As long as fifteen years ago The Adâ€" ‘ vance urged the organization of A, Children‘s Aid Scciety in Timmins.| There was only the Temiskaming C.A.| S. to look after all this North Land and i the need for something more dxrectly| in touch with cases in this area was | very apparent. O‘ten R. LeHeup, | superintendent of the Temiskaming | Society would visit here and eachâ€" visit would be made the occasion for urging the formation of a Children‘s Aid Soâ€"| ciety here. Eventually, ten years ago, a number of those interested called a‘ mesting to organize a branch here. In | this connection, The Advance in it.9| issue of Feb. 9th, 1921, said:â€"*"‘The need for an active branch of the Childâ€". ren‘s Aid Society in this district has, been apparent for some time past. The Advance in years past has recratedly emphasized the néed, and Mt. K.# L. LeHeup, the Inspector of the Temisâ€" kaming CA.S., has made several efâ€" forts to establish an organization here, The Temiskaming Branch of the C.A. S. with headquarters at Haileybury has been handicapped in dealing with the work here on account of the immense territory attempted to be covered. Ssuch immense territory as that now left to the sole attention of the Temisâ€" kaming C.A.S. could not be possibly covered effectively by one organization and the one agent with means now at command. The Porcupine Camp offers great opyortunities for very effective work for a branch. Rev. Mr. Parks and others here have interested themâ€" selves in the matter and the result is that a public meeting has been called for organization. This meeting will be held in the Council Chambers, Timâ€" mins, tomorrow (Thursday) evening at 8 o‘clock, and all good citizens are earnestly requested to attend and asâ€" sist. His Worship the Mayor recogâ€" nizes the usefuiness of the C.A.S. and is accordingly interested in the work here. Rev. Fr. Therriault is another prominent citizen interested in the work and expected to be present. The police magistrate for the district, Mr. S. Atkinson, is an enthusiast regarding CAS. work and is a lover of children and a believer in giving them a fair chance as the best means to having good citizenship. Mr. Atkinson will be at the meeting tomorrow evening. Mr. C. G. Williams, Dr. Moore and cothers have also shown a strong interest in the work and its possibilities and the meetâ€" ing tomorrow night will be large and a representative one." w o e t i C Reference was made in The Advance of Feb. 9th, 1921, to the illness of Jess Spring, one of the expert hockey team here at that time. He was taken ill at a hockey game at New Liskeard and when medical attention was given him the case was promptly diagnosed as appendicitis. He was hurried to the hespital where he was operated upon uy Drs. McNaughton and Mitchell. The operation was eminently succesful and Jess was very soon on the way to comâ€" plete recovery. The Advance ten years ago said:â€" "There was much general regret and sorrow among all those who knew him, when it was learned that Mr. William Scheidel, one of the shift bosses at the Hollinger, had pased away on Friday last. The deceased was only about 27 years old and had apparently been enâ€" joying his usual health during the days previous to his death. He seemed in his ordinary health and quiet good humour when coming off the night shift. He had breakfast, as usual, then sat for some time with some friends chatting. Then he went into the bunk house to have his sleep, and from his sleep he did not awaken. Apparently he passed away during his rest, no one noticing anything unusual until well on in the afternoon. Between three and four c‘clock some friends went into the bunkâ€"house to speak to him and after calling him without receiving any answer, made the discovery that he was dead. Death was due to heart failure. The deceased has been at the Hollinger for the past two or three years and has been popular and highly regarded by all who came in contact with him. He was of a quiet but very likeable disâ€" position and has hosts of friends around the Hollinger and the camp. His home was in Waterloo, Ontario, and the remains were taken there for interment, leaving here on Saturday evening. His father is expected to visit the camp in the course of the next week or two." Another death in the camp ten years ago was that of J. R. Loughton, of