Delightful Event at Home of Mrs. Dalton, Sr., Ausâ€" pices of 1.0.D.E. Mrs. Moody was in charge of the deâ€" corations for the occasion. The tea table was’laid with a lovely white mosaic cloth, and bore a centrepiece of red and white double asters. Red candles in silver holders, and red hearts scattered on the cloth completâ€" ed the charming and appropriate Valâ€" entine picture, and vases of beautiful cactus dahlias and red peonies added to the attractiveness of the rooms.

Many Share in Benefit from Tourist Business The popularity of Canada among tourists is shown by the fact that 17 million visitors came to the Dominion during 1938, according to C. K. Howard, Manager, Tcurist and Convention Burâ€" eau, Canadian National Railways. It is estimated that these visitors spent approximately $269,000,000 in Canada for goods and services. During last year sportsmen paid $600,000 for licenses in Canada and spent about $25,000,000 for supplies and services. Last year conventions held in the prinâ€" cipal centres across Canada numbered 981, producing an estimated revenue of $24,000,000 to the cities concerned, representiniz a fair increase over the previous year. "While this tourist trade is encourâ€" aging, it but reveals the great potential development available in Canada along this line," stated Mr. Howard, "and should make every citizen interested in supporting the work that is being done by Federal and Provincial Governâ€" ments, civic organizations, transportaâ€" tion companies, tourists bureaus, etc." Indicative of the work that is going forward by provincial governments for attracting tourists, it is pointed out that continuous highway improvement is being made in Ontario, while Quebec has a splendid highway encircling the Gaspe Peninsula and improvements are under way in other areas. Nova scotia has all main highways hardâ€" surfaced and New Brunswick is doing good work in this direction, while Prince Edward Island is also improving the roads. Referring to the importance of the tourist traffic to Canada, Mr. Howard pointed out that every phase of inâ€" dustry is affected by this influx of visiâ€" A â€" Quickâ€"MHealing Salve for Cyanide Rash, Ecrema, â€" Psoriasis, Impetigo, Salt Rheum, Itch, Chavs, and most skin ailments,. â€" $1.00 ; $2.00 sizes.

TherGrexton youth sustained a broâ€" ken leg, while the Johnson boy‘s inâ€" juries were confined to a broken elbow. Both were ably toâ€"day L. Ducharme, 21, driver ofI M« Namara Construction Company truck which the boys slip into, told Teck Township police that he was parked in front of the post office about 3.20 Satâ€" urday afternoon and, after pulling away, noticed the bovs on the sleigh coming down a hill toward the road Ducharme swung the truck to the left in an effort to avoid a crash but his move was too late and the sled piled up against the right rear wheel of the truck. SAVE FUEL The two injured youths were taken to the hospital whwere they were atâ€" tended by Doctors Messenger and Tesky, who reported them in favourâ€" able condition toâ€"day. Police, so far this season, have had little reason to issue their perennial warning against cleighing on streets. For the most part, young boys and girls ‘have replied to their request by using back lanes and remote hills, decreasing the possibility of any fatalities. The township has built two sleigh runs for the youngsters, one south of the Kirkâ€" land Rand (Premier) Mine, the other at Fourth and Allan. In Swastika there are some natural sleigh runs. New York, Fsb. 14.â€"Fluids now used for fire extinguishers which look like water but float rocks as big as a man‘s nead were announced today as a new I aid to mining. smm Liquid Which Floats Rocks New Timeâ€"Saver in Mining The extinguishers were described to the American Institute of Mining and Metallurtzical Engineers as useful for separating the rock from seventyâ€"five minerals ranging from coal to gold. The rocks, broken by blasting of power tools, come from the mines mixed with the mingrals in such indiscriminate masses that it might take days for one man to separate a truckload by hand. But dumped into a trough of the liquid, flowing about A mile an hour, the rocks either float while the valuable minerals sink, or the reverse if the minerals are the lighter weight. The two flow out of the end of the trough as completely separated as swimmers and fish in a river. The liquid‘s density can be regulated so that rocks which are half mineral and half dross will flow along midway between top and bottom of artiâ€" ficial stream. Actually the liquid never tOuches Luie rocks whether they float or sink in it. The new duPont process immunizes both rocks and minerals against the extirmuisher by dipping them in a bath of water mixed with a few thousandths of ons per cent. of tannic acid. The acid causes a thin film of water to "jacket" the rocks so tightly that the extinguisher does not wash it off. The rocks emerge still jacketed with water and the extinguisher flows off for further use. were reported progressing favorâ€" Gyproc Wool Insulation THIS WINTER WITH SERVICE Timmins, Ont. the liquid never Louches the 21, driver of the Mcâ€" MATERLALS BUILDIXG Wedding Tuesday at Notre Dame Church The Rev.

