m*%%‘mm““\‘%\\%‘\\%fl“fi%fi“fi%\“fi‘%} PP TT P n smm es 1 Sunday‘s church parade was vyery impressive sight and there was a good turnâ€"out of members of the Legion. The Timmins Citizens Band, The Leâ€" gion Bugle Band, and the St. John Ambulance Brigade, lent a military air to the parade. The flag of the Emâ€" glire the Union Jack was at the head of the parade and the Italian Veterans l | with their beautiful colours were at the rear end. These flags carried by the Italian Veterans are worthy of note, many complementary remarks beâ€" ing made about these flags, The parâ€" ade moved off at 1045 a.m. under the command of the president of the branch. The Timmins Citizens Band, end the Legion Bugle Band played in tune up to the United Church, where the United Church party went in to service. Several of our leading citizens including His Worship the Mayor Comâ€" rade G. 8. Drew, A. C,. Brown, H. C. Garner an'd many others were out on parade. After leaving the United Church the :wo bands again were in action and the RC. detachment left the parade at the R.C. churches. The parade then marched on to St. Matâ€" thews Church, where the Rev. . 5. h lt Ad Cushing conducted the service. In adâ€" dition to the usual hymns, "God Save the King," and "Onward Christian Soidiers," were fervently sung by the choir and congregation.

To the Ladies of the Auxiliary, the St. John Ambulance Brigade, the Timmins Citizens Band, Ne e iB ts us h 4 | â€" mt 4 T for this church parade, which showed | an outward sign of loyaliy to King and Country,â€"a parade under the banners 'of loyalty instead of the banners of ’corruption, which have been so often displaced of late in our midst. This lparade would show those followers of that filthy red flag, that we have here in the Porcupine, a strength of loyal citizens, who will at all times keep the old flag fiying at the top of the mast. We noticed another outward sense of loyalty on Monday in the form of the ‘big new Union Jack fiying from the ‘high flag pole of one of our large inâ€" 'dustrial concerns. Let us all hope that the good sense of fairplay, and justicse, that this flag represents will now and 'Iforever be predominant in the Porcuâ€" pine, and that where work, and liveliâ€" t‘hood are concerned, the men who ‘fought and bled for this flag and all good citizens of the Porcupine may ranx® ‘first and foremost where matters 0f employment are concerned. EP CC l the Ital'lar; iletera.ns, and the comrades of the Legion who turned out for this event, go our thanks _for their support, November 25th Auspices of Order of Eastern Star By the Secretary â€"Treasurer To the "victor" come the "spoils" and not to those who follow the flag of distrust and corruption, which we know has often been the case right in our midst. Let these be no dishonour, Or unâ€"British sympathy where the flag of the British Empire flies. ETE At our meeting Monday Comrades W. J. Bright, G. Mitchell, P. Larmer, C. F. Knell, H. W. Gooding, W. J. Butâ€" ler, H. G. Edwards, C. W. Chartrand, P M. Dolan, Bentley Webb and Dr. Russell were admitted into the branch. Comrade Ted Rowe also handed in his application after the meeting. We still grow, and grow, and we will grow more Tess e B o d eP and more. With Comrade Devine at the piano, the happy hour commenced. gongs by Comrades Huntley and Nicâ€" holis and Mr. J. Heffernan, Dr. Harriâ€" son, Dick Jackson, T. Rowe (recitation). Com. Dickenson, Fred Curtis (recitaâ€" tion). Pat Cherry (cornet solo). C Johnson, Bill Bright, P.

Heffernan made nice donaâ€" ‘ It might be just as well to stop and | | consider the splendid type of comradesl ‘that are coming forward to join the ; ‘branch. In Dr. Russell we have an~â€"| Iother splendid medical man who daily comes in contact with many comrades â€"::fl ts the Poppy Fund during the hapâ€" py hourâ€"a very thoughtful act from good citizen. Everyone went home happy at midâ€" night after another of those happy meetings where the fine spirit of comâ€" radeship exists, and the hearty laughâ€" ter is a tonic for the soul. I would like to draw the attention of all comrades to the chean rate of The Legionary. If we can get twenty or more to subscribe the price is 80 cents per year for each subscriber. Everyone have their 80 cents ready on Monday next and let‘s take advantage of this cheap rate. of the Legion. In Comrades Rowe and Larmer 1THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO get another splendid addition to the ranks of those in authority who also come into daily contact with many comrades. The rest of the comrades admitted are by no means lacking, some having seen considerable service in many climes for the glory of the Emâ€" pire. We have had several additions of late to our ranks of comrades who are leaders of men in civil life, as well as in the army, and let us hope that the good Legion spirit shown by Comâ€" rades Russell, Rowe and LArmer, will guide many, many more of this type of comrade into the branch, as there are seyeral in cam; that would be of great assistance if they were members of the local branch. l _One or two of our suspended memâ€" bers seem to be surprised that we can ‘carry on the good work without them. They wonder how we do it. "Well, to be quite candid T‘ll let them into a secret. At all events sponsored by the Legion entertainment committee there are alâ€" }ways two or more officers of the branch present and sometimes two of the exeâ€" cutive committee} and one or two memâ€" ‘bers of the entertainment committee. \‘The tickets used are all numbered, and Next Monday will be a splendid time to come forward, as we have Col. F. J. Picking the Provincial 1st Viceâ€"presidâ€" ent, with us in that date. So all these goxi exâ€"soldier comrades who have not joined our ranks read this letter, phone, write or call for an