In Cobalt, the yelief comâ€" mittee is cut to less than half by reâ€" signation and the absence of Rev. Father Martindale, who will be away for four months. Figures prepared in Cobalt show the total cost of relief for the six months ending March 31 was $17,.158.34, of which the town‘s share was $3.431.68. In March there were 129 families on relief, with 501 depenâ€" dents, plus 28 single men, while the March bill alone to governments and municipality was $3,995.75, of which the town pays 20 per cent., or $799.15." According to Reeve Alex. McRea, speaking to the reporter yesterday, reâ€" lief is costing Bucke approximately $400 per month, representing the township‘s proportion of 20 per cent of $2,000. He said there were about 400 people in Bucke receiving relief, and Council felt that. if the government would take over the township‘s share, the municiâ€" pality would be in a position to keep its schools running. The situation was serious, municipal authoritiee stated. Haileybury Council will hold a special all having their troubles with the wearyâ€" ing cost of direct relief. Many of them do not know which way to turn to get money to meet their obligations. When relief is largely at the bottom of their difficulties the situation seems the more regrettable. It is bad enough to pile up debts to pay for needed services andl for advantages, but to collect taxes or incur debts for something like direct relief is a hardship indeed, with nothâ€" ing to show for it all, but evil results and injury to the future. The Haileyâ€" burian lest week had the following to Municipalities in the North Land arel say in regard to the situation of twol Northern municipalities:â€" "The relief problem continues to bear heavily on the district municipaliâ€"| ties, and two of them have asked the, Dominion and Provincial governments to assume the entire cost within their bounds. Bucke township and Haileyâ€" bury have taken this step, and both: have had their requests refused thmugh' J. A. Ellis in charge of the work at Toronto. Bucke Council met inform-‘ ally on Tuesday night, and as a result the township‘s financial position will be brought to the attention of Premier G. S. Henry, and Hon. W. A. Gordon, K.C,., M.P. I then got the alphabetical list of the names and locations of .all settlers in the territory of Abitibi and I do not find amongst them the name of the person who sent the telegram to the hon. member for Temiscouata. I also made inquiry with respect to the placâ€" ing of settlers in the Temiscouata conâ€" stituency and I find that, as regards the settlers who were assisted by this govâ€" ertnment to locate there, we have only two and that they both signify to the committee that they are doing very well. I believe there are other settlers there who were placed by the province of Quebec, and of course I have no reâ€" port upon their condition because that is a matter essentially for the province to deal with. Problems of Relief in Northern Municipalities _â€"_In the House of Commons at Ottawa last week Mr. Pouliot, member for Temiscouata, Que., made statements in regard to the settlers in the Rouyn disâ€" trict that seemed to call for reply or explanation. According to Mr. Pouâ€" liot‘s statement the settlers referred to had been induced to go on the land through the inducements held out to them by the Dominion Government and others and.that now they were actually faced with starvation and were receivâ€" ing no attention from the authorities. To this statement Hon. W. A. Gordon made effective reply. It is a matter for regret that Mr. Pouliot was not in his place in the House to receive the reply when it was made in the regular course of business. The newspapers have carâ€" ried ‘the reply of Hon. Mr. Gordon just as they did the address by Mr. Poulit, but so that the reply may be official and not open to question, The Advance is giving the exact account appear'mgl in Hansard, the official report of de-! bates and proceedings for the House of Commons. Hansard under date of Thursday, April 29th, 1933, says:â€" Condition of Settlers in Rouyn and Other Parts of Quebec. Hon. W. A. GORDON (Minister of Labour): Yesterday the hon. member for Temiscouata (Mr. Pouliot) made reference to some settler in the Rouyn district of Quebec, who claimed ‘to have been in very difficult circumstances and, I believe, was said to be in danger of starving to death, and I ga,’meredl from the cbservations made by the hon.; member that this settler was induced to go on the land partly by this governâ€" ment, in conjunction with the province of Quebec and the municipalities. Re-! ow tm« ference was also made to other settlers. I have received toâ€"day a telegram from Mr. J. E. Laforce, who acts for the Canadian National Railways on ‘the committee with respect to this work.! The telegram, if I may be permitted to| read it, is as follows:â€"Relative stateâ€" ment the Gazette this morning. No families back to land were placed Rouyn or immediate surroundings. 'Nol back to land families province Quebec, in distress provided they have shown willingness to work.â€"J. E. Laforce. Hon. W. A.

