Five of these numbers will be drawn on December Sist, 1930, and when the owners of programmes ‘bearâ€" ing these lucky mumbers present the same at the eighth annmnual Charity Turkey Stag next year they will each receive a turkey. In view of the fine prize turkeys that are given at the Charity Turkey Stag it is well worth while for all to keep their programmes umtil next year. This year as in past years the Corâ€" nish Social Club are inviting all the children at the CA.S. Shelter to be present at the Christmas tree as the guests of the members of the club. The past two years the Shelter children had a simply wonderful time at the Corâ€" nish Christmas tree and they will cerâ€" tainly be delighted to be again the happy guests of this generous club. The Shelter youngsters will be only too delighted to accept the thoughtful invitation. It may be noted that some grounds for the reports in Toronto may be found in the fact that T. N. O. enâ€" gineers have recently reâ€"located the exâ€" tension line so as to take in Blackâ€" smith Rapids. the Cornish ladies are specially asked to all bring refreshments for the occaâ€" sion. The speed with which the governâ€" ment will tackle the first extension next spring will depend, it is underâ€" stood, on results obtained from extenâ€" sive development of its new coal field. At present between 30,000,000 and 50,â€" 000,000 tons of good grade lignite are said to have been assured. Within the next six weeks, the Government will begin a thorough diamond drill test of the 504 square miles of "closed" terriâ€" tory lying west of the Abhitibi and Akaâ€" wana rivers for the p of deterâ€" mining whethor the Blacksmith Rapids coal beds extend for any distance in that direction, and if so, whether they can boost the amount of lignite now mincable to the 100,000,000â€"ton mark. As far as the line to Blacksmith Rapids is concerned that is also being taken as a matter of course. It has been understood that the railway would almost automatically be extended to tap the coal fields around Blacksmith Rapids. The reports from Toronto make quite definite announcement to the effect that the line will surely be started this spring and rushed to comâ€" pletion. It is said that announcement to this effect will be made in detail at tne next session of the Ontario legislature. Laying steel from the preâ€" sent terminus of the railway at Coral Rapids to Blacksmith Rapids the heart of the recently proved lignite coal field, will be a 30â€"mile job. From this point to Moose Factory is an additional 65 "The ‘latest ‘in reports, according to despatches in some of the daily papers is to the effect that extension of the T. N. O. is to be made to Blacksmith Rarpids next spring, and a link put through to Moose Factory nct so long afterwards, the summer of 1931 being mentioned for the completion of the extension to Moose: Factory. The ‘Toronto report does not suggest anyâ€" thing new except in reference to dates. It has been expected for some time that the railway would be extended through to Moose Factory at a date more or less early. When the extenâ€" sion of the T. N. O. railway was adâ€" veoecated ten years ago the slogan used by some was "from bay to bay," the idea being that the T. N. O. should cover the full territory from North Bay to James Bay. It was generally felt that Moose Factory would be touched by the extension to complete the line from "bay to bay." It is claimed that the fish industry that might be deâ€" veloped from James Bay and Hudson‘s Bay, with Moose Factory as a sort of collecting point, would be a notable matter in several ways.

A stretch of road, approximately 150 feet in length, and located between seven and eight miles south of here, has fallen into the swamp over which it was conâ€" structed, and the probability is that piles will have to be driven before the highway can be put on a safe basis, as it is practically inpossible in that secâ€" tion to relocate the route, due to the nature of the country there. Soundâ€" ings taken have shown ehfhat bottom cannot. be reached in less than 45 feet at this particular part of the Ferguson highway. Work had been done on that section during the past year, the road having been widened and other operâ€" tions carried out, but the swampy naâ€" ture of the country nullified the efforts when the stretch dropped out of sight.

Pleasing Programme â€" Arranged Band Concert Event After the Church Services on Sunday Evening, Dec. 15th. LEGION ARTISTS T0 BE ON BAND GONCERT PROGRAMME Mrs, Sharp, 108 Birch street south, met with a serious accident on Sunday and as a consequence is now in the hospital though her wide circle of friends will be pleased to know that she is making excellent progress to complete recovery and is not likely now to suffer any permanent illâ€"effects from the unfortunate accident. Mrs. Sharp, who though seventyâ€"four years of age is as active and alert as many people twenty years younger, was preparing the evening meal on Sunday about five o‘clock. She had been down the cellar to get some fruit and on returning upâ€" stairs carried the fruit to the table without dropping the door of the cellar into place. Crossing over to the pantry a minuute afterwards she overlooked the fact that the cellar door was open and as a result she pitched headâ€"first down the cellar stairs. In the fa!) she broke some bones in the right foot, suffered a badly bruised back and shoulders, and was badly shaken up. One shoulder was sprained in the fall, but apart from the severe shock and the bad bruises sustained, the most serious injury entailed was the breakâ€" ing of the bone in the right foot. Mrs. Sharp was given medical attention at once and hurried to the hospital where all possible was done for her. At the time of writing it is apparent that her strength has combatted the injuries sustained and she is now well on the way to recovery. Mrs. Sharp is the mother of Mr. Geo. Sharp, one of the most popular emâ€" ployees of the Hollinger, who is at present on the staff at the pumping station Mrs., Sharp Injured in Accident ¢n Sunday.

