In The Advance ten years ago:â€"~ "Those. who have the idea that the new Timmins post office would not b»e proceeded with this year are apparâ€" ently under a wrong impression. Eviâ€" dently it is the plan not only to go on with the construction this summer, but further it is the hope to complete the work before the end of the presâ€" ent year. This week it is iearned that Mr. Arch Gillies, of Timmins, has been appointed to supervise the work of construction as resident architect. He has instructions to push the work of construction along and to have the building all completed this year and ready for use. Mr. CGillies is busy at present on plans and specifications and it is understood that the actual work of construction will be takem up at once and the construction ofâ€"the buildâ€" ing rushed to completion." Word was received in town ten years ago*that Hon. Ernest Lapointe, Minâ€" ister of Justice for the Dominion, had granted a reprieve for John Ivanchuk, convicted in the early part of April of the murder of Inspector Harry Conâ€" stable at Cochrane in Octcber, 1926, and sentenced to be hanged on Friâ€" day, June 2l1st, 1929. The reprieve carried with it a stavy of the execution until July 19th. The news of repricve was a very decided surprise to thos» who had been watching the case. It was known that counsel for Ivanchuk had been in Ottawa interviewinrsg the Minister of Justice, but it was conâ€" sidered that the case against Ivanchuk was so complete that the Minister of Justice was not likely to interfere." Later, however, Ivanchuk was duly hanged at Hailleybury. In The Advance Schumacher news ten years ago: "Our fire hall was the scene of a unique and particularly inâ€" teresting social event on Wednesday afternoon, June 19, when Miss Agnes Roxbourgh, daughter if Mrs. J. Roxâ€" bourgh, Timmins, Ont., became the bride of Mr. Dan H. McKie a popular member of our local fire brigade, and son of Mr. and Mrs. W. McKie, Schnâ€" macher. Under the direction of Deâ€" putyâ€"Chief Arnott the hall had been artistically decorated by the firemen with evengreens and flowers, interâ€" woven with the blue and white colours of the brigade. Rev. J. D. Parks, Timâ€" mins, was the officiating clergyman.

"South Porcuâ€" pine will have about ten more good men with the Algonquin Rifles at the annual camp. The men from this part of the district will be in charge of Captain H. A. McDougall, of South Porcupine, the group from Timmins being under the charge of Lieut. Keith Stirling, of Timmins." ‘"Mayor Geo. S. Drew, and H. E. Montgomery, town clerk and treasurâ€" er," said The Advance ten years ago, "went to Toronto this week to interâ€" view Premier Ferguson and press the need for the immec<ts building of the extension of the T. N. O. Railâ€" way from Timmins to Kamiskotia. At Toronto the delegates were joined by Messrs A. F. Kenning, M.P.P., and G. W. Ecclestone, M.P.P., who presented them to the premier. The delegation had an interview with the premier on Tuesday of this week \nd added to the case as presented by the resoluâ€" tions passed a couple of weeks ago by the town council and the board of trade. No word had been received from the delegatss up to the time of going to press, further than that the premier had promised consideration of the facts and arguments advanced. Press despatches from Toronto sugâ€" gest that the delegation received a very careful hearing, the main point of difâ€" ference being the matter of the sugâ€" gestion by the Government that the Hollinger Mine guarantee against any loss on the new line up to $60,000.00 per year." A pretti' wedding was sclemnized in Timmins ten yvears ago by Rev. Fr. Therriault, when Nellie, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Cornell, Schuâ€" macher, was united in marriage to Reâ€" ginald, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Janes, of Timmins. The big bazaar put on ten years ago at the Timmins skating rink by the ladies of the St. Anthony‘s R.C. Church was a noteworthy success. 21 PINXE STREET N "TIMMINS Saturday, June 15th to Mr. and Mrs. wW. C. Roberts (nee Fern McCarthy), ‘ 58 Hemlock streetâ€"a daughter." "‘Mr. | R. L.

