The sport page of The Halifax Mail of December 2nd almost seemed like a paz2 from a home paper, there were So many familiar names and faces on it. Halifax Wolverines and Truro Bear Cats had played their opening game of hockey the night before at the Haliâ€" fax forum before a crowd of over four thousand spectiators. For the Truro team Leo Sargent was in goal, Pete Mill, "Chuck" Jemmétt, Oliver Proulx, all former members of Porcupine Hocâ€" key Club, were in the lineâ€"up as well as F. Lavigne and R. Shields of last year‘s Eskimos of Iroquais Falis. Pete Mill is captain of the team this year, the Halifax paper featuring a large St. Paul‘s Anglican Church on gunday size photo of him, with the note "Rugâ€" ged defence star of the Truro Bear Cats. He‘s seen above wearing the wellâ€"known "Mill smile." His friends here recogizâ€" ed it very readily. The same page alâ€" so carried pictures of Jemmett, Proulx Sargent, Lavigne and Shields. The score was 2â€"1 for Halifax, but Jemmett gave the assist for the one goal, the Truro Bear Cats, last year‘s Maritime champions, obtained. In the threeâ€" column article by "Bill" McCall, The Halifax Herald sports editor, unstinted praise was given the work of Leo Sarâ€" gent in the Truro nets. "Only the brilâ€" liant efforts of Sargent prevented the secore from mounting higher." ‘"The front line of the Wolverines worked like clockâ€"work and it was Sargent‘s stellar netâ€"minding that saved the day for Truro." "Sargent‘s brilliant stops were drawing the plaudits of the crowd" being some of expressions used by this wellâ€"known sports writer. Pete Mill‘s excellent defence work was mentioned some eight times. Quoting again, Laâ€" Evigne, Truro‘s stubby little defence man, bounded the cpposing forwards in great style. The little Frenchman went over big with the fans, both of Halifax and Truro. His work with Pete Mill on defence gave Wolverines much to think about. The pair were the "bad men" of the night, Mill spending eight minutes and Lavigne seven on the bench." Lavigne got into a battle royâ€" al with one of the Wolverines and Reg. Shields, his pal, from Iroquois Falls joined in with the result that there was a freeâ€"forâ€"all in which even spectators were joining before order was restored. The wicked shot which we all know:» Oliver Proulx, former Timmins boy, THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO BUILD CAMP BETWEEN TEMAGAMI AND LATCHFORD Workmen are now engaged in the work of building a new tourist camp at James Lake on the Ferguson highway between Temagami and Latchford. The camps at Martin River and Tilden Lake near North Bay are also being improved and enlarged. Dead timber in the vicinity of the camps is being cleared a@away to improve the scenic beauty of the sites. The work is unâ€" der the direction of the Ontario Forâ€" estry branch at North Bay. packs, was mentioned but he did not find the net. The forward line of Lennon, Jemmett and Proulx was quotâ€"~ ed as the Maritime champions‘ best. There were 94 faceâ€"offs, largely due to the enforcement of the new rule re the crossing of the blue line. On Saturday afternoon last a numâ€" ber of young people assembled to see what could be done about forming young peorplle‘s choh under the superâ€" vision of Mrs. W. Wilson. The officers elected were:â€"Mrs. W. Wilson, musical director; Mrs. J. Jamieson, pianist; president, Mrs. Belle Thomas; first viceâ€"president, Miss E. Brown; second viceâ€"president, Miss B. Martin; secreâ€" tary, Miss Irene Armstrong; treasurer, Miss Gladys Gibbons. The choir meets every Saturday afternoon. All young women who wish to join are welcome. Mrs. J. V. Stone, assisted by Mrs. Spiers and Mrs. Christie, gave a cribâ€" bage party for the rinkâ€"hockey fund, the lucky ones being D. Leiterman, J. Robertson, Mrs..W. Christie and Mrs. I. Spiers. Six tables were played. In the police court of Thursday last besides five drunks who all added to the township‘s coffers by paying their finge, there was a forgery case, that of a man being charged with raising a one dollar bill of a United States bank to a twenty dollar denomination. This case was remanded for a week. Mrs. Bert Longworth entertained a number of her friends at a bridge party last week, Mrs. W. Christie and Mrs. P. Richards being the prize winners. Mr. Mario Piva, of South Porcupiine, sailed on the Westernland for Italy on December 7th. There was @ brief meeting of the council of Tisdale township on Monday last. Mostly routine business was transacted. Several tax cases came up for adjustment but most of these were confirmed. Charity cases also took up considerable of the council‘s time. _ In another column of this paper is an adâ€" vertisement calling attention to the fact that the work now being started to give employment