Melita Montrose Montcalm Montcalm Montrose TéacherS’ Convention at _ Kapuskasing Big Success The twelfthâ€"annual convention of the Teachers‘ Institute of Cochrane Disâ€" trict was held at Kapuskasing, October tenth and eleventh. By a special train leaving Timmins Thursday morning at five o‘clock, the teachers south and east of Kapuskasing were able to arrive for the opening session without interferâ€" ing with their teaching duties. The convention was held in the Kaâ€" puskasing public school, one of the most modern and most finely built schools in Ontario, and a building of which the town . may ‘be justly proud. The high cellings, the bright, airy halls, In response to this address Mr. P. A. Boyce, Schumacher, voiced the opinion of.the convention salyin‘s; that the North holds wonders of which many people are ignorant and that teachers, comâ€" ing from so. many different, parts of the country, should laud these facts wherever they go. . Mr. Richardson, president of the Board of Trade, in his address of welâ€" come, extended the hospitality of the town to the teachers, reminding them that they, as builders of future citizens, are very closely to the buildâ€" ers of the North. Another accomplishment of this town was exhibited by the Kapuskasing Pubâ€" lic School Orchestra, who, under: the direction of Mr. R. R. Reynolds, enterâ€" tained the convention by three pleasing orchestral numbers. Teachers of District Delighted with Hospitality Extended by Kapuskasing People. Attractive Programme at Convention Last Week. Teachers Vigit Point; Inâ€" terest at Kapuskasing. Addresses b Laâ€" moureaux of Special Inspiration. Officers Elected for Teachers‘ Institute. _ . rooms and basements proclaim that here, in the North, benefits from the experiences of others have not gone to waste. The first session opened at ten o‘clock with Mr. N. R. Wightman as president, and Miss Nina MacLeod, secretary. The opening devotional exercises were conâ€" ducted by Rev. Fr. Davidge, of Kapus- kasing. The convention was extremely faâ€" voured in having Rev. Fr. Lamoureaux, from the Normal School, University of Ottawa, who used as subject for his: first address, "Education for Citizenâ€". ship.‘"‘ This . very earnest address deâ€" manded the attention and admiration, of the whole assembly. It is most difficult to make a worthy synopsis of this lecture; nothing should be discardâ€" ed. (A synopsis of this address will be found elsewhere in this issue.) Following the address of Rev. Fr. Lamoureaux, Miss Betty Beele, our deâ€" Hightful little entertainer from Kapusâ€" kasing, favoured the convention with her musical recitation entitled, "How the Elephant Got His Tail." During the business of the meeting a discussion arose in regard to the advisabmty of pooling expenses of fuâ€" ture conventions. and a: motion was passed to the effect that: hereafter all railway fares of teachers coming to the convention would be shared evenly by all members. At the adjournment of the morning session, registration was carried . on and one hundred and seventy three teachers registered. Through â€"the generous hospitality of the KapuskaAsâ€" ing people, these were billettad at priâ€" vate homes and at the hotels many being accommodated at the Inn. _â€" Kapuskasing Inn is on one of the most beautifu} sites in Ontario. Where a few short years ago the timber held sway, now you may see the Inn, an imposing ‘building, situated‘ at the top of the gently sloping shore ofâ€" the Kapuskasing river, about forty feet above the water level. The interior of the Inn with its truly luxurious furnishings proclaims that here, in the North we need rank second to none, where comfort and beauty are concerned. In the afternoon the teachers were the guests of the Spruce Falls Pulp and Paper Company, and, in small parties were guided through the mill tracing the process from the first saws, in the mill to the train loaded with the finished product. The tour was truly educative and even in so short a time, a lasting‘ impression of the evidences of man‘s ingeniousness was formed as the parties passed from viewing the working of the saws, the narkers, the chippers, the steaming vats and finally the labyrinth of, revolving heated rolâ€" lers making a glazed sheet, the finished paper. During the tour, the teachers visited twoâ€"important rooms on the topâ€"storey â€"the First Aid Room and the Cafeâ€" teria. Although nothing was required in the line of bandages, refreshments were gladly received, appetites having been whetted by the climbing from one storey to another and by circumambuâ€" lating the long rooms of machinery. ‘Thursday evening the members of the convention were again the reciâ€" pients of Northland hospitality as the guests of the Kapuskasing Public School Board. In the Inn, the long rooms of banquet tables glistening with glass and ‘silver presented a brilliant spectacle and as the guests took their places they felt deeply indebted to their hosts. Mr. N. R. Wightman, as voastâ€"masâ€" ter, proposed the toasts to the King and to Canada. The toast proposed to the hosts of the evening by J. B. Roberts was responded to by the chairâ€" man of the board, Mr. Husband, who assured the guests that Kapuskasing regarded the meeting of the teachers as a favour and a great pleasure. Peele, secretary of the board expressed the hope that in the near future the Cochrane teaachers would again conâ€" vene at their town. Mr. Hanlin, a member of the board, and manager of the Experimental Farm, told of the changes which he had witnessed in Kapuskasing during the last fifteen years. Only that short time has elapsed since the site of the town was virgin forest, and now, town the pride of the North, is firmly established. The teachers are greatly indebted to Mr. Durgin, of the Spruce Falls Pulp. and Paper Company for the clear ilâ€" lustrated history of paperâ€"making from wood fibre, extendingâ€" from the Chinese methods in use of bamboo fibre to the present day‘s modern process. hMir. Cosens related the work necssary beâ€" fore the logs arrive at the mill. With the help of a film he directed the thought to the winter lumber camps and the exciting river drives. Immediately after the banquet the guests proceeded to the Club House and here, once more, found Kapuskaâ€" sing a leader. Although an infant, as town ages are calculated, this town has set an example well worthy of imiâ€" tation not only by towns of the North but by many towns of the South. This Club House, the hub of the town‘s social life, the congregating place for her citizens, offers recreat.ion (Continued Back Page This Section) Mining TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17th, 1929 â€" DFFIGERS â€"INSTALLED AT _ KNIGHTS OF GCOLUMBUS HERE District Deputy T.

