the makers of the fittings required are not hurried forâ€" ward or changed. Certainly the vender is not responsible for the deâ€" lay. Mr. Torrance would have openâ€" ed the store several weeks ago, even though it were only in selfâ€"defence, to escape the everlasting query thrown at him from all quarters at all times: ‘*When are you going to open the liquor store?"‘ The cooler weather and the heavy rains quenrched the bush fires in the distriet. It is only fair to add, howâ€" ever. that even before the rains came the fire rangers seemed to have them all in good control. Paid Circulation Last Woeek Ohe Mr. A. 8. Fuller, one of the best known brokers and mining men of the Poreupine area in its earlier days, has moved to Toronto where it is underâ€" stood he will take charge of a big industrical company promotion. There will be general regret at Mr. Fuller‘s removal from the Poreupine, as he is one of the oldâ€"timers who have done much indeed in the developâ€" ment of the area. The Porcupine has had few bigger boosters. Not only did he urge others to invest here, but he spent a lot of his own money in deâ€" veloping properties here. In the earâ€" ly days of the camp» he conducted brokerage business in the camp for many years and at the same time enâ€" gaged in prospecting and other minâ€" ing activities. Later, he sold his brokerage business and took over the management of the Paymaster Mine and under his guidance the property developed into a mine. _ For some years past he has lived at the Payâ€" master, but latterly has not been acâ€" tive in the management of the proâ€" perty, though being second viceâ€"preâ€" sident, but devoting his attention to other properties in which he is inâ€" terested. He retains his interests in the Paymaster and also in a number of other Poreupine properties, as well as other interests in the North Land. the benefit to the boys and to the disâ€" triect would be a decided one. Among those interested in boys, there is an axiom to the effect that there are no bad boys, but only lads whose energies and ability become misdirected. The Boy Scouts appears to offer a plan whereby all boys can be directed along right lines, while the boys themselves will find it all the kind of good wholeâ€" some fun and sport that they enjoy. Mr. Neame greatly interested the Kiâ€" wanis Club at the Monday luncheon. He interested the boys who were presâ€" ent as guests. The Boy Scout plan has been done great good in Timmins and district in the past. Still wider fields of usefulness seem to open beâ€" fore the movement. It would appear that the present is a particularly opâ€" portune time for the extension of the Boy Sceout plans here, and The Adâ€" vance would suggest that the Boy Scout organization and Mr. Neame and the Kiwanis Club and other orâ€" ganizations interested and the general public, all grasp the opportunity and get together and see what may be done to extend and enlarge the Boy Scout plan of the district so that it may take in all boys and its influence may thus be broadened to the decided advanâ€" tage of all concerned.

It is expected that the Shelter will be completed and ready for use in the next two months. ALGONQUIN RIFLES HAVE RETURNED FROM CAMP After ten days at the training camp at Owen Sound the 97th Regt. (the Algonquin Rifles) returned to the North last week. They report the camp as one of the very best yet. The weather during the camp was about ideal, and d” found the event a very pleasant one. During the camp the Old Home Week was in progzress at Owen Sound and this was an added attraction for the soldiers in camp. There were instructors from Canada‘s permanent foree to supervise the «drills and training, and as a consequence the course was valuâ€" able as well as pleasant. There were 25 from South Poreupine, Timmins and Schumacher going into camp with the regiment, while another 45 men came from the Cobalt and Haileybury distriet. The full complement of officers and men from this North totaled 98. _ Leut.â€"Col. Mac Lang, MP., was the officer commanding. The Sudbury Star last week says: **Miss A.

