Admits Housebreaking and Theft Here; Given Sentence of Five Years Five years in Kingston Penitentiary was the sentence imposed yesterday morhing on Carl St. Regis after he pleaded guilty to four charges of breakâ€" ing and entering and theft, St. Regis pleaded guilty to the charges in police court on Tuesday but sentence was reâ€" manded until Wednesday so that the Magistrate would have an opportunity to examine St. Regis‘ record. The record was illustrative of St. Regis‘ admission in court to the effect that he was a habitual criminal. It showed that he first was apprehended in Fort Wayne, Indiana, as a suspect in 1920. In 1922 he was sent to jail for a period from three to fifteen years for breaking and entering; ir. 1923 he escaped from Michigan State Reformaâ€" tory and in 1923 was sentenced to three years for housebreaking and theft at London, Ontario. In 1926 he was reâ€" turned to Michigan State Reformatory. In 1929 he was sentenced to three years in Toronto for housebreaking and theft and in the same year received a three year term at Guelph for burglary. Two years in Leavenworth Penitentiary was the sentence in 1934 for violation of Immigration laws. In 1937 at Chatham 3 months for theit and the same sentâ€" ence in 1938 at Welland. St, Regis pleaded guilty to four charges here. The first was that he broke and entered the home of John PF. McNeil and stole therefrom a radio, suitcase and shoes. Second was that he broke and entered the home of Kelly Abrams and stole a combination radioâ€" victrola worth $102. He pleaded guilty to the theft of an electric drill from Marshallâ€"Ecclestone‘s store and the theft of a tool chest, containing tools valued at $100 from Antoine Vachon. Admits "Long, Miserable" Criminal Record in Police Court. Examination Shows Record Extends Back to 1920. Pleads Guilty to Two Charges of Breaking and Entering in Timmins and Two Charges of Theft. After hearing St. Regis Magistrate Atkinson remanded sentence until Wedâ€" nesday morning in order to be able to examine the man‘s court record. Asked if he had been previously conâ€" victed, St. Regis said, "Yes your Worâ€" ship, I have a long and miserable reâ€" cord. I have made a long struggle since I left Burwash in April and have tried to go straight. Idid 17 days‘ work for the Chief of Police at Sault Ste. Marie and I got a job in a mine for a while. T probably wouldn‘t be here now expect that I did a reâ€"decorating job for a man in Timmins and only got $7 of the total bill for $67. He wouldn‘t pay me the money he owed me."

Charles F. Read was installed into the Chair of King Solomon according to ancient custom. Bro. Read celebrated his 80th birthday last month, and it is doubted if ony lodge in Canada can equal that record. Unique Oceasion at Engleâ€" hart A. F. A. M, This The officers of Englehart Lodge A. F. A. M. were installed and invested by R.W. Bro. Jas. Paterson, assisted by the Past Masters of the lodge, and R W. Bros. Dr. Crann of Elk Lake, R.W, Bro. J. Penman and R.W. Bro. J. S. McCullough, of New Liskeard, and R. W. Bro. Walter Hill, of Englehart. The lodge room was filled to capacity by members and visiting brethren, showing the respect and esteem in which W. Bro. Read is held by all. Following the installation ceremony, a turkey supper was served in the dinâ€" ing hall, and the usual Loyal and Craft tcasts were honoured. Many very complimentary remarks were addressed to the new W.M. on his attaining the exalted rank he now holds. R.W. Bro. J. S. CeCullough reâ€" marked that he had attended the cereâ€" mony partly out of curiosity to see the decrepit old man who was to be installâ€" ed, and instead, had found a spry young fellow full of "pep" and quite able and willing to undertake the duties of Worâ€" shipful Master of the lodge. Altogether, this was about the finest gathering ever held in Englehart Lodge, and W. Bro. Read is assured of the supâ€" port of every member of the lodge, durâ€" ing his term of office.

Cobalt, Jan. 11.â€"(Special to The Arâ€" vance)â€"Pupils of St. Patrick‘s seperate school attended in a body in their nearby parish church on Tuesday morning for the wedding of one of their former teachers, Miss Marjorie Martin, sister of Dr. Joseph Martin, Timmins dentist, who was married to Dr. Herbert Dunning of Cobalt, and son of Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Dunning, of Ottawa. Miss Florence Murphy, colleague on the staff with the bride, was bridesmaid, and Mr. Edgar Boland, the principal, was groomsman. In the issue of The Advance of Jan. 4th, there was a list of those from Timâ€" mins who were known to have enlisted, together with a request to all friends to help make the list complete. Mr. Bert West, RCASC., M.T., Exhibition Barracks, Toronto, who himself was one of the first from Timmins to join up after the declaration of war, has been kind enough to send a list of the boys from Timmins in his unit. These young all left immediately on the outbreak of war. * The bride, daughter of Reeve Wilâ€" liam Martin, of Coleman township, and of Mrs. Martin, was given in marriage by her father. She was dressed in petal rose romance crepe, trimmed with silver, with turban to match and silver slippers, and her bridal bouquet was of American Beauty roses.

