The new building will be two storeys in height with a large basement and will be equipped with the latest and most modern equipment said Mr. Craven. It will be located on Duncan avenue, just south of the post office. When the building is ready it will be equipped with entirely new machinâ€" ery,.

The ground floor will be used for the operators, general office and waiting rooms. In the basement will be the "trouble shooting"‘ department, along with the instrument boards and oaâ€" nels controlling the circuits. Mr. Craven said that the automutic dial system in use in many southern cities, would not be installed. .

Acâ€" cordingly the theatre nights are keenly anticipated, and so there will be genâ€" eral interest in the fact that announceâ€" ment has been made thas the theatre nights at the H. V.

Friday, January 20th, imarked tnae seventieth milestone in the life of one of Porcupine‘s best known and most esteemed pioneers, Unique Observance of Occasion by Use of "Broadcast" of "Cavalcade of a "Northern Ontario Pioneer." Mr. John Fell the Recipient of Many Handsome Gifts, and Showâ€" ered with Good Wishes. Ssouth Porcupine, Jan. 22nd. Special to The Advance. Mr,. John PFell, of the Dome Mincs, celebrated his birthday amid a demonâ€" stration of good will and affection seldom seen. His sons arranged a surâ€" prise party for their father on Frirâ€" day evening, and invited seventy guestsâ€"‘one for each year of his lifeâ€" to greet him and wish him health and happiness on the auspicious occzâ€" sion. Earlier in the day a gift of a mantel clock with chimes had been sent in from the Consumers‘ Coâ€"operative Soâ€" ciety on which committee Mr. Fell has served as executive for some years Inscribed in gold on the clock were the words "To Mr. John Fell on reachâ€" ing his 70th birthday, from the memâ€" bers of the Consumers‘ Coâ€"operative Society." Then from the boys of the Machine Shop at the Dome, where Mr. Fell has worked for 25 years, came a beautifiu gift of a chair and ottaman upholstered in blue. From the Dome Football Club, oi which Mr. Fell has been president, was sent a congratulatory address, witn: a watch chain and fob (the watch was given him last year from this same club)â€"and a cameo broach for Mrs. Foll. A group gift from all the schoolâ€" teachers, of books, recalls the fact that for many years Mr. Fell was a wollâ€" loved trustee on the S. S. No. 1 Tisdale Public School Board. Gifts frim Individuals were many and varied, all given with a feeliny of real respect and esteem for the whose qualities of sterling worrth have been recognized by all classes., At the surprise party a huge cak« was dGdecorated with seventy cardle ‘ouncillors Brunette and Cousins Clear Up Statements Which May Have Caused Doubt. Brunette Reiterates Stand on Finance Committee. No Mectings Over the Weekâ€"End. Canadu ‘"‘The support I got from all nationâ€" alities in Timmins would indicate that people wanted me on that comâ€" miitee. I could not consider changing my stand unless I was awarded that chairmanship," he said today to The Advance. Another reason advanced by Counâ€" cillor Brunette was that he was the only property owner on the Council, aside from the mayor. Consequeitly, he was in more advantageous position to handle the town‘s finances imparâ€" tially. Counciljor Cousins was asked today if there was any statement he would like to make. He said that nothing changed so far as he was concerned. He did wish, however, to again point out that Mayor Bartleman had been giving a wronz impression regarding relief for single unemployed men. The town would have received 70 per cent. of what it spent on single unemployed men, up to the amount of $12 per month and nothing was heard of that last year. The Mayor, said Councillor Cousins, said that the attack was cowardly when accused of that fact. He said that it was the policy of the whole council and not his doing to refuse relief to single men, That was entirely incorrect, said Councillor Cousins. The Mayor was the only member of the 1939 council who was on the relief committee in 1938 and it was a known fact that the impresâ€" sion that was prevalem, to the efféect that single men were not allowed relief, was his doing and a unique broadcast was staged _ A loudâ€"speaker downstairs was operated from above with Mr. H. M. Turner as radio announcer,. . Then the guests‘( (and the person chiefly caoncerned) lisâ€" tened to a cleverly thoughtâ€"out and well putâ€"on drama of the life of Mr. John Fell, from the time when he embarked at the old Union Station in Toronto on December 18th, 1911, and came to the North Dome, through the years to the scene at the closing of 1938 at the Domeâ€"Ulster football Mr. Turned Called this "Cavalcade of a Northern Ontario Pioneer." The evening closed with fun and dancing, Mrs Fell serving a delicious buffet lunch. We would like to add our congratuâ€" lations and good wishes to those of Mr. Fell‘s other friends and sincerely hope that both Mr. and Mrs. Fell may be spared to cel¢brate many more birthdays together with their friends in the Porcupine Camp.
