Big Increase is Shown _ In Drunk Driving Here Buffaloâ€"Ankerite Picnic an Outstanding Success About two thousand employees and their families joined hands with Mothâ€" er Nature on Sunday to make the secâ€" ond annual Buffaloâ€"Ankerite picnic and Field Day an outstanding success. The event, which was held at the mine grounds, and at the Buffaloâ€"Anâ€" kerite Park at MacDonald Lake, was in charge of a committee, headed by Mr. Charles Brown and Mr. A. K. Kinâ€" kel. Mr. R. P. Kinkel, mine manager, had a great deal to do with the success of the afternoon, being always ready to congratulate winners and to encourage entries into the various events. a large number of employees had come by car and bus, the latter being supâ€" plied by the mine free of charge. As the cars entered the mine ground, the employees were advised to visit a ticâ€" ket stand, where a generous supply of refreshments tickets was given to each member of the family. Special booths had been built, where a large number of men were kept busy handing out "pop", ice cream, hot dogs, etc., to merry crowd of picnickers. Altogether the gathering consumed over 8000 botâ€" tles of soft drink, 6500 ice cream cones and 3000 hot dogs. During the afternoon tea was served in the dining room to women and small children, and many people found pleasâ€" ant relief from the burning sun in the school house where the now wellâ€"known Buffaloâ€"Ankerite orchestra directed by Mr. J. Bridges, played band music. Many people also took advantage of the opportunity to tour the mill, being escorted by James and Paul Engstrom. Those in charge of the day‘s events were: George Humphreys, master of ceremonies; Claude Bowker, prize disâ€" tributor; Charles Brown, chairman; Art Kinkel, viceâ€"chairman; Hyman Rozoâ€" vski, mine photographer; Bill Leino, Bb Pritchard, Bill Cox, Art Kimberâ€" ley and Hugh Allan, in charge of the registration desk. speaking to The Advance reporter, Mr. R.

Garner, now of Chatham, were visitors to town this week and were given very héarty greeting by wide circles of friends made here during their long residence in town. Mr. Garner was supervisor of the CGovernment Employment Bureau in Timmins for many years aftetr his return from overseas service. Previous to the war he was a popular pioneer of the camp. Five years ago Mr. Garâ€" ner was transferred to the Employâ€" ment Bureau at Chatham, Ontario. Vol. XXIII. No. 61 Mr. and Mrs. H. C.

While convictions for reckless and grunken driving for the past seven months of 1938 show a considerable increase compared with the figures for vyear 1937, accidents and injuries have declined to a marked degree. The records for 1988 show clearly the results of a systematic police campaign against negligent driving and disregard of traffic rules No effort has been sparrd to remove the drunken driver from the streets of Timmins with the result that up to the end of July fiftéen convictions have been registered comâ€" pared with eleven for the whole of last year. Seventyâ€"three were either sentâ€" enced or fined for reckless driving in 1937 and up to the present time this year fortyâ€"six convictions have been mads for the same offence. More Convictions for Seven Months than for Whole of Previous Year. Reckless Driving Also More Prevalent. Accidents and Injuries Show Marked Decrease The most cheerful aspect of the periocd under review is in the matter of accidents. During 1937 there were seveniyâ€"five persons injured but for seven months of 1938 this has been cut dewn to fifteen, Last year there were 95 accidents where damage exceeded $50 but so far this year in only 31 cases has the damage been in excess of this amount. The most striking feature of the analysis is the fact that while last year there was a total of 348 accidents where the damage was under $50 there has been only 83 of this vari¢ety so Tar.

R. Stiver, local revenue collector, ‘ is ‘willing to admit that Timmins has a lot of bicycles. When the recent byâ€" law was passed requiring the licensing of all} bicyctes~500â€" sets were considered ample for the town‘s needs. This supply has been exhausted and three hundred additional licenses have been ordered.

Considerable development has taken place from the two shafts sunk on the property and officers of the company feel that from the results obtained so far, the building of a mill is fully warâ€" ranted.

The Ladies‘ Auxiliary . of the Canaâ€" dian Legion held a general meeting on Monday evening in the Legion hall, for the purpose of making final arâ€" rangements for the picnic which they are holding toâ€"day. The buses left Dalâ€" ton‘s at 11 o‘clock this morning for the new picnic grounds at the river, and as all évents held by the Auxiliary this is sure to ke a very enjoyable occasion. Because the picnic is being held toâ€"day there will be no afternoon tea party as has been the custom during the summer months, but members are adâ€" vised that the parties will be renewed next Thursday.

