Aldrege Clermont, the twelveâ€"yearâ€" old son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthine Clerâ€" local mont, 154 Pine street, north, died on | by t} Friday of last week, February 6th, after grouy an ilness of only two days. The lad | 4°%4 was taken ill with "flu" and pneumonia * developed, all efforts to save the boy‘s | Ircqu life being unavailing.

As to the blind pigs, he said he had sent all the big blindpiggers to jail. He knew that there were always peorile who objected to the police, but these were probably not so many as they appeared. He said the town was free from drunkenâ€" ness, to which the mayor replied that he saw quite a few drunks around. The chief said there were not nearly as many blind pigs here as in Cochrane for instance. In regard to employees drinking he asked if they were disâ€" charged for this on other departments. He again asked for reason for the atâ€" titude of the council. Mayor Drew said that it was the op.nion of the whole council that conâ€" ditions were not right. He said that fault wa‘ "ound because the police depart:~« t. it moneyâ€"making concern. Councu . ‘*@ant the deâ€" partment conducted on the revenueâ€" making principle, but to keep good law and order and to serve the people. At the same time he mentioned a municiâ€" pality near Toronto where the revenue exceeded the costs of the department, thought this was perhaps due to fines for speeding, etc. The department Boy of Twelve Pass Aftter BriefUliness Mayor Drew said the council had carefully considered the whole matter from all sides at their special session, and the majority of the council were dissatisfiefid with the conditions in town so far as the police department was concerned. There had been a numbzr of complaints as Chief Mcâ€" Lauchlan knew, council having drawn his attention to them on several occasâ€" The whole council sat Monday afterâ€" noon as a committee to deal with the situation, it being considered that all concerned should have a fair hearing in the matter, but that public welfare and the morale of the police force would not be advantaged by having the meeting of the committee a public one. Chief McLauchlan and Deputy Chief Orr were both before the committee. While the council meeting was in proâ€" gress later in the afternoon, Chief Mcâ€" Lauchlan brought the matter up. The chief said that he had been asked for his resignation and he requested that definite reasons for this should be givâ€" en. "I haven‘t heard any general kick from the public," he said, adding that the town compared favourably with other towns in its order and policing. In regard to charges that members of the police force had been intoxicated, he suggested that this was much overâ€" grawn. In one case where this charge had brought to his attention he had investigated and other men on the force had told him the accused man had been ill not drunk. He said the record of the town for law and order was good, better than most towns. "I have been here four years, and I waunt to know how I have been delinquent." The first recent change was indicatâ€" ed several days ago when Chief Mcâ€" Lauchlan gave Deputy Chief Wyman Ort a letter notifying him that his services would not be required after March Iist. This contemplated change was followed last week by the sudden death of Constable McCord after a couple of days‘ illness. Later last week L:o Leblanc was appointed a conâ€" stable, in this regard Chief McLauchâ€" lan explaining to council on Monday, being made on the recommendation of the chairman of the police committes and the appointment being for a month on peobation. During the past ten days or so tnere have been several changes on the police force in town, the situation cuiminatâ€" ing on Monday in the formal request by resolution in council for the resignation 0f Chief McLauchlan, after the whole matter had been thoroughly thrashed cut at a lengthy mseting of the council as a committee of the whole.

