In view of the fact that the local "the: Victorian ~Order ‘of Nurses is making its annual appeal for donations and support to carry on gocd work of the V.O.N. for another year, the appeal concluding with a tag day on Tuesday next, Sept. 19th, the folâ€" lowing facts and figures should be of rticular importance and interest. The facts and figures are from the offiâ€" cial report of the V.O.N. and the comâ€" parison between the work in 1932 and the work this year should incite to greater form the people in genâ€" eral. The bride wore a charming dress of white lace with turban hat. She carâ€" ried a bouquet of tea roses and lilyâ€"ofâ€" theâ€"valley. Her sister, Miss Jenni¢ Thompson, the bridesmaid, wore a frock of yellow organdy with white accessorâ€" ies She carried a bouquet of sweet peas and maiden hair fern. The best man was Mr. Hilery Heafey. Following the ceremony a breakfast was served at the home of the bride‘s parents: Later the happy couple left on a motor trip to Toronto and Deâ€" troit. The bride travelled in a brown swagger suit, with hat and shoes to match. Bowling has always been a pcopular pastime in Timmins in the fall and winter months, and bowlers should note that the bowling season is here once more. There are large numbers of bowlers in the town, some of them exâ€" pert, and some of them just fond of the game, but all drawing a lot of wholeâ€" some pleasure from the sport. It has been shown year after year that the earlier a start is madeo in the way of forming teams and organizing, the sooner the sport gets under way and the more chances there are for a long and happy bowling season. Accordingâ€" ly, bowlers now should make a start to assure the 1933â€"1934 season success and enjoyment for all for bowlers. Pretty Wedding at Church of Nativity Interesting Facts about V.0.N.

Bowlers Should be Getting Ready for Another Season DROP sSENATOR MURDOCK FROM B. . R. T. POSITION , ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH, 1933 Woman Prospector in Swayze Gold Area Nearly every mining camp in the North has had its woman prospector, and the new gold field at Swayze in the Sudbury district has a particularly disâ€" tinguished one. ‘This is Nahareo, the 27â€"yearâ€"old Mohawk Indian lady, of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, the wife of Grey Owl, famous as a nature lover and an ardent advocate of the policy of conserving native arimals and birds. Nahareo left on Saturday last to travel alone in the Swayze field and deterâ€" mined to stake a good gold claim if there is any such left in the area to be staked. Nahareo, who is described as petite and pretty, has made numerous prosâ€" pecting trips since 1929, and is perâ€" fectly at home anywhere in the bush. Indeed, to newspapermen last week she econfessed.that.she feltâ€"moreâ€"atâ€" on the trail than in town. "I‘m anâ€" xious to be off," she said. "I‘m very lonesome in town. It‘s different in the bush and I feel more at home packing and paddling than I do standing beside a kitchen range." As suggested in The Advance as probâ€" able the missing balloon‘sts from the Gordon Bennett Balloon Race have all been located now in the North. Two of the balloonists came down last week in Northern Quebec, and the other two about fifty miles north of Sudbury. It will be remembered that â€"some years ago two United States balloonists were lost in the air but were eventually loâ€" cated at Moose Factory where they were forced down. In that case the balloon drifted along a line very similar to the course taken by the two missing balâ€" loons last week. The two missing balloonists who were located fifty miles from Sudbury last week were Ward T. Van Orman and Frank Trotter of the Goodyear XI, the entry from Akron, Ohio, in the balloon race. They were rescued by Jim Barâ€" rett, patro‘man on the Abitibi Canyon power line running from the North to Copper Cliff. The balloonists encounâ€" tered a fierce gale last week and had a difficult time in the air. Then the balloon crashed, the basket hbeing caught in the top of a trce while the balloon part was completely wrecked. They were in the bush and not being wise to bush lore they were in serious condition. First they attempted to make their way out by blazing a trail Nahareo, Wife of Grey Owl, Left on Saturday to Prospect Alonc in the New Gold Area Near Sudbury. Nahareo is described as five feet two inches tall and weighing about 124 lbs. She is, howver, completely familiar with travel in the bush and knows all the real bush lore. She finds the work of travelling in the bush easy to do and can swing a canoce on the portage with an ease that surprices most men. She finds an 85â€"lb. pack not difficult to carry, and says that when she becomes accustomed to the trail a 120â€"lb pack is not burdensome for her. On the trip to the Swayze country she took 500 lbs. of food and equipment, besides her canoe. Oldâ€"timers figure this will mean six trips over every portage and that this would test the courage of most men on the trail but it does not daunt Nahareo. J. G. Thompson, recently manager of the A. P. store at North Bay, is the manager of the new store opened this week at Timmins by the Atlantic and Pacific Co.

