Big Investment in Milk Business in Timmins Not so many years ago all a person needed to set himself up in the mill business was a cow or so, bottles, and a delivery system of some sort. Nowadays, in Timmins at least, that bottle of milk that arrives seven days a week at almost every home in Timmins represents an investment of $50,000 in the most modern dairy equipment modern science Jhas been able to build.

They‘re not touched by hand from the moment they‘re placed in the automatic washer until they come off the end of the delivery line, automaticâ€" ally filled and capped. Anyone in Timmins who is interested in seeing how the milk is treated that is set on their doorstep every day Of the week, will find a cordial welcome waiting them any morning at the Timâ€" mins Dairy. Boasting the most modern dairy machinery and using milk that is produced right in the Porcupine disâ€" trict, the process is one that cannot fail to impress.

Peéconi and R. Quesnelâ€"and the Dept. Community Singers. Each of the oldâ€"timers had to do his share of the entertaining and the time passed in songs, stepâ€"dancing, and reminiscence. The oldest pioneer present was Tom Strain (over eighty) who was able io stay this year until the end of the party, and who said he had had the best time at this affair that he had at any previous celebrations. A novel song sheet which in its oriâ€" ginal collection of verses brought in something about each old pioneer presâ€" ent, was handed ‘round and kept by each as a souvenir of the party. It is too long to quote in detail but one or two extracts are given:â€"â€" "How do you do, Tom Strain, how do you do. Here‘s good wishes from the Fire Briâ€" gade to you. As the oldest pioneer, You are always welcome here! How do you do, Tom Strain, how do you do!" And the verse to Mr. W. D. Pearce vas most applicable:â€" "How do you do Bill Pearce how ds you do.

And John Fell‘s tribute was unique in its rhythm: "For years you worked for Education Now you‘ve turned to Hospitalization." Mr. Bert Walton was serenaded by: "You taught them how to mine In good old Porcup‘tae." Among the old pioneers present were the foregoing and N. Dodge, P. Henâ€" nessy, W. H. Wilson, A. Grant, F.

Other Iroquois Falls News Iroquois Falls, Ont., Feb. 15th, 1937 Special to The Advance. Snowfall this season, until February 1. totals 90.5 inches, two feet more than at the same time last year, and 10 inches more than the maximum at this time of year for the past seven years, according to figures kept by Leon F Kent. The total snowfall for the past four years was, 1935, 109; 1934, 119; 1933, 114.5; 1932, 105.5. Since very heavy snowfall is usually experienced in March it is more than likely this year‘s snowfall will establish a record for the past 15 years. A curious fact is that from 1923 until 1931 the total snowfall locally was never over 97 inches and since 1932 it has never been under 105.5 incaes. The unusual amount of snow in the bush is playing havoc with timber and pulp operators. It is said that in some places water under the deep snow has rendered logging operations impossible, In the Maritimes, it is understood, logâ€" ging and pulp cutting operators are being faced with such a shortage of snow that spring driving may be imâ€" possible. A very pleasant "birthday party" marking the anniversary of the inauâ€" guration of the Eastern Star here was held by the lodge in the Orange hall Thursday evening. The evening was spent at bridge and music. The musiâ€" cal programme consisted of vocal solos by Miss Marion Henderson and John Cuthell, azcompanied by J. V. Stevens at the piano, and selections by Albert Delean‘s fiveâ€"piece string orchestra. Refreshments were served at the close of the evering. Prizes at bridge were won by Mrs. C. Johnson, Mrs. L. Laâ€" framboise, A. A. MacDougall and C. Johnson. Several persons in the Falls are sufâ€" fering from what appears to be a mildâ€" £r form of the flu.

Sampson, from Kirkland Lake; Mrs. Grace Hall, from Toronto. The late Mrs. Mackie passed away at St. Mary‘s hospital, Timmins, on Wedâ€" nesday evening lat, Feb. 10th, following an operation. She was one of the early residents of the town and held in the highest esteem by all who knew her. Born on August 3rd, 1877, in West Calâ€" der, Edinburghshire, Scotland, her family lived but a few doors from the home of the Mackies, and she and her future husband played together as children in their native town. In 1902 she married David Mackie who came to Canada in 1905, returning the following year to Scotland to bring his wife and little son William, to their new home in this land. For nine years the family lived in Toronto, coming in 1915 to Timâ€" mins. and later for a time residing in Tisdale township. During her long resiâ€" dence in Timmins the late Mrs. Macki€ took an active and helpful part in Ladies‘ Aid and other church work, in the Caledonian Society of Timmins, 0f which she was one of the charter memâ€" bers, and in other social and fraternal circles She will be much missed and long remembered. To the bereaved husband and son, to the surviving sister and two brothers in Scotland, and to the other relatives and friends, the sincere sympathy of all in extended. Ontario Secretary Addresses Legion It was a pity that more members Oi the Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion were not present on Sunday afternoon and also that the meeting was not thrown open to the nonâ€"memâ€" bers and the general puble to hear the fine address by Provintial Secretary L. R. Menzies. There were only about 50 members on hand. President Austin Neame in a neat address introduced the speaker who previously to being the secretary of the Ontario command R. Menzies, of Toronto, Meets Local Branch Yesâ€" terday. budget could only be placed at $10,000. His contention of this state of affairs was because of the system of paying daues in arrears, rather than in advance. Mr. Menzies said he hoped to see this remedied in time. Dealing with finances, the secretary spoke of the debts facing him when he took office. At the last convention in 1935 a deficit of $6,000 was shown, but at the end of 1936 the deficit was only $600. Several long standing debts had been paid off and a special fund created for the Timmins convention in August which he hoped would more than cover the cost and leave a surplus. At this point the speaker gave some interesting high lights on his trip of the province, showing how the personal contact and visit had bought many back in the organization. The loyalty of Northern Ontario members also had struck him, Mr. Menzies telling of how a Matheson member had walked in 11 miles on Thursday last to hear his adâ€" dress and similar eqisodes of other branches in the Cobaltâ€"New Liskeard district. Mr. Menzies stressed strongly the work of the Service Bureaux and showed that organization was essential for the returned men. *"Imagine over 11,000 resolutions flooding the governâ€" ment from 11,000 veterans clubs. This would have been the case without vetâ€" eran organization." "This shows that organization is essential and the reason for the Canadian Legion." Austin Neame thanked Myr. Menzies for his fine address and a hearty vote of thanks was passed by the members preâ€" sent.. Mr. Fisher representative of "The Legionary," also addressed the members and it seems certain that the branch will again subscribe 100 per cent for this Canadian Legion magaziine. The meeting opened with the usual Legzion honours to its dead comrades by twoâ€"minutes silence and the singing of "O Canada‘" and closed with the Naâ€" tional Anthem.
