"Did he kiss you?" asked the defence counsel. R‘No. he did not!" she answered emâ€" atically. Her employer had asked her to keep lquiet about the affair until he had tried |to locate the salesman through the firm tfor which he said he was working. A few days later, she told her father.

Flung Her on Chesterfield When they got to the front room, Howe grabbed her, she said. "He ‘tried to kiss me. I slapped his face. Then he flung me on the chesterfileld."

J. P. Coulson, Ottawa, announc:d Friday night he had awarded to H. Dagenais, Limited, the contract for erection of the new $300,000 hotel at Sudbury, Ont. Setting the example in Timmins for home improvement, the Federal govâ€" ernment has improved its own homse ere, Redecoration of the interior Of the post office and customs building been almost completed. With ceilâ€" ings of light straw colour and walls of a golden sunlight shade, the place has a much more pleasant atmosphere than that given by the former glaring white. Freshly varnished woodwork also adds to the freshness of the building. The cutside of the windows will be repainted as soon as weather permits. The story of a gruesome find in a shack near Ryland in the Hearst area is told by the Hearst corresponndent of The Northern Tribune, of Kapusâ€" kasing, as follows:â€" "Last week neighbours, investigating the cause for the smokeless chimney of the shack of Jos. Villeneuve, an elderly bachelor settler in the Ryland district, found the occupant of the cabin deadâ€"apparently from lack of nourishment and exposure. The conâ€" dition of the cabin indicated that Vilâ€" leneuve had struggled hard with the elements and had endeavoured to chop up the floor for fire wood. Burnt matches on the stove showed fruitless efforts to start the fire. He had eviâ€" dently become ill and had been unable to go out for provisions and living in a remote spot the lack of activity around the place was not noticed. It was nearâ€" ly a month since he was seen alive. "To add a gruesome feature to the incident was the fact that the face of the unfortunate man was eatem away by cats of which there were an unusual number around the placs, the keeping of them being a hobby with the recluse bachelor. The body was brought in by Constable Crozier and released for burial by Coroner Tucker." Gruesome Discovery in Shack in Ryland District North Bay Nugget:â€"Reports from warâ€"torn Spain talk of the Siege of Madrid. How many Madrids are there, or are they still storming at the onre community but deoing it in serial style for the movie firms who have purâ€" chased picture rights? TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 25TH, 1937 Last week the ratepayers of Kapusâ€" }'ca.sing voted on a byâ€"law to provide for the adoption of daylight saving in that town. Onily the previous wetk the p:oâ€" posal for the daylight saving plan had been turned down flat at North Bay. Other towns and cities in Ontario have discarded the plan but the Kapuskasing citizens gave the byâ€"law a majority in a light vote. The total vote cast was 616, there being 329 in favour and 287 against. In all but two of the six pollâ€" ing places there was a small majority for daylight saving. Im one poll the vote was a tie, 34 to 34, while in another poll there were 65 votes against the byâ€"law and 64 in favour. The majority for the byâ€"law in the total of the six polls was 42. Merchants and houseâ€" keepers were said to be against the byâ€" law, while the sport fans were in fayâ€" our. There was no organized opposiâ€" tion to the byâ€"law, however, but The Northern Tribune ventures the opinion that Kapuskasing may drop the plan after trying it for a year like other towns have done. The name, "daylight saving" has been an asset to the scheme though, of course, there is no saving of daylight. The plan only means that if people get up an hour earlier in the morning they will have an extra hour of daylight. With the clock turned on an hour they are not supposed to noâ€" ticed that they have arisen an hour earlier. Contract Awarded for Carrying Mails The contract for carryingzg His Maâ€" jesty‘s mail from the Timmins station to the post office has again been awardâ€" ed to the Star Transfer, it was learned this week. The ssme company collects the mail from th> street letter boxes, takes it to the post office and then to the train for despatch. Kapuskasing Votes for Daylight Saving Scheme Wants Forestry Air Patrol Used All the Year Round Yearâ€"round use of the forestry branch air patrol, at present tied up during the winter months, is advocated by the Sudbury District Game and Fish Protective Association in a letter forwarded Saturday to the provincial Department of Game and Fisheries. Division of the service of the aeroâ€" plane piloted by Dick Overbury beâ€" tween the Department of Lands and Forests, Department of Game and Fisnâ€" eries, Department of Health, Departâ€" ment of Mines and Department of Highways is proposed by the associaâ€" tion. The recommendation suggests that costs of administering these departâ€" ments in Northern Ontario would be considerably reduced by the use of the aeroplane. Operated during the summer morths by the forestry branth in fire prevenâ€" tion work, the plane is grounded durâ€" ing the winter months at Sauit Ste. Marie. The Sudbury District Game and Fish Protective Association, according to Ed Currey, secretaryâ€"treasurer, feels that the distribution of service would permit other departments to reduce expenses in making necessary inspecâ€" tion trips in Sudbury district. The cost of flying a game warden into a district would be reduced they argue in as much as other means of transportation reâ€" quire three or four days on a trip. The inspeciion of game preserves would be more effective by air they contend.

