In Timmins and district it was chiefly noticeable for flashes of rain. The most serious damage reported includâ€" ed a brief interruption to the power and light service at North Bay and a small loss to the Bell Telephone Co. in damage to a rural line near Sturâ€" geon Falls The storm extended all over the eastern part of the North parâ€" ticularty, though no damage is reportâ€" ed north of Temagami.

Next Thursday and Friday, Oct. 9in and 10th, the annual convention of the school teachers of the District of Cochâ€" rane will be held at Co:thrane. About 150 teachers will be present for the event, and an attractive programme is being arranged for the occasion. One of the features of the programme will be a trip for the teachers to Abitibi Canyon, where the big new power deâ€" velopment is under way. Both days of the convention will be holidays at the schools throughout the district. LANCASHIRE RETURNING TO CHEAPER GRADES OF COTTON ("Peter Simple" in the Morning Post) The Lancashire cotton trade in the heyaay of its prosperity supplied the world. Then came the development of the industry in India, and later in Japan. They concentrated on making the cheapest cloth in use among the teeming millions in the east. Lancaâ€" shire was not unduly concerned. . She devoted her attention more and more in the Sner seunrts. and for a time all us es to the finer egunts, and for went well. Her eastert competitors in their onward march, parti¢ularly in the postwar years, while retaining the lowerâ€"grade trade, aspiired to a share in the higher class materials, Hence largely the present plight cf the inâ€" dustry in this country. Now Lancéâ€" shire is going back to the beginning, and is about to market the cheapest cotton goods at prices lower than those of Japan, OTTAWA DOCTOR FLIES TO ASSISTANCE OF INDIANS On another errand of mercy, Dr. c. Wall, wellâ€"known Ottawa physician who has seen considerable experience in the field, was rushed from Ottawa by airplane on Saturday into the Inâ€" dian settlements of interior Quebec to bring succor to of natives reâ€" ported to be suffering from serious fiu epidemic. Government reports on which Dr. Wall was despatched to the rescue, deâ€" clared two Indians have already died, four others are in an extremely critiâ€" cal condition, and tribes over a wide area of the North Land have been stricken by the epidemic. Arrangements for the "mercy fiight" were completed on Friday evening, and the expedition placed in charge of Flightâ€"Lieutenant J. E. Jellison, Royal Canadian Air Force, who took Sergeant Green, RCAF., as his assistant and mechanic in the Bellanca machine asâ€" signed to the work. Port Arthur News Chronicle:â€"A new home marketing campaign, about to be inaugurated by the Department of Agâ€" riculture, will, it is stated, include an effort to promote the blueberry indus-’ try. Any innovations relating to the | blueberry industry would be of interest to Thunder Bay. The berries abound . in this part of the province and, as in | many cases, comparison with the proâ€"| duct of the more Southern districts is | all to the advantage of this district. l The Thunder Bay berries are bigger and of better quality than those of the j Parry Sound and other districts. All was in readiness for the long hop on Saturday morning, and at 9 o‘clock that day the seaplane took off from the Ottawa river opposite the Governâ€" ment airport at Rockcliffe, with the Lake St. John district as its immediate destination. In adgdition to the regular emergency kit carried on such expeditions, the fiight took supplies for the Indians and The return of the fiying party to Ottawa is looked for late this week. The report which prompted the Govâ€" ernment to send help into thkis area came from an official of the Hudson Bay Company who returned to Monâ€" treal late last week after a trip into the interior of the Lake St. John district. This officer telegraphed the Departâ€" ment of Indian Affairs that there were four sick in one tent at one iIndian settlement he visited, and cases were widespiread. vlarge store of medical equipment including a quantity of vaccine. