At all Timmins, Schumacher and South Porcupine Drug Stores. It shows the joys Corrigan experiâ€" enced when he was able to own his own plane, and disappointments suffered when he vainly applied for an airline pilot‘s license. The details leading up to the famous nonâ€"stop flight from San Diego to New York, and the much disâ€" cussed question concerning the New Yorkâ€"Dublin flight, are all developed in this thrilling picture. It is not only a film of Corrigan‘s life, it is a saga of youth triumphant over all but inâ€" superable odds. The story traces Corrigan‘s early life in San Antonio, Texas; his mother‘s struggle to support her three children after the elder Corrigan leaves them, and youmz Douglas‘ efforts to aid the family by selling newspapers. His mother‘s death, his first job at an alrport as a "greaseâ€"monkey," his first airplane ride, and his friendship with Butch Kelly, from whom Corrigan inâ€" herited his famous leather jacket, are all dramatically described. Corrigan‘s ability as an actor is parâ€" allel to the surprise he gave the world when he flew his secondhand $900 plane across the Atlantic. So sincere is his performance that every heartâ€" ache, every disappointment, every job experienced by him is transported 0 those who witness the film. A vital story, beautifully told, adroitâ€" ly acted and directed is "The Flying Irishman," RKO Radio‘s picturization of Douglas Corrigan‘s life story, which will be at the Cartier theatre on Friâ€" day and Saturday, August 11th and 12th.

The small craft organisations, with some 10,000 barges and tugs capâ€" able of handling 1,000,000 tons of cargo, have been organised into a pool, and should any one dock system be put out of action, all these resources would be at the service of the port. Arrangeâ€" ments have also been made for evacâ€" uating essential foodstufis and danâ€" gerous goods. The Authority have allocated the sum of £250,000 for air raid protection to men working the docks system. All vital points have been protected and over 3 1â€"2 miles of trenches are availâ€" able for refuge from blast and splinters. Over 30,000 workers are being safeâ€" guarded in the PL.A.‘s own dock area, while owners of wharves and wareâ€" houses for 30 or 40 miles on each bank of the Thames have arranged for simâ€" llar protection for their own staffs.

Eddie Quillan as Corrigan‘s brother Harry, Robert Armstrong as the filyer who taught Corrigan to fly, Donald MacBride as the airport owner, Dorothy Peterson as Mrs. Corrigan, all give admirable performances. ROBERT ARMSTRONQG REYNOLDS DONALD MacBRIDE Mr. Kennedy reminisced about the early days in the Porcupine and the hardships undergone by the early settlers in this area. His criticism of mine managers in the camp for not being present at the banquet of the "old timers" was sharp and pointed. Sylvester Kennedy was introduced as one of the oldest veterans of the north country. The Chairman called to the attention of the large audience that Mr. Kennedy was in Haileybury in 1875 and that he was in the Porâ€" cupine during the big fire and many of its more hazardous periods. Mayor Bartleman echoed Mr. Duke‘s praise of the prospector. It was on his initial efforts and his hardships that this camp was built, he said and he predicted that it would be upon his future efforts that the fuâ€" ture security of the Porcupine would rest. He said that any measure which would ensure the prospector a greatâ€" er return for his labours would find favour with him. ‘ _The only salvation of the prospector ’was the complete abolishment of the securities commission, said Mr. Duke. He struck out at its autocratic methâ€" ods of doing business with miners and ‘mining companies and made a direct and strong attack on its bureaucratic _ methods and the "red tape" necessary ‘even in negotiations with the governâ€" ! ment body. The remainder of the stock was sold by brokers. In the event that the property did not measure up to anticâ€" ipations, the broker was not out monâ€" ey, but the prospector, whose chances lay in the stock held for him was. Mr. Duke lauded the prospector for his part in buliding the mining area of Canada and particularly for his share in the establishment of the mines in the Porcupine Campâ€"the mines which gave a livelihood to so many. As an example of the commission‘s cbjectionable methods of "handling the affairs of the prospector," Mr. Duke pointed out that a prospector who laid claim to a mining area was not alâ€" lowed to bargain for his property. He was allowed to sell it, but immediately he did so, the commission put the shares of stock he was often given in exchange for his rights in escrow. The Hepburn Government. which Mr. Duke held to be responsible for the establishment of the commission came in for its share of criticism. Speeches were not long at this banâ€" quet. More time was given to the reâ€" vival of old friendships between the Porcupine‘s early settlers than to speaking. Some of the old timers, as a matter of fact, could hardly stop exâ€" changing yarns and reminiscences long enough to listen to the speeches. The Ontario Commission was the object of an attack by C. B. Duke, Secretary of the Ontario Proâ€" spectors‘ Association, who was the principal speaker at the banquet, which on Saturday evening, opened the weekâ€"long celebration of the Porâ€" cupine Prospectors‘ Association. Givâ€" en a flying start by the well attended banquet, the celebration was to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the disâ€" covery of gold in this mining camp.

Entry was made and sixteen people were inside. Included were two notâ€" tooâ€"sober women. Nine persons had part bottles of beer near them. Sergeant John Downey told the story of ‘the raid on Chartrand‘s home at 3 am. on July 30. He and two other policemen cautiously approached the house at 158 Spruce street, south, he said. From the outside they could hear the sound of talking and laughâ€" ing inside and the cheerful tinkling of bottles. While he was at the back door a man emerged,. He was under the influence of liquor and did not notice the officers in his vicinity. Three other men drew up to the house and were on their way in but they were more observant.

"A regular dive," said the Magistrate. Referring to the fact that Chartrand admitted that he had not worked for more than a month since he was reâ€" leased from jail two months ago, the Magistrate said: "It is only the people who don‘t work in this country who can give allâ€"night parties and dish out free beer." Chartrand said that he invited all his guests. He knew the names of four of them and knew all the others to see them. He denied selling beer. "I won‘t ask you what kind of storâ€" ies were told." again interrupted the Magistrate. The lady, who later said that she was not married denied that that was the reason for her presence. She said that Chartrand was giving a little party. Guests sat around and talked and laughed and told stories. "As a chaperone?" asked Magistrate Atkinson. Constables Everett Lynn and Romeo Boissonegault gave similar eviasnce to that of Sergeant Downey. While they were in the house, said Constable Boisâ€" soneault, two men came to the door. When they saw the uniform of the minions of the law one of them said: "Oh no, you don‘t get me." He backed out and left.
