"It is all right for you to mention these genuine Timmins turkeys," this reader said to The Advance, "but did you know that Timmins has a live turkey that sometimes takes possession of Colâ€" umbus avenue and has a lot o° fun or trouble chasing youngsters and someâ€" times grownâ€"ups on that street?". This reader thinks that this live turkey with his aggressive ways might be quoted as un advertisement for the Timmins Charity Turkey Stag. "The dogs are tied up and the cats have been largely caten up by the dogs in days gone by," says this reader, "so this strutting turâ€" key comes in handy to remind people that all the wild life is not altogether gone from this country." At any other time than the annual Turkey Stag seaâ€" son it would seem to6 bad that this North Land could not borrow a Sault Ste. Marie wolf, or a Haileybury bear, or at least muster one porcupine of its own. On the cther hand, with a live turkey on tap here the hopes fo# farmâ€" ing progress should take renewed courâ€" age. Long live the turkey! Christmas is so opsnly the children‘s special season that nearly everybody admits these days that cne of the chief objects in life is to see that the youngâ€" sters are amused. Accordingly, on the principal of "turn about being fair play," it is not out of place to call on some of the youngsters to amuse their elders. For instance hereâ€"in the folâ€" lowing "howlers‘"â€"the youngsters cerâ€" YOUNXNGSTERS SUPPLY SOME GOOD CHRISTMAS CHEER Magna Charta said the King was not to order taxis without the consent of Parliament. The Duke of Marlborough was a srsat general who always commenced a battle with the fixed determination t> win or lose. The fire of London did a great deal of good. It purified the city from the dregs of the plague, and burned down eightyâ€"nine churches. Charles II told the pecple they could get drunk or gamble or do what they liked. This was called the Restoration. Liberty o‘ conscience means do‘ing wreong and not worrying about it afterâ€" wards. A candiéate for the Civil Service must be a neutralized British subject. Many people say that free trade is better than detection. Ambiguity means telling the truth when you don‘t mean to. The Haileyburian last week said:â€" "Wilfred (Red) Jago, formerly of the Haileybury Intermediates, who is now located in Timmins, will try for a place on the South Porcupine Seniors, and should make the grade, if all reports rom Rouyn, where "Red" has been loâ€" cated for the past_few seasons, are true.

WORKMAN KILLED AT TAE HOWEY MINE PROPERTY All the interesting wild animal stories do nct come from Sault Ste. Marie. The Examiner‘s Angus correspondsnt Icarnt.ributes a very unusual one this veek regarding two deer which paced lJa motor car for two miles. Our corâ€" res»cndent writes:â€" Another Man Painfully Injured Another Accident at the Same Mine Recently According to Word from Red Lake. According to word from Red Lake this week the Howey Mine has been the scene recently of a couple of unforâ€" tunate accidents, one of them resulting in the loss of a man‘s life and the other causing very painfuul injuries to a workman at the property. The| Howey has had good fortune up to | date on account of the care and attenâ€" | tion given by all concerned to prevent! any accidents. Every effort has beeni made to provide safety, because both ; the men and the mining industry arej determined so far as humanly possible ; to avoid all accidents. l DEER RUN AHEAD OF AUTO FOR ABOUT TWO MILES OR S0 Here is another nature note from The Barrie Examineér of last week:â€" "Farly Sunday morning two deer were segn passing through the villags ahsad of a motor car. The molorist was on his way to Camp Borden and came upon the desor stand@ging on the roard about a miles east of tha village of Angus. Instead of the deer leaving the road and jumping the fence into a field, they started down the road ahscad of the car and passed right through the main streets of the villags, travelling at an average specd of 30 miles an hour. At times the car was no further than 20 feet from their hesels, but this did not frighten them. from the road. The driver, Richard Gander of Toronto, states that he also used his horn, but the deer did nost leave the road until they reached the small forest of young pine trees planted on Camp Borden ground, having then travelled at this speed for at least two miles, Deer have been known to stand on the road and watch the headlights of a car approach and possibly get hit, but no one here who saw it can account for this occurrence." $1,00 up tA ONTARIO CIGARS, CIGARETTES THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO TOBACCOS In Christmas Petite Packages Wants Railroad Not a Road Out to Kamiskotia ‘The following was received last week too late for publication in that issue of The Advance.
