The accident occurred between 8.30 and 8.45 p.m. Tuesday, and so the light was not so good as it might have. There was enough light, however, to allow the bear to be seen with conâ€" siderable clearness and it was quite evident that he was a particularly big animal. Bears have been specially numerous this year around Matheson, Shillington, and Other places in this part of the North, but this is the first time that bears have been reported on the road between Porquis Junction and Timmins. The size of this bear was specially noted, while his weight was made manifest by the extent of the damage done to the car. Mr. Fortin ran the car home after the accident. He had the car around town on Wedâ€" nesday morning and many were interâ€" ested in the evidences of qauite a danâ€" gerous collision. Around the front of the car there were many signs to show what had occurred the previous night. One of these signs was the presence of numbers of hairs from the body of the bear. In referring to the collision the next day, Mr. Fortin said that it all hapâ€" pened so quickly that those in the car had little time to think before it was all over. He and Mr. Carpenter were both in the front seat of the car and he fully expected that the glass in the front of the car would be smashed by the collision and that they would both be showered by the broken glass. The car, however, escaped this sort of inâ€" he fully expected front of the car the collision and be showered by t car, however, esc jury. Last week The Advance published a despatch from Haileybury to the effect that Constables Alex Craik and E. F. Hartlieb, provincisl police officers staâ€" tioned at Timmins, were to be transferâ€" red, Constable Craik going to Hailleyâ€" bury and Constable Hartlicb to Elk Lake. Later in the week word came from Haileybury that the transfer had been cancelled and that Constables Hartliecb and Craik would remain here aAs provincial police officers. The many friends the two have made in the town and district during the several yvears The bear was struck with such force that the animal was thrown back into the ditch. When the accident happenâ€" ed the car had slowed down almost to a stop, the brakes being instantly apâ€" plied as soon as the bear came in view. The brakes were applied with such force and effect that the car turned right around in the road and when Mr. Forâ€" tin got out of the car after the accident to see what damage had been done, it was found that the car, which had been on the way to Timmins, had turned so that it was facing back towards Porâ€" quis Junction though the motor had been headed for Timmins when the collision occurred. PROVINCIAL POLICE HERE NOT TO BE TRANSFERRED NOW Before Messrs Fortin and Carpenter had a chance to do anything, the bear had picked himself up from the ditch and with all sorts of grunts and bear grumbles he rapidly made his way into the bush at the side of the road and soon was out of sight. The animal did not seem to be much injured. It would appear that he was not so much damâ€" aged as the car. 5 provincia®ii poliite oificers. Ine many friends the two have made in the town and district during the several years they have given efficient service here will be pleased at the cancellation of the transfers in these cases. J. L, Fortin, of the Burns Co. wholeâ€" sale house, Timmins, was driving from Porquis Junction to Timmins on Tuesâ€" day evening. With him in the car was A. G. Carpenter, of Winnipeg, an offiâ€" clal of the sales department of the Burns Co. About two miles out from Porquis Junction they noted a bear on the road. Mr. Fortin who was drivâ€" ing at once applied the brakes, as he did not wish to have a collision with a bear, and particularly one that looked so big and heavy as this large fellow. Although the car seemed to desire to avoid a collision with the bear, the latâ€" ter appeared to think that everything would give way to it. In any event the bear continued walking across the road as if were specially built for the use of bears. The driver of the car did all possible to avoid hitting the bear but the bear kept on crossing the road. The car was brought to a stop in a very short space of time but not quick enough to miss the bear. The support holding "the front marker of the car was hit by the body of the bear driven against the front fender of the car with such force that the metal of the fender was badly marred and bent. The two horns on the front of the car also suffered, as did the mudâ€"guards and the bumper/ The front of the car showed plainly that it had been in a collision, the various pieces of metal in front all being twisted and bent. An unusual motor car accident is reported this week as happening on Tuesday evening on the road from Porâ€" quis Junction t>o Timmins. A bear crossing the road was hit by a car and thrown into the ditch but was asle to get up and get away. The front of the car was quite noticeably damaged, proving that a bear is a bad outfit to collide with. Big Bear Crossed the Road in Front of Car on Tuesday Night About 8.30. Front of Car Damaged.

