The same applies, and even more so, to firms, businesses and corâ€" porations. The town of Timmins, at the moment, is running on the raw edge of nothing, as far as reserves go; which, to say the least, is anything but healthy financial condition.

I gould tell you of many ways in which the taxpayers‘ money is being Ellen Terry Favors Canadian Girls More Athletic Cangdian girls are much more athletic, Mr. Dench says, than American girls, and realize that fancy skating is not all glamour but requires a lot of hard work to reach the higher rings. The only objection Mr. Dench has to girls is that they marry too soon. They average omly two to three years with the Iceâ€"Capades. Men, he finds, are much more serious about their work and are more apt to make Bkating their vocation. .. _Contestants hailed not onl north as Timmins to take part. > Obtaining ‘Talent Mr. Dench says that there was an unusually large number of conâ€" testants this year of which a few will be taken into the show as soon as there are openings. Some were disqualified due to their age, the minimum being 16 years. Auditions are held in every city where the show is put on, and this is the sole way of obtaining talent for the performance. ‘Toronto produces many fine skaters due to the excellent skating clubs, the Toronto Bkating Club and the Granite C‘:ub. Mr. Robertâ€"Dench who, with Miss Rosemary Stewart, is known as the "Poeticâ€"Precision Pair‘", in the 1947 Iceâ€"Capades Show, auditioned the amateur skaters. Skating Audition It seems that every week we mention more of Timmins‘ young hopefuls who aspire to greater things. This Thursday it‘s a number of young ladies from the Porcupine Skating Club who auditioned on Fri., Dec. 6, at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto for the professional show, Iceâ€"Capades. Trying out for a spot in the famous show â€"were Misses Jeannine Morin, Velma Popâ€" ovich, Doreen Keizer Madeline Landrevme, Mary Gomersich and Marjorie Cowden. The "Evening Telegram" carried this week an interesting writeâ€"up on the girls auditioning, and ran a picture of our own Jeannine Morin in a fetching skating costume, with a complimentary caption.> A group of asbout 20 girls were also pictured, with some of the Timmins girls shown. Christmas Honers Last Christmas honors went to the Everard home on Tamarack St. for the loveltest Yuletide display. The eves of the house were decked out with strings of coloreq bulbs and a large gailyâ€"lit tree sat on top of the veranâ€" dan. Wreaths finished off the picture, which looked as though it were copâ€" pied from a Christmas card. Wonder which homestead will achieve the envied place this year? To help in creating the Christmas spirit around your home, we‘ve heard of another method besides decorating a tree and the interior. Clip your surplus evergreen bows flat and tack them to your front door in the shape of a tree. Attach a few bells and balls and a brilliant red ribbon and, presto, you have as gay an effect as can be desired.â€" Or, make a large wreat White Christmas Worry was with us the beginning of this week.
