Urges Better Plan for North Settlers Dr. J. C. Cochrane, superintendent of Northern Ontgrio Missions of the United Church, urged more intelligent rid for settlers in the North in an adâ€" dress to the Rotary Club at North Bay this week. ~ Dr. Cochrane deplored the fact that all past attempts to settle the North have been carried out in a naphazard manner, without sufficient consdieraâ€" tion being given to the very distinct needs of settlers in the North Country. Having had years of experience aâ€" mong the newly opened communitiss in the North, Dr Cochrane was able to dGescribe vividly the obstacles which face the settlers. Dr. J. C. Cochrane Conâ€" demns Direct Relief for Settlers.

The Arab population is about 809.,000. He opined that the days of farâ€"flung piloneering are past, and that to get the best out of colonists they must be given adequate equipment to set them on their feet. He favoured the orâ€" ganziation of coâ€"operative communiâ€" tiss as the best manner of making setâ€" tlements permanent. Dr. Cochranse criticized the handing out of direct relief to settlers, without expecting them to work their farms in return. Relief, he said, was a breoeder of idleness among the outlying people of the North. A market for produce grown by setâ€" tlers in the North could be readily found in the mining centres, Dr. Cochâ€" rane said. He cited an instance where a northern housewife was heard to say that there wasn‘t a chicken to be found within 30 miles of her home.

Some Helpful Suggestions to Use in Cooking Fish In baking or broiling fish do it quickâ€" ly to keep in the flavour, allowing from eighs to ten minutes per inch thickness of fish, with a temperature of 450 deâ€" grses to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Lon!:, slow cooking is not required since fish have little connective tissue requiring to be socftened. <cLower the temperaâ€" ture after the first ten minutes, if cooking a thick whole fish. If a dryâ€" meated variety of fish is used, sprinkl2 the outside with oil or cocking fat. as much as fiftsen minutes p:r pound if â€"a very sthick piece of fish is being used. Steamjng requires a longer time than boiling; turn very thick piecas if the fish is being stsamed. When usin!t frozen fish it is best to cook it while it is still frozen; otherwise, the flavourâ€" ing Jjuices will escape. Frozen fish requires slightly longer cooking time ‘‘han unfrozen fish. Here are two or three hints about cooking fish which have been suggested by cookery on the staff of the Dominion Department of Fisheries: Allow from eight to ten immutes a pound when boiling fish, increasing to A BIG BAKING SALE OP FLOU R A special price on such a fayâ€" ourite as Monarch is reason enough to buyâ€"Monarch has that enviable reputation for reâ€" sults that good cooks ciateâ€"save at this special price. 24 Ib. bag F 1b. cartions carton for THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO 23¢ 4A3¢ 29¢ 25¢ 23¢ 25¢ 19¢ 10c The president mentioned that all the money collected in Timmins is used here for V.O.N. work. Nothing is conâ€" ‘ributed to the administrative offices. The only expenses are the nurses‘ salâ€" arios. car expenses, nursing equipment and necessary incidentals. (Contnued from Page One) July Ilst, due to the work being alâ€" most trebled, a new nurse, Miss Eva Sherritt, was sent to the Timmins branch by Miss Smelie, National V.O.N. supervisor. Mr. Gillies further stated that on acâ€" count of the number of people in this community on relief and because many others were in poor circumstances, it is necessary to have financial assistance to carry on the work of the V.0O.N. In 1938 the town grant amounted to $1500 and there were donations from local organizations and individuals, who realize the worth of the service and who desire to share in this work. During the year 1938, the president continued, the averaze hours on duty for each of the two nurses, was 104 hours on week days and 74 hours on Sundays. ‘"This hardly seems possible and it is certainly not humane to work these everâ€"willing nurses to this exâ€" tent. Your executive has tried to get these nurses to take a day a week off for rest, and we have paid relief nurses to an amount exceeding $700. This was during the time of the nurses‘ holidays, and at other times when calls were so numsrous and urgent that it was impossible for them to handle the work without assistance." "It can readily be seen that it is imâ€" possible to carry on without injuring the health of our nurses," said Mr. Gilâ€" lies, in recommending that another nurse be added to the staff of the V.O.N. immediately. This, he said, would necessitate raising around $1700 in excess of the amounts granted durâ€" ing the year 1938. This niight be done partly, he said, by means of an increasâ€" ad grant from the town and by a subâ€" scription drive for funds for this worthy work. In closing Mr. Gillies expressed the thanks of the V.O.N. executive for the assistance given by the town council and by individuals, organizations and serâ€" vices throughout the community. He also thanksd the members of the exâ€" ecutive for their wholeâ€"hearted supâ€" port, and Miss Price and Miss Sherritt for their efficiency and zeal.

