To Reâ€"enact Oldâ€"time Gold Camps at the Turkey Stag "Lap" Laprairie, manager of the Turâ€" key Stag that has made turkeys faâ€" mous in Timmins and Timmins famous in Turkey, says that the eighth annual charity turkey stag to be held in St. Anthony‘s parish hall, on Wednesday of next week, Dec. 10th, is going to be the greatest and best yet. The event is for men only, and th> joy will begin at 8 p.m. sharp. Eighth Annual Charity Turkey Stag in St. Anthony‘s k *kA _ LI A«ra Asked what he considered thi feature this year, "Lap" sa Hellâ€"the Gambling Hell! We ing to depict the gold camps 0: ‘88, the pioneer gold camps, W gambling he!ls, their sheâ€"women andad heâ€"man and everything. It is going to be more realistic than the real thing. But, anyway, it is going to be Iot more fun, and clean, wholesome fun at that. In fact, it is going to be so good that the old rule of "men only" is to be more strictly enforced than ever." The manager of the big event added that ne expected to have 100 bewhiskered men on hand for the occasion. Some of these would be competitiors in the moustacherino contest, but they would all and more be at the wild scenes of the miners‘ gala night when old times would be reâ€"enacted and everybody would have a good time. The Turkey Stag orchestra will renâ€" der oldâ€"time tunes. The Turkey Stag quartette will sing songs for men only. The Turkey Stag Vaudevillians will give 15 minutes of song and laughter. There will be many other special turns that are sure to delight all. The depiction of the oldâ€"time gold camps will of course be a special feature. There will be a number of extra special turns. On Wednesday evening next there will be a great array of prizes for the moustacherino. Prizes for the biggest moustache, the blackest, the reddest, the whitest, the culiest, best handlâ€" bar, the best Kaiser moustache, the best goatee, the best mutton chops, the best Jewish whisker, best sideboards, the longest beard, and the second longâ€" es beard. One of the particular attractions of the night will be the free lunch of sandwiches, celery hearts, imported Swiss cheese, crackers, coffee, cream, etc. Also note that there will be free smokes, cigarettes, cigars, etc. Programmes from last year‘s Turâ€" key Stag bearing the following numbers will be exchanged for one turkey each, if mesented at this year‘s Turkey Stag, the lucky numbers being 51â€"206â€"248â€" 379â€"531 and 612. In cards, there will be bridge, whist, five hundred, euchre, cribbage, 45‘s, etc. "Make your own party of four; make your own rules; play at least 90 minutes and high man gets a turkey," says Lap. For the cards there will be a corner charge of a dollar. There will be 10,000 pounds of turkeys as prizes for "Gimme," the game that Lap calls "the hairâ€"raiser of the North." All who enjoy a good time should certainly mark down Dec. 10th and the "Lap" will be glad to have all the able workers who assisted last year give hand again this year. All such are very specially ugred to see "Lap" as soon as possible. After the summerâ€"like weather of the middle part of November last week‘s arop to zero and much below was a deâ€" cided change.

Cochrane confessed to 25 below, while reports from north of Cochrane on the T. N. O. extension were much milder than the Cochrane rsports. Coral Rapids, for instance, was given as only 15 below; Fraserdals, near the end of steel, was only 19 below.

