Fr. Biernacki was one of the speuffiwflt the graduâ€" ation exercises of St. Mary‘s hospital and from the platform he asked why his of Barry‘s Bay one of the most n same County of Renfrew sho torial article in The Advance under pbg.h Wn of "Good Old Barry‘s Bay." Scores of~fieop1e in this district who recalled the remmgnmrg :bafigaau_j teams that Barry‘s Bay used bo field no doubt echoed the question. TiA :) Much has happened since the night Biernacki asked the question in humovurous ‘way; Rev. Fr. Biernacki is now the Rt. Rev. MonselgnOr' Biernacki, but he has developed.. rather . than changed. As for Barry‘s Bay, it‘ is much the same in n e P t iWtt 5 V 200 as in the days of long ago. EXcept that perhaps its baseball isn‘t as good, but it has added hockey and believes that its present day hockey matches its baseball of the days when theré were players like Biernacki and Costello to bring it glory. ,, ... The words "Petty Chapmen" may strike many as odd. What are "Petty Chapmen?". Are.they conâ€", fined to Barry‘s Bay? Unforturiately, No! They nave even reached Timmins ;andâ€" th’é ~North. "Petty Chapmen." is only anmher way of sa.ymg‘ "Petty Peddlers.". Indeed, Hawkers, Petty Chap- men, Pedlars, Pedlers, Peddlers, mean allâ€"the same. They are but different names _ for the samef‘nm-' sance. The chances are that Barry my ‘a them a lot of other and worse names before the council went the lengths of passing'a .by law to ?estrain them. i‘. V \g es # The Barry‘s Bay by â€"law. forbids the hawklng or peddling of tea, coffee, spices, ‘ baking pfiwder fdry goods, watches, plated ware, silverware, furniâ€" ‘.ture carpets, upholstery, millinery, coal oil,! tinâ€" "ware carpetâ€"sweepers and electrical applignces, .pr jewelry, spectacles or eyeglasses, unless the hawâ€" ger or peddler has a license so to sell 01: ofler for ale. The license fees are outlined as follows:â€" ‘On foot, $10; with one horse, $15; with two “horses $25; with a boat or automobile or other veâ€" ‘_‘hicle not drawn by a horse or horses, $50." This :appears to provide for floodâ€"time, as well as for the fellow using a wheelbarrow. ; But it is not the baseball or ithe hotckey that brings Barry‘s Bay to the hmehght in this ediâ€" torial article. It is a matter of trade and comâ€" merce and law. In the last issue of The Eganville Leader, the Village of Barry‘s Bay publishes a byâ€" law recently passed by the council of the municiâ€" pality. It is "Byâ€"law No. 35â€"For licensing, Reguâ€" lating and Governing Hawkers, Pedlars and Petty Chapmen within the Mumcnpahty of the Village of Barry‘s Bay." Timmins, Ont., Monday, April.12th,, 1937 . No doubt the peddlers have proven a nuisance in Barry‘s Bay. Larger towns and cities in the Clistrict have had byâ€"laws to regulate these genmy No doubt the result of this has been "that they have ibeen flocking to the unprotected Rarry‘s,Bay, Well, glereafter quite evidently thef‘wi#ll dg their flockâ€" elsewhere. Barry‘s Bay now hag its byâ€" Jaw, and Barry‘s Bay will no doubt enforce its own byâ€"law. i Good Old Barry‘s Bay. In addition to the fees quoted above Barry‘s Bay tequires that an additional dollar shall be paid to the clerk for making out the license. Apparently they think of all angles of a case in Barry‘s Bay. Timmins board of trade had never fajled:the town, :even though at times it appea;red ma\t. pbe town !alled the board of trade. Following t.hq.‘dlbcubsion fi.t the bangquet a resolution was passed by the busiâ€" ;iess men present appointing a committee to interâ€" *llew the president of the board of trade with a giew to increasing the membershm orme b0ard of irade and enlarging its scope of useful‘ness There were some at the banquet who sug ested that the lution would prove useless, a§ fié\héri would taken by the board of trade ma‘ttor sim my dgrift along as before. These mien ‘dppeared to think that a retail merchants‘ assoctation should be formed, apart from the board of trade. There may be need for a retail merchants‘ association, but such an arganization could not do : the work of a board of traftigIncidentally, it might be: well to remember that a board of trade cannot.:carry out all the functions .Of a retail merchants‘ association. of the matters outlined by one:of the speakâ€" m who favoured a separate orgamzation are alt.o- gethe apnrtfromthemncno” a board of trade, » M “"‘ w eb ‘ YALUE OF THE BOARDDE TRADE D OLD BARRYV‘S:BA Y e .ungder . the Jgeaging | sible .to. d Scores of‘ f)'eopel? in |follow the s ® a% 4 P# wn act in the general interests of the wmmnmy This pumbpooes an avoidance of action in cases where the interest is merely secâ€" tional and where the people as a whole are not| concerned. However, it would most assuredly be | in the general interests if the full coâ€"operation of the merchants and business men of the community could be enlisted with the board of trade. ~As soon as the resolution was placed before W. O. Langdon, mesklent of the Timmins board of trade, he acted veryâ€"promptly and effectively. A conference was Ralléd‘between the executive of the board of trade and the local merchants and business men. The meeting is to be held in the town hall on Wednesâ€" ‘aay evening of this week at 8 o‘clock. While placâ€" ing emphasis on the prompt response made by the president of the