("Pep") Paisley, local attorâ€" ney, made the presentation on behalf of those present, and Jerry, in a neat speech, voiced his thanks and appreâ€" ciation for the honour by singling out each of his friends for some particular | menticn. Before the presentation was made the party enjoyed a turkey dinner with all the trimmings and pledged the departing guest‘s success in toasts. Jerry has been a resident of Kirkland for the past 20 months, and during this time was assistant manager of the local Woolworth store. He has been proâ€" | moted to the assistant managership of ' the store in Timmins and left here last |Sunda,y to take over his new duties. | While bhere Jerry was active in anumâ€" 'ber of theatrical presentations, always giving his services in a cheerful manâ€" ner, and in sport circles he was identiâ€" 'fied with ‘basketball and badminton. | He was well known for his work in such amateur stage productions as "Calamâ€" | ity Jane," "Peg O‘ My Heart" and | "Stop Thief." i â€"The Northern News, of Kirkland Lake, last week had the following:â€" "Theatrical and sport circles in Kirkâ€" land Lake sustained a distinct loss last week with the departure of Jerry Tucker for Timmins. Regret at his departure was counled with good wishes over his promotion to a post of more lresponsi'bility during a farewell party ‘tendered in his honour at the Gold Range hotel last Friday night when he was presented with a handsome cigarâ€" ette case at a "stag" gathering of about Timmins town council will be held on : e > Mconday next, May 8th, commencing R.

Following the incident, the books were placed in the possession of Mcâ€" Curry and Reynolds, counsel for the defence. Recently, the cash book and minute book were returned to Russell by P. W.

The one and only "Porky" who appeared in the uniforms of Toronto, Detroit, Seattle, Wash., hockey teams, and a number of other teams, wouldn‘t be amiss to takâ€" ing a jJob here if somebody would offer him one, so that he can keep in shape for next year‘s ice game, it was learnâ€" ed.

"Porky" is a former Timmins boy. He‘s 22 now and has been playing "Pro‘"‘ hockey since he was 17. His address here is @t 143 Duncan avenue with K. Kelman." "PORKY‘ LEVINE HAS TAKEN UP RESIDENCE AT KIRKLAND LAKEF "Warmer days brought with them a flood of transients. And many of them came into Kirkland looking for work. Last Monday half a dozen men came in from Cochrane and a married The hardships of the transients in many cases appeal to pesople who on the spur of the moment might be inâ€" clined to help out these visitors one way or another. It should be rememâ€" bered, however, that the first duty is to the bonaâ€"fide resident of the commiuinâ€" tiy. In this connection it is well worth while to read the following from the last issue of The Northern News and study out all its various implications:â€" man reached here from Hearst,. Havyâ€" ing no money nor any place to eat he turned up at the municipal soup kitâ€" chen and told welfare authorities how he happened to come here for employâ€" ment. "I figured T‘d get a job hereâ€" some kind of a job," he told township Relief Officer William . Johnston. "We‘ve got too many people out of work here as it is," the officer told him. "How about some of our cwn people getting jobs who‘ve been living here for 10 and 15 years? They come first, you know.‘"" The Hearst man, however, reâ€" vealed little concern over the plight of Kirkland‘s bonaâ€"fide jobless. It wasn‘t any concern of his, he indicated." Fordwich Record:â€"Believe it or not â€"a@a tree that was severed completely through at the butt, after being notâ€" ched, was so well balanced that it would not fall. So the woodsmanâ€"a farmer near Fordwich and an assistant from St. Mary‘sâ€"left it overnight thinking the wind would cause it to topple, but when they returned next morning the tree was still standing. A crowbar was necessary to overbalance it, and this dangerous task was acâ€" complished without mishap; remember, it was cut right off. W. Pinlayson to be present as a guest. It appears from letter received at the Falls from Hon. Mr. Finlayson that he expects to be in the North early in May and that he will be glad then to explain and discuss the whole road question. He may discuss it all right, but how can it be explained? What possible exâ€" planation can be given for the proposal that the roads of the North be allowed to go to rack and ruin? Where is the three million dollars voted for Northâ€" etn Development by the Legislature at its recerit session, if the department now has not sufficient money to carry out proper maintenance as Hon. Mr. Finlayson suggests? It would appear that a banquet to Hon.

