Moose Carnival Now in Progress at Rink The proceeds from the carnival will go to the Moose relief fund for the asâ€" sistance of any who may be in need this winter. ‘The next meeting of Timmins town council is scheduled for Monday afterâ€" noon, Oct. 26th, commencing at 4 p.m. The T. â€"N. 0. Railway asked for a rebate of $8.10 penalty asked for cheques arriving a day or two behind time. The request was granted, but the raillway is to be asked to adjust their time of payment so that the cheques will arrive here on or before the date water rates are due and not simply have them posted in North Bay on that date as in the past. The matter of very necessary repairs to the cement pavement from Spruce street to the brewery was discussed. The surface was badly chipped, the mayor said, and needed reâ€"surfacing. Councillor Caron mentioned the imâ€" provement recently made in the highâ€" The carnival will continue each evenâ€" ing this week, the grand finale being on Saturday night. There are the usuâ€" al enjoyable carnival features with imany special novelties and extras. A vaudeville programme is one of the specials. In connection with the carâ€" nival a number of valuable prizes are offered. These prizes will be awarded on Saturday night at 11 p.m. The annual carnival under the ausâ€" pices of the Timmins Lodge of the Loyâ€" al Order of Moose opened at the skatâ€" ing rink last night and promises to be a pleasing success. There was a good attendance last night and the various features were well patronized, all apâ€" pearing pleased at the event throughâ€" Instead cf the one petition in regard to the proposed byâ€"law for the closing of the dry goods stores on Wednesday afternoons all the year round except in December, the council hsd two petiâ€" tions one for and one against. There were thirteen names on the petition to have the halif hoeliday and eight on the one asking that the stores keep open. Four of those on the latter petiâ€" tion had also signed the former one. Last meeting of council the petition for the yearâ€"round Wednesday half holiday hbhad been considered and it was deâ€" cided in the usual way to pass the neâ€" cessary byâ€"law in response to the teâ€" quest, In view of the second petition against the plan the council decided to leave the matter over to next meeting _of council in the hope that the quesâ€" tion may be adjusted satisfactorily in the meantime. One of the arguments in the petition against the proposed byâ€"law was that the hardware stores sold certain lines carried by the other stores and it was not fair to the latter to close with the hardware stores reâ€"| maining open. Councillor Chateauvert thought the hardware stores would join1 the closing movement and that t-henl all the stores would be closed and all' should be satisfied. With a view to having this done the matter was left to next meeting. Mayor Drew pointed out that the first petition was tne only| on> on which the council had call to' act in regular way, but that it would | be better, perhaps, to wait to next meetâ€"| ing to see if the matter could be ad-' justed to the satisfaction of all. | Annual Event Had Successful Opening Night.

The work would help the unemployed situation, and the Government had offered to pay half the cost five years ago. The matter was being taken up again with the Government. The mayor noted that 18 men were at work on the sidewalk to the Hollinâ€" ger. Councillor Chenier again suggesced that the dog catcher should get more than 25¢ a dog, especially when he had to buy his own chains, etec. This was the price asked for the work, but Counâ€" cillor Richardson suggested that the bill for the chains be submitted to council to be considered. There were 290 dogs caught this year so far. Pretty Wedding at St. Matthew‘s‘ on Saturday St. Matthew‘s Anglican church was the scene of a very pretty but quiet wedding on Saturday morning last. Ocâ€" tober 10th, when Miss Irene Evans, of Camborne, Cornmwall, England, was united inythe bonds of holy matrimony to Mr. George Drew, of Timmins, Rev. R. S. Cushing officiating. The bride, who was charmingly dressed in a frock of Alice blue flowered chiffon with hat and shoes to match and carrying a bouquet of pink and white carnations, entered the church on the arm of Mr. J. Drew, to the strains of the wedding march from Faust played by Mrs. J. W. Faithful. She was attended by Miss Dorothy Watts, who wore a shell pink f{rock with picture hat and carried a Fouquet of deep pink and white carnaâ€" tions. The groom was attended by Mr. W. G. McHugh, Jr. After the ceremony dinner was served to the immediate friends and relatives at the homse of Mr. and Mrs. J. Drew, Borden avenue, and in the evening a recention was held at which between thirty and forty frienis avtended. The grcom‘s gift to the bride was wrist waich set with emeralds, to the bridesmaid a cut crystal necklace and to the groomsman a silver combination cigarette case and lighter. The bride‘s gift to the groom was a.gold signet ring with bloodstone setting. THREE MORE TRUCK LOADS OF FINGERLINGS ARRIVED in length and arriving here in fine condition. Mr. Drew is well known in football and fraternal circles, having played for Hollinger F.O. in 1925 and later for Cornish FC. and Sons of England. The happy couple were the recipients of many varied and beautiful gifts that mark the high esteem in which they are held, and the best wishes are exâ€" tended to them for their future happiâ€" ness. They have taken up residence on Cambrai avenue. On Thursday last three more truck loads of fingerlings arrived here from the Dept. of Game and Fisheries for distribution in the waters of the disâ€" trict. Again the fingerlings arrived by motor trucks. J. D. Brady, secretary, of the Rod and Gun Club, saw to their prompt distribution.

