While going home Wednesday night, May 16th, 1934, from work shortly afâ€" ter 11 o‘clock, John Tegel, 14 James street, an employee of the Hollinger, was struck by a car on the hghway near the Rochester turn, and sustained serious injuries. His right leg was broâ€" ken below the knee and his head was lacerated. He was given first aid by members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and then taken to St. Mary‘s hospital. The man that hit Tegel imâ€" mediately made effort to escape from the scene of the accident. In getting away the car collided with one of the Dalton buses. The driver was able to get a glimpse of the number on the license and to note the type of car. The bus was damaged to some extent, but it was recognized that the car would also bear some marks of the colâ€" lision. The car put out its lights and sped away from the scene. The police were promptly notified of the accident and did excellent work in tracing the car. As a result of their work an arâ€" rest was made shortly after two o‘celock. There were about fifty Oddfellows in the line of march from the 1.0.0.F. hall on Sunday evening, May 13th, 1934, to attend divine services at the United church on the yearly occasion set apart to commemorate the memory of the late Bro. Wildey, the founder of the order. Several members from South Porcupine and â€"~some visiting brethren joined with the Timimins lodge in the attendance at church. Rev. Bruce Milâ€" lar took as his text, ‘"We are a colony of Heaven." His address was an apâ€" propriate and inspiring one. Rev. Mr. Millar referred to the characteristics that would make a "colony of Heaven," touching on the basic principles of love, faith, and truth on which the Oddfelâ€" lows build their order. Ten years ago it had been decided not to attempt to have a team in the Temiskaming Baseball League that year. But this did not mean that Timâ€" mins was dropping out of baseball. The plan was to have a local or town league and any interested could get in touch with E. Blais, of the Dominion Stores, who was taking special interest in baseball as in previous years and was finding much support and enthuâ€" siasm. It had developed to the point where it was practically assured that three teams would enter such a league, with the possibility of four. Those practically sure of having teams in the league were Town, Hollinger and French Canadians and perhaps Dome. The regular meeting of town counâ€" cil was held on Thursday evening, May 10th, 1934, and in spite of wet weather a large crowd was out. Mayor Ricâ€" hardson presided. Several matters were up for discussion one being the matter of a civic holiday, There was a request of Cochrane for August 4th, there being a big district day at Cochâ€" rane on that date, including the formal opening of Cochrane‘s new memorial park, and so that was the date proâ€" claimed by the mayor for the holiday. | The following motion was one of the most interesting and important of the evening‘s session dealing as it did with the town‘s athletic field: “Moved by Councillor Chateauvert, seconded by Councillor Maltais, and carriedâ€""that considering that this town is badly in need of a park and resting place for its everâ€"increasing population; that the corner of Second avenue and Pine street south, is dangerous on account of the fence at present erected around the playgrounds; considering also that in case of fire such a park would be of great help in preventing its spread over the whole town this council is of the opinion that the present playgrounds should be converted into a park, pro-f viding the Hollinger Gold Mines agrees to the cyanide being used in the future‘ as a playground. All expenses occaâ€" sioned by such changes to be paid by the town. That a copy of this resoâ€" lution be sent to the manager of the Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines Ltd., requesting consideration and an early reply. There was a very interesting event at the Oddfellows hall ten years ago, the occasion being Past Grands‘ Night.l There was a large attendance of memâ€" bers of the lodge and the evening provâ€" ed a very interesting and enjoyable one. Under the direction of Degree Master Bro. A. G. Carson, the teachings of the third degree were exemplified. After the work of the order, refreshments were served in the basement and a pleasing programme enjoyed. Comâ€" munity singing featured this part of the evening and there were also talentâ€" ed solos by Bro. Jago, T. Jones, T. Wilâ€" liams (South Porcupine). Bro. Ron Jones presided at the piano for the evening. The large attendance present found the evening a very pleasant and inspiring one. ) @4A A 0 o ts A c d d ds es lt is d d ds s M s ds y is ce d ds ds is ds ds ds es it s d ts ts O ies ts s n Esls .. ts INSURANXCE OF EVERY KIND Phone 104 Timmins, QOntario Have YOU checked u» to know how much YOU would LOSE if your building, household furniture, stock or fixtures were destroyed by fire?

