â€" bwiss Speaker Fine{â€" _ Heartâ€"Touching Shots Address Much Appreciated Fred De Cruyenaere, on behalf of the club, thanked the speaker for the ‘interestâ€"holding address, and for the many beautiful pictures shown. Viceâ€" President P. H. Laporte, in the chair in the abkence of President Knowles, added his personal appreciation. Another Perfect Attendance Tab. With Past Lieutenantâ€"Governor P. T. Moisley officiating, a 2â€"year perâ€" fect attendance tab was presented to Claude Desaulniers. The speaker dealt in most interestâ€" ing and informative way with the economics and politics of Switzerâ€" land, mcking it plain that he was simply seeking to explain one deâ€" mocracy to another. Captain in Canadian Army In introducing the guest speaker, Past President J. Beattie noted "that Mr. Lendi had been born at St. Galâ€" len, Switzerland, and was educated in â€"Switzerland,â€" France, Germany, Italy and Austria. He has been a Canadian citizen since 1930, and servâ€" ed from 1940 to 1946 in the Canadian active army, winning the rank of captain. Visitors for the day included L. H. Hanlan, District Representative of Agriculture, Matheson and A. J. Rayâ€" mond, of the Timmins Press. Eugene J. Thornton, to the rank of sergeant; Frederick Griffin, Leo Alâ€" bert Morel, and Ernest Patrick Stack to the rank of corporal. The Ties that Bind There were many ties that should bind Switzerland and Canada. For 160 years Switzerland had been at peace with its neightors, while Canada‘s record along the same line was almost as long. Switzerland was a small country but had to import most of its foodstuffs. Fifty percent of its wheat had to be imported, most of it coming from Canada The Famous Swiss Watches Despite its small size, Switzerland produced seventyâ€"five percent of the woetches of the world. Nearly ninety percent of the watches in Canada, the speaker said, were of Swiss oriâ€" gin. Four NCO promotions inâ€" the reâ€" serve force of the Algonquin Regiâ€" ment have been announced. They are as follows: Community singing was led by Ted Bartlett, with Secretary W. H. Wilson at the piano. Anton R. Lendi, noted Swiss traâ€" vellier and lecturer, was the guest speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Timmiss Kiwanis Club on Monâ€" day at the Empire Hotel. The visit to of this distinguished â€"speaker was sponsored by the Kiwanis and the Rotary Clubs. Scenes of Special Beauty The addross, under the title, "Switâ€" zerland, Pattern for Peace," was notâ€" able for its earnestness and informaâ€" ticn ond the eloquence of the speaker. It was supported by a series of beautifully ccloured slides of Swiss vzenery, from photographs taken by tke speaker. Views of Lake Geneva and Lake Lucerne were heartâ€"touchâ€" Ing in their beauty. Past President E. H. King opercted the projector. As the speaker explained, his purâ€" pose was to forge more closely toâ€" gether the ties between free and de: mocratic nations, through the spread of wider informrnation and deeper unâ€" derstanding. Unless more beds are made available grarve consequences may result. We are very concerned about the growing seriousness of the hospital bed stage. We should have a number of beds available at all times. As it is, a bed is hardly allowed to cool off from the body heat of one patient before another patient is in it. There is a long waiting list. Patients are being denied modern faciliâ€" ties and therapy. The resource of doctors is overtaxed in treating patients in unfavorâ€" able conditions. It has been said that doctors are to blame for the| shortage; that they keep patients in hospital longer than necessary. But what is the good of curing a patient if she is to be sent home in a weak condition, to a houseful of children, when she cannot afford to have help to look after them? Sisters of All too often the result is a relapse or a chronically ‘ ill patient. In fact, patients are discharged too early because we know that more serious cases await. We need a conâ€" valescent home and an old folks home and a community buillding. But the urgent reâ€" quirements are hospital beds. 4 Four New NCO‘s ‘ k #% * sent hospital operated the ndence eould easily be enlarged s Patients In Pain ‘"Don‘t talk peanuts, Jack," said Larry and left for Hollywood. ' Refused to "Slant‘" His first job"in Hollywood was with KFAC, a station devoted entirely to classical music. One week later he moved to 50,000â€"watt KMPC, for one year, until the owner ordered him to slant his newscasts against certain reces and religions. Mr. Thor refused, moved over to CBS as a summer replacement in 1947.. He is still there, and is now under contract as network supervisor and special announcer. He began at Flin Flon, Manitoba, carning $70 2 month with station CFAR. Three years later he moved to Timmins, as an announcer, at $108 a month. Then followed CKCL in Toronto and CFCF in Montreal, where he reâ€" placed Christopher Ellis on a nightly newscast. <He was paid $20 a week at first, six years later, $125 a week. Hollywood Bound During the war he was retained by CFCF, which would not release him, to conduct a Canadian Navy show on the sir. After the war he decided to go to Hollywood. On the way he stopped off at Toronto and dropped in to see Jack Cook, whom he knew and who was then managing aâ€" Toronto station. Larry explained his intentions. Jack suggested <that he work for him in Larry Thor, exâ€"CKGB announcer, now earns $40,000 a year superv1sing for CBS in Hollywood. ‘"How much?" Larry asked.

