Story of Plumbing Told in Interesting Way to Kiwanis At the Kiwanis Club luncheon at the Empire hotel on Monday there were two outstanding features. One was the excellent address by the speaker of the day, Kiwanian Reg Smith, whose talk was both informative and intensely inâ€" teresting. The cther special hit was the singing of homeâ€"distilled songs by members of the club. This originated at a previous meeting when Kiwanians Lee Honey and Bill Rinn were taunted and tormented to sing. The charge was made that they found humorous fault with the singing of others and so should show how it should be done. They pleaded at the previous meeting that they did not have their music with them. Monday they very plainly had the music there on display. They started to sing behind a block of cardâ€" Only Ninety Years Since the First Bath Tub Installed in the US.A. Value of Sanitation to Health and Comâ€" fort. _ Kiwanian Reg.

Records of the song and fingerâ€"prints may be obtainâ€" ed at Ottawa or from any local stealer." The big music sheet bore these words:â€" The cover of the song sheet, which was of cardboard 22 by 28 inches in size, was profusely and confusedly illusâ€" trated by pictures of the composer, imâ€" poser, proposer and discomposer of the music The words of the song were as folâ€" lows:â€" When I wake up, I‘m snoring, Snoring merrily. Hi, Ho, the merrio! For I‘m a Kiwanee Hi, Ho, the merrio, For I‘m Kiwanee Sounds like someone singing, Just like your singing it, I keep snoring it. Dan‘t wake me up, For I‘m enjoying it. send back all the song books, Send them, duty free. Hi, Ho, the merrio, For I‘m a Kiwanee. This was not allowed to pass without due reply, however, Kiwanians Jack Walker and C. G. Keddie at once alâ€" lowing themselves to be persuaded to respond with a real song, actually sung. It was to the tune of "Abdul Abulbul Amir," and was about as follows:â€" 1 went to Kiwanis expecting to sing And listen to speeches galore.

Then Bill Rinn spoke up Like a petulant pup Saying, "I‘d like to know who‘s at fault We come here to sing, And enjoy everything, And find it as dull as a vault." And Arch Gillies, too, from his leftâ€" centre pew, Said, "I dont see anything wrong, He‘s doing his best, So why not let it rest, Excepting of course that last song Then the programme committee Gc up and confessed That they were entirely to blame.

The Kiwanis Club heartly endorsed the proposal and promised full coâ€"operaâ€" tion. Mcention was also made of a plan for the Timmins Kiwanis Club to endow a cot at the hospital here so that year by year hospital service may be availâ€" able without charge in the case of deâ€" serving and needy children who require such service. The plan is that cases recommended by Dr. Moore may be given the use of the Kiwanis cot as the need arises. gave one of the most informative and interesting addresses enjoyed by the Kiwanis club for some time. His subâ€" ject was "Plumbing," and he not only knew his subject thoroughly but he knew also how to present it in interâ€" esting way. The history of sanitary engineering he said, is as old as the history of man, and sanitary engineerâ€" ing has been proven to be the greatest single factor in the conserving of life and health. Probably ancient man figâ€" ured how to get water from lakes up in the mountains and bring it down to where he could use it to advantage. This was possibly done by the digging | of a ditch or tunnel and from this primitive plan developed the plumbing idea. Plumberius was the first Roman to win fame in the science of plumbâ€" ing and from his name came the name of the profession. The Romans were great bathers and cleanliness was their middle name, said ‘Mr. Smith. The "dark ages" were disastrous days for the world. There were a thousand years with practically no sanitation. Even the church frowned on the use of water, said Mr. Smith, adding that. perhaps there was fear that water might oosen morals as well as dirt. One bright spot was in 1399 A.D., wheni Henry IV instituted the military order, "Knights of the Bath." Mr. Smith commented:â€"In days of old, when knights were bold, these fellows had to prove their boldness by taking a good bath. At the end of the 18th century. mass production developed in Europe and enabled plumbing to make great progress. An interesting fact called to attention by Mr. Smith was that it is only ninety years ago since the first bath was installed in the United States. A man from America visited Lord John Russell in England and brought back the bath idea. Even at that time the bath was banned as dangerous. Doctors warned the public that rheumatism and inflammation of lungs would become prevalent if the bath habit were restorâ€" ed. "What would be the condition toâ€" day," asked Mr. Smith, ‘"if there were no sanitary arrangements in our public buildings, such as the skyâ€"scrapers, hotels, hospitals? Did you ever stop to think, when you use these convenâ€" iences, how much time and thought had been put into them to make them possible? When you enter a modern hotel room, turn a tap afnd hot water immediately comes, do you ever try to figure how it is done?" Mr. Smith referred to the modern hotels of 1,000 rooms and 1,000 baths, showing the wonderful development of modern saniâ€" tary engineering. Reference was also made in very