"This is the first time in two years tha‘ ;the Falls ras won from Timâ€" mins in hockey," said The Advance at the time, "and had the game continu«â€" '.ed for four or five minutes longer the ‘ score would have been different. The ‘seams lined up as follows:â€""Iroquois Fallsâ€"Corbould. goal; Brydge and Wilâ€" son, defence; Fahey, right; Quesnel, cen‘tre; Chiroski, left; Fluker and Brickenden, spares. Timminsâ€"Scully, goal; Cox and Cameron, defence; Campbell, right; McGuire, centre; Mcâ€" Curry, lef; Brennan and Kelly, spares. In the first period neither team seemed to be able to get going at firs; and the puck ruch of its time was around centre ice. MoGuire got away a couple of times but missed. It was Chirocoâ€" ski who scored the first goal of the season. Brydge, Quesnel and Fluker saged some heavy attacks and Scully had a bit of work to do. In the secâ€" ond period the Falis got going pretty well, but Timmins not so well. Quesâ€" nel scored two in this period. Campâ€" bell scored for Timmins in this period, and this one with the one scored by Cox and McCurry in the first frame made two for Timmins, but the Falls had five. In the third period the Falls koys wanted to rest, but the Timâ€" mins lads got going and there was no rest. Campbell and Fluker were put off for mixmg up on the ice." ‘The Advance admitted that the Fallsy had a strong and wellâ€">alanced team and won on the merit of the play. Oscar Cox proved a valuable man in this | game. Twenqy years ago Dr. McInnis was reâ€"glected mayor by acclamazion. ‘There were eleven nominated for counâ€" cil and as all qualified an election was necessary. The retiring public school trustees in 1921 were reâ€"elected by acclamation. The school board for 1922 was: D. Osâ€" tosser, B. E. Martin, W. G. Smith, H. J. Marshall, Dr. Porter, and J. W. The festival of St. John the Evangelâ€" ist was observed at Golden Beaver Lodge, A. P.â€" A. M. on Dec. 27th, 1921, with the. usual ceremonies and social good time following. R.W. Bro. N. J. McAulay, of Haileybury, was the installing offi¢er and he, was assisted by R.W. Bro,~C. G. Williams and W. Bros. ‘G. R. Vary, H. Webi, E. L. Longmore and W. W.

Skelly, After the installation a banquet and programme of a high order were enjoyed by the members. . ® At the closing meeting of the ‘own council in 1921 Mayor McInnis took occasion to express his appreciation of the good work of the town councillors during the year. ‘The mayor expressed the opinion that the 1921 council had given such ‘houghtful and unselfish service that he hoped that each and every member would be back at the council board for 1922 to carry along the municipal work so well attended to during the year, 1921. . Reference was made in The Advance twenty years ago to several Chrisimas trees in town, there being special reâ€" ference for twoâ€"the Salvation Army and the Caledonian Society, because they were made so wide in their scope. In addition to the ‘Christmas tree the Caledonians had the children sing, reâ€" cite and dance. Consulting of Local Employment Officer Urged by Official The importance of consulting your local Employment and Claims Officer when there is doubt as to whether or not any worker or group of workers is insurable was emphasized last week by Mr. G. E. Charron, manager of the local Employment and Claims Office. According to Mr. Charron, some emâ€" ployers are making their own decisions as to the insurability of their emâ€" ployvees. Mr..Charron stated that rulings have been made already by the Commission in a largo number of special cases. iIt is essential that these rulings be folâ€" lowed in every case where they apply, Decaus;> btnefit is not payable if conâ€" tributions have been made on behalf of.a worker when engaged in an emâ€" ployment which is not insurable. Further, it is important that such special cases should be determined with th2> leas; possible delay. Mr. Charron revealed that certain employâ€" ers who had erroneously excepted some of their employvees in the first ins:ance, later tried to correct the error by deâ€" ducting contributions from wages reâ€" troactively, This again is contrary to the Act. Only current may be deducted from a worker‘s wages. If an employer neglects to register inâ€" surable employees, he makes himself liable for both his own and the workâ€" ers‘ back contributions. Still another error has arisan in many special ins‘ances where the Comâ€" mission‘s rulings were not ¢hbtained, Mr. Charron asserted. It is in connecâ€" tion with the collection of contributions for "broken periods." It should be unâ€" derstood that either five or six days may represent a full week‘s work for an employee. .Deductions in such cases should be made on a full weekly basis. In certain special cases, where employâ€" er and employee are in agreement, a fourâ€"day week may also represent a full week‘s work. Contributions for less than a week, however, should be made on a daily basis. For example, if a worker earns WHAT HAPPENED AT Story MOLLY BALSON: A young London nurse, specializing in the care of childâ€" ren.

The same rule applies to employees working less than the ordinary number of hours which normally constitule their regular working day. For these, a daily stamp, the class of which is determined by the actual money earned in the days worked, should be placed in the insurance book for each day on which work is done. For example, a man works two hours on Monday, eight hours on Tuesday and four hours on Wednesday, and is paid 40c an hour. His earnings for the ‘three days are therefore $5.60 and his average daily earnings $1.87. Multiplying $1.87 by six, places his earnings in Class 3. Threeâ€"sixth of a 43c weekly stamp should be affxed and nine cents deâ€" ducted from the man‘s earnings.

It was an odd vision, and oddly disturbing; and she was startle out of her concentration upon the spot where i; had appeared by the sound of light footsteps sudden upon the flags at her back.
