In 1921 at this time of year, Porcu- pine Lodge No. 453. 1.0.0 F., observed the seventh anniversary of the lodge. The event was in the form of an At Home and every one of the seventy- flve or more present had a regular good time from start to finish. Cards and other games were enjoyed, there was a fine programme of entertainment and the refreshments served were of the very best, and lots of them. Many from Timmins, Schumacher and other points in the district were present. and all agreed it was a very happy evening. There were solos, recitations, sketches and good orchestra music. the latter by Messrs Wilson and Rudolphe.

The chief feature of interest in the meeting so far as this part of the North was concerned was the division of the area into two groups. Timmins. Iroquois Falls, New Liskeard and Haileybury were in one group, and North Bay, Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie in the other. There was some demand for a three-group. division. but this was finally over-ruled. A sched- ule was draw up for the games in each of the two groups. Haileybury was anxious to play with North Bay, claim- There was an extended report in The Advance ten years ago of the annual meeting of the Northern Ontario Hoc- ing that the games with Tlmmlns and Iroquois Falls were losing ventures, the percentage of the gates going to the visiting teams not being enough to meet travelling expenses. Alec Dewar pointed out that in case of Haileybury going in with North Bay the returns from the games would be even less in proportion. For the Dominion election in 1921 there was registration in Timmins for the voters' lists, with E. H. Hill as re- vising officer. The list as prepared by the registrar had 1616 names and in the week allowed for revision 120 names were added, with none taken off, thus leaving a total of 1736 voters on the list for Timmins. “Work commenced on Monday morn- ing of this week on the modern store building to be erected for Marshall- Ecclestone on their corner lot, Pine street and Third avenue,” said The Ad- vance ten years ago. The Advance I. went on to any that Hill-Cloth J‘mncls had the contract for the new building. The new structure was to replace the one destroyed by fire a couple of years before. The new building was to be two storeys and basement. with provis- ion for the addition of a third storey later it necessary. The building was to be the full size of the lot. 108 by 60 feet. The building was to be of hollow .. title with stucco finish. 'Nie descrip- .5. tion ofthe building given by The Ad- “? | vance suggested an up-to-date. hand- some and commodious building. and the structure as completed even exceeded the expectations for it. “The finest furniture and hardware store in all the North." was the general verdict. Ten years ago there as a hot election battle in progress in Tlmmins. At a meeting held in the New Emp re thea- tre in the interests of A. J. Kennedy. the Union Government candidate, there was a large attendance, but the address of the candidate was somewhat dis- turbed by hecklers. These disturbers also tried it on with the other speakers but were not at all successful, as will be suggested by the names of these other speakers, Mr. Stockdale, Labour man, Toronto. and Geo. Mitchell, of Cobalt. T. H. Torrance presided at the meeting. On Sunday evening, Nov. 20th, 1921. there was a band concert at the New Empire theatre after the church ser- vices. Dr. McInnis, mayor of Timmins. was in the chair. He spoke of the value of a good band to a town and had high praise for the new leader, Fred Wolno. In referring to Mr. Wolno’s services in the Royal Air Force, Dr. Mc- Innis saidzâ€"“So, if the band ever gets up in the air, Mr. Wolno will be able to bring them down all right." The several selections given by the band delighted all. The Advance at the time said that the band was one for the town to be proud of and that under Mr. Wolno’s leadership it promised to con- tinue its progress and improvement. One of the specially pOpular band num- bers was “Fraternity Overture," in which the new band leader took the sornet solo part very effectively. Solos 'oy Jas. Geils and Mrs. Acton won much THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO applause. Violin solos by V. Rudolphe were a special feature of the pro- gramme. Another special was the re- citation, “The Wreck of the Titanic," very effectively given by W. Dalzell. A. Pappone on the clarinet. with an- other member of the band on the gui- tar, rendered duets that were much appreciated. Mrs. J. W. Faithful pllav- ed the piano accompaniments. The collection taken at the door totalled $108.57. The band up to that time had only given occasional concerts during the winter, but it was decided to have similar band concerts every month or so. A couple of years later regular con- certs every two weeks during the win- ter was adopted as the rule and carried through for years Ten years ago The Advance announc- ed the marriage of Miss K. Power. of Timmins. and Joseph Hagan, of Detroit, Mich., the event taking place at T0- ronto. Miss Power was very popular in Timmins and the