Mildred Morey, it should be noted, personally congratulated Lt Jos Lomâ€" as and his orchestra from the stage for doing a very excellent job undel exacting circumstances. They had hardly time to get acquainted and there was a constant change of proâ€" gramme. She also made special reâ€" ference: to Norman Amadio, who was the pianist during the whole week, Norman, by the way, is only seventeen, and Mildred said, definitely, that he as Mildrcd Morey herself saidâ€"is a fine figure of a man, was selected by name during Friday‘s presentation from among, th2 large audience preâ€" sent by no lcss a than Mildred herself to assist her in her act, and he fairly stole the show. It would nct be an ecasy matter to decide which artist from among the talented group who presented _ them- sclve:, nightly on the stage during the floor show predominatedâ€" in the! pubâ€"= lic fancy, because each turn was apâ€" plauded vociferously. The people of this north country know what they like, and if they find an artist to theil liking they hold nothing back. No group of artisis ever drew such warmâ€" hearted applause anywhere, as did Milâ€" dred Morgy, Louise Linden, Louise Burns and Clare Rouse, during the whols of the past week, and they merited all of it. At the close of the show on Saturday night there must have been all of 3,00) people in atâ€" andance, and they fairly raised the roof. Mildred Morey is a rare acquisition, that‘s putting it mildly, and her imâ€" personations of Gracie Fields sent her audience into fits, and she wasn‘t a bit selfish,. During her week at the Arena she started quite a number of goodâ€"locking men on their stage careers. In fact, a ctrtain handsome, upstanding sergeant of police, whoâ€"â€" And he thanked the officers and men of the Algonquin Regiment, the Kiwanis Air Cadets, the Lions Club Sea Cadsts, the High Sthool Army Cadets, and the newly returned men, all of whom, by their presente in the parade and at the opening ceremony, gave added prestigs to the Carnival. In his address to the crowd immedâ€" iately before the draw Comrade Al Wetmore, branch president, publicly thanked Mr. R. J. Ennis, Mr, Crosby, and the McIntyre Gold Mines, Ltd., the Hcllinger Cons. Gold Mines, Ltd., for material assistance in helpâ€" ing to stage the carnival. He also thanked the R:eve and of Tisdale, the Tisdale police for their efâ€" ficient control of traffic to and from the carnival, espezially during the parâ€" ade. In his speech Comrads Wetmore also included Lt Joe Lomas and his excellent orchestra, all the voluntéer workers, especially those who owe no duty to the branch, and the public in general, Legion Carnivals put on in this disâ€" trict have always been among the highlights of the Porcupine, but this year the Legoinnaires of Branch 88 have surpassed even themselves, if you can bring yourselves to believe that, and while we are congratulating ourâ€" selves on making a recordâ€"breaking success of this year‘s carnival we mustâ€" n‘t forget that without the full coâ€" operation and support of the people of the Porcupine the Carnival would not have arrived at first base.

Mrs. Johnston, for over forty years a resdent of Temiskaming, had been seriously ill for about six morths. Pallbearers were members of the Coâ€" ‘ balt Baptist Church, Messrs. Ernest Hartling, Jack Doody, Frank Barnes, | Earnest Nixon, Percy Lemon and Frank Richardson. . _ . % The late Mrs. Johnston went into the Tomstown district with her husâ€" band in 1904 and in the following year moved to Cobalt, where she had }c_ontlnuqd to make her home until glast. winter, when she went to Timâ€" mins.

Clare Rouse was more or less of a dark horse when he came north but ;he isâ€"without a doubtâ€"one of the most popular entertainers that ever ‘struck this neck of the woods, and struck is the right word to use in trying to describe Clare‘s act. He fairâ€" ly hit everybody for the count. He was a knockâ€"out, in other words. The arâ€" ray of instruments that he managed to drag out from various parts of his person was not only surprising, it was marvelous. It is not unusual for » musician to be able to perform on several instrunrents, but to be a firstâ€" class soloist, as Clare is, on every one of the number that he is able to proâ€" duce, that‘s a horse of a different color, and some of them are, to say the least, very unorthodox. It was fine to see so many volunâ€" teer workers turning out for the carâ€" nival and Charlie Wheeler wants it known. in particular, how much he appreciates the splendid coâ€"operation that he received from the workers on the bingo tables, and he certainly does appreciate it. _TEN YEARS AGO IN TIMMINS beautiful ‘voice, and she could sure tme t an~ â€" 69 ce B mans 00 ces o6 um 66 + 60 + um i8 mmb se ces | make ‘thatâ€" big‘ pianoâ€"accordian of hers | “"’””“"WWfi'wonu»owo““"“mw +# | talk.

Mrs. Fligg was highly regarded and useful in church and social circles. At the time of death she was 67 years of age. She had been living with her daughter, Mrs. Dunlop, for some time past, and alâ€" though not enjoying the best of health ‘her death came as a shock to wide circles of friends.

Bruce Millar officiated, and which was attended by many friends, the remains were shipped to Grafton, Ont., for burial." "Big Lignite Deposits in the North May Have Value," says a heading in The Advance ten years ago.
