E. Wilson tenâ€" dered his resignation as police chief to j the Timmins town council, the chief : askingz to be relieved of his duties as! soon as possible as he wished to take up I mining and prospecting work. On moâ€"| tion of Councilliors DeFeu and Longâ€" more Chief Wilson was asked to re-l consider his decision. Councillor Deâ€" Feu said that Mr. Wilson had been an| able and very satiqfadtory chief of | police. In reply, Chief Wilson said he‘ had recsived every support and courtesy from the council at all times, but as he was going back to mining work and had made the arrangements to this effeci, he could not withdraw the resignation. The council had a reply from the Norâ€" l thern Ontario Light and Power Co. in reference to the town‘s comp¢‘aint about poor street lighting. The manager of the company, W. F. B. Cadman, said the matter had been investigated and the trouble had no doubt been caused . by the street lights going out earlier then they should do. This was due to. a pecularity in the automatic control of the lights and the trouble had been remedied as soon as it was discovered. He said the company were very anxious to give the best possible service and welcomed all suggestions that would assist to this end. The letter also reâ€" ferred to the number of street lights ‘that were broken by deliberate mischief, and asked for all possible protecticn 'frc-m the town in this regard. An apâ€" plicatieon was received from Thos. Reâ€" zan for the position of constable. Mr. Regan had had six years‘ exphrience in police work. There was a large detiataâ€" ‘tion before the town council asking for the appointment of a Provincial Health Nurse for the town. S8he deputation inâ€" Dec. 19â€"20â€"‘"Scarlet Pages" TEN YELARS AGO _JN TIMMINS Fablesâ€"*"SNOWTIME" in his hanpiest role From data in the Porcupine Advance Fyles cluded representatives from the puoiic school baard, separate‘schocl board, local board of health, the Red Cross, Ladies of Charity, Jowish Women‘sâ€"SOâ€" ciety, and mothers of the town. Dr. H. . Moore, medical health officer, acte: as spokesman for the delegation which crowded the council chamber. He pointed out the number Oof societies and interests represented and referred to the good work for tha general good in which they were concerned. He reâ€" viewed the work of the Provincial Health Nurses during their stay in Timâ€" mins, referring to the large attendance at the clinics for children and mothers, and to the general interest taken in the. work of the nurses, Miss Linton and Miss Meikléjohn. Dr. George, provinâ€" cial medical health off.cer for Northern Ontario, also spoke on the matter, and Dr. McInnis, the mayor, pointed out that there would have been many childâ€" ren saved from death in the previous three years had the nurses been at work here in that time. On motion of Councilicrs Longmore and DeFeu it was decided to authorize the loca‘ board of health to secure a town nurse at isalary of $175.00 p»r month. The counâ€" cil passed the usual byâ€"law disqualifyâ€" ing those from voting who were in arâ€" rears of taxes at Dec. 14:h. On moâ€" tion, Fire Chief Borland, Mayor Mcinâ€" nis and Councillor DaFeu were appointâ€" ed as the fuel control board for Timâ€" mins. In November of 1920, cne evening| ofter the mail bag was thrown off at. Schumacher station some person Or. persons came along and stole the mail baz, carrying it ‘along the track towards th> Doms Siding and cutting it open and rifling it. Letters were opened and ssarched for money or anything that had any relation to imoney. Among the stuff stolen were several unsigned draftts, and two men attempted to pay for some goods in a local store by tenâ€" dering one of these drafts, not knowing that it was valueless until endorsed by the proper party. Ths townskip police, Timmins police and the provincial police were all out after the mail robbers, but they were handiâ€" capped by the fact that people did not wake up to give them clues or informaâ€" tion until the tips were of little use. At the Ontario Associated Boards C. Trade meeting in annual session A Belleville ten years ago hearty endorsaâ€" tion was given to the proposed highway for the North Land from North Bay to Cochrane, and also to the extension of the T. N. O. Railway north to James Bay. Among ‘the delegates to the mesting were:â€"F. K. Ebbitt, Iroquois Falls; Geo. A. Smith, of Cochrane, but formerly of Timmins; and Arthur Stevens, of Cochrane. The Advance urged that plans be made to have a larger representation at the Ontario Boards of Trade meetings from this North Land. There was ‘a very pleasant euchre, dance and social evening held in the Oddfellows‘ hall ten years ago by the Rebskah Lodge after its regular meetâ€" ing. The attendance was large and all prsssnt thoroughly enjoyed the evenâ€" ‘ns. The euchre was keenly contested. Mrs. Harry‘ Leng was the winner of the first prize for ladies, and A. E. Prout sarried Ooff the prize for gentlemen. Mtrs. Marshall was awaraed the conâ€" solation prize for ladies and W. Martin, 3‘ the Crown, the gentlemen‘s