The officers and book selection committee of the public library are announced this week. They are as follows: A mecting of the executive of the Porcupine Festival of Music was held in Central Public School George Jenkin presiding. Members were asked to intercst as many adults as possible in enâ€" tering the festival, which will be held from Mayi to May5, incluâ€" sive. The deadline for entry is March 15.

I am sure that Sister Germaine Therese, Sister Superior, is fully aware of the critical shortage. But unfortunately the hospital is nct controlled by the Sister Superior. The hospital is controlled by the Mother Superior of the Sisters of Providence in Montreal; and on many occasions requests for enlarging have been turned down.| Sister Germaine Therese is going to Montreal this week and she will have with her a direct appeal from the Porcupine District Medical Society for the construction of more beds." "If our request is turned down, the only alternative is to build another hospital." "The present St. Mary‘s Hospital has 112 adult beds, 18 childrens‘ beds, and 30 bassiâ€" nets. These serve a population of 32,000 in Timmins and Schumacher, and are also the centre for many thousands in the surroundâ€" ing area. In addition, Timmins has a numâ€" ber:of specialists who draw patients to town from as far away as Kapuskasing." It is obvious that . the present. bed capacity is insufficient.

Prize; Give Scouts $50 _ And Will Sponsor Play Mr. Frank Chan Addresses Y‘s Men The custom of setting aside â€"certain years as Holy Years or Years of Jubilee is lost in antiquity.. We find provisions for such years among the prescriptions of the Jewish Law. The modern celebration of Years of Jubilee among Roman Catholics dates from the twelfth or thirteenth century of the Christian era. Originally celebrated at the close of each century, and designed to celebrate the centennial of the birth of Christ, they began to be celebrated at the half céntury and quarter century matks as well. The special purpose of the great Jubilees is to summon all the faithful not only to exâ€" piate xheir faults and amend their lives but also to lead them to acquire virtue and holiâ€" ness according to the word of Holy Scripâ€" ture: "Sarctify, yourselves and be ye holy, because I am the Lord your God." He asks as well that those "Who suffer persecution for justice sake." (Matt. V, 10) may be blessed with the dauntless fortitude which marked the martyrs of the early Church. Special prayers are likewlise reâ€" quested for refugees, prisoners and exiles, that they may soon be enabled to return to the homeland they cherish, and that their sufferings may be lightened. ‘ - * (Lev. XX, 7). In addition, the prayers of Catholics throughout the world will be directed in a special way towards the needs of the Church. His Holiness, Fope Pius XII, has asked prayers that peace may at long last return to the hearts of all; to families; to indiviâ€" dual countries; and to t.he community of all nations. REVISON COURT OPENS SNOWFALL DOUBLE Calling All Catholics Organizations Often _ Impede One Another Agriculuture Experts to Meet In Timmins: Feb. 25 A. H. Purdy, district representative of the Canadian Chamber of Comâ€" merce of, Toronto, will address a meeting of the farm community in the St. John Ambulance Hall, Birch Street South, on Saturday, February 25, at 8.00 p.m. J.:W. Spooner, chairâ€" man of the agriculture committee has announced. Mr. Purdy has for some years re«â€" presented the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in the west as their Agriâ€" culture Specialist.. He has a Master of Science degree in Agriculture majâ€" oring in the Field Husbandry at the Agricultural College at the University of Ssskatchewan and was for a time associated with the Dominion Deâ€" partment of Agriculture at the Swift Current Experimental Farm as a Cerealist and later as an Agricultural Supervisor af Agricultural Improveâ€" ment Associzctions in South, West Saskatchewan. it will be most worthwhile. There will be no charge." J. B. S. Ballantyne," commissioner of agricultural development for Norâ€" thern Ontario, and L. H. Hanlan, will both be present also. "We urge all our friends in the farm community to attend thi.s- meetâ€" ing," adds Mr. Spooner. "We believe Library Maintained By Drawing Reserve "The library board spent $856 more than it received," reports John Blackâ€" shaw, chairman. The estimate of exâ€" penditures to operate in 1949, passed by the bozard and submitted to the Town Council in February, was cut in an arbitrary manner by $1475.21 in May, <~without previous consultation with the Board." "Last yecr the Town Council was therefore responsible for the estimate of the smount of money required to Pperate the library. The municiâ€" pality raised $16,500 in taxes as its share: in meeting the expenses of the library. ‘‘This amount included $2400 to cover the rental, hesting, lighting, and cleaning of the librery. This left $14,100 of the taxpayer‘s money with which to pay wages, buy books and maintain the library in effective working conditions. Other income, including a Provinâ€" cial grant of $1770.11, helped to keep the library