Those in charge of the arrangements certainly made a very successful effort for the event proved popular and notable success. Before the evening was over there were a number of reâ€" quests for another event of the same kind and under the same auspices, which is, perhaps, the best praise that can be won. The attendance at the Shrine Club dance was large, Timmins and Schumacher being especially well represented, while South Porcupine, Dome and other parts of the camp contributed their quotas of guests and there was a good representation from Troquois Falls. The Sullivanâ€"Ormston Merrymakers orchestra provided a fine programme of modern dance music and gll other features were up to the same high standards. A touch of distinction was given to the event by the number of Shriners present wearing the fez of the Order. A buffet lunch was served in the dining: salon of the hall..

It apâ€" pears that in different parts of Ontario itinerant vendors are actively engaged in peddling cartons of Christmas tree sets, collecting the money at the time of sale and leaving no address or giving a fictitious one.

These peddlers have given receipts for sales with fictitious addresses and the men through these receipts, license numâ€" ber on cars they may use, endorsation of cheques given, or other means. The Christmas tree sets are not approved by the Hydro and so could not be used, even if they were sent..â€" The fact of the case is, however, that while collections have been made elsewhere thereâ€" have ‘been no sets furnished nor can the peddlers be traced..

Majority for Mayor Drew, 113. Counâ€" cillors Elected: Dr. Honey, J. Morrison, R. Richardson, J. K. Massie, Geo. W. Parsons and Moise Maltais. Dr. Honey Heads the Polls. . L. Honey, a member of the * . ASSOCIATION TO FING, MONDAY NE At the municipal elections in Timâ€" mins on Monday of this week, Geo. S. Drew, mayor of Timmins for the past four years, was reâ€"elected as mayor for 1933. The councillors elected for the coming year were Dr. S. L. Honey, J. Morrison, R. Richardson, J. K. Massie, Geo. W. Parsons and Moise Maltais. The vote polled on Monday was the largest in the history of the town. The exact number of voters is not known, but accepting the idea that all voting marked their ballots for mayor there must have been 4321 voting. There may have been a few who voted for councillors but did not vote for mayor, but if so the number was not material and the total vote for mayoralty canâ€" didates may be accepted as such as constitutes a record. Last year with 3003 votes cast (on the basis of adding the votes for the two mayoralty canâ€" didates) a record was made that shatâ€" tered the preévious record made in March, 1926, when the total vote was 1,889. The 19286 vote it may be noted was about double that cast in any preâ€" vious election. It is estimated that about 70 per cent. of the possible vote was polled on Monday and this is a large percentage, last year‘s record vote being only 60 rier cent. of those entitled to vote. _ m This year‘s election campaign" was not so strenuous as the one last year. While there were several campaign meetings held under the auspices of the recentlyâ€"formed Ratepayers‘ Associaâ€" tion, they did not rouse much general public â€"interest, being confined largely to those instrumental in forming the Ratepayers‘ Association. Except as nucleus for the organization for the candidates endorsed by the association the Ratepayers‘ Asscciation did not inâ€" filuence the campaign to any appreciâ€" able extent. The campaign eventually resolved itself into a contest between two slates, the one representing the Ratepayers‘ Association and the other representative of the body of citizens who felt that the 1982 council had givâ€" en good servce and that the town could not do better than reâ€"elect them.. On %,R( M"t thisspringiple :Dr.â€" Money son and J. Morrisofi ‘of the piresent council, and Messrs. J. K. Massic and b'. G. W. Parsons,. who expressed. themâ€" : selves as in support of the careful . policy they felt had been f_o_llo_wed durâ€" ing the past year, made their appeal to the electors. The Ratepayers Asâ€" scciaticn slate suggested the election of new men, though in the main the candidates, with the exception of N. Thachuk, were moderate in their criâ€" ticism of the present council. . The verdict of the electors on Monday was decisive, only one of those endorsed by the Ratepayers‘ Association hemg elected. The contest on Monday was a very keen ‘one as indicated by the large vote polled. Both sides had effective organizations and there was good faciliâ€" ties afforded for bringing voters to the polis. Speaking generally, the bulk of the voting was done early, much earlier than in previous years. While the vote shows that there was a remarkably keen interest in the selecâ€" tion of the council for 1933, the special feature of the day was of course in reâ€" gard to the vote for the mayoralty candidates. The total vote cast for Geo. S. Drew was 2,217, while J. E. H. Chateauvert received 2,104. The maâ€" jority for Mayor Drew was thus 113. Last year Mayor Drew had a majority of 299 over Mr. Chateauvert. In view of the larger vote cast this year Mr. Chateauvert made an unusually good run. This is the fifth time Mayor Drew has been elected as mayor of Timmins. He was elected for the years 1929, 1930 and 1931 by acclamation. Previous to 1929 Mr. Drew served for five years as % municipal councillor for Timmins. He was in third rYace among the counâ€" cillors elected for 1924 and for 1925 was elected by acclamation. There were bwo elections forâ€" In the first Mr, Drew was elected in second place with 606 votes, which was 150 votes more than he had when he ran for the 1924 council. In the March election in 1926 Mr. Drew had 831 votes, or 225 more than in the previous election. For the 1927 council he headed the poll wth 1353 votes. He was elected by acclaâ€" mation for the 1928 council, ‘Out of the eleven elections he has been in, he has had the honour of five elections by agcclamation, three of these acclamaâ€" tions being for the mayor‘s chair. In the contest for. the seats on the 19383 council there were ten candidates. ‘The official returns give their total votes as follows:â€"â€"Dr. Honey, 2179; J. Morriâ€" son, 1967; R.
