Friends in town will be interested to know that Mr. R. LeHeup, formerly C.A.S. superintendent here, and Mrs. LeHeup are now resident in Toronto. In a recent letter here Mr. LeHup wished to be kindly remembered to all friends in the Porcupine, and his good wishes will be warmly reriprocated by the hosts of friends he and Mrs. LeHeup made in Timmins and disâ€" trict. The Allâ€"Britain Social Club will hold a grand dance in the Hollinger Recreation hall on Saturday evening, Oct. 13th. Events under the auspices of this club are always enjoyable, and the feature on Saturday night is sure to be up to the usual pleasant standâ€" ards, and will be enjoyed by all who attend.

Meany this development will be accomplished associations will be broken although for a year or more at least. f it is his intention at some later date It has taken many months to conâ€" sider the appointment of a radio comâ€" mission and no definite appointments have yet been made. Before any scheme of creating a Government monopoly of broadcasting is put into effect, the whole situation will be studied by the commission and recomâ€" mendations made. Radio activities and complications are increasing very rapidly with highâ€"powered broadcastâ€" ing stations. Its scope has ceased to be solely national and has become inâ€" ternational, and soon will be world wide. The meeting to be held at Otâ€" tawa on Nov. 11 will arrange a wave length division between Canada and the United States, and this will be folâ€" lowed by another conference includâ€" ing Cuba and Mexico. Within two years the radio department officials claim there will have to be a world‘s conference and a worldâ€"wide allocaâ€" tion of wave lengths to prevent chaoâ€" tic conditions in broadcasting. To negotiate it is felt there must be a Government monopoly. In Great Britain it is claimed a Government monopoly of broadcasting is working out successfully. The many radio fans in this town and district will be interested in reâ€" cent despatches from Ottawa relative to the Government taking over all radio broadcasting service something along the lines that it is handled in Great Britain. These despatches say that Government officials who superâ€" vise the radio service have long been convinced that radio broadcasting must become a Government owned and operated utility. While this convicâ€" tion is general in official quarters, there is little expectation it will be realized for some time. Governmentâ€"Owned Radio Now Officially Planned A bazaar is announced as to be held on Oct. 25th, 26th and 27th, afterâ€" noons and evenings, in the Oddfellows hall, South Porcupine, for the benefit of the South Porcupine R.C. church. Further notice will be given next week regarding the attractions at the event. A complimentary banquet was tenâ€" dered by the North Bay Board of Trade to the delegates and this was a very pleasing event. At this bangquet the great resources and possibilities of Northern Ontario were emphasizea by the various speakers, together with reâ€" ferences to the enterprise,; faith and courage of the people of the Nortnhn. The necessity for power development and the power resources on the Ottaâ€" wa river were touched upon by E. A. Lapierre, M.P. for Nipissing and H. Morel, M.P.P. One of the most interâ€" esting and arresting suggestions was that of C. L. Burton, of the Toronto Board of Trade, who stressed the posâ€" sibilities of air mail routes for Northâ€" ern Ontario. The North Bay Board of Trade provâ€" ed ideal hosts for the occasion and their fine hospitality most favourably impressed the delegates from all secâ€" tions of the province. BAZAAR AT SOUTH PORCUPINE OCTOBER 25th, 26th, AND 27th A resolution from the North Bay Board of Trade suggesting that the route of the Transâ€"Canada highway could be best planned by using the Ferguson Highway was left to the incoming executive for consideration. The North Bayâ€"Ottawa Highway was the subject of a resolution sponâ€" sored by H. K. Carruthers and Cecii Bethune of the Ottawa board in which the growth of the motor traffic beâ€" tween Ottawa, North Bay and Sault Ste, Marie was referred to. The asâ€" sociated boards were asked to make representations to Hon. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests to take steps to rebuild that portion between Pembroke and Calender, particularly between Petawawa and _ Mattawa. This resolution received the support of the boards. A resolution from the Fort William Board of Trade requesting the Proâ€" vincial Government to press the Maniâ€" toba Government regarding the point of contact between the Ontario and Manitoba portions of the transâ€"Canaâ€" da highway was adopted.

