_ J| TEN YEARS AGO IN TIMMINS iâ€" yA m . . *Mayor Ooe, 8. Drew presided at the received from some of those mtema: to have a town inspector to look after the inspection of electrical wiring and installations, so as to protect both the public and those skilled and experienced in the work and paying taxes on their bu in this line in town. ‘The reâ€" quest was referred to the fire and light committee to donsider the request in all its bearings. Much of the time of the ecuncil was taken up with the discusâ€" sion of one more letter from a group claiming the name of the unemployed and apparently concerned chiefly with transients. After a lengthy disâ€" cussion, and several speakers voiced their opinion Mayor Drew said he was glad to see that the present letter was in better tone than some former ones with "demands" and veiled threats. He pointed â€"out however, that the town could‘hot give relief work to transients, a« there was not enough work for all the town‘s own needy. Also, the town could ngt see its way clear to providing chelter Or additional meals. .If the town went into anything like that it woud be swamped. These transients had some headquarters and they should look to their own municipality. The town was caring for its own and that was all it could do. To the suggestion that fome of the men had been away for monthe fxom their home towns looking Aor work, the mayor said that the town was look ,@_-after people who had come back ‘hére after being away for years. Every man had some headquarters and at the time of death.. He was surâ€" red by his widow, ~formerly. Roge Jia«. mobhe and a son, Leb,"and two dauglt= ters, Alice, and Robert.. Two brothers, Victor, of Clarence Creek, and Vital, of Ea:view, Ottawa, and two sisters Mrs. Clementine Beaulne, and Mrs. Samuel Amyot, both of Eastview, Ottawa, also survived.

Chartrand, and W. Thibeault. Aâ€"President Reg. Smith was in the chair at the Kiwanis luncheon on Monday. March 13th, 1933, and there was a particularly good attendance. Kiâ€" W}anlan Vince Woodbury was welcomed back to ‘his accustomed place in the club after an extended visit to San Anâ€" tonio, Texas. A letter was read by the secretary showing that other absent members:: of the club were keeping up the attendance record by attending Ki._ wanis meetings wherever they happenâ€" ed to find themselves. The speaker for the day was J. R. Alexander who gave a very informative address on radio, touching on the theory and principles of wireless communication and broadâ€" casting. The address was much apprec. iated by the club. s The following article was in The Adâ€" vance ten years ago:â€" "The director, C. W. Lewis, â€" his assistants, Mrs. Leâ€" wis and Miss Nell Sparrow, â€" the Timâ€" mins Kiwanis Club, under whose ausâ€" pices the eyent was presented, â€" and each and every member of the local cast presenting this sparkling musical comedy, "The Beauty Shop", â€" are being complimented and commended on y 46 0 zi w ut 4 the oustanding sugcess won musically, artistically,. dramatically firancially as a feast of fun.

Other matters were at the council meeting and Toronto in regard thorizing an appropriation of $3,000.000. for Northern Development purposes this year. Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Minâ€" ister of Lands and Fore:ts, gave the notice. This is the first time since the Northern Development came into opâ€" eration that less than $5,000,000.00 had been asked for. Mr. Finlayson had also given notice of a bill which would preâ€" vent nursery stock that was distributed free from his department being sold for a profit. j ' Among the local and personal items in The Advancte ten years ago were the following:â€" "Mrs. J. M.. Andercheck, 26 Tamarack street, returned this week from Sudbury where she had been visâ€" iting the past three months." "All will be pleased to learn that Mrs. H. R. Soâ€" pha is on the way to recovery after beâ€" ing confined to her bed for about four weeks suffering a relapse after an atâ€" tack of the "flu". "Mr. and Mrs. R.

They will also attend the Normal School "At Home" which is being held on Friday evening."

