Where is that city, any- how? ing the ceremony_ Many business places and houses and the separate schools were decorated for the occasmn while there were symbolic arches on some of the streets for the passing through of the procession. The impressive procr- sion left the Notre Dame de Lourdes Church about eight o'clock Sunday evening. Preceding the processicn p10- per went a group of little girls gowned in “robes of spotless white " and in other attractive colours, with appro- priate headdresses and wearing wings to represent a band of angels. These little girls proceeded to the High School grounds where an altar and repository had been erected. The little grils took places along-t the steps to the altar, the latter being beautifully adorned for the event by the ladies of the parish of Notre Dame de Lourdes. Carrying the Blessed Sacrament un- der a gold canopy was Rev. Fr. ‘l‘hcr- i‘auli, wi th Rev, Fr. Gaboury a3 deacon. and Rev. Fr. Maccabee as sub-deacon. The procession included members of the clergy of Notre Dame de Lourdes Church and the other churches in the town and district, La Federation des F emmes Canadiennes Francaisse, La Ligue Catholique Fem'mes, members of the Sacred Heart. members of the Cru- saders. Boy Scouts, Girl Guides...and members of other Catholic churches in the town and district. A. L. SHAW Ladiesâ€"25c Treasurer Herminigilde Lachance charged with receiving stolen goods. was bound over in the sum of $50.00 to keep the peace for a year. and the razor it was charge had been stolen was ordered returned to its owner. Lachance claimed that the razor had been left at his place apparently to be sharpened and he had kept it till the owner would call for it. The owner positively identified the razor bv certain marks on it, The magistrate pointed out certain discre- pancies in the evidence of Lachance and added that there' was not doubt as to the ownership of the razor. Joseph Belanger. charged with selling rationed foods for coupons priOr to the valid date of the coupons, pleaded guilty, but. his solicitor Greg. Evans ex- plained that while he was technically guilty, he had not broken the spirit of the law. All he had done was accept oeupons from farmers who could not get in town often. He was holding the coupons until they were due. When the Wartime Prices and Trade Board visited his store the coupons had only a day to run. Mr, Evans asked for the minimum penalty as the breach of the law was onlv technical. A fine of $100.00 and costs was imposed. There were over thirty cases at police court on Tuesday. but only one had much colour of interest. and that was due not so much to the case itself as to the attitude of one witness. This case was a charge against Felix Der- ouin of doing wilful damage to the pro- perty of John Jones, prospector and miner. The alleged damage was the sm‘ashing of a stove and throwing it outside the Jones cabin in Eldorada Township. Mr. Jones gave evidence as to the ownership of the stove and its value as being about $25.00, The stove had been broken up and thrown outside and the cabin nailed up. He did not see anyone doing the damage, but his one witness did. The witness told the court in very emphatic way that the accused did the damage. He did not see the damage done. “But I heard it." he insisted, adding that it must have been the accused because there wasn’t anybody else within miles, Mr. Derouin took the stand in his own behalf, and said that he had not touched the stove or done any other damage. When Mr. Greg. Evans, counsel for the defence was questioning Mr. Derouin the afore said witness interrupted and was es- corted from the courtroom. Magistrate Atkinson dismissed the case, aggreeing with counsel for the defence ihat there was not evidence to convict. the accused of the charge. Another case that had little interest, but does teach a lesson. is referred to elsewhere in this issue. It concerns a man who was sent to jail for three months for failing to obey the orders of the court for payments for the main- tenance of his children. Joseph St. Pierre was given 15 days for driving a car while drunk. He was seen bv police driving his car on and off the sidwalk. LHis driving license was suspended for six months and his car impounded for three months. Rene Serre was charged with breaking and entering the store of Mrs. A. La- pointe in Mountjoy township_ The bro- ken door was exhibited in court and Mrs. Lapointe told of seeing the accused at the time of the breaking of the door. She admited that there was another man there, too, but said that she was sure he stayed in the car that Serre was driving. Serre denied breaking the door and said he had seen another man there who might have broken it. The case was dismissed. There was another charge against Eerieâ€"that of failing to report an acci- dent. In this accident fence poles were smashed. a hydro pole knocked down and other damage done_ The accident put the local radio station off the air for some hours. but Serrc did not get any rebate for that. He pleaded guilty to this charge and was fined $50 and costs. Over Thirty Cases at Police Court This Week, but Most of Them Drab. Lorenzo Veilleux, for breach of the Selective Service Mobilization regula- tions was given one day in jail, after which he is to be taken to North Bay for the Army tests.

