Another very important point of this historyâ€"making event is the fact that several entries are already in and Bob Crosby, manager of the Comâ€" munity building, is ready to receive entries from all that may wish to enter the bonspiel. All skips throughout the North are urged to send in their enâ€" tries now. What is believed to be the first Sumâ€" mer Curling Bonspeil ever held on the North American continent, and for that matter the whole world, will be held at the McIintyre Arena, Schumacher, on August 23rd to 26th, Curling enthuâ€" slasts of the district are all "het up" about the decision of the McIntyre Community Building to keep the ice plant running for this great innovaâ€" tion. First Summer Curling Bonspiel to be Held at Mclntyre, Aug. 23 to 26 Eventually, the meeting agreed that Councillor Gladstone should draft a resolution to be forwarded to the Ontâ€" ario Municipal Association and to the Ontario Government.

Proâ€" ceeds to be Used to Send Gifts of Cigarettes Overseas. Dr. Harper added a few words from his long experience in mining areas. He referred to the difficulty of decidâ€" ing the proportion of the two diseases. Sometimes, the only sure decision could come only after a postmortem. There were some cases discharged as tuberâ€" culosis that later were definitely found to be silicosis. Councillor E. W. Gladstone referred to the many cases where claims were made for compensation for silicosis but the cases were classed as tuberculosis and there was no compensation He made reference to some of what be termed borderline cases, where there were traces of silicosis but the case was classed as a tuberculosis case. Councillor Gladstone felt that especialâ€" ly in cases where both diseases were preéesent, even though tuberculosis were the chief trouble, should be classed as occupational and subject to compensaâ€" tion. There did not appear to be any doubt but that those with a touch of silicosis were prone to contract tuberâ€" culosis. Councillor McGuire pointed out that tuberculosis was an active and progressive disease, wlhile silicosis apâ€" peared to stop with the stopping of exposure. This added to the difficulty of fairly assessing the degree of the two diseases. Councillor McGuire also asked amâ€". endment to the Workmen‘s Compensaâ€" ] tion Act to reduce the present time in regard to exposure to conditions conâ€" ductive to silicosis. Councillor McGuire‘s presentation of the case in Teck township resolutions inspired considerable discussion. Counâ€" 1 cillor Spooner suggested that a branch 1 of the Workmen‘s Compensation Board I in the North might expedite matters | under the Act. Councillor McCGuire could not see a branch office as filling the need. He pointed out that the| Workmens Compensation Board held | the standing of a judical body and so branches. were. secarcely practical, _A claimant‘s advocate. however, would be a very desirable official and would prove very useful. He should be paid by thel government, but always at the service of the mine workers. | While a detailed report of the proâ€" ceedings of the Association of Northern Mining Municipalities is given elseâ€" where in this ssue, one part of the proceedings deserves very special menâ€" ton. This part was the discussion aâ€" rising from the resolutions presented by Kirkland Lake delegates (Teck townâ€" ship) in reference to silicosis and other matters in connection with the Workâ€" men‘s Compensation Act. Councillor M. T. McGuire introduced the Teck township resolutions. One of these reâ€" solutions again urged the appointment of a claimant‘s advocate to expedite the consideration and decision in casps coming under the Workmen‘s Compenâ€" sation Act. Councillor McGuire pointâ€" ed out that claimants now were often unable to present their cases fully and clearly.. The appointment of claimâ€" ant‘s advocate would right this source of frequent delay and injustice and would assure to all concerned prompt and fair action. The proposal seemed to meet with general approval.

One was on Friday at 11.32 pm. The police noticed a Ford iruck parked at 15 Birch street north and on fire apparently from a leak in the gas line. The police phoned the fire department and the firemen stoppâ€" ed that fire. The other call was on Sunday morning to 155 Bannerman avenue. The tenant, Mr. O. Goulet, was berryâ€"picking, but the fire had started around the chimney and had done ground $500.00 damage before it was knocked out by the fireâ€"fighters. The firemen used 1,000 foot of hose in the battle. was about $100.00 damage done, but after they arrived there was no more. There was no insurance in this case, Tuesday the firemen had still another unusual call. It was to 101 Seventh avenue. The owner of the house was in bed asleep, but someone had left a hot plate turned on in the kitchen and this set fire to some boxes in the room. Before the firemen were called there Timmins firemen are getting a great name as fixers of pretty nearly any kind 6f trouble. They can be depended upon to da. almosb ranything from resâ€" cuing a pet cat from a pole to glvmg aid. in drowning or aspfnxlatlon oases But this week they hadâ€"anew one. A lady was ungble to Hanigyout her washing because of a wasps‘ nest close to the clothes line. So she sent for the fire brigade. A couple of fireâ€" men went up to 131 Tamarack street and with a pole knocked down the wasps‘ nest. The washing was put out in safety. That was on Monday. The same day the firemen had another odd chore to do. They were called to 49 Fourth avenue and found a lot of smoke vithout any fire. There were fumes that would eventually have driven the family a block away. But there was no fire ,though most of the occupants had tears in their eyes. Of course, the firemen found the trouble. It was causâ€" ed by a quantity of thermogene wool that had been put in the kitchen stove. This stuff was smouldering away, the smoke was so heavy that it would not go up the chimney, but seeped out of the stove top and sides. Taking out the thermogene wool from the stove remedied the trouble. Timmins Firemen Give Most Unusual Service These Davys Removing Wasps‘ Nest So Lady Can Hang. O ut Washing Just Routine.
