There should be double interest in these reports in view of the fact that the anâ€" nual meeting of the Porcupine Childâ€" ren‘s Aid Society will be held at 8 p.m. on Thursday evening next week, Sept. 20th, in the council chamber, Timmins. While it may be readily admitted that the Issal CAS. has accomplished much of good for the community and done a work well worth while, indeed, still it is equally apoarent that greater efâ€" forts will be possible with increased general interest and enthusiasm in the work. Up to the present the burden has fallen altogether upon a few good people. That they have responded so generously and unselfishly to every call upon . them only emphasizes the fact that with more activity interested so much more good would be possible. The officers and executive of the local CA.S. have been dcing splendid work for better citizenship, in a quiet way, without publicity or thought of praise. The work itself for them is its own reâ€" ward. To aid children to better health, better environment, better happiness, to rouss parents to greater attention, greater responsibility, greater dignity; to assure all children of a fair chance for the best in life!

Mr. Sykes had his back injured while at work at the Hollinger in Auâ€" gust, 1923, a piece of rock falling on him while he was eating his lunch. He was taken to Toronto for treatment by specialists, Dr. H. H. Moore personally attending the injured man on the trip to the city. Despite all that could be done for him he passed away at the hospital in Toronto. The late Allan Sykes was born in Sudbury. He came to Timmins before the war and enlisted here for overseas service. After the war he returned to Sudbury, than workâ€" at North Bay for a time, finally coming to the Hollinger in November, 1922, A widow, formerly Miss Beaulah Elliott, of Montreal, and a little girl, Mildred, were left to mourn the untimely death. Three brothers and two sisters also survived. There was a special memoriâ€" al service in the Salvation Army hall here, the late Mr. Sykes having been a popular and valued member of the Army in Timmins. Ten years ago Harold Thomas Cherry the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Cherry, and a little over eight years old, died as a result of a fall from a motor truck on which the lad was r.dâ€" ing. The lad struck his head on the hard road and medical skill proved unâ€" availing to save his life. Special mention was made :n The Advance ten years ago of the model wholesale warehouse erected in Timâ€" mins by the National Grocers. A desâ€" cription of the building and its equlpâ€" ment was given and reference made to the fact that Timmins was fast b>eâ€" coming the real wholesale town of the North by virtue of the equipment here for handling the business and the amount of business dealt with. allowing the use of his dance hall for the schcol purposes. The hall is being part.tioned off into three good classâ€" rcoms, with cloak rooms and other acâ€" The science room for the high school will be in the Marshallâ€" Ecclestone block. This week one form of the high school has been carried on, but next week the classrcoms in King‘s hall will be all ready and the high school consequently will be ready for classes. As temporary quarters, the accommodation will be very good and Timmins high schcol is in luck in this respect, until such time as the new high school bullding will be ready for use." At the regular meeting of the town council ten years ago, the matter of a town market was brought before the council by Councsillor Bacon, but it was cenerally considered that it was too The following is from The Advance of Sept. 12th, 1923;:â€""Tuesday last, | Capt. and Mrs. Cornthwaite took charge of the Salvation Army work in Tiimmins and are carrying along the Army efâ€" late in the year to do anything in the matter. Mr. Banning called attention again to the blocking of the road to the north of the town by lumber piles, etec. As a consequence, Chas. Fierce Sons, who had been warned about the obstruction of the street, were sumâ€" moned to court by Chief Greetr. Wallingford again brought up the question of the dangerous corâ€" ner at the foot of Third avenue. He thought the lot at the northwest corner could be secured at reasonable price, and with this lot the town could widen the road to remove a great deal of the danger. The Advance of Sept. 12th, 1923, had the following:â€""The Timmins fire dbriâ€" gade made their usual record response to an alarm of fire on Monday shortly after 3 pm. The fire was in a small building back of the River Road, in Mattagami. The was the proâ€" perty of Mr. A. Anson, who had been boiling some tar for roof fixing. He left the tar on the stove and went out for a t‘ime. On his return he found the tar had boiled over and taken fire and was making a bad blaze. While he was fighting the blaze with water an alarm for fire was turned in. Mr. Anson yesâ€" terday remarked on the speedy response of the firemen. *"They were on the spot minutes before I thought they would get there and they certainly did fine work and saved me more loss." he said. The fire was put out by the use of the chemical tanks. About $500.00 damage was done. There was no insurance. The long run to this fire, and the fact that the nearest hydrant was several hundred feet away, again point the lesâ€" son of the usefulness of the motor truck equipment which the council decided by resolution to secure some months ago. In cases like this one the motor truck would have been worth many times its cost. It appears to be poor economy to "save" money on the purâ€" chase of such equipment at the expense of taking a chance on property and lives. The size of the town now makes equipment of this type practicall ya necessity. It will be a pity if the purâ€" chase of such equipment is left until it is forced home by serious loss or tragedy. The council should not allow the matter of a motor fire truck to be tragedy. T the matter sidetracked mine of .mporiance. it is [he iGea O this group of shareholders that the Triplex can be placed on a good footing and ‘with proper attention and manâ€" agement will make a success. This group of shareholders are hopeful that in a short time all the that have prevented development will shortâ€" ly be passed and the property go forâ€" late in the year to do matter.