Be prepared to extend the hand of welcome early, and let it hold a spray gun, It is not wise to wait until damage is done before applying preventive treatment. For effective work a good sprayer is a necessity; one that will hold at least a quart of solution and spread it far and wide in the shortest space of time. A Cheap, ineffective sprayer is discour- aging to the user and is soon worn out. There is, even before this goes to press, signs of the cuckoo spit or spit bug, if you must have it that way, The spit hug genera-11y hides itself very discreetly on the underside of a leaf or at the juic- tion of stem and stalk and it 'muSt be looked for. It further conceals itself in a. ball of frothy matter from which it derives its rather inelegant appella- tion. although it is quite descriptive, Enclosed. in this ball of froth is a tiny yellow insect that fattens off the juices of the plant. At palice court here on Tuesday Joseph 'Charlebois was given three months in {jail if arrears for mainten- ance of his children were not paid forthwith. The man had been in court several times recently in regard to pay- ing for the maintenance of his children and a court order having been issue-:1 to him to pay so much a week, he was at court last week to show cause for failing to obey this order. Last week the case was remanded but when he seemed to be no more inclined to pay the amount this week, the magistrate gave him the alternative of paying the amount at once or going to jail. It would be well for all who may think they can evade an order like this to note this case. remembering that when the jail term is served the order will stand and if arrangements are not made to obey the order the accused will be liable to anothér term or several [terms in jail, These cases are not fre- quent. but it is well for any obstinate or perverse party to note that some years ago an Iroquois Falls or Anson- ville man went to jail on three suc- cessive occasions in a vain effort to evade one of these orders and in the end after keeping himself in jail for several months he had to meet the. order after it all. .- 00‘ .0 O.

The spit bug can be brushed off with the fingers and destroyed; a messy operation, not to say a tiresome one if they are very numerous. Spray with a solution of nicotine sulphate; one half-teaspoonful of nicotine sulphate to a. quart of water. adding a few chips of mild soap to the mixture to make it stick, Nicotine sulphate kills by con- tact and is intended for use against tender skinned insects that live by sucking; it must, therefore. be sprayed directly 0 the insect to get results. The spit bug is not easily detected unless looked for carefully. but they can do an infinite amount of damage in the border if they are not dealt with promptly. The first sign of their pre- sence is twisted, contorted foliage. The damage. however, goes far deeper thot that and if neglected it may be- come almost irreparable. Watch for this among the young annuals, al- though the spit bug does not confine itself to the annuals alone, The first spraying should clear the plants but it is advisable to spray more than once to destroy successive batches, Three improper parkings cost $1.00 ea‘ch and costs and there was the same penalty in each of four cases of failing to stop at stop signs. The cut-worm seems to be a little ahead of the season in development and activity; due to the hot spell that we had in Moy, no doubt. Most gardeners are so well acquainted with the cut- worm that some of them would proâ€" bably give up gardening entirely if he ceased to exist, although. to be sure. he is more elusive than sociable. Con- trary to the habits of most caterpillars the cut-worm feeds only at night, keep- ing itself under cover a couple of inches below the surface of the soil during the daytime, near the stem of a plant that it has designs on, usually. No insect is more industrious. Cut-worms attack all garden plants particularly those that are young and succulent and its first step is to cut the plant off close to the ground so that it is entirely des- tmyed. It grows to a length of an inch or an inch and a half when ma- ture. is dark brown. almost black in color. with a tough, leathery skin. A ample means of control is to moisten one quart of bran with water until it is crumbly to the touch, not sodden. To the moistened bran add one table- Helpful Hints on Flowers and Gardens Miss Dorothy Wilkins, who, for the past eight years has been on the staff of our High School will not be retum- ing to our town after the summer holi- days. She has accepted a positionas Modern Languages Specialist at Osha- wa Collegiate and Vocational Institute, and will be leaving South Porcupine on July 4th to take a Summer course at Laval University, Quebec. She will be missed very much in the sichool and in various circles outside of the scholastic. She has given a great deal of her time to the Girl Guide movement during her eight years’ community service and on Wednesday last the local South Porcupine Com- pany of Girl Guides under the com- mand of Capt. Clatworthy, invited her to a special party at their hall and pre- sented here with a cup and saucer of Crown Derby as a parting gift. 'Miss Wilkins has been an excellent teacher of French and Physical Cul- ture in our High School and is held in high esteem by the Board and pupils of the school. The District Guides (of which Miss Wilkins is 0.0.) held a special Guide Rally on Wednesday last in the H01- linger Hall in Timmins at which Miss Wilkins was guests of honour. Mrs. L. Sharp of Hallnor (President of the local Girl Guides’ Association) was present, and Joyce Rogers (South Por- cupine Guide), with representatives from each Girl Guide Company in the Porcupine Camp. acting for the Guides presented Mis‘s Wilkins with a tea ser- vice of Crown Derb'y china.

The mash is best applied just before dusk on a warm evening, just as the cut-worm is coming to life. Never ap- ply in the day time as the mash soon dries out and loses attractiveness, There are alternative remedies for combatting the cut-worm recommended by various home gardeners, but short of placing your cut-worm on a block of wood and hitting him with a mallet there is no remedy as eifective as the one outlined above.