"Raspberry" was the clerk of the sales and exhibited the cakes, even offering members of the audience a taste of the cake on auction to start the bidding. One cake he wanted to sell at so much per "knop,*~ which he later changed to "walnuts‘" after a lady had enlightened him on the constituents of cakes, A special caused great amusement, the auctionâ€" eer tieing his tongue in knotsâ€" trying to shout out the bids. The proceeds of the sale went to help a poor family, and the bidders deserve credit for the way they bid on the cakes. The sum realizâ€" ed was $11.20. With the singing of "God Save the King" the entertainment closed, all voting that they had certainly enjoyed a real good time. In fact, the Legion made more than one new friend by this event. The entertainment committee deserve great thanks for their part in the programme which was a fine sucâ€" cess from start to finish. At the "Ladies‘ Night" of the Canaâ€" dian Legion on Monday evening in the Oddfellows‘ hall, fourteen cakes were auctioned off, these being a surplus from the bountiful supply of food proâ€" vided for the evening. The proceeds from the sale of the cakes was given to a needy family in town, the family being $11.20 richer as a result of the thoughtful kindness of the Legion and the generosity of the bidders. The bidâ€" ders showed further generosity by leayâ€" ing the cakes to be disposed of by the officers of the Legion to where they would do the.â€" most good. Accordingly, after the event had concluded and the smoke of battle had cleared away, as it were, the Legion found there were fourteen cakes to be disposed of right away. Theâ€"cakes are now no more, or nearly so. They were taken down to the CAS. Shelter where the youngsters knew exactly what to do with these fine cakes. The gift from the bidders and the Legion was much appreciated. FOURTEEN CAKES FOR THE CHILDREN‘S AID SHELTER Mr. Roger Courtemanche has acceptâ€" ed a position in the assay ofiice of the Horne Mine, Noranda, P.Q.

Comâ€" munity singine followed and all took |pa,rt and enjoyed this feature of the evening. A vocal number by Thos. !Huntly made a decided hit and was enthusiastically encored. W. A. Devine presided at the piano for this number. Mrs. Wai. Forrester‘s delightful recitaâ€" tion won great appreciation. It was quaintly humorous and given with spirit.. This artist made a decided hit. W. Elphick then favoured with "Oh, Arthur," which won very pronounced recall. This was followed by Comrades Elphick and Curtis in a dialogue that created great fun, the inevitable encores being responded to by these gifted enâ€" tertainers in songs and story and pilano musi¢c. A square dance at this point in the programme proved a strikingâ€" ly popular number and was much enâ€" joyed by many of those present. Then came the refreshments which were up to the usual high standard set by all Legion events. Everyone seemed to particularly enjoy the "eats," etc. After the refreshments had been enâ€" joyed, President Neame gave a short address pointing out the good work accomplished by the Ladies‘ Auxiliary. He remarked on the fact that in all work the ladies were forward and he was proud of the assistance the ladies had given th2> Legion since its organâ€" ization. Mrs. Maxwoll, president of" the Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Legion, in a short speech thanked all for the good assistance and support given her durâ€" ing the past year, and trusted that the same help and coâ€"operation would be equally evident during the coming year. Comradeos ~PForrester andâ€" Bellamy then gave a duet, "Larboard Watch," and were greatly applauded for the selection and its presentation. Miss James then pleased the gatherâ€" ing with a ballet dance which was givâ€" en with exceptional talent and skii:. The grace and suppleness of this gifted dancer won very enthusiastic applause and as an encore she gave another unusual exhibition of dancing. â€" Next in order was a square dance which was greatly enjoyed, the dancers entering into the dance with vim and enjoyment. _ A‘ter this number there was quite a demand for ice cream. There was a specially large crowd at the "Ladies‘ Night" event in the Oddâ€" fellows‘ hall on Monday evgening unâ€" der the auspices of the Timmins Post of the Canadian Legion, and all present had a very happy time from beginning to end.