Maurice Villeneuve Makâ€" ing Name for Himself in Hockey and Otherwise. The\ollowing account from the paper published by the«eMichigan School of Mining and Technology, will be of inâ€" terest to his many friends in Timmins and district. J. Maurice Villeneuve, who graduated from Timmins public and High Schools, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Villeneuve, of 64 Balsam street south, and is at present a stuâ€" dent at the Michigan School of Mining and Technology, Houghton. Carrying the heading "Under the Crosshairs," the column also bears a photograph of the popular captain of the hockey team of that school, and is as follows: "Under the Crosshairs"‘ nominates for recognition, J. Maurice Villenueve, a senior metallurgist who haills from Timmins, Ontario. His qualification is one of an everâ€"ready smile and outâ€" standing ability in the sport of flashâ€" ing sticks. The smile has won him an everâ€" increasing number of friends, and the sportive ability, a great number of admirers,; "Frenchy" as he has been baptized by his pals, was elected captain for this years‘ ice Huskies and is expected to do great thing in his favourite position at centre. He has played for three years, in which time he has proved himself one of the best hockey players Michiâ€" gan Tech has ever seen. He also plays the type of game everyone likes to watchâ€"fast skating, clever stickhandâ€" ling, and numerous spills. "He has been a memberâ€"of the Varâ€" sity club for two years and this year his fellow members elected him viceâ€"presiâ€" dent. "Being a fast, flashy player Frenchy has been the crowd‘s favorite for many an ice battle. His style, which is plenty tricky, has developed from his gathered experience playing for numerous Canaâ€" dian teams and also Tech for the past three years. It brings good results as shown by the fact that he was high scorer last year. "Frenchy‘s fine personality and genâ€" tlemanly conduct coupled with his agâ€" gressive spirit as evilienced by his hocâ€" key playing will do much to make him one of the most successful of the class of 1940." The following is an editorial article from Tuesday‘s issue of The Northern News, of Kirkland Lake:â€" ‘"Kirkland Lake, in its good fortune of having assurance that roads will be kept open as far as Val d‘Or eastward and south all through to Toronto, should not forget the plight of Timâ€" mins and the Porcupine, isolated enâ€" tirely by the government‘s announced determination not to plougin north of Kirkland Lake. ‘"‘There are, if we remember aright, over 4,000 motor vehicles in that area. The number may be even greater. These car owners are called upon to pay the full fee for their licenses, but can only use their cars for what m*y be termed brief joyâ€"rides over what little open road there is in the immediate neighbourhood. ‘"Kirkland Lake has a grievance, too, for there are many local motorists who wish to drive north from here to Timâ€" mins, Matheson, or other points. "If one road can be kept open, so can the other. In Michigan, a state which has very heavy snow in some areas, it was found that the cost of ploughing was more than met by inâ€" crease gas consumption, and conseâ€" quently increased revenue from g@s taxation. "Furthermore, there are the garagse men and operators of service stations to consider, while still another considerâ€" ation is the importance of longâ€"haul truck transport. "We think that Timmins motorists and cthers thus isolated are fully justiâ€" fied in making complaint." Kapuskasing Air Port to Handle Air Mail Now whose appointment as Division Freight and District Passenger Agent, Canadian National Railways, at North Bay, has been announced. Mr. Smith, who was formerly Disâ€" trict Freight Agent, at Toronto, comâ€" menced his railway career in the Transportation Department, at Walâ€" kerton, and, subsequently, served in various capacities at Whitechurch, Wiarton and Hespeler. He transâ€" ferred to the Traffic Department at Toronto, 1916, and was successively Soliciting Freight Agent, Travelling Freight Agent and District Freight Agent, obtaining the latter appointâ€" ment 10 years ago and which posiâ€" tion he now relingquishes to assume his new duties at North Bay. GORDONX E. SMITH THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The girls‘ athletics at the T. H. and V. S. are progressing very nicely, especially in basketball. The first form students are looking forward to their interform basketball schedule which is to begin in the near future. However the problem of the moment is to pick the Senior basketball team. Some of the hopeful prospects are: Frorwards: Guards: Evelyn Knott Katherine MacElwee Jean Prest Hilda Ross Clair Korman Phyllis McCoy Louise ‘Charron â€" Mary Stock Jean Baker Betty Babcock Bernice Ross Helen Lehto Rita Prest Bertha Perreault Rita Prest Bertha Perreault Kay McInnis Stella Malinowsky The team will be picked on Wednesâ€" day to piay against Schumacher this Friday night. The game in the Timâ€" mins High School gymnasium is to beâ€" gin at 8.30, and will be followed by a party in the school auditorium. BOYS‘ SPORTS About the most important subject, in the matter of sports in the T. H. V. School, is that of the senior basketâ€" ball team. The boys are out to win this year, and they take their practice sessions to heart in showing what they can really do. The veterans of the team, who have tasted action in past years, are still going strong. To the new members of the team it is something of an advenâ€" ture. However, with a new team in the league, some of the older boys will notice the difference. The local crew will not take any acâ€" tion until the twentieth of this month when Noranda visits Timmins. . The