The concert given by the Porcupine Goldfields Band in the auditorium cf the Continuation School on Wednes- day of last week was one of the best renditions cf varied musical talent heard in this part of the camp for a long time. It was regrettable tha'} owing to the nearness of the Christmas season the artendance was so small, as the quality of the programme warrant- ed a full house.

Gal- laaher acted as chairman in his usual efi‘cient and witty manner. He ex- plained how handicapped this part of the camp had been some ten years or so ago when for any special occasion a band had to be imported. It; was on one such occasion that the idea was conceived of the municipality providing the instruments and a leader as a nucleus of a band of our own. The Porcupine Goldfield Band, as it is to- day. comprises members from Schu- macher. South Porcupine and -:he Dome and has been a real asset to the muni- cipality.

December Report of Mattagami School After discussion it was definitely de- cided to postpone the draw for the prizes for the Kiwanis Child Welfare event until January 25:11, 1932. This action was considered absolutely neces- sary in view of the fact that a number of books of tickets had been sent out cf town and ..hese had not yet been returned either as sold or unsold. With these tickets out it would be impossible to do the drawing on Christmas Eve as originally planned. Instead the draw will be made at 6.30 pm. on January 25th at the Servall Service Station, across from Dalton's, on the corner of Third avenue and Cedar street.
