And according to her there is nothing like theatre managership. Mary Palangio, in her role. as manâ€" ager of the Cartier theatre, is probably unique in the province. After five years as cashier at the Palace theatre,; Miss Palangio was appointed manager : of the Goldfields theatre in 1943 and when it was closed she was transâ€" ferred to the Cartier as manager. ~ "The old saying about the theatre business getting in one‘s b: aod is perâ€" fectly true," she said "I wouldn‘t do any other kind of work." ‘An outstanding example of what a resourceful woman‘can accomplish is found in the business career of Mrs. Veronica Bowie, who operates a men‘s clothing store on ‘Third avenue and who opened a second store this Spring at Hearst. When the late Mark Bowie died 12 years ago, Mrs. Bowle was left with six children. three ‘boys and three girls, the flast of which was thirteen, and an almost complete igâ€" norance of her husband‘s, business. Instead of selling out the bus‘ness, Mrs. Bowle undertook to run it herâ€" self, despite the difficulties ‘of raising a large, growing family ang attempting to run the business at the same time. That she made an abundant success of both undertakings is evident today, as her three sons ass‘st her in operatâ€" ing flourishing businesses both here and in Hearst. ; An almost identical story is found in the uslnesscareer of Mrs. Mamie Shaheen, who was also widowed with a growing family and who took over e se 6+ s d : uc E8 ECC eir séid wit)r ‘A‘% 8m11e | h Timmins, Ont EVErYy THurspaÂ¥ Timmins ials Underpaid? ages Elsewhere Higher Timmins is the logical spot. for :,2;- liners of the T.C.A. to touch in No ern Ontario, Kenneth D.
