The game warden thought ducks caught in ths way were totally unfit for food, but he added that the aliens who were usâ€" ing this trick did not seenr to care how ‘*thigh"" the birds were in taste so long as they were in cost. The game warden took such measures, however, that this dirty scheme was stopped. At the regular mecting of the Tisâ€" dale township council on April 26th, 1918, on motion of Councillors Macâ€" kie and Walton, Thos. E. Ryan was appointed road overséer for the townâ€" ship under byâ€"law. On motion of Councillors Hutchison and Mackis, Wednesday, May 8th, was proclaimed arbour day for the township of Tisâ€" dale. and the clerk was instructed to publish posters and notices urging the people to clean up their promises and assist in beautifying their places as much as possible. Anyone making a list of the bestâ€" natured and most cheerful men in Timmins ten vears ago would have included Alf. Luxton and Geo. Dewar higch up on the list. But in April, 1918, they were two very wrathy genâ€" tlemen. Some sneak theves had enâ€" tered their poultry sheds and stolen valuable â€" fowl _ therefrom. Other similar loses were reported at the same time, and the general opinion was that there must be visitors to town because those days merehants often forgot to take in goods disâ€" played outside the stores, including garden tools, suits of clothes, washâ€" inc machines, boots, and lots of other articles, and the stuff would be safe and undisturbed in the mornâ€" ing. Since then the town has beâ€" come so civilized that it would not be safe to leave the same sort of stuff loose outside in the daytime. Lieut. K. F. DeLong, of the Royal Air Force, was at his home in Timâ€" mins ten years ago on ten days‘ leave of absence, and his many friends were pleased to see that he had made such fine progress to comâ€" plete recovery from injuries receivâ€" ed in the accident some weeks beâ€" fore. In that accident he sustained a fracture to his leg at the ankle, some broken ribs, ‘bad euts on the face and head and many bruises and burns on the body. His esceape from death was a matter of fortune and good management. He had taken up a cadet tm instruction work and the controls of the airship failed to work rightly, with the result that the maâ€" chine fell about 400 feet.

"There were unusualily large conâ€" gregations at the Byrnes Presbyteriâ€" an church on Sunday,"‘ said The Adâ€" ance ten years ago, the regular membership â€" being â€" augmented _ by friends of the pastor who were presâ€" ent to hear his farewell addresses, prior to his departure this week to take up his work in his new field at Richard‘s Landing, St. Joseph‘s Isâ€" land. In the evening, Rev. Mr. Macâ€" donald preached a thoughtful serâ€" mon, the main text of which might be summarized in the quotation with which he closed his address, **Play up, play up, and play the game."

This call made him feel that he had not failed in his effort here and that he had won the support of the people. _ There had been question, kowever, as to the formal legality of the eall to him, and though the Presbytery had enâ€" dorsed the eall, he felt it better to avoid danger of any undereurrents working against him. To do the best work he wanted to be happy in bhis associations, and felt that if even two or three were against him, his work would be handieapped here. He did, however, earnestly advise the memâ€" bers of the chureh to work together in all sincerity, and he asked for the most complete and sympathetie coâ€" operation in chureh work for his sueâ€" cessor, whoever he might be."‘ Mr. Bert Dewar, of the South Porâ€" cupine Nurseries, from a long experiâ€" ence in florieulture and horticulture in the North, advised readers of The Advance ten years ago that June 1st to 10th is early enough to seed or transplant anything outside.""
