No official anâ€" nouncement has yet been made reâ€" garding plans for management for the future, but The Press is informed that at the end of the month the position will be taken over by A. V. Corlett, manâ€" ager, at ‘ldermac, for a time at least, in addition to his present duties. The party was an enjoyable one and among those in attendance were Drs. W. A. Turner and R. G. Kunkel and E. Lapointe, of Noranda. Mr. Knox made an effective reply in acknowledging the gifts and the kind words spoken, and expressing appreâ€" clation of the coâ€"operation he had alâ€" ways receivved from his coâ€"workers at Francoeur and the people of that area. He declared his personal belief that gold was still essential to Canada and his hope that Francoeur would conâ€" tinue to operate, asking at the same time for a continuance of fullâ€"coâ€"operaâ€" tion by employees with those who will follow him in the management of the area. The party was tendered by emâ€" ployees of Francoeur Gold Mines, Ltd., Aldermac Copper Corporation and the Arntfield Platoon of the Third Battaâ€" lion RC.E. (R.) and about sixty were in attendance.

The good wishes of all were tendered by the speaker, with the hope that he would return in the future to resume his duties. The following is from last week‘s isâ€" sue of The Rouynâ€"Noranda Press: Tribute to John Knox Jr. A pleasant party was held last Thursâ€" day evening at the Lookâ€"Out Hotel at Arntfield in honour of John Knox, Jr., manager at the Francoeur mine for the past five or six years and who was reâ€" cently named as manager of the Kam Kotia copper property in the Porcupine _ By‘late. evening the same day he was looking up the trains to Ashton Paul. (To . be Continued) The knowledgeable growers who hunted him up in the exhibitors‘ room that afternoon found him curiously abâ€" ’sentmindec}, and were mystified by ‘the mood in which he appeared to have lost himself. The very ;charming lady who poured tea for him afterwards grew coldly certain before the first cup was drained that his imind was upon anâ€" other woman; and was confirmed when he admitted hazily, in answer to her query, that he was thinking of Thea Vanhomrigh. What he wanted was to see Thea Vanhomrigh growing by her scores and her hundreds, in a walled garden in a Sussex village: and perâ€" haps to discover for himgelf what cirâ€" cumstances had attended her birth, and what was the degree of her creaâ€" tor‘s oddness. Did one merely write to such a man? No, for the answering letâ€" ter, if it came at all, would be a conâ€" ventional not devoid of information. No one went to see him. The only way to learn was by means of one‘s own senses Why not? He had plenty of time at his ‘disposal. As for Woodford, he should be safeguarded somehow; it must be possible to satisfy Hart and leave his gardener secure; and Jim had never found . overmuch difficulty in doing what he wished to do. Honoured at Arntfield on Leaving for Timmins He nodded, and ‘passed on slowly and regretfully along the coloured aisles of roses, threading the fashionable crowd with scarcely a glance and more than once, as he passed by the glowing bushes he/jlooked down at the bud in his coat, and was reassurgd that he wore the queen of all the roses. "I gather," said Jim casually "that Mr. Hart isn‘t an easy man to get on with." "Well, we all of us have our little peculiarities, sir, and I won‘t say he has more than most of us.‘" "Quite right, Mr. Woodford. I shouldn‘t have suggested the subject. At least he‘s done a fine job of work on Thea Vanhomrigh. She‘s magnificent, and I shall tell him so." "No sir. It‘s Woodford, sir, as a matter of fact, Joseph Woodford. But you needn‘t trouble to remember that sir, she ain‘t my work." His voice was regretful but firm. : affected Jim‘s mind considerably. For the gardener‘s face, as he protested again how odd a man was Mr. Hart, had not the shadow of a smile, but rather a dull tightening of all its lines, as if he had been reminded of infinitely but discreetly hated. Was Mr.; Hart really so odd a man that the sharing of his praises with a devout stranger was a thing to be hiddenâ€" from him with ease? ~It was difficult to think of this leanâ€"faced elderly gardener working with such a master for seven years.

Mr. Nelson was to be asked to give a figure on the work. The salary of the town scavenger was reduced to $550.00 per month as there was less work under the reversion to the old planâ€"of.collections, _once a week in the business area and twice a month in the residential area. There was a general discussion of the cemetery and the sale of lots there. A largely signed petition was received from the residents of Gauthier and Moneta asking for annexation to the town. The petition was referred to the town solicitor for further action, the council being in favour of the annexation.
