C. O. Baker President by Acclamation. Other Business Dealt With by Delegates. The eleventh annual meeting of the Northern Ontario Hockey Association was held in the Empire hotel at North Bay on Saturday of last week. There were delegates present from most of the clubs in the association. Those in atâ€" tendance were: J. H. McDonald, Fred Morgan, Soo; A. R. Mobbs, Iroquois Falls, also representing Monteith junior club; T. J. Faught, Chap‘eau; Dr. J. D. Kinsman, Seuth Porcupine;‘Len Flemâ€" ing, Haileybury; H. J. Millichamp, V. Choss, Cobalt; C. E. Roach, Timmins W. E. Buchan, W. N. Duff, North Bay; E. M. Little, of Iroquois Falls, repreâ€" senting Kirkland Lake. There was general optimism expreSssâ€" ed at the meeting in regard to the sucâ€" cess of the coming season. In addition to the regular groups, Local Transfer of Baggage to Station Arranged Next to Taylor Hardware Song Record, No. 41032 Song Record, No. 8990 Song Record, No. 8989 Dealers Everywhere strong effort will be made to have every centre operate commercial or industrial leagues, the winners of which will be eligible to compete in the intermediate championship of the association. Acclamations were accorded Presiâ€" dent C. O. Baker, North Bay; Viceâ€" president D. E. Sutherland, Haileybury, and W. A. Thompson, secretaryâ€"treaâ€" surer. Percy Richards, who was noâ€" minated for one of the two seats on the executive withdrew, which left three nomineesâ€"J. E. Patterson, of Iroquois Falls; C. E. Roach, Timmins and J. H. McDonald, of Sault Ste. Marie, the last two of whom were elected. In order to increase revenue of the association and allow sufficient capital with which to carry on its business, the fees for entry into the association were raised from $5 to $10 in the junior group, and from $10. to $20 in the senior and intermediate sections. An entry fee of $1 will be charged to each group. The financial statement showed a balance on hand of $894.45, which was a decrease from the previous year of $2,000. As it costs from $1,500 to $2,000 to operate the association, the increasâ€" ed fees were found necessary. If there is a tie game which will affect the group standing the game will be replayed on the ice where the tie game took place and the net reâ€" ceipts will be divided between the two clubs. The game may be replayed on neutral ice if both clubs agree. H. P. Chariton, of Sudbury,* life member of the association, proposet that a resolution be submitted to the OH.A., that a past president of the N.O.H.A. be included on the O.H.A. Advisory Bcard. Mr. Charlton intiâ€" mated that he had received an expresâ€" sicn from W. A. Hewitt, secretary of the O.H.A., that he thought this would be satisfactory to the O.H.A. C. O. Baker and W. A. Thompson were apâ€" pointed representatives to the O.H.A. annual meeting on Nov. 16. A copy of the financial statement will be sent to each of the clubs at the close of season. The Advisory Board will be enlarged to include all the past presidents cof the association residing in Ontario, inâ€" stead of residents of the district only as heretofore. An executive meeting will be held early in December to conâ€" sider certificates, schedules and other natters. The North Bay Trappers, forced for ancther season to play on outdoor rinks were granted a bye into the Southern zroup of the junior series The North Bay club was a@aiso given the assurance that should it operate an intermediate team that a like privilegs will be grantâ€" Ths meeting concluded with a banâ€" juet Saturday evening with C. O. Bakâ€" ar president of the association in the shair. Addresses were made by Mayor E. L. Banner, of North Bay; W. N. Duff, P. McCorl, W. A. Thompson, Charles Rcocach and others. Reference was madse in the speeches to the lack of competition for graduâ€" ates from the junior series. The clubs were urged to organize town league zroups for these players. Patrick McCool, grand old hockey expressed the opinion that when the 1930â€"31 season comes North Bay will have a modern covered rink. Despatches from North Bay after the annual meeting of the N.O.H.A. suggested that the indications are that the senior group of the N.O.H.A. will be confined to two teams. Iroquois Ralls, last year‘s champions are certain Starters and South Porcupine area will probably be the other. Haileybury is definitely out while Kirkland Lake the ciher mmeber of last year‘s group may cperate a local mines league. According to northern delegates at ‘he NO.H.A. meeting, there are plenty of capable senior players in the Porcuâ€" pine area, some of them former stars in different Ontario towns. The opinâ€" ion was also expressed that one of the towns in the northern gold area would entar a team and give the Eskimos competition. Although the Eskiecs have lost three of their big guns, Kerr, goalie, and Huggins, defence, to the M.A.A.A. team and Evans to the Detroit Olympics, they will be strong again this year. Some of the stars of the Ottawa City League will wear the colours of the northern champions. The strong teams in the junior series look to be the Sso Greyhounds and the Chapleau Huskies. The Soo have sevâ€" eral of last year‘s team available. The Soo City League will provide the newâ€" comers. Al Taylor, husky player, who was a sensation two years ago, is now in Montreal. Tom Faught energetic Chapleau representative, was not. making any predictions Saturday but it is understood that the Railway Town will put its strongest team to date on the ice this season with the northern championship as the objecâ€" tive. ANOTHER DANCE BY LADIES SECTION OF THE GOLF CLUB All who enjoyed so delightful an avening at the Hallowe‘en dance given by the ladies‘ section of the Timmins Golf Club will be pleased to know that another dance is to be given under the same auspices this month. Invitations were issued this week by the ladies section of the Golf Club for a dance to be held in the McIntyre hall on Friday evening, November 29th, at nine o‘clock. All attending are assured of a very pleasant evening. Barrie Examiner:â€"With all our laws for making people good, many modern parents seem to feel that homeâ€"trainâ€" ing is unnecessary. Ottawa Journal:â€"A correspondent wants to know whether bears are really dangerous. It all depends where you meet them. Those New York ones seem rather vicious. