ABITIBI T0 HANDLE FLAT NEWSPRINT AT THE FALLS Xew Equipment to be Added to Iroquois Falls Plant. Fifty or Sixty Young Ladies WLl be Added to Staff , For several years past the Abitibi Power Paper Co. plant at Iroquois Falls has only handled its newsprint in rolls. The product of the plant was sold practically altogether to daily newspapers using presses on which the paper has to be fed from rolls Indeed, at one time the whole production of the Abitibi at Iroquois Falls was pracâ€" tically taken over by one group of large dailies using only newsprint in rolls. There has been no facilities at the Falls for handling what is known in the printing and publishing trade as "flat" paper, which means paper in cut sheets and not rolled. Conditions have changâ€" ed, however, and The Advance now unâ€" derstands that the Abitibi plant at Iroâ€" quois Falls is planning now to handle filat newsprint, and that in a short time the plant will be complete‘ly equipped to this end. Extra equipment is now being installed and it is also understood that fifty or sixty young ladies will be transferred to Iroquois Falls from some of the other plants of the Abitibi, these skilled and expert young ladies to do the counting of sheets and handle other technical details of the work at which they are experienced and expert. The plant at Iroquois Falls will be doubly equipped when the change is completed, being still able to handle the supply of roll newsprint as well as the flat paprer when required. The fiat newsprint is used for presses that are not of specialâ€" ly high speed. Flat paper is necessary for most weekly newspapers and also for mosters and other similar work that is not printed on the special highâ€"speed presses. The addition of these faciliâ€" ties to the Iroquois Falls plant will be cf advantage to that town and may asâ€" sist in restoring it to the fine prosperiâ€" ty it enjoyed for many years. There have been reports that some of the Abitibi mills were to be closed down permanently but this has been denied cfficially. The city of Sault Ste. Marie was recently quite exercised because they feared that the Abitibi was evadâ€" inz the agreement with the city in reâ€" gard to the number of men employed by the firm in the city. Sault Ste. Marie asserted that the agreement with the company stipulated that a specified number of men be employed continuâ€" ously, as the Abitibi took over an unâ€" dertaking to this effect by its predeâ€" essors. Sault Ste. Marie took the matâ€" tsr up with Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Minâ€" ister of Lands and Forests, and last week Mr. Finlayson is quoted as saying to Sault Ste. Marie that he had assurâ€" ance from the president of the Abitibi Company that there was absolutely no tru‘th in the report. that the company r:rsmosed to abandon any of the Spanâ€" ich Parrr Co. mills now under Abitibi covnership. "The president of the Abiâ€" tibi assures me," Mr. Finlayson is quotâ€" ed as saying, "that already large sums have been spent in rehabilitation of the Spanish propsriies, and this proâ€" gramme will be resumed as soon as the present depression is passed." Sscms of the plants of the Abitibi Co. have been temporarily closed or mroduction reduced on account of the difficult conditions of trads in the newsâ€" print business. Under all the circumâ€" stances of ‘the case it is pleasing inâ€" desod to see the Abitibi at Iroquois Falls s o en o o t t n on n n n n n en cAAA sA h hfi t en LhA LAUAROALG LE LC LE LA LA LA LA LA UR UEA MnRA cfi scb Timmins Special 2 tins for SINGAPORE SLICED PINEAPPLE STANDARD QUALITY PEAS No. 2 tin, Sieve 4 Special 2‘ J tins for::::*:.:: :s s is m .

These concerts are very enjoyable, the pupils showing notable talent, and the training by the teachers adding to the effectivehess of the enâ€" tertainment. . For this (Thursday) evening and toâ€"morrow night (Friday) the pupils and teachers of the Central public school have prepared a concert that will likely prove even more popular than previous events under the same auspices. The programme will consist of choruses, dances, Junior Red Cross Health play, Christmas numbers, etc. The pupils have been busy this week selling tickets for the event. . The adâ€" mission fee has been kept at the nomiâ€" nal rate of 25 cents for adults and 15 cents for children, so that all may feel it within their reach to attend. For the small additional fee of ten cents the ordinary tickets may be exchanged for reserved seats. Reserved seats may be obtained by taking the regular ticket purchased to the school office and payâ€" ing the additional ten cents. If the previous programmes are any criterion all attending the event in the Central public school on Thursday or Friday evening of this week will receive the most notable value for their money that they have encountered since the preâ€" vious Central school concert. COUNCILLORS FOR COBALT ELECTED ON MONDAY, DEC. 1 In the election for the six seats on the Cobalt town council held on Monâ€" day of this week the successful canâ€" didates were:â€"Oliver Blais, Albert Presse, Fred Marr, Charles Otton, Thomas Wainwright and J.

This is to be the last dance for this year and as the proceeds are to be given to the Timâ€" mins Basketball the management inâ€" tend to mak> a spscial sucesss of the cccasion.

The music is to be furnished by the Club Royal erchestra, and dancing will commence at 10 p.m. adding to its equipment and staff. For years the Iroquois Falls plant was run at capacity or close to it all the time and as a consequence the town was one of the best in the North. It has weathâ€" ered the duller conditions of ‘the paper market in gcod shape, and it will be hoped by all that Iroquois Falls may eccontinue as a leader in its lines. Mr. and Mrs. W. B.

