The oldâ€"time Lancers was also enâ€" joyed. The fine dance music for the evening was supplied by Messrs W. A. Devine, piano, "Scotty‘" Boyd, violin, and Bertie Hornby, traps. The refreshments were served by the ladies‘ committee and needless to say there was an abundance of good things to eat. The accompanists for the evening were Mrs. Carroll, Mr. Jenkins and W. A. Devine. solo. This was followed by more dances. A very pleasing duet by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Jenkins was one of the noticable features of the programime. Musical chairs were then enjoyed by all, the ladies taking the first set and Mrs. Geo. Jenkins being the winner of the prize. All the men took part in the next set of musical chairs and there was quite a struggle at the finish between Messrs Geo. Jenkins and Elâ€" mer Whseeler. The latter, however, won cut the prize. The next novelty was a roulette Gdance. The wheel was spun and the couple holding the number inâ€" dicated on the wheel were given a noâ€" velty prize. There were about fifteen couples receiving these prizes, and some are still tasting the sweetmeats. A Spanish dance was given by Miss McMillan and was heartily applauded. The vocal solo by Mrs. Webber and the ballet danmzse by Miss James were yvery ballet dance by Miss James were very effectively given and much appreciated. Other dances of the evening were:â€" military twoâ€"step, English waltz, foxâ€" trots and waltzes. A very pleasing evening was enjoyed by all present at the Lancashire Social Club‘s social evening given in the Holâ€" linger hall last Thursday night. A general meeting was held previous to the entertainment and several items of importance were dealt with, one being that the club will hold an open dance on Thursday, Fsb. 6th, in the Hollinâ€" ger Recreation hall, dancing to be from 9 to 1 a.m. The social on Thursday evening starting off with a Paul Jones, followed by a foxâ€"trot and waltz. Mr. Bellamy delighted the gathering with a vocal time, it would be well for all to make a special note of the dates and the place and other particulars in regard to the visit here of the Imperial Welsh Singers. A number in Timmins have already heard this choir, and all are emphatic in saying they will not miss them here, ANQTHER FINE EVENI g LANCASHIRE so¢iar‘ Musicâ€"lovers in Timmins and district are elooking forward eagerly to th genuine musical treat assured them here on Friday and Saturday evenings, Feb. 7th and 8th, when Timmins will be honoured by a visit from the Imâ€" perial Welsh Singers, the famous chorâ€" eral commendation from all who enâ€" joy the finest of vocal music. ~The Imâ€" perial Welsh Singers are now making a tour of Canada and Newfoundland, and the Timmins Welsh Choral Society has been successful in having two evenings, Feb.â€"Ith and 8th, reserved for Timmins. The concerts on these two nights to be given at Timmins will be held in the United Church, and tickets are now on sale. There are a few reserved "seats for each night, and tickets and plan of the hall is at Moisâ€" ley Ball‘s drug store. The prices for the occasion have been kept to. popular level, so there is no reason why all musicâ€"lovers in town and district should not enjoy the excellent proâ€" grammes that will be provided by th» Imperial Welsh Singers. <This group of Welsh singers is admitted to be probably the best of its kind to come from Wales, the little country so famâ€" ed for its singers and its fine choirs. Musical critics place the Impsrial Welsh Singers among the leading chorâ€" al organizations of the world toâ€"day. The popular appeal made by this choir is equally noteworthy. One critic in referring to the work of the Imperial Welsh Singers made a noteworthy point when he said that the Imperial Welsh Singers made the strongest apâ€" peal both to those who know music and to those who simply love music. Other critics feature the fact that practically every member of the Welsh Singers is a soloist of outstanding talent, while the harmony of the choral singing, the perfection of time and tone, are equalâ€" ly pleasing and appealing. In every newspaper of every city where the Imâ€" peral Welsh Singers have appeared on this tour, the highest praise is given to the vocalists, both individually and as a choir. Their programme is mentionâ€" ed as remarkably good in every parâ€" ticular. There is spgecial praise for the talent of R. Festyn Davies, the gifted conductor of the choir. Particulars of the programme to be given here will no doubt be available later.