Council decided to have the McNamara Construction Co. reâ€"surface the pavement from Spruce street to the road east of the brewery at a price of $410.00. The mayor expiained that the company wore ready to do this if they had material left from their work on he highway, and they expected to have The little son of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Lawson, Kimberley avenue, Timmins, had a narrow escape from desath in the waste slimes just east of the town on Friday afternoon. The boy who was between four and five years old was with some cther boys a little older and had been playing with them in the rcad near the Hollinger Mines. His companions started across what is known as the cyanide, which is solid enough for softball, baseball and other sp>oris over most of its surface, but which is treacherous in a few spots near the edge, especially after heavy rain. The little fellow in taking a short cut to catch up to the other boys sunk down in the miry ground, which is formed of the waste slimes from the mines. He was soon unable to extricate himself{ and the more he struggled the deeper he seemed to sink. The other lads fortunately were clever enough to run for assistance to extricate the lad. They soon had ready help‘and a call was also sent into the pojlice station. Constable Landriault hurried out in the police car with some planks, and when he arrived there was truck on the scene with other planks. Ladders were also used to bridge the softened slimes and reach the endangered lad. He was safely pulled from the slimes and was soon at home again none the worse for his undesirable experience. When he was eventually pulled from the mud he had sunk down almost to armplits. The incident roused very considerable interest, as the danger to the little lad was quite armparent. As good luck would have it the only one to suffer any damage was Constable Landriault who was so mudâ€"spattered that it lookâ€" ed as if his uniform was ruined. The boy suffered no ill effects from the trying time he not even having a cold from the wet and exposure. Â¥Ycungsters should be warned hereafter to keep away from the slimes which are fenced in to prevent chance of such accidents after rain storms. Several years ago wellâ€"known man about town was caught in the slimes and though the experience sobered him up, it was half an hour or more before the police were able to drag him from over to the police, man rushed up to the boy, grabbesd the money, sa‘d "That‘s my money! thanks!" and was gone aga‘in. The lad thought this proâ€" lcedure peculiar, to say the least, and | was worried becauss he thought the wrong man might have the money. Eventually a friend took the lad to the pslice where he explained his idea, the boy feeling that the rightful owner would surely have given som» explanaâ€" tion and also wou‘ld have at least countâ€" ! ed the money to see if it was all right. Jim‘s idzsa proved correct. Shortly afâ€" , ter The Advance was published on ‘Thursday last, a man, evidently of fsreign extraction, returned the money to the police station. He said he took the bills from the boy‘s hands because he thought the money did not belong to the boy and the latter might not reâ€" turn it to the owner. The man told the police there was only $13.00 in bills and he handed over this amount. Acout coincidentâ€" with this J. F. Mcâ€" Guire, of the Government Liquor Store staff, read the story about the found money as told in his favourite paper, The Advance. He was particularly inâ€" terested because he had noticed that he had lost some money while in the: the inud He was so coated with mud that it was all two burly policemen could do to handle him.