A practical and educational demonâ€" stration of their work in homes was givâ€" en by Miss Sherritt and Miss Kerr. This demonstration had touches of humour that greatly added to the interest of the presentation, and the sericus manâ€" ner in which the two "stars" performâ€" their roles was befitting of a oneâ€" act play. Another Nurse for V.O.N. Work The president introduced Miss Ferâ€" guson, district supervisor of V.O.N., who complimented the local V.O.N. nurses on their splendid work and commented on the growth of the V.ON. work in Timmins. This growth, she said, was cutstanding in the whole of Canada. Two thousand four hundred visits, said Miss Ferguson, had been calculatâ€" ed as the most number of visits one nurse could make in a year, but the nurses here, only two, had made 7,850 visits in the year 1938. She emphasized the heavy duty and the long cturs of the nurses, and added that Miss Price and Miss Sherritt are doinz their utâ€" most to render the V.O.N. the most appreciated service in this community. The long hours of work, and the large number of visits, Miss Ferguson added, proved the need of another nurse in the V.O.N. branch here. In speaking about the V.O.N. in genâ€" eral, Miss Ferguson stated that there were 88 branches of the V.O.N. in Canâ€" ada divided into five districts, while twelve new branches have been orâ€" ganized in the past year. Following Miss Ferguson‘s address, the meeting went on record in favour of a motion by Dr. McInnis, M.O.M., and seconded by Miss Keith, that a third permanent nurse be procured. The executive hope that the public will reâ€" spond when called upon to assist in the financing of this greatly needed further expenditure. ‘The election of officers resulted as follows: Honorary presidentâ€"Mr. Robert Dye.

Flag Flown at Haif Mast to Honour Pope Pope Pius XI Buried Yesâ€" terday in Rome in Accorâ€" dance with â€" Liturgical Rites. The flag on the post office here was flown at half mast yesterday. It was because Pope Pius XI, spiritual leader of millions of Catholics, was being buried"in Rome. The Pope, who ruled the church for seventeen years, was laid to rest in the crypt of St. Peter‘s Cathedral. many feet below the gorgeous basilica in which he received the homage of the people while he lived. Pope Pius was buried in accordance with the simple liturgical rites preâ€" scribed by the Church. Yet, withal, the rites allowed for splendid pomp and colorful ceremony. A triple coffin weighing half ‘a.ton enclosed the mortal remains of the Pope. Thirtyâ€"seven cardinals were presâ€" ent in the crypt to honour the man whose word on matters of faith and morals was law for Catholiecs all over the world. The ceremony before the burial, which was private, took place in the apsis of the cathedral, the space beâ€" tween the Papal altar beneath the dome and the great altar of the cathedral. At one o‘clock yesterday the doors of the cathedral, where the body has lain in state for several days while huge throngs filed by to pay homag®e, were closed and the funeral proceedings began. They were followed by burial in the crypt. Fire at Rouyn Hotel Two Suffering Burns Loss Estimated at Over $25,000.

Two persons were ‘injured, one seriously. More than 100 men and women, girls and boys who had. been attending a special Valentine dance left the hotel 25 minutes before the fire broke out. Loss was set by Fire Chief Thibeault at $25,000 to $30,000. Cause of the fire was unknown. Flames swept through the threeâ€" storey hotel shortly after 3 a.m. T‘wo guests jumped from secondâ€"storey winâ€" dows to safety. Several were carried down firemen‘s ladders.

