The work was scheduled to be complete by May lst and it was ready for service yesterday, when final testing was almost finished.

Vermilyea was hanged in the little jail courtyard at Belleville early this morning, for the brutal murâ€" der of his mother, Mrs. Aurelia Verâ€" milyea, on October 4th last year. He held that he was innocent of the crime right up to the last and according to reports seemed to be in a cheerful state of mind. The final appeal to the cabinet of the Government of Canada failed, as did pleas of insanity. He was 50 years old. The story of his flight by acroplane to Ontario, California, after the murder and the comparatively quick trial at Belleville will long be remembered in that district.

Mr. Lacrcix told The Advance time ago that the hotel men of Timâ€" mins felt that men coming off an 11 o‘cloeck shift would get a glass of beei even if they had to go to a bootlegâ€" ger‘s for it. "The Liquor Control Board author: ized beverage rooms and dining room; to remain open from 10 a.m. to 12 midâ€" night, either standard time or dayligh saving time from toâ€"day," read gram received by Peter Lacroix late or Monday.

The members will assemble at the Legion hall at 10.15 and in a body esâ€" cort the Catholic groups to their churchss. The Anglican group will then wait till time for their service while the United Church group will parade through town to> their church. Upon completion of the services the veterans will reâ€"assemble and march to the cenotaph where respect will be paid to those left behind., A wreath will be laid and bugle sounded. All veterans are asked to make a special effort to attend this special church service. Berets and medals to be â€"worn. May be Air Touch to W ar of the Railwavys Sudbury reports say that the scheâ€" dule will go into effect soon but it is likely that Algoma schedule would have been begun by that time in any case. The war in the telegraph business is still on in southern points of the T. N. O. territory. No more information as to the C. P.‘s intentions toward the Porcupine is available toâ€"day. The Advance was unuable to reach BEd. Ahr of Algoma Air Service to question him on the possibility of his planes doing the flying. Algoma conâ€" ducted a similar service to Sudbury last year that proved very satisfactory, so the idea is not altogether new. The Canadian Legion will parade in three grcups to the following churches on Sunday, May 5th:â€"Church of the Nativity, and St. Anthony‘s, for 10.30 service; St. Matthew‘s Anglican Church and the United Church for 11.00 a.m. service. Another stage in the Canadian Paciâ€" ficâ€"T. N. O. war was taken this week when a story from Sudbury told of the possibility of the C. P. opening a "de luxe cabin plane air service" from Sudbury to Timmins. If this efâ€" fort to grab some of the T. N. O.‘s passenger business is carried through, some six hours time would be saved between here and Toronto. The planes would make connections at Sudbury with Torontoâ€"bound express trains. Monday, May 6th, is to be a genuine holiday in the Porcupine camp in honâ€" our Of the King‘s Silver Jubillee. It is to be as ‘fully Observed as Christmas Day or July list in the ordinary year.

In addition, Mayor Richardson asks all good citizens to coâ€"operate with the Legion and the other organizations concerned, in making Monday a day long to be remembered and a day that will be cutstanding especially in the minds of the younger generation. He suggests that every business and proâ€" fessional man and every householder have a British flag before his business place and home, if this is at all posâ€" sible, and in every other way do all that is practical in the way of deccratâ€" ing the town and showing their loyalty and assisting in the complete success of the day. "Flags! Bunting! Decoraâ€" tions!‘"* These should be the order of the day on Monday. First Appearance of Silver Dollar Here the King, with the words "Georgius Rex Imperator anno regni XXV," comâ€" memorating the 25th year of the reign of the sovereign. The reverse bears simply the words "Canada dollar 1935" and in the centre a representation of a canoe paddled by two Indians and well filled with dunnage. In the backâ€" ground two evergreen trees give the iinpression of a Northern scene. Indiameter the new dollar is larger than the fifty cent piece by nearly quarter of an inch. It is somewhat thicker and is heavy milled. It is not likely that the new pieces will be in general circulation here for some time as people are keeping them as souvenirs. Not nearly as large as the old Ameriâ€" can cartwheel, bank men and merâ€" chants say the new dollar will serve a definite need in Canadian currncy. It will be easy to make changs with them, particularly if less than one dollar of a two dollar bill is used to purchase goods "Coinage is much easier to hande than paper money," one bank manager told The Advance, "and it is possible that the new dollars will serve the purpose well." The "head" side of the new dollar bears the conventional bust relief of this week., Qniy ie very minim employees necessary to protect th perties will be on duty, as on sucl! days as Christmas Day and Ju This will afford all special oppot to join in the big celebration h Monday of the Silver Jubilee of Majesties, the King and Queen.
