At the same time Mrs. Mor- rat got a sort of Christmas gift in the form of payment for a town patient in the Cairns hospital, but at the same time she was warned again that never more would an account be paid unless authorized before the patient was tak- en in at the hospital. There was fre~ quent trouble about this private hos- pital. Mrs. Moffat would not refuse admission to anyone ill or injured and there was often dilficulty in collecting afterwards. Mrs. Moffat. however, said that she did not have the heart to turn anybody away who really needed her help.

The town had about $135,000.00 more in debentures to sell at that time. and were duly thankful for the inter- est shown by the Hollinger in taking up the block of practically “0.00000. The Advance suggested that the de- bentm'es were excellent from the in- vestment standpoint and that towns- peOple should consider plans to take them up. With everybody apparently trying to get a start in business or in life generally, nothing was done along the local-selling line, and the deben- tures were later sold in the usual way. Reference was made at the meeting to the telephone service.

Before reaching the mine, however, he suflered an attack of heart trouble,i and suddenly collapsed to rise no more. ; Other workmen found the body, but all ! eflorts to revive him were of no avail. : The sudden death came as .a decidedi shock to all who knew the late Mr: Vienote. who was pOpular with every- body and highly esteemed by all who knews him. The late Wm. Stan. Vienote was about 37 years of age. A wife and four children are left to mourn his untimely death and to these the most sincere and heartfelt sympathy of all is extended. The deceased lived in Man- eta. Two brothers, Harry and “Bud." reside in the Porcupine, and to them the sympathy of many friends here will go out in their sad incident.

Kirkland Lake on Monday of this week, whereby Mr. Steve Donaldson. for several years captain for the Beaver at Kirkland Lake, met sudden death. He was walking through a tunnel after a blast had been set off and a large piece of rock fell on him. It is thought that death was instantaneous. This is the fourth death mthe Donaldson family in the past two years, the father, mo~ ther and a daughter, also passing away in that time. The late S. Donaldson was 33 years of age and leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss. He was a brother of Mrs. T. Hardy, of Timmins, and Mrs. F. C. Evans, 01‘ South Porcupine. Mrs. Hardy left yesâ€" terday (Tuesday) morning for Kirkland Lake. news of the sad death being sent here Monday afternoon. The funeral will, likely be held at Haileybury, where the family have been esteemed resiâ€" dents for many years. The late Mr. Donaldson was highly esteemed by all who knew him. To the bereaved wife and family and the other near relatives and friends the most sincere sympathy will go out." The Advance ten years ago made mention of the memorial tablet unveil- ed at St. Andrew's church at North Bay in remembrance of the 28 from the congregation who had paid the supreme sacrifice in the great war, and to the 160 others who had answered the call to service of King and country. Among the names on the tablet were: P. Dou- gall and Wm. Twaddle, both of whom came to Timmins to reside after their service overseas. The tablet cost $1,- 000.00. of this amount $550.00 being raised by special offerings in the church and the balance defrayed by Senator Gordon and John Ferguson. of North Bay. “On Monday morning,” said The Adâ€" vance of Wednesday, Dec. 14th, 1921, “while crossing the cyanide on his way to work with the seven o'clock shift at the Hollinger. William Stanley Vienote dropped down dead. When he left home after eating breakfast in the usu- ed at. Kirkland Lake," had the follow- ing:â€"-“A very sad accident occurred at criginality of outlook and philosophy. Mr. Downie showed how other empires had crushed themselves by greed, sel- flshness and low ideals, while Great Britain by its more unselfish outlook and by “playing fair" with her own and other peoples had grown great and promised to go on to increasing great- ness, in the true sense of the word. Touching on modern problems, Mr. Downie emphasized the necessity for an unselfish outlook and a square deal to all. Between labour and capital, he pointed out there must be this square deal, “a fair day’s wage and/a fair day’s wor There must be oo-opera- tion and confidence. Another special feature of the evening was an address by P. Dougall on “What is Success?" His central thought was that true suc- cws lies in the service of others and in the develogment of the right type of character. A piano solo by Miss Grif- fin was much appreciated, as was also a. humorous song by Mr. Downie. Dancing was enjoyed during the even~ andOol. McCormick. of Hamilton. At the Caledonian Society of Tim- mins ten years ago there was a largely- attended meeting in the Oddfellows hall. with the president, M. B. Scott, in the chair. D. Dunlap, one of the directors of the fiollinger, was unani- mously elected as an honorary member of the society. A. J. Dmmie's paper on “John Bull” was a special feature or the evening, the essay showing much causes. The deceased had been missed around town for a couple of days and investigation resulted in the discovery that he had passed away. The late Mr. Grills was an engineer by profes- sion and had followed that calling for many years. In the years previous to his death he had been in the employ of the T. 8: N. O. in their car shops at Timmins. He was born in England, but had lived in Canada for many years. He was well-known and well- liked in the Porcupine where he liv- ed for a number of years. He was sur- vive-d by a widow who resided at Go- bait. On a. visit here ten years ago, Col. L. T. Martin. one of the T. 85 N. 0. Railway commissioners, was taken 111 and had to have medical attention. He had sufiered from an ulcerated tooth and after the extraction to face swelled and there was much pain. 001. Mar- tin was treated heme for the trouble and was able to return south with the party There was talk ten years ago of a protest in connection with the election contest in Temiskamlng riding for a member for the Dominion House. One of the grounds for this was that two polls had been missed, no ballot boxes arriving. The matter was dropped lat- er when it was seen that the election figures were not as close as at first thought. In the issue of The Advance on Dec. 14th, 1921, all the available returns were published, these showing the majority for Angus McDonald to be around 300. On Sunday, Dec. 11th. 1921, the dead body of Sam Grills was found at his cabin in Moneta. A physician, hastily summoned when the discovery was made, found that death had taken place The clinic rooms and omce of the public health nurse for Timmins were moved from the premises next to Grill's jewelry store to the quarters next to King’s Amusement Parlours 1n the week of December 12th. 1921. many hours before, probably on Sat,- urday.