Moneta, who was well known those days in the town and the camp generâ€" ally, In referring to this death The Advance said:â€""Joseph Patrick Loughâ€" ton, for over three years resident of the camp and well known as a teamster and employee of the livery stables here, passed away at an early hour on Tuesâ€" day morning, the primary cause of death being goitre. The deceased young man was only twenty years old at the time of his death. He was born in Quebec province where his parents still reside. One brother lives in Monâ€" eta. The deceased was well known in the district and well liked and there will be a general regret at his sad and early death." Ten years ago The Advance had a good word to say for the plst office here. The Advance has always been ready and eager to say a good word for the post office if that place deserved it â€"â€"PBelicve it or not. But the occasions iing | isit ing Soâ€" ago, d a w 4P wesek th gcod pl until nit holders terial c is very a AAiÂ¥fiAn recently have been all too rare. Ten years ago The Advance said:â€""The general public and especially the busiâ€" ne:s interests of the town are very pleased at the added convenience afâ€" f<rded now by the Timmins post office in keeping the office open each night o~ the use of all boxâ€"holders. Last week the post office inaugurated this gcod plan of having the lobby open until nine o‘clock each evening. Boxâ€" holders are finding this of vtery maâ€" terial convenience to them and there is very general artpreciation of ~this addition to the public service." The Advance had urged such a service and was well pleased, as was the town in general, to see the nublic convenienced as they were by this new p‘an. Because so many are interested in the work and progress of fraternal and cther societies and; clubs, The Adâ€" vance has always given space and atâ€" tenticn to events of this kind. In The Advance ten years ago there was this item:â€""‘Thursday evening last, the Columbus Club of Timmins enjoyed very pleasing banquet in King‘s hall. There were about 75 members present for the event, and the evening was a thoroughly enjoyable one. The banâ€" auet was most enjoyable in its profusâ€" ion of fine things to eat. Rev. Father O‘Gorman, of Cobalt, Grand Knight‘ Nap Servais, Cobalt, and Mr. W. J. T:.ermey, President of the Iroquois Falls: C=:umbus Club, were among the guests ‘r n1 outside points. There were many |rcasing and inspirnig addresses, and the whole evening was one long to be remembered by the Columbus Club." The presentation of the attractive musical comedy, "The Isle of Love," in the New Empire theatre two evenings ten years ago was hailed by The Adâ€" vance as one of the best enterta;xnments given in the camp for some time preâ€" viously. The event was under the ausâ€" pices of the Timmins Chapter of the iDaughters of the Empire and drew large crowds each night. The musical comedy was directed by L. G. Neville and was unusually well presented by the local talent taking part. The leadâ€" ing character parts were taken by:â€" wW. O. Langdon, Mrs. J. T. Easton, H. Taylor, L. G. Neville, Miss Susan Bartâ€" tett,, Mrs. H. Darling, H. Darling, Miss Irene Carswell, Miss R. Wright and Geo. Carson. The beauty chorus inâ€" cluded:â€"Mrs. W. Nicolson, Mrs. Malâ€" cahy, Mrs. W. J. McCoy, Mrs. W. D. Watt, Mrs. J. A. McInnis, Mrs. J. K. Moore, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs P. Teare, Mrs. H. Webb, and Misses Gertrude Riddle, Florence Vary, Mary Downey, Muriel Carswell, Dorothy Dodge, Elizaâ€" both Swalwell, Bella Gowan, Craig Hoggarth, Truth Howard, Alice Ryan, Kathleen Peters, Jean Watt, Lilian Wadsworth, Rose Wraight, Jean Roâ€" berts, Gladys Lytle, Laura Brazi>au, Marion Fligg, Margaret Cole,Nora Kenâ€" nedy, Pearl Kennedy, Marie Dufour. The Advance gave special notice to the sweet singing of Mrs. J. T. Easton, Miss Craig Hoggarth and others; the deâ€" lightful song and dance number by Mr. and Mrs. Darling; the caprible leading work of H. Taylor; the doll chorus, with the wonderful length and luxuriâ€" ance of the beautiful hair on one of the dolls (Mrs. Nicolson); the hit made by Mrs. J. K. Moore and her assistants in the Overall Chorus; the outstanding work of Miss Irene Carswell in one of the difficult comedy parts of the show; the ability of Miss Bartlett in carrying one of the hardest roles in the