LEADER OF ONTARIO LIBERALS AT KIWANIS DINNER HERE (Continued from Page One) Nelson Parliament, former Speaker of the Ontario Legislature, and now Liberâ€" al organizer for the province. In a brief address Mr. Parliament emphasized the necessity for brotherâ€" hood, unity and coâ€"operation in the building up of Canada. He touched on the wonderful resources of Northern Ontario, noting, however, that the greatest resource of all was good citiâ€" zenship. Clubs such as the Kiwanis, he thought, developed a spirit of service and comradeship that helped the counâ€" try. With the wealth of this country also went a great responsibility, he pointed out. In his brief address Dr. McCribbon, member of Wellington County, said that the one thing that had specially impressed him on his visit to the North was the fine spirit of friendliness shown by the men of the North,. He spoke also in complimentary terms of Dr. J. A. McInnis, who was an old college friend, and of Mr. A. F. Kenning, M.P.â€" P., who was his personal friend, though politically opposed. Reeve C. V. Gallagher, of South Porâ€" cupine, made one of the best afterâ€" dinner speeches of the evening, his witâ€" ty allusions being much enjoyed.

A. Mclunis was called upon for a few words and spoke briefly but effectively in reply. Mr. Wm. Newman, member of North Victoria in the legislature, made one of the helpful speeches of the evening. Speaking as a farmer of long experiâ€" ence, he had nothing but words of praise for the great Clay Belt of the North. The North he believed could not be excelled anywhere for the growâ€" ing of clover. One of the great needs of the North was drainage for lowâ€" lying lands and he advocated a comâ€" prehensive plan that would assure the proper drainage for all settlers‘ lands. He reminded the gathering that after the mines were worked out and the timber cut off, the land would remain to enrich the country and make the people prosperous. Mr. Miller, another member of the party, spoke briefly, expressing his good wishes to the North. He urged all to play fair by the coming generations by building up the country with some thought of the days to come and makâ€" ing the most of the wonderful resources and opportunities. In bringing the meeting to a close President Rinn expressed the pleasure of the Kiwanis Club in having the guests of the evening present and hearâ€" ing their interesting addresses. _ The COURT DISMISSES APPEAL NEW TRIAL FOR IVANGHUK (Continued from Page One) Justice Masten asked who was reâ€" sponsible for the notice of motion which was so broad and general in character, and added that he was shocked at the form of the notice of motion and he proposed to be very drastic in regard to this growing habit of stating general grounds. At the high court sittings which openâ€" ed at Cochrane on April 9th of this year, with Mr. Justice Wright presidâ€" ing, John Ivanchuk, known to many in the North Land as "Cobalt," was conâ€" victed of the murder of Inspector Harâ€" ry Constable at Cochrane on the evenâ€" ing of Oct. 15th, 1926. Witnesses told of Ivanchuk confessing the murder to them when he was under the influence of liquor. One of these witnesses was a man who had lived at Taschereau and another was a Kapuskasing man. The most important witness, perhaps, was Sophie Dincorn, who said that Ivanchuk had told her that he intendâ€" ed to kill Constable, and that on the night of the murder he had given her a gun to keep for him for a time, later meeting closed with the singing of Canada." THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Another Band Concert Sunday Evening, June 16 The second of the open air band conâ€" certs for the season by the Timmins Citizens‘ Band will be given on Sunâ€" day evening, June 16th, at the band stand in the park near the station after the church services. This, of course, will be contingent upon the weather being favourable. It is expectâ€" ed, however, that by Sunday the weaâ€" ther will be ideal, and that all will be able to enjoy the good programme of music provided by the band. The opening outdoor band concert on June 2nd, met with very general favour and Sunday‘s event will be even more apâ€" preciated if the weather is favourable. Bandmaster A. Wilford has prepared a specially attractive programme for Sunday‘s concert, including hymns, marches and general selections that are sure to please the popular fancy. having it returned to him. Ivanchuk‘s defence was a flat denial, the accused swearing he had not known the girl and some others of the witnesses until after his arrest. Invanchuk was very ably defended at the trial at Cochrane by Mr. Harry Fine, of Ansonville. The police had a strong case against him, with practically no weak links. Ivanchuk is at present at Haileybury and unless the Crown extends a reâ€" prieve or other clemency, he will be hanged on June 21st. FIRST BIRTHDAY DINNER OF TIMMINS LODGE Very Pleasant Event Held on Satyrda Evening at Kingston Ho Supreme Secretary Presen for Occasion The first birthday dinner of Lodge Goldfields, Sons