«szskthuzuxvnzuxnzu. August 25th, 1921, two hundred teachers from the schools of Old On- tario paid a visit to Timmins on their first annual tour of this country. _ They travelled through the North by Special train under the auspices of the Ontario Educational Association and the Dept... of Eduction. The teachers in the party all admitted having a delightful holi- day trip, 88 well as seeing a great deal of interest and information. The North Land certainly benefitted from this and subsequent tours by the knowledge spread in regard to the truth about the North. The teachers form- ed their own opinions of the country and its resources, and the result has been a different type of teaching about the North Land. The visiting teachers here in 1921 were given official welcome to Timmins by Dr. J. A. McInnis. may- or, and D. Ostrosser, president of :he Timmins board of trade. At the New Empire theatre they were shown the motion pictures of the H-ollinger, Mcâ€" Intyre and o;her mines. Dr. McInnis. mayor, also made an address to the visitors at the theatre, reply being made by Chas. E. Kelly, the genial chair- man for the day for the teachers. The visitors were then taken to the Hollin- ger Mine and shown the mill. refinery, etc., after which they were taken by motor to see the various points of inâ€" terest in the town and district. At noon luncheon was served in the Mas- onic hall by the Ladies’ Aid of the Pres- byterian church. The sing-song led by Miss Annie 1". Hunter, was a feature of this event. Among the speakers at the luncheon were:â€"â€"-Dr. McInnis, Mac Lang. M.P.P., D. Ostrosser, Hon. R. H. Grant. Minister of Education, W. J. Dunlop, B.A., the director of universi- ty extension work at the University of Toronto, Inspector Smith, Chas. E. Kelly, and others. Mrs. Alexander re- sponded in very effective way to the vote of thanks tendered the Ladies‘ Aid for the excellent luncheon provided. In mentioning the re-opening of the schools after the summer holidays The Advance ten years ago referred to the fact that the work of the Timmins high school was to be carried under the direction of C. S. Carter, principal, who was also printipal of the public school. The other teachers on the public school stafl includedzâ€"Miss Gowan, Miss Fligg, Miss Corman, Miss Taylor. Miss G. D. Everett, Miss Lee, Mrs. W. Twaddle, Miss Bender. Building permits for the month of August, 1921. represented an estimated value of $17,000.00. according to The Advance ten years ago. It was the sad duty of The Advance .ten years ago to chronicle several deaths and tragedies. One of these year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Rivet. The little girl was playing out- side, making mud pies, and Mrs. Rivet looking from the house would see the little girl every few minutes. Then 1 she missed the youngster and a searcht was started. Two men working at the river assisted in the search and one of them trying the water at a little land- ing nearby found the dead body of the 'L girl had gone to the river seeking wa- ter to aid in her pie-making and that she fell into the water and was drown- ed. The deepest sympathy was extend- ed the bereaved parents in their tragic loss. Another depressing tragedy re- corded was that of the death of Rev. W. Haythornwaite. the Anglican minister at Moose Factory. James Bay. Some weeks previously while helping in the moving of some furniture. Rev. Mr. Haythornwaite was struck by a falling piano when the team of horses draw- ing the goods became frightened and bolted. He had his shoulder broken in two places as well as suffering other' injuries. The nearest doctor was at Cochrane some 180 miles away and the injured clergyman had to lie for weeks before skilled medical aid could be brought to him. Much of the time he was delirious from the terrible win. He was constantly watched by friends. but one day he was left alone for a minute or two and he got up from his bed, secured a gun and shot himself. Rev. Mr. Haythornwaite gave notable service at Moose Factory and was a de- voted pioneer missionary who is affec- tionately remembered by all who knew‘ him. He had visited Timmins on more than one occasion and had told The Advance of the wonderful agricultural possibilities of the Moose F‘ac:ory area. where grains and evegtables and even fruits were then being grown. His pic- tures of agricultural scenes in the far- ther north were very interesting and informative. Szill another death re- corded was that of Mrs. A. C. Kent. residing on Railroad street, South Por- cupine. ms. Kent was found dead in bed, 'death being due apparently to heart failure. The deceased was about 45 years of age at the time of death. An inquest was held. the verdict of the jury being that death was due to na- tural causes. A week or two ago The Advance in its ordinary news columns had reference to the fact that J. C. Ross. district superintendent of post emces in this district, had been 32 years in the postal service. Ten years ago his appoint- ment as acting district superintendent was announced by The Advance. At the Dome on Aug. 24th. 1921, 'I‘immins Football Club was “skunked. whitewashed. duck-eyed or what have you." the score being 7 no 0. Tinmins From data in the Porcupine Advance bit Fire did between $2000.00 and $2500.00 damage to the restaurant and rooming house conducted by Mrs. Angus Mort- son, South Porcupine, on Sunday morn- ing. Aug. 28th, 1921.The alarm was real- ly given by one of W. D. Pearce’s sleigh dogs whose continued barking aroused the attention of those in the Pearce residence. By the time the bri- gade was summoned the blaze had a good hold and much damage resulted before the fire could be brought under control. The furniture from the res- taurant was saved, but the goods in the rooming house had to be left where they were. Eventually the fire was got- ten under control. The loss was‘cov- ered by insurance. The Advance noted with pleasure a grant of $100.00 made by the town council at Iroquois Falls in 1921 to the Iroquois Falls Amateur Athletic Asso- ciation for the furtherance of good sport in that town. Ten years ago The Advance had the following paragraph in regard to a birthday partyzâ€"“Mr. Frank Burke had a. birthday last week, and a party of his friends visited him at his home and fairly showered him with good wishes, “many happy returns of the day” and presents. “Most of these presents seem to be happy returns all right,” said Frank to the boys. Frank keeps good track of his stock and he knows even the chocolate bars that walk away. But after Frank had decided that he could carry “all that junk" back to the store, everybody had a happy social time, and the boys feel that birthdays should come more frequently than just once a year." It is impossible to read The Advance ten years ago without getting the im- pression that the said Advance did not like either the Farmers’ Government or the Ontario Temperance Act. In the issue ten years ago there were several items that left this impression. For instance, one little item .saidzâ€"“If this unco guid- government is allowed to carry on, soon a man won’t be able to stay out of jail in this province un- less he can show his amateur card of membership in the Methodist church.” Another longer paragraph was just as bad. It said:â€"â€"“The Zionists are settl- ing in Palestine. If there are any Pharisees in the holy land who will feel out of place under the new dispensa-l tion there they ought to emigrate to Ontario and feel at home. This pro- : vince a: present is the ideal world home 7 of the Pharisee. “Oh, Lord, we are not as other men, and there are quite a few improvements that we will have to in- augurate in Heaven as soon as we reach there, if so. For instance, there is too much music and surely music is a sin. People are altogether too hapr in Heaven now, and that does not seem quite right. Also, wouldn’t iron doors be more economical than those early gates?. And mud roads. if any, more methodistically heavy than streets of gold?" Of course, this is from the re- evening of this week J.

