Remarkable Christmas Events by Finnish Church The anual Birns bangquet under the auspices of the local Sons of Scotland is always an erent of much interest. For 1937 it is tobe held on the actual Burns anniversirty date, something which is not always practical. The 1937 $.0.8. Burns banguet will be held in the Oddfellows hill, Timmins, on Monâ€" day evening, Jan. 25th, commencing at 8 p.m. All should reserve the date for this event which is always an interestâ€" ing and enjoyable occasion.

As noted in The Advapce sme time ago the farmer milk producrs of the Porcupine felt that they wre forced to insist on inâ€" creased milk prices on account of the largely incresed cost of feed and proâ€" duction. Itseemed to be impossible to continue 0 supply milk at the old prices and still maintain the high standards o quality, sanitation and care that hil been built up. Accordâ€" ingly a deciion was reached that the price to thet farmerâ€"progucer sxmpl\ had to be imreased. The Milk Board of Omaro, was notified f the decision to increase ‘ the price tothe farmerâ€"producer and a representatve of the board came to| Timmins andmade a very careful surâ€". vey and invéetigation.