Then folâ€" lowed a solo by Mr. Huntley. Miss Nelson‘s recitation, "Seeing Things at Night," delighted all. A violin solo by Guigi Rotondo was very good indeed. Mrs. Waite‘s reading held the interest of all.. After the toast to: the ladies, proposed by Mr. A. D# Pearce, Mr. Huntley favoured the audience. with another of his Scotch songs and Mrs. Waite gave another reading. Then a happy time of community singing. closâ€" ed a pleasant social evening. Dancing was also enjoyed. was excellent and the ‘arrangements carried out perfectly.. The men folks claimed that special mention should be made of the quality of the lunch servâ€" ed. One party, who we ourselves saw eating sandwiches in Porcupine : at dances as far back as 1911, declared he had never eaten a better sandwich at a dance than those prepared for Tuesday i night.: The prizes were distributed afâ€". ter the lunch.. The winner. of the very fine radio given as a prize to a member of Porcupine Hockey Club was Mr. Mac McCaw, this being a very popular win with the audience. Miss Nelson, Porcupine, and Mr. Vic Evans, of South Porcupine, Miss Pearl Miller of town and Mr. Hardy, of Timmins, were the, ‘winners of the prizes given in the Bpot Dance. On behalf of the Hockey Club h;[r. H. M. Wilson, who was acting as master of ceremonies thanked all who so willingly helped with the dance, by selling tickets, and in various ways. ‘The Porcupine Hardware gave the radio to the Club at a greatly reduced price, Farrant‘s Pharmacy, South End Pharâ€" macy and Pearce and Sons, donated the other prizes. The radio was set up on the piatform and with a temporary connection gave some very satisfactory entertainment. Mr. H., M. Wilson saw to it that the a/rrangemént for special electrical effects in lighting the hall were carried out perfectly. Altogether it was a very satisfactory dance and those responsible for its succes are to be congratulated. On Tuesday evening there was splendid attendance at the hockey dance. Judging from the enthusiasm shown the Porcupine Hockey Club is away with a good start. The music The Porcupine Chaper. Order of the Eatern Star are holding their annual Armistice dancée in the High School hall on Monday, November 1l1ith. Speâ€" clal arrangements are being made to have this evening a real delight. Tomâ€" my Stephens‘ orchestra is to be presâ€" ent. Tisdale township council met on Monday evening, Oct. l4th, with the reeve and all the councillors present. The minutes of the last meeting (Sepâ€" tember 23rd) were read and adopted. In the correspondence was an offer for the wood on the lots owned‘ by the township and used as a dumping i were for it but there was to be further | discussion on it. A farmer living on | the north half of lot 11 in concession 6 of Tisdale asked that the township spend approximately $400.00 on giving i‘him and two of his neighbours a road. The Northern Development Departâ€" ment would bear half of this expense but the four councillors turned it down, ‘ only the reeve being in favour of going ‘ ahead with it this year. No allowance had ‘been made for it in the estimates. |A letter was read from the Poppy Day‘ ! department of the Timmins Post of the Canadian Legion asking the permisâ€" sion. to hold their Poppy Day and inâ€" | viting the council to take part in their "Armistice service on November 1l1th. A grant was imade to cover the exâ€" ; penses of Fire Chief .Jucksch to the convention at Cobourg last summer. There was a furthsr discussion re the snow fence built by the McIntyre for use at Pearl Lake. It was decided byi ‘ the council to buy this fence, then they could use it when and where they wished. The shrinkage in the gas tank at Schumacher was to be solved by having a meter put on it. The transfer has been completed of some of/the land on Powell Avenue that was required by ! the Continuation School property and the transfer was authorized by the counzil. A delegation was again presâ€". ent re getting water on Toke Street by an extension from the Timmins main. This was granted, as several familie} there are in a bad way for their water supply Work was to be started on this as soon as possible, ‘Oharity was. granted to a woman in Schumacher who has five children depending on her for support. A man of South Porcuâ€" pine who is unable to work had his taxes for the present year cancelled. There was a complaint from merâ€" chant in Schumacher asking that the { police keep the boys from being a nuisance on Hallowe‘en night. The council are just boys with a little more years added up in their total and so are the majority of men who have not become fossilized. Sympathy was strong with the boy who has his sport on this for him the one froli¢ night of the year, in a clean sporting fashion, not destroying any person‘s property or doing any real harm, A certain RAâ€" mount of "shelling out‘" has seemed to be the boys‘ privilege for generations . grcund. As the offer was only a small amount and a certain amount of wood will be necessary in the future to have for use in Pm'ning the refuse it was decided to ‘keep it. There was conâ€" siderable discussion as to whether the council should allow the MciIntyre Mine to connect their sewerage equipâ€" ment for their Mercantile Department with that of the township. Owing to a difference in levels, etc., some did not think this advisable. The majority past. Chief McInnis said that he and his men were always around in the offâ€" ing somewhere to see that boys do not overstep their freedom: this night and becoame needlessly offensive. The rouâ€" tine wages and accounts were passed for payment.~> The Cochrane Northland Post last week says:â€"*‘There is nothing wrong with our climate as evidenced by some delicious raspbérries brought to the ofâ€" fice by Mr. John David, who picked them in his father‘s garden on 5th avenue on Tuesday afternoon.