interesting way to the small cost toâ€"day of plumbing. A bath room costs less than a suite of overâ€" stuffed »furniture. The cost of one bath was less than that of a balloon tire. Plumbing toâ€"day, Mr. Smith said in concluding, was a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The speaker of the day, Reg. Smith,l Members of the club will be deâ€" lighted to know that Mr. Smith has promised to give another talk, on heatâ€" ing and ventilation at a luncheon at a later date. Picked Pansies in Town Garden on March i0th Mrs. A. Allan, 40 fourth avenue pickâ€" ed a bouquet of pansies in the garden at her residence on Monday of this week, March 10th. This is an unusual nature note for the North Land, and is not likely to have many duplicates. Some of the pansies were brought to The Advance office where they lasted for a day or two and then wilted away as if they knew they were scarcely expected in this country to bloom long at this time of year. The pansies were small but perfectly formed. There were also some buds on the way to flowering but the change in weather stopped any further pansies for this week. Bids are being asked at Cobalt on 44 occupied lots and 17 vacant lots, situated on the property of the Nipisâ€" sing Mine, and most of which are beâ€" ing put up for sale for arrears of taxes, In the case of the former, houses, staâ€" bles, stores and other buildings are involved, and the list includes Zion Synagogue, which owes on ground rentals and the Knights of Columbus hall.

Prospectors and Claim Owners at Regular Meeting Tuesday Night Discuss Several Matter of Importance. PROTEST WITHORAWAL OF AREA FROM PROSPEC NNE There was only a comparatively small attendance at the regular monthly meeting ~of the Northern ~Prospectors‘ and Claim Owners Association in the town hall on Tuesday evening, but there were some interesting and helpâ€" ful discussions on some questions of vital importance to prospectors and claim owners. Ralph Dipaolo the presiâ€" dent, was in the chair, and there were many questions considered and disâ€" cussed. It was decided to urge the railways and the governments to assist in the development of the country by allowâ€" ing reduced railway fares for prospecâ€" tors and reduced freight rates on supâ€" plies and equipment for prospectors. Reference was made to the proposal to withdraw another large area in this North Land from prospecting and after a discussion of the question the meetâ€" ing decided to send a protest to the Minister of Mines in the matter. It was felt strongly by those present that in the matter of the withdrawal of areas from prospecting the interests of the prospector and claim owner did not receive the fullest consideration, and that this was not in the interests of the development of the country. The association also decided that a special effort should be made to inâ€" crease the membership of the associaâ€" tion. It was pointed out that the larger the membership the more completely would it represent the prospectors and claim owners and the more influence the association would have and the more it would be able to do. Unless the prospectors and claim owners supâ€" port the association by membership, interest and attendance at meetings, the organization might as well quit. A call is accordingly made to all prosâ€" pectors and claim owners to join the association and assist to make it of special value to the prospectors and claim owners and to the country at la.rge If all prospectors and claim owners will take an interest in the organization its influence may become very effective indeed. SPECTAL EVENT TO WELCO NEW ARRIVALS TO TJ An event of unusual kind took place on Tuesday evening of this week in the Oddfellows‘ hall. It took the form of a supper and dance and was as a welâ€" come to Timmins. The event was givâ€" en jointly by Mr. and Mrs. E. Cowan and W. France in honour of the arrivâ€" al in Timmins of their parents and reâ€" latives, Mr. and Mrs. I. Hooks and Mr. and Mrs. E. Hooks, of Newcastle, Engâ€" land, and Mr. and Mrs. P. Slater, of Toronto. A very nice supper was servâ€" ed, the tables being attractively arâ€" ranged. About sixty guests were presâ€" ent, and the evening throughout was a delightful one. Mr. I. Hooks said he was very pleased to have received so hearty and kindly a welcome in a strange country and hoped to made many friends in the district. Mr. A. Wilford made suitable reply. ‘Dancâ€" ing followed, the music being ‘providâ€" TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 13th, 1930 There are no town cases of smallpox, nor are there likely to be. the general vaccination a couple of years ago giving a considerable protection to the town in general. The reports that there are two cases of smallpox here no doubt arise from the fact that one man is in quarantine and another man was in police court for breach of quarantine. The one case of smallpox was that of a man from one of the lumber camps w came to town and was promptly zztb in quarantine. The lumber camp as also quarantined and a man from the camp who broke the quarantine was picked up and at police court this week was fined $100.00 and costs or 3 months. No Town Smallpox Cases Despite False Reports Cut Throat With Knife While in Poor Health On Thursday of this week Eloe Clerâ€" mont, who had been. living just