This new byâ€"law includes the licensing of slot machines. The first day the byâ€"law was in force it put notable revenue into the city coffers. In the matter of liâ€" cense fees for slct machines no less than $2200 was taken in y the Sudbury treasury cn that first day alone. The cash payment covered the license fee cn 40 machines, the full number alâ€" lowed by the byâ€"law to any one operâ€" ator. It is understsod that the one verdor referred to in the Sudjbury case is a firm known as the Sudbury Vendâ€" ing Co.

The only commodity that is at present high is gold. "You‘ve been having it all own way up here," he said. "Now the cther fellows are going to get a bit more for theirs." strong reaction. Nations have for year been hoarding them, in fear of wa When the price rises they will disgorsg the metals on the cpen market. "Then tlhere will be a tremendous crash in eccommodity prices," said the British inâ€" custrialist. "What you want to know from me is: ‘Is there likely to be another war or nct?‘" he said, in opening an address that was in reality a brief survey of conditions, political ard economic, the world over. "I have no hesitation in assuring you that there is not going to be ancther war in Europe; not for 25 years, and probably not for 50 years." Russia Began Arms Race Russia began the present arms race. said he. Although curious in a comâ€" munist, socialist country, Russia raised the army to protect herself from invaâ€" s10n. The rise in price of zinc, coppet molybdenum, lead, nickel and othe base metals is almost certain to have : Italy is so tied up with Ethiopia that she can .do nothing in the way of a great European war. Keeping a standâ€" ing army of 200,000 men there is costâ€" ing Mussclini‘s country just £40,000,000 a year. The British Empire learned one lesson from the European affair. To avoid insults on all sides, thorough armament is nezsessary. The Italian acâ€" tion has drawn Egypt closer to Britain and recent trade agreements favour Britain‘s business in that country. Egypt has decided that peace there is impossible without a British permanen‘ army in the Suez canal zone. she gro ing ng Lord Riverdale does not blame Gerâ€" many for reâ€"arming. With Russia, Ital; and France all ignoring the League of Nations, Germany could not be expsectâ€" ed to sit still and do nothing. "Do reâ€" member," he said, "that if we hadn‘t i1ad Hitler, they wculd have had comâ€" munism. And that might have been worse for all of us." France‘s Unfortunate Pact France has made a most unfortunate agreement with Soviet Russia, he conâ€" tinued. No French cabinet minister dare ask Frenchmen to fight on any other but their own soil, vet the agreeâ€" ment means that might happen. ‘"The pact isn‘t worth the paper it‘s written on." Japan has found her level. Aggression in Manchuria ard China has brought terrific economic pressure on that emâ€" pire and for that reason the nation is much more tractable now than a year ag0o. Britain Greatest Peace Factor ‘"The greatest factor for peace and economic stability is the British Comâ€" monwealth of Nations," said Lord Riverdale, explaining that only the British really tried to live up to the League of Nations‘ armament limitaâ€" tion. A few years ago, it would have been difficult for Baldwin or any other minister to persuade the British people that they must arm. Toâ€"day, since Russia, Germany, France and Italy have armed to the teeth, the whole British nation is behind the armament pregramme, that will cost £455,000,000 this year, slightly less the year after, and £400,000,000 the third year. That will bring her to first place in army, navy and air force in the whole worlid. The other nations shot their bolt." They must be satisfied with what they‘ve got. But if Britain spends her mocney properly, she need have no fear from any source. League Is "Finished" "I believe the League of Nations is completely firished. It‘s better shut up, unless you want to keep it open for international statistics," the former eccnomic delegate said. "As a qplace where we, the British Commonweagalth cf Nations, can find peace, it‘s done." The mement the United States decided not to join, the league was doomed to failure. With Japan and Germany out, it can no longer be called a leagus of Comparinz Hitler and Mussolini, Lord Riverdale said: "Hitler knows nothing and wants to know nothing.