Ladies‘ Auxiliary Making Arrangements for Picnic To Hold Nomination Sept. 7 Despite the fact that Prime Minister Mackenzie King has definitely anâ€" nounced that there will be no election this year, Cochrane Federal Liberal Asâ€" sociation decided to hold a nomination meeting on September 7 at a gathering held in Cochrane yesterday. Timmins was well represented at the meeting, the delegation including Emile Brunette, J. E. Lacourciere, Jack Powâ€" ers, Napoleon Caron, J. W. and Mrs. Spooner and Miss Spooner. Owing to the resignation of the secreâ€" tary, Mr. Duranceau, the appointment of J. W. Spooner, of Timmins was made to fAill the vacancy. J. A. Bradette, M.P., was present for the occasion and at the conclusion of the meeting was host at a dinner at one of the Cochâ€" Mr. Caron, of Timmins, forâ€" ward the question of bullding a new bridge over the Mattagami River at the foot of Wilson avenue but was advised that this is a provincial matter, ‘ublished at Timmins, Ont., Canads. Every MONDAY and THURSDAY The people on the other side of the Mattagami river, just across the bridge, have been trying to build a section of beauty and attraction. They have planted trees, flowers, and otherwise sought to beautify their This is all to the general public advantage and dzserves the support and encourâ€" agement of all good citizens. Informaâ€" tion given The Advance this week, however, is to the effect that instead of Public Asked to Help â€" Protect Trees,, Flowers coâ€"operation and assistance, these good citizens have had the most discouragâ€" ing experiences. In their efforts to beautify the banks of the river they have encountered much wanton desâ€" truc‘ion and vandalism. Flowers have been deliberately uprooted and senseâ€" less injury has been done to trees,. It might b> thought that those visiting the place would be glad to enjoy the shads and beauty being created,. Inâ€" stead there seems to be a wanton desâ€" truction and injury that is most disâ€" ccuraging. The trees have suffered particularly, branches being broken off and the trees otherwise injured in such a way as to destroy their beauty and to endanger the life of the trees. As the section is cutside the town limits, the help of the Timmins police is not availâ€" able. It is difficult to get in prompt touch with the provincial police and the latter in view of the large territory under thrir charge are not able to patrol the area and so prevent the inâ€" jury to property about which complaint People Across River Making Creditable Effort to Build a Section of Beauty and Deserve Every Encouragement and Support. Parents and Others Asked to Help. is very properly mads. Investigation, howetvter, seems to suggest that the breaking of branches and other injury to the trees is the work of halfâ€"grown and overâ€"grown boys, most of them of an age that should place them in posiâ€" tion to realize the harm they are doing and the senselessness ‘of it all. It is not the desire of the tree owners to prosecute anybody but they feel that something must be done. Some of them fsel that if the destruction conâ€" tinues the parents of the boys concernâ€" ed shouild be brought to court and fined for the damages resulting from the thoughtless folly of their lads. In the meantime, it might be a good idea for parents to impress upon their boys the need for respect for the rights of others and the duty that all qwe to the public in the matter of avoiding uaâ€" necessary damage, especially to trees and flowers that are in realtty a genuâ€" ine public asset, in which all may share. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4TH, 1988 _â€"The matter is of very special imâ€" portance at this time, not only in reâ€" gard to the properties just across the river but also‘ to those in town. Trees planted by the Timmins Horticultural Ssociety along the River Road have suffered severely fromâ€" vandalism. Many of them are destroyed as the result of senseless injury calused by boysâ€"some of these boys being old ensugh to pay taxes. The trees across the river have sufâ€" fered particularly from the depredaâ€" tions of young men using motor boats. Sometimess, it looks as if these lads run their boats to the bank, climb out, tear a few branches from nearby trees, and then jump into their boats and hustle away before anything can be done to trace the vandals. In this connection one living across the river has a suggestion that appears to have value. She suggests that all boats have numâ€" bers painted on them in conspicious way. Motor boats would then be as easily traced as automobiles.. By such a plan it might be possible to trace offending parties in motor boats and bring them to justice. Of course, this is a matter for the Dominion and proâ€" vincial authorities, the local municiâ€" palities not having jurisdiction in such matters. The idea seems worthy of careful consideration, however, as anyâ€" thing that would tend to prevent or punish the wanton destruction of trees and ffowers in this country is something especially worth while. Four Fire Calls Here in Last Seven Days During the past week Timmins fire department have only had four calls, none of the fires causing any Children playing in a vicant house at 126 Main street, owned by J.

Revisiting Timmins After Eleven Years‘ Absence Very welcoms visitors to Timmins this week are Mr. and Mrs. Curnow, who were among the pioneer residents of Timmins, and who left here eleven years ago to take up residence in their native Cornwall, England. Mr. Curâ€" now came here in 1913 and saw the town grow from a mere handful of stores and houses to a place of city size and style. For over fourteen years Mr. Curnow was in the employ of the Holâ€" linger, and he and Mrs, Curnow were ameng the most popular of the oldâ€"time residents of the camps. Since 1927 they have been living in Cornwall, Engâ€" land, and on their present visit here they see remarkable growth and exâ€" pansion in Timmins. "It‘s a regular city now," Mr. Curnow remarked to The Advance this morning, adding:â€" "It‘s built up now in every direction, and has become the big city that the oldâ€"tlmers could only picture in theip mind‘s eyewiththetaithtbeyhadln the country and its resources."

He had a cut over one eye, and other evidence made it clear that he had stumbled and fallen, striking his head against the dock or on a stone, and stunning himself so that he fell in the water and died in that way. The body was found this morning when he failed to report for duty as usual and enquiry at his home resulted in it being learned that he had.: not been home during the night. It ‘is thought that the accident happened between 7 and 8 last night while he was taking a look around the hangar beâ€" fore quitting for the day. A postmorâ€" tem is being held this afternoon and an inquest may also follow, though the way the death occurred appears plainâ€" ly accidental. News of the death caused much reâ€" gret in South Porcupine, the late Alex Ross being highly esteemed by all who knew him and particular sympathy beâ€" ing felt for the bereaved family.
