Funeral Last Week of the Late Mrs. Olivier Lafond Sturgeon Falls, Sept. 1â€"Largely atâ€" tended by relatives and friends, the funeral of Mrs. Olivier Lafond took place on Monday, August 23, at nine o‘clock, in St. Therese Church, Cache Bay. Rev. Conrad Daigle officiated. ‘"My wife was very much with me in this decision," he concluded. "I have tried to give you the best that I could. I will try to do what I can as Bishop of Moosonee." "I spent 14 years in that country going there as missionary at the age of 2i," he said. "In those days the Inâ€" dians, now a minority, were in the maâ€" jority." On his election this week Inâ€" alan missionaries and delegates sent him a telegram stating: "Your old friends the Indians hope you will lead them," Bishop Renison said. Moosonee looks to Toronto politicâ€" ally,, geograpically and spiritually, he said. "St. Paul‘s needs a rector at the peak of his power," he went on. ‘"The time would have come in a few years when it would have been passed to younger and stronger hands for the good of the church." _ "St. Paul‘s is a great church, which has not yet reached the fulfilment of its ideal," he stated. ‘"You don‘t yet know what the church can accomplish ior God and the people," He added with a twinkle: ‘"This congregation afâ€" ter surviving my rectorship can do anyâ€" thing" ‘"Toronto is one of the great cities of the world," he continued. "It is the heart of the British feeling that has meant so much to the British Empire, and if Canada fulfills the destiny which I believe lies before her, Toronto will have had a share in that achievement. There is general pride and pleasure in the election of Bishop Renison as Bishop of the Diocese of Moosonee, which includes the Porcupine Gold Camp and the large area lying north of here, Accordingly, there will be more than passing interest in the following report from Monday‘s Globe and Mail in reference to Bishop Renison‘s adâ€" dress to his present churchâ€"St. Paul‘s Church, Toronto, on Sunday of this "I have never made such a realistic and solemn decision, and I feel that I owe the great congregation that has meant so much to me some statement of the inner reasons which prompted it." ‘Bishcp Renison said. "I feel that there is a job in Moosonee that néeds Ne.'\.le';'-'i')lected Bishop Tells Reasons for Decision Outlining reason for his decision to leave St. Paul‘s Anglican Church after 11 years as rector, Right Rev. R. J. Renison spoke to a congregation that filled the church Sunday morning as to a personal friend.

FALL TERM THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO at the 8 4 \ + 8 First Class Completed By Fifth Troop Members The first goal of all good Scouts, the rank of PRirst Class, has been attained by four members of the Fift‘h Timâ€" mins Troop, Stanley Holson, Peter Lucâ€" ciantonio, Ernie Hefferman and Egidio Didone. These boys, travelling in pairs, set out at different times on Thursday of last week for their overnight jourâ€" ney. Travelling by map and compass they proceeded by different routes to McKay Lake, south of the old Jodelo Mine, most of the distance being traâ€" velled through rough bush country. Upâ€" on their arrival at the lake they proâ€" ceeded to pick out and makeâ€"ready a campsite which was to be home to them for the next three days. Shelters were built, fireplaces constructed and all conveniences of camp life prepared in short order. The Scouts were allowâ€" ed to use only ‘the materials supplied by Mother Nature in building their campsite, and they did an excellent job of it. The shelters were large and comfortable and gave assurance of proâ€" tection should the weather man decide to become temperamental. All equipâ€" Travenna have each completed the reâ€" quxrements for . the Tenderfoot rank,. and are now awaiting investiture." The ceremony iis ‘scheduled to take place \Trithm the next coluple of weeks. Plans are being discussed for a special meetâ€" ing to which the Scouts will bring their friends. The nature of the meeting has not as yet been decided upon, but if the weather man is kind it will be held outdoors and all are assured of a good time. T U Sixth Troop Enjoys e Outdoor Meeting Members of the Sixth Timmins Troop last week held another of the outdoor meetings which have become so popâ€" vlar with the members. Assembling at the : TAons‘ :Club__Hall:â€" a6. 