Kirkland Lake Not Favouring Secession Reports in Outside Newsâ€" papers Miclsading, Says Reeve Carter. Returning to town from a meeting of the Association of Northern Muni-‘ cipalities held at South Porcupine on Friday, Reeve, R. J. Carter, who was accompanied there by Councillors Church and Cown and Clerk J. W. McBain, told The Northern News that the Kirkland Lake delegation had not supported the secession and boycott of Southern Ontario industries adâ€" vanced by Mayor Bartleman of Timâ€" mins as good weapons in the battle for readjustment in favour of the municipalities of mines taxation disâ€" tribution. "I regret." said Mr. Carter, "that reports in outside dailies convey the impression that the meeting was unanimous in supporting Mr. Bartleâ€" man." (From Kirkland Lake Northern News) Mr. Bartleman‘s proposal of secession was â€"backed by Charles Bromley, finance chairman for Whitâ€" ney, while Councillor Charles Sweet of the municipality advocated boycott, recalling what he termed a successiul application at Kirkland Lake in earlier days. Mr. Carter said that it had been tried more recently without effect, addâ€" ing that even a visit from the Toronto Board of Trade had failed to produce results. Reeve Evans of Tisdale reâ€" marked that boycotting hit the indiviâ€" Married. dual, and added to the cost of purchasâ€" ing. He did not go on record as faâ€" vouring secession either, Teck, Tisâ€" dale, Whitney and Timmins were reâ€" presented at the meeting. Councillar Church, of Kirkland Lake moved a resolution which passed for acquainting the citizens of the four municipalities with the tax situation, and the arguments for a greater share of mines taxation. Carter Gives Report In reporting on the most recent overâ€" tures to Mr. Hepburn, Reeve Carter said : "Mr. Hepburn promised that someâ€" thing would be done after the Rowell Commission met. He was very much interested in the brief presented to him at that time, and told the delegation that he would like to present a part of the brief prepared by the municipalities to the Commission. The Prvincial Government is entirely in sympathy with our cause, and Premier Hepburn believes that we should get a more equitable distribution of the mines taxes, but we cannot hope to get it from Provincial Government until they are able to get some recognition in this respect from the Dominion Governâ€" ment. Proper Treatment A motion was put to the meeting by Mayor Bartleman to the effect that the Mining Municipalities of Northern Onâ€" tario secure proper treatment from the mines. Bromley of Whitney and Sweet of Whitney, spoke on behalf of the smaller properties, urging that some lgopâ€"hole be left in the motion to take care of jstruggling nonâ€"producers. Mayor Bartlieman was of the opinion that the Government‘s policy being of extreme leniency in this regard, smallâ€" er properties would be taken care of in any case, ed Reeve Victor H. Evans adled to the discussion when he pointed how one mine in Tisdale showed a 17 milâ€" lion dollar surplus over the past year, which was 25 times thé capital debt on the muncipality. "If even a small percentage were levied per share," said Reeve Evans, "our capital debt would be liquidated The reeve made mention of the comâ€" munity improvements made possible by the mines, recreational buildings and the like. % "The gesture dctrauds the issue when THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS. ONTARIO mines build these community centres," he said. "When you analyze the thing it is only something to {fjg the issue."? Evans Bars Secession Reeve Evans made mention of Mayor Bartleman‘s suggestion of secession. "I am opposed to dmntegratmv the Province of Ontario," he said. "Canada already has too much government." ; Reeve Carter put himself on recor d . as opposing secession also, and advancâ€" ; ed the theory that ignorance of the! mines tax peitition was not confined to the masses alone, but included many | government members. i Aftom :.
