e PCO Highlights of Second Evening of the Grand National Festival The secondt evening of the Grand National Festival took place at the MciIintyre Arena on Friday evening, with about four houndred people in attendance, and another varied and interesting programme presented by representatives of some of the Nationâ€" alities of this district, As is explained in the account of the programme on Thursday evening (pubâ€" lished elsewhere in this issue), the Festival was arranged with the purâ€" pose of bringing together the songs, music and dances of the different naâ€" tionalities Groups were presented on the two programmes on Thursday and Friday.. On Saturday evening each group presented a portion of its proâ€" gramme, the judces making their decisions on these two nights of the Festival and announcing the winners on Saturday evening. The banZis in attendance were the Timmins Citizens‘ Barrd and the Lions Boys‘ Band, under the direction of Bandmaster F. J. Wolno, which opened the programme with the playing of "O, Canada," and another rousing band selection, which was thoroughly enâ€" joyed by the audience. In a gathering of this type, band music seems to make an especially great hit, every person in the audience wishing to keep time to the steady beat of the instruments, or to get up and march around the building with steady step and careâ€" free stride, Outstanding Features Included Singing and Accordion Numbers by Italian Group, Dancing by Polish Group, Dances by Sons of England Group, Dances by Rouâ€" manian Group and Band Selections. The Italianâ€"Canadian group was the first of the nationalitiee to appear on the Programme Friday evening, Miss Cora Amadio, wellâ€"known and talented young â€" singer appearing as sol®st. Cora, who has appeared at many 1 events held by the Timmins High and { Vocational Schools, where she is a stuâ€" dent, won even more admirers with her splendid singing, beautifully renâ€" dering "Valse de Concert" accompan-l ied at the piano by Mrs. C. Wilkins, and other Italian selections,, accomâ€" panied by Mr. Gino Mcrescotti on the accordion. Her accompanist then took | the spotlight, bringing loud applause with several accordian solos, typically Italian in their soft yet clear tones, and making a definite appeal to every | person in the arena. | A gentleman substituted for one of \ the group and accompanied by Mrs Wilkins at the piano sang ‘"Rose of Tralee," and Miss Helen Guidolin pleasinnly sang two solo selections. The executive for the Sons of Engâ€" jland group included Mr. F. Kitcher, president; Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson, comâ€" mittee; Mrs. Harold Burt, dancing inâ€" structor and Mrs. J. Wilkins, pianist. Lead by three very young ladies, the twentyâ€"four little dancers marched around the arena, making a very at~â€" tractive picture in their white costumes. The leaders of the group wore white sailor costumes, while all the little ladies who were taking part in the Mayâ€" I pole dance were attired in white or-‘ ganza frocks, made identically with frilled skirts and shortâ€"sleevedâ€"blouse éffect tops. The leaders carried one large Union Jack and. two smaller ahes and their foilowers wore white frilled skirts and shortâ€"si¢evedâ€"Dniouse éffect tops. The leaders carried one large Union Jack and. two smaller ones, and their foilowers wore white satin banners bearing the blue printed word "Englard", while each had a hairdress of red roseâ€"buds. After parading around the arena, the little ladies formed a circle around the Maypole, which had been erected at one end of the arena. This Maypole carrie@ numerous red and white streamers, and was topped with red and white flowers. Each dancer pickâ€" edâ€"up one of the streamers, and after singinmz "Rule Britannia", danced in perfect formation around the Maypole. They would weave in and out, but not me single mistake was made. As they progressed, the streamers tied around the pole, making a pattern of numerâ€" ous little red and white checks. If ane mistake had been made by the dancers, five hundred knots would have been formed in the streamers.

The "Hora" dance by George Majerâ€" an, Anabella Clancy and Bettie Ridâ€" dell, was equally interesting, and Myrs. Flizabeth Stefuric made a great hit with the singing of a solo selection.

The "Polish Mazâ€" urca‘" conducted by Mr. J. Sikora, was a series of clever dance steps, comâ€" bined into a quick rythm that brought loud applause from the audience. The dancers were John Sikora and Bessic lik, Henry Korosky and Mary Stenclik, John Paterek and Theo Miâ€" chalak. and John Tarka and Kay Vitâ€" kusie. Their vivid national costumes with appropriate headdress won much complimentary comment, and their lithe and supple dancing was a pleasure to watch, while the gay snap with which the men dancers especially gave the number made a particularly big The "Pot Pourri of National Songs" by the and, was ideally suited to the occasion, and was well played by the band. hit _"‘God Save the King" brought the programme to a close.