Boisclaire, Montreal traveller, wWas awakened by a thumpon his door. He looked out and saw smoke pouring from a washroom opposite. He called the night clerk. Together they put it out. Policc Chief Turnbull said the blaze apparently started in a curtain. After the first blaze was extinguished, the fire department responded to anâ€" other call, which proved to be a false a‘arm. While the false alarm was beâ€" ing attended to, fire again broke out in the Rouanda Hotel. This time there was no stopping it. It started somewnere in the second floor. When firemen arrived smoke was pouring from secondâ€"floor. windows After the alarm sounded. guests, eight members of the staff and eight people who were in the lonby at the time, fled.

In turn, Mrs. Slater asks grandfather about the gold watch, and tells him how Mrs. Jordan had refused to have him in her home. Grandfather explains that he will leave his belongings to the person as whose home he is living and both families are eager to have him make his abode with them. But grandfather has a "cat in the bag," and invites his family to attend his wedding the folâ€" lowing Tuesday, when he will wed the widow of the Inn, "Ring of Bells." Terribly disappointed, the play ends as the two women upbraid their grandâ€" father for leaving them nothinz and marrying a strange woman. Ruth Halperin, who took the part of Mrs. Slater, portrayed that character in exceptionally fine style, and all othâ€" ers partaking were very well suited in their roles. Stage arrangements for this scene were mace by Hayward Moody. "The House of Twisty Windows," a tragedy by Pakington, was the outâ€" standing presentation Oof the evening, and the cast and Miss MacNamara, who directed the play, are to ibe comâ€" plimented on this fine portrayal. In her absence Derrick Moore (Jack tingle) is brought to the cell, and Heather realizes that this is her other cousin who bears the same name, but is not the man for whom the governâ€" ment is searching. This Derrick Moore is known to his younzy cousins as "Derry"‘ while the other Derrick Moore is "Dick." Derrick Moore tells them that he will be released in @ little while, and tries to comfort them in their despair at the fact that the real Derrick Moore has not been fodund to give them libâ€" erty. As in times long gone by, he tells them a fairy story about the house with the twisty windows. It tells of a man who prefers to look through twisâ€" ty windows for then there is always hope, while in plain glass there is alâ€" ways the same view. Before he leaves, Heather tells him of her love for him, and he confesses Shat he loves her although she is only nineâ€" teen years of age to his forty years. When Anne returns, she tells them that this Derrick Moore asked her to convince the officials that he was the man they were looking for, to give "Dick" an opportunity to escape from the country. Even as she tells them of the unselfish sacrifice of this brave man, they hear a shot as Derrick Moore meets death.

FEBRUARY 16TH, 1939 The final play, "Fat Kin‘y Melon and Princess Caraway," by A. Herbert, was a delightful fantasy of five scenes. In the first scene, Fat King Melon (Bruce Taylor), and Princess Caraway (Patricia King), arrive at the forest home of the Fairy Mumbse (Cora Amaâ€" dio‘, seeking advice in their love affair. The king wishes to know how he can reduce, and the princess wants to gain weight to be more like the king of whom she has heard but whom she has not seen since their bethrothal many vears ago. Fairy Mumbo advises each to walk and drink hot water, and tells the king to fight his own battles. In She second scene the king is seen bidding farswell to his mother (Rose Rabkin) and setting off for the home of the pringess with his aides (Bill Southâ€" aim Jack Dicker, and John Power). Next, the king and the princess, in disguise, meet in the forest, after the princess has been held up by a highâ€" wayman (Wilfred Roy). They continue on their journey together. The princess sadly bids farewell to the king as she embarks for her home, while the king continues on foot to visit his princess. He tells her that if she were not already ‘bethrothed he would wed her and she also is sorry that she is to wed King Melon. In the final scene, the king arrives at the home of the princess, who has padded her figure to add weight to her slender body. The king, who has lost weight, is terribly disappointed because his brideâ€"toâ€"be is fat, and his expresâ€" sion shows his disappointment. Neither is pleased with the other, and both wish they could find the beloved strangâ€" ers they learned to love during their travels. When the princess begins to weep she draws out the king‘s handkerchief which he had given her in the woods, and they realize each other‘s identity. The princess removes the padding, and both are happy in a fitting ending. Other characters in this play were "First Fairy," Helen Stock; "Second Fairy," Shirley McDivitt; "Old Woman," se Rabkin; "Sailors," Keéen Mason, Leslie Harting, Jorma Kalliokoski, Francis Carriere.