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Mrs. A. J. Shragge left on Bunday on ughter, l a buying trip to Ottawa and other ‘ sister, eastern points. Mrs. W. R. Lowery, of Haileybury was a visitor to town this week. Mrs. P. Smith, of Englehart, was a visitor to Timmins last week. _ The Advance has received another letter urging that the old age pension allowance be raised to $25.00 or $30.00 per month. The Advance has repeatâ€" edly urged that the allowance be in creased and hopes that the new Govâ€" ernment at Ottawa will see that this is done. The letter received has nothing new in it, except the senseless Iconclusion that unless people who wear lwhite collars and cuffs grant an inâ€" ‘crease there will be a war in Timmins. As there are practically no peorle in Timmins wearing white collar} and cuffs these days, the letter is not pubâ€" lished. At the same time, despite the lt.hrea,t:, The Advance still believes and urges that the old age pension should ) be increased. Leo. Banning, who has been at Niaâ€" gara Falls, Ont., for the past three years, is home visiting his parents in All will regret to learn that Murray Stewart is ill at Renfrew hospital. He underwent an operation there for apâ€" pendicitis recently, and all will wish him a spsedy recovery. Bornâ€"At St. Mary‘s hospital, on Friday, September 26, 1930, to Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Blowâ€"a@ son. Diedâ€"On Saturday 27, 1930, Albert Lee, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Blow. There was giant squash at the Porcupine Fair that was said to weigh 72 pounds, which puts in the shade the otherwise big Hubbard squash grown near Shillington this year and weighing thirteen pounds. Isaac Selto, a Finnish miner at Creighton, was found about a mile from that town on Thursday last by a farmer who heard the noise of a blast and went to investigate. The former found Selto, with his head blown comâ€" pletely off, and bits of fuse lying nearâ€" by. It is believed that he committed suicide through the use of explosives. The deceased was about 40 years of age and unmarried and had been in Canada about 15 years. No reason for the suicide is given, except that he had been drinking heavily and also may have been worrying over the recent death of his sister. CREIGHTON MINER USES EXPLOSIVES FOR SUICIDE PREFERENCE FOR BUSH WORK GIVEN TO CANADIANS NOWV In the various centres of the Norm’ this year it would seem that with the exception of one or two firms, preferâ€" ence in being given to native Canaâ€" dians in the matter of employment for bush work. At Timmins there seems to be more than the usual tendency to show preference for Canadians for the coming year‘s bush work, other things being equal. The same story comes from Sudbury. The Government Emâ€" ployment Bureau at Sudbury is quoted as saying that practically all bushmen being taken on in the lumber camps of the North this winter are native Canâ€" adians. Further, it is said that bush operations this season will be greatly curtailed, and for the first time m years operators are able to pick and Echoose their men. Almost all orders for bushmen received by the employâ€". lment agencies specify Canadians. ‘Lumber companies are not actuated in 'thls policy of employing only Canaâ€" dians by sentimental reasons, but D» purely hardâ€"headed business considerâ€" |at10m The nativeâ€"born Canadian, \ English, or Frenchâ€"speaking, is by far rth° best bushman in the world, but ‘the supply is limited and operators in ,the past have been forced to accept foreign labour. Few, except Canadians make good sawers or teamsters, and while the foreigner is a good "plugâ€" ger‘ in unskilled work he lacks the native‘s initiative and speed. Camps near Sudbury have begun to open and last week the demand for skilled bushâ€" men has exceeded the supply, and 24 French Canadians were sent here from Hull, Que. Second choice by the lumâ€" ber companies are Finnish, Norwegian or Danish bush workers. Conditions in their own countries are very similar to conditions here and they rapidly acâ€" !custom themselves to Canadian meâ€" thods. Russians and other Slavic |peoples, it is said, are not so desirable, though Canadians of Russian descent | are quite on a par with other Canadian | buschmen. 1 l clothes as a gift." ing some valuable personal papers. As the thief took only a very small porâ€" tion of what he might have taken, Mr. Harvie is inclined to believe that his uninvited guest was not a genuine thug, but a downâ€"andâ€"out seeking some reâ€" spectable clothing so that he might be able to get work. "If he returns the papers which he will find in the pocket of the club bag," says Mr. Harvie, "I am perfectly willing to let him keep the Barrie Examiner:â€"*"Keep the suit but bring back my papers," wails James G.