event; the value of the work of Mrs. J. W. Faithful, the musical directress of the event. Ten years ago The Advance noted the fact that P. M. Bardessono had been in Cochrane for some days and as a result the Rialto theatre in that northern town had been purchased by the Empire Theatre Co., Ltd., of Timâ€" mins. It was further noted that E. P. Colombo (translated in the item as "Gene Colombo," so that all might know who was really meant) would be the manager of the Cochrane theatre so acquired. The Advance must have been looking for trouble at the time for The celebrated young radio dramatist who is producing the series of broadcast plays written by Merrill Denison, on the Roâ€" mance of Canadian history and going on the air from the Canaâ€" dian National Railways‘ transâ€" ?ontinental chain, Thursday evenâ€" ngs. ce it coolly described Cochrane as "a setâ€" tlement on the T. N. 0. extension to James Bay, about four miles north of Nahma." There was a lively time at the fire enguiry at Matheson ten years ago. There was a meeting of the commission of enquiry into the cause of the burnâ€" ing of the town of Matheson in 1916. The claim of the people of Mathneson was that the fire was caused by sparks from the T. N. O. This thsory was strongly cbjected to by the railway. At the session referred to, one of the witâ€" nesses was Bob Dougles who had 1 couple of clashes with the counsel for he railway. Most of the Matheson witnesses suggested that the town was burned out before the bush fire came along. Others, however, disputed this, cne lady saying that the whole counâ€" try sesmed on fire. The enquiry was adjourned indefinitely, after large amount of evidence had been taken. Ten years ago The Advance unearthâ€" ed a hidden but very important item in the report of a council meeting at Hailâ€" eybury. ‘Phe council report mentioned incidentally that it had bezn brought to the attention of the Haileybury a very serious matter and should have all possible publicity either to disprove the charge or to assure protection of the public by proper quarantine of the »oc:t office in question. The health auâ€" thorities took up the question promyly and the necessary steps were taken to assure public safety from chances Cf ‘nfection. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years ago were the following:â€""Miss Nina King has reâ€" turned to her home in Toronto after visiting friends in Timmins for a few weeks." "Doris Catherine Carmichael, the nineâ€"years old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Carmichael, of Cobalt, died "Mr. W. Ellis is on a business visit to Montreal and Toronto and other points south and east." "Flying Officer Stanâ€" ley Garvin, of the Canadian Air Force stationed at Camp Borden, is visiting his uncle, Mr. Geo. Lake." "There was a large crowd and a very happy evening at the dance in the Mcintyre Recreaâ€" tion hall, Schumacher, on Monday evening. The big crowd found the new hall a good place indeed for a dance, and the event was much enjoyed by on Saturday evening from diphtheria. Her father was working at Kapuskasâ€" ing at the time of the sad death." council that a case of smallpox existed in a post office in Lorrain tormship. The Advance pointed out that tmis was all. A number from Timmins and other neighbouring places enjoyed the pleasures of this good dance in the well equipped recreation hall at Schuâ€" macher." "Mr. F. Lamb was visitor to Montreal last week." ‘"Messrs H. wW. Hooker and J. Wray left last week for their homes in Galt where they will spend two or three weeks." ‘"Timâ€" mins still needs a curling rink. As Jimmy would say, "What atbtaht it?" "Paddy Farrell, a wellâ€"known characâ€" ter around here, was committed to an hospital for the insane at the police court last week. He had been acting peculiarly for some time and eventualâ€" ly reached the stage when restraint was imposed upon him." "Mr. and Mrs. L. G. NeVille, who so successfully conducted the presentation of the musical comedy, ‘"The Isle of Love," under the auspices of the LO.D.E. left week for North Bay where the show will next be staged." "All will regret to learn that Mr. E. W. Johnston, bandmaster of the Timmins Citizeéns‘ Band, is laid up with an attack of pneumonia. There will be @ general hope for his early recovery. He is beâ€" ing cared for at Nurse Moffatt‘s." "The Chautauqua Circle event at the New Empire theatre on Wednesday evening iast proved generally somewhat of disappointment. "The Virginia Girls‘" had been rephrted in advance as specially good in singing, elocution and instrumental numbers, and according to press notices the public could lock for something particularly good in these lines. The programme however, while clean and bright and enjoyable, was not special enough to write home about.