Charlton for the Bay attempted to go through the middle of the scrimmage line and was downed by Romualdi behind his own line for two points.

The orchestra of the Y.P.S. of the Timinins Finnish United Church had their first full practice Saturday eve- ning, Oct. 1. at eight o'clock at the residence of Miss Esher Leiman on Balsam St. N.. There was a 100 per cent attendance, and instrumental pro- gramme for the first YPS. concert and lantern lecture to be held in the Timmins Finnish United Church this week Friday, was practiced. The work proved quite satisfactory. In the orchestra there ans now the the following instruments: Three Spanish guitars. played by Miss Esther Leiman. Miss Ellie Heinonen and Mr. Toiv.) Kallio; two Hawaiian guitars, played by Miss Alma Nykanen and Mr. Helge Hongisto; one cornet, played by Rueben Petersen; organ or piano, play- ed by Miss Myra Heinonen; mandolin or violin, played by Mr. Leivo Punkari; lute, played by Rev.

First Hmp-Ski‘rt At Timmins Club Dance Many Points of Interest at the Annual Tennis Club Event. Music for the occasion was supplied by Andy Cangiano and his well-known band. who rendered both smooth and swing music in a manner that had the crowd enjoying every step of the dance. Another pleasing feature of the dance was the array of lovely gowns worn by the ladies. an important fact being that the Tennis Club dance introduced to the people of Timmins the first “hoop-skirt.“ a revival of the days when dances began early in the evening and ended! before mid-night. Novelties were distributed in large quantities, and with the noise-makers going at full blast, the event sounded very much like a New Year‘s celebration. A delicious lunch of sandwiches. cake and coffee. was served. and nothing that could add to the enjoyment of the dancers had been forgotten. In the very “wee hours of the morning." the band pack- ed away their instruments and a happy crowd left for home. About one hundred and twenty-five students and their friends gathered on Saturday evening at the High and Vocational School auditorium at a party in honour of the North Bay Rugby team, who had played a game with the Timmins High and Vocational School team that afternoon. losing to the local team by a score of 2â€"0. A very happy evening of dancing to Guy Sauve’s orchestra was enjoyed by the merry-makers, the party breaking up at 11.30 pm. after three hours of carefree fun. North Bay Rugby Team Entertained After Game Friends of Mr. Matt Boivin, formerly of Timmins. and friend of the North. will be interested in the interview given The North Bay Nugget by Mr. Boivin in regard to the growth and progress of what he calls “the wonderful North.” Those who remember Mr. Boivin when he lived in Timmins and was promient in board of trade circles and in every other line that might help the North. will not be surprised that Mr. Boivin is still an enthusiast for the North. In addition to the interview The Nugget publishes a two-column half-tane pic- ture of Mr. Boivln with the following caption:â€"â€"“Matthew Boivin, prominent pioneer citizen of North Bay who ar- Pioneer of North Tells of Early Days Matt Boivin, Formerly of Tim-mins, Refers to the Wonderful North and It’s Progress.

The following is the interview given in The North Bay Nugget of Friday last:â€" The North is a great country in which to live. opines Matthew Boivin. one of the district‘s mosL widely known pioneer figures. as he sits by his radio and lecalls the "good old days." Like the old man in, .the song, he lived when the West. or rather Lhe Like the old man in, .the song, he lived when the West. or rather the North was young. He can remember when there was no railroad at North Bay. In fact, there was no North Bay. Bonfield. populated by heavy-swinging lumberjacks, was the last outpost of civilization in the North. Today, in his 68th year, he sits by his radio and follows the European crisis hour by hour on every newscast his set will pick up. Though his health has been poor for the past two years. he is still comparatively active, and takes frequent walks down town. There is nothing he loves better than recall- ing the days of his youth. His clear memory and a flair for humor make his stories well worth hearing. Mr. Bovin paid his first visit to the present site of North Bay in the same year. Going via the Wise. Wasa River, on the ice, he walked to Callander Bay, and then went along Lake Nipissing m where North Bay now stands. At that point .there was nothing but a cabin owned by William McFarlane. who lat- er became father-in-law of John Fer- guson, one of North Bay's first, citizens. “At that time the boys were all work- ing in the lumber camps," he continued. “I went to Sudbury in 1887 to work in the camp of Frances and Rochon." Wild and Woolly It was in the lumber camps that Mr. Boivin found the wildness and wool of the wild and woolly north. The Lum- berjacks of today are a pampered lot compared with the old-time “bushwack- ers," he says. Today. provincial sani- tary inspectors see that conditions meet certain regulations regarding camps. In the early days. however. the regula- tions were laid down’ by hammer-fist- ed foremen who were hired for their fighting capacity rather than their brain content. "I have seen 60 men sleeping in a little shanty that wouldn’t sleep 20 men now." Mr. Boivin said. “There were no tables and no chairs. Just bunks. When you ate your meals. you squatted on the floor and dipped your tea out of a big bucket with your tin mug.

