Twenty years ago John W._ Eedy, editor and publisher of The St. Mary‘s Journalâ€"Argus, St. Mary‘s Ontario, was a visitor to Timmins, being the guest of his daughter, Mrs., Arch Gilljes. He was one of the mos outstanding editors of the weekly press of Southern Ontario, and a most interesting comâ€" panfon. Widely travelled and widely read with a kindly outlook on life, his service to Timmins and the North in making this country. more widely and truly known was of great value.

In ‘*%he meantime Mr, Walter E. Segsworth, Twenty years ago Timmins received special invitation to join with Iroâ€" quois Falls in the latter town‘s famous Labour Day event. In those days Iroâ€" quoisg always psesented a remarkable fine programme for Labour Day, inâ€" cluding a big parade, sports, novelties, fishermen‘s events, baseball, fcotball, band music, etc. The Englehart Pipe Band was a special feature of the 1924 Labour Day programme. ¢ Twenty years ago there was a demonstration by the Canadian Nonâ€", Exhaut Pneumatic Machine Co.. their drilling machines. They gave the: demonstration on the big rocks at the: foot of Fourth avenue, Miners watchâ€". iIng the machines were inclined to‘ believe that the new machine had many points of excellence. The maâ€". chine was about oneâ€"fifth the weight of the ordinary drilling machines and ; so was specially adapted â€"_for transâ€" portation to mines at distant place The simplicity of construction of the new machines was another point in its favour. An editorial in The Advance twenty years ago dealt with the matter of unâ€" employment in 'I‘ixnmins. At that time, as in recent years, there was a tendâ€" ency for all in the South to believe that jobs could be pIcked up on the street in Timmins and as a consequence people flocked in here by the score. The result of all this was that there were always 'a number here who had no work and ionly little chance of securing employ- ment. It might not have been so bad perhaps, if all coming here looking for work had been miners They ‘ usually can be depended upon to look a{ter themselves and to leave. any place where there was a surplus of: labour and get to a camp where they were needed. But the trouble was that ‘all ts of mechanics, workmen used to nearly everything but mine work, and clerical help of all kinds, to say nothâ€" ing of common labour, flocked here by scores and were liable to become burden on the, town. The Advance warned them all that there was no work available here at the time and. that they would do well as a conseâ€" quence not to drift in here but to try some place where their kinds of were needed, Many may be surprised that the Hailleybury jail is less than twenty years old, or perhaps some may be surâ€" prised . that it is anything like as old as that. Twenty years ago, however, The Advance noted. that the .contract had béen "let" for the building of the new district jail at Haileybury, The Advance mentioning the type of buildâ€" ing it was planned to erect and the materials that were to be used in the building of it. Work was expected to be started on the building in ‘Septemâ€" ber, 1924, and the completion of the structure was to be hurried along. other â€" places where people lawfully slept, the council advised all the tax! men in any case not to have any noise that might be avoided.
