Upholstered furniture is feeling the war pinch about as much as any gory or clvilian goods. Metal for springs will no longer be available. . while webbing and heavy twine and hair and down are all out. Not to mention many favorite types of fabrics for covâ€" erings. You‘d thinrk that manufacturâ€" ers and /designers would give up with so many apparently insurmountable obâ€" 'stacles to face, but a survey within the past few days reveals a surprising amâ€" ount of activity and ingenuity among those whose business it is to keep us sitting pretty.

Theyâ€" must be absolutely straight grades of wood spring chairs, No Metail Used In Gilbert Rohde‘s studio the other day be saw a new war time easy chair in the making with no metal in its conâ€" struction; he was building a model which will be produced by one of the large manufacturers. The frame will by Elizabeth MacRea Boykin Phone 1875 A good idea for thse makeshifters is that old favorited for out of door use, the beach chair, This, with the frams painted in gn indoor color and with a ipretty fabric on it, would look quite alil right in an informal living room. The same goes for those small deck chairs. Though canvas will be continuously tscarcer, it is still to be had in some of the stores, and in smart plain colors or in sophistocated stripes such chairs would look very nice indoors. Or use a stout cretonne or twill for the purpose | if the weight isn‘t quite heavy enough, ! dowuble it. Automobile Upholstery Fabrics Cordurcy promises to be increasingly 'important for upholstery during the ! coming season. It is a stout fabric that can take a lot of hard wear, and it is made of cotton which is the biggest pdint in its favour. Now corduroy is available | in an alluring range of nice colors and in colorfast qualities. ,Then there will be many texture weaves, some automoâ€" bile upholstery fabrics, lots of staunch twills and cretonnes with printed deâ€" signs. Though many important fabrics are no longer being made, the fact is that most stores will have stocks of the fine preâ€"war materials that are marâ€" velous for reâ€"upholstery work on good old chairs. For a long time we have protested aâ€" lche gainst the unnecessary bulk of much the upholstered furniture. But Mr. Rohde, | for who cught to know because he designs ( chairs for the bigger better manufacâ€"‘tur Other ideas being developed for war era chairs include the stretched seat. This has a lot of smartness, but it isn‘t as comfortable as the padded chair. Various types of woven or laced seats have their points and will be introducâ€" ed. But no woven tapes or woven hands can be used for this because the machâ€" inery that makes them is busy on war contracts. the ‘bent wood principle is applisd to the front of the spring to give a soft edge to the front of the chair. Other ideas being developed for war Girl Scouts are reviving the old aft of vegetable dyeing. Here is a picâ€" ture taken at Camp Edith Macy where ieaders from all parts of the country are trained in practeal arts and crafts. THE PORCUPTINE ADVANCE. TTMMINS, ONTARIO turers, insists that the public prefer huge chairs. . . .the same chair without a lot of the bulbous padding wont sell as well as the fat number. . . .even though much of the excess padding adds nothâ€" ing actually to the ease of the chair. Mr. Rohdse feels that this is psycholoâ€" gicalâ€"the Bbig chair looks more comfortâ€" able. ‘Oddly enough, too, the smaller the room the bigger chairs the owners want; svelte streamlined upholstered chairs are usually used in huge rooms. Maybe that has something to do with inâ€" feriority complexes and selfâ€"confidence and suchâ€"like. Upholstered Chests Upholstered furniture these days does not confine itself just to chairs and sofas. All types of furniture undergoing basic changes in construction, and more chests and bureaus will be shown with upholstered panels. One very smart piece, a vanity dresser, is modern , in style with soft green damask covered panels on the sides and fronts. These panels come out for recovering just as does the slip seat of a side chair. The idea presents innumerable possibilities. We‘re all familiar with upholstered beds which have proved to be so popular. The many plastic finishes for all fabrics, which will protect their surfaces from soil and wear, will make upholstered chests and tables entirely practical. . . . these new plastic finishes are promised for civilian use when the war is over. (Released by Consolidated News Feaâ€" tures, Inc. The Advance twenty years ago had the following reference to the death of Mrs. J. Collins:â€"*"Deep and sincere is the sympathy extended to the bereaved husband and to the sisters and other near relatives and friends in the sad death on Saturday evening last of Mrs. Jack Collins. Special sympathy also goes out to the mother of Mrs. Collins, Mrs, Simpson, recently a popular and highly esteemed resident of Timmins but at present visiting her other chilâ€" dren in the Old Land.

This supper, like the rest that followed all through the camp, was worthy of a firstâ€"class restaurant and the lads had an appetite to make enjoyâ€" ment of the good meals sure. Thyo fine meals were prepared in turn by four paâ€" trols under leaders B. Alton, H. Ayotte, M. Cox and V. Ray. m ie mas A generous collection from the large congregation present evidenced the inâ€" terest and lovalty of the people and their pride in the beautiful new St. Anâ€" thony‘s church then in progress of conâ€" struction. The address was made by Rev. Fr. Cailer, asistant to the Bishop. After the ceremony Rev. Fr. Theriault There were over 1500 present at the ceremony. A platform had been erecâ€" ted and tastsfully draped at the side of the church entrance, and from this elevation the ceremony was conducted. for the convenience of those bringing produce from outside points. In discusâ€" sing the success of the market here, the mayor (Dr. J. A. McInnis) suggested that it gave every indication of developâ€" ing into a noteworthy benefit for the people of the town and the producers alike. Twenmn.y vears ago the town council decided to have the town motor truck mee+ the morning train on market days Those interested in the Boy Scouts in the North will find interest in the following paraghaph from The Advance of Aug. 30th, 1822:â€"*"Eighteen of the Timmins Bov Scouts in charge of Rev.

F. Martell, a voung man about 25 years of age, died in St. Mary‘s Hospital following an accident on Aug. 25th, 1922. The evidence at the inquest showed that a piece of rock fell on him while he was passing a skipway.

This is Mr. Hemstreet‘s first visit to the North Land and he expresses pleased surprised at the wonderful progress and possibilities of the country. He thinks it wouid be a revelation to the average man in the south to see and appreciate the imporâ€" tance of the mining industry here as evidenced by the big mines like the Hollinger, McIntyre and Dome, and the promising newer properties in the course of development. His attention has also been taken by the abundant evidences before him of the agriculturâ€" "There was some discussion regarding the proposal of the Hollinger Mine to instal a new main of its own to provide all the water required by the mine. The mayor pointed out that on the one hand the Hollinger‘s increased requirements in water supply could only be met by an addition to the town‘s vlant and equipâ€" ment that would necessitate an expenâ€" diture of around $200,000.00, and the town was‘ not in a position to finance such a plan. On the other hand the Hollinger was determined to have its water supply absolutely under its own contrcl, so as not to be dependent in this vital matter upon any other corâ€" poration. If the town were to refuse the use of the mains the mine could bring its water line through ocutside the corporations limits. In the event of the main being laid as at present planned the Hollinger would supply the town with water at cost, and the Hollinger would have a surplus available for any needs of the town in the near future." for a couple of years past."