consolaâ€" ticn. W. H. Wilson supplied the music for the dance. Ten years ago Rebekah events were very enjoyable and sucâ€" cessful, and the habit has become a econfirmed one of having delightful soâ€" cial affairs from time to time. The Advance ten years ago said:â€"â€" "The Mattagami river opened up again Friday. Settlers up the river say that the river qgpens every Friday. However, the opsning thus of the river is not of advantage to the settlers who have to come in by roads. Since the river first closed it has besn impossible to use an ordinary boat on it even on the opening days. The only boat able to run on the river these days is the Avon, the Mattagami boat. The Avon is of the iceâ€"breaker type and so runs to Sandy Falls, despite the ice." Ten years ago the Caledonian Soziety of Timmins held its first public funcâ€" tion, the St. Andrew‘s Night supper. The event was held in the basement of the Presbyterian church and over 80 Scots and their ladies were present. Among the guests for the evening were two new members, Dr. J. A. MciInnis, mayor of Timmins, and Mac Lang, M.P. P. Frank Lamb, president of the soâ€" cie‘y, was in the chair, and there were addresses by Rev. J. D. Parks, D. Macâ€" kie, G. A. Macdonald, P. Dougall, J. K. Mcoare, Mrs. M. B. Scott, Jas. Cowan, W. G. McHugh, Jas. Twaddle, Jas. Gells and others. Recitations by little Miss May Mcore delighted all, while an exâ€" tra snpecial number was the reading, "The Cuckoo," by M. B. Scott. The singing of "Annie Laurie" by Myrs. J. R. Todd was one of the numbers that roused spscial enthusiasm. â€" The acâ€" companists for the evening were Messrs Gen. M. Black and W. H. Wilson. The refreshments served by the ladies won stinted praise, these includirg sandâ€" wiches, cakes, secones, shoribread, etc., wi.n tea and coffees. The evening agreed upon by all present as a most delightful one and made a very aupiciâ€" ous opening for the Caledonian Society. The jury in the care of Mrs. Abouc, of Timmins, charged with arson et the were musical numbers by:â€"Miss IF garth, Miss Jean Roberts, Mrs. J «i2MEYCUTY B. Scott and others. There agreed and the case was set over for trial at the next assizes, The case of White vs. Town of Timmins for damâ€" ages for using a house of plaintiff‘s for an isolation hospital was also set over to the next court. Ten years ago The Advance was urgâ€". ing that better pay be given to witnesses at the Supreme Court held then at Hailevybury for this district. The Adâ€" vance pointed cut that the unfortunace people who were summoned to Haileyâ€" bury as witness were seriously out of ocket as a result. The pay received was not enough to buy their meals at the hotel. Men who might be getting $5.00 or $6.00 per day at their daily work, and finding that little enough to provide for their familiss, had to lose their shifts, pay railroad fare and other expenses, and their reward was $1.50 a day. The fact that the ordinary man could not afford to be a witness at the ‘ca.ses at Haileybury was not only unfair to the men concerned, but The Adâ€" vance pointed out that it could scarcely fail to affect the true course of justice. "Timmins the Healthiest Town in the Healthy North Land,‘ was the headâ€" ing on an article in The Advance ten years ago. The Advance, after calling on all to "touch wosd," pointed out that from the commencement of the town to the time of writing Timmins had had rare good luck in the matter of realth and in regard to any bad fires. This luck was due to several causes, including the situation of the town and the type of its people, but chiefly after all to the care of the authorities and the safeguards provided for the health and safety of the people. Chief among the items of Timmins luck, The Adâ€" vance listed the medical hsalth officer ard the fire chief, togethsr with the of all others concerned that Dr. Moore and Chief Borland were able to enlist in the respsctive spheres. Brief reference was made to epidemics in cther towns of tks North and the fact was stressed that the danger of these epidemics was very promptly ‘"nipped in the bud" by the medical hsalth authorities here. The money spent here for health proteciion was money very wisely expended and giving great returns, directly and indirectly. Even in the influenza epidemic Timâ€" mins was more fortunate that most other towns its size. The Advance conâ€" cluded it editorial by saying:â€"*"Taken all through, Timmins has a very creditâ€" able and pleasing record as a healthy town. Will some cone please pat The Csobalt Nugget on the head, so that this gciod luck may not be stopped?" For the benefit of any of that maligned race who are not supposed to be able to see 2 joke without a surgical opsration it I:na,y be noted that the reference to the Ten years ago there were several cases of typhoid fever reported from Smcooth Rock Falls, but practically all of the patients were making excellent progress to recovery. A couple of deaths resulted, however, before the dissase was Oascked. Amons the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago