Another feature of the meelting on Tuesday evening next will be the elecâ€" tion of officers for the ensuing year. In view of the importance of a board of trade to a town, the people in genâ€" eral should make sure that the local board has capable and earnest officers. The officers for 1928 have achieved a great deal despite all handicaps, and it might be well to reâ€"elect the most of them again if they can be perâ€" suaded to act. In any case, however, there should be more general interest shown in the work of the board of trade if it is to achieve its best results. FUNERAL WEDNESDAY OF MRS.

WONDERFUL "WIRE" GOLD FROM CARSCALLEN AREA Rare Samples df Ore Create Great Interest in Toronto. Ore from S. Beanland‘s Claims. Some time ago The Advance had reâ€" ference to remarkable samples of gold ore from S. Beanland‘s claims in Carsâ€" callen township, west of Timmins. Samples from these same Carscallen claims are creating very great interest in Toronto at the present time. The samples were given to the Ontario Deâ€" partment of Mines by the owners of the property, and the department has had them under examination. The Toronto newspapers have made many references to these unusual samples, while the Canadian Press despatches iave also given extended mention of them. The samples are referred to as the first example of crystallized ore "wire" gold ever found in Northern Ontario. If this is correct, then these samples were shown in Timmins some lyears ago, The Advance remembers several years ago seeing "wire" gold samples from Carscallen claims. The samples shown at present in Toronto are only two or three inches in length and about the same in width. They 6 5t 0 5 are considered as specially rare and | , noteworthy. The gold is spun in|: "wires," as it were, of particularly fine|, kind, like a spider‘s web. The gold "wires" are very fragile and so have to be handled with the greatest care. Dr. A. G. Burrows, Provincial Geoloâ€" |gist, is quoted as stating that such finds “ are very rare indeed.

Paid C IMMIGRATION DISGUS AT KIWANIS GLVB A Kiwanis Impressed by Original Sugges« tions in Address by Chief of Police McLauchlan The speaker for the day at the Kiâ€" wanis Club luncheon at the Empirg Hotel on Monday this week was Mr. L. McLauchlan, chief of police for Timmins, whose address on immigraâ€" tion and its problems was full of ideas that gave ground for thought to the members. Mr. McLauchlan, from inâ€" timate knowledge of immigration mat~ ters during the many years he was on the Dominion Police force, and from personal study of the problems since, was particularly well equipped to disâ€" cuss the question and his address WAE greatly appreciated by the Kiwanis. At the present time, he said, there is % great deal of immigration that is not much of an asset to the Dominion. Mr. McLauchlan particularly objected to a certain class of immigrant whe hardly reached this country before they sought letters of recommendation and other assistance to get into the United States. To make Canada simply port of entry to another land was not fair or reasonable. The speaketr thought that efforts should be cenâ€" tred on securing immigrants who would stay in Canada and become good citiâ€" zens. while the others who showed they would not be assets should be kept out. He suggested that a form of conscripâ€" tion of immigrants should be enforced for a period, say, of three years. During that time the immigrants should be looked after by the authorities and placed where they would be of the most use to themselves and to the country. The present tendency for al to drift to the cities to add to unem» ployment and other problems there would be avoided by this plan, which could be worked out to the decided benefit of the immigrant and with. eventual advantage to the country. some form of training system to adapt immigrants to the ways of this counâ€" try and to the lines for which they |were most suited would also be beneâ€" . | ficial. Mr. McLauchlan referred particularâ€" ly to the problem of how best to guard the real interests of boys after they were sixteen and had left school. This was a time when many boys started an the wrong road and the country thus lost good citizens and added to its problems. He thought the Government might take charge of immigrant boyE W us ~ 4 cÂ¥ 2+ nb of this age and direct their activities instead of allowing them to drift into casual occgpations as now. Mr. Mcâ€" Lauchlan pointed out that the problem of the boys passing sixteen applied te Canadian lads as well as those of imâ€" migrant families. He thought it was a question well worthy of special thought and in this he appeared to have the heartiest endorsement by the Kiwanis. Mr. Arch. Gillies referred to the proâ€" blem of placing Canadian boys ovetr 16 where they would be of the greatest value to themselves and to the counâ€" try One of the visitors for the day was Mr. W. F. B. Cadman, now of New Liskeard, but formerly of Timmins. "Fergy"was given rousing welcome and reception by the members of the club here, of which he was vEery valued and popular member until he left Timmins to go to the head office staff of the Canada Northern Power Co. at New Liskeard. Nee mt ce The new president of the club, Mr. W. Rinn, presided at the luncheon in very able and effective way, the meetâ€" ing generally being a pleasant and ausâ€" picious‘ commencement for the neÂ¥w year for the new officers. ie on i UE N Reference was made at the meeting to the coming here, under Kiwanis auSsâ€" pices, of the famous Westminister Glee Singers.