IMPERIAL WELSH SINGERS AT TIMMINS FEB. 1 AND 8 Ehe PQorcupine Mpante "The Joneses, working themselves from their bonds, investigated the cause of the conversation and found electricâ€" ians testing the projector apparatus. Timely reproduction of the sound unâ€" doubtedly saved the men from severe injury and the theft of the money." "They were strangling the younger man with a cord when voices woere heard comingâ€"from the stage. The robbers left their victims and escaped to the street. ‘"The watchmen, Charies Jones, forty, and his father Edward, sixtyâ€"eight years old, were in the manager‘s office at three o‘clock yesterday, when seized and bound by the bandits, who Jeâ€" manded the‘ combination to the strong box which keld $5,000. "Reproduction of dialogue on a reâ€" cord being used to test projection apâ€" paratus in the BF.T. Theatre, 790 Manhattan Avenue, in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, scared off three thugs who were torturing the watchâ€" men of the house in an effort to learn the combination of the safe. Apparently a new use has been found for the talkies. This new use is to frighten away theatre bandits. The manager of the Goldfields theatre in calling the attention of The Advance to the matter, suggests that anyone atâ€" tempting to "crash their way‘‘ into the theatre would likely be "bawled out" by the talkies, this new form of sound picture being so intelligent. However, here is the veracious story of how the talkies protected the theatre cash box in New York, as given in one of the theatre magzazines this month:â€" TALKIES FRIGHTENED AWAY THREE THEATRE BANDBLTS The other fire was at 2.30 a.m. on Friday morning at 117 First avenue, at the house cwned by Alex Feldman and occupied by Mr. Dees. This fire apâ€" paréntly â€"started in the cellar. Alâ€" though it had a fair start before the firemen were summoned, the brigade was able to extinguish the blaze beâ€" fore any serious damage was done. The chief loss was caused by the water necessary to use to put out the blaze. There was insurance on the building, but there was no insurance carried on the furniture. There were two fires in houses in town the latter part of last week. On Thursday fire at 93 Third avenue did $400.00 or $500.00 damage. The loss on the building was covered by insurance »ut the occupant of the house had no insurance on the furniture. The firse brigade did their usual effective work but some damage resulted to the furniâ€" ture, though the chief injury was thae building. It is thought that this is one of the fires that actually originated from electric wiring. Usually there is reason to question the probability of electric wiring causing a fire. Often tests show the wiring to be harmless after the fire is over. In this cass, however, all the facts suggest the probâ€" ability of the fire starting from the wiring. Announcement was made last week of a card party, under the auspices of the ladies of the Church of the Nativiâ€" ty to be held in the parish hall Thursâ€" day evening of this week, Jan. 23rd. Bridge, five hundred and euchre will be on the programme, with the usual attractive prizes. All attending can be sure of a very pleasant and interesting evening.

There is now another St. Patrick‘s Day event annsunced, this latter feature, howâ€" ever being the evening before the actuâ€" al seventsenth of owld Oiraland. On March 16th, the regular band concert will be "Irish Night" in honour of the Patron Saint and the Emerald Isle. The band concert programme for th> evening is being arranged by Bandsâ€" man P.

PATRICEK‘S DAY EVENTS ANNQUNCED FOR TIMMINS® Mrs. Sharp, who was injured some weeks ago through a fall down the celâ€" lar steps at her home, was sufficiently recovered last week to be able to return to her home. She had been in the hosâ€" pital since the accident, but her many friends will hope that her recovery will continue right along now and that she will soon be none the worse for the unâ€" fortunate accident. The payments to policyholders also constituted a record and amounted to $10,307,094. . Beneficiaries under death claims received $3,586,587, while payâ€" ments to living policyholders for maâ€" tured policies, annuities, etc., were $4,â€" 207,163, and dividends to policyholders $2,013,344. In addition to the above the company set aside $2,958,864 for dividends to policyholders in 1930. The mortality was again very favourable. Surplus earnings in 1929 were the largest in the history of the company. In August last the company announced substantial reductions in all premium rates. The assets of the company increased by twelve million dollars and amountâ€" ed to $99,435,576. Over thirtyâ€"eight million dollars of this amount is investâ€" ed in Government, Government Guarâ€" anteed, Municipal and Public Utility Bonds, while first mortgages on amâ€" proved real estate amounted to $35,â€" 164,281. Preferred and common stocks owned by the company aggregate $788,â€" 020. The net rate of interest earned was over 6.’1%. The new insurance issued again established a record and amounted to $93,3965,730. The gain in insurance in force surpassed all previous figures, bringing the amount in force to $504,â€" 481,203. The fortyâ€"third annual report of the Manufacturers Life Insurance Comâ€" pany for 1929, as submitted to policyâ€" holders and shareholders at the annuâ€" al meeting held on the 16th of January, shows year of unprecedented proâ€" gress. Marine Boinda was charged at North Bay recently with forgery, and he was accused of forging no less than the police chief‘s name. He presented a ncote to a North Bay restaurant, this note reading:â€""Please give Jack Densâ€" more one full course meal and charge Chief Clark." The cafe proprietor was suspicious of the note and phoned the police station.. A poli¢eman went along and picked up the man presenting the note. It developed that his name was not that contained in the note, and the note was not written or approved by Chief Clark. ‘"Ten days in jail just to remind you that it is not right to sign another man‘s name to a docuâ€" ment," Magistrate Weegar told the accused. GREAT PROGRESS SHOWN BY MANUFACTURERS‘ LIFE FORGED POLICE CHIEF‘S NAME TO GET MEAL AT NORTH BAY There is a notable reduction in fees this year, which is at least one election promise that is fully fulfilled. For cars 25 h.p. and under the fee is $5.00, inâ€" stead of $11.00, as in some cases last year. For 25 h.p. to 35 h.p. the fee is $10.00. For 35 h.p. and over the charge is $20.00.