‘"‘ ‘"Mr. W. Nicolson met with a painful accident last Wednesday while in the Petersâ€"Duncan delivery truck. He was driving near the depot when turning a sharp comer too sharply in his hurry the rig collided with the telepihone post. He was thrown to the ground, sustaining a rather badlyvâ€" broken collar bone. He is able to be out and around again this week as usuâ€" al, with the exception that the one arm is bound stationary." FORMER RESIDENTS BEREAVED BY DEATH OF THEIR SON Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Simpâ€" son, formerly resident here, will regret to learn of the death of their little son reâ€" cently. Mr. Simpson was stationed here some years ago as provincial constable and both he and Mrs. Simpson were highly regarded here and made many friends during their residence in town. The following account of the death of their little son is given by The Haileyâ€" burian in its issue last week :â€"â€" "Sincere sympathy is felt by many Haileybury friends of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Simprhon, former residents of this town, in the death of their little son, aged eight months, which took place oo C CC at t,heirvhome in Burk‘s Falls this week. Mrs. Simpson‘s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Keddie, Latchford Street, received the news of the passing of the little boy yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson were expected to arrive in Haileybury today, bringing the body of the little one for burial here. The boy was one of twins born last year, and the parents for many‘ years residents here. Mr. Simpson is a member of the Ontario Provincial Police and was formerly with the R.CM.P. in Haileybury." THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Despatches last weekyfrom Toronto| refer to an action commenced at C)s-| goode Hall against a firm of brokers by J. P. McLaughlin, formerly a well-l known business man in Timmins and; still with interests in the town andl district. Mr. McLaughlin was one of the first business men in Timmins. While not having the honour of being the first to start building in this townâ€" honour being variously ascribed to the owner of the old International Saloon, to the late H. Peters and to othersâ€"| Mr. McLaughlin was among the first buy a lot in the townsite now known as the thriving town of Timmins but then only a clearing in the bush. Later Mr. McLaughlin‘s erected the building now occupied by the Hollinger Stores. McLaughlin‘s‘store was one of the finest business buildings in all the North andl in the early days of the town was viewâ€" ed with special pride by the town and district. Mr. McLaughlin was a memâ€" ber of the town council for a couple of years and was the town‘s second mayor, the late W. H. Wilson being the first. Some years ago Mr. McLaughlin sold out his large departmental store to the Hollinger when the mine attacked the high cost of living here by starting in business in general merchandise in town and giving it employees a discount of 15 per cent on all purchases. Former Timmins Mayor Enters Suit for $100,000 The despatches from Toronto say that an accounting for shares of stock and moneys involved in stock transâ€" actions and damages of $100,000 are sought in an action that J. P. Mcâ€" Laughlin of Toronto, has begun at Osâ€" goode Hall against Solloway, Mills Co., Isaac W. C. Solloway and Harvey Mills. The writ, issued in Toronto, sets forth that Mr. McLaughlin is seeking an accounting for moneys recieved by defendants from the sale of i1i1,800 shares of stock in Sudbury Basin Mines, Limited, alleged to have been deposited with Solloway, Mills Co., on October 16, 1929, as collateral securâ€" ity for McLaughlin‘s account and to have been converted by the defendants to their own use without the plaintiff‘s This is only one of countless instances of the BIG PERFORMANCE of the marvellously engineered Philco Baby Grand.