to those out of work only applies to bona fide residents of Tisdale for the past twelve months at least. It is absolutely useless for those outside of the township to come in and expect to get work. The followers of the "stane and beâ€" so:n‘" have been disappointed in getting as their favourite sport owing to the soft weather. â€" One sheet of ice had been formed at the curling rink but with the recent weather it is fast disâ€" appearing. Blairmore, Alberta, Enterpriss:â€"A saxomhone serenader down esast was shot one night in mistake for a cat. It is explained that he didn‘t sound exâ€" actly a normal cat, but the shooter thought the cat might be sick. The skating and hocksy practices have also been discontinued owing to the soft ice at the arena. South Porâ€" cupine is all agog again about being in the N.OH.A. for another year just at time when things were looking doubtâ€" ful here. When what available hockey material‘ there was in this end of the camp got started practising at the arena it was found to be of such caliâ€" bre as to warrant an entry in the N.O. H.A. Iroquois Falls finding no league in which to list their juniors are using them to freshen up their team of sturdy old war horses and are also entered in the NOH.A. as well as Timimins. â€" So a thrseâ€"team league has been formed, the schedule for which starts in Timâ€" mins on January second. The first N. O.H.A. game in South Porcupine is to be played on January fifth but a numâ€" ber of exhibition games are being arâ€" ranged to be rilayed before this. Coach Jamieson says that weather permitting the first of these will likely be played on Monday next, December 15th, and will give the fans an idea of the ability of some of the "dark horses" in the hockey corral.

The Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the United Church wish to thank the prople of Schumacher who have donated and supported their various undertakings in the past year, and hope they will conâ€" tinue their support in the future. Mrs. Dr. Byers left last week for Toâ€" ronto where she will spend a holiday. Mrs. Frank Furlong, who underwent a serious operation at St. Mary‘s hosâ€" pital last week is progressing nicely. _ Master Buddy St. Clairâ€"Pike had the misfortune to fall and fracture his aim at school last week. The Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the United Church held their annual meeting and election of officers last Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. G. C. Murâ€" rlhy. The report for the year was read and despite the general depression, it was gratifying to think they had done so well. Officers for the coming term are:â€"president, Mrs. Foster; viceâ€" president, Mrs. A. P. Boyce; 2nd viceâ€" president, Mrs. Allen MacDonald; secretary Mrs. J. A. Hayward; treasurâ€" er, Mrs. G. L.

Mrs. Lecke then thanked the members for their support and coâ€"operation. At the close a dainâ€" ty lunch was served. Friends of Mr. J. G. Harris regret his prolonged illness at Christie St. hospital, where he is still confined to his bed. An item in The Advance last week in the Schumacher correspondence sugâ€" gested that Miss Olton had returned to the south after visiting her sister, Mrs. Cripps. The item should have read "Miss Bolton", instead of Miss O1â€" ton. Miss Bolton and Miss Olton are both Registered Nurses, and both were visiting in Schumacher. Miss Bolton returned to Georgetown, while Miss O1lâ€" ton is remaining in Schumacher. DANCE ON SATURDAY LAST BY THE LANCASHIRE CLUB A very successful dance was held on Saturday evening last, Dec. 6th in the Hollinger Recreation hall in aid of the Christmas Tree fund of the Lancashire Club. The hall was crowded for the event, and the best of music was furâ€" nished by the Club Royal orchestra. This evening (Thursday) a whist drive and social will be held, and all Lancastrians who are members, or inâ€" tend to become members, are requested to hand in the names of their children and their ages to the secretary or any member of the committee toâ€"night, or before, Saturday of this wesk, Dec. 13th. North Bay Nugget:â€"The Brandon Sun says that dining rooms are unâ€" necessary and advocates ceating in the kitchen. That may go in the wild west, but in this northern country it is far too primitive an idea to even consider. SOUTH PORGUPINE SCOUTS REâ€"CRGANIZED LAST WEEK Excellent Concert by Goldfields Band at South Porcupine on Sunday Evening. Other News From South Porcupine Corresâ€" pondent. South Porcupine, December 10, 1930 Special to The Advance. The Boy Scouts are again reâ€"organâ€" ized under the leadership of Mr. Jerry Newman of the Imperial Bank staff here, and formerly a scout leader at Kitchener, Ontario. The hoys have reâ€"opened their toyâ€"shop and are busy repairing toys for