In' 1892 he married the former Amelia La.-l mcthe, and until 1902 they lived on their farm near Bonfield. During that year he entered the lumber contracting business. taking out ties and-piling for the T. N. 0. Railway. In search of good timber area, he once walked the entire distance to-Hail- eybury. His next project was the sup- plying of timber for the Haileybury dock. In 1904 he moved his wife and family to Cobalt. and claims the dis- tinction of having the first shanty in the silver town. He was contracting there when Frederick La Rose dis- covered the La Rose mine. Following the construction boom that resulted in each silver strike, he went to G-owganda in 1908. There he stak- ed claims. In the spring of 1909 he went to Cochran-e, where he obtained a contraCt for 30.000 ties. During the years that followed. he supplied rail- road ties and construction timber in Timmins and Porquis Junction district. Some of the log drives were as long as 90 miles, and by 1916 almost 2,500,- 000 ties had been sold to the T. 86 N. 0., CPR. and C.N.R. In 1928 he formed the Triangle Lumber Company, with J. H. Black and D. L. Jemmett. and the three remained business partners until 1926. During those years. the company suffered tremendous losses when high water broke their booms and several million feet of lumber washed down to James Bay. In 1926 the partnership was dissolved, and Mr. Boivin contracted alone for 6,000,000 feet of lumber for the con- struction of a mill at Kapuskasing. In 1929 he sold his interests to the Hawk Lake Lumber Company. He bought a large stock farm near Lake Talon, on which he resided for several years. In 1933 he was taken seriously ill and underwent an operation. Since that time he has not been in good health. and has spent his time at his North Bay home. In October, 1987, and again in May. 1938, he suffened strokes which left him weakened in health. though. still bright of spirit. Mr. and Mrs. Boivin have five of a family of 17 children still living. There are three girls, two of whom are nuns, and two sons. Anthony, of Ruthlzrglen, and Harry. of Feronia. Picton Gazette: Knowing that you don't kan much is knowing a lot.

Writing on “This Business of Growing Old," Dr. Martin says: “There is in our annals. a long list. of men whose age allegedly far ex- ceeded 100 years. Let me cite but one â€"-and a famous one at that: “Thcs. Parr was born in. 1483 and died at the age of 152 years m 1635. It is recorded of him that he was married at 88 and had two children. but ap- parently the true course of love did not run smooth. He did penace at the age of 105 and married againâ€"a widow. age 122. Being a pathological curiosity. he was brought from his English coun- tryside to London to meet Charles Iâ€" 'had a wonderful reception and for the first time in his life. tasted wineâ€" shortly after which he died! Doubts Stories Told of Extreme Longevity (Eases “William Harvey. the discoverer of the circulation of the blood, performed a post-mortem on Thos. Parr. but tells us that he failed to find anything wrong with his organs. “Of this and so many other legendary cases of longevity. one can say with assurance that. the records were inac~ curate. In the last 100 years when our means of registration of births and deaths have been proved. we find no uch extreme cases. “As a matter of fact. only about one person in 75,000 reaches the age of 90. “The answer 'to all this can best. be found in the Province of Quebec. Here the census of bir‘ths. marriages and deaths among French Canadians is practically complete for more than 300 years. A remarkable study by Charles Tache and Abbe Tang'uay of the period 1608-1876 reveals the truth. “Up to 1876â€"421 reputed centenar- ia-ns had lived in Canada. Many of these had been immigrants or Indians, the date of whose birth could not be v;rified. Further accurate study reduc- ed the list to 82 names of individuals. whose ages could be absolutely proved by authentic documentsâ€"and of these 80 were French Canadians â€" '73 were. pasitively shown to be less than 1003 years oldâ€"and only 9 have been genu- i ine centenariansâ€"and of these 9, onlyt 6 lived over 100 years.
