Over 120 trained men have been sent out since that time, gach one of them with masters‘ deâ€" grees. In New Haven, a Department of Boys Guidance was set up. Second step was the educavion of the public to the knowledge of boys‘ work and its importance. Field secretaries were sent ouw. They spent nine or ten days in each community, where they held courses in police juvenile work, juvenile dolinquency and other phases of boys‘ work.: Thege courses were open so all creeds and classes.

In a letter to The Advance this week, Mr. Austin Neame, president of the Timmins Red Cross, and prominent in Canadian Legion and other public setrâ€" vice activities, suggests the formation of a central committee to oversee the distribution of Christmas cheer this year. Such a committee, he points out, would prevent overlapping in the matâ€" ter of baskets sent, and also avoid abuses of other kinds. Mr. Neame writes:â€" To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins Dear Sir:â€"The Christmas season is rapidly drawing near, and, as in past years, there will be many applications made to the various service organizaâ€" tions in Timmins for Christmas cheetr, toys, clothing, etc. I would very strongly suggest that the service organizations form a Christmas cheer committee to whom all requests for Christmas basâ€" kets. etc., be referred, so that each case may be looked into, duplication preâ€" vented and a systematic distribution of Christmas cheer may be made to those in need. I should be very pleased to meet reâ€" presentatives of the service organizaâ€" tions, relief department, etc., in the Mines Rescue Station at 8 p.m. on Friâ€" day, Nov. 25th, for the purpose ‘»f formâ€" ing a Christmas cheer committee to deal with the foregoing suggestion.

During the evening Mr. Laâ€" croix was given further proof of the interest taken in the coming election and in regard to his connection with public affairs, when he was informed that a delegation of ladies also wished to interview him on Wednesday of this week at his home to discuss town afâ€" fairs in general and the approaching _election in particular.

The hearing of a charge of receiving stolen goods against Tony Salvador, of Timmins, was remanded until the spring assizes by Justice Caron in Cochâ€" rane yesterday. Reason for the reâ€" mand from the General Sessions of the Peace, which began Tuesday and are still in progress toâ€"day, to the Spring assizes, was that a very important witâ€" ness for the prosecution could not be found. The important witness was Mrs. Lilâ€" lian DiMarco. The case was to have been the sequel to a dramatic courtâ€" room arrest made after Salvador chargâ€" ed that Mrs, DiMarco stole four rings out of his pocket. At the hearing in Timmins the rings were produced in court. Salvador testiâ€" fied them as his and claimed Mrs. Diâ€" Marco stole them out of his pocket. Salvador identified the rings and then one of the rings was identified as one stolen from Remus‘ Jewellery Store a number of months ago. Police arrested Salvador in court and. later charged him with receiving stolen goods. Salvador elected to be‘®tried by a judge and jury so after a preliminary hearing the case was postponed until the sessions. Yesterday however, when the Crown could not produce Mrs. Diâ€" Marco a remand until the Spring asâ€" sizes was granted. The second case, in progress toâ€" day.| also involves Timmins people. Timothy Brosnam, his wife, Irene, and Percy Labresh are facing charges of criminal assault with intent to rob. Their alâ€" leged victim was John Serig. Timmins police officers testified yesâ€" terday that Serig staggered into the police station with several gory wounds in his head.
