It was written on October alst and saidzâ€"“I have been instructed by the Dome Mines Football Club to ask per- mission through your association for this club’s withdrawal from the On- tario Cup competition. This request can be made according to rule 15, of Ontario Cup competition. We make this request for the following reasons: 1. According to rule 5 of the Ontario Cup competition district winners have to be declared by August 15th, and yet the Toronto districts have not yet de- clared a winner, and according to press reports will not do so before Nov. 14th even with favourable weather condi- tions. 2.

The Rink Committee have had their pre-season meeting. It has been de- cided to dispense with season tickets and sell strip tickets instead during the coming winter. The rink dressing- rooms have been made much morespa- cious and re-modelled. The room for- merly used by the Hockey Club has been enlarged and finished with in- sulated fibre-board to be used as a ladies' waiting room. The room on the north has been finished in like manner and also enlarged to accommodate hoc- key clubs and be a men's waiting room. Lockers. shower baths. etc., have been installed here as wéil as a regular wa- ter-works system in the ladies' waiting room.

Her inspection was very thorough and her advice and pleasant visit was much appreciated by the members here. A large number of visitors from Arbutus Chapter, Timmins, were present. W.G. Tisdale township council met on Monday evening with the reeve and all 4 the councillors present. The minutes of last meeting were read. There was no correspondence. An indigent at Schumacher applied for support through his landlord. It was decided to have him examined as to his ability to work as he is a pioneer of the district. The value of two lots on the Rochester; townsite was again discussed and con- sidered well worth the taxes owing on them. The unemployment situation took up the greater part of the even- ing. With the advent of cold weather and the closing down of some of the work and little hopes appearing that the roadwork that was supposed to help out with it, would materialize the situ- ation in Tisdale was becoming critical. As much of the percentage of those aisking help were of foreign extraction some of the councillors were asking how our own Canadians, many of whom were out of work, managed to get along without asking help. Some were won- dering if these foreign-speaking people were not a little too much for depend- ing on help from others, just as soon as things didn’t go their way. Many native Canadians were managing by a little here and a little there to keep themselves lElithout asking for public help. The employed at Schumacher were looming as a problem of the next few weeks. It will be harder to find proper accommodation for them there, than it is here. The by-law making Bruce avenue, South Porcupine, and First avenue, Schumacher, as well as the intervening South Porcupine-Tim- mins road a through highway was pass- ed. Thus a full stop is required when entering it from any intersections along the route such as the Dome road, Coni- aurum roads. etc.. as well as the cross streets of the two villages. The jitney situation was discussed. It was decid- ed to find out from a solicitOr just what could be done to amend the present act so as to protect tax-payers who are in the «business from seemingly unfair competition from outsiders who come in and merely pay their licenses. A man was present re stalls in a barn on which he was paying water rates where there were no horses. He was informed meters were being obtained for such cases. Some of these were on . hand and as soon as enough were avail- ;able their installation would begin. A 7 man from Schumacher who had i i thought it would do to let his taxes go for a year had found out differently when the bailiff called and was out to interview council to see the reason. He was informed that taxes were gpay- able on due dates and any arrange- ment otherwise should be specially dealt with if he did not want bailiffs action as the township were in sore need oi the taxes now due. Some needy re- lief cases came before the council where the father was sick and there M. Sister Boyd wals made the recipient of a hand-bag as a memento of her visit to South Porcupine. Much heartier support has been giv- en to football in this part of the camp this year than for many seasons pas: and we feel the type of citizenship represented by the individual players has been a strong factor in obtaining that support. Each and every member of the team is the class of citizen that we like to keep, regardless of whether they play football or not. bued with the wiliness and wisdom of the Scot.

In Toronto he played with Clydebank. 48th Highlanders, Congasco and To- ronto C.N.R. as this matter will have to be taken up with the ORA. immediately.” Sup- ported by the N.O.F.A. in their request the Dome Mines Club finally got the O.F.A. to carry the competition into the beginning of next season. It is expect- ed that the line-up, much as it is now. will still be available. Our records of the past season would not be complete without a note on the work of J. Bax- ter. the lad who acted as net guardian the latter part of the season. Being a willbetwomonthsafterthisdate be- fore we can play. As you are aware that will be seven weeks after the close of the season in this district. in which time any team goes out of condition. 3. With the season for football past and the soccer public giving ample evi- dence that it is. we feel that the under- taking would be a financial failure to which would be added, additional ex- pense through the grounds being un- playable at that time. It would be de- cidedly unfair to our players to expect them to give of their best after being so long without a game. also unfair to those who support us financially to in- cur such an expense with small pos- sibility of getting any returns. Further it has just been decided to play home and home games in the Toronto district finals. This according to press reports is a new departure. This means a fur- ther delay of one week when weather is uncertain. We would. like to point out that if the Ontario Football Associa- tion decides to carry this competition into the beginning of next season, we shall only be too pleased to remain in it. We respectfully solicit your support in this request feeling that though in this particular case we are making a request for ourselves, we are acting for the good of football in Northern On- tario in the future. I shall only be too pleased to come to Timmins to talk over this matter with your association THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Do not forget. the date.â€" December fourth, just sally forth; Your pleasure will be great.