of England Benefit Society, Timmins, was held at the Kingston hotel on Saturday evening, June 8th, and proved a very delightful event. The Supreme Secretary Bro. D. J. Proctor, of Toronto, District Deputy Bro. Cadman, of Iroquois Falls, and President Jacobs of Willingdon Lodge, Iroquois Falls, were among the speâ€" cially honoured guests present for the occasion. Between 65 and 70 of the members of local S.0.E. lodge with their ladies and friends sat down to an unusually pleasing dinner, the Kingston hotel doing itself very deâ€" cided credit with the elequent menu provided for the occasion. The banâ€" quet ~tables looked especially attracâ€" tive, and printed menus detailed the menu and the toast list. The president of the local lodge, Bro. | sydney Wheeler presided for the ocâ€" casion and carried through the pleasâ€" ing programme with efficiency and depatch. Community singing featured the opening of the event, and while the time for the addresses had to be restricted on account of the dance to| be held in the Hollinger hall afterwards, . the addresses were specially interesting and appropriate. The King was proâ€" posed by Chaplain Bro. A. Bough and was responded to with earnest enthusiâ€" asm. "Our Society and the Supreme Lodge" was proposed by Past President Bro. Goode in a brief but pointed adâ€" dress. In replying, Supreme Secretary Bro. D. J. Proctor, of Toronto, said that he would not deal at any length with the serious side of the society at such a time when enjoyment seemed to be the motto of the occasion. He compliâ€" mented the lodge on its success and efficiency and on the pleasure of the first annual dinner. The Supreme :Secretary then added very materially to the enjoyment of the evening by a ; number of new and very pleasing humâ€" iorous stories, well told. In a brief but very appropriate address, in which he thanked the lodge for the pleasant %banquet and complimented the memâ€" ‘bers on the progress made, District Deputy Bro. Cadman, of Iroquois Falls, proposed the toast to Lodge Goldfields, \to which President Wheeler made brief | but effective reply. The toast to "The | Visitors" was very effective given by Bro. Greaves, and President Jacobs of Lodge Willingdon, Iroquois Falls, replied in pleasing way, with approâ€" priate flavouring of wit and story. Mr. Jacobs, who used a horse and buggy to reach Timmins from the Falls, urged the members to keep up attendance at their lodge. "If you find that gasoâ€" line and lodge wont‘ mix," he said, in reference to the idea of motoring takâ€" ing people away from town, "then get a horse and buggy like I have." In proposing the toast to "The Flag and Empire," Viceâ€"President Bro. Reese touched on the true meaning of the flag and the Empire. Freedom, peace and prosperity were ours, he pointed out, because of the Empire and the flag, and he urged all to uphold to the limit at all times the great Empire and its halâ€" lowed emblem. In the response to this toast Bro. Arthur White spoke of the sacrifices that loyal men in the past had made to help build the Empire and to keep its flag fiying,. The reâ€" sponsibility rested upon the men and women of toâ€"day to see that the sacriâ€" fices were not in vain and that the Emâ€" pire went on to greater usefulness and strength. He made passing reference to the reports of indignity to the flag by foreigners in Timmins, and pointed out that while tolerance was a British virtue, there was a limit to forbearance, and none should be allowed to wantonâ€" ly attack the filag and the Empire that gave them all the liberty they knew. In a brief but kindly and complimenâ€" tary speech, Bro. Harrison proposed the toast to the Press, which was reâ€" sponded to by G. A. Macdonald, editor of The Advance, who told the odd story or two, also pointing out that the press depended for its success upon the same foundation stone on which the Empire was basedâ€"freedom. The Scotsmen‘s regard for England was pictured both humourously afd seriously. "The Ladâ€" ies" was the concluding toast, proposed by Secretary Bro. Jennings, and reâ€" sponded to in brief but effective way by Mrs. Goode, Viceâ€"President of the Daughters of England, who made the response in the inavoidable absence of ughters of England, who made the | $ ponse in the inavoidable absence of - Set C0O0000080000000046¢6 p e o va $ 448400608 446460866 w n s ~* un esP en >A tC : e w Tcb ue t n ind > dnc io t‘ P P P Sss h s c 4 4o T4 P# do 8 UA ie O‘Keere‘s Dry footed waiters into tall glasses W ile society That 18 why this delicious gir bottle, adds a toUC of disti formal peccasion« O’KEEFE’S BEV} To Local Distributorsâ€"National Grocers Co., Ltd., Timmins KCC{ e‘s Dry susBs to tall glass©s * x1 l TIMMINS BAND PROPOSES BAND CONTEST FOR NORTH Letters Sent to Other Bands in the North Land to See if They are Favourable to Such a Plan At the regular meeting of the Timâ€" mins Citizens‘ Band on Monday evenâ€" ing the question of having a contest for bands in the North Land was again discussed. The question has been takâ€" en up at the