The Iroquois Falls and District Motor Club intend holding their anâ€" nual banquet some time in May, and they have considered the idea of having the event on a date that will allow Hon. IROQUOIS FALLS MOTOR CLUB MAY BANQUET FINLAYSON To Close North Bay American Consulate This action has been decided upon due to changed conditions that have arisen in the past few years. The conâ€" sular officers now at North Bay are expected to be assigned to other posts as yet not selected. From H. C. Von Struve, American Consul at North Bay, Ont., The Adâ€" vance last week received the following letter which explains itself. On Friâ€" day last Consul Von Struve received notice from the Secretary of State at Washington, D.C., that the North Bay consulate would be closed. Conditions at the present time suggest that the work may be carried on at Toronto without serious difficulty and the closâ€" ing of the North Bay office comes unâ€" der the general tendency towards measâ€" ures of economy. The North Bay conâ€" sulate was opened in 1894, nearly forty years ago, The consuls and viceâ€"conâ€" suls at North Bay have always been popular and have won general respect in the North. At the present time the consul is Vion Struve and the viceâ€" consul is James R. Riddle, both of these officials having made wide circles of friends in this part of Canada. Their transfers to other parts will be much regretted. The following is the letter from North Bay:â€" American Consular Service North Bay, Ont., April 28th, 1933 To The Porcupine Advance, Timmins, Ontario, Canada. Sirs:â€"The following information might prove of interest to your readers, as your community is included in the present North Bay Consular district. The American Consulate at North Bay will be officially closed on June 30, 1933, and the business of the office transferred to the Consulateâ€"General at Toronto. All persons in this part of Northern Ontario desiring to go to the Uniited States or having other business in connection with the United States should after that date communicate with the Consulateâ€"General at Toronto. There were some senslational episodes in the recent hearing of evidence at Amos in the case of the appeal for a new trial of Joé Lukawiesky, of Norâ€" anda, under sentence of death for the alleged killing of Steve Cleychuk on Baster Sunday last year. One of the incidents was the attempt of the prisâ€" oner to hit one of the witnesses as the latter was passing out of the courtroom at the close of the hearing. Lukawieâ€" sky called this witness (W. Dumbroski) and held out his right hand as if he wished to shake hands, As the two men clasped hands, Inikawiesky atâ€" tempte to draw Dumbronki towards him and at the same time tried to strike the witness with his left hand. As the hands of the two men were moist they slipped so that Dumb»roski was able to evade the iblow aimed ‘at him. The court interpreter and other court offiâ€" clals at once restrained Lukawiesky from further attempts at violence. Dumbroski was one of the crown‘s witâ€" nesses and had been with the convicted man just before the killing. Another dramatic episode was the withdrawal from the case of the counsel for the defence, A. Goxistone, of Montreal, who retired from the case when his dbjection to the calling of previouslyâ€" heard witnesses was overâ€"ruled by the court. The crown prosecutOr, Felix Alâ€" lard, of Amos, while claiming the right of the crown to call rebuttal evidence, offered to allow Mr. Goodstone to crossâ€"examine any witness called by the crown, but the defence laawyer reâ€" fused to do this and left the courtroom. When he saw his lawyer leave the court Lukawieski, who was in the prisâ€" oner‘s dock, sought to follow him but was detained and the situation exâ€" plained to him. Not to be beaten Lukawleski immediâ€" ately tocock up the crossâ€"examination of the rebuttal witnesses himself, a task at which he showed considerable abiliâ€" ty and astuteness, as well as great ability as a linguist, crossâ€"examining the witnesses in their own language, Ukrainian, Polish and English. And during the hearing Lukawieski several times corrected the translations of the court into English. showing that he was following every word thatâ€"was uttered with great keenâ€" The evidence given by the defence witnesses was to the effect that they had been present and seen the events leading up to the killing of Cleychuk, who, they claimed, had been the agâ€" gressor and had threatened Lukawieski vith a beer bottle, PRISONER TRIES TO HIT WITNESS IN MURDER CASE The crown witnesses in rebuttal disâ€" puted the statements of the defence witnesses that they had been present, or could have seen what happened.