Caldbick, Dr. A. P. Brennan, L. Halperin, W . D. Cuthbertson. The speaker of the day was Mr. Austin Neame, of Schumacher, whose address was most interesting and atâ€" tractive to members and boy gusests alike. Mr. Neame spoke on first aid work for boys, touching specially on drowning accidents â€" and _ electrical shocks. _ He demonstrated the right way to deal with these classes of acâ€" cidents. All were greatly impressed by Mr. Neame‘s presentation of his case. Another much appreciated speaker for the day was Rev. H. J. King, .of St. Catharines, father of Mr. E. H. King, postmaster here. _ Rev. Mr. King spoke ably and helpfully on the improvements he noted in the town, such as the park at the station, and the other evidences of public interest in beautifying the town and adding to its advantages. Mr. Woodbury reported for the playgrounds committee pointing out the progress being made. s Reference was made to the District Convention to be held in London, Ont., in October, with the idea of having as large a representation as possible from Timmins at this event. STORES LIKELY FOR COBALT HAILEYBURY AND u[SKEARD Three smallâ€"sized stores, one each, may be established in Cobalt, Haileyâ€" bury and New Liskeard, instead of a central store for Haileybury alons, according to the present opinion of the Liquor Board as it is believed to be. Mr. A. J. Kennedy, M.P.P., is underâ€" stood to be pressing for five stores to accommodate the people of his riding, the two extra stores being at Elk Lake and Englehart BAND REGATTA ON CGINIC HOLIDAY, AUGUST ARST The six other regattas have proven popular and the programmes provided hbave always been much enjoyed by large crowds. ‘The band has kept the regatta going for half a dozen years, and each year it has been better than the previous one. The commutâ€" tees in charge this year expect to put on a programme that will be especiâ€" ally popular. The events will include swimming races, canoe races, **‘chasâ€" ing the duck,"‘ diving contests, gunâ€" wale ceanoe race, walking the greasy pole, boys, and girls‘ foot races. A special feature will be the outboard motor boat races for 2% and 4 horse power ‘boats. The Geo. Taylor Hardâ€" ware Co., has given a handsome silver cup for the winner of the 4 h.p. outâ€" board motor races. _ There will be good prizes, as usual, for all events of the day. Programmes of the day‘s events will be issued later and full particulars of the regatta may be gleaned from these. The expenses of the oceasion are met by the sale of tags. The people in general are asked to all buy a tag, as otherwise someone else has to pay for the sport, which is not fair. Any surplus from the event goes to the bard. The regatta will commence this year at 2 p.m., and this year as in past years the plan is to run off the events on the time speciâ€" fied on the programmes. The seventh annual regetta, under the auspices of the Timmins Citizeng‘ Band, will be held at the Mattagami river landing on Monday, August 1st, which is civic holiday for the town of Timmins. Seventh Annual Event Will Have Atâ€" tractive Programme. Outboard Motor Races Very Popular TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 21st, 1927 r. Austin Neame Gives Interesting Address on First Aid Work for Boys. This week settlers in the district are receiving the balances due them from the Mattagami Pulp Co. _ For over six years agltdtlon has been carâ€" ried on by several individuals and orâ€" ganizations to have the settlers paid in full. Now that this has been done there is very general satisfaction. The paying of the settlers will be of great value to the North, as the setâ€" tlement of the ease will put renewed hope and faith in the settlers. _ In brief, the story of the matter may be reviewed as follows:â€"During the winter of 1920â€"21 the Mattagami Pulp oETTLERG PAID N FUL FOR MATTAGAMI ACCOU] Co. bought pulpwood from the settlers in this district. The company indueâ€" ed the settlers to accept notes in payâ€" ment. . The settlers thus gave up their remedy of the usual lien on the pulpâ€" wood they had sold. When the notes came due they were dishonoured and the company going into liquidation it looked as if the settlers were to lose out. The Advance at once took the matter up and has been returning to the battle for the past six years. Every time an effort was made to "‘reâ€" organize‘‘ the Mattagami Co., (and many such efforts were started), the battle was renewed for the payment in full of the settlers for the pulpâ€" wood sold. The Timmins Board of Trade and the Associated Boards of Trade took up the auestion, and every time it appeared as if high finance had another plan to leave the settlers without their money, there was very strenuous objection. At last a proâ€" mise was secured from Hon. Mr. Lyons, then Minister of Lands and Forests, that no transfer of limits or other favours would be permitted by the (Government unless the settlers were fairly used. Then Hon. G. Hoâ€" ward Ferguson, the Premier, was inâ€" duced to take an interest in the matâ€" ter, and he was determined that the settlers should get a fair deal. Mr. A. F .Kenning, MP.P., has worked hard to see that proper relief was given â€" the settlers. The combined efforts of all working for the settlers Cheques for Balance Due from Pulp Company Being Received This Week by Settlers in This District. has resulted in the pioneer farmers being paid in full. When the