In the early days Dr. Wright stated that there was no xâ€"ray machine north of Cobalt and even today some of the towns are sadly lacking in this respect. Dr. Wright stated that he was sorry Dr. Wright mentioned that there are not many residents left in Smooth Rock Falls now â€" who came here the same time he did. In fact he stated that as far as he knew the only two left are Messrs Guy C. Lawson and Harry Halvorsen. The Smooth Rock hospital today stands on the same site as it did in those days. Dr. Wright stated he was pleased that Smooth Rock people would have the advantâ€" ages offered to patients when they move to their new hospital shortly. In a reminiscent mood Dr. Wright told of the early days at Iroquois Falls. He mentioned how Dr. Dorsey had financed a little hospital of his own in a building located at what is now known as Ansonville. Later this hosâ€" pital was burned and a new hospitat organized in a building given by the company. Dr. Wright first came north in July of 1914, when he became associated with Dr. Moore, of Timmins, who had charge of the Morrow and Beatty conâ€" tract at Iroquois Falls. It might pe remarked here that this has reference to the construction of the mill at Troâ€" quois Falls. In 1915 Dr. Wright removed to Schuâ€" macher with Dr. Moore, where he reâ€" mained until April of 1916, when he removed to Smooth Rock Falls, Dr. Wright practised in Smooth Rock Falls until 1924, when he went to Kapuskasâ€" ing although he still retained his pracâ€" tice in this town until his retirement during the past week. Many people throughout the north country will learn with regret of the departure of Dr. C. F. and Mrs. Wright, who are moving to New York shortly. Dr. Wright who has been in charge of the practice of Smooth Rock Falls, tendered his resignation recently and will take post graduate work in severâ€" al of the larger New York hospitals for a year or so, after which he will cross to London and Vienna for further study. Upon his return he will reside in Toronto where it is his intention to specialize. One of Pioneer Doctors Leaving the North Land The Timmins High School team enâ€" tered for the event was not allowed to compete. The reason given for this was that the statements of dates of birth were not supported by affidavits from each of the parents concerned. The refusal to allow the High School boys to compete, when they had taken every precaution that they knew of to live up to the rules was a big disapâ€" pointment. It is not likely that they will ever again place themselves open to similar disappointment after the asâ€" surances given them in Timmins as to their eligibility a few days previous to the race. All the Timmins lads were young fellows attending High School here and there could be no serious question as to their being within the age limit. They were debarred apparâ€" ently on account of that old arch enemy of good sport and good everyâ€" thing elseâ€"red tape. Cobalt did not enter a team in the race this year, though the event was held last year from Cobailt. The race this year was over a course of 100 yards short of two miles, or a total of 11 miles, 1160 yards. The following from this week‘s Broke Hustler, of Iroquois Falls, will be of interest to many in Timmins and disâ€" trict:â€" HAILEYBURY â€" Russel Popplton, (Capt.); Milton Eliiocott, Stanley Godin, Raoul Lacarte, Martin O‘Grady and Lars Carlson.

Stull, in charge of the Falcon, and Pilot G. H. R. Phiilips, in charge of the Gull, both left Sioux Lookout on Saturday for the Sault, but word reached the Sault on Saturâ€" day morning that they had been forecâ€" ed to stop off at Long Lac, approximaâ€" tely 300 miles away, owing to bad weaâ€" ther. to reâ€"visit the scenes of his early laâ€" bours. ; £ In parting he paid a great tribute to the coâ€"operation extended him by his associates at Smooth Rock Falls and Kapuskasing, Dr. J. W. Sinclair and Dr. Albert Wright. With his departure people of the North will lose a good friend, one who was at the same time a medical man and counsellor. Certainly he carries with him the best wishes of a host of friends from Smooth Rock Falls. Forestry Air Patrol Closing for the Season Following instructions from the Proâ€" vincial Air Service headquarters to close all bases. remaining pilots in the outpostf of Northern Ontario are aâ€" waiting favourable weather conditions to fly back to the hangars at Sault Ste. Marie, where the machines will be taken down and overhauled over the winter. Three of the machines, all of the H. S. 2 L. type, have already returned to the hangar. These are the Pigeon, Pilot E. Ahr, from Sioux Lookout; the Nightingale, Pilot W. H. Filchie, from Sioux Lookout; and the Jackdaw, Pilot William Lyons, from Fort Frances. Much Work Done at the Canada Night Hawk Mine The holdings of the Canada Night Hawk are over thirty claims, and a large amount of work has been done on the claims during the summer, with promising results. The president of the company, J. A. McIntosh, of Toâ€" ronto, has spent much of his time this summer on the property directing deâ€" velopment work. He deserves success as he has spent a large amount of money, and has a complete plant to produce ground barite ready for, marâ€" ket. Starting at 3 p.m. on the firing of the signal gun by Reeve R. J. Carter, of Kirkland Lake, the race was over by 4.15 and two hours later the teams with thier substitute runners, the members of their local committees, the members of the general executive comâ€" mittee, Reeve Carter, representing the Township of Teck; Rev. J. F. Anderâ€" son, pastor of the United Church: and other friends to the total of nearly 125 sat down as guests of the Homer L. Gibson Company to a most bountiâ€" ful repast provided and served by the Ladies of the United Church of Kirkâ€" land Lake. The banquet was followed by congratulatory speeches, the preâ€" sentation of the Northern News shield and individual cups to the winning team, and silver medals to each memâ€" ber of the second team, community singing and the showing of a series of moving pictures of local interest by F.
