Another special feature of the evenâ€" ing was the singing by Fritz Hoffman, one of the members of the energetic committee in charge of the event. A dainty lunch was served. The town hall at Iroquois Falls was the scene of a merry even; on Priday evening, when, to celebrate the openâ€" ing of the golfing season, the members of the Abitibi Golf Club and their friends, danced from "green to green," and, between dances, prepared to "tesâ€" Of" this season of 1941. Perhaps. for some of thase presont, the evening‘s most interesting moâ€" ments came when they joined old friends in reminiscences of past golfâ€" ing seasons. But each and »very one of the charming ladies in their beautiâ€" ful evening frocks, and the equally handsome gentlemen, enjoyed themâ€" selves and the music of Henry Kelâ€" neck‘s orchestra. Novelty numbers and solos by Evelyn Clarke and George Esâ€" sery were favourites with the dancers. Among thoseâ€" who attended were:â€" Mr. E. M.Paukert, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Mobbs, Mr. and Mrs. H. R.

There was ~considerable excitement last week in Haileybury over the reâ€" ports of an assault upon Mrs. Haentsâ€" chel, widow of the late Dr. Haentschel, of Haileybury, by a woman who had been living in that town. Mrs. Haentsâ€" chel, who is over 80 years of age, was attacked and carried upstairs where she was thrown upon a bed and partly tied up so that she could not free herâ€" self. The woman who thus attacked her remained in the house until the following morning when a visitor arâ€" rived at the home of Mrs. Haentschel and the intruder disappeared. Mrs. Haentschel was found to be suffering from shock and from bruises, but is likely to survive the disagreeable exâ€" perience. first the identity of the assailant of Mrs. Haentschel was not know:n but the police soon picked up clues resulting in the arrest of a woman who has been living in Haileybury and who is said to have acted in a peculiar way on occasion, but who was conâ€" sidered harmless. The mental condiâ€" tion of this woman will be studied and she will likely «appear before the magistrate this week.

Unusual Assault Case at Haileybury Last Week An Irish jig given by an elderly gentleman, Mr. H. C. Sloan, a visitor from Vinton, Que., was received with much applause and a violin solo by Tony Auino was another source of entertainment. The singing of "Alouette," led by Father Roberge, concluded the enterâ€" tainment. The men were mos; enthusiastic over the gqdinner which featured roast turkey and Virginia ham and the ladies were given a hearty vote of thanks. Mr. Charles Sweet, who three years ago founded the Catholice Men‘s Club in South Poreupine, propesed the toast to the club remarking on the growth of membership in the club since its inauguration. This toast was respondâ€" ed to by Mr. Jack Brady. Mr. Matt Mulcahy proposed the toast to the ladies in his own inimitable style and the Children‘s Choirâ€"featurâ€" ing Rita Huot and Darwin Aitken as soloists also gave vocal selections. unity in such a parish as St. Joachim‘s, where so many nationalities made coâ€" cperation necessary. He also spoke of the necessity of building a new church for which permission has been given. Sufficien; money for this new venture will have to be raised in the parish of the building to be realized. Miss Teena Yorke sang very sweetly "Young Johnny Canada" (Miss Corkâ€" €ry accompanying) and Mr. O‘Rorke, of Timmins, was well received in a comic song. Rev. Father Theriault proposed the toast to the Pope, response being given in a very able and interesting way by Father Martindale, of Schumacher. Mr. Nix, of the High School staff, rendered a piano selection, "The Donâ€" key Serenade.‘" Father Roberge in an address on "The Parish," stressed the need of London, May 10â€"The British Adâ€" miralty figures of shipping lasses preâ€" sented these totals:â€" POR 12 MONTHS British ships lostâ€"719.

Father Roney, of Timmins, proposed the toast to the King and spoke of the fine example set by both Their Majesties during the present war.

The adjudicators for this year are: Dr. Charles Peaker, PR.CO., organâ€" ist and music director of Der Park United Church, ‘Toronto, who will judge the instrumental music; and Mr. Roy Fenwick, Mus. Bac., provincial supervisor of music for Ontario, who wiil be the judge in the vocal numbers.

The second annual Festival of Music for the District of ‘Cochrane opened this morning and will continue Tussâ€" day and Wednesday of this week.

Above all, none should fail to enjoy the grand event in the McIntyre arena on Wednesday eveâ€" ning, May 1l4th, which will conclude the festival. At this event the winners at the festival will be on the programme, while massed choirs will also be a special feature. Last year‘s concluding was one of the most cutstanding musical events in the North, and the programme Wednesâ€" day night promises to exceed the inâ€" terest and excellence of the concert last yvear. The Festival of Music was formally opened this morning when two of the patrons of the festival, Mrs. J. A. Braâ€" dette, M.P., and Inspector W. F.