districc. She had taught school here and at Iroquois Falls and had wide circles of friends. Mr. Hagan was previously one of the early residents of the town and had hosts of friends in the camp. The bride had been secretary of the St. Anthony‘s Altar Girls' Society, and the society made a presentation of pyrex casserole and pie plate, together with an au- dress. at a party held in honour of the bride-to-be at the home of the presi- dent of the society. Miss Pitre, previous to Miss Power leaving here for the ceremony at Toronto. Miss Power was accompanied to Toronto by her brother. John Power. Mr. and Mrs. Hagan took up residence in Detroit after their marriage. Ten years ago The Advance mention- ed the fact that three particularly fine moose heads were on display in Feld- man Bros. store. The excellent hun- ters. W. McCracken, Jack Thomas and B. Byck, say they saw no less than 12 big moose during their trip, but the bag limit orevented them bringing home more than the three spesimens. was his second appearance in court in- side of a few months on sinular charges and Magistrate Atkinson evidently though that Wife-beating was becoming a habit with the man. instead of an accident, and he gave him three months to help break the habit. The Advance ten years ago told of 3' very successful euchre held under the auspices of the ladies of the Schu- macher R.C. church. The event was enjoyable and successful from every1 angle. There' were visitors from all! over the district, and it was necessary to have 48 tables. A sale of home- made candy and a particularly fine line of refreshments were other special features of the evening. Reeve Gal- lagher. of Tisdale, did very effective and entertaining Work in auctioning off a number of cakes after the supper. Rev. Fr. Theriault added to the pleas- ure and sociability of the event. The prize winners for euchre werezâ€"first, ladies. Mrs. M. Hurtibise, Timmins; second. Mrs. A. Brazeau; third, Mrs. J. D. MacLean; consolation, Mrs. Norris. Schumacher; first, gentlemen. J. E. Le- blanc; second, W. E. McCoy; third, J. T. Newton; consolation, James Scully. Oil claims were staked on the North Mattagami river ten years ago accord- ing to The Advance at the time. Samples of the oil shale were brought down to Cochrane from fourteen claims near the Mattagami river north and west of Oil Can Portage, at that time the end of the T. N. 0. Railway. The shale samples were said to be especially good. and the promise of the .oil development possible in the North i roused much enthusiasm. At the Timmins police court. ten years. ago a. local man was sentenced to three months in jail for beating his wife. It There was quite a 'few large adver- tisements in The Advance ten years ago. The National Liberal and Con- servative Party, with A. J. Kennedy as candidate has a full-page advertise- ment. The Curtis Drug Co. had a full page of bargains in drugs. sundries and Christmas goods. Ostrosser Co. and Marshall-Ecclestone each had half - page advertisements, while Rinn Bros, New Empire theatre. the Geo. Taylor Hardware, N. Ansara. Feldman Bros., W. Dalzell, and others also took gener- ous spaces. David Bertrand had a let- ter to the electors in the advertising columns explaining the platform on {which he wits running as a candidate for the Dominion eleétion in this rid- m8. The Advance ten years ago sayszâ€"1 “The Hockey Club dance given on J Wednesday evening last in King's hall x for the benefit of the Porcupine Hockey Club drew a large crowd and proved very successful. despiite the short time for preparation and advertising of the event. All attending had a most en- joyable evening. At the RC. Church. Timmins. on Oct. 27th, 1921, by Rev. Fr. 'I‘herriault, Miss Philomene Larchie and Mr. Claude Dwaulniers were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The Advance at the time of making this announceâ€" .ment ten years ago saidzâ€"“Happy ‘ bridegroom" is doubly true in this case for the pOpular Claude has been taking a special pride and pleasure out of the fact that for nearly a month he has‘ been able to keep the news of his mar- riage a regular secret. Now that the news of the marriage is announced many friends of the young couple will extend very sincere good wishes. It is now eleven years since the even- ing vocational classes were started in Tlmmlns. In 1920 these classes were conducted in the Central publlc school and proved both useful and popular. Ten years ago The Advance made the interesting announcement that the classes in 1920 did not cost the town anything. The total cost of the classes was $1184.00. file Government gave a grant of $1,000.00‘ and the fees collect- ed totalled $227.50, so the cost to the town was practically nothing. The total number registered for the classes in 1920 was 73. The classes were con- tinued in 1921 with even larger attend- ance and success. When the Timmins high school was established here these classes were conducted under the aus- pieces of the high school and depart- ment of education for the province. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten years were the following:â€"-“W. D.