outâ€" side of town, north of Floral Park, took his own life by cutting his throat with a knife. The git:;x_'tu@te man who had been in poor Health for some time and who became despondent as a conâ€" sequence, went upstairs to his room on Thursday and lying down on the bed apparently gashed his throat with a knife. His sister having occasion to go upstairs found the unfortunate man with blood pouring from the wound. He was leaning over so that the blood would run into a pail which he had placed near the bed. Before she could secure help the ‘brother had passed away. The late Eloe Clermont was 48 years of age and a single man. He lived for some time in Detroit, but had been a resident of Timmins for a numâ€" ber of years having several relatives here. All who knew him speak highly of his character and disposition. Reâ€" cently he had been ill and his death was evidently due to the results of despondency arising from his illâ€"health. The funeral took place on Monday and was largely attended by friends and acquaintances. J. W. Wallace Transferred to Branch at Hamilton J. W. Wallace, manager of the Timâ€" mins branch of the Bank of Montreal since October, 1923, has been notified of his transfer to the position of manâ€" ager of the Westinghouse Avenue branch of the bank in Hamilton. As the transfer is in the nature of a wellâ€". deserved promotion there will be genâ€" eral pleasure here at Mr. Wallace‘s good fortune in this regard, but there will be very general regret here otherâ€" wise at this transfer which means the loss to the town of a good citizen who has been very popular here. During their residence of over six years in Timmins Mr. and Mrs. Wallace have made wide circles of friends here and there will be very general regret at their removal from town. They will be followed by the sincere good wishes of all who know them. In his official sition and as a citizen of the town /Mr. Wallace has given the people the best of service and has won friends by his invariable geniality and kindness. He will leave likely on Sunday for Hamilton to take over his new duties. Mr. White, of Napanee, is expected here this week to take over the duties of manager of the Timmins branch of the Bank of Montreal. Mr. Wallace was the second manager of the branch here, coming to Timmins in Octcber, 1923. The branch was opened here in July, 1922, by Mr. Mitâ€" chell, as manager. ed by W. A. Devine and P. Boyd. One and all hbhad a very enjoyable and pleasant time and expressed the that the guests of the evening would find this country to be all that it is hobed to be. attending the big© convention of the Gypsum Co. there. PROSPEGTORS‘ GLASSES PROVING VERY HELPF Classes Being Conducted in the Oddâ€" fellows‘ Hall, with Evening Lectures in the Central Public School. There are about fifteen prospectors and others attending the classes for prospectors being conducted in the Oddfellows‘ hall, Timmins, under the auspices of the Ontario Department of Mines. While the attendance is not as large, perhaps, @s in some previous years, there is great interest being shown and those attending feel they are getting something well worth while in the way of assistance and instrucâ€" tion in prospecting work. The classes are being directed by Dr. E. M. Burwash who is experienced and competent and well fitted for the task undertaken. Several oldâ€"time prospectors are taking in some of the classes and are agreed upon their notable value. The study of ore samples is considered as of parâ€" ticular value. The classes commenced on Monday of this week and will conâ€" tinue for ten days from that date. The tuition is elementary chemistry and geology, with particular attention being given to mineral spotting. Those atâ€" tending the classes say that they find Dr. Burwash especially helpful and the classes as of particular value. In adâ€" dition to the classes, there are several evening lectures being given in the Cenâ€" tral public school. These evening lecâ€" tures are on subjects of particular inâ€" terest and value to prospectors and claim owners. The lectures are illusâ€" trated by lantern slides that add much to their effectiveness. Both the classes and the lectures are free of charge. BAND GONGERT TO BE HELD IN GOLBFIELDS THEATRE Unusually Attractive and Varied Proâ€" gramme for "Irish Night," March l16th, After the Church Services Sunday Evening. services on Sur(iay evenink, March 16th, will be held in the Goldfields theatre instead of the New Empire as usual for the past few months. The New Empire theatre is being dismantled prior to being torn down for the erectâ€" ing of a fine new talkie picture house on the site. The event in the Goldfields theatre on Sunday evening will be "Irish Night," and Bandsman P. Cherry, the popular Irishman of the Timmins Citiâ€" zens‘ Band, has arranged a programme that should prove of very special interâ€" est. All the numbers are true Irish in effect, though some artists of other nationalities are assisting. For Irish folks the selections will have particular appeal, while to those who enjoy good music the programme will be equally pleasing as the typically Irish airs and melodies are fascinating to all. The selections by the Timmins Citiâ€" zens‘ Band will include selections such as:â€"*"Recollections of Ireland," "Eileen Alannah," "Wearing of the