Eight Separate Schools in Timmins Provided for 2800 Catholic Children Schools Among the Very First Permanent Buildâ€" ings Here. Porcupine Always Ready to Support Idea of Education thoughts in the minds of those who were working to build up this countryâ€" education and permanence. Residents here seemed to desire to have the town built on safe and permanent lines. It is not surprising that this agesire for permanence went along with that other ideal of education. In any event, it was not long after the building of modern brick schools here that other brick structures began to be common in the seeking after permanence and safety. It is also worth recalling at this time that there were some who quesâ€" tioned wisdom a quarter of a century ago of building an eightâ€"room brick school in a small town such as this was at that time. There were eighiy pupils at the public school at the time there was talk of building an expensive structure to accommodate 320 youngsters. The school board of that day, with Mr. Dayton Ostrosser as chairman, went ahead with their plans, the new on {Ciold Children Here Have the Opportunity for Education Combined Staff of Separate Schools Totals Over 75.

Of course, the first schools in the area were of necessity makeâ€"shift and temporary | structures. But it was not long before | the local idea of the necessity and the! value of schools and education was very evident here., It is worth recallâ€" ; ing in this connection that the third brick building to be erecteq in Timâ€" mins was a public schoolâ€"the middle section of the present Central public school. The only other brick buildings in town at that time, apart freom the mine, were the Reid block and the T. N. O. station. It was not long, however, before there «was another large and handsome brick building in the townâ€"this time another schoolâ€"St. Anthony‘s separate school.

Ssouth Porcupine had a somewhat similar experience. The late Sylvester Kennedy was chairman of the board when South Porcupine erected its first large brick public schaool. Some wis>â€" acres used to term it "Vesty‘s monuâ€" ment" with intended humour. Their joke did not last long, however, for its need and usefulness were soon very evident. But it still remains "Vesty‘s monument‘" in other fashionâ€"a fitting monument to publicâ€"spirited citizen * vision, who had the Porcupineâ€"the North Landâ€"regard and desire for the best opportunity for children to securs education.

Whereas output in the Union of south Africa has increased without interruption during the last few years, with the result that it was nearly oneâ€" thirda larger in 1941 than in 1931, the increase in certain other countries has been even more pronounced. Thus, during the last ten years, production in North America nearly doubled; in Ssouth America, Oceania, and, probably Asia, it nearly trebled. The developâ€" ment .was still more spectacular in however, and had the support of the people in general. Their foresight was proven by the fact that before the school was actually constructed, it was not large enough for the expected atâ€" tendance, and within A few years two additions of equal stze to the original had to be added. Six members comprise the Public School Board for the town of Timmins, with Mr. E. L. Urquhart as chairman. The board supervises the activities cf the schools, and helps to efficiently run the affairs of the institutions which provide the proper education for about two thousand four hundred studentis.

Constable Angelo Guolla gave a summary of the evidence against Roâ€" berge and his evidence was then corâ€" roborated by Constable Victor Belanger. The police had raided Roberge‘s estabâ€" lishment after they had received inâ€" formation from the constable who was observing traffic. When they entered the place they found the usual signs of these business establishments. The air in the house was heavily laden with smoke and there was an odor of beer in the house. It was the second raid that the police had carried out on the same place and in this second raid they found no person in the house drinking but they did locate a quantity of beer and some wine. some of the minor producing coun This ‘koard controls the affairs of eight separate schools, two of which were construcied last year, and with the building of which the total number of, classrooms became Reventyâ€"five.

Louis Roberge, 69 Thirqa avenue, rear, appeared in ipolice csurt on Tuesday afternocn and faced a charge of kesepâ€" ing liquor for sale. At the conclusion of the testimony against Roberge the magistrate passed sentence of three months in jail. The premises were made public for a year and the liquor that was seized in the raid was orderâ€" ea to be confiscated. AffTairs of the Separate Schools in Timmins are efficiently managed by a school board consisting of a chairâ€" man and five other members. Mr. P. J. Dunlop is the chairman for the school term of 18941â€"42, with Mossrs J. V. Bonhomme, J. E. H. Chateauvert, J. Sullivan, E. Mainville, and L. Belair comprising the remainder of the board. The constable then started to relate his experiences during the first raid that took place on August 17ih,. At that time some "customers" were found in the house and only one of them was known by the accused. Of the five persons found partaking of the forâ€" bidden fruit, the proprietor knew only cne by his full name. ‘Two of the others were total strang*ers to the man.