6 p.m." on Thursday, the Troop proceeded to one of their favorite spoits under the leadâ€" ership of Scouter King. The Troop was then divided into three groups, one practicing signalling, another tracking and the third concentrating on comâ€" pass work. Much experience was gainâ€" ed by the boys in each group. Martin Kosobuski requires to pass only signalâ€" ling and tracking to complete the Secâ€" ond Class tests, and he assures us that he will be qualified to wear his badge very shortly. Adrian Landers, Roy Hcbbs, Ken Travenna and Charles Fifth Troop Wins Drew Trophy The Fifth Tiinmins Kiwanis Troop has again been declared the winner of the Drew Trophy for the best Troop campsite, according to Gilwell standâ€" ards. The Drew Trophy has long been the coveted possession of the Troop showing superiority in this field, and| goes to the Fifth Tmimins for the secâ€" ond year in succession. Until recently the trophy was awarded to the Troop producing the best model campsite in connection with the Association‘s anâ€" nual Hobby Show, but with the exâ€" pansion of camping activitiee locally it was last year decided that the troâ€" phy should be awarded for actual campsites rather than models,. Each Troop camp is visited by members of the camping committee and execu‘live committee of the Local Association, and inspected in every detail. The inâ€" spction follows a prescribed form, and each examiner submits a report and: the grading of each camp. Upon the completion of the camping season the camping committee meets to go over the reports and to decide on the winâ€" $ ment used was carried in the boys‘ packs, including blankets, cooking utensils, food and everything else that was required. The camp was visited on Saturday afternoon by Scout Master Basciano of the Fifth Troop and also by Messrs. Lawry and Greene of the Local Association. Following the inâ€" spection the Scouts broke camp and set out through the bush for Flynn Lake where they planned to spend the night. Travelling again by compass and map the Scouts encountered considâ€" erable stretches of muskeg bog and were forced to change their course, arâ€" riving at the Naybob Mine during the evening. The following day they proâ€" ceeded to town, completing one of the most profitable from the viewpoint of experience and enjoyable camping trips they had ever taken part in. The First Class hike requires the Scouts to spend one night on the trip, but these four Scouts were also working for their Camper‘s ‘Badge which requires them tp stay out on such a trip for 72 hours. Both objectives of the hike were achieved with apparent ease, and we feel sure that Stan, Egidio, Ernjie ELLEN M. TERKRKY, Principal. BOY SCOUTS Seventh Troop Scribe â€" Right on the Job Ray Hunt, the new Scribe of the Seventh Timmins Troop, is right on the job and sends in a report every week of the activities of his Troop. Last week, he reports, the Seventh held their meeting at the Hollinger Hall and the Scouts were given some practical instruction in first aid, with everyone irying his hand at bandagâ€" ing, artificial respiration and other useâ€" ful points. Several interesting games were also played by the ‘Lruop, and Promising Scouts: Leave Town It is with keen regret that we learnâ€" ed thal two promising Scouts leove town this Wednesday in the perâ€" son of Ken and Junior Travenna. While comparatively new in the Scout family, both boys are members of the sixth Troop and were in camp with them at Wawaitan Falls this sumâ€" mer. While there they showed they had the stuff it takes to make good Scouts, and besides learning to play the game with everyone they were able to pass all the Tenderfoot tests with flying colâ€" ors. Much was expected of them durâ€" ing the coming year, but what is our loss will be Toronto Scouting‘s gain, for both have stated that among the first things they will do after their arrival in the big city will be to join a Troop there. GOur consolation is tha* they plan to return to Timmins in the spring, and we hope that they will then take up their Scouting where they left off. It wouldn‘t surprise us if they were to come back at least Becond Class Scouts, and we wish them the very best of luck and hope uhey will like their new home. as well as to their own boys and be present for this important meeting. As much publicity as possible will be givâ€" en the evenit that everyone may know of it in time to plan to attend. The next meeting of the Executive Commitâ€" tee will be held during the latiter part of September and further plans for activities will then be made. Executive Committee â€" Has Regular Meeting The regular monthly meeting of the Executive Committee of the Local Asâ€" sociation was held last Friday evening in the Municipal Building, a fair numâ€" ber of the members being in aittendâ€" ance. Following the routine business matters the camping committee gave GALLEY TWOâ€"WITH THE BOY SC 2 brief report of the activities of the summer, of inspection trips made *to the various camps, and announced the Fifth Troop had beemn decided the winâ€" ner of the Drew Trophy. More boys than ever before took part in the campâ€" ing activities