Another very sociable dance and social cevening held here ten years ago was the Rose Ball on New Year‘s Eve under the auspices of Timmins Golden Chapâ€" ‘ter Daughters of the Empire. This ball was a notable success, every detail havâ€" ing been very carefully arranged and ‘nothing left overiooked to make for the success and pleasure of the oceasion. "The «decorations of the hall were unâ€" usually effective and artistic and drew very enthusiastic comments from all atâ€" tending. The music for the evening was furnished by Colombo‘s orchestra and was specially attractive. Re‘reshâ€" ments and all other Teatures were up to the usual high standards of the LO.D.E. There was a particularly large crowd present and all delighted with the evenâ€" ing‘s event. This was the second anâ€" nual Rose Ball and it was even more pleasing than the success of the previâ€" ous year. The election for mayor and eouncilâ€" lors for the town of Timmins for 1921 was a lively one. There were two candidates for mayor, Dr. J. A. KMKelinâ€" nis winning over A. Brazeau, 25% votes to 136. E. L. Longmore headed the poll for couneillors receiving 235 votes, L. 8. Newton being second with 184 votes, and T. F. King, J. E. Sulilvan, J. Morâ€" in and E. 8. Noble being the other councillors elected. W. DuFeu, R. D. Robertson and D. Laprairie also ran for seats on the council. Mr. DuFeu reâ€" ceived 160 votes, which was only 5 votes behind the number secured by the sixth man elected to the board. The Adâ€" vance, while commenting on the exâ€" In this column reference is made to the winning by Timmiins of the first game with Iroequois Falls in the N.O. H.A. Senior hockey. Timmins also won the second game which was played at Iroquois Palls, the score ‘being 5 to 4. About 250 from Timmins went to the Falls for the game, which was a gooe one and plehased the fans. The visitors from here were dGelighted with the magnificent new rink just erected at the Palls. The Advance suggested that smoking in the rinks be discontinued during hockey matches as a benefit to the players. "While the smoking may be a comfort to the smokers, they would surely be willing to forego that pleasure rather than interfere with the somfort of the players," said The Advance. The first Gdance given by the Caleâ€" donian Society of Timmins was held in the Masonic hall on January 4th. 1921. It was a very successful and enjoyable event. There was a large attendance and the evening proved out of the orâ€" dinary. In addition to the usual moâ€" dern dances there were a umber of Old Country dances that proved very inâ€" teresting. These included:â€"Circassian Oircle, Schottische, Rye Waltz, Lancers, Sceotch Reel, Reel 0‘ Tulloch, "Rolling Home to Bonnie Scotland," etc. D. Mackie, viceâ€"president of the society, acted as chairman for the evening. Solos of merit were given by Mrs. J. R. Todd and Mrs. J. K. Moore; there was a very interesting reading by M. B. Bcott; Mr. Rattray kept the crowd laughing with his monologue; "Scotty" Wilson in Highland dances simply brought down the house; music by Mr. Deeming on the violin and by the Caleâ€" donian orchestra, with Mrs. J. W. Faithful at the piano, found special appreciation. The president of the society, Frank Lamb, took occasion to refer to the pleasure of the society at the election of one its members, Dr. J. ‘A. McInnis,â€"asâ€"mayor of Timmins for 1921. ©(The ladies received great credit for the success of the arrangements made for this dance and for the reâ€" freshnhments served. t i. A I, . 6 .