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO THINKS PEOPLE HAVE PAID FOR ALL P.0. BOXES NOW Writing under the nom de plume of "Poro Bono Publico," but at the same time duly submitting his name and adâ€"| dress as an evidence of good faith, an oldâ€"time resident and good citizen of the town submits the following letter in regard to the post office as it has been and as it is hoped to be when the new building is completed. In this letter there are two points that are specially worth attention and â€" consideration. Who really pays for the boxes in the‘ post office? is one question the letter answers. The other question: â€"Who really is advantaged by the boxes? is also ably dealt with. There is much rcom for thought in this letter. It exâ€" presses in effective way the very genâ€" eral desire that conditions in the new post office building may be much better for the public than in the present building. Unless the service and conâ€" ditions are much bettter than they have been, the public will not be very ‘iwell. pleased with the new building. ‘There is a general feeling that with the new building there is to be a new and better service, and that the Governâ€" ment does not intend to tolerate in the new building anything but the best of service for the public. There has been ipparently some sort of idea in the past that the people somehow or another were supposed to look after the conâ€" venience of the post office; in the new building the idea will be that the post office is supposed to look after the conâ€" venience of the public. The letter geferred to is given below exactly as written:â€"â€" Post Office in Timmins â€" _ â€" Dear Mister Editor:â€"The other week I read in your splendid paper which I a‘ways long to get every week, for it is ian education in itself, your little joke about the new post office not being the shed which is there now on the road for the builders building the new building. Also Considers Boxes More Convenience To Post Office Than to Customers. Looks for Better Methods in the New Post Office. But. Mister Editor, as I know you to take such an interest in all that is for the good of the town I take up my pen to write you, begging your pardon for taking up your valuable space, to see if you could tell me any news about the new post office, and if it will be much better than now. I have been regular customer of the post office for many years now, and have been paying 4 dollars each year for my P. O. box. Now, I think that I have payed enough for my box. I must have payed over 40 dollars and if all the box holders in my section have payed like as I have payed, we must have bought our boxes many times over. I would not like you to think that I am like one of those Scotchmen in Aberdeen that you have printed so many funny stories about, for I like the convenience of having a box. But it has occurred to me that the post masâ€" ter has as much convenience as I have. for if he did not have the boxes he would need to have a lot of windows for giving out mail and he would need to have a lot more girls at the same time and he would need to pay them more than 45 dollars each month. So you can see, instead of renting 2,000 boxes at 4 dollars every year He would have to pay out more money: and not get in so much and he would be inâ€" convenienced more than now. I have been told that under the Govâ€" ernment post office, like the post office will be under the new building way, the charge for boxes is 2 dollars. Please see if you can do something in the matter. Thanking you in advance, yours truly, In answer to this letter, The Advance understands that the charges for the boxes in the new post office, after it becomes what is commonly referred to as a "Government post office," will be just half what is charged now for the differentâ€"sized boxes. This is the way it workel out in Cobalt and other places, while the service improved. Our friend, "Pro Bono Publico," can be asâ€" sured that The Advance will continue to urge the best of public service in the post office here, with the fine new building, no dess than with the former smelly quarters. The real idea for urgâ€" ing that a new building be erected was to give the public the service that a town as large and important as Timâ€" mins is entitled to. To give this serâ€" vice The Advance believes that nothâ€" ing should be left undone, either in the way of new building or new staff. The public should have the service to which they are entitled. People are not made for the convenience of post offices, but post offices are made for the convenâ€" ience of the public. Recently, The Adâ€" vance has been giving the post office more orless of a rest. _ But that is only temporary unless conditions improve. It is true there are worse services than the post office, believe it or not! There is the telephone service, for instance, but as many people are not affected as in the case of defective post office service. The excellent long distance telephone service given is proof that good serâ€" vice is practical and possible. Good post office service is also possible and practical, as proven by that in other towns. Nothing less than good service and consideration for the public will please. And that‘s that! Drumheller Mail:â€"*"Jane," said her mistress just a triflie impatiently, "you were a long time coming up here. Didn‘t you hear me calling?" "No, ma‘am," replied Jane, "not till you callâ€" ed the third time, ma‘am." â€"Pro bonn publico WATERS LEADING IN NORTH COCHRANE BY OVER According to semiâ€"official figures now available A. V. Waters apparently has a majority of over 550. The Cochrane Northland Post published last week a list of the polling places with the votes given for each of the four candidates in the field. The result of the polls, acâ€" cording to these figures when totalled gives the following votes:â€"for Foster, the Liberal candidate,, 1282; for Stephenson, the independent candidate 204; for Tremblay, independent Conâ€" servative candidate, 2544; for Waters, the Conservative candidate, 3131. These figures would give Waters 587 majorky. Apparently only the one poll, Savoff, was to be heard from when these figures were totalled although in the heading in The Post mentions 550 as Waters‘ majority. The heading in The Northland Post also says, "Rival will probably concede the seat," £0 there is not likely to be protest or reâ€" count proceedings after all.
