Town Appoints Swimming Instructor at Riverside Swim Pool for Summer .A very comprehensive report of the annual meeting of the Ontario Assoâ€" ciation of Municipal Assessing Officers, mada by A. L. Longmore, town assessor was read at the council meeting. Expect Between 400 and 500 Children Will be Taught Enough About Swimming to Assure Their Safety in the Water. Other Matters at Regular Meeting of Council. ‘ne of the important appointments made at the regular meeting of the town council on Monday was that of E. R. Fisher as swimming instructor at the river pool. In reference to the appointment Councillor Spooner pointâ€" ed out that Mr. Fisher expected to teach between 400 and 500 children to swim this summer. "Of course," Counâ€" cillor Spooner said, "he does not exâ€" pect to make them champions, but he does expect to teach them enough that ' they will be accustomed to the water | and so be safe in that element." There were too many drowning accidents and if the appointment of a swimming instructor saved the youngsters from danger in the water, it would be we11| worth much more than the small cost | involved . The South Cochrane Progressive Conservative Asspciation met in reâ€" gular session at the Hotel Iroquois, at Troquois Falls, on Saturday afternoon to elect officers and transact other important business. G. Reaulieu was appointed supervisor of the Caneron street piaygrounds. Gerald Theriault was appointed as one of the lifeguards for the town. A wire was received from Hon. Mr. Macdonald, Minister of Naval Defence, Ottawa, asking for the coâ€"operation of the council in the "Stamp Out the Uâ€"Boat" drive. Council was) ready to give every coâ€"operation, but Councillor Eyre ventured the comment that a letâ€" ter Wwould have served the purpose just as well as the more costly night teleâ€" gram. A letter was received from H. R. Bielek, secretary of the Timmins Boys‘ Bugle Band pointing out that the Bugle Band had given every possible service to patriotic and community causes and was always anxious to help in any way possible. At the present time, howâ€" ever, it found it very difficult to finance its operations, and asked for assistance from the town. The Bugle Band pressed its appreciation of the kindly help given the boys in the past. Council passed a grant of $150.00 for the Boys‘ Bugle Band. Council has two applications for lifeâ€" guards and one as playground superâ€" visor among the other applications before it. Some weeks ago the council noted the need of applications for thess positions, and the matter was duly mentioned in The Advance. It pays to advertise. Mrs. W. Ackroyd and Mr. J. Ross apâ€" plied for refreshment booth privileges at the Gillies Lake park. FEach appliâ€" cation noted that they had stores nearâ€" by and so could give good service. Councillor Gladstone thought some serâ€" vice along this line would be of adâ€" vantage to the public. Council did not favour having a booth at the park, there having been previous difficulties in that connection. It was pointed out, however, that no license or fee would be required for the nearby stores to have boys to serve soft drinks or ice cream to the patrons at the park. Complaint was made to the council in regard to the biocking of the creek emptying into the river at the foot of Commercial Avenue.

This proâ€" perty was sold by the staker for a few hundred dollars but toâ€"day is literally worth millions. Sandy McIntyre prosâ€" pected in Porcupine and other parts of the North and staked a number of promising properties. He was widely known and popular with all. The late Mr. McIntyre was born in Scotland. He was 74 years of age at the time of his death. He came to Canada from Glasgow, Scotland, in 1903. He went overseas the Borâ€" den Battery in 1915 served| with merit in the. last wars Hechad been ill for some time and was receiving treatâ€" ment at Christie Street:hospital.

As customary in all accidents on mine property an inquest will be held into the death. With less than a month to go the political poti is boiling merrily in South Cochrane riding. The CCF. has alâ€" ready nominated a candidate, but it is said that all members of the party are not fully satisfied with the choice. The Liberals promise to be in somewhat similar position. The two names most prominently mentioned for the nominâ€" ation are Dr. J. A. McInnis, former mayor of Timmins, and J. Emile Bruâ€" nette, the present mayor. Both have their ardent supporters. The strong advocates of Dr. MoInnis point cut that he bore the party burden in days when the Liberals were in opposition and that he is entitled to a chance toâ€"day. Mayor Brunette also has his ardent backers. Both men have definitely anâ€" nounced themselves in the field, so there will be a battle at the Liberal convention atb Iroquois Falls next Wedâ€" mresday. Other candidates are menâ€" tioned but none of those who are ready to accept seem to have any large folâ€" lowing.

The story as told by Mr. April to the police is that a young man who he recognized as Desâ€" roches, came to his farm and asked him to draw a motor car out of a mudâ€" hole in the road. Mr. April did this and the young man drove off. When Mr. April reached his farm he found the young man there and thought he had come to pay for the service, So assured him that it was onty a neighâ€" bourly act and there was no charge. The young man then got behind Mr. April, and shot him twice in the back of the neck. Mr. April feigned unconâ€" sciousness and the young man went to the house some distance away. When he left, Mr. April was able to get on his stoneboat and drive for help. The provincial police were promptly on the spene and soon were joined by proâ€" vincial officers from Timmins and other parts of the North. Mrs. ‘April was found in the barn dangerously wounded and with her clothing torn off her. The hnouse had been ransacked from end to end.

After his arrest Desroches told the poâ€" lice that two men had kidnappéd him and taken his gun and that they had committed the murder. The police made very careful search for any trace of these two men, but could find no eviâ€" dence of their existence. . Desroches later is said to have admitted his guilt to the police: The Aprils were middleâ€" aged people who enjoyed the esteem of all who knew them.