TEN YEARS AGO IN TIMMINS *4 #* + # #4 *4 #, *# *#* # es * *#* ## *# *, 4# * # *4 *4 #4 eb * #4 *# # ce #, # *4 toste #*4 2241 #, .®, + From data in the Ponzcupinc Advance Fyles, Ten years ago The Advance featured an interview with R. A. McInnis, preâ€" siient of the Northern Ontario Assoâ€" cilated Boards of Trade, and manager of the Abitibi Power and Paper Co. "Whe‘ther the North Country is to be developed immediately or to be delayed for years depends a good deal on the people of ‘the North themselves," saic Mr. McIinnis. He pointed out that, in the past the big industries as they got started and developed went to the Govâ€" ernment with their individual needs, and some of them were granted, but there has never been a united presenâ€" tation of the facts as regaras the reâ€" sources of the province if it is to be developed with the rapidity that its resources warrant. ‘"The timg for inâ€" dividual effort is past," said Mr. MciIinâ€" nis. ‘"Now is the time for united acâ€" tion. The big enterprises of the North have everything at stake; their rea: success depends on the development of the North Land and all its resources. In their own interests, and even from the selfish standpoint, they should take an active interest in anything that will advance the interests of the norâ€" thern part of the province. The more the North is developed the more it is to their advantage. The development of agriculture, for instance, is second only to their own particular enterprises. The food and produce to feed the large working communities of the various inâ€" dustries should not have to come by exâ€" pensive freight route from the South; it should come from next door, as it were, fresh and new. The laboutr should not come from the South but from farms nearby. In this way living will not only be cheaper but better and the labour market will be stabilized to the benefit of worker, to the farmer, to business and to indusâ€" try." Mr. McInnis went on â€"to show that the Associated Boards of Trade were trying to do something to hasten development of this part of the province. He thought that here was an opportunity for the big industries. They could get behind the plans of the Assoâ€" clated Boards. They would not need to do so from philanthropic reasons, Mt. McInnis said, for if they looked at the situation squarely they would see that it would be money in their packets to back up the boards of trade in their campaign. The Advance pointed out that with Mr. McInnis‘ advice followed, and all the big industries, the business men and the people in general working together through some common mediâ€" um such as the Associated Boards of Trade, the North would certainly forge ahead and prosper and progress. The Advance ten years ago noted that Geo. Gray, of the Dome Mines staff, had taken over the management of the Canadian Associated Goldfields Mining Company, of Larder Lake The Advance noted that Mr. Gray was considered one of the best mining men in the camp and that with fair support he would make a success of the Assoâ€" clated Goldfiekis. ~"Mr. Gray will be much missed in the Porcupine," said The Advance at the time, "for baseball without good old Geo. Gray does not look like a possibility in the South End district. He was the star pitcher of the district in the opinion of a great many baseball fans, and all are agreed that he is as good and agreeable a sport as may be found in many days‘ jJourney. His ability in mining work is also reâ€" cognized as excellent by all who know him and his work. He gave splendid service at the Dome and in his new position will no doubt prove equally sucessful." In the township of Tisdale elections for 1921, 0. V. Gallagher was reâ€"elected that men like Messrs DuFeu and D. Laâ€" prairie, who had given excellent service on the council during the previous year should be defeated in the year‘s conâ€" test. The byâ€"law regarding the incinâ€" erator, voted on at the election, was passed by a very large majority, 117 voting for and 36 against, or over three to one in favour of the byâ€"law. Speaking of municpal elections, The Advance noted that John Vanier was elected mayor of Iroquois Falls for 1921, the councillors elected for the paper collence of the men elected, regretted _***, The first meeting of the public school board for 1931 will be held in the Cenâ€" tral public school on Friday evening of this week at 7 p.m. After the preliminâ€" ary meeting the regular monthly meetâ€" ings of the board will be held on the third Monday of each month commentâ€" ing at 7 pm. in the Central public school. year‘s success." "His many friends in the camp will regret to learn that J. E. Cook has been confined to the hocuse for a wsek or more. Recentiy, in havâ€" ing a troublesome tooth extracted, he sustained an injury to one of the bones of his mouth with the result that for many days he was unable to leave the hcuse. The fact that he was unable to address a single meeting of the electors or get out among the ratepayers during the election campaign, no doubt had its effect upon the vote. There will be very few, however, of those who voted for him, or those who voted against him, or those who didn‘t vote at all, who will not sincerely wish him an early and complete recovery from his present illness." "A petition is being circulated for the extension of the T. N. 0. from Swastika to Westree." "Hec MacLean, of New Liskeard, broâ€" ther of J. D. MacLean, formerly town foreman and deputy fire chief, came to Timmins last week and joined the staff of the Hollinger as well as being added to the strength of the Timmins Volunâ€" teer Fire Dept."

