The Advance noted ten years ago that] a good start had been made on the drive to raise 315000.00 for St. An-l thony 5 church. A big thermometer on t the side of the Bank of Commerce building showed the progress made each day. The first night the thermometer registered $1,500.00, with over $3000.00 registered the second night. The canâ€" vass was confined to members of the church in the parish, though there were some voluntary subscriptions from others given in the campaign. Ten years ago The Advance reported that word from North Bay was to the effect that the Holinger Consolidated Gold Mines, Limited, had finally secur- ed the rights to develop electric power on the Abitibi river. There was no official confirmation or denial of the report from either the Government or the Hollinger. - There were hundreds unable to get1 into the New Empire theatre for the concert on Feb. 5th, 1922, under the auspices of the Navy League of Can- ada. Admiral Beresford branch, Tim- mins. Before 8.15 the theatre was crowded to the doors and literally htmc dreds had to be turned away. The programme was given by the Schroeder orchestra. the McIntyre orchestra and individual artists of special talent. The Schroeder orchestra. which was a com- bination of the two excellent orchestras. the «Junior orchestra and the String orchestra, delighted all with the fine music so capably presented. The Mc- Intyre orchestra also proved remark- ably effective and won high favour. Vocal solos by Mrs. Gilbert, piano solos by little Miss L. Robitaille, selections by the Schroeder quartette, and the violin playing of Master Willie Shub were extra special numbers on a par- ticularly pleasing programme. Dr. J. A. McInnis, mayor of Timmins, pre- sided. and in introducing the pro- gramme he referred to the aims and objects of the Navy League. Dr. Mc- Innis, as usual, helped the success of the evening by his wit and geniality. Ten years ago The Advance was very critical of the Ontario Government for its lack of assistance to the settlers of the North in their desperate struggle for existence. Scores of them were suffering an extra touch of hardship on account of the failure of the Mattagami Pulp Paper Co. to pay the settlers for pulpwcod and labour. At the sug- gestion of The Advance one settler wrote direct to the Minister of Lands and Forests. Hon. Beniah Bowman, detailing the situation, and asking, as MATINEE DAILY AT 2.30 P.M.