After being used for car storage only and no longer required by the Canadian National Railways, the rails were raised in 1935 and recantly the land was acquired by the Provinâ€" cial Government as part of the highâ€" way route. The Canadian National main line to Toronto leaves Montreal over a right of way established in 1846 when the Montreal and Lachine Railâ€" road was built to "greatly contribute to the facility of intercourse between Upper and Lower Canada."

One and fifty years ago last July 14, the Bastille, stronghold of the French monarchy, fell before angry revolutionary mobs. The British Daily Telegraph and Morning Post had its correspondent on the spot. On the 150th anniversary a week ago Friday it reprinter his version of the scene. It was in part: The nation is under the "military protection" of Germany. The general setâ€"up of what is obviously meant to appear to ‘be a democratie form of government looks like something conâ€" ceived by ‘Gilbert and Sullivan "in one of their more ironic moments. "The Bastille has been wholly deâ€" molished. "The Governor of the Bastille was seized his right hand was first cut off, then his head. Decent of Hitler to allow God‘s name to be used before his. "All of the gaols are open and the prisoners have joined with the populace. "Many of the Nobility of the Court Party have been killed, and their houses demolished." In a followâ€"up the next day the Post‘s correspondent said:"The first acts of the revolt naturally took place among the lowest of the populace. The French Guards unanimously joined the citizens and a set of more noble, orderly and more Gdetermined men I never saw. Placards were publicly stuck up by well known persons setting a price on the heads of the Queen, the Comte D‘Artois, the Poliznacs and others..." Describing a tense moment when the Governor of the Bastille surrendered to 20,000 citizens headed by the French Guard, the correspondent said: "The great and important scene now folâ€" lowed. The Governor, the Prince, the Fort Major and Officer were conveyed to the Hotel de Ville and after a short trial, M. DeLaunay and the Major were executed by first shooting and then cutting off their heads." Any clearly defined antiâ€"British acâ€" tion on the part of Japan should be immediately followed by wholesale deâ€" portation of all Japanese settlers in Canada, Colonel George A. Drew, Onâ€" tario Conservative Leader, is reported to have said in a speech at Midland. "We ean get along very well without them," said Colonel Drew, ‘"The Japanâ€" ese in Canada have added nothing to Canadian life. They certainly add nothing to Canadian unity. ... "Continued the Colonel: ‘"We need not suggest that we have any personal animosity against their people but it is time for us to say in clear and underâ€" standable terms to the Japanese in Canada and to the Japanese igovernâ€" ment in Tokyo that if they declare a definite course of antagonism to British people, then ‘we shall be obliged to order all of the Japanese in Canada to leave our country." Hot headed Colonel Drew made a lot of other statements â€" none of them diplomatic. None of them were agesignâ€" ed to or would have the effect of proâ€" moting any sort of friendly feeling beâ€" tween Britain and Japan, now conferâ€" ring to find some sort of a basis for peaceful settlement of the question of foreign occupation of China. Canadians have scant sympathy with Japan. For that matter Chamberlain had scant sympathy with Germany at the time of the Munich and other crisesâ€"but if he had used such terms as Colonel Drew seems to favour it is quite likely that we would be at war now. Colonel Drew must be anticipating an election. North Bay Nugget:â€"A Detroit houseâ€" wife, home from New York, says "Wait until T take off my shoes and I‘ll tell vyou about the fair."

The crand march of all organizations was a special feature that won round after round of applause and was a colourful spectacle alone worth the price of adâ€" mission. Another big special was the solo specialty by Miss Claire Pluctt,] whose simply wonderful acrobatic work to music was one of the most graceful events of the evening.

There is a nickel formation some 240 feet north of the galena. The main zone is 240 feet wide. Mr. Reid quotes Dr. Ellsworth as saying that the formation should carry platinum and gold. The quartz vein is made up of seven or eight of the most prevalent associates of gold and Mr. Reid considers this most significient, even though assays so far have been low in gold.