board of trade, The Advance would like to again stress the fact that this prompt action is the usual rule with the Timmins board of trade. During the past yearâ€"and during other years in ‘m?pastâ€"-the procedure has invariably been the ‘ _*Qsooner did a question arise than the local $ p,afgtdéalt with it as expeditiously as it was posâ€" sible.to do. Anyore who will take the trouble to *follow the récords from‘time to timeâ€"or read the aunpal: reports which summarize the work of each yearâ€"will find that prompt attention has been given to each and every question of interest to the town as soon as the matter developed. ‘~It is true that public meetings have not been featured. This has been due to the fact that it has seemed impossible to maintain interest in any form of regular meetings. It has been equally impossible to call special meetings when some quesmon would suddenly‘ appear as a problem for the town. Indeed, in many cases, when questions arose, there was not time to call general meetmgs and still d]IOW prompt and effective action. It may be with the full coâ€" operatlon of the merchants, public meetings on a regular schedule may be practical. No doubt this would be the more satisâ€" factory proceduré;}]‘:figfii‘nst its probability howâ€" ever, is the fact thatithe; Business Men‘s Associaâ€" tion formed after‘ dnte"'rneeting of the merchants met with exactly tne séme difficulty. There are facing the town of | Timmins and if any plfh can be worked out whereâ€". by there will be interest, greater coâ€"operâ€". ation, "greater assistance, given in the solving of ‘t,hesé" questions, and greater effort given to anyâ€" thing and everything for the benefit of the town ‘and its people, the result will be of general advanâ€" tage. If the material body of business and proâ€" fessional men represented by the retail merchants gathered together last week can see their way clear toâ€"join up with the board of trade and assist in %fii’fl'vyork the benefits to the town can not be overâ€" estimated. For years the board of trade has been anxious to enlist these men, and it is to be hoped that as a result of the conference on Wednesday night, the Board of trade will receive added strength and influence to carry on the good work to which it is devoted. With the prestige and added ~power given by the addition of a hundred or more business and professional men of the town, the board of trade assuredly could extend its influence and operations in very marked way. This year Timminsâ€"appear to be in special need of a "Cleanâ€"up Week"" The streets are dirty, the yards are dirty. Somfl of, the yards are dirtier than some of the streets; but‘the public does not have to walk through the ‘Y4fTds. The intelligent linotype operator comments to the effect that the pants burglar at Kirkland Lake was simply after "potkét money." Judging from the pictures, the Siamese Twins to appear at the Palace theatre, would have considâ€" able difficulty in staging a "sitâ€"down strike." It is worth noting when patriotism triumphs over party politics. When Premier Hepburn told the Oshawa strikers that he would recognize no "paid foreign agitator," he was placing what he believed to be the good of the country ahead of mere political advantage. . It would appear to have been good political practice for the premier to have followed the same plan asâ€"the mayor of Oshawa has taken in pretending undue friendship to the men on strike. The premier, however, who had acâ€" tually secured advantages ana concession for the men, refused to take any cheap way to popularity when he believed vital issues to be at stake. . He showed courage and patriotism. â€" The Toronto Telegram also forgets partyism to praise the preâ€" mier:for his manly and patriotic attitude to those who would upset the prosperity and progress now opening before Canadian industries and business.

A lad of thirteen years of age, living at Highland Grove, Hailburton County, Ontario, is credited in despatches with killing a bear by use of an axe. The lad is said to have noticed a bear in a hollow tree and used the axe to cut away the wood so that he could have a better view of the animal. While he was chopping the tree the bear emerged and ran for the bush. The boy chased the bear and when the animal turned to attack him, he used the axke with such effect that bruin was soon stretchâ€" ed on the ground.

They have engineered and patented an Agitator that rolls the clothes over 34 times each minâ€" ute and drives 107 currents of water through them at the same time. The clothes never touch the agitator hence the name Cushioned action Washing. Your clothes never tangle, are always free and fluffed therefore you may wash sheerest silks and woollens and never harm a thread and wash them faster and cleaner because nothing in the action can knot or tangle them. This great Washer is entirely manufactured in the huge Westingâ€" house plants at Hamilton with the exception ; of the wringer which is made by the world‘s largest company. The mechanism is made under Westinghouse vprecision methods. It requires no oiling, no attention. It is so vib rationless and quiet because it is made to such close standards.. It is beautiful in many col ours and is guaranteed rustproof. The motor is protected by the Sentinel Breaker.
