Perhaps, the weather was cool and winterâ€"like, or it may be that it was especially fine, thus suggesting the chance of a swift change to winter anytime in this North. The Advance found a notable array of hockey talent in town in 1920. There was confidence that Timmins could win the championâ€" ship of this part of the North at least. For goal, The Advance mentioned Worâ€" ters, Hoggarth and McIntyre; for deâ€" fence, Spring, Loughrin, White and Cox; for forwards, Stewart, McGuire, F. Lefranier, Brennan, McCurry, Parâ€" ker, Campbell, Brown and Simms. Ten years ago meeting of the diâ€" rectors of the Hollingasr Consolidated Gold Mines, Limited, was noted as ocâ€" curring in Timmins, as well as an inâ€" spection of the property here. The T. N. O) had what The Adâ€" vance termed one of its regular wrecks on Thursday, Sept. 23rd, 1920. The Advance at the time suggested that the wrecks were so regular that the railway cught to arrange regular days for holding them, so that the regular freight and passenger service could be carried on during the other days for the convenience of the public. Probâ€" ably the T. N. O. had no greatet projlortion of wrecks than other railâ€" ways those days but it seemed as if they had. At any rate the T. N. O. toâ€"day has fewer wrecks than other railrcads, and it may be that the pubâ€" licity given by the newspapers of the North Land had an effect in achieving this desired result. At the same time it is only fair to note here and now that after Geo. W. Les took direct charge of the T. N. O. everything about the road was better, and toâ€"day those in a position to know admit that the T. N. O. is probably the best conducteac railway on the continent in every way. Ten years ago all railroads seemed to be in bad conditicon asy regards their t:acks ~and rolling stock. This was blamed on the war, as was the case with nearly everything since the war, from the poor quality of the pie to the morals of the young folks. The Adâ€" vance gave a suggested timeâ€"table inâ€" cluding:â€"‘"No. 3 and 4, the National, daily; Nos. 46 and 47, daily; Nos. 60 ana 31, mixed, daily except Sunday; No. 8, mixed, Saturday only; wrecks, freight, Saturday, only; wrecks passenger, no open season on the T. N. O0." ‘The wreck that roused the sarcasm of The Advance was at Kenogami Lake, and like some fires, it was of unknown or:â€" gin. Three cars in the train went off the track and piled all over each other. The pissengers on No. 47, northbouna, got a jolt and a shakingâ€"up, but no one was really hurt. There was a long delay to all traffic, however. The pasâ€" sengers for Timmins were about eight hcours late in reaching here. Those for Iroquois Falls were left at Porquis Junction for about seven hours. The Advance begged the T. N. O. to make beotter provision for handling sucn cases without so much inconvenience and hardship to the travelling public. The T. N. O. since then has done its level best and conditions ncw are genâ€" erally excellent, thank you. The Advance of Sept. 29th, 1920, said:â€""A pretty wedding tock place this morning at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Nagle, when Miss Margaret Murray and Mr. Wallace Stroud wers united in marriage. Rev. J. D. Parks pastor of the Timmins Presbyterian church, officiated at the ceremony. Mrs. Sid McCoy played the wedding march, and Miss Craig Hoggarth sang in her usual pleasing way. Mr. Stroud‘s father was up from Montreal to be present at the event. After the ceremony a@a delightful wedding breakâ€" fast was served by Mrs. Nagle to the party of immediate friends and relaâ€" tives present. The young couple left on the.11.30 train for their wedding tour, after which they will take up reâ€" sidence in Montreal. The best wishes of all in the camp will follow them as they were both highly esteemed ance very popular in many circles. Miss Murray was for some time past on the office staff of the Hollinger Stores. Mr. Stroud was formerly on the staff of the Hollinger Mine and among the most popular of the oldâ€"timers of the Porcupine." Wm. Birdick, cameraman of Filmâ€" craft, and another member of the Filmâ€" craft staff, were in Timmins ten years ago in connection with a tour of the North Land where they were making pictures for the T. N. O. Railway. These pctures were shown to the outâ€" side world to give a correct impression of the great land through which the T. N. O. Railway runs. The pictures were good and no doubt had the desirâ€" ed effect in giving favourable publicity to the North Land. The Advance ten years ago said:â€" "Billy Matheson, the evangelist, left *this week for North Bay after a month‘s struggle to rescue the perishâ€" ng in Timmins. Timmins, hocwever, still has to be good for the Missicns are still in progress at the R.C. church here. It is just such visitors as these, together with the local clergy who are busy all the time, that kzeep Timmins trying to be gocod all the time." In sonnection with the Missicn at St. Anâ€" thony‘s R.C. church, The Advance also nublished the following paragraph:â€" "A gentleman living up on the hill has reasons for believing that the Misâ€" sions now being conducted at the R.C. church here are assuredly helpful and improving. Recently he lost five TEN YEARS AGO IN TIMMINS From data in the Porcupine Advance Fyles. #* #+4 #+* *. .