Chief McLauchlan said the apâ€" pointment was made with the approyvâ€" al of the chairman of the committee and Councillor Chenier supported this. | The mayor thought this not right, as there had been a number of other apâ€" plications not considered at all. "I was engaged on the direct understanding that I had the power to hire and fire," said the chief. "It was made very plain last year after a similar engageâ€" ment of a police officer that as long as I am mayor I intend to be acquainted with such matters," replied the mayor. The mayor asked the chisf if the newâ€"> lyâ€"appointed man had not been in’ court recently for breach of the law, to which the chief replied that he had! reard so after the appointment, but | no real crime had been concerned, the offence being the alleged possession of moose meat illegally. The chief also pointed out that the aripcintment was temporary one, the new man being on trial for a month. The mayor reâ€" | | Mr. McLauchlan said that being on a monthly basis he should be given noâ€" tice as from March lst, to which the mayor replied that there would be litâ€" tle chance of quarrel about that. On motion of Councillors Richardson and Honey it was decided to ask for the resignation cfi Thief McLauchlan to take effect immeditately, a month‘s salary to be given in lieu of of notice. Councillors Richardson, Honey and Morrison voted for the motion, and Counciliors Caron, Chenier and Chaâ€" teauvert against. Casting his own vote in favour Mayor Drew declared the carried. puty chief was that he had mislaid or lost a couple of search warrants and that no complaint had been made about this at the time. )1 Councillor Morrison said that the only real accusation against the deâ€" complaint about cne of the men being drunk on duty and in charge of a car had not reached him for twentyâ€"four hours. He said that if the deputy chief had thought the man intoxicated in charge of a car it was his duty to arrest the offender and report immediâ€" ately, which he had not done. During the discussion several referâ€" ernces were made to letter sent to Deputy Chief Orr by Chief McLauchâ€" lan and Councillor Morrison wanted to mow why the chief had made certain suggestions in that letter. Councillor Mcorrison also thought that the reaâ€" sons given in the letter were not the cnes really actuating the chief in the matter. Chiefâ€" McLauchlan said that he had spent long years in the secret and had ways of securing inâ€" {crmation. C‘â€"ief McLauchlan referred to the deputy chief as sulking on cccasion, reâ€" fusing to sprak to members of the force when displeased. The deputy chief‘s here, however, seemed td cost toa much for the service cbtained. Councillor Richardson said that the chief‘s services were not satisfac â€"ory, and no cther reason ssemed necessary. The question had been fully deall with by the council and he saw no good purâ€" pose to be achieved by further discusâ€" sion in public. ng artists on the programme Ty allenge has been received from Falls for the T.

Canada." Capt. Ford has a largc‘ number of unusually attractive lantern | slides illustrating a tour of Canada from coast to coast, and his explanaâ€" | tory remarks added very materially to the interest and helpfuiness of the picâ€" tures.

The special feature for Wednesday evening of this week was the anniverâ€" sary turkey supper given by the Ladies‘ Aid. As usual this supper was largely attended, and as usual it fully deserved the largest attendance and was a pleasâ€" ing success from every standpoint. All who attended this happy annual event were delighted with the elegant repast provided by the ladies and the splendid service given. ILLUSTRATED ADDRESS N , TRIP AGROSS DOMNION On Sunday the special anniversary services were conducted by Rev. Bruce Millar and proved unusually pleasing and sttractive. On Sunday morning Rey. Bruce Millar, the minister in charge of the church, preached a parâ€" ticularly interesting and inspiring serâ€" mon. He dealt at some.length with the history of the church in Timmins, its humble beginnings, its early strugâ€" gles and the progress that had folâ€" lowed the loyalty and devotion of its faithful members. From the very inâ€" teresting and informative account he gave of the story of the church he drew the lessons that could be learned and pointed the inspirations for the future. The anniversary events in connecâ€" tion with the United Church, Timmins, this week proved of much interest and attracted much attention. ANNIVERSARY EVENTS A UNITED CHURCH, Addresses by Rev. Bruce Millar on Sunday of Special Interest, Anniâ€" versary Supper Given by Ladies Aid Proves Notable Feature as Usual. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12th, 1931 Boys‘ gymnastics by boys of the High and Vocational Schools added very much to, the interest of the evening and lent further novelty and variety to the evening. Musical selections of particular inâ€" ’terest and merit marked the progress | of the programme. t On the second night presentation was made of the medals and athletic prizes. Owing to the unavoidable absence of J. P. Burke the presentation was made by J. D. MacLean, ancther member of the Vocational Schocl board. The programme each evening was concluded by the singing of "God Save the King." The brief address by S. E. Henry, principal of the school, was a specially helpful feature of the evening. Friday night‘s event was also feaâ€" tured by outstanding violin selections by William Shub and David Horwitz, with Vera Charbonneau playing the piano accompaniments. The dancing by Rose Zarriski, Rachel Vittasaari and Nellie Stachow won the very heartiest of well merited applause. Thos. Blackman presided effectively for the event on Friday evening and opened the proceedings with an interâ€" esting talk on school affairs. Again, a play by the students added very maâ€" terially to the interest and pleasure of the cccasion. Each member of the cast gave a very effective presentation of the role taken and the play itself was of much interest. The cast of this play, "The Dear Departed," includedâ€" Beatrice Dowzer, Jennie Hill, Robert Collins, Donald McLauchlan, Francis Woodbury. At Thursday evening‘s event the chairman was D. Ostrosser, for many year a member of the High School board, who introduced the programme for the evening in fitting manner. Principal S. E. Henry also made a brief address that was helpful to the stuâ€" dents and the others present. Two plays, one in English and one in French, featured the evening. The students presented these with notable talent and the plays: were greatly enâ€" joyed. Those in the cast ‘of "Brothersâ€" inâ€"Arms" were Grant Barron, Mary Williams, Ray Wallingford, R. E. Hoâ€" garth. The cast for "La Pharmacien" included:â€"Emile Clement, Claude Leâ€" jambe, William Shields, Roger Dupuis, Lorraine Charron. The violin solos by David Horwitz and William Shub were remarkably fine numbers. Miss Vera Charbonneau was the accompanist at the piano in each case. Another special feature that was much enjoyed and apâ€" preciated was the gymnastics display by Second Form girls The presentaâ€" tion of departmental certificates to successful students at the June, 1930 examinations was duly made by Mr. Ostrosser. For years past the commencement exercises of the Timmins High and Technical Schools have drawn large nouses and the programmes have been much enjoyed. On Thursday and Friâ€" day evenings of last week the annual event proved even more popular and meritorious than usual. FEach night the ~auditorium of the school was crowded to capacity and all were deâ€" lighted with the remarkably fine proâ€" grammes presented. â€" There was a complete change of programme for each of the two nights and there was not an item on the long list of numâ€" bers that did not win special approval and favourable comment for teachers and pupils alike. It has been custoâ€" mary to charge an admission fee for the commencement exercises, but this year this fee was abolished and simply a collection box left at the door so that any who might desire to contribute for the benefit of the fund for students‘ purposes might do so. The collections thus given last week totalled close to sixty dollars. As the students are planâ€" ning to present plays this year and funds are necessary for costumes, equipment, etc., the dopations at ‘the door will prove specially helpful.

