Twenty years ago the condition of Jazk MacLean, who was in Toronto for special surgical and medical treatâ€" ment was sne of the spezial matters of interest here, Jack being one of the most popular citizens of the town and: district. The Advance made referenâ€" ces, the following being among the parâ€" arraphs:â€" ‘"Writing to Fire Chief Borland from Toront3 General Hospitâ€" al in response to a request from Mr. J. D. MacLkean, deputy fire chief, one of the nurses says:â€"‘‘"The operaticn was performed on Thursday, Ost.30th. â€" It was a very sgrious major operation and he has suffered severe pain, since, but his condition is very favourable and he hopes to be able to write some time There was sad notes to o2 made as well as plcasing ones, as may be seen from this paragraph from The Porcuâ€" pine Advance of Nov. 12th, 1919:â€""On Thursday last the home of Mr. Sanâ€" ford Gardiner at Swastika was desâ€" troyed by fire and the baby boy of the household aged 1 year and 8 months, : perished in the flames. Mrs. Gardner left the house for a short time on an errand, and when returning home she met her five year old son ssme disâ€" tance from the house, the little fellow excitedly telling his mother that their house was cn fire.

Later the body of the baby boy was found amonz the ruins of the surned house. - Reference was made twenty years alzo to the progress of the Victory Loan campaign, of 1919. In the first week over seventy per cent of the whole disâ€" trict‘s objective was reached. Timmins however made a still more noteworthy rezord, making 141 per cent of its toâ€" jective, but Schumacher did even betâ€" ter than that, reaching 155 per cent of its objertive.

Ansther decisin was that qualified players had the right to si.n at any time during the season, tut signing with more than qne chio withâ€" out due release would disqualify the player. Players partisipating in one or more games could not transfer to another team in the league without the unanimcus consent of the exccutive. The official trophy for the league was to be the Dickson cup. There was also special activity in regard to the lc:al: hockey team. ‘The Timmins Hockey Club was duly câ€"ganized twenty years ago.. The story cf the organization was: told in the Advance Nov. 12th, 1919, as follows:â€"‘"‘There was a wellâ€"attended. meeting this week of the Timmins Hockey fans to or‘:anize for this seaâ€" son. W. M. Widdifield was voted to teh chair to preside over the meeting, and H. W. Hooker was appointed secâ€" retary pro tem.

"You could call all night," says Ben, "but the moose would only answer Nc:jody Homg." ‘"Well you just see and hear and be convinced," persisted ‘Art.

Charged with Liying on the Avails of Prostitution One might imagine that the idea of the administrations at Toronto, not merely Hesburn‘s but previous ones alâ€" so, that the munijcipalities of Ontario are run by a lot of children or mental defectives, who can only make a mess of their business if let alone. The Telegram terms it further "a vicious of provincial autocracy." The excuse of war expense is fudge. Our cwn opinion is that the Ontario Government should let most everythino municipal alone. The province seems to be getting tco much Hitlerism in the Ontario Governâ€" ment. ‘"‘The issue is not the merits or the demeftits of a twaâ€"year term, which adâ€" mittedly are Adébatatble. The issue is the arbitrary removal of the inherent right of the electors to have any voice on a question which is directly of vital importance to them." Municipalities Should Run Their Own Business (From The Ottawa Journal) There is a. practically unahimous exâ€" pressicn of opinion in the press of Onâ€" tario and in municipal councils that the Ontaris G:zvernment should let municipal elections alone.