Timmins band meetings on several occasions, but Monday night it was decided to take some action. For the present the action will be conâ€" fined to finding out the opinions of the other bands in the North. There are bands at Iroquois Falls, Cochrane, South Porcupine, Haileybury, Kirkland Lake, North Bay and Sudbury, and these are to be communicated with to learn their opinions and to secure any suggestions they may make. The idea of the Timmins band is to increase the interest generally in this North Land in band music and to inspire bandsâ€" men to greater effort through competiâ€" tions between the various bands of the different towns and cities. With the spirit of friendly competition lhat would be inspired by the proposed conâ€" tests, it is believed that bandsmen and public alike would be more keenly inâ€" terested in band music and there would be noteworthy advancement in the various bands to the advantage of the people in general. No one quesâ€" tions the benefit and desirability of good music and in community life: band music has a very special place. To encourage better band music and to secure greater interest among bandsâ€" men throughout the North the idea of a contest for North Land bands is advanced. There are such contests in the Old Country, where the plan has been very sucessful. In Old Ontario and in other of the older sections of Canada and the United States, band contests are featured. On account oI the distances to be travelled from the North to the Old Ontario centres, it is difficult for the bands of the North to take part in the contests now carried on, both the time taken and the cost involved being factors to be considered. In making the proposal to the neighâ€" bouring bands, Timmins band makes it plain that while ready to be the cenâ€" tre for holding the proposed band conâ€" tests, this band is equally ready to coâ€" operate and assist the plan if the bands concerned desire to use some other town as a centre for the competitions. At the present time the big desire is to have the views of the other towns of the North on the proposal, and also to receive any suggestions that may be made on the proposition. Seventeen motorists paid $1.00 and costs each at police court this week for not stopping at the intersection of the through street as required by law. It is understood that still others are being charged for the same offence last night. The police evidently are out to see that the law in this regard is observed. The fine of $1.00 and costs totals $12.00 in each case which seems high in proporâ€" tion to the fine. Part of this excessive costs is due to the fact that whether a plea of guilty is entered or not there is a $5.00 fee charged in each case for the crown attorney. This does not seem right, and it would seem that this new regulation should be changed. It may be noted that the crown attorney does not receive all the fees that may be collected in this way. His fees are set at a maximum of $25.00 for each court. There was $85.00 collected for Seventeen Motorists Fined at Police Court During the evening complimentary references were made by many of the speakers to the Daughters of Maids of England, and also to the recentlyâ€"orâ€" ganized Junior S.0.E. the President, mrs Creary Commencing at 9 a.m. on Saturday EVERYBODY COMF in the basement of the United Church there $5.00 fees for speeders alone at the court this week. Two drunks were taxed the usual ten and costs. Drunkenness is an expenâ€" sive business. Three for speeding were assessed $10.00 and costs. A charge preferred against a woman boarding house keeper of permitting drunkenness in her house was disâ€" missed. The woman explained that one of her boarders had brought the drunken man in and she was not to blame. Two liquor cases, one of having liâ€" quor not on permit, and the other of having liquor other than in private dwelling, were remanded to next week. A charge of speeding was remanded A charge of speeding was remanded for a week. A dog at large resulted in one man being fined $1.00 and costs. For pumping cesspool out on the street S. T. O‘Leary was fined $10.00 and costs. A charge of arson against the former tenant of house where a fire occturred was dismissed. The charge was laid by the owner of the house. A boy who had ridden a bicycle on the sidewalk was given advice and warning py the magistrate. Smelter Likely to be Built at Boston Creek Mr. Holiandâ€"Hurst, M.E., of Haileyâ€" bury, was in Timmins this week, and in reference to the Canadian Smelters Consolidated, said that the company would build the smelter somewhere Consolidated, said that the company would build the smelter somewhere along the line of the T. N. 0. The location has not yet been decided upon but the Boston Creek area seems to be the most likely on account of its straâ€" tegic position in regard to ore supplies. The new company will do a customs smeiter business, as well as having imâ€" portant contracts for the treatment of nre. The firm is fhanced by America« capital. June 12, July 10, Aug. 7.............
