of The suggestion has bsen made that the town keep a supply of cordwood on the town Iot beshind the municipal building, this wood to be used as sort of test for applicants for beds and meals. Chief McLauchlan believes that such a plan would be of advantage in dealing with men who apply for beds at the station and who can scarcely be turned out in the morning without something to eat. If the wood were there to saw and split the transients could earn the meal to more or less extent and the relief cases given the wood by the town would have the wood sawn and split ready for use. It is a well known fact that some of those who apply for bed for the night at the jail are afraid of any work and would keep away if they knew that they had to earn their accommodation. On the other hand the majority are simply unfortunate in experiencing the worst form of the present unemployâ€" ment. This class would be delighted to earn their way by sawing and splitting the wood. The plan would accordingly be agreea.ble to ths deserving cases, while the octher kind are scarcely deâ€" erving of much consideration.

The weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis Club at the Empire hotel on Monday of this week proved esp2cially interesting and had many special features. The speaker for the day was Rev. Mr. Sumâ€" merell, of Schumacher, whose talented address was very greatly appreciated. The address by Rev. Mr. Summerell was very especially appropriate to the ocâ€" casicn and gave the members preseny many new lights on the war and its aftermath, as viewed from the broader viewpoint. Rev. M Summerell spoke on Armistice, its meaning and lessons and the divine purpose he saw all through the war and in the day since.

The Charity Stag this year will be on Wednesday, Dec. 10th. This is a departure from the previous days for the event, the seven other annual Turkey Stags being held on a Friday night. This year, however, the event is to be on Wednesday evening, Dec. 10th, and the fun will begin at 8.15 p.m. Ancther departure from the custom of the seven previous years is in regard to the admission fee, this being split in two and placed this year at ‘the popular figure of only one dollar. "Lap" Laprairie, the manager of the event, says that there is to be no cut on the programmne, but that the entertainment and pleasure are to be fairly doubled. Each week there will be announcements in The Advance in regard to this great annual event the first and oldest Charity Turkey Stag, and the biggest in Canada. As usual the event will be held in the St. Anthony‘s parish hall. There will be bridge, euchre, five hunâ€" dred and cribbage. The moustacherino contest will be one of the special feaâ€" tures of the occasion. It is possible, indeed probable, that a kiddie car race will be arranged between itwo wellâ€" known experts as an extra special. This will be alone worth double ‘the price of admission, but at present no more may be said. Music, of course, will be featured, and the plans are for a sp>â€" cial lunch this year. This lunch will include sandwiches, cheese, crackers, celery and coffee. It may be noted in passing that nve tons of Western tu:~â€" keys have been contracted for to meet the needs of the noted Timmins Turâ€" key Stag this year. This will mean that there will be lots of iturkeys for the event and lots over for the baskets to go to those in need in town and disâ€" trict so that all may have Christmas joys this Christmas time.

There were no less than 139 individuals and firms making conâ€" tributions and the A. J. Shragge store where the donations were asked to be left was a busy place for several days. The total number of jars donated to the 1.0O.D.E. fruit shower forSt. Mary‘s hospital and the Children‘s Aid Shelter was 260. Of the 260 jars, about haif were marked to go to the hospital and the other half marked for the Shelter.

The two minutes of silence in honour for the dead was folâ€" lowed by the placing of the wreaths on the cenotaph. wreaths were placed on the soldiers‘ memorial by representatives of the municipality, the Legion, the Ladies‘ Auxiliary, the Fire Dept., various societies, orders, clubs and service clubs and other organizaâ€" tions and individuals. Further referâ€" ence to the Armistice events is made by the secretaryâ€"treasurer in the weekâ€" ly letter, "The Legion in the Porcuâ€" pine," which will be found elsewhere in this issue.

The parade headed by the Jitizens‘ Band and the Canadian Legion Band marched to the United Church, the Roman Catholic churches and the Anglican Church in succession. The parade was an impressive one, inâ€" cluding the Legion, the Ladies Auxiâ€" liary, the St. John Ambulance Brigade, Italian soldiers and the general public. The Italian detachment attracted special attention. The St. John Amâ€" bulance Brigade in their handsome unâ€" forms were also noteworthy. There were special sermons in all the churches for the occasion. The Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion made fitting observance of the Armistice Day event, and were joined in this by many other organizations and by the public in general. LEGION AND OTHERS HERE NBSERVE ARMISTIGE DAY Large Attendance at Church Parkhde on Sunday. Big Crowd at Armigsâ€" tice Services at Cenotaph Timmins on Tuesday. pire Ropante Following its custom for some years past the Timmins branch of the Canaâ€" dian Legion this year offered prizes for the best window displays for Armistice Day, the windows to use the Armistice wreaths and poppies made by the Vetâ€" craft Shops in Toronto and sold here by the Legion for the benefit of the disabled exâ€"soldiers who made the wreaths and poppies. As usual the merchants in the camp responded well to the call for special window displays, and there were many talented windows in the local stores. In most cases these windows were symbolic and especially appropriate to the thought of Armistics Day. There were so many clever winâ€" dows for the Armistice Day event that the selection of the prize winners must have been a difficult one, though some of the designs were so outstanding as to place them high in order of choice. First prize was awarded to the A. J. Shragge store window. The second prize was won by the Hollinger Stores, and third prize by the A. Shaheen store. These three windows were outâ€" standing ones among the number of good window dressings in town. The judges included Mrs. Neame and Miss Jamieson. The Legion gave prizes of $25.00, $15.00 and $10.00 respectively for first, second and third place. Bornâ€"In Timmins, Ont., on FPriday, Nov. 7th, 1930, to Mr. and Mrs. D.

