New Canadian Classes Give Notable Concert Vol. XXIII. No. 29 The Pioneer Paper | of the Porcupine. Established 1912 : mmmo'o”oooo stt se lt The New Caradian Classes held their| G annual concert in the White Eagle hall | e on Sixth avenue, on Thursday evening, | a fairly large number of townsfolk beâ€"| ‘ ing present to enjoy the entertaining programme. The classes, which are n being taught by Mr. S. Kostell and Mr. E. J. Transocm, have been held regularâ€" Iy throughout the winter months, to M give new Canadians a. chance to learn their adcpted language, and to underâ€" stand the Canadian customs, The nationalities taking part in the concert included Italian, Ukrainian, ] Polish, Czechoslovakian, Slovenian, and | ©j Hungarian. â€" Each member was eager | a} to make this concert the success that it | yp was, and to show the goodâ€"will and | pi. understanding that they feel toward | ;n one another. | Wt The feature of the evening‘s enterâ€" | ,â€" Features Included Oneâ€"Act Play "Depot Romance," Sloâ€" venian Choir, Gypsy Orchestra, Chorus and Dances, and Many Outstanding Individual Vocal and Instrumental The feature of the evening‘s enterâ€" tainment was a oneâ€"act play "Depot Romance", which was given by the stuâ€" dents of the classes and showed to adâ€" yvantage how well the pupils have masâ€" tered the English language. The story was an interesting and delightful comedy, those taking part in it being Mrs. V. Wagner, Mania Zanolla, Mr. Jchn Zupancheck, Mr. Joe Wiater, and Mr. Tom Wrobel. Mr. John Grad asâ€" sisted the participants. Mr. John Zupancheck, who proved so popular with ‘his piano accordian solo at the concert held last year, was presâ€" ent to render two beautiful selections, accompanied by Freddie Del Guidice at the Spanish guitar. Loud applause of the heartiest kind followed their presentation, and the guitar and accorâ€" dian duet rendered an encore selection. If there had been time, these two perâ€" formers would probably have been kept on the stage all evening, but as each number was exceptionally pleasing, the audiencée had to finally cease their apâ€" plause. Accompanied by â€"W. â€"H. "Scotty" Wilâ€" son, Mr. Jos Geils gave a vocal solo that found great favour. Mr. John Gerec, a student at the classes, recited the pcoem "leisure", in evry commendable style, and Mr. Fred Delewski, another of the students, gave 1 viclin solo that showed how very well a viclin solo that showed how very wel he has mastered this difficult art. Another accordian solo by Mrs..

More Than 150 Present for Banquet on Anniversary of of Immortal Canadian Victory of Great War. Dinner Followed by Enjoyable Programme in the Club Canteen. Cloudy With Showers for Next Few Days is Preâ€" diction of Forecaster. On Thursday evening about thirty friends gathered at the home of Mrs. Peter Kyllonen, corner of Balsam street and Fourth avenue, to honour her with a birthday surprise party. Mrs. Kylâ€" lonen, who was 61 years on April "7th, is one of the real oldâ€"timers of the town, â€"haviny been resident here since the early part of December, 1911. During the progress of the party a discussion arose as to the first white baby in Timmins, and the oldâ€"timers present were agreed that the first baby coming to Timmins was Matt Kimnnari, then two months old, who was brought here by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Matt Kinnari, Sr., when they moved here on Nov. 4th, 1911. Other interesting reminscences of the first days of Timmins were recalled at the party Thursday night, many of them being supported by records made by Rev. A. I. Heinonen when he was in charge of the first Pinnish church in the Porcupine camp in the early days. Mrs. Kyllonen‘s home was filled cn Thursday night when her Finnish Austin Neame, zone commander of the Legion, spoke of the rapid increase in the members of the Legion in Canâ€" ada. Since March of 1936, approximateâ€" ly 14,000 new members have been enâ€" rolled, bringing the total membership to 172,400. He spoke with particular pride in referring to the great work the Legion has done in the past in securing pensions and relief for its members, this factor alone being reâ€" sponsible for the building up of a strong organization. The Last Post, two minutes‘ silence and Reveille recalled the sacrifice of departed comrades who fell in the fields of Flanders in defence of demoâ€" cracy. Viceâ€"President Tommy Parsons proâ€" posed the toast to Vimy Ridge and deâ€" clared that the best way to remember the dead is to help the living. Comâ€" rade Dr. Porter, in the absence of Comrade Burt, made the response. He apologized for the fact that he was not actually at the battle of Vimy, landing in France two days after the fight. He recalled with pride that French and British «Gdivisions had unâ€" successfully tried to take the ridge beâ€" fore the victorious assault of the Canadians. In this connection howâ€" ever he paid glowing tribute to the Imperial troops who protected ithe Canadian flanks in the immortal batâ€" tle, President Walter Greaves presided at the dinner and at the conclusion of a bountiful repast, offered the tcast to the King. The twelfth annual bangust comâ€" memorating the battle of Vimy, held by Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion Saturday night at the Legion hall, was an outstanding success. Many and varied were the exploits ef the Canadian Corps that were retold again and again after a lapse of twentyâ€"one years and the musical programme that followed the dinner eclipsed anything presented heretofore. There were more than 150 present. friends gathered to congratulate her on her birthday and to wish her many happy returns of the day. The choir of the Finnish United Church renderâ€" ed three selections of sacred music suit able to the occasion. Mrs. A. I. Heinâ€" onen, on behalf of fellow members of the Session and Congregation presentâ€" ed a huge bouquet of iovely roses to Mrs. Ky‘lonen. In delivering an address of congratuâ€" lation, in which he spoke of a life of corsecration and service, Rev. Mr. Heinonen also gave some reminiscences of his experiences at the first service of worship conducted in the Finnish language in Timmins on Dec. 12th, 1913, in this same home. Mrs. â€" KyNHonen â€"_made. suitable reriy, thanking her friends for their friendâ€" ship, fellowship and kindliness, and telling some of her experiences in Timâ€" mins twentyâ€"six years ago last Decemâ€" ber. Her reply throughout was most interesting. As there was no railway to Timmins at the time they came here, they had to drive from the end of the rail at South Porcupine to Timmins in the early part of December, 1911. Her husband, who was building their homse here, cleared away the bush around the house, the wood beinz used for fuel. This was at the corner of what is now Fourth avenue and Balsam street. Upâ€" on arrival, Mrs. Kyllonen spent the first night in Timmins at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Matt Kinnari, who had arrived here a month: carlisr, M‘r. Kyllonen‘s house at that timz was the only one in that vicinity. When the late Mr. and Mrs. Matl. Kinnari, Sr., arrived in Timmins on Nov. 4th, 1911, they brought with them "the first baby broug‘ht to Timmins," the then 2â€"moenthsâ€"old Matt Kinnari, Jr., who now lives with his sistor, Ann, (Mrs. Horster), at 103 Filth avenue. The "second baby brought to Timimins" (it was agreed at the party) was Mary McLaugzhilin, daughterâ€" of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. McLaughlin, now of Toronto, who came here in May, 1912. The first bables born in Timmins among the Pinns were:â€"first, Senja Kyllionen, born July 2rd, 1912; second Lily Kinnari now Mrs. Shane, of Norâ€" anda,) born May 27th, 1913; third, Urho Kylionen, born Oct. 23rd, 1913, died in Timmins in October, 1918.