Fire Insurance Agent and Fireman Have Fires This veek saw both a fire insurance agent and a fireman suffering from fires in this camp. In both cases the danger done was comparatively small, and, of course, both the insurance agent and the member of the fire brigade were protected by insurance. The fireman having the fire was Chas. Amott, of Schumacher, whose interest in fire brigade work and whose battles for the saving of the prope of others from fire has won admiration in the past. It was a rare fire and a rare tournament of the Temisk f Firemen‘s Association that did not see Charlie Arnott a leading and useful member of the Schumacher fire brigade. On Tuesday morning about ten o‘clock a neighbour noted smoke coming from the Arnott store and an alarm was sent in. The fire was found to be in the cellar near the furnace where some hot ashes had set fire to a cardboard conâ€" tainer. The fact that the blaze was discovered so early in its progress, the fact that the brigade made so quitck a response, the good work done by the firemen,,. and the further fact that the water pressure was excellent, all conâ€" trived to nip the danger of a serious fire. The damage done would probably not exceed $250.00. The chief injury was caused by smoke, the smoke also gcetting into the Dominion Stores buildâ€" ing next door for a few minutes, but not causing much harm there. The average citizen of Schumacher watchâ€" ing the good work of the firemen could scarcely refrain from being thankful that the blaze had not occurred last week one day when the water was off for a few hours owing to a break in the main to Schumacher. However, with water at full pressure, the Schumacher firemen soon put out the fire, and all was well. The fire insurance agent to be visited by fire was W. S. Macpherson, whose zarage at 49 Tamarack street was badly damaged by fire on Wednesday mornâ€" ing at an early hour. The fire started from unknown cause and was first noâ€" ticed at 1.30 a.m. Mr. Macpherson was listening to the radio when he noticed strange noises on the air. He susâ€" pected that perhaps the aerial pole which was attached to the garage might be swaying unduly, as the interference seeméed to be close by. He stepped to the window, and at once noticed smoke The subject for the Christian Science mseting in the Oddfellows‘ hall on Sunday, Dec. 7th, wil} be: "God the Only Cause und Creator." The of the subject was received too late this week for inclusion in the advert‘seâ€" ment elsewhere in this issue, that seoâ€" ticn of the paper having been printed. ming from the garage. The interâ€" ference he had noticed was no doubt caused by the effect of the heat on the metal covering of the garage, this in turn setting up a vibration of the pole. Before the fire could be extinguished some damage was done to the interior of the building. A pet dog kept in the garage was suffocated. Mr. Macpherâ€" son‘s car happened to be down town at the service station receiving some small attention needed and so fortunately escaped any chance of injury from the fire. WILL SERVE TWELVE MONTHS FOR POSSESSION OF STIL 3 a result of police court proceedâ€" ‘n«; this week two men were taken to yesterday by cne of the Doâ€" minion police to serve terms there with hard labour. One of these was Alâ€" phonse Latour who has been facing four charges in recent police courts. He was convicted of having been in passession of an illicit still in the spring of 1927 and on this charge he was fined $500.00 and costs and given a term of 3 months and in case the fine was not paid a further term of 12 months or 15 months in all. As he could not raise the fine he left yesterday to start his term. Latour was convicted and fined at Kapuskasing in 1924 cf a similar offence. The three other charges, two in regard to illegal possession of furs and other in reference to nonâ€"support of his family, were withdrawn. With Latour on his trip to Haileybury went another man who will spend 30 days in jail in default of a fine of $10.00 and costs for drunkenness. iiphonse Latour, Previously Convicted for Having TJlicit Still, Gets Term in Jail. Qther Cazces at Police Court in Timmins This Week. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4th, 1930 COMMENCEMENT MADE RERE ON RELIEF WORK PROGRAMME About Fifteen Men at Work on /Sewer Construction on Balsam Stteet. Other Work to be Cartied Out by the Municipality, Work commenced on Monday of this week on the programme of relief work planned and provided for by the town to assist in looking after the citizens h who may be on the unemployment ist. The work commenced this week was on the construction of the sewer on Balsam street. There is a gang of fifteen men employed at this work. Other works on the programme apâ€" proved by the Government for the reâ€" lief work will be undertaken later, but the intention is to complete them all before next March. There was a meetâ€" ing of the committee of the town counâ€" cil looking after the relief programme last week and it was decided to make an immediate start on the work. The men will only work eight hours day, this being one of the Government‘s reâ€" quirements. in the matter. The rate of pay was decided on as 40 cents per hour, though one member of the counâ€" cil is understood to have held out for 47 cents per hour, the latter being the rate paid at the mines, and so conâ€" sidered the "prevailing‘ rate as required by the law in the matter. The forty cents per hour will be considered as not too much, but it is at any rate an improvement over Hon. Mr. Finlayson‘s 30 cents per hour. The examinations for the obtaining of the degree for nurses, "R.N.," was held in St. Mary‘s hospital, Timmins, on Nov. 26th, 27th and 28th. Miss Waterman, the superintendent of nurses in Cochrane, was present here on the third day to assist in marking Practical Demonstration. There were three nurses from the loâ€" cal school and three from Cochrane who tried the examinations. The nurses here consider themselves fortunate that through the efforts of St. Mary‘s hospital, Timmins has beâ€" come a centre for these examinations. From what can ke l2sarned, the papers at the examinations were rather diffiâ€" cult and catchy. Sister M. Fidelis was the presiding officer at the exanrinations here last week. wedding. A few of the ftiehds of this popular and highlyâ€"esteemed couple gathered at their home to express their congratulations and good wishes on the occasion and the sincere desire of all who know them that Mr. and Mrs. Richards enjoy many more anniversary cccasions. From the very early days of this camp Capt. and Mrs. Richards have been residents of Timmins and have won the highest regard of all, Capt. Richards being one of the most popular executives at the Hollinger Mine and the couple having very wide circles of friends.