More than the usual number of ruâ€" mours seemed to grow from this acciâ€" dent, but fortunately the reports were all unfounded. These rumours were to the effeét that the accident had not been reported, that the driver did not give immediate attention, that the youngster had died, and so on. It is pleasing to note that all these rumours had no basis in fact. The driver had been driving carefully and did all humanly possible to avoid the accident. After the accident had hapâ€" pened everything possible was done for the little girl and then the accident was duly reported. It is particularly pleasing to know that the little girl is not seriously injured in any permanent way and that she is now well on the way to complete recovery from the inâ€" juries and shock sustained. Seventeenth Annual Fire Brigade Ball Notable Event to be Held at Masonic Hall on Tuesday Evening of Next Week, May 23rd. There will be a Good Time for All. On Monday evening of this week about nine o‘clock, Betty Hartt, the little granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. Ruir, 62 Mountjoy street, was struck by a motor car at the corner of Mountâ€" jJoy street and Second avenue, and at first it was feared that the child had been seriously injured. The youngster| apparently ran out in front of the car | and although effort was made to avoid | hitting her, it was not possible to do so.! Fortunately the car was not travelling at rapid pace, but the youngster was thrown heavily and struck her head in, the fall. The driver of the car at once hurried the child to Dr. Moore‘s effice | and from there she was taken to St. Mary‘s hospital, it being feared that she might have a fractured skull as a result of the accident. All will be pleased to know that the little girl is’ now out of the hospital and well on thet way to recovery from the accident. After taking the youngster to medical attention, the driver of the car, E. Richâ€" ards, reported the accident to the police. » Youngster Runs Across in Front of Car and Sustains Slight Fracture of the Skull. . Out of Hospital Now and on Way to Reâ€" covery, Motorists Should Observe the Law at Stop Signs TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 18TH, 1933 | _ The chief single item of damage was the blowing down of both the grandâ€" l stards at the Timmins athletic grounds. In each case the high wind blew off the roof of the stands and as the roof was torn away, the seats were also ripâ€" ped up. The damage done to the stands will be about two hundrsed dolâ€" },la At the time the Grouncds Comâ€" mittee had men at work on the grounds lmaking improvements for the season. A feow minutes before the wind blew down the stands some small youngsters were noticed playing on the seats. When the stands went over with a crash there was some anxiety for fear ! that the youngsters might have been hurt. However, it was found that with the proverbial luck of playing youngâ€" sters they had moved away a few minâ€" lutes before the stands turned over. The grandstands will be repaired at once in readiness for the various sports of the season. 4 Sincere sympathy will be extended ‘)y wide circles of friends here to Rev. Bruce Millar, of the Timmins United Church, in the death at Woodstock, Ont., on Friday last, of his mother. Rev. Mr. Millar and Mrs. Millar were called south some days before on acâ€" count of the serious illness of Mr. Milâ€" lar‘s mother, who passed away on Friâ€" day. Saturday afternoon Timmins was visited by one of the wors; wimdstiorms noted here in many years, The high | wind did considerable damage in the !ag‘gregate though most of the individâ€" ual damage was of minor sort. Some signs were blown down and some others inrjJured. The occasional board fence was damaged or laid low. A few garage doors suffered. The most common form taken by the damage was in the way of injury to roofs. Roofing paper was torn Or blown off a large number of roofs on houses, while verandahs, porches and additions to houses sufferâ€" | ed still more. Monday of this week there was a large and enthusiastic turnout of bandsmen at the practice. The bandsâ€" men are taking up the work with spirit and effectiveness and Bandmaster Wolâ€" no says that he is certainly pleased with the talent and interest now availâ€" able. Sunday May 21st, at 2 p.m. there will be a meeting at the band room in the Central public school, and any new band players and all old friends playing formerly in the band here will be given very sincere welcome. Under the leadership of Bandmaster F. J, Wolno the Timmins Citizens‘ Band is getting ‘back into its oldâ€"time form of excellence. It is expected that beâ€" fore the visit here of the Governorâ€" General,the Earlâ€"of Bessborough, and the Countess of Bessborough, on June Ith, the band will be at its best again and ready for the occasion of the viceâ€" regal visit with a programme that will please all. It will be remembered that on previous occasions of similar kind the Timmins band took a prominent and very pleasing part and assisted very materially in making the events suecessful and pleasing. It is hoped to help again in similar fashion on June 7th, and to this end the band is carryâ€" ing on regular practices. Bandmaster Wolno has roused the oldâ€"time enthustâ€" asm and harmony in the band and many former members of the organizaâ€" tion are back in their places, with the result that the organization promises to be better than ever.} There is a large array of very capable band talent in town and with these working toâ€" gether as they are now there is surety of a band that will be a credit to its members and to the town.

For some days past the despatches all seemed to indicate grave danger of anâ€" other European war, with Hitler, of Germany, looked upon as the probable cause of the trouble. Some of the opinions coming from Germany aApâ€" peared to indicate an arrogant and aggressive policy that could not lead to peace. The German attitude brought very stern disapproval from France, Britain and the United States. Over the T.

In connection with the Porcupine Fish and Game Protective Association work, it may be noted that requisitions for trout and pickerel for all the streams in this district have already been sent in and approved by the local member, A. F. Kenning, MP.P., and by the Fish and Game Department at Toâ€" ronto. The Gun Club is to be reâ€"organized at a later date. The Gun Club features of the former Rod and Gun Club apâ€" peal to many and there is no doubt but that this branch of the old association will be reâ€"organized on a sound basis and continue to function for the adâ€" vantage of the many interested. The new association has made an auspicious start and there is every rea=â€" son to believe that not only will it find general popular support, but that it will be able to benefit the district in noteâ€" worthy way in the matter of conservaâ€" tion of fish and game. The regular membership fée for the Porcupine Fish and Game Protective Association will be $3.00 a year, as in the past. It is hoped that every perâ€" son interested in hunting and fishing will join this association. Membership fees may be paid to W. J. F. Cosser, at the McIntyre Mine; A. W. Young, at the Hollinger Mine; or to J. G. McCrea, or J. D. Brady, at the London Life office, Timmins. The work of the new association will cover a large field in the interest of protection to the game and fish in this district. . Recommendations will be made to the Department of Game and Fisheries at Toronto that all rods and guns in this district be licensed a small fee; each man paying a license fee to receive a button, and that he be given authority to act as a game warden, without any remuneration, and that each fire ranger acting for this district also be empowered with authority to act as game warden while on duty. In this way it is hoped that much of the present abuse of fish and game beâ€" ing destroyed will be stopped. Another special feature adopted by the Porcupine Fish and Game Protecâ€" tive Association is that junior members will be accepted into the association at a nominal fee of 25 cents. An educaâ€" tional programme will be carried out in all the schools of the district to emâ€" phasize the desirability and necessity for the preservation of fish and game.