application form and be there on Monday and make record initation night, and show Col. Picking that you are one of us, show him that you will be with us, and the Canadian Legion. a half returned by the patron andll ne half by the Legion. At the close of ; the entertainment or dance the tlcket.sl are counted and the tax due paid. The J =ecxetary â€"treasurer, who is an officer | \of the branch, issues to the chairmani |of the entertainment committee, who is | \also an officer of the branch, a receipit | ;for all monies taken at the dance or entertainment. . Should this officer be iabsent, which seldom happens, a reâ€" | ceipt is issued to the member of the enâ€" tertainment committee present who asâ€" l sists in checking up the takings. By doing this we can tell when the takâ€". ings are counted whether the event has been a sucesss, and what profit is made or loss, as the matter may be. At the monthly executive and general meetings the amount collected is shown in the secretaryâ€"treasurer‘s financial statement to the executive and the comrades at the meetings. There is no chance whatsoever to "graft" and the manager of one of our largest dance halls does not hesitate to say that we have the best system of checking up on events or entertainments that he has ever seen. Let our friends get this:â€" A receipt for monies secured is always igiven. Always:; the monies collected are checked by both these officers to see that all is in order. Both these officers or any members of the committee, think far more of their characters than to ‘try and take anything that does not belong to them. Our friends would look far better if they came to the Legion and paid up their arrears, and then asked questions about the entertainments instead of trying to knock the Legion or give a comrade a chance to defend himself. This kind of street corner talk is not a credit to these friends of ours. It does the Legion no harm as the growth of the branch during the last 12 months shows that there are many, many, comrades who are content to leave the affairs of the Branch to the persons reâ€" sponsible for the conducting of these affairs. These exâ€"members of the Branch should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for trying to poison the good Legion spirit shown in the Porcuâ€" pine. Come like men to a general meeting. Pay up your arrears, which earn you the right to condemn or cenâ€" sure men who are giving their all for the Legion, for the welfare of the Leâ€" gion to help those who are unable to. help themselves. When your arrears are paid you have perfect right to the floor, to ask questions for the good of the Legion. Dan‘t stand on street corners trying tc spread a poison that runs off like water off a cabbage leaf. | If you cannot say a good word for the iILegion say nothing. I trust these exâ€" imembers will take this good advice ‘offered and get the real Legion spirit instead of the camouflaged spirit they entertain at present. The parade on Tuesday was rna.rred] by wet weather, rain falling heavily the , whole of the time. There was quite a nice parade. Addresses were given by His Worship the Mayor, Comrade G. S Drew, President Austin Neame, and Comrade Dr. Lee Honey. The Rev. R. S. Cushing was the padre for the occaâ€". sion. President Neame‘s address was listened to earnestly by the school children, the president urging the children to always remember those who fell in the Great War, and to ever reâ€" member that these lives were sacrificed for the flag of thq Empire, the Union Jack. There were many beautiful wreaths placed on the cenotaph. The ‘;Timmins Citizens‘ Band showed their splendid coâ€"operation by turning out for this parade, to commemorate the ! deeds of the fallen and to provide meâ€" morials to their sacrifice and valour is the work of the Canadian Legion and to all and everyone who turned out for the parade the Legion expresses their itha.nks. The Algonquin Rifles braved ‘the rain without overcoats and deserve | great thanks for their part in the ! ceremony. The Christmas Tree committee are| pany‘s busy and all comrades and Ladies of the Legion in good standing are asked She â€" to send in their names at once. See but the To the ladies who read this article I would ask them to turn out and hear the address of Col. F. J. Picking on Tuesday, in the town hall at 3 p.m. Col. Picking is a very gifted speaker, so I‘m sure the ladies will greatly enjoy | the address, and Legion information‘ that the Colonel will bring to theirl notice. f the z2dvertisement elsewhere in this paper for further hxtormat;on. _ And above all everyone who can turn out for the meeting on Monday next, as advertised elsewhere in this paper. Get as many new members as you can and let‘s have a record lineâ€"up for the Colonel‘s visit. As our president remarked, Comrade Parsons had worked overtime last week securing new members, adding four more to his credit. Comrade Parsons tells me he has several more lined up I hear our Legion artist, Comrade Huntley, has several lined up. I do hope these comrades will bag the bird for Monday next. Comrade Huntley has done away with his Toronto repertoire of new songs, aSs there are no songs like the old songs, rendered in the good old style. We are putting up the stage for Monday next so this means that we can expect a real good night. We can rely on good eats, etc., and a good entertainment, so let‘s have good lot of new members for initiation, then we will have a good night all round. Objects to Conference on Route of the Highway ‘The New Liskeard Speaker voices the opinion of a very large body of people who have given the matter careful study when that paper questions the desirability of any "conference" beâ€" tween the different parts of the North in regard to the proposed route of the Transâ€"Canada