The event was held by the Kiwanees, and the good attendance, and excellent tims each and all had is a splendid tribute to the ladises of this club.

Both teams stepped on the ice minus their regular leftâ€"wing men. Sriznce, of Timmins, was laid up with a broken nose, while Bennett, of the Falls aggregation was off the game for a similar reason. Although the first period opened up with slow hockey, Wimperis scored for the Falls after twelve minutes of play and the score ended that way for the period. Hodnett played another great game in goal for Timmins, having stopâ€" ped 17 shots in the first period, as against 8 stopped by Powers. The main race will start and finish on Miller Lake (more generally termed the Cyanide), across from the T. N. C. station. The race will travel the back road to the West Dome Lake and return, according to the plans anâ€" ncunced last week. This is a change f eccsurse from previous years when the dasg teams went to South Porcupine by the back roard and re‘:urned by the hisgshway, starting and finishing at the corner of Pine street and Third avenue. The new course will have the advantâ€" aze that it will have less general travel to interfere with the dogs. Timmins Lost Monday‘s Game 3 to 1 McKinnon Only Timmins Lad to Sceore.

In addition to the main dog race, usually termed the Porcupine Dog Race and the freight race for dog teams, there will be ski races in the afternoon and carnival at night on Feb. 25th. IROQUOIS FALLS ARDS ON MORE TO HOCKEY VIGIT The boys‘ dog team races will also be run completely on Miller Lake, the varicus lengths desired being secured by the number of times around the course. The committee in charge of the dog race this year intends to have a course kept cpen on the lake for the various events. Conditions and prizes are understood to be about the same as last year. The freight rats course is also to be changed this year. Instead of to Schuâ€" macher and return it will bz threse times around Miller. The advantage expected from this change of course is that it will allow ail the crowd to sese all of this race. As noted in The Advance last week the arrangements for the annual Porâ€" curine Dog Race and Carnival are now under way and it has besn decided to hold the event on Wednssday, Feb.