Dismissal in Case of Having Beer in Other Than Home chipped i¢e to keep the beer cool. Th men were asked who served them the beer and they replied that they aidn‘t know. They had <just asked for the beer and it had been brought to them but they couldn‘t remember who had brought it.. Roberge was then asked about serving the beer ana he admitâ€" ted that he had served the beer to his friends. He denied that he had chargâ€" ed them for the beer though. On August 22nd about eleven o‘clock Constable Guolla conducted a second raid on the same place and that time he was accompanied by Constables Amlin and Vic Belanger. to the raid he had received information that there was a secret cache in the house and when he entered the houss he found this hiding place under the floor in the front room. The rug was removed and there in sight of all was the trap door that led to the storeâ€" roocm for the beer. There were many signs in this secret hiding place that beer had been kept there. Labels were to be seen streown all over the floor and the ground was well packed as though there had been a lot of traffic over*4t. Besides this cache under the floor the consta‘bles also found ninetgen bottles of beer in another case in one of tn> bedrooms. at the house, two other persons had calledâ€" for his friend and they were the only people that had come to the house that night. His two friends were called to the stand and they denied that any other person had called at the house while they were there. «One of the men was askeq if he had heard the evidence of Constable Belanger who said that at least nine persons had rapped at the dcoor and either entered or left after a conversation with ons of the persons inside, and he said that he had heard the evidence but he branded it as lies. The magistrate then decided that there would be a conviction and read the accused‘s record. He found that Roterge had served three months on the same charge two years ago and this term was admitted by the accused who said that it was the last time he had dabbled in the beer business. His anâ€" swer evidently didn‘t make any imâ€" pression on the magistrate as he orâ€" dered him to serve annther three months for selling beer. The magisâ€" trate also ordered the premises to be made public for a period of one year when it will be 1nfi=gal to have any sort of spiriis in the house. Joseph Moreau, formerly of 63 Third avenue, in Timmins, was given the benefit of the doubt in a charge of having beer in other than his private residence on Tuesday afternoon in police court. Technically the man was guilty but Magistrate Atkinson belieyâ€" ed that the experience that happened to Moreau could have been true and could have happened to anyons. Moreau‘s story was that on the Satâ€" urday night that he was arrested he was moving to another house. Before he had gone to work that day he had moved some of his belongings to the new room that he was going to rent and that room was already occupied by two other men but Moreau claimed that he was going to sleep on a chesâ€" terfield in the room till Monday when one of the men was supposed to leave town. Included among the belongings that he had transferred to his new HOLY FAMILY SEPARATE sCHOOL, TTMMIN® room was 14 pints of beer, a part galâ€" lon jar of wine ana part of a forty cunce bottle of wine. Moreau said that he was working in a local sawmill and that he had exâ€" pected to arrive home shortly after six o‘clock but he was asked to work overâ€" time that night and didn‘t arrive home till after ten o‘clock. When he got home he was confronted by the police who asked him if he cwned the win? that had been found in a room across the street. Hs admitted ownership ang told the police the same story that h> told the magistrate. Constables Munroe and Guolla gays evidence against Moreau and said that they had conducted a raid on the boardâ€" ing house at 69 Third avenue ang hail found the wine there. A man by the name of Clermont Butette was staying in the room and it was he who told the police that the wine belonged to Moreau. The polics then went to Moreau‘s room, across the street, and after hearing him admit ownership they laid the charge. Magistrate Atkinson and Crown Atâ€" torney Caldbick agreed that the man haq told a plausible story and the (isâ€" missal was granted. Armand Perron paid a fine of ten dollars and costs on the same charge of having beer in other than his priâ€" vate residence when he pleaded guilty to the charge. Perron had been caught on a Timmins strset with a bottle of beer in his car. The magistrate finally disposed of the charge against Edward Walker, of Timmins, on Tuesday when he ordered the man to pay a fine of ten dollars and costs or serve thirty days. Walker was charged with being in illegal possession of homemade wins. The evidence was taken in the case two weeks ago but the magistrate asked that the wins b> sent away for analysis and on Tuesday Leo H. Gagnon, chief of police, read Joseph Romeo Lontin was charged with having wine in a public place and he appearedq in court on Tuesday and pleaded guilty to the charge. The magistrate fined him ten dollars and if the fine was not paid Lontin would have to serve thirty days in the Haileyâ€" bury jail. When arrested and found in possession of the wine, Walker had told the police that he had bought the wine from a house in Timmins and was bringing it home with him to rub on his legs in an effort to relieve the pain from rheumatism. The magistrate didn‘t recommend that anyone else try that remedy. Walker was later relsasâ€" ed on bail and since that time the police have been unable to find him to bring him to court. On Tuesday Maâ€" gistrate added a rider to his sentence issuing a warrant of committment for Walker‘s arrest. the report that had been received from the laboratory in Toronto. The conâ€" tents of the pop bottle that had been sent for analysis contained 9.07 alcohol. Alfred Lapointe, from Mountjoy township, was facing a charge of havâ€" ing liquor in a public place.

He pleaded guilty to the charge and the magistrate sentenced him to ten days in jail and the car to be impounded for three months and his driver‘s license to be taken away from him for six months.