About Canadian Red Cross Headquarters | in London, England â€" Immense Amount of Work glg'rllf With Efficiency and ill. (Another in a series of articles writâ€" ten by W. R. Legge and C. V. Charters who represented the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association in a recent tour overseas) (By Walter R. Legge) There is a. large. building= in the heart of. Lo@pn in,. which g.band of busy workers; many:o vthem i:olunteer, to help alleviate the miseries caused by the war. It is Canadian Red ‘Cross Headquarâ€" ters. Last Auguss the Canadian editors went there and were shown some of the work in progress. These Headquarters occupy five storâ€" ies of a uilding loaned to .the Red Cross by Lord Crichley. The offices overlook Berkeley Square, a spot made famous in song and drama, which would scarcely be recognized by those who knew it in peace time. The iron railing aroung the Square has been made into munitions. This railing was a famous Georgian relic over three hundred years old.. The grass has ali been trampled down and trenches have been added to the scene of desoâ€" lation. i 8 Several buildings in the iminediate vicinity have been struck. Lady Wilâ€" lingdon‘s house on one Corner of the square has suffered a direct hit. U PE d e Inside the Red Cross building howâ€" ever, everything is clean and well orâ€" dered and the work goes on with quiet efficiency. ho _ Crates of suppiies are being unloaded, gorted, listed, and stored away in their proper places, or made into shipments to fill requisitions. Few péople realize the amount of work accomplished by the Red Cross, not only in quantity, but in variety. We saw them making up special parcels for prisoners of war, supplies for hosâ€" pitals and for sick and wounded, artiâ€" cles for babies of men on active serâ€" vice, replacements of articles lost by men who had Been shot down, torpeâ€" doed or bombed, and many other urâ€" gent needs. > It is posgsible in some cases, that the very lives of prisoners of war in eneny hands Mas depended upon the parcels supplied by the Red ‘Cross. Each priâ€" sonmer is allowed one parcel of food weekly. These parcels supplied by the Wtms on : .. idnss d o. umtc i i Mr. and Mrs. R. D Campbell, of bra and Trigonometry. This shows that many prisoners are anxious to put their ecnforced idieness to as good use as posâ€" ‘Those at work in the Red Cross headâ€" quarters went to great pains to show us around and answer our questions. One of them was Lady Ellison, who is douing work in the prisoners‘ departâ€" ment. She did similar work during the While looking at the boxes of goods sent over from local Red Cross groups in Canada, we were told that soldiers have an aversion to mitts, and usually will not wear them. As a result those sent over from Canada have to be made over into gloves. The great need was stressed for turâ€" tle neck sweaters, gloves, and seamen‘s socks. Last named are also used by airmen. On some shelves were more unusual items, such as maple sugar, and other supplies made in Canada. Some supâ€" pliles were being assembled to replace kits lost by soldiers at Dieppe. _ Handicrafts at all Canadian General 'hospitals are supervised entirely by the ~Canadian Red Cross. Staffs at all the hospitals furnisn materials for ruugâ€" making and leather work, and teach patients how to make the articles. The patients pay for the cost of the mateorâ€" lals, and are allowed to make a small profit out of their handiwork. _ The Relief Department at Berkeloy ‘Square ships out on an average fifty thousand civilian relief articles of clothâ€" ing per week. A constant supply of comforts to all services of the Canadian Forces is beâ€" ing delivered. Every week, on a regular delivery basis by Red Cross transport, and thence through the usual channe‘}s of supply thousands of woollen comâ€" forts are being issued to the troops. Every week, invalid delicacies, hospital supplies, cigarettes, chewing gum, games, pipes, etc., are being sent to General hospitals, Casualty clearing stations, Field ambulance.s, and to R. A. F. and civilian hospitals where Canâ€" adian patients may be A huge visitors‘ service is maintained throughout England and Scotland. Canadian Red Cross visitors (all volunâ€" tary) maintain daily contact with Canâ€" adian patients in Canadian Army, and British and Scottish hospitals, see that they get needed supplies, shop for them, and sometimes even write letters for them. Vigitors‘"reports in detail, are sent weekly to Bergeley Square, where information is collated, and, when neâ€" cessary, letters are written to nextâ€"ofâ€" kin in Canada. The Canadian Junior Red Cross supâ€" ports and has adopted eight residential War nurseries in England, and supplies clothing for the youthful inmates. Three more suchâ€"~nurseries are shortly to be adopted. *Less than one hundred years ago, the sufferings of wounded soldiers and prisoners were intensified by lack of care and utter neglect. Toâ€"day, thanks to the Red Cross, there is a tremendous change. One cannot help but be imâ€" pressed by the strides taken since the International Red Cross was organized by rules drafted at a conference in Geneva in 1863. The Canadian Red Cross headquarâ€" ters in London is a reservoir into which pours supplies produced by smallâ€"groups all across Canada, Thence in turn they are spread over a vast territory to fill a wide range of needs. No wonder it is a busy spot. Haileybury Man W ants Unusual Bird Identified J. H. Woods, of Haileybury, more popâ€" ularly known in Timmins and Schuâ€" macher as ‘"Happy" Woods is anxi0us to have some one identify an odd bird recently. shot down near Haileybury. It is certainly an odd bird if Happy Wood:; does not recognize it, for he has intimate knowledge of all the birds and flowers of this North Land. Referring to the matter The New Liskeard Speakâ€" er says:â€" "J. H.

