Idealist he may be, but as history | master at Upper Canada college and’ author of authoritative on m-} ternational affairs in Saturday Night| of Toronto, Mr. Ignatieff has gained the | respect and admiration of large secâ€"| tions of Canadian people. # He did not speak from naphazard| inspection of Timmins. He knows the Porcupirieâ€"knows it well. For when he first came to Canada, after having graduated from an English university,| he found, as he said himself on Saturâ€"| day that "there was no other activity m{ | which my talent seemed to be xequxred thanâ€"mucking at the big Dome mine.‘ All the Causes are Here | "You have here all the antagomsmsi that appear to make coâ€"operation imâ€" j possible in the world.

[ Dr. MclInnis People‘s Candidate for Mayor Talented Speaker Here Once "Mucker" at Dome Mr. Ignatieff gave a comprehensive review of the underlying causes that have led to the present unrest in the world. Briefly, he outlined it as follows: It was very largely the older men of the world who were in charge of affairs at the end of the world war. They still had the old ideas, chief among them that of secret diplomacy. "We cannot hope for a real solution until thase mithods are really outâ€" lawed," he stated.

Any one wishing their donation to go to either particular place may ask to have it marked for either Ahelter or Hosâ€" pital and it will be so given. The "Pound Days" are in charge of Mrs. Watt anq Mrs. Keene, both past reâ€" gents of the Daughtery of the Empire.

For some years past the Christmas concert has attracted crowds that could scarcely be accomâ€" modated. Originally the concert was a oneâ€"eveming affair, but to give all who wished to enjoy it an opportunity to atâ€" tend, two nights were set apart for it. Even with the two nights the crowds could not ‘be accommodated, so this year the Christmas concert in the Cenâ€" tral public school will be held on three nightsâ€"Wednesday, Dec. 1l1th, Thursâ€" day, Dec. 12th, and Friday, Dec. 13th. On each of these evenings the event will commence at 8 p.nz. The event this year will have special features that should make it particuâ€" larly attractive.

These names were added at the recent court of revision on the voters‘ lists. The 1935 voters‘ list for the town of Timmins will be used in the coming municipal election. For the recent votâ€" ing on the power franchise byâ€"law the 1934 voters‘ list was used, but that was because the 1935 list haq not bsen reâ€" vised in time to be used in the byâ€"law voting. The necessary revision has since been made and a supplementary list of additions and alterations also printed. There are 25 names written off the list for various reasons. Twelve of these were in the list twice and so one of the duplicate entries was marked off. Eight names were taken off on account of deaths since the compiling of the voters‘ lists. Three wore taken off beâ€" cause there had been changes in the ownership of properties. Two were taken from the list because they were not assessed enough to warrant being on the list. Out of the list of candidates nominâ€" ted for reeve and council for 1936 for Tisdals township, as given elsewhere in this issue, the following qualified on Friday last: For council:â€"C. W. Arnott, A. H. Cooke, J. G. Harris, Dr. Harper, David Kerr, O. M. Lafontaine, W. McInnis. There will be a meeting of the Porâ€" cupine Twentxeth Century Club in the Grand hotel dmmg room this (Monâ€" day) evening commencing at 8.15. This club is proving very popular in Timâ€" mins and promises to attain a large memsership. It is a club organized in Canada under the auspices of the Libâ€" eral party, with the membership reâ€" stricted to thoss born in the 20th cenâ€" tury. There are branches of the Twenâ€" tieth Century Club in all the large cities and in many of the towns and Those in the Field in Township of Tisdale Nearly 170 Names on Supplementary List Two Qualify for Reeve and Seven for the Four Seats at the Council Board.

"To whom it may concern: I have read the pathetic appeal and can‘t reâ€" sist enclosing one buck. Hoping you get lots more." So read one of the first answers to the appeal through the mail for the Tuberculosis Clinic. Hundreds of letâ€" ters went into the post office on Thursâ€" day aiternoon asking that the book of seals enclosed be purchased for ons dollar. As early as Friday evening the reâ€" plies began to pour in. The first opened was from â€" Leonard H. â€"Cousins. Throughout the rest of the week the appeal was answered generously. Most sent a dollar; many sent more. In any case, it seems that the people of Timmins are behind the move and it is sincerely hoped by the committee in charge that the next week will keep up the record set so far.

George Dick Gives Interesting and Graphic HMlustrated Address to Porcupine Branch of Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Programme for Winter Planned. Promising wholeâ€"hearted coâ€"opetrâ€" ation in the work of organizing and operating the new Lions Boys‘ Band, a large number of the parents of the boys met at the Hollinger hall yesterâ€" day afternoon. W. King, chairman of the Lions committes: in charge of the band, explained briefly the objects beâ€" hind the move, the value the boys would obtain from belonging to the band and outlined the cost of the proâ€" ject. The instrumnts are valued at an average of about $50 and each parent was asked to give a verbal bond that the instruments that came into their house would ‘be well cared for. They agreed most heartily that the band would be a fine thing and offered to ao everything in their power to help it along. Bandmaster F. J. Wolno has already ccmmenced giving instruction to some of the hoys and it is hoped that before spring the organization ‘will be on a sound footing.

Plans and Purposes of Plans and Purposes of Band Explained. From â€" small, relatively unreliable hoisting machines, such as those used toâ€"day on large consiruction projects, the mine hoists demanded by Canadian industry have progressed to a point where there appears to be no limil to the weight they can lift or the distance they can descend into the earth, Gsorge M. Dick told the Porcupine branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy on Friday night at the Emâ€" pire hqtel. A hoist capable of lifting 10,000 pounds used to be considered a big machine. Yet toâ€"day mine hoists are being built that have a "rope pull" of 70,000 pounds; thess same giant maâ€" chines are capable of hauling ore from a depth of 13,000 feet; the cage comes up at the rate of 6,000 feet per minuteâ€" more than a mile every 60 seconds. Canadian Built Machines Canada is well out in front in the designing and building of equipment for mine hoists, Mr. Dick said, and he told his story graphically as he showâ€" ed lantern slides of the machine shop in Sherbrocske, Quebec, where maâ€" chines have bien built for some of the world‘s largest mining operations. The speaker is an authority in this line, having "done his time" in an Old Country machine shop before coming to Canada and entering McGill universi where he made a real scholastic record, specializing in the study of hoists. For the past 12 years he has been in charge of hoist design for the Canadian Ingersoll Rand. Although technical in a good many aspects, the paper he réad on Friday night was easily understood even by those present whose knowledge of minâ€" ing was slight. Clearly and concisely he sketched the development of hoistâ€" ing engines from the cylindrical C*rum type powered by a steam engine and operated manually, to the lastest biâ€" cylindicalâ€"conical electric motored and automatically opsrated hoists that are found in many of the larger mining operations toâ€"day. How efficient the electric hoist has become was «well illustrated by the statement that a Western Canada coal mine has recently changsd over from steam to electricity in operating their hoisting equipment. Bottle Neck of the Ming The hoist is sometimes known as the bottle neck of the mine, he told the engineers. On it and on it alone deâ€" pends the transportation of men and supplies to the widespread underground cperations and the transportation of ore to the surface for miiling or smeltâ€" ing. Dependability and freedom from breakdown should be the first conâ€" sideration in choosing a hoist, he said. Low initial cost while important, should not be placed above everything else, h> warned the gathering. Human life and the economical operation of a mine often depend on the reliability of the hoist. The cutting down of peak loads has been one important factor in the deâ€" velopment of the conical drum type of hoist. When the cage first begins to move from the bottom of the shaft, the M. E.