J. MeAulay was reâ€"elected mayor of Haileybury by acclamation." "C. P. Charlebois, of the St. Anthony Mine, on the Transconâ€" tinental west of Cochrane, was a visitor to the camp over the holiday. Mtr. Charlebois believes that the gold inausâ€" try is just entering its most promising and prosperous days and that a decided boom is coming. Mr. Charlebois was formerly manager of the Newray Mine." "New Liskeard this year has elected two lady members to the school board, Mrs. E. M. Gold and Mrs. McKnight being elected by acclamation." "R. F. Franâ€" cis spent the holidays at his home in New Liskeard." "The fine new school at Moneta is fast nearing completion. It is one of the finest school buildings in the North Land and is a credit to the people of Moneta and to the townâ€" ship of Tisdale." "Earl Acton, one of the popular oldâ€"timers of the Porcuâ€" pine, is visiting in the camp this week and is being very heartily welcomed here by many old friends. Mrs, Acton and daughters are at present visiting in Toronto, but may later visit the Porcupine. Mr. Acton was well known and popular here in the early days as a member of the Bank of Toronto stafft and was also with the Dome Mines for a time. He went south in 1916 and was manager of one of the Sterling Bank branches." EIGHTâ€"THOUSAND MILE TRIP FOR TWG TIIMINS CHILDK A friend of The Advance this week handed in a interesting clipping from The Birmingham Daily Mail of Birmâ€" ingham, England. The clipping shows a haltâ€"tone photo of Mrs. Alico Pullin, of Wickwar, near Bristol, England, toâ€" gether with a baby formerly of Timâ€" mins. The picture is headed:â€""Eightâ€" thousand mile dash to save two childâ€" ren," and beneath the picture is paraâ€" graph reading as followings:â€""Mtrs. Alice Pullin, of Wickwar, n°ar Brisâ€" toi, made a dramatic dash to Timmins, Ontaric, in order to bring the two young children of her brother back to Bristol General hospital for treatment. One child is at present recovering in the hospital, and the other is well enough to have left hospital and is now with Mrs. Pullin at her Wickwar cotâ€" tage. Photo taken yesterday shows Mrs. Pullin with hker rephew, "Jimmy," outside her cottage." FIRST MEETING OF PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD ON FRKIDAY A Kirkland Lake youngster, two years old, playing with matches, started a fire at her home Christmas week. The mother was burned on the hands and neck, though not seriously so, while putting out the blaze in the curtains and furniture. A neighbour extinguâ€" ished the fre by the use of a fire exâ€" tinguisher. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€"*"J. W. Ecclestone spent New Year‘s at his home at Brazebridge." "Geo. wW. Lee, acting chairman of the T. N. O., told a Toronto newspanetr that the profits of the railway for 1920 were about $300,.000.00, which was nearâ€" ly a quarter mil‘ion more than the preâ€" ceeding year. Despite increased wages, higher prices for coal and other handiâ€" caps the railway under manageâ€" ment of Mr. Lee achieved the best year‘s success." "His many friends in the camp will regret to learn that J. E. Cook has been confined to the hcuse for a wsek cor more. Recent!y, in havâ€" reeve by a larger majority than ths previous year. E. Kimberley (Moneta) headed the poll for councillors, the others elected being F. Laforest, C. B. Morgan, and Harry Leng. a THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO Geo. D. Mallon, section foreman at Swastika, is becoming famous for two hobbies he has. One is the raising of roses and another is the raising of wild pheasants. Mr. Mallon says there are now 200 wild pheasants in the bush near Swastika and he asks the coâ€"operâ€" ation of all in the protecting these birds for a few years to give them a chance. Mr. Mallon‘s roses at Swastika have won considerable notice. He received a bonus cheque at Christmas from the T. N. O. as a mark of appreciation for many years‘ faithful service to the road, and the special interest he has shown in the work and in the North. "Healy Needham in his McLaughlinâ€" Buick roadster, trying for the first time to blaze a trail through the Northern Ontario bush in the first allâ€"Canada coast to coast motor trip, has been meeting his share of difficulties. After being welcomed to Nakina, far up in Northwest Ontario, he set out again en route to Port Arthur, which he hoped to reach by the New Year. But heavy snow barred his trail, and he had to return and map out a new pathway. Even that route may be impracticable without putting skis on the front axles of his car, which, by the way, was exâ€" amined carefully at Nakina and found to be in perfect mechanical condition, notwithstanding the fact that it had penetrated country into which a car never ventured before." Several enquiries have been made to The Advance in the last week or so in regard to the progress being made by Healy Needham and Gus McManus in their trip by motor across the continâ€" ent without leaving Canadian territory. Re‘erence was made some weeks ago to the reception given the Transâ€"Canâ€" motorists at Nakina where they were hailed with hearty enthusiasm as the first motorists to enter that town by auto from the outside world. They were given a banguet by the Nakina people and stayed for a Ccay or two,. a.â€" ter which they set out for Port Arthur. t was their intention to cross Lake Nipigon on the ice, and this plan was in view wlien they left Naltna. Since then, however, oflicial word has reachâ€" ed The Advance that deep snow preâ€" vented the original plan from being folâ€" lowed, and the pair of adventurous moâ€" torists had to return to Nakina and start off by another route. They are still confident that they will make the Transâ€"Canada trip all right. The worst of their journey is now over and they have only a comparatively short stretch of difficult country to pass beâ€" fore they reach the system of completâ€" ed roads. The official word in the matter received last week reads as folâ€" lows:â€" Transâ€"Canada Motorists Have to Change Route T FPICTURES AT T HE/IR BE | c THURS., FRI.