The Advance gave full publicity and considerable com- ment to one paragraph in the Minis- ’ter's reply. Hon. Beniah Bowman saidzâ€""The Minister sympathizes with the settlers who find difficulties con- fronting them in their dealings. bu for the Crown to interject itself in 9 matter that relates to private interesr of this kind would be unprecedented " The Advance waxed sarcastic at the Minister's fervent horror of interfer.‘ ing with private interests. but pointec‘i out that even such unprecedented ac- 3 tion was demanded by the unprecedent- ed injury to good people. The Ad- vance pointed out that the million' handled by the company had come from the privileges and concession granted by the Government. The ‘money thus was really the property oi the people and should revert to the people. at least to the extent that the settlers should receive a square deal The Mattagami Pulp 8.; Paper 00., then in the hands of a receiver, showed as- sets less thanwthe total liabilities, but in the statements no mention was made of the chief asset of the c3mpanyâ€"â€"a number of timber limit leases. The sale of these meant millions available. The Advance suggested that the Gov- ernment revoke the leases and sell them emwhene, in the meantime advancing the money to the settlers. Hon. Ben- iah Bowman, especially after Premier Drury had talked to him about it, re- coiled with horror from thought of in- terfering with “private interests." It is interesting to note however, that lat- er the Ferguson Government did not hesitate to interfere with the “private interests" and to see that _the settlers got a square deal. Eventually every settler was paid in full, though some jc-bbers suffered from one of the most remarkable examples of high finance seen in the North Land. In the issue of The Advance ten years ago pleased reference was made to comments by other newswtpers on the hockey ability of Charlie Jemmett. a former resident of Timmins. Charlie was at Simcoe, where he was making a name for himself in hockey. Although only 17 years of age at the time he had made a place for himself in Intermedi- ate hockey. In one game mentioned Charlie scored six of the seven goals credited to his team. Thursday, Feb. 2nd, 1922, was refer- red to in The Advance ten years ago as being Candlemas Day, the day on wh-ch the bear is supposed to go back for an- other six weeks in case he can see his shadow. The Advance noted that, a.» very often happens, there was con- siderable dispute as to whether the bear could see his shadow or no: and so the sign did not appear as a very hopeful one. In discussing the matter AUDIO REVIEW ‘ “In a strenuous game of hockey in “he N.O.H.A. series Iroquois Falls won =n their own ice, the score being 9 to 4. Early in the game Duke McCurry was ‘injured and this proved a serious handicap for the Timmins team. *Brydge. of the Falls, was also out of lthe game for a. time. He made what appeared to be a wicked head-on at- tack upon Frank McGuire. Frank saw him coming and it was too bad for Bill. The referee skated over to put ,Bill out of the game for a couple of ’ minutes, but Frank had put him out for about that long. His lip was badly ‘ lacerated and several of his teeth brok- . en, his mouth having run against the , end of Frank‘s stick. He had to go ._ off for surgical repairs, b81113 carried .,-ofl‘ the ice. The Advanceâ€" made special - mention of the good work by Scully in goal for Timmins, also the clever play- ing of McGuire, Brennan, Campbell and . Cameron. In the same week the Tim- .lmins team won from New Liskeard. 7 -ito 4, on the New Liskeavd ice It was ”not a. fast game. both teams being ;,somewhat off colour for vari‘us rea- sons. Duke McCurry‘ s absence through :i injuries sustained at Iroquois Falls was El one of the handicaps endured by [im- mins. Angus Campbell, Cobalt, was the referee, and the timers were 0. iFiocd, of New L‘iskeard and T M. :lWhite, of Timmins. The Timmins :1 team: -â€"Koster, goal; Cox and McGuire : defence, Cameron, Kelly and Brennan, . forwards; McCurry and Campbell. ; spares. Liskeardzâ€"Elliot, goal; Hog- ) garth and S. Eplett, defence; Burns, 1 Thompson and Spence, forwards; C. _ Eplett and Robertson, spares. The Advance got ttn'ned aside to re- ference to the Ontario Temwrance Act. the Farmers‘ Governmtem and other extraneous matters 'so that the situation does not appear very plain at this distance of ten years. The Ad- vance claimed to note two black sha- iows on the North Land ten years ago ‘One was the shadow of the Farmers 3overnment. suggesting a hard winter 11 the year for the North Land." said the Advance. “The other black sha- low looked a little Raney and may nean a continued dry spell with home- )rew storms and several drops in the .emperature. chiefly Hoffman drops. If the hear was wise he would go back ‘nd sleep until the shadows lifted from he land, as they surely will sometime." Some,months ago reference was made in The Advance to the organization of a district organizatron for the Boy Scouts. It,is interesting to note that: ten years ago such a district organiza- 3 Lion was proposed. At that time there were Boy Scout tr00ps at Timmins, Cochrane, Iroquois Falls, Smooth Rock Falls, Cobalt, New Liskeard, Hailey- bury and Hearst. The Timmins tr00p had some 23 members. Rev. R. S. Cashing, who probably did more fori the Boy Scout movement than anyl other man in this part of the North, was Scoutmaster of the Tlmmins tresp, and he had a very able and earn- es; co-w-orker ten years ago in W. J. Mitchell, the Assistant Scoutmaster here. Ten years or so ago the Provin- cial Headquarters appointed a District! Scoutmaster who was to visit the vari- ous troop; in the big district then'i known as Temiskaming and comprising t what is now known as North and South Cochrane and Temiskaming. Follow- ing the appointment of the District Scout-master plans were made for a! district organization. ! The advertising in a local newspaper throws so much light on business men and affairs in a community that every. once in a while The Advance feels like making reference to the advertisements in the issues of ten years ago. In The ‘Advance of Feb. 8th, 1922, there were two full-page advts. One was an an- nouncement by the Hollinger Stores that A S. Stapells, representing the McElvoy Manufacturing Co, makers of Royal Garments, would be at the store for two days with a compliete line of silk, cloth and summer dresses. the latest, in fashions and fabrics. The display made a big hit here according to the next issue of The Advance. no less than 80 special orders being, given f or these “Royal Garments." The other full-page advertisement was one by Feldman Bros, announcing the con- .inuance of the wholesale and retail meat and grocery business at the corner of Balsam street and Third avenue, with W. McCracken in charge of the store. and Jas. Ralph in charge of the grocery department. Other large advertise- ments in the issue includedzâ€"The Geo. Taylor Hardware, The Victor Gramo- phone. N. Blahey, New Empire Thea- tre, H. Goode (agent for Ames Holden Rubber FootWear). Timmins Skating Rink, and Curtis Drug Compmy. There were also the following other advertisers included in the issue:â€" Mackay‘s Cash and Carry Store, Chas. P. Grill, H. F. Schroeder, Leo Mascioli, R. F. Argles, W. H. Buckley.

Bachelor Cigar There were sixteen want. advts. in the issue. Last week The Advance carried fifty-seven classified advts., which shows a notable growth since 1922. There were 51 advertisers using dis~ play space in the issue of Feb. 8th. 1922. A casual glance suggests that Town of Timmins, James McGale (Pianos and GramOphones). Burke's Drug Store, Hamilton B.

As a. matter of fact 29 out cf th 51 are still in business. Among the local and personal items in The Advance on Feb. 8th, 1922, were the followingzâ€"“Acoording to notices posted last week in Hailey-bury, seizur: was made by the sheriff of property owned by J. S. Groch in Cobalt and Haileybury. Mr. Groch traded under the name of Grodwards Co. The plain- tiff in the case was the Goodrich Rub- ber Co." “I. K.

