Yes, remember how you used to kick the slats out of your cradle when they were late with the sulphur and molasses? Buttons a shelf which Matijasz admitted buildâ€" ing. However, the accused man had told the constable that he had never seen the button before. Fred Mason, assayer for Dome Mine. testified that the seven buttons had been examined by him and were disâ€" covered to be brass. He said that tests had shown the presence of gold on the tongs, a hammer, the fireâ€" brick from the Quebec heater and on some of the crucibles. He declared it was possible to reâ€" duce gold using a Quebec heater, with borax as a flux. Under cross examination by Mr. Evans he said that the gold discovered on the equipment might have been present for several years. When called to the stand, Natasz testified that the bulk of the equipâ€" ment had been on the premises when he bought the property.six years 2%0. The hammer which showed the preâ€" sence of gold had been obtained from a man named "Englehart," who was some place out of town, he said. He said that he had never used the Quebec heater and that he had been using the tongs to remove clinkers from his furnace. It‘s Layâ€"off Time In Works Department In summing up for the prosecution Crown attorney Sam Caldbick deâ€" clared that the equipment was such that it would certainly refine gold. He declared that Natyasz had been caught in a lie when he told pol‘ce he had never seen the button which had been discovered in the cellar. He also deemed it improbable that a man could live on the preéemises for six years without discovering the presence of the articles police had found and the use to which they could be put. Mr. Evaons declared that no proof existed that Matijass had either owned or onerated a refinery. He maintained that the accused man oifered a reaâ€" sonable explanation for the presénce of the exhibits presented by police.

(Continued from Page One) on Saturday evening the entértainâ€" ment committee held its second fortâ€" nightly smoker and as usual it was well attended. Quite a large crowd sat around to listen to Joe Gladd and his orchestra, who entertained with a few opening selections. <m our vocal list was Réne Barrette who received a welcome and a big hand for his singing of a few popular songs accompanied by Ron Purchase at the piano. Next on the program was comrade John Tessier who gave us Guite a few selections on the acâ€" cordian at which he is an adept hand. He got many encores. Ousw Scots friend Bob Freeland zave us a couple old time Seotch songs which were sgiven in good style (Scots style) and were well received. In beâ€" tween the boys in the orchestra gave the crowd a treat with a few upâ€"toâ€" date selections. The next on the last was Len Spears of the Orphans Cholr who led the boys in some community singing and if you know Len, it was So «were Jim Cowan‘s hamburgers with delicious relish, straight from the chef, nice and hot, and did they go‘!

Maybe they had to wait there too. Comrade Joe Bourke was the lucky man chosen to take the Little Lady home. He wasn‘t on time but he picked her up later, but I don‘t think they went straight home, as I was told. The column congratulatés our new President, Bill Shields and his comâ€" mittee, comrades Gig Carswell, L. Hill, J. Van Rassel. M. Belanger, A. Neam#z, P. J. Dunlop, N. Goodfellow, T. Glaisâ€" ter, J.

The other five have gone. We regret veory much the passing of comrade Bob Russel who burial service was held on Sunday in the United Church with Legion Honotirs. The body was taken from the church to the station and placed on the train for burial in Toronto. The pallbearers were A. Jenkin, C. Sullivan, A. Craig,. P. Raymond, F. McLean and R. Van Op Den Bosh. Comrade Russel was a member in the.early days of the Leâ€" gion and un to the time of his sickness was a keen worker for the branch. This coming Friday marks the secâ€" ond of our social and dances, which are every alternate Fr.day. Those who have received invitations will be asâ€" sured of a good night‘s entertainment. Perhaps there are few who forget to return their cards, not being able to attend these particular nights and just never think of mailing the card or handing it in at the Club. This allows the committee to know that you received it and are not able to attend. You may be able to attend at a later date., so that is two in a row and you will know who‘that was. If you don‘t, it was Bill. Pennmgton and we certainly congratulate him and hope he sucâ€" We doff our masks, the November Skunk championshinp race is over and it was won by the October champion. To those comrades still serving overâ€" seas and those late of Branch ‘88" and Timmins we wish them the best, a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

The plan whereby mothers in On tario are provided with one free preâ€" natal examination every year, includâ€" ing tests for syphlis was inaugâ€" arated <a year ago last October the president of Branch ‘87‘ Kirkland Lake, Comrade Neal O‘Connor. We had been expecting a visit of the Lake Dart teams as I said before, Neal assures me we will have a visit as they had been talking about it. We have several Kirkland Lake members in town and we welcome them to our Club. Many have used the privelize and we extend invitations to those who haven‘t. They are with the Reyâ€" nolds Construction Co. Comrade Tom Glaister, who is in charge of interâ€"Branch games (that is darts) has an idea of having a three way battle. That is, if Kirkland Lake pays a visit to compete for the Gordcoa Countryman Trophy and South Porâ€" cupine holds the Trophy at the preâ€" sert moment. So it is un to Branch .and Branch ‘87‘ to challenge. It would be a good evening‘s sport, I think, to have the three branches take part in it. Consider it, Tom.

Throughout the province, thousands of women have taken advantege of the free examinations. "There are no local records concerg- ing the number of women who have received free examinations," Dr. Lan: said. "The matter is handled directly between local physicians and Qusen‘s Park. And it also seems likely that the mumber of women here who have taken advantage of the plan might be less than elsewhere, due to provisions under mine medical plans which proâ€" vide the same services." He urged that all married women of the Porcupin> take advantage of the free examinations once a year, as a safeguard to the health of their children and themselves.
