Accordingly, the plan is now to start the proposal early next year and have the North Land band tourmament next summer. At the regular monthly meeting of the Timmins Citizens‘ Band on Monâ€" day evening a letter was read from the Cochrane Band commending the idea proposed by the band here of !having a band contest for North Land bands. The Cochrane band, however, felt that it would not be able to enter such a contest this year but would otherwise give the heatriest support to the proposal. The Timmins band, in view of the fact that practically all of the bands in the North Land were in simiâ€" lar position to Cochrane, decided not to proceed with plans for the proposed contest this year, but to take it up early next year. Band contests of this kind are very frequent and popular in some parts of Canada and in the Old Country. They increase the inâ€" terest of bandsmen and a@\so draw considerable attention to band music on the part of the public in general and so are of special value. The plan in view here is to form some sort of a North Land bands association and then stage a band contest at some central point, in which the bands of the North will take part. The matter was taken. up this year with all the bands of the North, but while all were favourable to the idea, all but the North Bay bands. felt that circumstances and conditions Mr. Oscar Henderson is on a holiâ€" day trip to Southern Ontario.

On Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Barry entertained at the tea hour at her home on Bruce avenue in honour of her friend, Miss Sinclair, of New York, who is visiting her. There was a somewhat lengthy police court on Thursday last, the case arising out of the collision of a motor car and the truck of the Schuâ€" macher Woodyard took up considerâ€" able time. The driver of the motor car, an Italian, received a fine of fifty dollars and costs for reckless driving. There were two cases of horses runâ€" ning at large each getting a fine of $5 and costs. Four speeders were relievâ€" ed of $10 and costs each. There were also the usual array of drunks, two paying the customary fine. Timmins Band Planning Band Contest Next Year Mrs. J.

Several radio aerials were unshipped and the poles blown down. In one case the lightnâ€" ing entered a small building via the aerial and destroyed three batteries. Later in the evening the owner of the building, having repaired the damage done, was surprised at the poor recepâ€" tion which he got on his radio.

Provincial Constables Durnford and Stringer went to Boston Creek on Tuesday morning of last week, and accompanied by Prov. Constable Tom Holcroft went out to the locality from which the complaint was received. They tound Mloski barricaded in °A log shack and threatening anybody that approached the shack with a broad axe, which had recently been sharpenâ€" ed. Friendly overtures of the police were refused by Mloski, it is stated, who every time one of the officers apâ€" proached the door warned them away with the axe. Efforts to get through the roof or some other way were all met by the man with threats of the axe. Eventually an attempt to attract Mloski‘s attention to the rear of the shack was successful and the door was forced and thrown down. But, for a short time, it looked as if the arrest of the man would only be accomplished after a serious fight and injuries were likely to be incurred by both parties. An attempt at parley proved successful, however, and finally the man was persuaded to put down his weapons, which included a large knife.
