im im l l ie c s on ol N Ne Th 12 0) + 2 ) Under the heading, "Popular Oldâ€" Timer of the Camp Leaves for Toronâ€" to," The Advance of Jan. 21st, 1920, had the following:â€"*"There is very general regret at the. loss to the camp this week in the departure of Mr. E. H. Bridger for Toronto, after a long and useful connection with the business life of the town from its early days. At different times Mr. Bridger was connected with the staffis of the express companies wEA e t P ENE here, the T. N. O. Railway, and the J. R. Gordon office. For some time he was manager of the Timmins office of the Homer L. Gibson firm, and in July, 1918, he opened in business for himself in the book, stationery and fancy good line, purchasing the L. Stadelman busiâ€" ness here. In all capacitiee he won deserved popularity and general esteem and confident. There was more than passing regret when the fire on Third avenue early in December of last year left him a very heavy loser from the damage done to his stocks. Mr. Bridgâ€" er left on Monday morning of this week for Toronto where he will take over the management of Homer L. Gibâ€" son‘s city office, and in his new position his innumerable friends in this district not only wish him the best of good luck, but they feel sure he will win success, if merit, ability and good fellowship count. Mrs. Bridger and family will remain in Timmins for a month or two until Mr. Bridger gets settled in his new place. On Wednesday evening of last week Mr. and Mrs. Bridger enterâ€" tained a few friends at their home on "Tamarack street, the evening being a very pleasant one, marred only by the #400000000000000000000086 40000000600090000000000000000000000000000000000000660046666 o_om-mo«wmooooooowwmomomommwNOO“mW““’o s “jUNIOR K.O.H.A.

This also was the one drawback to the pleasure of the event given on Friday evening by Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Martin as a farewell party to Mr. Bridger. A number of friends enjoyed a very pleasant evening at Mr. and Mrs. Martin‘s, and Mr. H. M. Marâ€" tin very aptly phrased the general reâ€" gret felt at the expected loss to the disâ€" trict by the removal of Mr. and Mrs. Bridger and family, and the very sinâ€" cere wishes for their happiness and prosperity in their new home. After the hockey match on Saturday evening Mr. Bridger was called to Mr. J. K. Moore‘s where Mr. Moore and other members of the executive on behalf of the Timmins Football Club presented him with an elegant adjustable shavâ€" ing stand and set, and a finely mountâ€" ed pen, as slight tokens of the appreâ€" ciation felt by the Football Club for the work and interest so generously given to the game by him and also as From data in the Porcupine Advance Fyles. w se Te 2c s n ty marks of the genera.l esteem felt for his fine quality of good citizenship and his many genial and likeable qualities." R. McCaffery and Miss Viola Johns; violin solos by John A. McDonald; Santa Claus impersonation, by Frank E. Miller. John Fell made a very capâ€" able chairman for the occasion. Messrs Jchn Fell and C. W. Dowsett were creâ€" dited as being the motive force behind the very pleasant event. In the columns of The Advance ten years ago considerable space was given to the games in the Porcupine hockey league. In the series the town won one fast game from the McIntyres, though the latter had been picked by many to be the victors for the occasion. The win was a decisive one, nevertheless, the score being 11 to 5 in favour of the town team. The Advance credited much of the victory to the effective hard work of Frank McGuire, Jos. Brennan and Don Campbell on the forâ€" ward line, though the defence men and Bobby Hoggarth in goal also came in for deserved mention. For the MciInâ€" tyres Parker was the best man. Bobby Hoggarth had the illâ€"luck to be hit in the eye by the puck but kept on at the game just the same. The lineâ€"up for Timmins was:â€"Hoggarth, goal; Lake and Loughrin, defence; McGuire, Brenâ€" nan and Campbell, forwards; Burritt, Jemmett, Laflamme and Ralph, spares. MciIintyre team included:â€"MciIntyre, goal; Gregory and Ellis, defence; Parkâ€" er, Cox and Briden, forwards; Levine, spare. G. S. Lowe gave general satisâ€" faction as referee. The Advance ten years ago gave speâ€" cial mention of the annual entertainâ€" ment of the Dome employees. This prozramme â€" included:â€"recitation, by little Lorne McCaw; duet, by Messrs Betty Dowsett and Mary Murphy; song, by Vincent Steinway, Mrs. J. J. Jordan, accompanist; dancing and singing, by Mr. Downey and Miss Mary . Downey, Miss