Montreal, July 5.â€"When Chef Tomâ€" my Gear was put in charge of the Canadian National RailWays dining car on the train which conveyed Their Majesties, Kinz George VI and Queen Elizabeth, across Canada and back and down to the United States, the news somehow got into the homeâ€"town paâ€" pers. Tommy hails originally from Shelburne, Nova Scotia. On the far side of the continent, in a place in California called Millvalley, Mrs. Annie McKenzie read the news. Nova Scotia is ‘back home" to her, too, and she takes the Yarmouth paper to keep in touch. The result was thai Tommy got a telegram from a sister he hadn‘t heard of for a quarter of a century. He didn‘t even know she was in Caliâ€" fonia. The wire was delivered to him when the Royal Train was in Halifax.

Discussion by the council at its meetâ€" ing on Monday of whether or not Roval Fournier would bez: ranted a licence to run a public hall on the lot at the eastern extemity of the Town, over Mountjoy Creek, evokes a surprising amount of terpsichorean lore from the members of Council, They proved themselves no strangers to the old fashioned perhaps but very popular square dance, not unfamiliar with the modified forms of present day dancing such as the fox trot and the waltz, and even conversant with th» terminology of "swing". Police Inspector Olson said that he knew Fournier and always found him to be a reputable citizen and a gentleâ€" man. Still, he was inclined to believe that a dance hall in that section of the town would attract a rough crowd and that only cheap and rough dances could be run there. He favoured refusal of the application. "Well," said councillor Homer Gauâ€" their, "it would keep that class of people in one place. Down ther it would be "Go to the left and go to the right and tamarack her down on the old pine floor." Gerald D. O‘Meara Named Candidate for Temiskaming “What." said councillor McNeil with a surprised look on his face, "no jitterâ€" bugs?" The matter was finally deferred. Perhaps the Town Fathers will look into the matter of square dance techâ€" nique as opposed to "jive" and "rug cutting." Overwhelming Choice of Conservative Convention. Engleheart, July 6â€"(Special to The Advance)â€"The expected happened at the convention of the Conservative party at Engleheart yesterday afterâ€" noon, when an enthusiastic gathering chose Gerald D. O‘Meara, Kirkland Lake lawyer who is a former reeve of Teck township, to contest Temiskamâ€" ing in the party interest at the forthâ€" coming Dominion general election. Mr O‘Meara carried the convention on the only ballot taken, unofficially being reâ€" ported as havimz secured all but 21 af the 258 votes cast, the balance being split between George Mitchell, K C., of Kirkland Lake, and David C. Ross, of Haileybury, who also contested the gaâ€" thering. In announcing the result, the chairâ€" man, John Hough, of Charlton, merely said Mr. O‘Meara "has such a predomâ€" inance of votes that I need not mention the number." In all, six names were submitted to the meeting, but three of the nominees, Dr. E. F. Armstrong, of Cobalt, former M. P. for the riding, Captain Thomas Magladery, of New Liskeard and oneâ€"time M.P.P. for Temâ€" iskaming and Dr. J. A. H Joyal, of Haileybury, all withdrew, although it had been announced previously pr Joyal would allow his name to go forâ€" ward. Mr. O‘Meara, who has practised law in Kirkland Lake since 1922â€"he movâ€" ed north then from North Bay, where he had first established himself two years beforeâ€"told the convention he would do his utmost "to deserve you! confidence." All nominees were askâ€" ed to pledize themselves to a resolution prepared by Cobalt asking the successâ€" ful candidate, if elected, to take steps to have legislation introduced to give aid the silver mining industry, and on this point Mr. O‘Meara expressed his sympathy and support. The meeting was held in the theatre building, and the heat was so intense speeches were cut short, Gordon Grayâ€" don, MP. for Peel and Hon. W. A. Gorâ€" don, K.C., confining tehmselves to brief addresses to the delegates on hand. At the outset of the meeting, the delegates unanimously went on record as givâ€" ing "hearty and sincere support"‘ to Dr. R. J. Manion, Dominion leader, in the forthcominz campaign, and as being "in hearty accord" with the party platâ€" form â€" Nominees were each allowed ten iminutes in which to address the gathering, and in the time at his disâ€" posal Captain Magladery said he was retiring from politics so far as this convention is concerned, and he thanked supporters for their help in the last provincial fizht. He intimaâ€" ted also that the successful candidate then "did not receive a majority of the legal votes" cast at the polis. Mr Ross spoke briefly on the railway proâ€" blem,, saying he expected to see more railways built in the future, and Mr, Mitchell dealt with unemployment and also the silver question. Mr. OMeara, described by his proâ€" poser, Dr. R. J. Neelands, as of: "Cabâ€" inest timber," asked for a fighting orâ€" ganization behind him and said he was looking forward for voluntary finâ€" ancial support, as distinct from what he termed "the diszraceful spectacle" in this riding of money bags behind certain candidate. He promised to do nothing at Ottawa "that will betray the trust reposed in me.‘ Dr. Armâ€" strong spoke of the Cobalt resolution, which had asked that the "candidate pledge himself to do all in is power to introduce legislation by which the Canadian government would purchase newlyâ€"mined Canadian silver at a fixâ€" ed price, sufficient to keep in operaâ€" tion Canadian silver mines and thus keep the silver industry alive."

The matter, which has been the source of much discussion, was precipitated on Monday when Councillor Gauthier asked the Mayor why he made a recent statement to the effect that there would be no more meetings between the Council and the druggists. Organization of drug store employees was seen by the Mayor and Counciliors Armstrong and McCabe as the only way to enforce shorter hours of employment in those businesses at a meeting of the council on Monday evening. "What I said," corrected the Mayor, "was that, so far as I was concerned, there would be no more meetings. We can‘t take on the business of the local pharmaceutical society and enforce their laws. It seems hopeless to try and negotiate with them." "Well," said Councillor Gauthier, "They are still wide open selling hardâ€" ware on Sundays. We would have the Lords‘ Day Inspector come right here and settle the matter." What, asked the Mayor, was the pubâ€" lic going to say when it could not buy cigarettes or newspapers on Sunday. The public wouldn‘t stand for it. The idea, said Councillor Armstrong, was to limit the hours of work of drug employees. It was a difficult problem and the only solution seemed to be for members of the Council to get out and organize the employees and have them set up their code. "Yes," said the Mayor, "it is up to them to take the initiative." "The bakers and carpenters got what they wanted. It is up to us to get out and organize," sald Councillor McCabe.
