T4a4masy a® i Special reference was made in The Advance of July 16th, 1919, to the athâ€" letic grounds then being fixed up by the Hollinger Mine for the use of the people of the town. The Hollinger not only put the grounds in shape for f00tâ€" ball, baseball and other sports, but also erected a broad fence around the property at a cost of some $1700 for this one item alone. In referring to the matter at the time, The Advance said:"Special interest has been taken by the Hollinger in the improvement of the grounds, Mr. Brigham, the general manager, giving particularly sympathâ€" etic attention to the good work. Timâ€" mins will have reason to be proud of its athlectic grounds.

At a meeting held at the MciIntyre Porcuâ€" pine offices on July 11th, the Hollinger, McIntyre, Dome, Davidson and Porcuâ€" pine Crown were represented, while Meéessrs.

The following was the list of Continâ€" uation School promotions for 1919 as forwarded by Miss Mona Brown, prinâ€" cipal of the Timmins Continuation school, who was then at her home in New Liseard for the vacation period :â€" Form 1 to 11 â€" Honoursâ€"Merle Todâ€" hunter, Ellen Hakala, Hildreth Auer, Pass â€" Edla Simms, Ruby Hawley and Charles Jeommett. The latter name marked with a star to indicate that Charles had made the total but had failed in Latin and French. At the regular council meeting twenâ€" ty years ago the town tax rate was set at 36 mills for public school and 37 for separate school supporters. The previous year th> rate was one mill less. The debenture and general rate for 1919 was 17 mills At the same council meeting a byâ€"law was passed appointing Messrs. Sutcliffe and N:eâ€" lands as town engineers in charge if the construction of the waTerâ€"extenâ€" sions and the sewers, the encineers to receive 8 per cont of the contract price as their fees, this percentage to cover all the work done by the engineers preâ€" vious to the byâ€"law in regard to making of plans, specifications, etec. The counâ€" cil unanimously passed a resolution exâ€" pressing the deep appreciation of the town for the noble services of Sister Gregory, who was in charge of the hospital work at the time of the inâ€" fiuenza epidemic, and the clerk was inâ€" structed to procure some suitable gift to be given as a token of the town‘s gratitude for the services so unselfishly given. The other nurses and sisters, who had given such timely and unâ€" selfish services were all suitably recogâ€" nized previously by the council. The town buildimz byâ€"law was again disâ€" cussed, but no direct action taken. One item from the report of the council meeting is of such timely interest at the present moment when effort is beâ€" ing made to secure a deed for the cemâ€" etery property, that the item is reâ€" produced herswith verbatim: â€" "As there had been several requests for a more conveniently located public cemâ€" etery, the ‘clerk was authorized to take up the matter with the Rev, Fr. Therâ€" riault with a view to securing ground for a cemetery." The clearing of cerâ€" tain lands to the north of the town was brought to the attention of the ecsuncil by a communication read by the clerk. The land referred to should have been cleared according to law beâ€" fore May 15th. The chief fire ranger Irmad followed the necessary procedure in the matter and pointed out how after due notice the town could proceed to clear up the land, collecting the costs CEDAR ST.â€"â€"Just North of Third 1 8 O O TCO RESERVE A Telephone ALL NEW CAKS Our Fleet is at Y our Service Bruce iCabot 59 Fourth Ave. Timmins, Ont. â€" vaACATION SALE !

The question was turned over to the mayor and Councillons Braâ€" zeau and Fog:® to deal with. In an editorial article in its last isâ€" sue The Haileyburian â€" says:â€"Ther2 may be a chance for the North Country in the present movement of Europgan capital to the western world, which we read about in the daily papers of reâ€" cent date. It is disclosed that many millions of dollars are finding their way into Canada for the establishing of new industries, by people from the European countries who have been drivicn from their home land or have found it advisable to leave before they lose everything. One report said that there had been 25 millions of new capâ€" ital invested in Canada in a matter of a few months from these sources. The Porcupine Advance, always alive to Northern opportunities, suggests that this might be a good time to go further than the proposal of the T. N. O. Railway, under Chairman Mac "ang, for developing the lignite fields north of Cochrane, and to try to induce outâ€" side capital to take a hand in developâ€" ing the china clay and gypsum deposits in the same area. Thern> are pottery exports of Czechoslovakia who have been deprived of their enterpriss by the ‘rapacity of the Huns," The Adâ€" vance says, and some of these might easily be attracted to Northern Ontario. Already the federal government has eased off in th» immigration regulations to allow some experts to enter the country in connection with another enterprise, and it seems reasonable to sxpect that the same would be done if cutside people were attracted by the china clay possibilities, More diversiâ€" fied industries in the North would be welcomed â€" and every encouragement should be offered."

The whole problem changes, howevâ€" er, when it is found that the bulletin is an arrangement for "wholeâ€"length plate glass mirrors" When the "looker" and the "lookee" happens to be the same person, the appreciation and satisfaction in the look is mutual. Men, and women too, look into a mirror as if they thought they were pretty hot stuffâ€"and it is a miracle that most of us can look into a mirâ€" ror without feeling very, very sad. Vanity is a wonderful thing. Thomas Binnie, young university graduate from the west, came to us with a problem yesterday. Infantile paralysis left Mr. Binnise with an impediment in his speech and the necessity of writing with his left hand. His problem was how to convince business men that men with slight physical disailities can be an asset to business organization, It is a real problem. Small volume of business and experienced men withâ€" out jobs are two strokes on the young fellow looking for a job before he kets to see the boss. A physical disability adds the third strike before he has a chance to swing into action. Mr. Binnie pointed out that every man with a physical disability was faced with the problem of someway getting part that first impression that weighed so heavily against him., He pointed out that in order to overâ€" come physical handicaps, these men have had to persevere in the face of heavy odds and this very quality should make them a success in the business world. He said they were usually willing to accept any kind of a job and any kind of remuneration, just for a chance to prove they could be BACHELORKR CIGARS dual purpose 100% Havana Filler Corner Spruce St. and Third Avenue, Timmins _ Phone 324 * % CCC CCC * * * *‘ * * S t 4t | CLEAN ROOMSâ€"BY DAY OR WEEK _ | valuable men if they once got estabâ€" lished The problem was to convince people to give them a chance despite their handicap. § We didn‘t know the answer but we are willing to admit that these peoâ€" ple have more of what it takes in the way of that little fourâ€"letter Angloâ€" Saxon word than some of the rest of usâ€"and we would remind businessmen that physical defects that are so painâ€" fully obvious are often not as imporâ€" tant as mental defects that do not show up so much on first sight.