Avoids Disâ€" turbing Upholstery or Top. _ New and Improved Radio Receiver by Bosch Magneto Corâ€" poration. The new motor car radio receiver reâ€" cently announced by the American Bosch Magneto Corporation, builders of precision automotive electrical inâ€" struments for a long period of years, is unique in that it can be quickly inâ€" stalled on any maotor car without the least mutilation or damage to the car to lower its resale value at some future date. A special capacitor plate which is susprnded to the frame of the car parallel to the running board face to the ground, eliminates the need for a rrâ€"»f antenna and provides greater senâ€" sitivity. The radio chassis is mounted in rubber cushioned bracket to the rear side of partition, which separates the engine compartment from the car body. It is out of sight and out of the way. Simple Controlâ€"By Ear The simple control unit, no larger than a man‘s hand, attaches to the right side of the instrument panel, and is connected to the chassis by a rigid steel shaft. Single dial tuning enables the driver to tune the set easily by ear, without taking his attention from the road ahead. The second knob reguâ€" lates volume. The dial is plainly markâ€" ed and electrically lighted. Key switch prevents use in the absence of the owner. The receiver utilizes five tubes, four of which are type 224 screen grid tubes and the fifth a type 112Â¥ power tube. Sensitive Speaker A cone type electromagnetic speaker, highly sensitive to low notes as well as the high nates and of ‘particularly pleasing tone quality, can be mounted directly to the receiver chassis or to the ceiling of the car on brackets supâ€" plied for that purpose. The receiver operates from the storage battery of the car and from dry cell "B" batteries carried in a weatherâ€" proof steel container mounted underâ€" neath the car. Bosch Motor Car Radio comes comâ€" plete with receiver, speaker, tubes, "B" batteries and container, and wirâ€" ing materials. CONTRACT AWARDED FOR THE STEEL WORK AT COPPERCLIFEF Advices from Sudbury, Ont., state that the International Nickel Company of Canada has awarded a $500,000 conâ€" tract to the Dominion Bridge Comâ€" pany of Montreal for steel work in conâ€" nection with the new plant of Copperâ€" cliff, Ont. The new structure will house No. 1 refinery unit, which is being transferâ€" red from Port Colborne to Coppercliif. Work on the new plant, which will be built over the site of the old smelter building, has already been commenced and progress made on the foundations. NURSES OF 1929 TO HONOUER GRADUATES OF THIS YEAR The graduates of 1929 of the St. Mary‘s hospital, Timmins, have anâ€" nounced a dance to be held in honour of the nurses graduating this year, the event to be held in the McIntyre hall, Schumacher, on Friday evening of this week, Oct. 3rd. Invitations for the event have been issued and it is a foreâ€" gone conclusion that the occasion will be a very pleasant one. The event is by invitation only and the invitations are marked to be presented at the door. The dance given by the nurses last year was a very enjoyable one and this year‘s event will be equally pleasing. SUGGESTS MUNICIPAL HEAT FOR TOWN OF MOOSE FACTORY The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasâ€" ing, last week says:â€"*"For a few years Winnipeg has engaged in a civic enterâ€" prise which, while not new to tne world, is an unusual adventure for Canadian municipalities. It has built civic heatâ€"units, laid street mains and house connections therefrom, and supâ€" plies heat to private homes. The exâ€" periment has been so successful that large additions are now to be made to the system. The new port of Churchill is going to try something along the same line when the townsite is laid out next spring. Perhaps oursnew port of Moose Harbor will also try it. When climatic conditions are severe, particuâ€" larly in the pioneering stage, central heating would be the solution of many difficulties. Rattleâ€"trap stoves, deâ€" fective chimneys in flimsy houses, unâ€" even heating of premises and upâ€"andâ€" down temperature are both nuisances and hazards in new communitigs. The uncouth appearance of small new setâ€" tlements is considerably accounted for by the heating problem that must be faced somehow. Should it turn out that fuel oil or cheap treated, lignite fuel can be made available in unfailâ€" "In the evening of Sept. 22nd, fifteen members of the Beaver Lodge 801 