Right Royal Reception at Timmins for Premier Ferguson on Tuesday Evening. Largest Gathering of its Kind Ever Held in This Part of North. Premier Gave Able and Inspiring Address on the Policial Issues of the Day, Other Speakers Includgdâ€"â€"!)'aye‘Chgnier, Conservative < A P P VW Over Three Thousand Gathers to Greet Premier Ferguson Dave Chenier, Conservative candiâ€" fate for this riding in the present Doâ€" minion rlection, spoke briefly but to the point, in both English and French. He gave his reasons, as a man of the North, for enthusiastic support of the Bennstt policies, ‘"That fiveâ€"cen: speech of Premier King‘s is enough to warrant every honest man voting against the King administration‘,‘ he said. Ho urged the construction of the Transâ€"Canada highway for the good of the country and to relieve unemployâ€" ment. "Give work to Canadians" was his moito, he said, in scoring the imâ€" migration policy of the Liberals, HKe emphatically denied the rumour being spreaid that the Bennett Government would place an embargo on pulpwood. There was no such thought, he said. As Premier Ferguson rose to begin his address he was greeted with round after round of apoilause. The band played, "For He‘s a Joly Good Fellow," and little Miss Phyllis McCoy presen:;â€" ed the premier with a beautiful bouâ€" quet of flowers, Hon. Mr. Ferguson wWontinued on Page Five of this Secâ€" tion) A. F. Kenning, M.L.A., referred to at~ tacks made upon him personally by speakers on the opposition platform in this etection, but said he was not going to reply in kind, but would confine himself to discussing Dominion politics. "I think we gave them all the discusâ€" sion of provincial politics they desired at the proper time," he said. He quotâ€" ed figures from the public accounts to show how untrue was the suggestion that this part of the North Land was not recciving attention, and he conâ€" trasted the interest of the Ferguson Governmen in the seitlers and otheors in this North with that of the King Government as evidenced, for instance, two years ago by the King Government in refusing any sort of aid to the hardâ€" pressed settlers of the North. Dr. T. A. Saguin, cf Warren, Ont., made an eloquent and impressive adâ€" in French,‘reéferring to the ineffiâ€" giency of the King administration. It was hish time for a change in the interests of the country and he urged all to vote for Dave Chenier, and Hon. R. B. Bennett‘s poliey of a fair chance for Canada. Dr. Seguin‘s reference to the premier as the "Iron Man of Onâ€" tario" evoked great applause. The visit of Hon. G. Howard Perguâ€" son, premier of Ontarin, to Timmins on Tuesday of this week was made the occasion for a demonstration of esteenm: and ‘papularity such as is accorded to few public men, especially during the heat of an election, and when the whole event was a spontangous popular tribute and not an arranged affair. AKlthough the syecial train carrying the premier here was delayed in arrivâ€" ‘ing here there were hundreds of psople | at the station to greet its arrival. The "Timmins Citizens‘ Band provided the best of music at the station whitle tne arrival of the train was awaited. The premier‘s party, which included Dave Chenier, Conservative candidate, A. F. Kenning, ML.A., Chairman Gen. Lee, of the T. N. O. Commission, and others, was greeted at the station | by members of the town council, leadâ€" ing members of the Conservative party ; here, and citizens of the town. Ths premier was given a rousing round of | cheers as he stepped from the train and shook hands with those near him. ‘The cars conveying the premier and others formed a procession headed by | the Timmins Citizens‘ Band and ceeded to the skatimg rink where the premier was the chief speaker at a} remarkably fine mzeting in the interâ€" ests of Dave Chrenier, Conservative candidate for this riding in the present Dominion election. dsn m m e mm on n on . o un <anmmme mmz on« (Gordon H. Gauthier, presidient of the RMistrict Conservative Association, ‘was chairman for the evening, and ‘briefly but effectively introduced tihe various speakers. The first speaker, L. Robiâ€" taille, addressed the large audience briefly but ably, in both English and French, sccoring the King Government for its actions and inactions that had resulted in trade depression, unemâ€" ployment and discontent. The meeting at the rink was attendâ€" ed by well over 3000 people, the largest gathering of its kind ever in this part of the North. Rounds of â€" applaus: greeted the premier and the candidate as they entered the hall and took their places on the platform, the band playâ€" ingâ€"apripropriate selections at this time. The hall was well fitted up for the ocâ€" casion, about three ‘hundred chairs being in use and seventyâ€"five benches. The seats along the sides and <end of the rink and the boxes were also oCcâ€" cupied. Even this accommodation was insufficient, a large number having to stand up. The platform was wéll fitâ€" ted up, flags and bunting adding to its good appearance. The arrangements for the fitting up of the ‘hall were .carâ€" ried through by A. Laprairie with his usual genius in this line. Candidate:; A. F. Kenning, M.L.A.; Dr. T. A. Seguin, of Warren, Ont.; and L. Robitaille, Montreal. T. N. 0.

