Although Sudbury beemed' to have the greater The South Porcupine correspondent of The Advance twenty years ago called:â€" attention to the fact that "Torâ€" onto financiers had wakened up to the fact that the Porcupine camp is the coming mining camp of Canada." This was demonstrated by the fact that the aforsaid financiers had been bidding on South Porcupine local improveâ€" ment bonds, even though they were not guaranteed by the Government. John Niemi, a resident of the North for several years, ‘was fatally injured in the West Dome Lake Mine twenty years ago, in the explosion of some powder set for blasting purposes. His helper escaped anp injury. The â€" "Autosleigh," invention of Frank G. Horner, was on exhibit in Timmins twenty years ago, and a company was organized here to manuâ€" facture this vehic‘e for winter. in the North. . The company was not able to secure enough capital to continue the manufacture . of many of these maâ€" chines through a few of them were in successful use in the North for years. It may surprisyg some to know that Northern Ontario organized hockey is over thirty years Oold. Yet that fact is shown by an item in The Advance twenty years ago. In 1924 there was some difficulty in arranging thescheâ€" dule of games for the northern group of the N.O.H.A. In commenting on this, The Advance twenty years ago says that 1924 was not the only year to hit that difficulty, but that in 1914 it took two official trials before the final schedule for the season could be anâ€" nounced. Twenty years ago Timmins, Troquois Falls and New Liskeard made up the semior group in the N.O.H.O. The Porcupine Aadvance has always seemed to take a special delight in mentioning _ unusual incidents, . so twenty years ago it had a particular paragraph for an affair or affray in town. Two men, ~The Advance said twenty years ago, visited the police station on the same evening. The first to arrive said that he had been in a fight and his opponent had bitten off his nose. The story ~was true on the face of it, or him. A. little later aâ€" nother man came in to report that he had been stabbed in the arm by a friend. He also bore the trut}y ofâ€" his story in his arms. The police were acâ€" customed hearing of men being stabbed in the back at this time of year, but did not want anyone stabbed stabbed in the arm at any time of the year. The man who had been stabbed in the arm said that he had bitten off the other man‘s nosse to save his own face, While it was quite true that the second man felt all cut up about the affair, the police did not consider it in good taste to bite off noses, so both men were given medical attention, and both locked upâ€"in seperate cells. Twenty years ago The Advance made special mention of a tragedy at Cobalt that had in it also something of a miracle, An â€"18â€"yearâ€"old lad, Charles McGinnis, fell 160 feet in a shaft at the Keeley Mine. The tragedy was that the lad was instantly killed, and the miracle that none of the 112 sticks of dynamite that he had in his arms exploded. Had the dynamite exâ€" ploded there would have been further loss of life, to say nothing of the damâ€" age to property. The Advance of Dec. 17th, 1924, said : â€"‘‘The opening of the handsome new theatre in Timimins is expected to be very early in the new year, perhape on New Year‘s night. The building is practically completed but the equipâ€" ment and furnishings are not all ready for use. However, it is only a matter of days now till, the big new building will be formally opened."

Up to the end of the month of November, 1924, Sudbury took in $21,260.85 in O.T.A. fines (the town‘s share of the tax on blindpigâ€" gers),.~ The Advance‘s answer to that was:â€""But Timmins received $21,576.â€" CQ0 in the same period.

Wednesday afternoon, December 20, the Women‘s Missionary Society of Trinity United Church held their Christmas service in the church hall. There were a large attendance of memâ€" bers and friends present who enjoyed singing the Christmas carols. The sum of $15 per month which is apâ€" plied towards the cost of maintenance Another type is known as class 2. Those in this class are service perâ€" sonnel discharged from the service as ‘"medicaly unfit" direct to the Departâ€" ment of Veterans‘ Affairs for hospital treatment. _ All such cases receive as hospital allowance their service rates of pay including tradesman‘s rate group or nonsubstantive pay in effect at discharge together with dependandâ€" ents allowances for any dependents they may have.

But, if he has sickness inâ€" surance which pays him $50 a month, the hospital allowance is thereby reâ€" duced to $52 per month. This ‘"means test" does not apply in any way to pensions. In fact, when a pensioner enters hospital for treatâ€" ment of a pensionable condition, he or she automatically gets 106% pension rate as a class 1 case, less only the T‘} xchange: â€" A demagogue is the )w who uses the thunder the other tician wishes was in his favor so ‘ould use. e worship service closed with the diction.