of the year, and conseâ€" quently more worthwhile training was given the boys. A more complete reâ€" port of the camping comumittee will be made at the next regular meeting. The questiion of Apple Day was discussed briefly, and it has been tentatively deâ€" cided that the big day will be held this year on October 9. The President, Mr. W. F. Lawry, was asked to apâ€" point a committee to work with a simâ€" iliar commilttee of Scout leaders in orâ€"‘ ganizing the event, and more definite announcetments ‘should ‘be forthcoming in the very near future. ‘Ariothéetr im portant event menitioned ‘Was the comâ€" ing Annual Meeting of the Local Asâ€" sociation, scheduled for the month ofi October. At this meeting new officers are elected for the year ahead, reâ€" ports are received from all committee, and district leaders, and the feats and accomplishments are reviewed and reâ€"| commendations put forth for further| improvements in the training being' given the boys. It was asked alt thel meeting that steps be taken to as-l sure a good representation of parents | at the Annual Meeting, and it is hopedl that many of them will realize the’u” responsibility to the youth of the town | and Pete are four of the best qualiâ€" fied Pirst Class Scouts ever to be trainâ€" ed in ‘this district. Unfortunately for Pete, another requirement of a First Class Scout is that he be able to swim at least fifty yards, and Pete is new at this art. He ltook his first stroke at Scout camp last summer, and this year showed further improvement, but as yet he has not been able to negotiate the tice as often as possible and pass the fil‘ly yards. We hope that he will pracâ€" tice before long. The four Scouts are now busy striving to earn their King‘s Scout Badges, and at the rate they have been going should be able to wear that badge before ‘long. ment used was carried in the boys‘ packs, including blankets, cooking utensils, food and everything else that was required. The camp was visited on Saturday afternoon by Scout Master Basciano of the PFifth Troop and also Blood donors were asked for from the Legion and several members took the necessary cards for this purpose. The clinic is to be held in the morning of Sept. 15 and 16. Any member wishing to donate blood to the Red Cross blood Comrade Austin Neame spoke of some graves at the cemetery not near the Legion Plots, upon which the names are near obliteration. It was deâ€" cided by the members that the branch secure the jprice for suitable headâ€" stones and have these placed on all graves not now marked with such lastâ€" ing identification. The War Graves Commission are to be communicated with to this end As is always the case the reports of committees gave the members a true picture of the work being carried on by these untiring members. Commitâ€" tees reporting were:â€"Pensions, Sick, Magazine, Cemetery, Scout, Cigarettes and Entertainment. was also quite a batch of corresponâ€" deice read. Some dealt with the memâ€" bership drive now under way, and the visit of Alex Walker, Dominion presiâ€" dent of the Canadian Legion. to the North. Both these matters came under discussion later and resulted in Presiâ€" den‘t Nicholson and W. D. Forrester beâ€" ing chosen to travel to New Liskeard to meet President Alex Walker on beâ€" half of the branch. A notice will be placed on the notice board asking for those with cars or those wishing to journey to New Liskeard to hear the president‘s address to register their names. The monthly general meeting of the Timmins branch, Canadian Legion, took place on Monday evening in the Legion hall. President L. Nicholson was in the chair. After Legion honours the secretary W. D. Forrester, read the minutes and financial standing. There Other Matters of Importance at Regular Meeting on Monday Evening.

Many boys who were Cubs last year will be,coming up into the great brotherhood of Scouts, and their placâ€" es in the iPacks will be taken by more young fellows who have been waiting for their eighth birthday to get into the game. Quite a number of possible changes are being considered to acâ€" commodate the ever increasing number of boys who are anxious to join. Seyâ€" eral of the Cub Packs will be dividing into two sections that more Cubs may be accommodated, and the same thing will likely be done in a number of the Scout Troops. It is quite possible that ajt least one entirely new group will be formed under the sponsorship of one of Timmins leading organizations, and it is expected that by October, whceih is annual registration time, more boys than ever before will be playing a big part in the greatest game of all. Don‘t be discouraged if you are asked to wait a few w »ks, or if you have alâ€" ready been tol®"something to that efâ€" fect.
