We liked their poise on the stage, the natlural and casy way they sang, nice blending of voices in the twoâ€"pairt songs and the excellent selection of singing matlerial, but above all we were most pleased with the softness and sweeimnmess of the voice tones.

In the classical music, here toOo, wiil Mr. Delean be greatly missed, as during the past two years a string ensemble, ccmposed of himself along with four of his children, and a few outsiders, have rendered many selections for spccial events, such as outstanding banguets, dinners, concerts ahnd noted occasions. H2 can play with great ability the violin, cello, slide trombone and corâ€" onet. The precision and accuracy of his workmanship has steadf{astly made his name prevaient, and for the past sevâ€" eral years, all work requiring absolute precision has been given in Mr. Deâ€" lean‘s care. Chrome nickel steel work for the plant is done almost exelusively by him. His sterling qualities as a genlleâ€" man, coupled with his willingness to aid and assist others, has mada his name prominent here, and everybody is well aquainted with him. Albert Sandrin tcoo, is well known throughout the N@rth, having lived here the greater portion of his life. Taking his apprenticeship here in the New â€"Cooking Thrills by . Mr. Delean who left FPrance in 1920. where he had trained as a mechanic, came to Iroquois Falls in 1921, a yceal: later, during which time he had resided in Sault Ste. Marie. His ability was soon noticed and in 1922 he was transâ€" ferred to the machine shop. For the past 16 years has been a.steady einâ€" ployee in that department. His rank at starting was a mechanic, but in the years of service here he rose to his present position, assistant foreman ol the Abitibi Mill Machine Shop. Especially will these three be missed in imusical circles, for Mr. Delean, who criginally organized the present Iroâ€" qucois Falls Band herre six years ago, has been their bandmaster since. The two Sandrins also take an active part in the band. able items on the progsramme was the duet by Elaine Leiterman and Maurcen Thomas â€" "Swing Song" (Brahm‘s waltz) and "There‘s a Merry Brown Thrush," given as encore. These little makis sing well tozether and each have distinctive and very pleasing voices. The Children‘s Choir gave as their last *number "Kentuck Babe" (twoâ€"part chorus) and "All Through the Night." and although they must have been very tired after the long programme, they sang the last items as well as the firsc. Mr. Roy Cliftom acted as chairman for this occasion, and thanked all the arlists and the Buffaloâ€"Ankerite orâ€" chestra for their kindness in helding with the programme. The proceeds of the concert will go towards the Children‘s Choir funds, and will no doubt provide them with a treat in the future. froquois Falls, Ont., May 28th, 1936â€"â€" (Special to The Advance)â€"On Junec 7 Iroquois Falls will lose three prominâ€" ent citizens when Mr. Albert De.ean, together with Albert and Arthur Sanâ€" drin, will leave here, to take up a joint machim> shop business in Kirk.and Lake.

