Pres.dent Austin Neame of the Timâ€" mins branch of the Canadian Legion this week asked The Advance to make an appeal for used clothing.

All donations of clothing can be left at the Mines Rescue station or will be called for, if desired. Phone 75, or call ‘the secretary, W. D. Forrester, »hone 976. At the Timmins High and Vocational School on Tuesday he told the students and teachers that school examinations were to be reduced in number and that in future all examinations would be over by the end of June so that school would ‘be over before the hot weather and examinations ‘results would ‘be available much earlier.

Dean Kesâ€" ter was reâ€"elected viceâ€"president of the association for the riding. This riding was formerly known as Temisâ€" kaming North for federal purposes but through the efforts of Hon. W. A. Gorâ€" don and Jos. A. Bradette, M.P., is now called Cochrane riding in the Dominion House. There were fully 700 people at the convention of the Liberal AssOciation held at Cochrane on Wednesday (yesâ€" terday) to name the Liberal candidate for this riding in the coming Dominion electicn. All parts of the riding were represented at the convention. The town of Timmins had fully 150 deleâ€" gates, and other centres were repreâ€" sented in proportion. The convention was a mcost enthusiastic one and the popularity of the present member, Jos. A. Bradette was very evident. There were a number of others named but they all withdrew. Among those noâ€" minated were:â€"Dean Kester, Timmins; Sylvester Kennedy, South Porcupine; T. McDonald, Matheson; Geo. A. Smith, Cochrane; C. V. Gallagher, South Porâ€" cupinge. All of these endorsed the sitâ€" ting member as the Liberal choice and none of them would allow their names to go before the convention. Accordâ€" ingly, the nomination of Mr. Bradette was declared unanimous amid great enâ€" thusiasm. There were brief addresses by Dean Kester, C. V. Gallagher, T. McDonald, Sylvester Kennedy, Geo. A. Smith and others, while the address by the member for this riding, Jos. A. Bradette, was the big feature of the day. J. A.

Local chapters were well represented. The event was pleasâ€" ingly instructive and the distinguished officers delighted the members present with ther addresses, in the course of which they said they were agreeably surprized with the size and appearance of the town of Timmins.

Mayor Richardson introduced Mr. Day and said he would no doubt be ready to answer any questions. Counâ€" cillor Bartleman said he had some questicns to ask but did not wish to monopolize the time.

On Thursday evening last at about 8.45 two small boys suffered painful injuries when struck by a car backing out of a local garage. Albert Vallee, the driver of the car, took all the necessary precautions but apparently the little boys did not recognize their danger and ran into the path of the backing car.

The Stodolny lad, however, is much more seriously injurâ€" ed and will be laid up for some time as a result of the accident.

Councillor Bartleman Leads the Questioning. mins. service rate at Timmins, 60 cents; 3 cents up to 100 k.w.h., and 1 cent after; net bill. Port Arthur serâ€" vice rate, 33 cents; 2 cents for first 30 h. and 1¢cent after; with discount of 10 per cent. Mr. Day replied that there were so many factcors in the cost of power that the question was very involved and comparisons were not alâ€" ways fair. First there was the quesâ€" t‘on of generation; the larger the quanâ€" tity of power the less the proportionate cost. Then there was the interest on the money invested in plant, and the amount of the total power used. The desnity of the market and the probable life of the market were vital features. He illustrated this latter po.ut by reâ€" ference to the Cobalt camp, once a very important power user. Also in some cases municipalities under hydro bought their power in large quantities by the peak load and passed on the consequent ow price to customers. Councillor Bartleman asked for furâ€" ther reductions in rates. He suggested that domestic users of power helped out by taking power when the mines were not using so much at night. He obâ€" jected to the rendering of light bills at different times in the month. He said that the customers would save money if the bills were all due at the end of the month. He also objected (Continued on Page FPour) Dr. L, J. Simpson Officiates at Formal Opening of N‘ew‘ school Building for U. S. S. No. 2, Matheson and Eveâ€" lyn.

New School at Dugwal Opened by New Minister of Education Dominion House to Dissolve Next April or two thereafter. The suggesâ€" tion is that the parliament will be dissolved in April, 1935, after which will come the general elections. This, of course, is only a guess, but even a guess can be pretty good sometimes. The same despatch says that there was very definite reaction to the loss of the recent byâ€"elecâ€" tions. In the byâ€"elections, T. L. Church won his seat in Toronto for the Tories, but the cther four Conservative candidates were out Oof luck. The reâ€"action to this noted in parliamentary circles is that the defeats are blamed on lack of organization for the elecâ€" tions. The setting up of a naâ€" tional Conservative organization to prepare for the next general election will be urged upon Hon. Mr. Bennett by the members of the Conservative party in the Dominion House.