He has had it mounted by Hugh Grady and it now adorns his Blackwall Street resiâ€" dznce, but the exact species remains a mystery. It is undoubtedly of the falâ€" con species, Mr. Weods smys, and reâ€" sembles a bird he knows as the "duck hawk" with the exception that it lacks the white throat which distinguishes that type of falcon. How it came to be in the district at this time of year is a mystery, as all the hawks are known to go south for the winter. Mr. Woods mentions cne or two possible solutions for the presence of the strange visitor, but cannot fix on anything definite lacking definite knowledge of the speâ€" "If you please, ma‘am,." began the new maid, "there‘s a strange woman downstairs.

Trevethan Hears From England j Some of our readers may recall that some time ago we recounted a very id description of an air raid as told by . an English Scout in a letter to Basil | Trevethan, Assistant Cubmaster of the. First Timmins Pack. ~Basil has recentâ€" ly received letter from this Scout, and he has passed it on to us that we may give you the news. The English Scout, John Cutbush, of Seven: Kings, Essex, tells about gneat gath~ ering of Air Scouts in London, coming from all over the country in thousands, to take part in a monster exhibition. John‘s older brother has recently reâ€" turned to England from Canada where he attended a western R.AF. shool and graduated as a Sergeantâ€"Pilot. John himself is now a member of the. Antiâ€"Aircraft Regiment Royal Artillery Cadet Force, and this occupies a great _deal of his spare time. ‘Through his Scout training. he quickly qualified as a lance corporal, and expects to be promoted to sergeant very soon. The training he is receiving in the cadetsâ€" will qualify him for a commission in : the ~army when he becomes of age.: Scouting activities are still a big part of:® his life, and his Troop has continued their regular weekly meetings in spite of many difficulties: Letters such as these, which show how our brothers are carrying on under often trying cirâ€" cumstances demonstrate the big part that Scouting is playing in this war, and make us more firmly determined to do all we can to help. In closing John Cutbush sends best wishes for the New Year from all his Troop to all Canadian Scouts. Let‘s all send our good wishes in the form of donations to the B.P. Chins Up Pund. f Parnets to Assist Cubs In Passing Badges Akela Gallagher of the Sixth Timâ€" mins Cub Pack has called upon the parâ€" ents and teachers of the Cubs to assisit them to obtain ‘proficiency badges. Every boy who is qualified to wear these. badges upon earning them was given list of the requirements of the Homeâ€", craft and House Orderly Badges, and when the boys have met these requireâ€". ments to the satisfaction of their moâ€" thers they are to return the slips, signâ€" ed by the mothers, and will receive the: badges. All boys who have played on organized hockey teams have been givâ€" en slips to be signed by the Coach of their team, and they will receive the Team Players Badge. All the Cubs are pretty keen on winning these badges, The new recruits of a week or two ago are coming along very well, all of them turning out regularly for meetings and learning the Tenderpad tests. The story of Mowgli was related to them by Akâ€" ela, and they also learned the story beâ€" hind the Grand Howl. The new Sixers and Seconds reported last week are taking over their new duties very satâ€" isfactorily. Two Cubs, Richard Nanâ€" kervais and Roy Hobbs, have completed their Second Star to:ts and this week receive their badges and stripes at the Pack‘s Hobby Show, being held on March i7th. Despite the prevalance of the flu, there were 33 Cubs present at [t,he meeting, and attendance generally was held up. Seventh Troop Makes New Plans For TT ' At the regular meeting of Seventh Timmins Troop last week in the Holâ€". linger