Martin, Ontaric Minister of Public Welfare, will be at North Bay on Monday, Dec. 8th, when _ will hold a conference with the Aid Superintendents of the and with other workers for welfare. It was hoped to have Hon. MF. Martin visit Timmins and other towns in the North so that he might see conditions and also the work being carried on to meet them. There were tentative arrangements made to have Hon. Mr. Martin visit Haileybury about Dec. 19th, and Timmins had hoped that it would be possible to have him come on here also to visit this district. Later develorments made it necessary for the proposed meeting with Hon. Mr. Martin at Haileybury to be dropped, and then plans were turned to see if it would not be possible to have him come nortli after the conference at North Bay on Mconday. Thkis was found to be imâ€" practical, but there is assurance from Hon. Mr. Martin thats he will make a special trip through this part of ‘the North at a comparatively early date. on. Mr. Martin is familiarizing himâ€" self with every feature of the work of his department and to this end is visitâ€" ing all sections of the province so as to be certain of the local issuss and condiâ€" tions. It is particularly desirable that he should pay a special vis‘:t to Timâ€" mins, ‘Haileybury, Cochrans, Kapusâ€" kasing, and other towns in this part of the North. By doing so he would have firstâ€"hand knowledge of the difficulties encountered here as well as the plans made to meet them. He would ses what needs to be done and what is beâ€" ing done, and there is no doubt that he would give special support to the variâ€" Hon. W. G. Martin to V isit the North at Later Date ous good works for social welfare in this North Land. Hon. Mr. Martin is anxious himself to visit this part of the North and study conditions at first hand, and he will no doubt arrange the visit as soon as this may be pracâ€" tical. Announcement will be made as soon as it is known when Hon. Mr. Martin can visit <here. Arrangements will likely be made for him to addres> the Kiwanis Club and other public welâ€" fare organizations and plublic meetings may also be planned. Hon.

Haas and Gecorge Beardmore, has, according to news desâ€" patches from Sioux Lookout, been plunâ€" dered of hundreds of dollars‘ worth of ecquipment, and Provincial Police are now engaged in running down the perâ€" petrators of ths robbery. The cache was established in 1927 on Fipestone Bay, and consisted, it is ubhâ€" derstced, of canoes, cutboard motors and general cabin equipment for a minâ€" ing venture that was at that time, it is reported, being considered by the Toâ€" ronto men. An overseer by the name of Scott was placed in charge of it. When he visited it this fall he was thunderstruck to find that it had been stripped almost as bare as the proverbâ€" ial cupboard of old lady Hubbard. Scott is said to have complained direct to the Department of Mines, at Queen‘s Park, and, later, to Provincial Police headquarters, with the result that two constables were detailed from the Sioux Lookout post to aid him in running down the missing supplies. So far, however, they have, reports state, been hard to trace.

Little more than ten per cent. of the possible vote was cast.: The attitude of the people in general seemed to be that there wersa no particular issues and as the 1930 council had apparently ‘been satisâ€" factory in general matters could be rllowed to "go as they looked," as former councillor here used to say. Proof of this seems to be in the fact that four of the five 1930 councillors were â€" reâ€"elected, this four being the highest on the ballot. The other 1930 councillor, A. G. Carson, who was deâ€" feated, lost by only a small margin. After the voting it was thought at first that Messrs. Carson and Morrison: were tied for the sixth place on the council, with 344 votes each. A checkâ€"up of the returns from the various polling subâ€"divisions showed that in one case the figures of the votes for Messrs. Caron and Carson had been transposed The vote was 33 for Caron and 17 for Carson, but the figures had been added in the list as 17 for Caron and 33 for Carson. When this was adjusted it was found that John Morrison was the elected councillor, and the decision of the returning officer was not necessary to break the tie.
