The following is from The Brantford Expositor of Friday last:â€" An interesting visitor in the City, atâ€" tending the convention of the Dominâ€" ion Assozciation of Fire Chiefs, is Mrs. F. Maxwellâ€"Smith, South Porcupine, who is on the taff of The Porcupine Advance, Timmins. Mrs. Maxwellâ€" Emith, in conversation with a member of The Expositor staff, spoke in most eulogistic terms of the hospitality and kindness of Brantford people. She paid the City the highest compliment posâ€" sible when she said: ‘"Brantford is a lovely place, I should like to live in it." She paid glowing tribute to the efforts of Mrs, Hufl, wife of Chief Huff, in helping to make the social part of the convention the great success it had proved,. Mrs. Maxwellâ€"Smith expressed pleasure in visiting the Mohawk Inâ€" stitute and His Majesty‘s Chapel of the Mohawks and referred most appreciâ€" atively to the courtesy of Rev. H. W. Snoll in showing visitors the Queen Anne Bible and historie silver comâ€" munion service in possession of the church. Mrs, Maxwellâ€"Smith was parâ€" ticularly interested in Indian lore and intended to visit the Brant Historical Society Museum at the Public Library, if time permitted. Mrs. Maxwellâ€"Smith said that her favourite hoblby was writing poetry and confessed that she had a "thrill" when a poem she had written on the occaâ€" lon of the visit of Reginald Stewart to Timmins, had been used by him on one of his programmes, her first intimation being when she saw it in print. She also spoke in the very highest terms of praise of the exceptional kindâ€" mess and generous hospitality of Mr. E. L. Cockshutt in opening ‘"Glenhyrst" for the pleasure of the visitors. His notable hospitality, thoroughly enjoyed was the social highlight of thne convenâ€" tion. She was taking home with her a sprig of olive, which, with Mr. Cockâ€" shutt‘s permission, had been picked there, to be a cherished possession and perhaps to be proffered as a peaceâ€" offering should occasion arise. OM Mrs. Maxwellâ€"Smith declared that this year‘s convention in Brantford was the most highly successful and enjoyâ€" able of any assembly yet held. | RADIO REPAIR S Interesting YVisitor at Brantford From Timmins All [oney, you know we are dining with McTavishes this evening." l1 right, let‘s have dinrer and be ur way."â€"The Joketr.

Mrs. Maxwell Smith, the enterprising representative of The Advance at Ssouth Porcupine, who seldom misses an item of interest at home or abroad, is at present on hoiiday in Western Ontario. She was among the ladies registered last week at the Dominion Association of Fire Chiefs in conventâ€" ion at Brantford, Ontario, her husband, Mr. Maxwell Smith being the presidâ€" ent of the Association. While in Brantâ€" ford Mrs. Smith had the pleasure of seeing Gracie Fields, the famous and beloved English comediene, and in view of the fact that this celetbrated enterâ€" tainer is to be at the McIntyre arena on Sept. 16th, sent the folowing referâ€" ences from the Brantford Expositor of last Friday:â€" Gracie Fields S¢nt Flowers to the Soldiers Gracle Fields delighted exâ€"soldiers at the Brantford General Hospital yesterday, when she sent flowers presâ€" ented to her on the night of her apâ€" pearance at the Capitel Theatre. The fortunate recipients were more than pleased at the thoughtful remembrance of this worldâ€"famed comediene who has done so much for both seldiers and sailâ€" ors.

"I think I have travelled every way except by horseback," t.hc‘ blond comedienne stated. ‘"This weekâ€" end I hope to spend in Niagara Falls,' but there will be no singing. My voice is tired ever since I sang in Windsor. The air there just seemed to grip my throat." Miss Fields stated that she did not think she would return to England | this season, as she planned. ‘"The season is so late and do you know I think I‘ve got rheumatism." | | ‘I was standing with T. E. Lawrence one morning in the Continental Hotel, Cairo, when a female tourist, quite inâ€" capable of understanding his talk, but anxicus to be seen conversing with the Uncrowned King of Arabia, moved toâ€" wards him. The temperature was high, and she was fanning herself with a newspaper as she invaded him. "Just think, Colonel Lawrence, ninetyâ€"two! Ninetyâ€"two!" With a tortured smile he replied: ‘"‘Many happy returns of the day."â€"The Listener, London. A depression is a time in which you have no belt to tighten.

Blizzard Thrilling Climax Just as Milland is preparing to return to his city practice, an epidemic of streptococcus breaks out in the, now, snowedâ€"in village. Milland starts off alone to the nearest town, fifteen miles away, through a raging blizzard, to get a necessary serum to combat the disâ€" ease. Patricia, fearing for his life, follows. Returning from the hunt, Tamiroff is convinced iby gossiping neigri»ours that the two have run away together, and starts after them, with murder in his heart. He finds them unconscious and slowly freezing to death in a deserted cabin, and, from this point the picture builds to a tenseâ€" ly dramatic climax. Glcbe and Mail: It is said that the brain of the murdered Leon Trosky was of abnormal size. He was an able man, but all this wonderful brain did was to keep him in constant trouble; so perhaps a smaller one is just as good. The special feature showing today at the Cartier theatre is tae fa@ward Small production, released by United Artists, "South of Pago Pago." It had as its leading artists Victor McLaglen, Jon Hall and Frances Farmer, while Olympe Bradna, Gene Lockhart, and Douglas Dumbrille are also in the cast. It is a story of adventure, romance, thrills, peril and drama. Several weeks before the actual shooting of the scenes started at the studios in Hollywood, Producer Small dispatched a big comâ€" pany to the Hawaiian scout location sites which could incorporate into the picture the natural beauty afforded only by the tropical islanders. Alâ€" though several scenes were made on the islands of Aahu, Maui and Kauai, the principal locations were on the famous Kona coast on the island of Hawaii, the largest in the group. Here 2,000 natives were employed, 300 canoes were assembled and an entire vilalge built on the beach. After four weeks on this location, Producer Small preâ€" sented the entire village to the natives for use as a playground, and when his troupe returned to MHollywood they brought with them a wealth of beautiâ€" ful tropical film. Then an exact reâ€" plica of the village was built at Hollyâ€" wood, including the beach and the roaring surf. Hawailan experts were secured to provide fruits, etc., for the feasts. The result of the work at Hollywood and in the islands as well has given a complete picture that is notaible for its beauty. Add to this the superb acting ability of the cast and the total result is entertainment of the very highest class.

Such a reâ€" umion occurred in Timmins on Thursâ€" day evening last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Les. Nicholson, Lang avenue, It also was made happier by the preâ€" sence of the wives of the men celeâ€" brating the reunion. It happoned this way: Mr. and Mrs. Walter ‘Brown of Kapuskasing, were visitors to Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson, on a week‘s holiâ€" day; Mr. and Mrs. Tom Haley, of Matheson, heard they were thers and motored in to pay their respects; Les. Tom and Walter, enlisted on the same day, in the 159th Batt. They went to England with the unit, and served throughout the war together and rgâ€" turned together. Each one is very prominent in Legion circles, Les, Nicâ€" holson. being 2nd Viceâ€"pres¢d@nt of the Timmins branch; Tom Haley, presiâ€" dent of Matheson branch; and Walter Brown, Sergeant at Arms of Kapuskasâ€" ing branch. It can be gathered that three mecting together after a number of years would be the cause of a celebration, but it was a double event as all the ladies were born and educated in the same district in Engâ€" land. To make the final happy note to the party, The Advance was told that all in the group lived within a threeâ€" mile radius of ane another in England. Pleasant hours were spent in talking over old times and army life.