Green," "gy. ‘Patrick‘s." "Garry Owen," and "Killarney," with band accompantâ€" ment. There is a long list of wellâ€"known and talented artists to provide vocal and instrumental music of Irish charm. The programme will include:â€"vocal quartette, by Messrs Geils, Thompson, Kincaid and Spragge; auto harp selecâ€" tions by Angus MacDonald; vocal solos, by Mrs. G. Jenkin; instrumental selecâ€" tions, by Birrell Bell‘s troupe; vocal selection, by Jack Weir; drum and fife novelty by P. Cherry and his company of musicians; vocal solo, by Mrs. R. Stroud; vocal solo, by T. Huntley; soprano cornet solo, by Bandsman P. Cherry; vocal solos, by Messrs Geils, Kincaid, Thompson and Slattery. MASQUERADE DANCE UNDER AUSPICES OF THE LEGION The St. Patrick‘s Night masquerade dance to be held on Monday, March 17th, in the MciIntyre hall, Schumacher, under the auspices of the Canadian Legion, promises to be an event of unâ€" usual interest. Arrangements have been made so that all attending will have a pleasant evening. Tommy Steâ€" phens‘ orchestra will provide the best in dance music, a@all the latest dance hits being featured. The Ladies‘ Auxâ€". iliary will do the catering and this needs no comment, as they have an unsurpassed reputation in this respect. The prizes are of a variety seldom seen in connection with an event of this kind. It has been the policy of the Legion to support local tradesmen in the purchase of goods, and the prizes for® this event have ‘therefore been secured in this manner. Prizes will be awarded as announced in the adverâ€" tisement to be found on another page of this issue of The Advance. The proceeds from the event are to be placâ€" ed in the funds of the Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion to augment their work among the returned soldiers.

Atâ€" tention of Council Called to Dangers of Motor Traffic and Speeding by Cars. Dealers Ask for Right to Sell Fireworks This Year. Other Matters Before Town Council on Monday. The regular meeting of the town council was held on Monday afternoon with Mayor Geo. S. Drew in the chair, and Councillors Dr. Honey, R. Richardâ€" son, Al‘red Caron, J. T. Chenier and C. P. Ramsay. There were three matters that came j in for special attention. One was the matter of the sale of firecrackers in Timmins. Two of the dealers, Messrs J. T. HMHeffernan and F. M. Burke, apâ€" peared before council and asked for a reconsideration of the decision of counâ€" cil not to allow the sale of fireworks in Timmins this year. Mr. Heffernan pointed out that the decision did not seem fair to the local dealers. Fireâ€" works would still be purchased; but the. money would go out of town. In addiâ€" tion the dealers would be left with stocks from previous years on their hands. Toronto, Hamilton, Sudbury, North Bay and other cities permitted the sale of fireworks. The mayor exâ€" plained that the action of the council was due to the abuses in past years, firecrackers being thrown at people on street, thrown in cars and otherwise | causing ‘nuisance and danger. He| sympathized with the dealers who had’ stocks on hand, but did not see wha.t| could be done to protect the publicI from . annoyance and danger. Mr. Burke suggested that if the town would advertise the fact that it was against the law to set off fireworks on the streets the trouble might be avoided. The dealers could also impress this on | those purchasing fireworks. In reply it was pointed out that this had been asked last year, and the nuisance had | been really worse than in previous years. There were innumerable com-l plaints from the public and while it | was desired to help the dealers, the | public had to be considered. Last year it was so bad on street that women | were afraid to go on street at times., Mr. Heffernan pointed out that many , of those purchasing fireworks did so to take home, and it seemed hard to deâ€" prive them â€"of the privilegee or have them order by mail. Mayor Drew said the whole trouble was the annoyance and danger in past years through the improper use of the firecrackers on street.â€" If some way could be found to avoid the abuses complained of it would be all right to allow the sale. The matter was left over to next council meeting when a definite decision will be announced. Mrs. D. Chisholm called the attenâ€" tion of the council to the serious danâ€" ger from motor traffic in town. Wild driving of cars, speeding, short turns at corners and other improper practices constituted a danger to the public.| Mrs. Chisholm thought a silent policeâ€" man at such corners as Maple and Third would help some. There was a lot of speeding on Maple street with tconsequent danger. ‘"We never see a policeman down there, so a dummy policeman at the cormer might help stop some of the breaking of the rules," she said. "I can‘t understand why the cars want to go so fast," she added, "for they can go from one end of the town to the other in a few minutes without speeding." ‘"Mrs. Chisholm emphasized the fact that the danger to the public was a very real one and something should be done to stop the speeding and reckless driving. Mayor Drew thought it would be well for the police commitâ€" tee to bear the suggestions in mind, especially in regard to the installing of further silent police. Without the silent police, the sharp turnings at corners could