Smythe Carter, prominent business man of Toronto, being connected with the Ontario Publishing Company in that city, and District Governor or1 the Kiwanis Clubs for this district, paia an official visit ten years ago to the Timmins Kiwanis Club and was the speaker of the day at the weekly lunâ€" cheon at the Empire Hotel. In his address the District Governor took as his theme, the title "Living Kiwanis," and he made it very clear that a live Kiwanian living up to the principles and inspiration of Kiwanis was letâ€" ter citizen and a happier and more contented man than without the enâ€" couragement and incentive of the club. Large crowds attended the event each day, the Saturday crowd being esp*â€" cially large. On Saturday 2250 perâ€" sons paid their entry. Those who atâ€" tended the event found it most atâ€" tractive in every way, and the ‘adies in charge were complimented generally on the booths, the effective preparoâ€" tions made for the event and the capâ€" able way in which it was cearried through. The event had all the usual features of a baaar with many oriâ€" ginal touches that added to its success. In The Advance ten vears ago: "Jack Neilson, the talented youn:z: violinist from Timmins, who was only «welve years old when he went first to take special courses of studyv in music at the Hambourg Conservatory of Music in Toronto, is making the progress tha; his friends and admirers here would expect. This summer he will play the violin in a noted svmphony orchestra The United Church at Timmins was the scene of a very pretty wedding ten years ago when Miss Lillian Adelia oldest daughter of Mrs. Ida Isnor and the late Norman Isnor, became the bride of Mr. Joseph Edward Baxter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Baxter, Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Rev. J .. D. Parks officiated. Among the local itéems in The Adâ€" vance ten years ago were: "Bornâ€"In Timmins, Ont.. on Wednesday, June 19th, 1929, to Mr. and Mrs. D.

Miss Garbut will spend a couple of months here the guest of her sister, Mrs. Rinn."‘ "There will be very genâ€" eral regret at the fact that at the end of this school term Mr. Boyce, assistâ€" ant principal of the Central public school, will leave here. Mr. Boyce is taking the principalship of the Schuâ€" macher public school in succession to Mr. J. A. Bush. During his stay in town Mr. Boyce has done exceptionally fine work here and his influence Over the boys under his care has been very helpful indeed." "Rev. J. D.

Gordon D. Conant, KC., Attorneyâ€"General of Ontario, stated that he is opposed to any more government interference with life inâ€" surancs or any other business than is absolutely necessary o protect the weak and the individual who, standing alons, cannct protect himself. Sspeaking at the annual dinner Oof the Canadian Life Insurance Céficeors Association at Toronto, Mr. Conani pointed out that life insurance preâ€" sents to governments the responsitoility cf seeing that so far as governments can favourably or adversely affect them, the securities in which their funds are invested shall ‘be unimpaired. Referâ€" ring to the fact that the provinte Ontario has not increased the rate of taxation on life insurance premiums, as has been done in otherâ€"provinces, he stated that the province has recognized that a tax on life insurance premiums is a tax on thrift, and that thrift is "the last thing that should be taxed or the thing that should ‘be taxed the least." Refers to Vital Importance of Life Insurance. "How vital life insurance is to the public of this country," Mr. Conant continued, "is further indicated by the fact that business in force in Ontario alone amounts to over three dollars. This amount represents some 2,800,.000 policies with the averag> policyholder carrying less than $2,000 insurance. These very figures, howâ€" ever, impose tremendous responsibilitics upon the insurance companies, and perhaps to‘a lesser degree, on the deâ€" partment of insurance and governâ€" ments. These monies in the hands of insurance compaies are a trust repreâ€" senting to many people their very life blood .and ~to their dependéents the necessities ‘of life and the differenc»s between want and comparative comâ€" petency. Your government is most anxious that the life insurance business shall prosper and continue to serve increasingly and even more effectively the needs of our people for security and provision in the years to come for the assured and his dependents "wW> constantly hesr complaints about ths number + we have hensible all governme agree that we have tCc ment in Canada.

"Let us spend less time berating governments, but rather let us undergo a little introspection and inquire of ourâ€" selves as to whethner we do not ask too much of governments. . Governments have no magical method of obtaining revenues, which are derived solely and entirely from the taxpayer. When the taxpayer demands expenditures for highways, for social services or whatâ€" ever it may be, it must come out of the taxpayer himself. . Under our demsoâ€" cratic system, the government orly reflects the views and demands of the people, so the fault lies not with govâ€" ernments as institutions or ucsgregates of officials, but with curselves.

That would be futile because we would only be putting sther men out of employâ€" menrt. Should the government underâ€" take vast public works for the sake of employing labour? Well, experience has shown that with the cost of maâ€" terials, administration, technical serâ€" vices and all the incidentals, it costs at least $10 a day to employ a man in such public works. On this basis the expenditure would be so colossai that "When we see what has been AaAccomâ€" plished in Great Britain, after proâ€" phesies of the dire consequences that would follow if she went off the gold standard, and what they appear to be achieving in Germany with little botâ€" ter than flat money, it is rash for one to dogmatize. Nevertheless, I am inâ€" clined to agree with the Minister of Fnance, Honourable Mr. Dunning, that inflation can only mean bitter experiâ€" ences for the future. This would cerâ€" tainly apply particularly and most disâ€" astrously to the holders of life insurâ€" ance polisies. It would be a catastrophe indsed if by inflation we were to desâ€" troy Oor substantially impair the reâ€" turns to policyholcers built up on prEâ€" mirms under one standard or ratio, cnly to have the benefits largely wiped cut under an inflationary system.
