The three members of the present board whose terms have expired are:â€"T. A. Skelly, V. Baker and H. W. Hooker. Neither Mr. Baker nor Mr. Hooker are seeking reâ€"election. Mr. Skelly, who has been an active member of the board for some years, is again a candidate. Mr. Skelly has given good service, as have also Mr. Baker and Mr. Hooker. While only serving the one term Mr. Baker has been a very valuable member of the board. Mr. Hooker has been on the board for several years. and his services have been specially advanâ€" tageous to the ratepayers. In addition to Mr. Skelly there are six other names on the ballot for pubâ€" It would be impossible to select three poor men from the list. Indeed, the only difficulty would ssem to be that voting may be so scattered that one or more of the most acceptable of the good list may lose out on this account. Here is the list of the seven candidates: James Cowan, shop foreman, Hollinâ€" ger; James L. Lawson, hoistman; Norâ€" man J. Leaman. manager Eaton‘s Groâ€" ceteria: Alfred B. McCabe, mill man; Arthur Skelly, electrician; Fred W. Stock, district manager Mutua Life Insurance Co.; E. L. Urquhart, merâ€" chant, formerly manager of the Pioneer Stores.

When the firemen arrived on the sceone the family had fled outdoors and dense clouds of smoke were belchingâ€"out of the furnace registers throughout the house. The department used two water lines and 40 gallons of chemicals to bring the fire under control. It required a stubborn fight of one hour and twentyâ€"five minutes before the fire was defiinitely extinguished. The fioor above the fire was burned through in one place and the flames had also eaten their way up the partitions. In addition to Mr. Skelly there are six other names on the ballot for pubâ€" lic school trustees. It must be gratiâ€" fying to the public school supporters to note the high calibre of the candidates. The department during the cek have made a number of runs to differâ€" ent parts of the town for chimney fires and overheated stovepipes but no damâ€" age resulted. Mike and Kareline Klimkovitch, of Timmins, who have twice been charged with highâ€"grading and had the juries disagree on both occasions, have been formally freed of responsibility in the matter and will not face a third trial. Crown Attorney S. A. Caldbick is in receipt of advise from the attorney general directing that no further acâ€" tion be taken. Gold buttons to the value of over $16,000 featured the case, the accused persons being alleged by police to have had them in their house when it was raided on Oct. 3, 1936. Timmins police endeavoured to get in the front door and when delayed, former Chief Paul ran towards the rear, and the alleged parcel of buttons fell at his feet having bseen thrown out of a window. The gold buttons, appearing in court during the trials of November, 1936. and June of this year were guarded continually by a special constable and carried in an 11â€"quart basket.

In a wox'd,‘ the plan of the Christmas Seal cam-' paign is to raise the necessary money’ to carry on tuberculosis prevention work in this town and district. With the exception of a very small percentagel remitted to the Canadian Tuberculosis! Association to pay for the cost of seals! and Stationery, the entire proceeds of| the yearly campaign, are used for work! to fight tubculosis in thisâ€"camp. What the money will do this coming year| may best be illustrated by considering’ what was done last yvear. Last yearl there were 4155 school children given the tuberculin test. There were 5745 school children xâ€"rayed, while 382 adults were examined at the chest clinics. There were also 256 children examined at the chest clinics. There were 210 tubercular patients given care and treatment. There were 2136 visits made to and in the interests of tuberculous patients. It is the earnest belief of those belhind the campaign that tuberâ€" culosis can be eliminated. It has been taking a sad toll of health and lives. Preventative work has been featured. to offset this, and the results are enâ€" couraging, to say the least. The genâ€" eral support of the public, however, is very necessary to make a complete suc-l cess of the work. By remitting for the Christmas Seals, those receiving the: letters from the Porcupine Christmas Seal Committee will be ‘doing their bit." Any who may have been dentally omitted from the list of those! to whom the Christmas Seals are sent should get in touch with any member of the committee. The committee inâ€". cludes:â€"F. H. V. Ball, president; Dr. N. H. Russell, treasurer; Mrs. W. Wren, secretary; Mrs. C. Abrams; Mrs. S. C. Platus: Miss E. Cathers; Miss FP. Farr, nurse, Timmins; Miss L. Wing, nurse, schumacher; Miss G.