*, * .““ * °® * "% "¢ °® ne*veatastaectec*tas*ss*. .oo’oo‘oo # +Â¥ °* "® #* *4 #4 #4 * # *4 o o nA .“.“.“.“ #, )* .“. .0 | chickens from his poultry house and he had counted them as lost forever. The | missionaries at the church, however, had very earnestly impressed the lesâ€" son of property rights, and very careâ€" fully explained that if a man "found" anything or acquired anything that did not belong to him, it was his duty to search out the owner and make return ! of the strayed property. As a conseâ€" quence of the good morais and the Christian citizenship thus taught, the gentleman on the hill was sought out last week and four of his strayed fowl duly returned. This sort of respect for others and their rights very naturally creates a respect for the religion that inspires it. But if it became too uniâ€" versal it might cause consderable disâ€" organization in affairs these days." The Advance noted ten years ago that E. J. Zavitz, Director of Forestry in the Department of Lands and Forâ€" ests, was to be given an important new in connection with the forestry policy of the Government then in powâ€" 'erâ€"the Drury Government. He was ‘;announced as the Superintendent of | Wceods and Porests, and as such was to '!be entrusted with the greater part of ‘ the responsibility for the reforestation I policy that had for some time previous rlbeen receiving attention at the hands cf the Government. Mr. Zavitz was |credited with much of the improveâ€" iment made in fireâ€"ranging and forest .!fire protection up to that time in Onâ€" ‘ s nssm ns e ons mm mm snn n ons mm mm s In the issue of The Advance of Sept. 29th, 1920, there was a rather lengthy article on Iroquois Falls. Special reâ€" ference was made to the beautiful at Iroquois Falls, the good roads, the miles of sidewalks, the lawns, the wellâ€"equipped homes, the large and mcdern school, the facilitiee for all kinds of sports from tennis to soccer and baseball, the golf cource, and the fine hotel boasted by the town. The hotsl, it was pointed out, had 200 rooms and about 25,000 meals were served in it every month. There was also comâ€" ment on the construction work in proâ€" gress in the town. "One of the wonder tewns of the North" was the heading on the article, a subâ€"heading saying:â€" Iroquois Falls, the Big Paper Town has Made Remarkable Progress. One of the Province‘s Beauty Spots." Tue deain of a wellâ€"known and very highlyâ€"esteemed railroad man was chronicled by The Advance ten years ago, when this paper spoke of the sinâ€" cere regret felt by wids circles of friends in the district at the sudden death at Kapuskasing of P. J. McConâ€" omy. The late Mr. McConomy was for ‘several years on what was termed "the Falls run," from Porquis Junction to Iroquois Falls and return. Mr. Mcâ€" Conomy for some little time previous to his death had been at Kapuskasing where he was yardsman for the Canâ€" adian National. He passed away on Sunday, Sept. 21st. Among the near relatives surviving, The Advance speâ€" cially mentioned his son, Ken McConâ€" omy, who was then and later very wellâ€" known and popular in sporting and in railroad circles. The following paragraph is from The Advance of Sept. 29th, 1920:â€" "Mrs. A. Roberts, Miss Jean Roberts, and Master Bobby and the twins, reâ€" turned on Friday morning to their home after their trip to Scotland, Mrs. Rcberts‘ cld home land. ‘They were accompanied here by Mrs. Roboerts‘ sisâ€" ter and the latter‘s husband (Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Cowan) and Mrs. Roberts‘ mother, Mrs Simpson, all of whom ars taking up residence in Timmins. Mrs. Roberts and family had a pleasant visit in the Old Country, but found condiâ€" tions there generally not as promising as before the war. The return voyage was stormy and the wreck on the T. N. O. Thursday evening was also enâ€" countered with its accompanying tireâ€" some delay. Mr. A. Roberts went south last week to meet the homeâ€"coming party." Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"*"‘The foundation has been built and the work of construction well under way, in the building of a big modern store for the McIntyre Merâ€" cantile Company of Schumacher. Work is also under way in the conâ€" struction of a new refinery building for the McIntyre Mine. The new refinery, when completed, will be the finest of its kind in Canada, it is said." "F. T. Stewart, manager of the Kirkland Lake office of H. B. Wills, Co., spent the weekâ€"end in town." "Robt. Wilson has returned from a visit to Kingston and other points south." ‘"Mrs. B.

