Committee to Check Christmas Baskets A meeting of various service clubs and church and charity organizations was held last night to form a comâ€" mittee to distribute baskets and gifts at Christmas this year.

Blood donors of type three and four are urgently needed by the local Red Cross Society. The society now has a list of twentyâ€"eight donors who are willing to give their blood but most of them are of types one and two. Those who are willing t donate their blood are asked to get in touch with Dr. James Barry, of Timmins, or Dr. Armitage of Schumacher. Need Blood Donors of Types Three and Four Interviewed this morning by lhe Advance, Dr. Lee Honey, candidate for mayor, said that the pressing need of the town the moment seemed to be a spirit of coâ€"operation and action for general benefit, rather than appeal to sections and classes. "There are seveâ€" eral things that should be done," said Dr. Honey, "and I cannot see how any progress can be made with chese unless they are approached in a better spirit than has prevailed heretofore." He instanced the case of the need for more revenue for the town. It might seem good politics to talk at large about changing the whole basis of assessment of the province, but it seemed to him that the quickest and surest way would te to centre, like Teck and Tisdale are doing, on trying to get a larger share of the mines profit tax. There is a good chance of getting this if all work together. The town would have to keep on proper footing with the province, however, to accomplish anything. Mere abuse or talk would get nowhere. The same held true in regard to any adâ€" vantages for the workingman. "I am naturally in favour of holidays with pay," said the doctor, "but I don‘t feel it is right to pretend that such .a question comes within jurisdiction of the council so far as other employers are concerned. There are, however, vital issues that do come in the scope | of the council, I am sure all were startled at the stagement of Dr. Russell that poor housing conditions were largeâ€" ly responsible for the prevalence of tukerculosis here. (This is a field for study and work for the new council." Dr. Honey said that many planks of his platform were given in his addressâ€" es and advertising. He was not deâ€" pending on slogans or caichâ€"cries. He also emphasized the idea that he re«â€" cognized the fact that the councillors were just as much elected by the peoâ€" ple as the mayor and that mayor and council must work together. "I think that is of very great importance," said Dr. Honey Asked in regard to the failure to publish a â€" financial â€" statement year, Dr. Honey said that he felt that the ratepayers were entitled to the knowledge of their own affairs, as chey have in past years, without going to the town office individually where as a matter of fact it would he imposâ€" sible to accommodate them with the information if any number tried to get the facts that way. "My idea in brief is this," concluded Dr. Honey, "for five years past we have had nothing promises year after year, and nothing has been acâ€" complished. Apparently the present plan will not work successfully, Don‘t you think it would be better to try the idea of mayor and council workâ€" ing cogether for immediate benefit for the town?"