highway. The New Liskeard Spraker says:â€" "Many methods have been and are bsing adopted by the "four cities" to prevent the Ferguson highway from being recognized as the Ontario link in the transâ€"Canada highway. This was to be expected. "But, our people should be awake to the fact that we have a just and reaâ€" sonable object in view. Conciliation very much weakens our stand. This, to our mind, applies most particularly to the proposal to hold a joint meetâ€" ing at North Bay between the suppiortâ€" ers of the Lake Shore route and the Ferguson highway supporters, the "sugâ€" gested" cbject being to "come to some understanding" regarding the route to be recommended to the Dominion and Provincial Governments as the transâ€" Canada highway. "The people of Temiskaming and Cochrane District are supporting the Northern CN.R. route as the proper transâ€"Canada highway. Quebec will have a "feeder‘" to that road, via Matâ€" tawa, South Temiskaming, Ville Marie and Rouyn in the next year. Ontario already has one in the Ferguson highâ€" way. There is no reason why Algoma may not have one through Sudbury, Chapleau, or any other desirable secâ€" tion of the territory west of North Bay. That is a Provincial matter entirely and should not be confused with the transâ€"Canada highway. The question at issue is as to whether the Ontario section of the transâ€"Canada highway shall be run through to the Sault and along the North Shore to Port Arthur and Fort William, or continued from Hearst west to these Western Ontarid cities. That question should be settled by those in charge of the transâ€"Canada road building regardless of attempts to "nack" proposed conciliation meetings when "snap" votes may be secured and broadcasted as the wishes of those of the North. "The whole matter is up to the auâ€" thorities to deal with as the facts warâ€" rant, regardless of the political aspeci of the situation and we believe our Governments will accept that responâ€" sibility. "A correspondent gives this point of view: "A decision for the Ferguson highway at this time, would alienate the support of those between North Bay and Port Arthur.‘" Nothing elso could be expected. Hence the absurdâ€" ity of undertaking joint mseting to settle this big question. "But why hold such mesting? There can be no compromise over the selecâ€" tion of the right road, and there canâ€" not be more than one right road. This road, as stated by a Vancouver despatch must be the shortest and most easily built. And so far as Ontario is conâ€" cerned it must also be a road which will do justice to the agricultural capâ€" abilities of the "Banner Province." "Of course, we do not impugn the motives of our Temiskaming friends who are in favour of holding a joint mee{ing in North Bay; and we recogâ€" nize the fact that they are as anxious that the Ferguson highway be taken as part of the transâ€"Canada highway as we are." REPORT THAT TWO ABITIBI PAPER MILLS TO CLOSE DOWN Reports are current without contraâ€". diction that two of the Abitibi mills will close down shortly in view of the decreased consumption of newsprint. One of these is said to be the Sault Ste. Marie mill which is said to be about to close temporarily this week. In an announcement last week one of the viceâ€"presidents said he could not say how long the mill would remain inacâ€" tive. At Sturgeon Falls there is also the rumour that the Abitibi mill there is about to close down for a while. It was impossible for press representatives to secure any definite pronouncement in the matter, either denying or confirmâ€" ing it. The superintendent of the mill when asked about the rumour is quoted as replying:â€""I have nothing to say." From the fact that he did not deny or qualify the rumour in any way it is taken by people in general to mean that there must be something in the report. From all that can be learned |1n the matter, it is understood that there will be no change in the comâ€" pany‘s mill at Iroquois Falls. She was only janitor‘s daughter, t the elevator many brought her up. The Secretaryâ€"Treasurer ;Richard Barthelmess in \ ____"The Dawn Patrol" Here There have been great aviation picâ€" tures before, but critics say none of the grandeur shown by "The Dawn Patrol," the First National and Victaâ€" phone picture starring Richard Barthâ€" elmess, which will be at the Goldficlds theatre next Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 17th and 18th. With Barthelr:gs will be Doug. Fairbanks, Jr., Neil Hamâ€" ilton and 46 stunt fiers. Â¥ and that this is equally true of the sound effects. The acting is classed a.s} wonderfully good, and the critic then continues:â€"‘"This is the romance of realismâ€" not the faintest hint of false sentimentality; just the sheer stark actuality of those heroic days, newly revived with all the technical and arâ€" tistic resources of the modern screen. It is impossible to write of Dawn Patrol‘" without enthusiasm. It forces one‘s attention, grips it and holds it; and the memory of the picture will live long after the last scene is flashed upon the silver sheet, for it is the surreme aviation picture. The utmost resources of a great modern studio, and the best efforts of many skilled and gifted men, have been expended upon it; and their labsur has not been in vain. "Ths Dawn Patrol‘"‘ belongs in the select list | of classic pictures." Pembroke Standardâ€"Observer:â€"The Duke of Manchester, who recently arâ€" rived in New York, said that America does not know what hard times arse. "In Britain," he said, "they are too bad to talk about." In Pembroks we do not know anything about hard times. With the exception of the hands laid off when the saw mills closed there is stil} employment for all others, and it will not be long until emploayment will be provided for those now without work.