"Mrs. Brough has returned from a visit to her son, A. G. Brough, at Shawville." "Mrs. P. Jeffrey left on Thursday last for Haileybury to take treatment in the hospital there. Her many friends in the district will sincerely wish her an early and complete return to health." "Bornâ€"On Saturday, Sept. 25th, 1920, to Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Sulliâ€" vanâ€"a son." "Joe Brennan, volunteer fireman, and very popular in baseball Organization in Canada in Industry and Commerce The Department of Labour has just issued the ninth report on organization in industry, commerce and the profesâ€" sions in Canada for the year 1930, a volume which conveys some idea of the extent to which organization has deâ€" veloped among those identified with the industrial and commercial life of the Dominion.

The Schumacher Mail Voice Choir will deâ€" light all with the variety and the exâ€" cellence of the programme presentec. There will be solos, duets, quartettes and choruses, and the general opinion will be that any single item will be worth the price for the whole proâ€" gramme. The Schumacher Male Voice Choir‘s quartette is a particularly good one, as those who heard it at the Corâ€" nish Football Club event on Saturday evening will very gladly testify. The Schumacher Male Voice Choir is one of the bestâ€"balanced and best trained choral organization ever gotten toâ€" gether in this camp. This is the opinâ€" ien of music lovers in Schumacher, Connaught and South Porcupine, where they have been heard. The choir has achieved a very enviable reputation, so much so, indeed, that they have been asked to sing at places as distant as Cochrane and Kapuskasing. Under the very competent leadership and diâ€" rection of Mr. Bowden the Schumacher Male Voice Choir has reached a high standard of excellence. PFriday evenâ€" ing, Oct. 17th, will be their first aprâ€" pearance in Timmins, and there cerâ€" tainly should be a large attendance at the United Church to hear this talentâ€" ed choir. Pembroke Standardâ€"Observerâ€" Anâ€" nouncement is made by Premier Ferâ€" guson that an extensive educational campaign to encourage the buying and eating of Canadian products in Ontario will be launched by his Government in the very near future.

Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Mcintosh Fancy Apples Charges that a Toronto firm of conâ€" tractors working on the new technical school at North Bay were not followâ€" ing specifications and that they were persisting in this attitude despite warnings, were made by Alderman Stevens at a special meeting of the North Bay city council on Saturday evening of last week. Alderman Stevens referred specifically to the use of pit run of gravel when the specifiâ€" cations unequivocally call for screenec material. â€" The contractors had been told earlier in the week to quit using unscreened gravel but he said, they had continued to do so. NORTH BAY COUNCIL HAS STARTED INVESTIGATION Other features calling for investigaâ€" tion, the alderman continued, were the addition of $1,300 to the plumbing and heating contract, the date set for the completion of the contract and the provision of $2,000 by the contractors for the use of the architects to take care of contingencies, when the arch:â€" tects are being paid regular fee. Impressed by the seriousness of the alderman‘s charges, council decided that an investigation should be made by joint committee of the council and the Collegiate Institute Board, under the chairmanship of Major Robert Rowe. No money will be paid by council on progress estimates until the report of the committge is dealt with. Aldermen Stevens, C. Gerry and Workâ€" men were named as the council‘s reâ€" presentatives.