three school teams which are to take part in the twelveâ€"game schedule of the NO.SS.A. are: Noranda, Kirkland Lake and Timmins. FEach team plays The Kirkland High and Vocational School has always put out a good team and there is not doubt that they will keep up their record. Noranda, the new member in the league, will no doubt prove a worthy contender for the cup. Last but not least, the homeâ€"town squad, whether win or lose, will put up a fighting team, well worth the time and effort spent on it by our coach, Mr,. Donald Clark. a series of eight games between the twelfth of January and the first of March. As this is winter, it would be unfair not to mention hockey. As in the past, the school will endeavour to sponsor a number of teams in the Kiwanis league. There are three age groups, junior, inâ€" termediate and senior. In the past two years there has not been a senior team, but if there is a sufficient numâ€" ber of candidates, a team will be formâ€" ed. The weekly speaker on the war situâ€" ation came from 2D. The fact that Great Britain produces guns eight times as fast as she did in the last war was one of the many interesting points of Gladys Roy‘s address. In a summary of his weekly talks on "How to Study" Mr. Tanner stressed the value of being in good physical conâ€" dition, with good eyesight and regular dental examinations as the first reâ€" quirement of a student. He emphasizâ€" ed regular study hours and regular study habits. Library books, magazine, radio programmes, should not lure the eager, ambitious student away from his work. Parents should remember that school work is more important than any other work; success in later life deâ€" pends upon early training; so the coâ€" operation of the parents is necessary to bring about the student‘s success. Part of the new wing on the High Bchool is already in use and it is exâ€" pected that all rooms will be ready for use within two wreks,. Intermediate and junior groups are always popular. Two teams will be picked in both divisions and will be named, Junior A and Junior B, and Intermediate A and B teams. As nreither age group has won a cup in the past two years, a heavy responâ€" sibility will be laid on the shoulders of the contestants this year. For those who, either are not good enough for the teams or do not wish to play with them, other teams will be formed in the school. These teams will enter in a competition such as took place last autumn with the sixâ€"man rugby teams.

Napoleon Migneault, 19 years of age, was sentenced to serve two months in jJail for three admitted charges of reâ€" ceiving stolen goods, in police court on Tuesday. x The youth pleaded guilty to two charges of receiving stolen cigarettes and tobacco worth approximately $5.50 and to one charge of receiving tools worth $5 which he knew to be stolen. Constable Angeley Guolla said that the tobacco and tools were found in a cache in the walls of Migneault‘s home. Writing in yesterday‘s Globe and Mail, Sidney Norman, mining editor says : â€" ‘"‘Mining men in general, and prosâ€" pectors and promoters in particular, will follow the proceedings of the Ontario Legislature, which starts its 1940 session today, with more than orâ€" dinary interest in the hope that someâ€" thing will be done to liberalize the Ontario Securities Act and call a halt upon the oneâ€"man rules and regulaâ€" tions that have contributed so conâ€" siderably to the present low level to which prospecting and financing have fallen in Ontario. Patrick Thomas, who has been conâ€" victed three times this year of being drunk, was sentenced to the usual three months given a third offender on intoxication charges. Cause of Prospectors Now in Legislature‘s Hands When John Van Tent said that the reason his dog nipped two Fournicr children was because they beat the animal with a stick at every opporâ€" tunity; teased him and otherwise illâ€" treated him, Magistrate Atkinson deâ€" cided that ‘there was no reason to acâ€" cede to the request of the father of the children, Tom Fournier, that the dog be destroyed. "Our understanding is that a comâ€" mittee representing the Prospectors and Developers‘ Association met with Atâ€" torneyâ€"General Conant yesterday to discuss the situation, and came away after a long session without any definite assurance that anything would be done toward reviving the spirit that must be encouraged if this Province is to maintain its lead as the premier goldâ€" producing political subdivision on the American Continent. will g tion â€" whose appointment as Division Freight Agent, Canadian National Railways, at Hamilton, is announcâ€" ed, effective the first of the year. Mr. O‘Neil, who was formerly Diviâ€" sion Freight and District Passenger Agent, at North Bay, commenced his railway career with the Grand Trunk Transportation Department, at Sarnia, 1901. Subsequently, he was moved to Point Edward and later to Port Huron. After a brief period as Agent at Wingham, he joined the Traffic Department as Travelling Freight Agent, at Hamâ€" ilton, in 1913. Subsequently, he served in the same capacity at Lonâ€" don and Windsor and in May, 1929, became District Freight Agent, at London. He retained this position until he was promoted to Division Freight and District Passenger Agent at North Bay, a year later, which he now relingquishes to become Division Freight Agent, at Hamilton. a W We ALEXANDER C. QO‘NEIL anC incerely hope the Legislature this matter earnest consideraâ€" i make such changes in the present setup as will restore inherent rights to those who have contributed so much to the weliâ€"being of the Province and, in fact, done more to stand off the ravages of depression than all other classes combined.
