In October 1935, accotding to a reâ€" port in The Advance all that â€" the Timmins Senior hockcy team needed was a gymnasium, or better still a good big sheet of ice. The team looked good on paper and sounded even betâ€" ter from the remarks made about the players from their hometom They had a get-together at the fire station with the .executive and coach Wilf Loughlin. Everyone seemed toâ€" be happy about it all, from pres‘dent E. A. F. Day down to the stick boy. The club was in need. of, funds for new equipment so it was decided to have The Consumers Coâ€"operative S"ciety opened their fine new store on Fourth Avenue in 1935, just around this time in October. y 3 Creator of "The. Gumps‘"‘ famous cartoonist comic strip, Sydney Smith, was killed instantly in an, automoblle crash, ten. years ago. _ One of the main events was the preâ€" sentation of trophies won by the memâ€" bers of the club during the s2ason. Mr. W O. Langdon very ably officiated and â€"also spoke of tenn!s in Timmins number of years previously. Misg Ann Scottâ€"was presented with the~cupâ€"for »the ~Ladies‘â€"Singles ~comâ€" petition and it was made her perâ€" manent posses:sifon, she. having won the trophy three years in succession. Mr. Wim. Dunn was presented. with the Louis Halperin trophy, symbolis of the Men‘s Singles champlonship. Both winners also, received individual cups which were given by the club.

A woman charged with selling the return half of her excursion ticket pleaded that she did not know that it was against the law. ‘ . Overcome by powder fumes in a raise on the 3,000 foot level, ten years ago, Daniel P. Burns, age 25 and Paul Cote, were pronounced dead after docâ€" tors, had worked all night in an atâ€" tempt to: resuscitate them. It. was supposed that the men, who were working in the raise alone, went back in to find out why one oi the charges they had set did not explode. When they did not appear at the end of the shift, an alarm was raised and the shift boss had an investigation made immediately.= The bodies were found and it was hoped that a spark of life still existed. They were rushed to the surface and Drs Greig and Kelly called. Trophies won during the year were presented to Mrs. T. R. Langdon, winâ€" ner of the handicap trophy; Airs. Burke runnertâ€"up; Mrs. Robinson, winâ€" ner of the first flight in the 18â€"hole ringer; Mrs. Burke winner of the scâ€" cond flight; and Miss Garrow, winner of the nineâ€"hole ringer. , â€"~Ducks and geese were plentiful in the Moosonee area in the fall of 1935, reported J.
