The St. John Ambulance Brigade held a social evening in the Hollinger hall ten years ago to show honour and appreciation to two valuable members who were leaving Timmins. The two members so honoured were S. Michinâ€" son and W. Hog!», both of whom had given excellent service in S.J.A.B. work. Mr. Michinson was going to England and Mr. Hogg was taking up residence in Toronto. Mr. Michinson and Mr. Hogg were each presented with a solid leather suit case as a mark of the appreciation of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. Dr. H. H. Moore made the presentations in his usual effective way, and there were many good words for the interest and ability of Messrs. Miâ€" chinson and Hogg in the S. J. A. B. work. # The second annual Hallowe‘en event The feature proved mast amusing and’ under the auspices of the Timmins|all were so interested and amused by | Kiwanis Club was held on the cyanlde't:he yarns told that no one was able ten years ago and literally attracted | afterwards to tell which was the prizeâ€" thousands.

A special centre of interest was ' Alton, of ITroquois Falls, left on Sunday the immense bonfire on the cyanide,| for Toronto, where he has accepted a ‘This bonnre' which was made by the pasition." "Miss A. Monck has taken buildir» of a square of railroad ties| a position with the Ingersollâ€"Rand Co. with ‘the central space filled with old boxes and all sorts of waste material, the whole scaked with oil and gasoline, lit up the whole neighbourhood. The reflection of this immense fire could te seen all over the district. More than ane man hurried down town from the hill in the belief that the glare he saw must be some biz building in flames. It was only a real Hallowe‘en bonfire, howevar. A couple of town firemen were on hand from the time it was lit, to see that by no possible chance should it be anything but a bonfire. Ten years ago some bold thief stole a calf from a dairyman west of the town. The calf was taken towards town but in the flats near Dalton‘s bridge the thief or thieves stopped near the side of the road and butchered the animal in apparently approved style. All this was deduced from the signs left along the route. There had been a snowlall during the evenin> and it was easy to reconstruct the proceedings from the tracks and marks. As the loss of the calf was not reported until the following day there was unfortunately not the same opportunity for the police to follow the tracks away from where the calf had bsen butchered. The dairyman, of course, had not disâ€" covered his loss until the morning and though he had made prompt report the thief or thieves had the advantage of other tracks being made along the roads by honest people on their way to and from work. at Kirkland Lake."

With the thought of the fatality in mind, there was fear that another serious azcident might have happened. This was fortunately not the case, though the escape was a narrow enough. J¢hn Lehto, while driving from Schumacher to Timmins, turned out too far in meeting a wagon and his car slewed into the fence erecâ€" ted there. The collision brocke off the posts but the cable held and prevented the car from tumblin‘» down the emâ€" bankment. A section of about sixty feet of the fenting was damaged but the strength of the cable heM the car from going over the bank." One of the special featuers at the regular weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis Club ten years ago in the Empire hotel was the storyâ€"telling contest. Members of the club told a bunch of stories, some new, some old, but all pretty good. The marriaze was solemnized on Wednesday, Oct. 30th, 1929, of Miss Hannah Stewart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Stewart, of Timmins, to Mr. Moise Daigneault, also of this town. Miss Dubise was the bridesmaia and the groom was supported by Mr. Charâ€" tier, of Timmins. ‘The New Empire theatre was well filled for the second of the indoor band concserts for the season, ten years ago.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER oTH, 1938 Shelling The question most often and insisâ€" tently asked of old soldiers by civilians is: "What was shelling like?" It is a hard question to answer. One way of replying is to say that the troops were never satisfied until ithey had heard or experienced shellfiire and then they were never content until they could get some place where thers was none. The writer distinctly recalls his own initial curicosity in ‘the matter and the procmptness and completeness with ‘which it was satisfied. : The fir:s reaction to shelling is a feeling of incredulity. It seems imposâ€" sinlse to the new soldier ‘t‘hat men should allow such a thinz. A hurtling, invisible mass of metal arriving by air and then bursting with an incredible noise, smoke and eruption is a shock to ‘the uninitiated which he never ‘completely forge‘ts, The first impression left with the recruit is that scmeone is driving an invisible locoâ€" motive