ROSS SECOND SECTION AWNINGS Phone 416 Timmins Ontario -39- 43 I The next regular meeting of the 'I‘im~ mms town council is scheduled for Monday afternoon, 'Jan. 12th, 1931. ommencing at 4 pm. | Early this week a canvas was made {of the wholesale houses and retail stores of the town to obtain food for these dinners. The supplies are to be gathered together early next. week and. ldistributed to needy families. The (names of these families are now being |gathered by a committee for that pur- ; pose. In an interview in Toronto iast week. Hon. W. A. Gordon, M.P.. of Haileybury, Minister of Mines for the Dominion, said that. the mining industry of Can- ada had served as the principal stabiliz- ing influence on the business structure of Canada recently. “It is doubtful if any country has witnessed a greater amount of mining progress during the current year than has Canada,” said Mr. Gordon. who .has just returned from a trip to the tPaciflc coast. reviewing mining activi- lties across the Dominion. Following Christmas. however, the plan to obtain clothing will be car- ried out. La Guignoiee will be carried out under the direction of the executive committee. which is representative of all denominations and societies, named to conduct welfare work. A meeting of this body was held late- last week, at which plans were laid for an im- mediate move to make possible the dis- tribution of Christmas dinners this year. fore h: until ' felt to gent. will be bumng out. to DUE in “With the feeling, general at the be- ginning of this year, that 1930 would see curtailment in production of min- erals it is interesting to note near the close of the year, that the quantity of metal production is substantially high- er than for the year 1929, and had met- al market prices been on a level with last year. the value of production would set a new record. Quantity, however, is the proper unit to be used to measure activity, and Canada’s mining industry has accordingly experienced a very ac- tive year. This activity has not been concentrated on production. The year has set. a new record for the amount of new construction work undertaken and completed." French‘Canadian Custom ~ Being Rcvwed m Rouyn (From The Northern News) An old French-Canadian custom is to be revived in Rouyn during the Christmas week when “La Guignolee,” a time honoured ceremony will be car- ried out. La Guignolee dates back for many years and wa. sorigin-ally started by the St. Vincent, de Paul Society. W “Now that, the present year is so far advanced it is possible to review the progress made in the mining industry and to make comparisons with the year 1929. “In December of last year, indus- trialists, economistis and other were much concerned as to the outlook for the present year.” Mr. Gordon said. “A period of prOSperity had run its course and activities in general. were at a low ebb. Those whose interests were link- ed with the welfare of Canada’s min- ing industry had perhaps more reason than others to be dubious of the pros- pects for the present year. Mining securities had been receding in value for some time, partly because of a necessary readjustment consequential to a period of feverish speculation. and also because of a recognition that met- als were being produced at a rate that was out of line with consumption de- mands. The reduction in the prices 01 most of the base metals and silver that followed did not help to improve the situation. Late in 1929 the stage was set for an ideal period of depression in all lines of industrial activity. Un- der such circumstances it would have been justifiable to have predicted a year of lessened mining activity. “Despite increased capital invested in expansions, most of the mining companies are able to show a reason- able profit. Because of this creditable performancethe Canadian mining in- dustry has served as the principal stabilizing influence on the business structure of the country. Hon. W. A. Gordon. of Haileybury.

This should have read “the store of 1000 gifts.” THE STORE OF A THOUSAND GIFTS, NOT A HUNDRED GIFTS During the period, gross earnings of the line amounted to $4,959,552.10 and net earnings to $949,989.15. These earnings represent a decrease of $9.929 and $7700 respectively. from the earn- ings of the previous year, but in view of an increased interest payment of $60,000 which the railway made this year and an unexpected expenditure of between $150,000 and $200,000 on storm damage and wash-out, the 1930 earnings are con; sidered very satisfactory, said Mr. Lee. The railway, out of net earnings this year, forwarded to the Ontario Govern- ment a cheque of $850. 000. In 1929, this annual cheque amounted to $1- 100000. No railroad in Canada had a better financial year than the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway for the fiscal twelve months of 1929-30, in the opinion of George W. Lee, chairman of the T. N. 0.. who conferred with Premier G. S. Henry at Toronto on Thursday last. EARNINGS OF THE T. N. O. PROVE VERY SATISFACTORY In the advertisement for A. J. D.