The late Oscar Lemieux was for a time on the Timmins police force, and was well known in the town and disâ€" trict. He had many friends who will deeply regret his untimely death. Few particulars are Oobtainable in regard to the death, but it is known that the late Oscar Lemieux was ill only about a week, death being due to pneumonia. He had been working at Noranda and a week or so ago was taken ill, sucâ€" cumbing to the attack of pmeumonia on Wednesday of this week. A meeting of unusual interest to the Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Canadian Leâ€" gion will be held on Tuesday afternoon of next week, Nov. 18th, at 3 o‘clock, in the town hall, Timmins. At this meeting, Col. F. W. Picking, first viceâ€" president of the Ontario Command of the Canadian Legion, will address the ladies. Col. Picking is a very gifted speaker and will be well worth hearing. The ladies of the Legion will be very much interested with what he will have to say and there will no doubt be a good attendance for the occcasion. Any ladies who are thinking about joining the Ladies‘ Auxiliary are also cordially invited to attend this meeting, as the address by Col. Picking will be one that none will care to miss. Col. Ficking will also address the Canadian Legion at its regular meeting on Monday evening of next week, Nov. l7th, in the Oddfellows‘ hall, at 8.30 pm. sharp. It is expected that this will be a specially attractive meeting as a particu‘arly good programme of enâ€" tertainment has been arranged for the ccecasion. The address of Col. Picking, of ccourse, will be featured, but there will be musical, literary and other numbers to add to the interest of the evening. GOL. PIGKING TO ADDRESS LADIFS‘ AUXILIARY HERE Will Also Speak at General Meeting of the Canadian Legion on Monday, Evening of Next Week, Nov. There has been a storm of protest this week over the fact that men who have been working on the road work in the. North organized as a relief meaâ€" sure for unemployment find they are to receive only $2.40 per day, instead of the $3.00 per day expected. Men with teams find their pay similarly cut and The Advance understands that a numâ€" ber of the teams had to quit work this week as the men found it impossible to carry on at the new reduced rate. In a statement issued this week Hon. Mr. Finlayson says:â€"‘"The Governâ€" ment has not reduced wages. In order to receive the 25 per cent. grant from Ottawa we have reduced the working day from 10 hours to 8. The Federal Govâ€" ernment has stipulated that any works for which Federal funds are used in part must be on an eightâ€"hour day basis." To this statement by Hon. Mr. Finlayson it may be added that the Federal Government also stipulates that a fair rate of wage must be paid on the relief work, and it does not seem that $2.40 per day is a fair wage. The $3.00 per day formerly paid here for work on the roads, with a dollar for the man‘s board, left the worker with what seems like a very meagre wage. There has been a general feeling that even the $3.00 per day was too small, especially in view of the fact that the workers have to lose odd days through , wet weather and other causes. Hitherto, the rate of 30 cents per hour has been paid in this district for Government road work. The day has been one of ten hours, so that the worker has been able to make $3.00 per day. Under the Dominion Government regulations for relief work, an eightâ€"hour day must obtain. _ People who think over the matter will agree that the Dominion Government is right in this. If the economical situation of this country is to be righted, it may be necessary to enforce a sevenâ€"hour day or even a sixâ€"hour day. Certainly, the whole tenâ€" dency is towards the shortening of hours and it is not likely that the limit for the day will ever again go higher than the eight hours. In the Swastika section, The Advance understands that the rate of 35¢ per hour, or $3.50 per On Monday the handsome new flaz dealt with 219 app at the Hollinger Mine was formally number all but about raised for the first time on the big fi@2g ‘granted though soms pole made at the mine.

Mr. Kenning is being joined by other members of the Ontario House in pressing the matter to the attention Of the Government. Mr. Kenning is earnestly striving at present to presert the case fully to the Government. It would appear tha; once the Minister of Lands and Forâ€" ests, who is in charge of Northern Deâ€" velopment, understands the true situaâ€" tion, he will take steps to remedy the matter. As no change can be made in tpe hours, it would appear that to meet the needs of the: case the rate of pay for all on the relief road work should be raised to at least 374 cents per hour,. while 40 cents prr hour would seem to be more in keeping with conditions genâ€" erally in this North. day has been paid right along until thie present time. It would seem to be up to the Ontario Government to make the rate all over the North 374 or 40 cents per hour for the present. This would afford a living wage and be real relief effort. If men have to live and keep families at $2.40 per day with a â€" dollar off for board, some other agency will have to extend relief to the men who are working, as well as to the ones actually unemployed. The Ontario Government should set the example and pay a fair rate. The Advance unâ€" derstands that in some parts of the south as much s 65¢ per hour is being paid on relief work for labour, though living there is much cheaper than in the North. The cut rate of $2.40 per day is certainly not fair to the settlers and others who need the work so badly but also need a living wage as well. The Advance can not but believe but that as soon as the Government roâ€" alizes the true situation a inâ€" crease will be made in the pay on reâ€" lief work.