Toâ€"day the average size of farms in Alberta and Saskatâ€" chewan is 433 acres. For Canada as whole the average farm size went from 198 acres in 1921 to 238 acres in 1941. It is easily understood for the west anyway, where extensive wheat acreage has become the accepted thing But don‘t get the idea that the farâ€" mer‘s importance has waned, because War brings him into the limelight more than ever. Our armed forces couldn‘t move forward toward Berlin and vicâ€" tory without food supplies, and rationâ€" ing has further awakened us to the importance of the man piloting the plow and starving millions throughout this beleaguered world call to him for assistance. Farming has changed in Canada. No doubt about that. The size of farms is increasing, in all provinces except Queâ€" bec. ‘With the opening up of land for settlers the fairly standard unit was 160 acres in the west, 100 in the east, One compelling item caught my atâ€" tention, and that was that in 1871 eight |ut of ten people lived on farms in small communities in farming districts, but toâ€"day that figure is only five out of ten. Six decades ago over half the people of this Canada of ours were needed to help produceâ€"theâ€"stuff which feeds today it only takes oneâ€" quarter of the population to do it. Mechanization, higher yielding varieties of seed, better producing cows, hens that lay more eggs per year, have something to do with that, of course. Yet, taking the economic aspect what‘s happening? In 1925, for examâ€" ple, our agricultural production was 4i per cent net value of all producâ€" tion in Canada; in 1939 it had dropped to 26 per cent. but in its relationship to the rest maybe has gone further down due to the expansion of factory proâ€" duction in war material. Just after the First Great War, in 1919, our agriculâ€" ture contributed nearly 29 per cent of the national income. In 1942, after three years of war, only 18 per cent of the income originated from agriculâ€" ture, but, of course, by far more than 1919 in dollars and cents. But don‘t get gloomy picture, because we‘ll shoot brighter figures at you. At Confederâ€" ation time, 1867, we had only a little over a million milk cows on farms, but at 1941 end this number reached over 4,000,000. We have toâ€"day 9,500,000 hogs om farms, about seven times as many as in 1881. (By Jim Greenblat) Information comes to my desk deâ€" signed to keep Canadian people inâ€" formed on doings on both the war and home fronts and it was with a great deal of interest that I got my hands on some absorbing data in connection with Canadian agriculture compiled by Frank Shefrin and J. Coke, economists in the Dominion Department of Agriâ€" culture. Statistics are sometimes dry material so I‘m sort of chewing the stuff up for easy reading digest. You may be asâ€" tonished at some of the figures, as I was.

In 1941 there were 550,000 fullâ€"owners of farms in Canada but 48 per cent of them had mortgages or agreements encumbering. In Saskatchewan that percentage was greater (with liquidaâ€" tion being quite heavy the last couple of years). Alberta and Manitoba rankâ€" ed next highest to Saskatchewan in that respect, Ontario stood about half way. Nova Scotia reported the least farm indebtedness. * Bornâ€"On May 6, 1944, to Mr. and Mrs. L. Saudino, Way avenueâ€"a son (Joseph Eugenio Robert). Bornâ€"On April 7, 1944, to Mr. and Mrs. C. J. N.

During the depression many small owners got into the tenancy class beâ€" cause of their being. overâ€"burdened with debt. In 1941 some thirteen per cent of Canadian farmers were tenâ€" ants, constrasted toâ€"nine per cent in 1901. In Manitobx@w, for instance on figures taken in 1941, only twoâ€"thirds of the farms were operated by owners, while next door Saskatchewan only a little over half of the farms were ocâ€" cupied and operated by the actual owâ€" ners. Here again we repeat there is a qualification, taking into considerâ€" ation betterment of conditions since then, all round. Quebec, however, stands out as the exception to the general trend, and here again let us remember Quebec is one of the proâ€" vinces which has not shown increase in larger acreages on average farms. That province in 1901, showed 90 per cent of the farms were ownerâ€"operated and that number grew to 93 per cent in 1941. It sounds grim to hear that not counting short term and intermediate loans, in 1941 the Canadian farmers reâ€" ported debts to the tune of $629,200.000 an average of $2,372 a farm. But conâ€" trast that with latest official estimates that the agriculural income in Canada for 1943 hit an allâ€"time high of $1,396.â€" 00C,000 almost twice as much as in 1939 and new light is thrown on the overall picture. Thirteen Births Recorded at Timmins Last Weekâ€"end Bornâ€"On April 24, 1944, to Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Hunt, Balsam North, at St. Mary‘s hospitalâ€"a son (Earl Gordon). _ Maybe this article will furnish a little dope for stoveâ€"league argument at the town grocery store gatherings. We ran into some figures on ownerâ€" ship of farms which give food for thought. Some of them will have to be qualified in the light of increased wellâ€"being of farmers particularly since 1942. in the better prices all round for the fruits of his efforts, but the statistics come as a result of the cenâ€" sus of 1941. The pasic principle of Dominion land policy has always been of course that the ownership of land should be vested in the person who operates it. .The nature and the huâ€" man element have always had a hand in upsetting calculations. There is one thing notable about farming in Mih and that is the increaseâ€"a definite oneâ€" in those who are turning to other lines to augment the once usual revenue from grbwlng of grains. Twenty years ago the Canaâ€" dian farmer depended more on the sales of grains, seed and hay for his cash income than he does now. Reâ€" cords of cash income for 1926, howâ€" ever, shows this. for every $100 cash he acquired from sale of farm proâ€" ducts, $52 emanated from sale oi grains, seed and hay; $21 for liveâ€" stock and only $12 from sale of dairy products. As contrast we jump to figâ€" ures for 1942 which tell us that for every hundred dollars only $21.50 came from sale of grains, seeds â€"and hay, while $38 was derived from livestock and dairy products brought him $21. Quite a change which reflects a new deal. for agricultureâ€"resulting from his own efforts. f There are undoubtedly more large farms, fewer smaller ones today and figures prove that. In 1901, only 13 per cent of Canadian farms were of 200 or more acres, but in 1941 almost 32 per cent of the total of 732,715 farms were that big. In 1901 there were alâ€" most 140,000 farms under 50 acres but twenty years later their number had declined to 110,000. and then taking into consideration that production d@f livestock is becoming increasingly popular. g (By Agnes Adams» Here are suggestions for the menus for a week of "Good War FPare."
