Twenty years ago organization was completed in Timmins and distric; for the Victory Loan campaign, which was to start on October 28th, 1918, for the Northern Temiskaming District. The total objective for Northern Temâ€" iskaming was $425,000.00 of which the Timmins district aimed at $250,000.00 The Advance of October 23rd, 1918, gave a complete list of the executive, canâ€" vassing teams, special subscription comâ€" mittees, publicity committee, etc. *Twenty years ago The Advanc> adâ€" vised all men to carry their military papers or registration cards right with them all the time, as this would likely prevent trouble or annoyance for them. Mention was made of three men who were before the magistraie in police court for nmnot having the necessary papers. One man was fined $50 and costs because though foreignâ€"born, he had no papers of any kind. The othâ€" er two were fined $10 and costs each, though hd they used common sense and any regard for the requirements of the law, they could have proteci>d themselves all right. The following from The Advance of October 23rd, 1918, will make clear the plan under which the Cochrane Disâ€" trict Teachers‘ Institute was operated: "In sending an account of the first annual meeting of the North Temisâ€" kaming Teachers‘ Institute, held at Monteith in the college building of the Experimental Farm, Miss B. M. C. Shaw, of South who was appointed as official press reporter of the proceedinzs, refers to the purposes of the convention. The Ontario Deâ€" partment of Education provides that in every inspectorate two days shall be set aside cach year for the meeting of all the teachers of the insp:ctorate for the interchange of thought, the disâ€" cussion of the best methods of teachâ€" ing, and for considering proposals to the Education Department for improveâ€" ments in the present school system. Attendance at these conventions is compulsory. and Miss Shaw sugzgests that it might also be a good idea if the Department of Education also made it compulgomy: for at least one member of each gbo'l‘bcard to attend so that the public mizht thus get a clearer inâ€" sight into the ‘value of such instituâ€" tions." The report proceeds to say that Mr. Pickerinz, of Iroquois Falls, occuâ€" pied the chair for the two days,. and was ably and gracefully assisted by Miss Mona Brown, of Timmins. Among the resolutions ‘passed for presentation to the department were ones relating LO the need for a change in the Primer and First Reader, with possible alteraâ€" tions in all readers; for amendment to magp P LAAA C AP L P P C l h o o P o t 2 C d ® m"ooooooooooooooo‘ooo‘ The Advance twenty years ago paid | much attention from week to week to| the influenza or "fla" epidemic or epiâ€"| demics in progress in the North. Somcl people were inclined to become panicâ€"| stricken in the matter, and by reason | of the very fear so bred make themâ€" selves the more likely to fall victims ; to the epidemic. While recognizing the seriousness of the epidemic and urging all possible precautions,. The Adâ€"| vance persistently urged that the wild stories so frequently spread by thoughtâ€"| less and excited pecple be disregardxedz and that cheerfulness be maintained while doing everythinz to prevent the spread of the disease, "Be careful, but not overâ€"fussy!" was the advice of The Advance. In its issue of Oct. 23rd, 1918, The Advance pointed out that up| to that time, Timmins had largely cs-i caped the epidemic. There wore only about a dozen cases in town then. â€"As a precautionary measure the local| Board of Héalth had ordered the clos-i ing of all poolrooms, schools, churches, the theatres.:sete. The ice cream parâ€" lours, bars, ¢tc.. were not closed, bu;' the public were advised not to conâ€" gregate in crowds there or the places! would be closed. South Porcupins had | had about 200 cases of "flu" with 15| deaths. The lumber camps up the| river had syffered much,. One man‘ at the Pulp Company‘s‘ camps had died. There were severa!! ill at Mr. Boivin‘s camps. At Iroquois| Falls there were seven deaths in a week, with two ofllowing week, but the| worst seemed to be over. â€"Cobalt, MOKDAY, OCTOBER 318T, 10938 T wenty Y ears Ago| From The Porcupine Advance Fyles AT 8,00 P.M.