Clelah Brown playing the accompaniments on the piano; choruses by the children under the diâ€" rection of Mrs. O. Gillette, who also favoured with two entertaining recitaâ€" tions; solo by A. Kincaid, accompanied by Mrs. Kincaid; piano duet by Mrs. J. ] } The first moceasin dance at the Timâ€" mins skating rink was held on Jan. 15th, 1920, and was generally voted a very pronounced success. Indeed, so wellâ€"pleased were both the public and the rink management, that a number of similar events were at once planned for the season. At the first moccasin dance here there were about 250 in atâ€" tendance and all had a good time. Scotty Wilson‘s orchestra furnished a good line of good music. The moccasin style of dancing proved very popular. A. Gagne kindly loaned a piano for the use of the orchestra. Reference was made in The Advance ten years ago to the fact that the Keâ€" ora was putting in an upâ€"toâ€"date minâ€" ing plant. The machinery was unloadâ€" ed at the Three Nations station und carted from there to the property. A. J. Brant, who had been manager of the Keora up to a short time before this, had left to look after a number of his own personal holdings in the North. He was having camps built on his proâ€" perty adjoining the Bidgood, near Mud Lake, in the Kirkland Lake area. Returned men and others will be inâ€" terested at this time in the notice pubâ€" lished by The Advance for several weeks ten years ago. This notics, signâ€" ed by Dr. J. A. McInnis, mayor of Timâ€" mins, read as follows:â€""All returnea soldiers who were residents of the town of Timmins at the time of enlistment, are asked to give in their full Christâ€" ian names and surnames at once to H. C. Garner, secretary of the G.W.V.A. The names are for use on the honour certificates to be given the returned men by the town and it is desired to have the correct and full name of each soldier concerned. The majority of names are now on fyle, but it is specialâ€" ly desired to have the Christian nams in full in each case, so the returned men are asked to kindly give the inforâ€" mation desired to H. C. Garner at once." As this notice was carried in several issues of The Advance and as of resolutions passed by the Mountjoy Settlers‘ Association. These resolutions included requests for forest fire protecâ€" tion, better roads and schools, a siding to connect with the spur line built from Timmins to the Mattagami river. A motion by John Power and S. P. Lindâ€" say, asked the Ontario Government to grant funds necesary to carry on the improvement and building of roads acâ€" cording to the merit of the settlement. The resolution asked that the settlers be allowed to pick out a man to look after the roads in the township, instead of the Government appointing a man this paper also gave very generous publicity to the plan, it will be seen that if any of the soldiers from Tim= mins were overlooked, it was their own fault or that of some of their friends as every possible effort was made to have all the returned men listed. There was a very successful and pleasing dance enjoyed on Jan. 17th, 1920, after a hockey match. The event was held in the New Empire theatre basement and was attended by fully one hundred couples. The event was staged by Scotty Wilson‘s orchestra, and Scotty and his partners were givâ€" en the highest credit for the success and pleasure of this and similar events. Ten years ago the Mountjoy Settlers‘ Association was an active and useful body. The secretary, F. M. Wallingâ€" ford in the early part of 1920 sent the Cabinet Ministers concerned a number THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, CONTARIO for purely political purposes. A moâ€" tion by Messrs S. McChesney and John Power, asked for a proper siding on the Mattagami townsite for the accommo® daton of the settlers and the general public. Messrs Chas. E. Wallingford and Fabian Boissoneault, on motion suggested that the Dept. of Lands and Forests be asked to clear enough land in the vicinity of Mattagami Heights to protect said town and settlement from forest fires. A resolution was also forwarded to the Minister of Educaâ€" tion asking that prompt steps be taken by the Department to have a school organized within the community. ‘"We ask not for special favours," said Mr. Wallingford in a letter to the Governâ€" ment, "but only for that which we as pioneers deserve." Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"‘"Len Smith left last week for a visit to his home in Haileybury." "Bornâ€"At Haileybury hospital to Mr. and Mrs. V. H. Emery, on January 3rd, 1920,â€"a daughter." "His many friends in the district will be pleased to learn that J. T. Easton is making satisfactory prozress to recovery from his recent ilness." "Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Taillon returned last week after a few weeks‘ hcliday spent in Ottawa, Toronto and other points south and east." "The 1920 council is following the plan of the 1919 council in holding its sessions on the second and fourth Monidays of each month." "Gordon Spence, of the Bank af Commerce staff, Timmins, left on Thursday morning last for Montreal where he has been promoted to a good position on the bank staff. Mr. Spence was popular here in many circles, espeâ€" cially in clean, manly sport such as baseball, hockey, tennis, golf, etc., and he will be much missed in town. His numerous friends here, however, will wish him the best of good luck and advancement wherever he may be." "John Dolan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Dolan, Third street, Haileybury, lost his life at the McIntyre Mine, on Monâ€" day, Jan. 12th. The accident was caused by a fall of rock. Deceased, wh> was only a young man, had peen employed at the MciIntyre only since last October. Previous to coming to the McIintyre he lived with his parents at Haileybury and was employed in a livery there. The remains were taken to Haileybury for interment. Much sympathy is expressed for the sorrowâ€" ing parents." "J. Cloutier, of Timmins, was a Haileybury visitor last week." "Arthur Stevens has been elected by acclamation as president of the Cochâ€" rane Board of Trade." "E. Lightbody has returned from Edmonton, accomâ€" panied by his bride. Mr. and Mrs. Lightbody will take up residence at the Dome." "The Anglican Social Club held their weekly meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Jemmett on Monday evening. About twenty young people were present and enjoyed a soâ€" cial evening and a pleasant dance. Mr. Harry Rinn was appointed treasurâ€" er to succeed Mr. R. Benallick." "There was a large turnout at the New Empire theatre on Wednesday evening last to hear the Hawalian Quartette. These native musicians from the southâ€" ern islands have been widely praised by the press of the cities visited on this tour. Here they gave instrumental and vocal selections, and all who are charmed by Hawaiian music, were deâ€" lightsd with all the selections given. The quartette included three men and cne woman, all garbed in native cosâ€" tume, and playing and singing the Haâ€" waiian music." "Harry Hepplestone, the returned soldier reported last week as mysterously disappeared, turned up again at Cobablt during the weekâ€"end, and expressed surprise at the fuss made over his supposed disappearance. . He said he had simply been away on busiâ€" ness, and that he had been doing no kind of disappearing act at all, and that the newspaper and street talk to the country was all nonsense." SWINGING BABY BY FEET TO PUT CHILD TO SLEEP An unusual way of teaching a youngâ€" ster to go to sleep at night was told by Miss Edmison, Victorian Order nurse at Cobalt in her annual report subâ€" mitted recently. Miss Edmison said that she had been asked by the mother of the babe to adopt the merryâ€"goâ€" round principle to change the circulaâ€" tion of the blood as the lady figured it out, so that the baby would accordâ€" ingly be taught to sleep nights instead cf day. Miss Edmison using the inciâ€" dent to illustrate the varied calls made upon her from time to time said that the child went byeâ€"bye all right but elected to sleep in the daytime. At night, the infant insisted on remainâ€" ing awake, and its departure from orthâ€" odox custom in this respect meat that other members of the family had to keep the latest addition company. The imother, an Italian woman, summoned the V. O. N. nurse and suggested that Miss Edmison grasp the baby firmly by the feet and swing it. around three times, in order that it might develop normal habits of slumber. In another instance, Miss Edmison related, she was called out at 9.45 p.m., after having been up most of the preâ€" vious night and putting in a sctrenuous day, to fix a bandage that had worked loose, although there were three grownâ€" up daughters in the house with the patient. The nurse‘s report showed she had attended 288 cases during the year, had paid 2,773 visits, attended 47 "well baby" clinics with an average attenâ€" dance of 17 children, and had worked on an average, seven hours daily and four hours on Sunday. Although there were 32 fewer patients than in 1928, there were 162 more visits.
