The Kirkland Lake paper carâ€" ried a story about JoJo Graboski signâ€" ing with the Quebec Aces for next seaâ€" ‘son. A rumour has been circulated around ‘Timmins for the past few weeks that the Hollinger Club were trying to get the oneâ€"eyed wonder to play for them next year and to coach the team as well. The story in the Northern News on Priday drenr-hed all of those hopes. Here‘s the story: "JoJo Graboski will be playing for the Quebec Aces (Royal Rifles) in the quebec Benior Hockey Leagus®: next season.

According to the statement of claim, plaintiff alleges that, while in converâ€" sation with a friend during the proâ€" gress of a ball game ‘he was not watchâ€" ing at the time, he was struck in his good eyve by a foul ball, receiving seriâ€" ous injuries. His other eye was damâ€" aged years ago, although he played hockey under that handicap, it is stated. The game in which the acciâ€" dent occurred was part of a July 1 proâ€" gram held at the Beach under the auspices of the Firemen‘s Association, it is alleged. There are several odd features about a case expected to come before the Supreme Court sittings at Haileybury on June l6th. B. J. Montgomery, a former hockey player of New Lisâ€" kea rd, who suffered ithe loss of the sight of one eye in a hockey match, is suing the New Liskeard Firemen‘s Association for damages for injury to the other eye, the said injury to his eye ‘being claimed to be due to being hit by a foul ‘ball during a programme presented under ‘the auspices of the New Liskeard Firemen‘s Association. The amount of damages asked is $2,500.00. The writ was issued for Mr. Montgomery ‘by W. C. Irch, barrister and solicitor, of Haileybury. _ _As noted in The Advance one of the plans to give publicity to the Victory Luan canpagn and create interest is the Ontario government idea of havâ€" ing essay contests in all the schools. At Smooth Rock Falls the possibilities in this idea have been enthusiastically recognized. The merchants and other interests at Smooth Rock Falls have volunteered {prizes for the essay conâ€" tests and the people in general are supporting them to the limit. But the idea has been improved upon at Smooth Rock Falls The provincial idea includes only the pupiis in the higher grades of the public schools, Smooth Rock Falls has extended the plan to all Junior, Grades. At Smooth Rock Falls the plan is to have Juniot Grade pupils write a letter to Mr. Churchill on the topic, "How and Why We are Going to Win the War."‘ It is intended that the most outstanding letter or letters, should actually be forâ€" warded to Hon. Mr. Churchill. It would appear that not only will this plan create interest in the Victory Loan, but that it will also prove a method of inspiration and encouragement for all at home and abroad.

April 25 THE PORCUPTNXT aADVANCTE, TTMMTNS, ONTARIG District Scout Master Norman Green responded, and gave as an opening to his address, Badenâ€"Powell‘s last mes+ sage. He told of the work of the Scouts in bombing raids in England and read a newspaper clipping, telling of the bravery of one Scout in ‘Bristol @uring an airâ€" raid. This 14â€"yearâ€"old lad was asked to carry a message to another post. He carried through his job although badly wounded. He died later in hospital. Giving some figures on the growth of Scouting the District Scout Master showed that in Ontario at present there are 800 groups with 41,800 boys, Timmins has 8 groups with 400 Scouts and Cubs. It was planned to hold a joint camp this year, and the speaker thought this would be oi great benefit. Scouting was on the upâ€" grade again in Timmins. The District Scout Master also gave a brief review of the war work the Scouts are doing in Timmins and also mentioned the recent Hobby Show and entertainment. Mr. Brooker, proposed the toast *To Scouting"‘, stressing the point that the ‘‘*boys of today are the men of toâ€"morâ€" row .‘ The toast to ‘The King‘" was proâ€" posed by Mr. Lawry and this was folâ€" lowed by a,period of community singâ€" ing led by Scoutmaster A. Wright. Some interesting items were included in these songs. Four certificates were presented to leaders at the banguet. Mr. Lawry in making the presentations stated that these were only secured after lots of hard work and study on the part of the recipients. Mr. P. A. Boyce, was introduced by D.R.M. Ab. Wright with very compliâ€" mentary remarks. Mr. Boyce delivered a very stirring address on "Leadership‘ He spoke plainly to all. is good in every boy," he said, ‘tbut you have to dig it out." The home conditions came in for a lengthy portion of Mr. Boyce‘s address. "The home should be studied as much as the child," he said. Children in large families often had many difficulties to overcome. Famiâ€" lies with three and four children made useful and good material. He asked pointed questions of the Leadersâ€"Did they take an analysis of themselves to see whether they measured 4p to the standards they taught? "Socially, mentally and physically the boy or girl should be analysed and the answer to the problem would be solved. The speaker gave graphic pictures of his own life and the way he manages to have a lad bring out his good points. "I‘ve handled some tough ones" he said "but they are fine lads now." The adâ€" dress was touched with humour as well as sadness and the speaker was acâ€" corded the thanks of all by insistent and prolonged applause. Councillor Bill Roberts, also spoke al few words of tribute wthemmud The Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Canaâ€" dian Legion, catered for the occasion and served a very nice supper. The event opened with "Flag Break" by Cub Leader Lacy, followed by the singing of "O Canada and grace read by Fr. Martindale, of Schumacher. The annual banguet of the Boy Scouts Association of ‘Timmins was held in the Legion hall on Thursday evening with around 50 present, inâ€" cluding the officers of the Association and Scout Leaders and Cub Pack Leaders.

The Kirkland polâ€" ice sent Corporal McDougall of the Ontaric Provincial police and Sergeant Mortson of the Teck Township police to the <"YÂ¥" at Dane to watch for the taxi. About 6.30 in the morning the police saw the taxi approach the "Y". They were parked there expecting the taxi to turn into Kirkland Lake on the way to Rouyn. Instead of turning into Kirkland Lake the taxi kept on the highway and was headed south when the Kirkland Lake police started to chase it. They chased it for about seven miles before catching the car. It was apparent from the third round that the Sweetwater, Tox., scrapper sorely missed the motorcycle on which he did most of his training. He averâ€" aged a winning minute a round until the fourth, but from then on, with one brief exception, it was all Montgomâ€" erv. 33 Exchangeâ€"After enjoying a square meal, a man will more than likely try to act squiare with his fellowman.

Tomorrow the Negro‘s handlers will go before the New York State Athletic Commission and formally challenge for the title. If agreeable, Promoter Mike Jacobs will stage the encore durâ€" ing July or August, either in the Polo Grounds or the Yankee Stadium. If he can repeat Friday night‘s triâ€" umph, Montgomery then will go after 2ivic, who now is busy with plans for defending his title against Al (Bummy) Davis, earlier in the summer. Jenkins came out of Friday night‘s melee with a bad cut on the nose, anâ€" other oh the right eve and a gash on the left ear. He lost seven of the 10 rounds. The three people are alleged to have been in the restaurant when the vicâ€" tim entered about 4 o‘clock in the morning. The victim Maris Larche, is said to have entered the restaurant and to have dropped a small purse from her handbag. She didn‘t notice that the purse had dropped out and she had gone over to a table to sit down. While she was sitting there one of the two women now held by the police is alleged to have picked up the purse and left the restaurant.