Capt. Clague, who was formerly in charge at Timâ€" mins, has been transferred to Cobalt. Capt. M. Isherwood, another lady offâ€" cer who did splendid work here for the Army, was marrtied on Aug. 22nd, at ‘Toronto to Capt. R. Tidman of the Toronto S.A. Her many friends :n this district will extend very heartfelt good wishes." The Advance, together with other nowspapers in the province, protested very strongly against the false and inâ€" sulting inscription placed on the tombâ€" stone o the misguided North Bay young man who was shot down while ascaping fronm the police who sought him for the murder of two police offiâ€" sers in addition to other crimes. "Our Hero" were the words that were parâ€" ticularly offensive to all with a sense of decency and right. These words were eventually removed from the monument in the cemetery. Among the local and personal notes in The Advance ten years ago were following:â€""Mr. Neh Faulkenham, of Matheson, was a T.mmins visitor on Tuesday last." "Mr. W. Coupar, of the Dominion Bank staff, returned last week from a vacation spent in the south." "Mrs. Boy@ returned Thursâ€" day evening from a vacation spent visiting friends in the south." "Mr. Frank Carlin, one of the popular memâ€" bers of last season‘s hockey team in Timmins, returned this week from Montreal." "Mr. H. W. Hooker returnâ€" ed on Sunday evening from a vis.t to Galt, Hamilton, Torontc, and other points in the south." "Mr. W. Dalzell had an auspicious opening for his new branch store in South Porcupine last week, many turning out to see the fine new stocks of upâ€"toâ€"date clothing and furnishings for men and boys at the new exclusive men‘s store at South End." "Mr. Bert Ryan, of the Bank of Commerce staff, left last week for his home in Quebec, being granted leave cf absence on account of poor health. Bert has been deservedly popular in Timmins and all will wish him a speedy return to health." "Mr. A. Prosser left on Thursday for a few week‘s vacation in the south." "Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Fenn returned to town on Saturday evening after their wedding trip. Their many friends in town and district are exâ€" tending sincere gocd wishes." "Mr. Jerry Abrams left this (Wednesday) morning for Winnipeg." "Bornâ€"In Timmins, Ont., on Tuesday, Sept. 11th, 1923, to Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wylieâ€"a daughter." "Miss May Connolly, for some years past on the staff of the Bank of Commerce here, left last week for her home in North Bay, having reâ€" signed from the service of the bank. Miss Connolly made many fr.iends in Timmins during her stay here and will be much missed in many circles here." "While on duty last night Officer D.

After the. names are secured for what the workers of the game call their "sucker list." letters are sent to the chosen ones. The letter says the writer is in prison in Spain. He can‘t get out of prison without help, but he is ready to pay very generously for the help. The prisoner claims to have an immense fortune which he was able to hide beâ€" fore he was railroaded to prison. The man recelving the letter is supposed to get in touch with a third party in Spain, or elsewhere, and further details will be given as to the way to help and share in the immense fortune. Bo‘lled down to the bare facts, the promoters of the fraud simply induce the "sucker" to pay over as much money as they can prevail on him to advance, and then they leave him. Usually after one successful trimming of a "sucker‘", the criminals lie low for a while, but it is not long before the old game is under way again. The "Spanish Prisoner" fraud has been worked for many years. Despite all the publicity given it, there are still many people who will part with their money on this timeâ€"worn confidence trick.