TUESDA Y WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDA Y THUE PORCUFMNMIE ADNDVANCE TIMMINIS, ONTARIO After spending all these years under the one roof, becoming fully acquainted with every branch of machine shop work, it was hard for them to decide on a chance. However, although no move was ever made, for the last foor years it was the ambition of the three that some day they should have a shop of their own. Prompted by the short time operation at the mill here, they finally decided to make the venture, and will commence on June 15th, in their rewlyâ€"ersoscted building, of late and prominent design, which will be called the "Kirkland Lake Machine and Weldingz Works." Knowing these three as MJl residents of this vicinity do, it is practically asâ€" sured â€" that théir new undertaking, which involves a great deal of canisal, courage, and work, will prove a markâ€" ed success. Their work will provide great assistance to those requirinz maâ€" chine shop work, and as they are fully capable to dismantle and reâ€"assemble practically all modern equipment, will undoubtedly be beneficial to many orâ€" ganizations and individuals in this mining area. Arthur Sandrin, brother to Albett, also took his trade by learning with the Abitibi, some fourteen years ago. Sinc> his becoming a full fledged mechanic, he has r:mained with the Abitibi, also as a machine shop worker. Their new shop is to be equipped to care for practically come what imay, fcr included in their equipment, is a 22â€"foot long lathe, with a 40" swing. Albertâ€" later returned to Iroquos Falls, where he has remained an emâ€" ploye»r of the Albitibi in the machine shop. mill, he later left to engage in the boxing sport of Kirkland Lake, where he was known as "Al" Sandrin. For three ygars he worked in the district, part time for the Lake Shore and part for the Toburn Mineés. During his off hours he continued in the art of boxâ€" ing, and achieved a high name while there. He was twice matched wit Herby DBeyment, a coming champion in boxing. . Rev. G. C. Pidgeon, ABOVE, and Rev. Robert Hiltz, of Toronto, are representing Canada at a world church conference now being held at Utrecht, The Netherlands. Reâ€" presentatives of 130 Protestant deâ€" nominations are attending the conâ€" ference, which is aimed at forming farâ€"reaching union of all Christian churches. Represents Canada Veronica Ceasar, as a pretty blue buitterfly, did a solo dance, followed by Barbara Barrett, Clara Vovey, Maryâ€" Lou Salisbury, Joyce Thorburn, Rita Dubien and Joan Brennan, as her ccurt of honor. Jo Melville, Elizabeth McNeil and Jean Cowan, in gleaming costumes of Jo Melville, Elizabeth McNeil and Jean Cowan, in gleaming costumes of gold satin, performed a rhythm tap.

Act Four took place in the hall of the black castle, where all matters (Continued from Page One) erpted, and wont with one of Robin‘s men to rest and eat. Then it was that the eager Robin told Maidâ€"Marian of his love and together they aanced and sang "On the Sentimental Side." Both thr> young ladies are very good dancers and have a "takin‘ way" about them. The wee babes, who were very sweet in colored oldfashioned dresses, pantaâ€" loons, and pancake hats, danced deâ€" lightfully, followed by the rhythm tots, three pretty young ladies who also did more than their share to make the reâ€" cital a success. The wee babes were: Mary Harrison, Marilyn Weir, Maryâ€" Lou Salisbury, Joan Sloman, Shirley and Betsy Clarke, and the rhythm tots, Veronica Ceasar, Donna Longmore and ‘Barbara Barrett. Others taking part in the first act were Allanâ€" aâ€"Dale (Frances Jackson), and Friar Tuck (Daphne Gallagher). The second act carried the enthusiâ€" astic audience to a place near a vilâ€" lagze inn in Nottinghamshire, where the villagers were making merry by dancing the sailor‘s hornpipeâ€"Veronâ€" ica Coasar, Ruth Irvin, Katherine Kinsey, Peggy Harris, Mary Leiterman, Mary Kemsley, Joyce Thorburn, Lois Clark, Kathryn Lafontaine and Shirâ€" ley Ramberg.

Judict exten They also will have a smaller lathe, 10 feet long, with a 20" swing. Mil!â€" machine, sharper, pipe threading equipment, and drill presses will be amongst the new purchases made by these three. A fine feature of this new shop, n, that they have no intentions of cutâ€" ting in on any garage work, this shop being tlotally for machine shop work. However, if any garage owner des‘res this typ»> of work to be done, he can feel assured of the best work available.

Mr. Holtz, who, previous to coming to Timmins, was engaged in the tannery business, gave the members a comprehensive description of the leather industry, dcaling at length on the proper methâ€" ods of tanninz and the various types of hides. He also made a number of suggestions that should be followed in determining the quality of shoe leathâ€" er. Among the visitors for the dinner was Max Silvorman, a member of the Sudbury Lions Club and woll known as the manager of the Sudbuty Cub Wolves, the hockey team which inade a successful European tour last winter. The genial hockey mentor regretted that time did not allow him the opâ€" portunity to give a full description of the trip but promised to do so future date.