Christmas. They are also helping with the sale of tags for the Muskoka Hospital for Consumpâ€" tives. The committee are invited to next Tuesday‘s meeting. Mrs. F. Laforest entertained the bridge club on Thursday last. Mrs. W. W. Wilson won the first prize; Mrs. T. J. Wright second and Miss T. Burns, the guests‘ prize. The Rinkâ€"Hockey dance on Friday last at the High School hall was 2 deâ€" | cided success, between two and three hundred guests being present. The Ford Tudor, offered as a door prize, was won by Miss Dorothy Riley, of Nigâ€" gara Falls, Ontario. (Now all the boys| are wanting to drive that Tudor down there). The winning ticket was sold. by Mr. Versal Burton, also of Niagar a Falls, and a younger brother of Mrc. Stringer of the Dome Extension. The combination radiola was won by Mr. Bert Cunningham, of South Porcupine. It has not yet been decided who won the prize for selling the most tickets. A meeting is being held on Wednesday of this week when a closer checkâ€"up is being made. The way the people of this part of the camp rallied at the last to help make this affair a success financially as well as otherwise was very gratifying to the committee in charge. Over fifty dollars was realized by the buffet lunch served by the ladies committee. A nice sum will be available to help liquidate some of the indebtedness on the rink, and everyâ€" body had a good time. At a meeting this week the following were elected as the rink committee for the ensuing year:â€"Mr. Milas Clarke is again president; R. Mansfield, viceâ€" president; Messrs A. D. Pearce, J. Osâ€" trom and L. Sauder being the execuâ€" tive. Two new members have been added ito the Porcupine Hockey Club committee which now consists of Dr. Kinsman, president and Messrs FP. Richards, W. Johns, A. Holmes, G. Cross and W. Christie. The Young People‘s Society of the United Church is not meeting on Thursday of this week owing to the grand variety concert being put on that night. This promises to be one of the best things given here in a long time. The Trelawney Quartette of the Schuâ€" macher Choir which made such a hit with music lovers at the band concert is to be one of the main features, beâ€" sides the comedy play, ‘That Rascal Pat," by wellâ€"known talent. Mr. W. Rose, of Timmins, the best violin soloâ€" ist heard here in many years (and we have had some exceptionally gocod ones) has consented to appear on the programme. Mrs. W. Christie, who has recently come to the Dome to reside, will also be heard as a vocal soloist. The Majestic theatre will only accomâ€" modate a certain number, so be sure to be there on time and make sure of getting in for this evening‘s entertainâ€" ment. An accident that might have had much more serious results occurred when two cars skidded into each other on the Timmins road on Friday evenâ€" ing last, one of the cars turning comâ€" pletely round before it turned a somerâ€" sault into the ditch. The four occuâ€" pants, two men and two ladies, comâ€" ing to the dance at South Porcupine, while somewhat shaken up, escaped injury and later came up to the dance, despite the shock to their nerves. Both cars were considerably damaged. Mrs. Russell Cameron is in the Porâ€" cupine Presbyterian hospital suffering from acute indigestion and a nervous breakdown. The concert given by the Goldfields Band in the Majestic theatre on Sunâ€" day night was very well attended and a pleasing programme given under the leadership of Mr. T. Pappone. The band selections included: "O, Canada," "Gladiator‘s Farewell," "The New Dawn," "Spanish Serenade,‘ "Operatic Mingle,‘ "Invergil," "Over There," "Father of Victory‘" and "God Save the King." The Trelawney Male Quartette from th> Schumacher Choir were preâ€" sent and made a very favourable imâ€" pression, being repeatedly recalled, so the chairman announced they would be heard again on Thursday night. The violin solos by Mr. M. Rose who has taken over the Birrell Bell studio in Timmins, are considered by many to have been the best ever heard here. He proved himself a master of techâ€" nique as well as of harmony. He, too, will be one of the artists at Thursâ€" day‘s variety concert. He was accomâ€" panied on the piano by Mr. Spragge, of Schumacher. The Italian Trio, mandolin, banjo, with guitar accomâ€" paniment, given by J. Fera, Tony Acâ€" quiino and Pete Cosange, was recalled the fourth time. Mrs. M. Bessette‘s wonderful soprano voice was heard to good advantage in Millard‘s "Hear us, O, Father." â€"As an encore she sang "Just a Little Love." Mr. M. Smith, Sr.., was her accompanist. Mrs. M. Thomas was strongly encored when she sang "Ferfume of Roses," and as enâ€" core gave "Love." She was accompanâ€" ied on the piano by Miss Irene Armâ€" strong. Mr. H. M. Wilson was a moSt efficient