wore the foliowing:â€""On Sunday there was large crowd at Pearl Lake, taking adâ€" vantage of the excellent skating there. while still othere werse there to watch the skaters, There is a large sheet of gord ice at Pearl Lake and this is not only enjoyed by Schumacher peorle, but also by many from Timmmins and other parts of the district as well." "A Cobalt woman, formerly a resident of Timmins, was fined $500.00 and costs or four months in jail last week for seliâ€" ing Mquor at the home of her father at Cobalt. Shse swore she never sold a drink in her life but the magistrate imâ€" posed the sentence because this stateâ€" ment was actually a proovof of the truth of the case against her in view of other cases." "Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Watt, left laost week for a feow weeks‘ holiday in the south, interding to visit Toronto, Chicago, Detroit and cther cities before Mr. returns to his dutics in the freight department of the T. N. 0. here." "It is understood that the Posâ€" serteon Timber Co. have been granted three townships, Thornmnlos, .McKeown and Reynolds, in the recent sale of timber limits, the tenders being opened »chaltnewspatrier was simply an appeal > ths pscple of Timmins to pressrve hsir good luck by "touching wcod." 66#A ;W“WQWMMWMW Phone 2 7 7 immins Opposite Goldfields Hotel Block TIMMINS SIMMS, HOOKER DREW INSURANCE IN ALL BRANCHES REAL ESTATE Houses and Lots for Sale on Terms We Never Sleep on Nov. 20th." "R. C. Vaughan, manâ€" ager of the Smooth Rock Falls branch of the Impsrial Bank, was a visitor to town over the weekâ€"end, renewing friends and acquaintances." _ "School starts in the newly organized school section at Mattagami Heights next week. The school will likely open on the 7th or 8th. The Power building at the landing will be used for the present, and P. McEachern will be the juwnitor in charge of the school building. Miss K. Power has been engaged as teacher for the new school." "Mrs. Teasdale, of Richmond Hill, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Phil P. Tears." "The three felâ€" low countrymen being tried for the vicious assault on a Russian some weeks ago in a Fourth avenue boarding house are receiving a hearing this week at Haileybury, and Constable Greer and other witnesses will go down for the case." ‘"The dance in the Masonic hall on Friday under the auspices of the Ladies‘ Guild of St. Matthew‘s church, proved a very pleasing and enjoyable event. The attendance was large and every other feature of the evening was most satisfactory. Colombo‘s orchestra furnished good music for the occasion and all thoroughly enjoyed daneâ€" ing. Special mention may well be made of the refreshments servedâ€"deâ€" licious homeâ€"ccoking being a particuâ€" larly attractive feature." "A. E. Simms, who has been cne of the telegraph operators at the T. N. O. station here for some time past, has received promotion to a position in the New Lisâ€" keard station. He has moved his faâ€" mily to the Creamery Town and is takâ€" ing up his new duties at New Liskeard this week. Mr. and Mrs. Simms were popular and highly esteemed in Timâ€" ‘mins and there will be general regret at their removal. Mr. Simmis took an active part in hockey and other sports here." "There will be rlublic meeting of the citizens of Mattagami on Sunâ€" day afternoon at 2.30 in Mr. Powers‘ hotel to discuss and consider the quesâ€" |t-icn of organizing ths tcwnship cf !Mountjoy for municipal purposes." i "Mac Lang was in town this week and lis still firm in his opinrion that the |beaver houses this season prove thatf winter is still some distance away and |that there will be rains and thaws yet \ before the cold sets in. The wea‘her for the past few weeks has amply justiâ€" fied his claims in this direction. FPurâ€" ther, ‘he says there will be no shortage of power because there will be lots of wa‘er. Again in this, he appears to iknow what he is talking about. Conâ€" | siderable water has gone into the river \ during the past few weeks, and the | level of the water will be considerably | higher before the freezeâ€"ur| actually sets \in. He is going to have the laugh on \The Nugget all right, but that is no good, for anybedy can laugh at that (Cobalt Nugget nearly any old time." "Here is a hint for some others! A former Timmins business man writes The Advance from Toronto under date of Nov. 24th:â€""I notics by a recent isâ€" | sue of your paper that you are insisting i on your‘®customers paying for the papeéer, so, rather than have mine discontinued, ‘1I am enclosing you cheque for $2.00" J 4 "Readers here will likely start to guess as to who this writer may be, but as there are about fifty former Timmins business men in Toronto now, the guessing will be much less certain than the fact that those who do not pay for The Advance will} find the paper discontinued coming to their address." Kitchener Record:â€"John Gregg, the inventor of the shorthand system, has just married. His wife should find him adequately equippedâ€" to take dictation. PHONE 112 Residenceâ€"PHONE 135
