The Parish observes the tenth an- niversary of its formation by the ex- pressed desire to erect a suitable new church in keeping with the growth and prosperity of the Camp and the parish. In touching on the early history of the Church in the Porcupine, Rev. Fr. Theriault makes many interesting notes. The Parish of St. Anthony is one of the oldest established in the far north. Even as early as 1900 this district was visited by Rev. Fr. Beau.. dry, ON.r. Accompanied by a band of Indians he stopped where Mr. John Power 's hotel now stands. In the early days the priests underwent many hardships and privations, owing to the long distances that had to be travelled on foot and without any of life's comforts. Rev. Fr. Theriydt also points out that it is interesting to note that the Parish received its name from the Patron, Saint after whom the president of the Hollinger Consolidat- ed Gold Mines Limited, the great in- dustry of the Camp; was named. ESTEEMED RESIDENT or SOUTH PORCUPINE DEAD In this new church there will be a "Roll of Honour," giving a list of all subscribers donating $10.00 or more. Friends throughout the district learned with very sincere sorrow of the death at her home in South Pop.. cupine on Friday evening, January 20th, 1922, of Mrs. W. M. Whyte, one of the most highly esteemed residents of the Camp. To the bereaved hus- band and other near relatives and friends very sincere syanpathy is ex- tended in their loss. For tive and a half years the. late Mrs. W. IL Whyte had been a re- sident of the Porcupine and was held in the highest regard by all who knew her. She was a member of Kitchener Lodge of the Rehekahs, and a helpful and valued member of this and other circles in the life of the community For the past two months Mrs. Whyte had been ill, but her death, though not altogether unexpected still came as a shock to many friends. The late tMrs. W. M. Whyte was born in New York State and was a descendant of one of the oldest New England families. She was a gradu- ate of the School of Manual Training of Rochester, N.Y. Her maiden name was 'Rhoda E. Southworth, and she was a direct deseendent of the South- worth family that came to Plymouth from England about 16".?f).Some years ago a genealogy of the Southworth family was published, tracing the fa- mily line back to 1189, and before that showing the descent from Alfred the Great of England.

The Junior' Orchestra is a very cre- ditahle group of young musicians whose work is very pleasing and is sure to delight all on Sunday evening. The String Orchestra is a nine- piece orchestra, including violins, 'eel.. los, mandolins, ete. This orchestra made a decided hit at the Burns Ban- quet last week, and all who have heard the Schroeder String Orchestra are very enthusiastic, in praise of this orchestra. The Porcupine District Orehest1'p is the third orchestra that will take part in the programme Sunday evening. This is a large orchestra with about two dozen members. Those who have heard it can not speak top highly of The general opinion is that any one of the three orchestras would be well worth going to hear and that the three, with the other items on the pro- gramme, will make a programme that none should missr---sometliing deeid- edly special. The work of Mr. Sehroeder and his musicians in organizing and maintain, ing these orchestras certainly deserves the appreciation of the community. The Navy League also is a worthy cause that deserves a very large at- tendance. And all attending the con- cert on Sunday evening will not only thus be showing their support and ap- preeiation of worthy enterprises, but they will also be giving themselves the opportunity for the enjoyment. of an unusually pleafsiug musical pro- gramme.

COSTUMES AT MASQUERADE BALL UNUSUALLY STRIKING The masquerade ball given by the Dancing Club in the Masonic Hall last Friday evening; proved a brilliant sue- cess. In quantity and quality, the costumes were especially noteworthy. There was the usual good attendance at the event and practically all were in special costumes. The designs were remarkable for originality in concep- tion and artistic thoroughness in car- rying out the characters and designs. All the designs were good, whether humorous or simply artistic in their motif, and the masquerade ball as a whole may be said to have been "pro- bably the most complete and success- ful ever held in the district. The evening was much enjoyed by all pre- sent. JUDGMENT IN FAVOUR 0P NORTHCROWN BONDHOLDERS Aeeording to a paragraph last week in the Osgoode Hall announcements default judg,ment has been delivered at ()sgoode Hall in favor of the Trusts & Guarantee Company against the North Crown Pqrettpine Mines, Limit- ed (no personnl‘liability) in the mat- ter of a claim tor foreclosure of mort- gage on property of the defendants in the Sudbury district. The total amount involved, including mortgage interest and costs, is $105,135. Judg- ment was obtained by the Trusts & Guarantee Company as trustee for bondholders under tt deed of trust dated March 15, 1921. In connection with this paragraph it may be said that this is but the red tape legal procedure necessary to straighten oat the arrangements made with the Thompsoh-Krist. The Thomp- son-Kristhad agreed to pay a certain proportion of the costs of work done last year at the merged properties, but the Thompson-Krist fell down in the payments and the action by the bondholders was to secure the money ,advanced on the strength of the agree- ments made. _ The New Empire Theatre was crowded lSunday evening after the church services, for the Band Concert given by the Tiaunins Citizens' Band.

( The Band rendered a number of' se- lections during the evening, practical» ly all being new pieces, and given with special talent and effectiveness. The Band selections were all much enjoy- led by the crowded house, and flatter- ing comment was the order of the leveniug on the part of the audience as to the capabilities of' the Timmins Band. In addition to the band se- lections, there were solos by Mrs. U. L. Acton and readings by Mrs. Mur- dock and little Miss Murdock.

Mr. Ramsay made apt reference to the growth of the Caledonian Society, which now had over 80 members.

Mr. Seott briefly explained the purposes of the Society and its desire to maintain the high ideals of the Scottish people in the service of man- kind. Mr. Clark made a particularly pleas- ing address, full of wit aad inspira- tion, and Mr. C. G. Williams' reply was equally witty and inspiring. Mr. Mackie gave a brief but illu- minative review of the poetry of Burns, with many inspiring quota- tions. The silent toast, “The Immortal Memory," was duly honored. The musical features of the evening were unusually pleasing. 'Sehroeddr's String Orchestra gave a number of selections, each one of which was "something special." The gather- ing was simply delighted with this very capable orchestra. A piano solo by Miss G'ilfin was another instrumen- tal selection that pleased all. Solos also were given by Miss Jean Roberts, Mrs. J. K. Moore, Mr. Jas. Twaddle, Mrs. M. B. Scott, Mr. Jas. Geils, Mrs. U. L. Acton and Mr. W. Cr.