over him at high spoed and then wrecking i} cn his wishbone. Shelling creates the fesling in (the raw infantryman that he is utterly helpless. He is astonished at the nonâ€" Oopen warfare or a general attack was something else again. Shells in the cpen were usually pretty bad medicine, particulariy so if the targets were visible to the copposing artillery, Yet, in spite of the fire, the fury and the noise that shelling madeâ€"part of the effect was psychologicalâ€"â€"the most casualties were suffered from machine tun and rifle fire. When a machine was sweeping the field it was far more devastating than a barrage of gunfire. The whispering, cracking bullets that sped low over the ground could not be dodged and when they hit they had the blow of a heavy hammer, knockâ€" ing the soldier flat. W. J. Gorman, who writes that alwaysâ€"interesting column, "Grab Samples," for The Northern Miner, in a recent issue gives a graphic descripâ€" ticn from experience and memory of wha‘t it feels like to be "shelled" in war. He served in the last war and so knows his subject, and he certainly knows how to write about anything that interests him. Here is his desâ€" cription :â€" rebuilt and new duckboards instailed but apart from that there was little harm é«one. not urcommon to see the front line men turn and climb up on the parados to note where ‘the explesions took place. It was a grim gratification to them to see the rear lines getting a dose of hot metal. In ‘trench warfare shellingz was not particularly dankerous, on account of the manner in which the trenches were built with traverses and bays. The infantry could and did move about so that the shelling of a particular secstor usually was fruitless after the first few missiles had arrived; there was nobody there to get hurt. It was annoying, of course, becamse the parapet had to be raw lmnlantryman Tthat nhne is uUttrly helpless. He is astonished at the nonâ€" chalance of the oldtimer who calmly takes ithe whole thing in his stride. Actually what has happened is that the experienced soldier has been Msâ€" tening conscicously or unconsciously to the arrivir}; missile and has guaged its flight with great accuracy. If he figures Ithat it is to be a close one he will move with plenty of promptitude. But if he has it doped out as a rather distant hit he pays no more attenition. To those who have not experienced shellfire it seems incredible that the experienced soldier can tell where a shell is going to land. But it becomes secsond nature in a short time. It was There were many kinds of shells. The ordinary field gun projectile was not much respected or feared. It arâ€" rival was telq@raphed well in advanvce by its whistle; the speed of the shell was not as great as that of sound. But nava} gun shells were something else again. The boys called them, for some mysterious reason, "rubber heels"; they arrived before the sound and they caught many a man napping with their terrific speed and their fiat trajectory. They were really not very effective excent for breaking down walls or "Messirs. Geo. Reid and F. Leale, of Kirkland Lake, visited Timmins friends last week." "Misses Dorothy and Roma Porter returned last week from an exâ€" tended visit to relatives at Vancouver, B.C." ‘Mrs. Alexander returned last week from an extended visit to friends and relatives in the south." ‘"Mr. G. 8. Lowe left on Sunday for Toronto to be present at the funeral of his broâ€" therâ€"inâ€"law, who died last week in New York." The large calibre shel was another unwelcome customer but was seldom heard in the front lines. It could be heard cocming from afar, high in the air and rumblin/|» along like a thousand kids hollering down a thousand rain barrels, When it landed it really blew things about, deaving a huge «crater. It was known as ithe "coal box" and when such shells were ariving thre was the hint of heavy pressure on the {front. The enemy used ithis shell to destroy roads, railway lines and bridges, as well as supply dumps. buildings and ‘they could not hit : trenmth accidentally but they dis not acost trus ito form:. The trench mortar shell was another bad egz but it jhad characteristics which made it fairly easy to doilze. It was projected at a steep angle hish into the air, where it came almost to a point of rest at the top of its trajecâ€" tory, ithen ‘turned and plunged almost straight down. It could be seen as it turned and the troops had time to gat cut from undesr. It was a demolition bomb and céentainly tore up the trenâ€" ches beautifully. The boys called it the "Flying (Pig" because of its resemâ€" blance in the air to that animal. The Germans «did nct use muâ€"ch shrapnel, the type of shell that bursts in the air and sprays bullets downwards in a con pattern like a watering can. The British, on the other hand, used a lot of this kind for some reason or cther ‘whicth was nc‘t clear to the inâ€" fantry on our side. The troops did not consider them to be very effective.
