About one hundred members and their families were present at the Laâ€" dies‘ Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion picnic held at Golden City on Wedâ€" nesday. The sun shone down on the merry picnickers all day, so that it was no wonder every one had an es- pecially lovely time. Mrs. George set an example for other members by bringing three children from ‘the Children‘s Shelter and two other youngsters to the picnic. It is thought that perhaps next year, many, if, not all, the members will join in this kindly method of bringing sunâ€" shine into the lives of those who are less fortunate than others. Mrs. Harris kindly loaned her camp at the beach for the occasion, and asâ€" sisted in other ways in making the picnic a success. Much credit is due to the president, Mrs. E. Price, for her untiring work in making this event so attractive in every manner. She was ably assisted by Mrs. Craig, Mrs. G. Harris, Mrs. Jacklin and Mrs, McCord. Orariges, peanuts, allâ€"day suckers, and loads of ice cream were served to the children, making it a red letter day for them, for is there anything children enjoy better than lots of good things to eatâ€"and that does not omit most grownâ€"ups! One of the biggest attractions for the citizens of the district will be the March Past of the Legionaires. This will follow the Mcemorial Service at 6.30 p.m. on Monday, August 23rd. Large contingents of Legion members and exâ€"servicemen are coming from the other branches in Northern Onâ€" tario to attend this service which will be conducted by Archdeacon F. G. (known to every Canadian trooper as ‘"The Canon". Rev. Sidney Lambert, Padre of Christie Street Hosâ€" pital, and other notable ministers of the days of the Great War, will also assist, along with local clergy. So far billeting has been the biggest problem to tackle, but it is hoped by convention time that this will be overâ€" come and everyone comfortably quarâ€" tered.

There were no clues as to who stole the expensive machine. Aii prints had been destroyed by the weather. The thieves had evidently broken through the bottom of the cash drawer to get at the money inside. They got but little. The register was not beyond repair. The cash register, of an expensive make, was pretty well battered but not beyond repair.

Firemen have had only two calls since last Thursday. The first was on the Civic Holiday, when they were called to the pavilion by the river to administer oxygen to Sam Gord, 22, who was almost drowned and was dragged unconscious from the river when he got out beyond his depth. The second call came the next day to 31 Patricia street. Chemicals sufficed to put out a small fire which started from grease in an overheated electric oven.

There was a meeting held on Saturâ€" day evening at which new officers were elected for the Timmins Conservative Association. In view of the fact that there was not sufficient advertisement of the meeting, many of the regular members of the party did not know of the meeting and consequently it was not representative, It was dominated by employees and associates of a supâ€" posed aspirant for the party nomination to such an extent that effort is being made now to have a regular meeting of the association with due notification to all members and to unite the party for the coming election. ~~Gord was none the worse for his terâ€" rifying experience.

He struggled and grew frantic and people on shore, thinking he was only swimâ€" ming or fooling in the water, did not bother to go to his assistance.

Sam Gord, 22, had a narrow escape "rom Ceath on Monday afterncon when he got caught beyond his depth in the Matiazami river near the dancing paâ€" vilicn. Gord apparently could not swim at all.

The support of all interested is needed, and all should help all they can. Rev. W. M.

There have been 15 life memberships already received, practically every head of departments In a remarkable address given to the Riverside Kiwanis Club, Toronto, on Tuesday of this week, J. L. Prentice, K.C., gave new and unusual light on the question of the secession of Norâ€" thern Ontario from the South. Mr. Prentice, who spent some years in the North and knows whereof he speaks, scouted the idea that secession was an idle opinion. Indeed, he went so far as to suggest that it was not only a live issue, but might prove of general advantage. His address is of much inâ€" terest and so is given herewith in full: sShould the North Secede? From time to time, rumors of secesâ€" sion drift down from Northern and Northwestern Ontario. They are not given much prominence in Toronto, beâ€" cause, I presume, that Toronto does not care to admit or advertise any dissenâ€" sion within the province. After considerable study of the situâ€" ation, and knowing the North as few citizens of Toronto are privilegeed to know it, I am convinced that the adâ€" vocates of secession have justification for their attitude. A group of Toronto business men who went up there reâ€" cently on what they described as a goodwill tour, encountered some very real grievances; but, unfortunately, the delegation could do little about it exâ€" cept admit the fact. I learn from various sources that this secession sentiment is much more widespread than most people down here suspect It appears to be growing instead of diminishing. It is the smoke of a smouldering fire which may evenâ€" tually break out and sweep the whole North country. The campaign or the building of a new hospital at South Porcupine to serve the eastern part of the camp started on Tuesday and is doing well. A large and efficient force of canvassâ€" ers is at work and making a thorough canvass. The first day saw $3.700 colâ€" lected., Most of the people seem to be following the day‘s pay plan though many are doing better. There is to be no canvass of Timmins or Schumacher, it being felt that this part of the camp is well served with St. Mary‘s Hospital, Timmins, but the need for a hospital, fully equipped and able to serve the eastern section of the camp is very apparent. Any in Timmins, however, who are interested in the eastern secâ€" tion of the camp may send their doâ€" nations to the South Porcupine Hosâ€" pital board, who will greatly appreclâ€" ate any such help. There is a reason for it. And that reuson is discontentâ€"political and ecoâ€" nomic discontentâ€"a feeling among the people in the disaffected districts that they have not been getting a square deal. Rev., W. M.