He made it clearly eviâ€" dent that the present plan at the marâ€" ket was unfair to the merchants who were heavy taxâ€"payers, The cattle were not subjected to sanitary inspecâ€" tion and the meat might be tubercular or otherwise dangerous to the public health. It would be poor econsmy to the market them were A petition signed by 22 local grocery and provision merchants asked counâ€" cil to deal with the sale of meat at the Timmins public market. It was pointâ€" ed out that instead of the meat being brought in for sale by bona fide settlers and farmers the stalls were being used by jobbers, which was unfair to the merchants who were heavy taxâ€"payers. The meat also was not subject to the proper inspection and some of it was unfit for use and might constitute a danger to heatlh. The purpose of the meat market had apparently failed and the middleman selling me market should be required ts A petition signed by eight dairymen asked council to extend the time from May lIst to July 1st for the compulsory piisteurization of all milk sold in town. The mnecessary building operations could not be conveniently carried out at the earlier date on account of frost in the ground. The council felt the request was reasonable and the time will be extended as suggested if this is approved by the Medical Health Offiâ€" cer. The Salvation Army asked permisâ€" sion to hold their annual tag day on May l4th, and permission was duly granted. A Iletter was read from F. Johnson asking the council to publish the disâ€" position made of the fees for the issuâ€" ing of motor licenses during the time that work was done by the town chief of pslice. Mayor Drew said that he was sure that proper returns had been made to the department at Toronto.. G. A.

The council chamber was crowded. many beinrg present with the idea that there were special matiers of interest to come forward. In view of the fact that council had previously met for a couple of hours to discuss police matters in committee, there was not as much disâ€" cussion at the council as some had looked for, but there was considerable of interest nevertheless in the public discussion at the council meeting. A letter was received from the St. John Ambulance Brigade asking the assistance of the council in the cost of fixing up the brigade‘s new quarters on Third avenue. The medical depot was now fully established, and it was felt by the SJ.A.B. that financial assisâ€" tance would be warranted in view of the public service given by the brigade. At the regular meeting of the town council on Monday afternoon the chief questions discussed were:â€"police affairs: the proposal to extend the time for the pasteurization of all milk sold in town from the date first selected, May ist, to July 1st, on account of the fact that the earlier date would not allow time for the necessary building oprmrations as the frost would scarcely be out of thse ground; the question of the abuse ocf market privileges, and the effect of this upon local me:tphants and, the town health.

It would mean a noteworthy saving to the town in inâ€" terest charges. Councillor Richardson, chairman of the finance committee, explained that he had been endeavourâ€" ing for the past two months to secure this advantage from the bank. The usual byâ€"law was passed for the borrowing of money from the bank until the year‘s taxes come in. The limit was set by the byâ€"law at $350,000. "That does not mean that we will borâ€" row that much," said the mayor. "The amount mentioned is $50,000.00 less than the limit set last year," comâ€" mented Councillor Richardson. Mr. Roy appeared before council again in regard to the decided nuisâ€" ance caused by soot froru: the steam baths near his residence. He had lived at his rwresent home for 16 years, and did not think he should be forced to sell out and move to escape the inâ€" jJury caused by the smoke nuisance. The remedy he suggested was the passâ€" ing of a smoke and soot byâ€"law. Counâ€" cillor Morrison, Fire Chief Borland and Town Engineer MacLean told about inâ€" vestigating the case and finding that Mr. Roy was suffering from a nuisance all right. The owner of the baths had promised to try hard coal. This had been found unsuitable and he now proâ€" mised to try wood. It was thought that a mechanical stoker or other deâ€" vice might remedy the situation. Mr. Roy said the owner of the baths had told him that the town had given him a permit to build and he felt he didn‘t care. Mayor Drew said the smoke was a nuisance all right. The use of wood might stop it. The board of works and Mr. MacLean are to go into the matâ€" ter further. Council decided to have Councillors Chateauvert, Chenier and Morrison take up the question with representaâ€" tives of the merchants and report at next meeting. Some questions in regard to back taxes will be taken up at a special meeting to be called for the purpose. Councillor Richardson said that what he objected to was the idea of the middleman using the market without paying a transient traders‘ license or anything else. Councillor Caron pointed out that it would not always be possible for cach farmer to sell meat at the market. Councillor Richardson said it did not seem fair that middlemen should go around buying up meat to sell on the market in competition with merchants paying taxes. "They have to buy from the farmers, anyway," said a settler in the hall. gestion by Mr. Platus that there was omy one bora fide settler selling meat at the market. He knew of three. He was in favour of giving the settlers a chance. The interntion had been to helo the settler in this matter. The meai was all bought from the farmers. Councillor Chenier denied the sugâ€" town.