All of which seems to be a very good advertisement for the power of The Advance. Man Taking Money { Returns_igto Police Last week The Advance told of Jim Ogzilvie, a lad of nine years, who found some bills in the post off‘se on the fAisor on Wednesday evening. As the lad stcod with the in his hand about to seek the owner or turn the money over to the police, a man rushed up to the boy, grabbesd the money, sa‘d "That‘s my money! thanks!" and was gone aga‘in. The lad thought this proâ€" cedure peculiar, to say the least, and Bills Grabbed from Wfld Found Them Now y Returned to the Real Owner.

This part of the story was wrong, and the real foundation for the yarn is probably an incident of a more comâ€" meon sort. The police were called to a locgal jeweliry store where a man who had left his watch for repairs grabbed the watch and ran out without paying. Several police cfficers were near th»e scene and took after the offender who tried to escape by using a nearby lane. He was caught, however, and taken to the police station. There he paid for the repairs as he would no doubt have djone without trouble had he not been actuated by the spirit of perversity or On Saturday evening last a story gained circulation to the effect that there had been a holdâ€"up in a local store. Some even added the detail that the hold‘up had been in the new shoe Story of Holdâ€"up in Town Proved Somewhat Wrong Death of Mrs. J. Bodeli on Wednesday Last Week President J. R. Walker was in the chair and a feature of the meeting was his very effective and comprehensive report of the district convention of the Kiwanis at Windsor some weeks ago at which he was a delegate. The conâ€" vention is to be held at the Sault next year. Kiwanian Ken Fitzpatrick said that this was the third report he had heard of this convention. He had heard the reports at both the New Liskeard and the Sault clubs and they were most interesting and helpful but he had no hesitation in saying that the one by President Walker was the most interâ€" esting and informative. he had yet heard. The sympathy of all will be extended to the bereaved husband and other reâ€" latives and friends in the death on Wednesday evening last of Mrs. J. Bodell, after an illness of less than week. Mrs. Bodeli was taken ill on the previous Thursday and on Friday of that week was taken to St. Mary‘s hosâ€" pital where everything possible was done for her, but all efforts were unâ€" availing. When the seriousness of her condition was known several volunteers generously offered blood transfusions, but this aid could not be given on acâ€" count of the weakness that overcame her. Death was due to peritonitis. The late Mrs. Bodell was a sister of Mrs. Geo. Meredith, this being the second sad death to come to the Mereâ€" dith family within few days, their son, Melvin, passing away on Sunday, S»pt. 27th as the result of a shooting accident. There was very general regret at the illness of Dr. H. H. Moore, viceâ€"preâ€" sident of the Timmins club, and one of the most porular and esteemed of the Kiwanis of the district. Dr. Day was asked to report on Dr. Moore and all were delighted to know conditions were favourable and Dr. Moore on the way to recovery. The late Mrs. Bodell had been in Timmins for some seven years phst and had wide circles of friends here who will mourn her death, and extend sinâ€" cere sympathy to the bereaved husâ€" band and to the sister. Mrs. Bodell had been in Canada about ten years, having spent three years in Saskatcheâ€" wan with her husbhand before coming here. She was a native of Wales, and will be especially. mourned among her fellow country people here. At the Kiwanis Club luncheon on Tuesday the report for the commitâ€" tee in charge of the sale of tickets for the handsome De Soto car and other prizes showed that the tickets were beâ€" inz taken up freely and most of the members got further supplies of books. The campaign is for money to carry on the Kiwanis child welfare and underâ€" privileged children work. The funeral took place on Thursday last to the United Church where serâ€" vice was held and thence to the Timâ€" mins cemetery. There was an unusualâ€" ly large attendance at the funeral and the many beautiful fioral tokens spoke of the regret at the death and the sympathy felt for the bereaved relaâ€" tives and friends.