Matâ€" tagami assets were taken over by the Abitibi Fibre Co., the biggest part of the battle was over. The Abitib Fiâ€" bre Co. is practically the same conâ€" cern as the Abitibi Power Paper Co. and that is practical assurance of generous cusage for the settlers. Some months ago unsecured crediâ€" tors (including the settlers) received oneâ€"third of the amounts due them. This week cheques from the Abithi Fibre Co., sent without prejudice, and as a matter of personal interest in the welfare of the settlers and the deâ€" velopment of the country, were forâ€" warded to the various settlers conâ€" cerned, paying them in full the balance due on the accounts for pulpwood ‘bought by the Mattagami Pulp Paper Co. With the purpose of giving fhe boys of the district an opportunity for physical training, first aid work, and other good things that lades are interested in, Mr. Austin Neame, of Schumacher, is opening classes for this work at Schumacher,. All boys between the ages of ten and fifteen will be weleomed and they will find the work of great interest and benefit. Mr. Neame intends to specialize on physical training for boys, the teachâ€" ing of artificial resuscitation, elemenâ€" tary first aid work, ete. All normal boys will find the work most fascinatâ€" ing and in addition it will prove of decided value to the ‘boys in every way. â€" Mr. Neame‘s hope is to interest the boys in the lines referred to and then he believes they will almost autoâ€" matically graduate into organizations such as the Trail Rangers, Boy Seouts, etc. The need and value of bovs inâ€" terested in matters like these should be apparent, and Mr. Neame deserves much credit for inaugurating his plan. It would appear, however, to be still better if the Boy Scouts, for instance, eould secure! the_ services of Mr. Neame, and extend their organization to take in the very interesting and helpful work proposed by Mr. Neame. Boys and their parents alike will be pleased indeed in later years at the training, the discipline, the knowledge and the skill that would be developed from having the lads oceupied now with work of the kind suggested. Mr. and Mrs. John Archer,. Jr., and dauglhiter, Jean, returned Jlast week from a vacation spent in Owen Sound and North Bavy. PHYGICAL TRAINING FOR BOV§S AT SGHUMAGHER Mr. Austin Neame Opening Classes in First Aid, Etc., for Lads of the ; District. i There was a fair crowd present on Wedndsday afternoon for the Joc Bradette, M.P., Picnic and Sea Party at Dalton‘s Park. There were different sports and novelties inclucâ€" ing ~baseball, softball and other feasâ€" tures. _ The baseball match was beâ€" tween the Tuxis and the Canadien:. while the softball was between two teams oi ladies representing the Ramâ€" blers and the Timminsâ€"Hollinger girls. There was much amusement created by the contests for climbing the greasy pole and catching the greasy pig, the contestants having a slippery time of it, though everything went smooth enough. On account of lack of enâ€" tries the woodâ€"chopping contest was not proceeded with. A special feature of the afternoon was the presentation by Councillor Geo. 8. Drew of a goldâ€"headed cane Driver of Car Sentenced to $100.0/0 Fine and 14â€"day Term for Rec%â€"(; less Driving. Sunday evening between nine and ten a car driven by James Chisholm crashed into Hamilton Dwyer‘s five ton bus on the Hollinger road in a startling headâ€"on collision. The car was said to be travelling at a very rapid pace and not keeping its own side of the road. The bus had no chancee to avoid the collision, but the heavy motor bus stood the impact well and suffered little serious damage. The car was badly damaged, the whole front being smashed in, and the engine driven back to the front seat. The driver sustained a broken nose and some minor cuts. Another occupant of the car, Laurence Burns was badly cut about the lips and face and was bleeding profusely. . He was taken to the hospital where his injuries were looked after, Dr. Minthorn having first given surgical attention and treatment needed immediately after the accident. Mr. Burns is recovered this week sufficiently to leave the hospital and is not expected to suffer any permanent disability from the acâ€" cident. _ At police court this week Chisholm pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless driving and was sentenced to fourteen days in jail and a fine of $100.00, or an additional thirty days.

The car is the property of Mrs. Ritâ€" chie, of Schumacher. The second fire was at the incineraâ€" tor, the alarm being given by teleâ€" phone from a hbhouse in the district. The fire was in the sawdust on the fsor, and as the floor is cement and all the rest of the structure fireâ€"prootf no harm was being done by the blaze which no doubt bhad started by fire dropping from the furnace part of the building. In both alarm ealls the fireâ€" men made the usual very prompt reâ€" sponse. In accordance with a_ resolution passed at a recent meeting of the town council, Mayor E. L. Longmore has proclaimed Monday, August 1st, as civic holiday for the town of Timmins. Stores will be celosed on that day as usual on such holidays. For several years past it has been the practice of the Timmins Citizens‘ Band to hold its annual regatta at the Mattagami river on that civic holiday, and this will be the case again ths year. The firemen had two calls toâ€"day,â€" one before noon and the other after dinner.
