The doctor held the man‘s pulse and said to him, "I know perfectly well that you can hear everything that is said to you. You are only ‘pretending to be deaf.

Shots had been fired. behind him, and he had not flinched. Ssomeone had discovered the name by which he was known as a little child, had called it out to himâ€"and he never even so much as batted an eye, though it was years since he had heard his pet name. Never a word did the man appear to hear. My friend, being psyâ€" chologist, saw something about the man‘s eyes that told him that the | patient was a malingering fraud.

To put the matter straight and also to give the members a reâ€" minder that if they need the correct news on Legion happenings, The Adâ€" vance is the paper to watch. Since the inception of the branch here over nine years ago this paper has conscientiously recorded all the events of this local organization, and it has yet to be told when the facts given have not been correct in all details, For the inforâ€" mation of those contemplating voting on Monday, March 25th and it is hoped all will see that they exercise their rights:â€"There are to be six electel. The first "Two" candidates polling the highest number of votes, will become officers of the branch, namely "First and Second viceâ€"presidents." The next four in line constitute the executive committee.. The chairman of the enâ€" tertainment committee, also becomes a member of the lastâ€"named executive commmittee. There is expected to be about eight candidates in the field. Some of these have had several years experience on the board Oof directors. Those mentioned among the probable contestants include several of the preâ€" sent executive who are in a position to know the needs of the branch and are ready to help carry out those needs if elected. It is rumoured at the club that some of the newer nominees will also take a chance and that the discard is due to some of the "regulars." In any event the 25th will soon be here and all will be on hand to hear how the elecâ€" tion has made out. For correct adâ€" vance information the following is also given:â€"The ballot boxes will be open only at the following times: 9 a.m. to 12â€"â€"noon;;:2.p.m. to 4 p.m.; 6 p.m. to 9 pm. The same places as those picked doubt whatever that the board will take my word for the fact that you are one of the completest liars that they have ever met. And you‘ll go to jail." All the while, my friend told me, the man‘s pulse had been playing very odd tricks. When he was told that he was a liar, it immediately started jumping. When,. on the other hand, he was told, that if he admitted that he was a liar, nothing would happen, the pulse smoothed itself out,. And the man said, "You‘re right sir. I heard every word you said."

The Canadian system can be improved, but _not by the Toronto Globe or Agnes Mcâ€" Phail. All matters in connection with our prisons is constantly being studied. As better methods are found they are instituted. Because Miss McPhail goes into the "hole" and shuts all the doors and finds herself in the dark doesn‘t say that all the prisoners‘ are kept in cells that compare to the hole. The: cellsâ€"are bright, well lighted, clean and well equipped. The "hole" is used for punishment. The best advice we can give the Globe is to attend to its camâ€" paign of support for Mr. Hepburn. Its forte isn‘t changing prisons; Miss Mcâ€" Phail should also attend to her knitting. Any serious abuses in our prisons will be known and dealt with.

He will never be able to walk but will be conâ€" fined to a wheel chair as long as he lives. He went there on August 2nd, 1930 and until September 30th, 1934, his mother paid the amount asked by the hospital; $15 part of the tume but when the institution learned of her poverty it was reduced to $6.00 a month. Now the mother is on relief and the town is asked to pay the $6.00 minimum. It is possible that this will be done. The home said that the boy was particularly bright and mentally alert. He has the advantage of a public school education. The story of a Timmins boy in the Home for Incurables at Toronto came to light when a letter from that instiâ€" tution was read. The boy has been Accounts must now be in on the Monâ€" day preceding council day if they are to be ordered paid immediately by th« council, a motion by Councillors Chaâ€" teauvert and McDermid read. A transformer to be used as a pipeâ€" thawer has not proved satisfactory acâ€" cording to J. D. MacLean, town engiâ€" neer, and a representative of Herringâ€" tonâ€"Scarlett was at the meeting to offer the services of a motorâ€"generator reâ€" cently built by them at a price of $5.00 per job. They will do the collecting of accounts if the town passes on the jobs to them. The scheme will be tried temâ€" porarily at least. It is considerably cheaper than the transformer method, it is claimed. Tenders will be asked for a new police van to replace the one ordered off the road by the council at the last meeting. Another property discussion centred around the part of Broadway that cut Cedar street south of Third avenue. Though sales have been made of some of the pieces of land no titles have been given. Proper procedure will be taken to make the sales legal. Mr. Gauthier also offered to trade one strip of property near Gillies lake for another in a reâ€"arrangement of the lots there. This will be decided at 2 later meeting. The town‘s approval of a new subâ€" division was asked by G. H. Gauthier, It will be part of Timmins Heights, south of the school on Tisdale avenue and in the township of Tisdale. The plans were inspected by the councillors and checked for lanes and streets and approval given. Mayor Richardson said the matter would be held in abeyance until anâ€" other meeting. "An expenditure of that kind is not regarded as a debenture debt, said Mr. Bartleman, "Other municipalities have no difficulty getting it for that purpose and Timmins is more prosperous than them." Sever "Even if we could buy the equipment of the power company at the assessed value, how would we get the money?" asked Councillor Morrison. The Northern Power Company franâ€"| chise expires in December 1936 and at the December elections of 1935, the] electors of Timmins will be asked to vote on whether or not they wish to| continue with Northern Power or| switch to Hydro. If the power comâ€" pany‘s franchise were not renewed the town would likely buy the equipment on the streets. | "It‘s quite evident that the power company is not in any mood to give a price on their equipment," said Mayor Richardson. "I would suggest that we leave it until about two months before the election, then place the who‘le thing before the council." "Now is the opportune time for acâ€" tion," said Mr. Bartleman, "We may want to negotiate for months on that question . If you leave it until two months before the elections, the people won‘t have any idea of the cost o changing to Hydro." Northern Power Company wrote in answer to a letter asking a conference between the town and the company officials with a view to discussing the value placed on their equipment and the possible sale price. The company stated that they considered the council little premature in opening the disâ€" cussion until such time as the electors express an opinion, but they would be pleased to meet the council at any time, provided a few days‘ notice were given. (Continued from Page Onse) Town Clerk H. E. Montgomery wrote stating that he was of the opinion that there were no crrors or otnissions in the assessment of the Northern Power Comâ€" pany here. He stated that he believed the Court of Revision have no right to increase the assessment now that the books are closed. He advised that the advice of a solicitor be obtained o clarify the situation.

The usual accounts were paid, inâ€" cluding $1,000 to the library board and $10,307.99 for current bills. An invitation was received from the Schumacher high school board to the official opening of the new school there. One property owner asked tax exempâ€" tion on the plea that his place had not been occupied for some time and that the last tenant had not paid his rent. Two applications were received for the position of snowplough driver, but no action was taken. The council was asked to help in the case of a man who had had his shoulder and collarbone broken in a car acciâ€" dent last summer. Their aid was also requested for a man who had been injured while leaving a local hotel, unâ€". der repairs at the time. Several reâ€"| funds were made for water rates, due notice being given the town by those vacating properties. A communication from the Hon. H. C. Nixon, provincial secretary, reminded the council that May 6th was the celeâ€" bration of the silver jubilee of the asâ€" cension of King George. It is requested that each municipality mark the event in some manner or other, such as by staging a fete. Special services will be held in all churches on May 5th.