In some families this kind of thing leads to quarrelling. The Department of Health for Onâ€" tario, of which Hon. Forbes Godfrey is the Minister, has just issued a handâ€" some and helpful booklet, titled "The Baby." From it appealing cover showâ€" ing two charming youngsters to its last page it is filled with matter of interest to all concerned with the health of children.

HANDBSOME AND USEFUL NEW BOOGKLET, "THE BABY," ISSUED men from a distance. â€" Dog fancietrs evidently are convinced that this pet dog is out of the ordinary. James Gray, the judge of the dog entries at the Porcupine Poultry was so impressed with the unique quality of one of the dogs at the show that h2 secured permission from the owner to take this animal to the south in the next week or so for exhibition at some of the big dog shows. The dog is the fancy pet dog owned by W. W. Orr and that is a consistent winner at shows here whenever shown and irrespective of whether the judges be local men or The public is urged to extend its supâ€" port to the charity ball on Friday night, Feb. 14th, not only for the enjoyment to be obtained, but to help further good work that is its object. TO EXHIBIT TTIMMINS DOG AT SHOWS IN THE SOUTH The childâ€"city, and the results it is obtaining in producing sterling men and women of tomorrow, is the source of wonderment among educators and social workers the world over. Its eduâ€" cational standard is of the highest and has been given a prominent place among schools of all sorts throughout the States. Mooseheart is a city complete in itâ€" self, with its own water and sanitary systems, its fire patrol, its excellentlv equipped hospital, its schools and workâ€" ships. The children range in age from tiny infants to young men and women of approximately eighteenâ€"the age atl which they usually graduate, equipped in heart, mind and hand to take up life‘s work. Physically, Mooseheart is a vast parkâ€"like estate of more than 1,000 acres, from whose summer greonâ€" ery or winter whiteness arise more than 150 cottages and other buildings constructed of graniteâ€"face concrete with red tile roofs. It is expected that Timmins lodge will direct that its quota be used espeâ€" _clally in the erection and construction of a boys‘ village at Mooseheart. There are upward of 2,000 childrenâ€"orphans or dependents of deceased members of the Mcooseâ€"being provided a home, a high school education and instruction in a trade in the childâ€"city. The Board of Governors, headed by James J. Davis, United States Secretary of Laâ€" bour, believes better training of the youngsters and better administration of childâ€"city affairs can be brought about by building the boys‘ village, wherein boys of eight to twelve years will be lodged. The plan calls for a total expenditure of $750,000, to construct the thirty buildings deemed necessary. The buildâ€" ings will be of beautiful design, totally devoid of every institutional aspect and each supplying a home for twenty boys growing to intelligent and efficiens manhood under the instruction of tactâ€" ful and earnest leaders. One of the most interesting and pleasant of the holiday season‘s activiâ€" ties is the Mooseheart Charity Ball to be held Friday night, Feb. 14, at 9 0o‘â€" clock in McIntyre hall. This will be a public affair and the object of the ball is to help Timmins lodge of the Moose, raise its quota of funds in the vast building programme at Mooseheart, Illinois, the childâ€"city of the Moose.
