Vol. XXIII. No. 38 Ask Highway Department to Take Immediate Steps to Repair Highway from Timmins to Porcupine. Citizens are Requested to Observe May 23 as Holiday Instead of Timmins Town Council will make a formal protest to the Ontario Departâ€" ment of Highways regarding the conâ€" dition of the road from Timmins to Porcupinc. A resolution to this efâ€" fec:, sponsored by Councillors Pichs and Brunette, was passed at the reâ€" gular meeting Wednesday afternoon. Mayor Bartlieman charged that all the neccssary cquipment and material is lying idle alongside the road but noâ€" thing is being done to start any imâ€" provements. One â€" particularly bad spot is the section that was graded and filled at Rea Hill cast of Schuâ€" macher last winter. Another portion: badly in need of repair is alongside the South Porcupine hospital. The road in these and other places is so rough and filled with pot holes that a constant danger to persons using the road and their cars is constituted. May 24h Holiday Despite the fact that Prime Minisâ€" ier Mackenzie King has announced that the changing of the May 24th holiday from Tuesday to Monday is contrary to the statutes, but in keepâ€" ing with the expressed opinions of numerous other municipalities, the council passed a resolution asking that business places as well as individuals observe Monday in preference to Tuesâ€" day for a holiday. A communication in this regard was received from the St. Catherines council and at their sugâ€" gestion the local board will also reâ€" quest the Dominion Government to proclaim the observance of all Doâ€" minion holidays for Mondays, regardâ€" less of the day on which they actually fall.

Omer Gauthier, president of the Timâ€" mins Citizens‘ League, appeared before Council Wednesday afternoon and deâ€" clared that a number of men had reâ€" quested him to bring their grievances up for consideration. These men, he stated, claim that partiality is shown at the locat government employment office in giving out jobs and charge that they have been treated with discourtesy and insolence. It had also been sugâ€" gested, Mr. Gauthier told the meeting, that a "black list" of employees is in existence, according to information that had been brought to him. The speaker suggested that the trouble could be eliminated if the town would hire their own men without having the appointments go through the employâ€" ment office.

At the meeting of the committee on Monday afternoon figures on preâ€" miums covering nonâ€"occupacional risks were presented tbut at the suggestion of Mayor Bartlieman, it was decided that cshe price of policies that waula eover accidents during the occupaâ€" tional time of the employees will also be investigated. Ancther point to be dealt with is the question of whether the town or the individual employees will pay the regular premiums. After some discussion the idea of buring a ficet of one iype of cars for the town ‘was abandoned.

If a new directory is issued by the Might Directories it will fill a decided need at present, as may be gathered from a glance at the summary of the scope of the work. The contents of the new directory would include a complete list of all persons twenty years of age or over, with their correct street addresses, occupations, post office boxes in cases where these are retained, and their tele. phone numbers. This section would also include a list of all financial, profesâ€" sional, business or industrial firms, with their executives, officers, addresses, etc. and a list of officers and offices for Dominion, provincial and municipal government, etc. Other features of the directory would include:â€"Miscellaneous section conâ€" taining civic statistics, population, eduâ€" cation, building, assessment and othe.: municipal, provincial and Dominion government information; a street guide showing street by street the names of the householders with the wives‘ names and a complete description of the locaâ€" tion of the street and residence or place of business; a home owners‘ directory (included in the street guide) showing street by street, the residences occupied by owners and those occupied by tenâ€" (Continued on Page Eight) Clearing and Warmer is Forecast Showers May Occur During Coming Weekâ€"End but the Weather Will be Mostly Grazualiy clearing and becom‘ng warmer. was the cheerful forecas. of S.

Each of the performers put "everything they had" into making success of Wedâ€" nesday night‘s offering, and the peoâ€" ple of the camp should be very proud to know that they have among them so many "shining stars." The pianist for the event was Mrs. C. Wilkins, LR.A.M., who has acted as pianist on several other cccasions, and whose work has always been adâ€" mired and applauded by the audience.