Rt. Wor. Bro. W. W. Whyte, as District Deputy Grand Masâ€" ter, then welcomed the boys in a short speech. Inpressing on them the value of the future, he quoted the motto of the late John Ross Robertson, advising the boys to take a similar ideal as their guide through life. Wor. Bro. John Gurnell also welcomed the young guests of the evening, extending the wish that they may some day be Masters in the Masonic Lodge. _A violin solo by Masâ€" ter David Horwitz, with W. H. Wilson as accompanist delighted all, Master Horwitz responding with an equally pleasing encore. In proposing the toast to "The Boys"® Wor. Bro. W. R. Rinn hoped that they felt as welcome as the Masonic breâ€" thren wished them to be. Punctuating his address with a number of interestâ€" ing stories Bro. Rinn certainly extendâ€" ed a warm welcome to the young men present. At the conclusion of his reâ€" marks the boys were individually inâ€" troduced by their fathers or guardians. In responding to the toast to ‘"The Boys," W. Whyte, Jr., referred to the pleasure it gave them to be guests oi the Masonic Order, and briefly reviewâ€" ed the history of the Craft during the past hundreds of years. Wor. Bro. E. L. Longmore gave an address on the ideals which should govâ€" ern men through life, he was followed by Bro. S. L. Honey, who spoke on the necessity of keeping good health as a means to greater happiness in life. The quartette, Messrs Toms, Docking, Bowden and Jago, again favoured the gathering with a selection. A toast to ‘"The Dads" by Master Baron in a short speech was followed by the young men singing "For He‘s a Jolly Good Fellow". Another violin solo by Master Horâ€" witz was enthusiastically received. Bro. Geo. S. Drew responded in a short address which followed along the lines covered by the ppevious speakâ€" ers. Bro.

Moore Now Well on the Way to Recovery Everyone will be pleased to know that Dr. H. H. Moore is now making good progress to complete and early recovery of health, While in his office on Thursday evening Dr. Moore colâ€" lapsed from a stomach trouble that he has had for some time. He was unable to reach the phone or othewise to asâ€" sist himself or summon aid. Dr. Muâ€" terer in coming to the office found him in this condition and had him hurried at once to St. Mary‘s hospital, Dr. Wilson, surgeon in charge at St. Micâ€" hael‘s hospital, was summoned here and an operation was performed that will give Dr. Moore a return to health, Dr. Stahl who was away on his wedding trip was also notified as soon as he could be gotten in touch with and he hastened back to Timmins. The numâ€" ber of enquiries made as to the proâ€" gress of Dr. Moore during the past few days indicates the remarkable hold he had won by his ‘fine services to the town and the people and the hign ¢sâ€" teem and affection in which he is held by the wide circles who know him. The fact that he is now making satisâ€" factory progress to recovery will be good news to all.

Taken all round the prospects for good senior hockey in the North are bright at the present time, for in addiâ€" tion to the regular N.O.H.A. features, the Timmins club holds the Kenning Cup, and challenge matches for the possession of this trophy will no doubt feature the earlier games of the season.

It is practically certain that Iroquois Falls will not be repiresented in the Northern Group this year, that is for senior honours at least. The curtailâ€" ment in the production of the mills at Iroquois Falls, with the consequent reâ€" duction in the staff of a great part of the single men, is given as the reason for the absence of the Eskimss for the first time from senior honours. may be in>goCd shape for the comings winter. The hockey club here has the larger nuimber of the players in the team last winter, with several newcomers who are expected to bolster up the team, and make the Timmins aggregation one of the strongest on the ice. According to rumour the only two teams comprising the Northern Group this year will be Timmins and Scuth Porcupinge, though the possibilities of Cochrane, Kapuskasing and Kirkland Lake being represented are strong. In the last two named towns in particular there are lots of promising talent, and Plans are now under way tbo organâ€" izs a senior hockey team in Timmins for the coming season. A preliminary meeting has been held to decuss nscesâ€" sary plans for the coming season, and in the near future it is ex;icted to have the promising material now resident in the town out for training, so that they may be in gocd shape for the coming Plans to Organize Senior Hockey Here Preliminary Meeting Held st Woeok to Discuss the Necessary PMans for Hockey for the Coming Seas Plans are now under way Paid Circulation Last W eek