in full operation. The deficit was made ‘up by drawing on the reserve fund, that is, on the bank balance. "I welcome two newly appointed members, Mrs. Ross Beattie, and Mrs. W. Drew, and hope they will enjoy their work," says Mr. Blackshaw. "On behalf of the Board I thank the kead librarian, Alice Habib, for her diligent and conscientious attention to the operation of the library, and hope that she will soon be able to return to work in her usual good health. I also thank the head of the Children‘s Book Department, Miss MacKeracher, the head of the French Book Department, Miss Vachon, Miss Rogers, and the junior assistant jibrarigns for thgeir loyalty and acâ€" complishments during 1949. Welcome and Thanks Council Responsible The chief and central celebration of the Holy Year is of course the traditional pilgriâ€" mage to Rome, and the visiting of the four major basilicas there. However, for the vast majority of Catholics, particularly those living far from the Eternal City, the making of such a pilâ€" grimage is a physical impossibility. But the impossibility of making this pilgrimage does not excuse Catholics from participation in the Holy Year., Whether living near or far from Rome, whether able to make the pilâ€" grimage or not, every Catholic \is expected to ‘share in the prtayers and penance of the great Jubilee. Archbishop Vachon of Ottawa, has sugâ€" gested that Catholics throughout his archâ€" dioctse join together in practicing some particular form of penance or motification. In other words he asks the faithful to abâ€" stain from certain things which are not morally forbidden, and ‘to perform some work over and above thost required by the laws of God and the Church. â€"_His suggestion was that all Catholics in the Archdiocese of Ottawa abstain from the use of alcoholic beverages during the entire Holy Year, that smokers avoid smokâ€" ing on Fridays, and that all: Catholic famiâ€" commands. They are suggestions of things ‘that the faithful can do as a form of penâ€" ance and mortification to expilate their own faults, and to beseech Almighty God to ‘come to the aid of a troubled world. ies unite in the: recitation of the Rosary each evening during theâ€" year. > 'fhese suggestions Ot. course are not Len Masson explained economic difficulities of the Porcupine before members of the Ministerial Associaâ€" tion during their meeting held in the Salvation Army Hall on Monday afternoon. Donations and Programs Suppose a church or the Red Cross undertake a moneyâ€"raising effort of some ‘kind? We all agree, heâ€" said, that the effort is worthwhile. But somcetimes several occur during the same week, even on the same day. What happens? Third Avenue is swamped with solicitors, he explainâ€" ed. "One retailer told me that he was approached by sixâ€"in one mornâ€" ing. So, what we are trying to do bere, is to spread them out, and we can, if we kndw of intentions in advance. Programs In the old days an orgamzauon could get along without a program. orâ€" at any rate, it was an incidental consideration. â€" Nowdays, Mr. Masson believes, the program has loomed overâ€"important. People think it is worthwhile getting out for itself, beâ€" cause of its moneyâ€"making possibiliâ€" ties, almost traducing the effort propâ€" er, which is wrong, Mr Masson furthâ€" er declared. Fish? Business? What fish can be caught in the Porcupine? The Chamber is glad to furnish advice â€" on anythmg, the spesker said, and does so, by confjâ€" dential letter. "And if we do not know, we can usually tell the enquirâ€" er where to seek it," he added. The whole idea, he concluded, is to stimulate the economy of the district. Bill Trumble Explains Accounting To Classes R. J. Taylor, Cost Accountant with Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines Limited, was the scheduled speaker for regular recent meetings of the Hollinger Evening Classes. Mr. Tayâ€" lor‘s subject was to have been "Cost Accounting in Industry‘", but owing to the illness of the speaker the meetâ€" ings were addressed by William Trumble, Assistant Cost Accountant. Mr. Trumble discussed the same subject planned for Mr; Taylor‘s talk, in which the operation of Hollinger‘s Cost: Accounting Department was deâ€" scribed in detail. The meetings of the classes were under the chairmanship of S. R. McCoy. "Everyone is familiar with costs in some form," the spesker said. "We as individuals can record our exâ€" penses against a budget, and this is exactly Wwhat a company has to do to keep alive or in business." It was explained to the meeting that in any system .of keeping or findâ€" ing costs, it is necessary to break down the whole into a number of units. Using the building of a house as an example, the speaker explained how a person~would keep separate costs for such items as digging the fees. The same procedure is followed baement, labbur, materials, or legal in business, whether the activity of the business is selling groceries, buildâ€" ing houses or mining gold. "People are doing it very well, now," he says, "and it helps us a lot." Timmins citizens have rallied nobly and zsre now clearing their paths, acâ€" cording to J. Kelman, town engineer.
