The action is in the nature of a mandamus to compel the immigration ¢Commisâ€" sioner to change the notation on his certificate of entry to make it appear that he was an American citizen when he entered the United States. Guest‘s unusual predicament resulted in the separation of his mother and his British father in London in 1919.

Krouok burst into flames Saturday night near the cem>â€" tery about eleven o‘clock and before an alarm could be turned in to the Timmins fire department, the car was a total wreck, A short circuit under the dash board is said to have been the cause of the fire. The flames just shot out suddenâ€" ly, Mr. Krouok told the firemen, and he had barely time to get out of the car before the whole thing seemed to be afire. Firemen used 45 gallons of chemical on the blaze but were unable to save the car. Mr. Krouok had been on his way to the Naybob mine with a delivery for a local cleaning firm. Fire insurance covered the loss. Last night somsone had the firemen mixed up with the police. A local man had apparently had too much firewater and was kicking up such a fuss in his home that neighbours or the wife found it necessary to call in help.

Th { In regard to the the assoâ€" ciation the president, E. O. Frank, told a recent visit to Cochrane where he had enquired in regard to the setâ€" tlers‘ association with headquarters at Kapuskasing. This association was called the Northern Ontario Settlers‘ Association. so it was felt that name could not be used without danger of confusion. It was also felt that the association in this district should not form part of the northern association, but neéded a separate organization to represent the settlers in this particular area. After discusion and consideraâ€" tion it was moved by Mr. St. Jules and seconded by Mr. Lafontaine that the association be called "The South Cochâ€" rane Settlers‘ Association," and this resolution was duly carried. A proâ€" posal by Messrs H. McKean and N. Sseaton, that the name be "The United Settlers‘ CoOâ€"operative of Northern Onâ€" tari0," was lost,. Accordingly the assoâ€" clation‘s name is now officially set as The two principal questions before the meeting last Thursday were in conâ€" nection with the name of the associaâ€" tion and the resolutions sent members of the government with a view to havâ€" ing some form of assistance to help the settlers establish themselves on their homesteads. A meeting of the executive of the recently formed settlers‘ association was held in the poolroom at Porquis Junction on Thursday afternoon last. It was explained that the reason for holding the mseting in the poolroom while the notices specified the Orange hall was that it was felt that the cost of $5 per meeting for the last named hall was more than the assoctiation could afford. "no parking" signs. This practice will not be continued long, for the police have been instructed to enforce the new daw rigorously. Those who continâ€" ue to park there will find themselves summoned to police court. The cause for the ban on parking in the block is twofold, as outlined at council meetings at which the traffic situation was discussed. The area in front of the fire hall must be kept enâ€" tirely clear of cars for obvious reasons. The space in front of the town hall is cleared so that the police van and car may be able to respond instantly to calls. Parking in front of the post ofâ€" fice is regarded as a menace because of the "Jay walking" done across Pourth avenue to and from the post office. Pedestrians coming from behind parked cars might quite casily be struck and seriously injured or killed. So it was decided to give both pedesâ€" trians and motorists an uninterrupted view of roadway and sdewalk. The whole north side of Fourth aveâ€" nue between Pine and Cedar streets, from the post office corner to the fire hall corner, is now a "no parking‘" zone and has been since the passing by the council of a byâ€"law and its approval by the Department of Highways at Toronto.
