Oddly enough there were 72 idle go.d mills in Canada at the end of 1940, The hnumbcr shows that mining like war. has its casualties. Several proâ€" ducors exhausted their orebodies and had to cease during the year. It is believed by the public that war s‘imulates the use of all metals. It dses, but it has stimulated , no new base metals into production in Canada. Their number remained at 17 and only 11 others represented the number of mines producing the fancy, or strategic metals. Low prices,, and markets reâ€" duced to virtually three countries, (Canada, Great Britain and United states), have stood in the way of exâ€" pansion of "war metal" mining in Canada. . Existing mines, however, made new records in everything but dividends. \ Dr. P.

One of the delogates takâ€" ing able part in the discussion was Councilior Ann Shipley, of Kirkland Lake. Mrs. Shipley, who is the wife of a medical practitioner, was not in favour of what is termed "state mediâ€" cine", such as is in force in Geormany and som» other countries but she sugâ€" gested that imunicipal medical â€" care might be of general advantage to the health and comfert of the people. Eventually the meeting appointed Mrs. Shipley, H. M. Ship and George Tucker to draft a resolution dealing with medâ€" ical care for citizens at the expense of any municipality prepared to adopt that system after a vote of the ratepayers. The third matter of special interest was the suggestion by the president of the association, Reeve J. H. Sumbler, of Dymen; township that plans be folâ€" lowed out in the North to protect this country from possible attack or saboâ€" tags. Declaring he was no alarmist, he spok»e of the possibility of sabotage originating in the United States against such northern points as Porcupinge an Kirkland Lake and urged the formation of A. R.

That may have been the issue of Jan. 26th, 1921. At any rate there was considerable of both "Hockey and: Haggis‘" in the issue because these were things in which the people were very much interested at the time. A leadâ€" ing feature on the front page was \a detailed accoun; of the first Burns banquet to be given by the Caledonian 'Socxety of Timmins. It was a great euccess (the banquet, not the report). Ther» were about 150 present and the programme was a remarkable one for and excellence. Mr. W. Mcâ€" Hugzh made the haggis and carried it in with due ceremony. J. K. Moore gave the address to the haggis. ‘The presiient of the society, Frank Lamb, conducted the event in very able way ’D Mackie was croupier. J.

Scott gave a ballad of his own composition in Braid Scots. |Celestaphone selections were played by Angus MacDonald. The piper for the evening was W. Bennett. The accompanis!‘s for the evning were Mrs. J. K. Moore and W. H. Wilson. To this "Haggis" report over a colâ€" umn was devoted while to the hock2y there were about a total of five columns of space allowed. Reference was made to approaching games, the s‘anding, goal records and other staâ€" tistics of the N. O. H. A. teams wers recorded. Timmins had won four games and lost one, with one tied and six to play and was at the hsad of the group. Timmins had 35 goals for and 17 against and in this also had the best showing in the group. The Neéew Lisâ€" keard Speaker‘s report of a game at the Creamery Town was given in full. There were a number of other artic};s and references throughout the paper. Another winter sport that was specâ€" ially mentioned twenty years ago Was that of curling. "A â€" Curling Rink Another of the Nceds of Timmins" was the heading of a front page artâ€" icle.. The article referred to the tractions of curling to the fact that there were many curlers in town, and to the popularity of the game in Canâ€" ada. The Advance suggested that the Caledonian Society might take up the matter of the preliminary arrangeâ€" ments for the organization of a curling club in Timmins. Though The Advance urged the matter on several occasions it was some time before the plans were taken up in earnest and the curling club organized. Another and greater need that The Advance was urging be supplied Timâ€" mins twenty years ago was the estabâ€" lishment of a public library here. The Advance had mentioned this matter on a number of ozccasions; and had reâ€" coived considerable supportt from readâ€" i)ofided to by T. F.

The library was opened here in July, 1924, and ever since has been a source of pleasure and advantage to hundreds of the people of the town vyoung and old. A picture in The Advance twenty years ago is that of "Mr. Louis George Ne Ville, author, dirsctor, producer of ‘Tsile of Love", to be given at the New Empire Theatre on Feb. 3rd, and 4th, 1821, for the benefit of the I. 0. D. E." At the annual meeting of the Assocâ€" iatod Boards of Trade twenty years ago the Government was asked to appoint more school inspectors for this part of the North, as there were only two inspectors for Temiskaming and part of Nipissing and no two men could possibly cover this immense territory. This was the chief matter discuss:d at the Associate Boards of Trade and The Advance gave it special promâ€" inence. At the regular meeting of the town council twenty years ago the chief matter up for discussion and considâ€" eration was tha; of improved fire proâ€" tection for Timmins. The question of exits from rooming houses and from the Reid block was referred to. Chimâ€" neys stovepipes, and especially the latâ€" ter, wore fruitful causes of fires, the fire chief told the council. Fire Chief Borland suggested the making 4 monthly inspection of all the town to see that chimneys and stovepipes were kept in right shaps and that other measures were adopted to assume safety from fires. The chisf was endorsed by the council in this. Councillor T. F. King said that in the matter of wood he believed that people were often deâ€" frauded by short measure. Chiaf Gn:er said the town had no byâ€"low in this reguard, and the council decided to pass one so that the chief might have full support in stopping short measures of wood. Samuel D.