Scout Hall, several new matters came before the boys and were taken care of by the Court of Honour. It was Field Secrelary to decided that the Court of Honour would meet every week, immediately following the regular Troop meeting, and that the weekly programmes woulid be decided upon by the Patrol Leaders and Secâ€" onds, after consulting with the Scouts in their patrols. ‘The Troop Scribe will take over the job of kseping the min utes of the meetings, and a Troop Quartermaster, who will be responsible for all Troop equipment will be apâ€" pointed. Plans were made for a numâ€" ber of the boys to pass their Scout Pace and a number of recruits are ready to pass their Tenderfoot tests. Interesting games were played, and the Troop had as visitors for the evening Group Com. mittee members Mr. L. Nicholson and B. Ketley, and Mr. Lou Hudson, who assisted the boys with the meeting. A rousing council«â€"fire programme rounded out the meeting, the Scouts showing just what could be done with a good song. More than 500 additional books and magazines woere brought in by the boys for distribution to the armed forces, putting the total to date up near the 2000â€"mark. New Recruitsy Swell _ Ranks of Fifth Pack qQuite a number of recruits have apâ€" ‘plied for membership in the Fifth Timâ€" mins Cub Pack during recent weeks), and last week, with sickness keeping some away, the meeting opened with 31 boys present.© Several Scouts; of the Fifth Trocp have been taking an active part in the iCub programmes;, and have been lending valuable assistance to Akâ€" ela Joe Lucciantonio. These boys inâ€" struct the Cubs in such arts as knotting, signalling, flags and other Cub activiâ€" ties, and also play a big part in the proâ€" _gramme of games. Last week P. L Jack and its makeup. Following sevâ€" eral lively games the meeting closed with the Grand Howl. place with the others of former Timâ€" mhins Scouts and Scouters who have joined the forces is that of R. H. "Ron" Tonkin. Ron is now a Sapper of B. Company, 4 Battalion, Royal Canadian Engineers, and has been overseas for some time. Ron had considerable exâ€" perience as a Scout ,and shortly before joining up wes assistant leader of the Pirct Timmins Cub Pack. Best of luck, Ron, and come back soon! The regular meeting of the Firsit Timâ€" mins Cub Pack last week featured the passing of a number ‘of tests Keith Cannell, James McElwee and Encio Eskaline all passed the ball throwing test, and Doug. Walli was successful with the Compass and Plag tests. A fast game of knotâ€"tying was keenly enâ€" joyed by the boys, and they are getting to be almost experts with knot ropes. Epecial instruction was given the Pack as a whole by the leaders, and the Sixâ€" ers also gave instruction to their own Sixes. Several other games were played by the boys and the meeting closed with the Grand How!l and the singing of the National Anthem. Fifth Troop Receives Mapâ€"Reading Instruction Advancing along the trail to First Class with a steady pace, the Fifth Timmins. Troop last week followed up on their mapâ€"making attemipts of preâ€" vious meetings with some instruction in mapâ€"reading. This is the type of work that is particularly appealing to the ‘boys, having a real ‘taste of outâ€" doors and the wideâ€"open spaces and the Scouts are lapping it up. Competition between the patrols is keen and close, and the plan whereby the Patrol fund © the winner is substantially increased hasr the boys right on their toss. In a knotâ€"tying competition, with the Eagles and Wolves coming out on top. ~Special inspection of patrol corners has the patrols all working on new scrgens and equipment. With Mr. Paddon‘sy visit just a little more than a week away, don‘t you think it would be very nice if he were able to go back to Toronto.and tell the authorâ€" ities that your Troop or Pack had passâ€" ed their objective with B.