All Balloonists Now Accounted For. Lost Balloonists Cut Abitibi Power Pole to Attract Help Saturday night there were three acciâ€" dents of more or less importance reâ€" ported to the police. One man was responsible for two of the crashes. The driver of the offending car was John Davidson.. On the Hollinger road around 11 o‘cloeck he first ran into a car owned and driven by Clifford Masâ€" kery, 69 Hemlock street. Mr. Maskery‘s car was damaged, the left front wheel being struck. Immediately after Davidâ€" son crashed into F. Walkley‘s car, damâ€" aging it, and also injuring Mr. Walkley, who had his nose bruised and cut by glass from the windshield. A s Car standing on Third avenue was struck by ancther car Saturday night. Someone nearby noted the number of the speedâ€" ing car. The police traced the car that failed to stop and arrested the driver, W. D. McLellan, who was charged with being drunk when in charge of a motor car. He was sentenced to ten days. On a similar charge John Davidson was sentenced to thirty days. ~«On . Sunday, there. was another incident that might be classed as a motor car accident. A little girl, 7 years old, Beatrice Francceur, 31 Fourth avenue near Cedar street, crashed into the rear of a car going down street. Those who saw the acciâ€" dent say that the driver of the car was not likely to know the child was injurâ€" ed or even to notice the youngster at all. In any event the car did not stop and no one noticed the number. The child after running into the car was thrown to the read and sustained a bad cut on the head. The youngster was hurried to the hospital and at first it was feared that she might have susâ€" tained a fractured skull. Fortunately this was not the case, and the only inâ€" jury was the cut on the head. The youngster is recovered now. In the last week or so there has been a regular epidemic of automobile acciâ€" dents in town. Some of them have been of such slight consequence that they have not been reported to the police. One motorist this week told the police of being bumped by other cars three times in the course of one hour. In none of the three cases was any harm done to either of the cars. Algonquin Rifles Join in Anniversary Occasion The Winnipeg Rifles, (8th Batt.

This was done with the idea of saving themselives from getting lost and losing the basket that they used for sleeping quarters The balloon came down on Sept. 3rd and from thna»w time until Sept. 10th they were unable to reach help. As a matter of fact they were at times only some eight miles from a railway line but they did not know this. After suffering all sorts of hardships and running shy of food the two balloonists were in dire straits. They found the Abitibi Canyon power line and knew that it meant a means of commun‘ication with help if they only knew how to use it. They tried first to cut the telephone wire but were ursuccessful. Eventually they cut down one of the poles, thus causing a short circuit which they felt should bring patrolmen on the scene looking for the trouble. After cutting the pole Trotter left a note at the place saying, "This telephone was cut Sept. 10th by US. Goodyear balloon team of W. T. Van Orman and Frank Trotter." The scheme worked Patrolman Barret was soon on the hunt for the cause of the short, and found the note, and later the two men. The two balloonists were just about exhausted by this time. At 1140) am. Tuesday, Sept. 12th, there was an accident that might have been much more serious for the drivers concerned. A truck driven by George Daigle and a car driven by Percy Gerâ€" vais, of Noranda, collided at the corner of Second avenue and Maple street. Mr. Gervais‘® car was very badly damâ€" aged and there were some injuries to the truck. The drivers escaped without serious injuries.

Richardson, Dr. S. L. Honey, J. K. Massie, Geo. W. Parsons, J. Morrison and Moise Maltais present. A letter was received from one of the old groups signing themselves the unemployed. It included a resolution purporting to be signed by 41 unemâ€" ployed single men at a meeting on Sunday. It asked for food, shelter and free medical service for the single men unemployed. The food was to comâ€" prise at least two meals a day. The shelter was explained to mean adequate housing with sanitary conveniences. A free medical clinic for the unemployed was also among the requests. A man named Laitenen commenced to speak as representing the unemployed. He said that the men who had been workâ€" ing on farms and in lumber camps were now returning to town and meaâ€" sures should be taken to care for them. "Is this man unemployed?" asked Councillor Morrison. "No!" was the reply, "he has a good job was only able to keep himself. He also asserted that he supplied his own food, but slept at home when he had no other place to sleep. He proferred willingâ€" ness to support the family if given a steady job. It was brought out that the woman received $25.00 a month from mother‘s allowance and $6.00 a week relief from the town. The matâ€" ter was left to the committee to loolk into and decide whether or not to again allow the relief to this family. Mr. Shub appeared before the counâ€" cil to ask that the agreement he had made with the town to pay $50.00 per month on tax arrears be suspended for one month so that he could instal a new furnace. The tenants of the proâ€" perty intended to leave unless a new furnace were installed and this might mean a loss for some time to the town A young man asked why his mother had been dropped from relief. Relief Officer Dunn explained that relief had been dropped because the young man had apparently been living with the family but not contributing anything to the house. It was not intended that ableâ€"bodied young men should be supâ€" ported in this way. The young man claimed that he had only odd jobs and in the payments on the tax arrears, The council felt he should live up to the agreement he had made himsell with the town. He was not catching up to any extent on the arrears. It was also thought that he should be able to arrange with some plumber to instal the furnace if it were necessary. He is only paying a part of the rent of the building on the $50.00 per month plan. assessment roll as prop The other two may have b perty but if so they were The question was referred to works committee to decide, Mrs. Walsh asked council if thi would not help her daughter, M Lajeunnesse, secure very necessa treatment from Dr. Gallie, Toronto. only nineteen years of age, marrie and with three small children, is unab to walk, and doctors were quoted : saying that the young lady would crippled for life unless she had expe treatment from Dr. Gallic, Toronto. the council would advance this mond now, it would be paid back as soon : the husband and brothers of the gi secured steady work, Mrs, Walsh sai The young woman had an accident year or so ago, her hip being hurt.