chairman. The only discorâ€" dant note was the‘ continuous chatter of a number of children who come there unzrccompanied by narents, It TO SAFEGUARD CHILOREN FROM DIPRTHERIA DANGER Children of Preâ€"School Age May Reâ€" ceive Inocwlation Against Diphâ€" theria at the Clinic on Wednesâ€" day Afternoon During January and February. With the coâ€"operation of parents and others the town of Timmins may soon be practically immune from chance of diphtheria. Thanks to the work of the: Meéedical Health Officer, the other docâ€" tors and others concerned the town has been comparatively free from this dreaded dissase. There have been a . few cases of it, however, and Dr. Moore, M.H.O., would stop even single case, if possible. Further, the health auâ€" thorities here are anxious to coâ€"operâ€"â€" ate fully in the nationâ€"wide movement referred to frequently in The Advance to compeltely eliminate diphtheria, Medical science has discovered an inâ€" oculation that gives immunity for life {from diphtheria. With any general adoption of this inoculation, diphâ€" theria would scoon be a thing of the past. It has been tried and tested fulâ€" ly and found a sure preventative of the disease. It is without ill effects or afâ€" effects and is harmless as well as. useful. The inoculation has been givâ€" en in the schools here to all children whose parents have signified their apâ€" proval. The same plan has been carâ€" ried out in the township of Tisdale with. equally gratifying results. Now the board of health of the town of Timâ€" mins has arranged to offer the inocuâ€" lation to children of preâ€"school age. It may be noted that small children suffer practically no pain or inconvenience from the inoculation, and they are fully guarded from diphtheria for the term of their life. The treatment is considered especialy successful in the case of small children. Under present methods of administering there does not appear to be the slightest danger to small children from the treatment, and it is especially efficacious with youngsters of preâ€"school age. To helm on further the general immunization of Timmins from any danger of diphtheria children of preâ€"school age may receive free inoculation against diphtheria at the clinic, Fourth avenue, on Wednesâ€" day afternoons between 1.30 and Z o‘clock during the months of January and February, 1931. PEOPLE ON MAPLE ST. sSOUTH ANNOYED BY PEEPING TOMS Several complaints have been made recently by residents of Maple street, south, in regard to a male being, or whatever the proper term may be, anâ€" rcying people by peeping in windows at night. Ladies have been frightened by seeing a face at the window, outside and men resident on Maple sireet, south have been much provoked by this peeping Tom, or Toms, if there are more than one outfit at this game. In some cases it was thought that the peepâ€" ing might be due to an idea of getting locations for theft or burglary, but in other cases this did not seem probable. In one or two cases the pulice were notified and found the tracks of this fellow alongside the window but though the response of the police was very prompt the peeper had gone before they could arrive. The peeping Tom is a type of nuisance that is most annoyâ€" ing and harmful,, his practice often causing serious fright to women and children, and when caught he need exâ€" pect nothing but harsh treatment all lround. made it most difficult for some of the artists. In fact one of the band offiâ€" cials told us that several artists have refused to take part in their concerts while the children gather down at the front of ithe theatre and keep up such and also for someone to take over the hot dog stand. They will receive tenâ€" ders for these up to and including Saturday. In the list of sympathetic offerings to Mr. Train and family we omitted the following last week:â€"Mr. and Mrs. H. Montrose, Mr. and Mrs. J. Huot, Mr. and Mrs. Schmelze, Mrs, Hansen, Mrs. Melville, Mr. and Mrs. Kaufman, Mr. and Mrs. S. Pearce, Mr. and Mrs,. G. Cross, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Train (Coâ€" balt), Mr. R. C. Vaughan, Mr. and Mrs. D. McLellan, Mr. and Mrs. Irving (Timâ€" mins), Mr. and Mrs. A. Ewing. The new rink committee held a meeting on Tuesday night. It has been decided to have public skating only three nights a weekâ€"Tuesday, Thursâ€" days and Saturdays, also on Saturday afternoon. There will be free skating for children Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m. and on Saturday from 2 p.m. to.4 p.m. On the other nights the rink will be available for skating clubs, private parâ€" ties and hockey matches. They are asking for tenders for a rink manager and also for someone to over the hot dog stand. They will receive tenders for these up to and including Saturâ€" day.
