The Ite Victor A. Woods was an enginscer with the Southern Railway and apparently he caught cold. His wife was away at the time, as she had beep called to her husband‘s parents on account of the. illness of Mr. and Mrs. Woods, Sr. Although Victor=WoRs was rushed to the hospiâ€" tal as soon as it was known that he was seriously ill, pneumonia developed and he passed away in a few days.

It was almost hard to conceive that the performance was reality when one considers that nearly all these children were born in Timmins and are attendâ€" ing local schools, yet in their spare hours and at night they mastered to such perfection one of the world‘s oldâ€" est languages as to be able to present it in a play in six acts, with full draâ€" matic effectsâ€"with the pathos and jJoy Space does not permit to> dwell upon the significance and effect this learnâ€" ing has upon the cultural developâ€" ment and intellect of these young minds, but we will point with admiraâ€" tion and give due to the men mostly responsible for this education. They are Mr. J. Baruch, their Hebrew teacher, and Mr. M. J. Brovender, chairman of the board of Hebrew eduâ€" cation.

Around seven O‘clock Mrs. Honga used kerosene to speed the lighting of the kitchen fire, the flames running up to the can and exploding around her. Mrs. Honga was terribly burned about the face and body. Her eighteenâ€"yearâ€" old daughter Bertha, went to her mothâ€" er‘s assistance and she was painfully but not seriously burned, the left foot being especially injured by the flames. Another daughter, about 19 years of age, had difficulty in escaping from the house in her night attire. A neighbour Mr. Altonen, made his way into the house to rescue Mrs. Honga. He was burned badly on the hands and face before he succeeded in getting her outâ€" Tsxde Neighbours came to the assisâ€" 'ta.nce of the family and Mrs. Honga, Bertha and Mr. Altonen were placed on the morning train and brought in to the Timmins hospital. Dr. Day gave the three patients all possible medical help and Miss Honga and Mr. Altonen are making good progress to recovery at St. Mary‘s hospital. Their injuries are very painful, but not likely to have serious consequences.

Hs had been in his usual health, apparently, during Sunâ€" day, had attended church in ths mornâ€" ing, and had sat up writing letters unâ€" til 10.30 that evening. Mr. Sharp was in his 79th year. "He first came to this district in 1896 when he was sent North by the Presâ€" bytery o° Lanark and Renfrew to make a survey of this section for missionary purposes. "At that time, he visited extensively in the lumber camps operating on the Quebec side of Lake Temiskaming and also among the settlers located on the Ontario side, afterwards returning to his university duties,. Six years later, Mr. Sharp resigned from Queen‘s to come North m>rmanently, and lived here since. Town May Publish a List of All Receiving Direct Relief Legality of Plan to be Ascertained First. _ Council of Opinion it Might Reduce Number of Those Asking for Reliecf from the Town. Other Matters Dealt with at the Regular Mceting of the Town Council on Monday. "Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1853 Mr. Sharp came to Ontario as a child with his parents. He received his eduâ€" cation at Queen‘s University, and was ordained into the Presbyterian church in 1892. Subsequently he was appointâ€" ed professor of English and philosophy in Morin College, and later went to Queen‘s where he was on the staff of the department 0o‘ philosofay, under the late Dr. John Watson. Since comâ€" ing to Temiskaming, Mr. Sharp had been closely identified with the settlers of New Liskeard, taking an active pari in affairs relating to agricultural conâ€" ditions. "Mr. Sharp was U.F.O. candidate Temiskaming in the provincial ele( tions of 1923, losing in a threeâ€"cornert fight.

The council evidently was of the opinion that if the list of those reâ€" ceiving direct relief were published it would have a tendency to stop some from asking the town for help in this way. Councillor Caron thought that one who was receiving direct relief should object to the publication, while the plan might assist in preventing those not entitled to relief from imâ€" posing on the town. Geo. S. Drew, was in the chair and Councillors A. Caron, Dr. 8. L. Honey, RK. Richardson J. T. Chenier, A. P. Dooley and J. Morrison were present. The session was a short one though a number of matters were dealt with. There were some rebates on taxes granted for valid and sufficient reasons. One of these was for income tax paild by a man later found to be a resident of Schumacher. Another was the case of a man who had been garnisheed for taxes on income while he had paid the taxes the day the garnishee was imâ€" posed. Still another motion covered the writing off of 62 cents penalty in 1931 for property taxes made out by mistake to J. P. Bartleman. Authâ€" ority was given for the writing off the rolls of the amount of $181.02 for taxes on building taken off the lot by Marâ€" cil Riard. There was some discussion on the fcllowing motion:â€" ‘"Moved by Councillor A. Caron and seconded by Councillor R. Richardson. that Mr. Dunn be authorized to keoep a book and report of the direct relief. to be published in The Porcupine Adâ€" vance every month, mentioning names and addresses." Mayor Drew was not sure the plan was a desirable one and suggested that it might not be legal. Dr. Honey asked if any inspection could be provided to guard the public healith in the case .of waitresses At hotels and cakes who might be sufâ€" fering from infectious diseases. He said he had heard several complaints in reâ€" gard to cases where it seemed that the public health might be endangered. In reply to the point raised by Dr. Honey it was pointed out that this would seem to be a matter for the board of hea‘th to deal with. Any complaint along this line would no doubt be promptly dealt with if made to Dr. Moore, M. H. O.
