LOSES SEAT IN COUNCIL SECOND TIME THIS YEAR Twice elected to the Calvert Townâ€" ship council for 1930 and twice proâ€" tested on the ground that he was in arrears of taxes to that municipality, E. Montfort is again off that body. Thursday, March 6th, 1930 Before Judge Caron at Cochrane on Monday, a motion to have him unseatâ€" ed for the second time, in two months, was argued and his honour declared the seat on the board vacant. New nominâ€" ations, the fourth to be held for this year‘s council, will take place at an early date in the township hall at Anâ€" sonville On Monday <at Cochrane, it was argued, that Mr. Montfort had not paid the taxes due on a vacant lot he owned, and also that the property on which he resides, and on which arrears also have accumulated, was assessed to himâ€" self and not in his wife‘s name, as had THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO been thought. The amount involved is about $300. ‘Mr. Montfort who was first elected by acclamation with the other members, subsequently was proâ€" tested and resigned. only to be returned when an election was held to fill a vaâ€" cancy caused by the resignation of anâ€" other member. A very good crowd attended the conâ€" cert given last Thursday in the Trinity United Church by very kind artists from Timmins who were well received.

CAN RIDE SAWLOGS AT THE AGE OF SEVENTYâ€"THREE W. K. Baldwin, of Baldwin‘s Mills, Que., in a recent interview said: "I thank Heaven I spring from stock that can see, think and work and can always find something to do. I was born in a sawmill and cradled on.a bob sleigh or close to one. I never solicited an orâ€" der but have what the people want and when they want it. I carry all kinds of lumber for which there is a good local demand." Continuing the veterâ€" an lumberman legislator remarked, ‘"Timber grows on my lands faster than I have cut it since the war, as I do now wish to compete with those who do business at a loss or for just a bare existence, I am on my toes fifteen hours daily and ride logs at nearly 73 on the water better than anyone I hire. I am the happiest person I know and have. proved for many years that work kills no one but that worry takes off multiâ€" tudes. The dread of work probably doses the same. Many of the huskies on the mighty Ottawa lived to be nearâ€" ly a century old but their offspring are not to be found in many instances. Sir George Perley is an exception, and is really enjoying himself and I hope there are others. The Gillies, of Braeâ€" side, are a fine type of men and are helping to keep our country going." 832 163 214 190 200 261 999 129 .228 266. 175 205. 956 166 205 168 103 205 112 134 197 139 194 7176 316 191 217 144 162 912 187 286 217. 220 934 146 243 140. 240 212 1088 273 119 .. 272 .201 .302 1049 170 164 174 199 247 203 215 223 229 876 237 263 164 198 264 3162 points. ...... 500 ....... 412 ....... 622 ....... 572 ....... 660 2696 .. 102 .024 .679 2960 .. 491 .678 T47 .618 2756 .. 049 11 .473 . 841 .681 125 GANADIAN HISTORY PAGEANT VERY EFFEGTIVELY PRESENTED (Continued from Page One) Sir John A.

To single out any single scene or character for special mention seeims hardly fair as they were all so good, and to mention those that were parâ€" ticularly good would be to list all. For instance, all the provinces and the Dominion were very pleasingly portrayâ€" ed. The Indians were effectively deâ€" picted. The scenes in the early hisâ€" tory were presented in excellent way while the French explorers and pioâ€" neers were very capably presented. Special mention may well be made of the singing and instrumental music, all very pleasing, the soloists being esâ€" pecially noteworthy. One of the parâ€" ticularly popular scenes was that of St. Martin‘s Day. This was a lifeâ€"like sketch that was educational to the adults present because of the glimpse it gave of historic days in graphic porâ€" trayal. Another popular favourite was the parliamentary scenes. The way the boys conducted the business of the day in the House was a delight to all. The boys entered into the spirit of it all, and the addresses and the general business were exceptionally well hanâ€" dled. In the picturing of Canada‘s great men there was perhaps outstandâ€" ing interest in the two romantic figâ€" ures of Canada‘s political life, Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, both very cleverly depicted. Space will not permit of further reâ€" ference to the pupils who did their parts so well, but it may suffice to say that each and every one of the ninetyâ€" seven taking part may well be proud of their success. The principal, teachers and pupils wish to give their thanks to all the organizations and individuals who loaned furniture, costumes and other equipment and accessories for the conâ€" cert. The proceeds from the event were planned to be used for the purpose of buying a lantern for the school for the projection of educational pictures on cards, cutâ€"outs, slides and films in conâ€" nection with the teaching of geography. history, nature study, hygiene and safeâ€" ty first in the various class rooms in the school. .Slides and films especially prepared for use in the classrcooms may be obtained free of charge from the various departments of the Ontario government. All will be interested to know that the event netted enough to allow the purchase of the lantern. About $200.00 will be netted from the concerts. In addition it may be noted that the event must certainly have been of educational value to the children, as well as providing a very pleasing enâ€" tertainment for the adults who attendâ€" ed any or all of the events.