The many friends of Mrs. Geo. Pond will greatly regret an accident that happened to her on Tuesday morning and all will sincerely wish for her speedy recovery from the effects of the injury received. Mrs. Pond was using an electric power wringer when her hand was caught in the rolls in some manner. She was unable to turn the power off in time to avert accident, but did succeed in forcibly tearing her hand from the rollers. In doing this Mrs. Pond sufl@red a badly injured thumb, the end of the thumb being so badly injured that. later in the day a part of the top of the thumb had to be amputated. Mrs. Pond walked to the hospital for treatment for the injured thumb, and successfully underwent the operation for the amputation of the top part of the thumb. She is making good progress to recovery at the preâ€" sent time. It was the right hand that was injured, but while‘ the injury is serious enough, Mrs. Pond escaped more serious consequences from the aczccident by her own courage and presence of mind in tearing the arm away before it was all drawn into the rollers. There were ten candidates for the council of the townshin of Teck, the four successful candidates being H. H. Boyd, Max Keplan, A. G. Macdcnald, and David McChesney. Messrs Boyd, Keplan and Macdonald were members of the 1930 council and are reâ€"elected for 1931. Mr. McChesney takes the place of Alex Fraser of the 1930 counâ€" cil board. Mr. Fraser was sixth on the list Monday in the voting. At the election of reeve and councilâ€" lors for the township of Teck on Monâ€" day of this week, M. G. Hunt, barrister, of Kirkland Lake, was elected reeve of the township, defeating Norman Evoy, who was reeve this year and also held the position in 1929. In the conâ€" test on Monday for the 1931 reeveship Mr. Hunt received 867 votes. and Mr. Evoy 577, Mr. Hunt thus having a maâ€" jority of 290 votes, or over half as many votes again as the present reeve. The euchre, five hundred and bridgs given on Tuesday evening by the Northland Nurses‘ Club was one of the most successful and enjoyable events ever given in the camp. There was a large crowd present for the event at the St. Anthony‘s parish hall and everyâ€" body had a good time. The prizes ware very attractive, and the who!is event brought forward much favourable comâ€" ment for the efficiency of those in charge of the event. The event was equally successful from the financial standpoint, a neat sum being realized, the money to go to the fund for. furâ€" nishing the lecture hall at the hospital.

It is up to the hockey players and cthers interested, and if they want Junior hockey they should get in touch with Harry Boyd at once, so that pians can be made. $2.45 12%¢ THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO H. Needham and Gus McManus Creditâ€" ed With Making Seventy Miles Through Trackless Country in the Course of a Week. GOMPARATIVELY SLOW TIME MADE BY TRANSâ€"CANADA CAR Recent word from Messrs H. Needâ€" ham and Gus McManus, who set out many weeks ago from Hearst in an atâ€" ‘ tempt to cross Canada by motorcar, has. not been altogether encouraging. Mr. Needham made the trip from the Mariâ€". times to Hearst without any trouble and when he reached Hearst in his car h2 had several days to spare on his scheâ€". dule. At Hearst he was joined on the trip by Gus McManus. It was known that the real difficulty remained in negotiating the stretch of bush and. untracked country west of Hearst to. the Nipigon country where the road system into Manitoba would be availâ€" able. Gus McManus, whom The Adâ€" vance believes was the real pioneer of Red Lake gold area, is an oldâ€"timer of the North who can neither be lost nor‘ overcome in this country. With such a partner there was great hopz> that Needham would be able to successfully make the trip through the several hunâ€" dred miles of untracked country from Hearst westward. Recent weeks have rather been discouraging to belief in] the feasibility of the trip undertaken. There has been the necessity for cutâ€" ting a path through the bush in places and at other spiots comparatively long stretches of marshy ground have been encountered that appeared about imâ€" possible to negotiate. With the help. of McManus, however, Needham has done a great deal. While on the first part of his trip no more then fifty miles could be made in over a week, late word from the Transâ€"Canada tourists would lead to the belief that a week ago they actually covered over 70 miles in seven days, which would be close to a record in a case like this where a trail has to be blazed through the bush and when hours upon hours are spent in getting the car out of some bad strip of country, or where a river has to be crossed cor a lake to be skirted or a deâ€" tour of some considerable length has to be made to avoid a big area of imposâ€" sible country, perhaps, due to rocks or marsh or other cause. So far as can be figured now from the meagre details at hand, Needham and McManus are now soime 200 miles or more west of Hearst and cnly making comparatively slow progress. Of course if they could do as well this week or next week as they did a week or so agoâ€"that is, cover 70 miles in less than a week,â€" there would be general hope that they would eventually "make the grade" and bring their car through with success to the Pacific coast. On the other hand, it is known that they have only made 200 or 300 miles in the several weeks they have been on the way. Their schedule allowed for several large dsâ€" lays in the present part of the trip, but scarcely as slow progress as that enâ€" ccuntered was expected or provided for by the promoters in laying out their plans. Whether they will be able to make the additional speed and be ab‘s thus to preceed on their way on the better roads that prevail farther west remains to be seen. If they can averâ€" ago ten miles an hour as they are said to have done during the last week or so, there may still be considered to be hopss for the success of Messrs Needâ€" ham and McManus. In any event psoâ€" ple in this part of the North are watchâ€" ng the trip with the closest attention and interest, and all sincerely hope that Needham and McManus ‘bring theit "bcat‘"‘ through in time to win.