L.O. BA., Iroquois Falls, motored to Timâ€" mins and conferred the Scarlet Degree on four members of the Gold Star Lmdge 667 LO.B.A., Schumacher, and Kapuskasing Lodges were also rerreâ€" sented. After lodge an excellent supâ€" per was served. The gathering broke up in the small hours of the fnorning." ing supply at Moose Harbor, Ontario‘s new seaport may be able to make a more successful and economical cenâ€" tral heating installation than any other part of the world. This is an interestâ€" ing problem for the townsite experis to tackle." The Ansonville Star last week says:â€" Relay Race at Monteith on Saturday, October 11 There is much interest in the disâ€" trict and through the North Land genâ€" erally in the annual road race to be held this year on Saturday of next week, October lith. This is the anâ€" nual relay race sponsored by The Norâ€" thern News of Kirkland Lake. The holding of the race at Monteith this year should increase the interest inâ€"«the event in this part of the North. The rules of the race have been published by The Advance and any further inâ€" formation may be secured from J. C. Tuck, care of The Northern Newfs, Kirkland Lake, who has kindly conâ€" sented to act as secretary for the event again this year. ALLâ€"BRITAIN SOCIAL CLUB OPENING THIRD SEASON The Allâ€"Britain Social Club open their third season with one of their popular partner whist drives to be held in the Hollinger Recreation hall on Tuesday, Oct. 7th. In keeping with the princifrfles of the club, the prizes will be of exceptional value. It is the hope of the club to make this a night to be remembered by all lovers of whist, so that all are assured of a very enâ€" joyable time. Refreshments will be served during the evening. The event will commence at 8.30 pim. (Toronto Telegram) Lacrosse is too good a game, too Caâ€" nadian in its characteristics, to die. It is doubtful if it will ever attain its old preâ€"eminence in Canadian spprt for it exacts too much from its playâ€" ers. But while lacrosse towns like Westminster, Brampton, St. Catharâ€" ines, Cornwall and Fergus remain on the map the roots of the sport will reâ€" main alive and furnish crops of laâ€" crosse boys who will never be content to satisfy their sporting appetites with any other form of athletic endeavour.

Ask any employee START RIFLE ASSOCIATION WITH FORTYâ€"FIVE MEMBERS Civilian Rifle Association Organized Here. List of Fortyâ€"five Members Makes Auspicious Start for New Organization in Timmins. For some time past the desirability of civilian rifle association in Timâ€" mins has been considered here by many interested. There have been referâ€" ences to the matter in The Advance in the past year or two and many have expressed a desire to see such an inâ€" stitution established here, One o ‘those interested was Chief L. McLauchâ€" lan and last week he took up the matter, securing the necessary forms for the organization. He interested a number of others with the result that the necessary steps are now under way for the establishment in Timmins of one of the Civilian Rifle Association branches that have proved so popular throughout the Dominion. Chief Mcâ€" Lauchlan found great enthusiasm for the idea and the preliminary papers were signed by no less than fortyâ€"five names, many of them prominent busiâ€" ness and professional men and includâ€" ing the mayor of the town and some members of the council. With an iniâ€" tial membership of fortyâ€"five and more anxious to join it would appear that the Timmins Civilian Rifle Association promises to be a popular success. Englehart fall fair this year was noteâ€" worthy for the exhibits of cattle, there being close to a hundred entries in the cattle classes. The rest of the fair was up to the average. The roots and egetables and the hall exhibits on disâ€" play were very good. Toronto Telegramâ€"in Canada, where political parties keep clear of any dealâ€" ings with criminals and where honest courts mete out swift justice, the "racket" has not obtained a real footâ€" hold. But it is spreading so rapidly in the land to the south of us that it may at any time sweep across the border. But Canada knows the cure. Quick justice, backed by long prison terms punctuated with strong doses of the cat, makes the Dominion unfertile soil for gangs and rackets. And that is the kind of welcome Canada provides for gangsters and racketeers who may atâ€" tempt to practise their nefarious callâ€" ing in these Canadian parts.