It is also charged that unjust criticism has been levelled at the head of Mr. Wright. President of the Northern Associated Boards of Trade. Speaking for our- selves we have to say that there is not a word of truth in either of these charges; nor have we found opporbious reading in either of the other papers mentioned, on the subject of the high- way or on any other subject. But they are abundantly able to take care of themselves. However, we have to ad- mit that if it is a Trans-Canada high: way the country is looking for we arei still of the same opinion as we were when the Associated Boards of Trade held their meeting last summer at Cochrane.” STILL OF SAME OPINION ON TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY There was a large attendance at the concert on Wednesday evening last in the Salvation Army hall. and all pres- ent certainly enjoyed the evening im- mensely. The programme was one of unusual attraction, each and every number being given with effectiveness and skill. Mayor Geo. S. Drew presid- ed for the evening and the big gather- ing was delighted with his chairman- ship. He was interesting, witty, hu- morous and helpful in his opening ad- dress and in his comments as the pro- gramme progressed. The mayor him- self enjoyed the evening, there being a jolly friendliness about Salvation Army events, and so everybody had a pleasant and interesting time at the grand con- cert by the Salvation Army talent last week. Ca *3. Ford introduced the ma- yor after the opening song and prayer. and then following a programme that greatly pleased all, each and every item being generously applauded on merit. The programme, following the chair- man‘s remarks was as foll-owszâ€"“Song of Welcome," by the Sunday School; recitation by Eileen Clegg; Sunday School acrostic, by twelve boys and girls; dialogue, “The Christmas Spirit"; recitation, by Violet Jones; club swing- ing, electric, by Mrs. Paterson (a novel- ty of great interest); “Action Son,” by twelve girls; “The Figures”; recitation. by Ben Stevens; “ ‘tar Drill"; recita- tion, by Winnie Stevens; song. by the girls; “Brownie’s Drill,” by Little Tots; dialogue, “A Christmas Episode”; re- citation, by Oliver Nichols and Eileen Blarkel; musical march; benediction.

' This year pa1ticular care was taken in going through the lists of those for jwhom hampers were asked. The idea i was to see that all needy and deserving cases were sent a hamper, while those not actually in need or not deserving did not receive a hamper that should ,go elsewhere. All cases are very care. §fully investigated. Lists of deserving cases were received from the Child- ren’s Aid Society, the legion, the clergy- men of the town and district, the Town of Timmins relief department, the Township of 'I‘isdale, the Salvation Army, the K. of C. and others. A com- ,mittee went over these lists very care- fully and duplications were removed, and then the lists left scrutinized. There were a number that were found on some of the lists to be scarcely en- titled to the hampers. As 1a result [there may be some disappointments, but the committee decided on fair basis and to the best of its ability from the facts as known. Some examples .will show the difficulties encountered by the com- mittee. In one case there were three families living in the one house, but in these three families there were only four children, and- two men in the house were at steady work. There had been application for three boxes for these three families. but the commit- tee decided that there were many more deserving cases. but that if there were a hamper to spare it might be sent to the house. Another application for a .mmper was found to be for a young staple who had only one small child 1nd the man of the house. about 25 or 26 y:ars of age. was working.

There is a total of over 12,000 pounds of food in the hampers sent out this year. There are turkeys in all ham- pers sent out, to families with four per- sons or more. Some of the turkeys weigh as much as 15 pounds. This year over 195 hampers were packed and delivered. Of this number 105 were for families in Timmins, 65 fer Tisdale, and 20 were expressed to out- side places in the Porcupine camp. in- cluding Drinkwat-er Pit, Connaught, Porquis Junction, Nellie Lake.