A ‘despatch last week sent out by the Canadian Press has the following to say in regard to the route of the Trans- Canada highway through Northern Ontario:â€" “Designation of the first sections of the Trans-Canada highways in Ontario was announced by Premier‘Henry fol- lowing approval by the cabinet. This is the first step in commencing work for the unemployed in the government work camps in the North in conjunc- tion with federal government grants. “Two sections are designated in the plan. The first section extends from Pembroke on the east, to Mattawa and thence westerly to North Bay. The second section commences at the town of Schreiber. Thunder Bay dis- trict, and goes west to the Manitoba boundary following the north shore of Lake Superior to the village of N ipigon. thence to Port Arthur and Fort Wil- liam, proceeding through Upsala, Dry- den and Kenora to a point 23 chains south from mile post 24 on the inter- provincjal boundary, and there con- necting with the Trans-Canada high- way now being constructed by the Pro- vince of Manitoba. “The order approved by the cabinet directs that Hon.

There has been some activity in real estate in the Hoyle district, some farm lands close to town having changed ownership. Indications are to the ef- fect that there will be some building operations this fall, or. perhaps. more accurately speaking, the moving of a residence already built, with of course, the necessary altera:ions. decorations. embellishments. suggestive of a “house for two." Coming events cast their portentious shadows beforehand. Midland Argus:â€"We heard the other day of a chap who was standing under a power line. A metal sign on the p35; said: “Dangerâ€"2.000 volts." Disbeliev- ing the caution, and heedless of his friends‘ warning, he tickled the high tension wire with the limb of a con- venient tree. The wallop he received has convinced him permanently. we hope, that signs mean what they say. It seems to be an unfortunate twist in human nature that we are not always content to profit by others’ experiences. We must find things out for ourselves, regardless of the cost. 10 lbs. for Large Jar New Season’s Raspberry, Strawberry or Black Currant Here’s Real Value Peas, Corn, Tomatoes 10 Bars 1'39c A Delightful 2 lbs. 2 SC Assortment BAYSIDE BRAND Reg. 43c 1b. 99c CHOICE QUALITY TINS Large Tin 250 DOZEN Flying Circular Saw Rips Seat of Trousers 'anada’s Largest Retail Grocers Cecil Birtch. a Cobalt young man. had the seat of his trousers torn when a circular saw in operation broke last week.

One part of the flywheel, weighing 50 pounds. hurtled through the air about 350 feet and passing through a garage and out into the highway. Another section weighing about 15 pounds tra- velled even farzher. Cecil Birtch, his father, and William Harrison were at work when the accident occurred. All ducked, and only the father was hurt. He was taken to the hospital where he was treated and is‘now well on the way to recovery.

Baltimore Sumâ€"On behalf of the oyster industry. it is easy to rejoice at the discovery that oysters cure anae- mia. If this discovery reacts on the price of oysters in the same way in which a similar discovery a few years ago reacted on the price of liver. the oyster business will almost surely pull izself out of the depression during the season now about to begin.
