There will be very general regret among all good citizens in town in the knowledge that this year Mr. E. L. Longmore, who has served the town so well in the municipal arena for the past ten years, intends to retire from active participaâ€" tion in the work of civic government. As mayor of Timâ€" mins for the past two years and for the other years that he served, as councillor, Mr. Longmore has given the town of Timmins talent and effort of outstanding order. His unâ€" usual gifts in financing and wide knowledge and interest in municipal matters generally have been of very great value to the town. Without qualification or restriction, he has enjoyed on merit the fullest confidence of the people, and the service he has given the town has been valuable indeed. When integrity and ability are combined in high degree, as in Mr. Longmore‘s case, the town that enjoys such services is fortunate, indeed, and the loss of such services is to be greatly regretted.. It is only fair to say that Mr. Longmore has done his share and is entitled to follow his desire to retire from active work for the town, yet all with the inâ€" terests of the town at heart will regret the retirement while appreciating the good fortune enjoyed for so many years by the town in securing such wholeâ€"hearted and able serâ€" vices. Mr. Longmore will be succeeded in the mayor‘s chair by another man who has given long and faithful service‘ to the municipality. Mr. Geo., S. Drew has had wide experiâ€" ence in the council and in public affairs generally, and his integrity and interest will no doubt carry him through with credit to himself and advantage to the town. The retireâ€" ment of Mr. W. H. Pritchard is another cause for regret, Mr. Pritchard in the arduous work of chairman of the public works committee giving noteworthy time, talent and effort to the work of the town. Public service is notoriously thankâ€" Hon. G. N. Gordon, of Peterborough, Ontario, is accused of believing in V_eniotism, which is the synonym for extreme partyism and the idea that political positions should be the reward not of merit or suitability, but of slavish partizanâ€" ship. Why should the gentleman not believe in Veniotism ? How else could he have become a Senator? With kindest regards, yours affectionately, "A Oneâ€"Horse Weekly." GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Nov. 29th, 1928 The Sudbury Star accuses The Advance of being "affliicted with a Scottish sense of humour.‘" It is not an affliction; Harry Lauder tells of the man staggering home one night in an advanced state of intoxication. His good wife reâ€" buked him. "This drinking business is becoming a habit with you, Jock!" she said.. "Ye‘re wrang there, woman," he replied, "It‘s no‘ a habit,â€"it‘s a gift!"

All Joined in showering Mr. and Mrs. Mcâ€" Donell with best wishes and sincerest hopes that they might enjoy many more anniversaries together. Again, if the daily nespapers are to be trusted a New York young lady in a spirit of playfulness the other day attempted to kiss a young man friend and he resented her action by strangling her to death with a cord from an elecâ€" tric light fixture. If the facts are as stated, it must be sait that both the girl and the young man showed very poor taste. Hardly a day passes but some one rises up to suggest that he or she knows now to run a newspaper better than the men who try to learn the game in actual practice, The critics of the newspapers are so many that not too much attention is paid to them. Occasionally, the critics start a newspaper of their own, and then newspapermen have the last laugh. Once the critics are actually in the newspaper game they, in turn, have to endure the common criticism piled on all who run newspapers, while they lack the fortiâ€" tude and hardihood that long experience in newspaper work gives to its victims to support their souls. Because of all this, newspermen in general do not take too seriously the idea of so many that they could beat newspapermen at their own game. The Advance has gone on advancing, unruffied and unalarmed, during the many occasions when somebody or other was going to show this newspaper how a real newsâ€" paper should be conducted. But at last The Advance is genuinely perturbed. "Lap" Laprairie announces that he is going to issue for a week or two a newspaper that will make them all sit up and take noticeâ€"and nourishment. . The man who could make two whiskers grow where only one grew before is a man to be fsared. ‘"Lap‘" has built up the greatest Charity Turkey Stag known. He is a wonder in securing striking features that appeal to the public. He has a head full of ideas, a frame full of energy; he has enthusiasm, humour, wit, and the faculty of taking the public, eye to ear; also the gift of being able to induce the public to give their money gladly for good causes. Surely these are ideal attributes for newspaper work. So The Adâ€" vance throws up its hands to Lap‘s challenge! His "Turkey Stag Advance‘" will be a paper that will set new standards and prove full of the greatest interest for the people of the town and district. Everybody should watch for this new paper. It will be a humdinger. It will appear in The Adâ€" vance, and the advice is given to all newspapermen to read The Turkey Stag Advance, and in addition to good pointer: on newspaper work, they will have a heap of good wholeâ€" some fun, which is good for newspapermen particularly. As David Harum would say, ‘"it keeps them from brooding too much on being newspapermen." According to The Ottawa Journal a Boston man says that he never heard of Smith or Hoover. How unusual!l Surely, Hoover‘s wonderful flight from the Atlantic to the Pacific in a carpet sweeper will be known to all men and rememâ€" bered as long as liquor flows from Canada to the United States! and Smith! Surely, there is something familiar about that name "Smith!" Oh, yes! Was not Smith the man who discovered monkey glands in Tennessee? People, even in Boston, should read the newspapers to keep inâ€" formed. ' less work,. and worse. Fortunately, however, good men work from sense of duty rather than with any hope of reward. But it is well for the people to express appreciation for outâ€" standing service in their interests The town of Timmins owes much to the long line of able men who have served the town in its municipal government in the years that are past.

Mr. Bough won very hearty applause with his effective presentation of "Alice, Where Art Thou?" Mrs. Shippam gave very valuâ€" able service at the piano in the music for the dancing as did also W,. A.

A movement is on foot in Boston to erect a monument to Donald McKay, the builder of the famous line of packet and clipper ships, which, as the Boston Herald says, brought "Ameriâ€" ca‘s maritime glory to its finest flower," and gave to the merclhant marine of the United States a fame which never before nor since it has held. This Nova Scotian whose genius wrote one of the proudest chapters in the story of the sailing ship literally revolutionized the era of sail. Leaving his home in Shelburne as a youth scarcely out of his teens, and after an apprenticeship in New York and a short time at Newburyport, Mass., where he built in partnership his first vessels, he established the shipyard in East Boston in 1845 from which, during the thirty years which followed, he launched ship after ship, the fame of whose feats in speed and earning power rang around the world.