not be stopped. The third ‘"nuisance" to be referred to was that embodied in the complaints recently made to the mayor in regard to the annoyance caused by gramoâ€" Diamond Drilling at the Porcupine United Diamond drilling is in progress at the Porcupine United property, the work being done on the lake. The results from the present drill holes will deâ€" termine the extent of further drilling operations, but there is a general opinâ€" ion among those who have been watchâ€" ing the property that an extensive diaâ€" mond drilling campaign will be carried out in the next few months to prove up the property. "All is going along all right at the Porcupine United," was about all that Manager D. Tolman would say about the progress of work on the property, but the general opinâ€" ion is that the work being done is meeting with very satisfactury and enâ€" couraging results. Last year the New Liskeard Fair was held in two sectionsâ€"summer and fall dates being used. In order to ascerâ€" tain the feelings of the members a questionnaire was sent out, the result being that the great majority were in favour of reverting to the old method. In compliance with the deâ€" cision of the members the directors deâ€" cided to have but one fair this year and set the dates for September 4th, PAID CIRCULATION LAST WEEK 2837 2 Sections â€" 16 Pages phones with loud speakers going all the time. There had been talk of a petition from residents and business men along Pine street in reference to this. Chief McLauchlan was asked if something could not be done to remedy any annoyance along this line, and reâ€" plied that he had asked the dealers concerned to tone down the loud speakâ€" ers, but apparently this had not been done consistently. In case there was a petition, or any particular tenants laid complaint, the matter could be dealt with under the head of a "public nuisâ€" ance." i Jos. Goulet applied to council for the appointment of poundkeeper. He had premises particularly suited for the work, and had been keeping impoundâ€" ed cows and horses for some months past. There was no money in this, however, and unless he was appointed also as poundkeeper for dogs he would have to stop taking in the horses and cows. Councillors Chenier and Caron pointed out that Mr. Goulet‘s premises were particularly wellâ€" adapted for the use as pound, being large and fenced, with proper stable accommodation. It was also best, they thought, to have all the work of the pound at the one place. The matter was left over to next meeting of council. A letter was read on behalf of a widow who had some $125.00 taxes in arrears and asked to be allowed to apply $15.00 a month rent from a house on these arears. It was explained that the property in question was not inâ€" cluded in the tax sale, but an adjoiningy lot was, and as this brought the widow no revenue and was simply a burden to her by piling up tax arrears, it seemâ€" ‘ed best for her sake to leave it in the tax sale. A letter from W. Shewan asked that the property recently purchased at 165 Pine street north be hereafter rated for public school taxes instead of for separate school as heretofore. A man with twelve children, four of them married, asked by letter for the privilege of selling chip potatoes from a wagon on street. The matter of the purchase Of the police uniforms needed was left in the hands of the police committee with power to act. A refund of income tax was authorizâ€" ed in the case of a man living in Schuâ€" macher who was assessed in Timmins by error. Chief McLauchlan brought up the matter of the danger of children and others riding on the handleâ€"bars of bicycles. A byâ€"law to make this an offence will be passed by council. The chief also pointed out that it would be necessary to enforce the law more strictly in regard to bicycles without lights or reflectors, as some had become careless in this matter. Accounts were duly passed, and a number of rebates authorized on water rates where the water had not been Jas. Cowan, secretary 0o the Timâ€" mins Amateur Athletic Association askâ€" ed council in regard to a license for the Harry Lottridge Shows to come here under the auspices of the T.A.A.A. The latter received a percentage of the receipts, the money going to keeping up the athletic grounds and to the support of the various sports in town. The dates would be June 23rd to 28th ana July 2ist to 26th. The council could see no reason for not granting a license but the license fee is to be decided latâ€" er. Councillor Caron referred to the matâ€" ter of possible shortages in weight of coal or measurement of wood. To many people this was a serious matâ€" ter, and all were entitled to full weight and full measure. He thought the police might check up occasionally on weights and measures, and that the customer might have town weights or measures given when desired without any fee being charged. The question was left over to next meeting. Mayor Drew called attention to the need for each chairman of the â€"comâ€" mittees having estimates for the year for his department in this week. These estimates had to be in before the rate for the year could be estimated, and it was desirable to strike the rate as soon as possible. If the estimates were ready this week a special meeting could be called to consider them, say, next Monday.