McLaughlin, of Toronto, is a visitor to the camp this week." “Miss A. von Zuben, of Toron- to, is visiting her sisters, Mrs. Sher- man Duggan and Mrs. Fred Duggan." “Chief Greer is on the sick list but is progressing to recovery." “Bornâ€"To Mr. and Mrs. W.

Miss Pellock is to be mar- ried in the near futurer and her many riends here will very sincerely extend the best of good wishes.” “D. M:- Eachran. formerly mayor of Cobalt, and recently Liberal candidate in the Dominion election for Temiskaming riding. was a visitor to Timmins on Saturday. He was in this part of the North with the commission appointed by the Ontario Government to investi- gate unemployment and the dimculties encountered by the settlers this winter." “The Iroquois Falls paper mill is now turning out newsprint paper at the rate of 455 tons per day.” “Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Burke left on Sunday for the South, intending to spent some time in Florida for the benefit of Mrs. Burke’s health." “Notices were posted in Kirkland Lake some days ago announc- ing a cut in wages of 50 cents per day. Another notice announces a. reduction of 15 cents per day in board." “The firm of T. S. Woallings d: 00., whose headquarters are at. Connaught, are making a record these days by shipping approximately a hundred cars of pulp per week from local points along the ar that he had passed one of the tests for the Observation badge. This test calls for blindfold identification of ten spices and drugs in separate paper bags. Do you know the other tests? Premier Jchn Hunter and Minister of Finance Briggs Jack, of the Older B-oys’ Parliament. have issued a pro- clamation in regard to the bondâ€"selling campaign for the support of the work for boys in th: province. The cami paign is off to a good start and every member of the parliament is right on their toes. There are four thousand boys out. on the warpath and the men are backing up the boys splendidly. With the memory of last year’s short- age, they says, everybody seems de- termined to get there this year. “We believe we can get our $13,000.00, "pro- vided we all keep working up to the 17th." they conclude. Flashes from the field in regard to the bond-selling campaign note that 'n Timmins the men are backing the boys to the limit, and the campaign ‘hould be more successful than in 1931. I‘cronto has 500 boys working ln the temptaign and expects to do better hm last year. Two of the Toronto ‘cys expect to raise over $400.00 be- \' een them. Sault Ste. Marie did litâ€" .15: last year, but expects to do quite a bit this time. Guelph expects to raise $100.00 more than in.193l. In Wind- sor the objective will likely be doubled. As for Noranda that centre also pro- mises to double the 1931 receipts Lindsay did not sell any bonds last year. but, is in the work this year. Hamilton is going strong. Oshawa is another town in the work this year after miss- ing a few years. Some important suggestions are made from headquarters. These include the followingzâ€"“Keep in touch with your group; don‘t let things slump. Em courage boys to sell bonds right up to the 15th. Returns must be in our office by the 17th to count in Grand Cham- pionship awards. Encourage every mother's son to sell $5.00 of bonds. If 4,000 boys did that we would be well away. And finally, let’s forget about objectives and raise all we can. That’s the spirit of the Eleventh and that's what will bring us success." BOYS' PARLIAMENT PREMIER CONFIDENT OF BIG SUCCESS John Hunter, premier of the Older Boys' Parliament, says the campaign for the sale of bonds now in progress for the financing of boys' work in this province should be a notable success this year. Admitting that times are hard, it is pointed out that this fact is not discouraging the boys' parliament nor is it (18. ening the youthful en- thusiasm of t e thousands of Trail Rangers, Tuxis Boys and Sunday School lads across Ontario. Premier John Hunter, after addras. - ing numerous meetings throughout the province, is enthusiastic. He says it 15 not going to be easy but that, he is quite confident the parliament’s cam-- palgn to raise $13,000.00 through the sale of bonds is going to succeed. The boys, he says, feel that they have a worthy cause and that the people of Ontario will support it provided they are given the opportunity. To give them that opmrtunity four thousand Trail Ranger and Tuxis boys are now selling bonds for better boyhood in every nook and corner of the province. Certainly no less than 285 centrw are actively engaged. It is interesting to note that during the past ten years the bays of the pro- Vince have raised $100,000.00 in order to finance the work carried on under the auspices of the Ontario Boys’ Work Board. Here is a movement in which the boys pay their own way. Public- minded citizens everywhere will want to support them in this worthy purpose. There are a number or boys in Tim- mins busy at present selling the bonds. They are meeting with good suocms. Anyone approached in the matter should give the boys at gocd hearing in any event, and if practical should in- vest in one or more of these bonds. which an their face are designed to build b'e'tter citizenship in the province.