At a number of the busier intersections in the main part of the town two silent policemen are being used, one at each side of the street, instead of one in the centre. Th2a silent police are now placed at the edge of the safety and in the centre of the cross street, motorists turning round these instead of around che in the centre. Many motorists a’;ink the new plan is an improvement 241 will work even better as the peoâ€" ple in gengral get accustomed to the rsper working of the pian. Others do not agres with this and say that the change has led to confusion and does not make for increased safety for pedestrians. The police committee and the council generally say that the new plans are simply being tried out with a view of adopiing the most effective way for facilitating traffic. If the new plans are found impractical they will be discarded. The motorists and the public generally are asked to assist in determining the best plan for permanâ€" ent use for the facilitating of traffic and the safety of the public.

Premier Ferguson Tells Deputation of Mountjioy Settiers That Petition Recently Sent in is Receiving Study and Consideration. A number of the settlers of joy township asked for an interview F. M. Wallingford pointed out that while large sums of money had been spent for roads in the North Land, the township of Mountjoy did not appear to have received its share. The townâ€" ship was 17 years old and yet did not have a road in firstâ€"class condition and there were many roads that needed to be built to give the settlers a fair chance and allow them to get to and from their farms. The settlers did not know how much monsy had: beenâ€" apâ€" propriated in the past for roads in Mountjoy, but they did know that they did not have roads. There was not a single road in the township! that was properly ditched to effectively Grain the road. The settlers had confidence in the Hon. Mr. Ferguson and his govâ€" ernment, but they were not satisfied and they asked for Hon. Mr. Ferguson‘s personal interest and attention to their needs and difficulties. Jas. Paul adaâ€" ed his own personal experience of strugglingâ€"for many years to establish a farm under the handicap of lack of a road and having to pack his supplies in and his produce out. Mr. and Mrs. T. M. White and baby m son spent the weekâ€"end at Timmins, Prof. Sharpe and Mrs. Sharps, oi motoring up from Kirkland Lake to‘ New Liskeard, are visiting at the home visit Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Macdonald. of their daughter, Mrs. W. Ringsleben. Premier® PFerguson said that the largelyâ€"signed petition had been duly received and was being given very careâ€" ful consideration by the Government. The bonus plan as it was working out in Quebec was being investigated. Hon. Mr. Ferguson referred to his long acquaintance with this district and his n‘terest and faith in the country. He was not preriired to say what would be done in the matter but he assured the delegation that the matter was receivâ€" ing his personal atten‘iion and conâ€" sideration. Doris Patriquin Ranked Highest at Timmins Centre; Sam Finkelman Highest at Schumacher Centre. Timmins had 163 Candidates and Schumacher Centre 35. â€" Report for Other Centres in ‘Inspectorate Unavoidably Delayed. There was no special speaker at the regular weekly luncheon of the K:â€" wanis Club on Monday but a very inâ€" teresting session was spent, the chief topic of discussion being the Kiwanis carnival held in the rink last week. Despite the weather, the many counâ€" ter attractions, the number of events held here receently and general condiâ€" tions, the carnival proved a success. As an entertainment feature it was cutsitanding in its merit, while it also netted a good sum for the prirpose for which it was held. This purpose was to furnish a room in the St. Mary‘s pmnblic hospital, Timmins, for the use of underprivileged children who may need hospital care. The amount netâ€" ted from the carnival is sufficient to defray the cost of furnishing and the room as planned. The club @ai its meeting Monday decided to ask â€"a committee of ladies to confér with the Sister Superior at the hospital with a view to the immediate furnishâ€" ing of the room by the Kiwanis. This ommittese of ladies comprises the wife of the president (Mrs. Karl Eyre) and the wives of the past presidents of the club (Mrs. R. Dye, Mrs. Honey, Mrs. Keddie, Mrs. Rinn). With this co#iâ€" mittee in charge it may be taken for granted that the Kiwanis room at the hospital will be wellâ€"furnished and equipped. Through the enterprise and interest of the Kiwanis Club in furâ€" nishing this room at the hospital there will be available accommodation for underprivileged children in case of illness and accident. The club passed resolutions of thanks to the Hollinger for the use of lumber in connection with the carnival event, to the Timmins Citizens‘ Band for proâ€" viding music to attract people to the rink for the carnival, and to all others assisting in making the event a success, including the general public for patronâ€" age and support. Cornish Beat S8.0.E. 1â€"0 In Listless Football Reference was also made at the meeting to the golf match this week the Kiwanis and Hollinger golfers again to try conclusions on Wednesday of this week at 5 pm., the losers to pay for the supper at the goif club house. as KIWANIS TO FURNISH ROOM AT THE TIMMINS HOSPITA On Tuesday of this week in the last game of the first half of the district league schedule the Cornish football team won out from the Sons of Engâ€" land by a score of 1 to 0. The game was the poorest exhibition of soccer seen on the grounds this year, the players all bunching together too much and not showing any pep or speed. Cornish, no doubt, resting up some of their regular players, fielded a weak eleven, and the S.0.E. had several changes from their regular. lineâ€"up. The most exoiti}}g play was when Rowe saved a stinging shot from Meredith. Trevor Johnson tried hard to score for theâ€"S.0.E. but did not get anyâ€" support from his forwards. The game was a listless one, and the only goal scored was by Manue!l, of the Cornish, who ut a very fast drive past Burt, in goal for the S.0.E. A. Cadman refereed.
