All the latest developments in insulâ€" ation have gone into the building to protect the bottled contents from the change of the weather. All walls and ceilings are covered with an eightâ€" inch layer of cork and insulation board. while under the floor is another five inches of powdered cork material to absorb either summer heat or excesâ€" sive winter cold. One of the feature improvements over the old warehouse at 35 Prospect Avenue is the receiving depot for "empties." At the present location all returns have to be made to an exterior side door, which greatly inconveniences the customers. In the new building used cases will be received inside the builing in the same department where the beverage is bought. Under the new refrigeration arrangement, the bottles will be kept at two temperaâ€" tures. In the warshouse the cartons will be cooled but not to drinking temperature. Other cases for immeâ€" diate use will be stored in the special refrigerator and the beverage is kept at a constant drinking coolness. The new brick and tile structure will be one‘of the most modern storaze houses in Ontario and will be completeâ€" ly equipped with the latest devices of cooling and refrigeration. Measuring 60 feet wide by 120 feet long, the wareâ€" house will have floor space to accomâ€" modate a large supply of beverages.

The rabbit was the sole casuâ€" alty when Nazi bombers dropped bombs on the Shetland Islands, off the Scotâ€" tish coast, Nov. 13th. The Germans claimed that two flying boats had been sunk and a British warship damaged, but the British government say that the wee rabbit was the only casualty. Accordingly the little animal was sent to Goering as a souvenir of his prowâ€" ess and success.

Stresses Need for a W arâ€"time Council That Will Give Attention to the Town Business. Receives Neck Wound by Fall on Broken Bottle London Beer Cellars Not to be Used as Shelte PS MS "Tonight I would like to talk of the need for a complete change in our municipal administration at the comâ€" ing election. The Provincial Governâ€" ment has announced that council electâ€" ed at the forthcoming elections will serve for the duration of the war, or for a period of two years at least. This decision has not met with general apâ€" proval, but the provincial authorities have affirmed their decision, and it appears they will pass engbling legislaâ€" tion at the next session of the house. is an important matter, and while it may not be necessary, it is difficult to tell what the war developâ€" ments may be, and Mr. Hepburn, is apparently preparing for whatever may arise. If the war condition does beâ€" come serious, the suspension of muniâ€" cipal elections will not be a great sacrifice, and in the press of war duties, we would have little time to waste on elections. If there should be no reason for the suspension of elecâ€" tions, there will be no obstacle to the In an address to the electors last night Mr. Emile Brunette, who has anâ€" nounced that he will be a candidate for the mayoralty at the approaching elecâ€" tion, stressed the fact that what is needed is a warâ€"time mayor and counâ€" cil devoting the closest care and atâ€" tention to town affairs. Mr. Brunette pointed out that when he asked for a financial statement for the town for the month of October he found no such statement had been issued since July, and according council had been transâ€" acting business without the proper picâ€" ture of conditions before them. "The real importance of this change in our election system, is the onus it places upon the electors to choose a mayor and council who will conduct the affairs of the town for the duration of the war. This choice cannot be made lightly. This will be the most important election in the history of Timmins, and one which will have farâ€" reaching effects. "To face the war years with a group of municipal officers, such as are now in office in Timmins, would be an unâ€" fortunate experience for our town. While it is not exactly new for Timâ€" imins to have a council which produces fireworks, it is a new experience to have a council which produces fireâ€" works with absolutely no advantage for the town. Timmins has gained absoâ€" lutely nothing from the bickering and strife which has marked this council I do not imagine they intended to beneâ€" fit the town in their propagzganda works, and for this reason they should be reâ€" jected. "I am fully aware of the limitations of the mayor‘s powers, and must make clear that a town‘s administration deâ€" pends upon the entire council, or at least a majority of that body. I do not claim that if I am elected I will solve all the problems in Timmins, nor do T promise to do anything outside of the mayor‘s jurisdiction. My three years on the council have convinced me that a mayor and council have a full time job running the town‘s affairs if they want to do it well. Any time spent in efforts outside that field is taken at the expense of the taxâ€"payers and should not be tolerated. If Timâ€" mins wants to adopt a new system of government to replace our democratic form, there should be a vote on the question. Until the voters express the wish to have a council which will dicâ€" tate how the individual shall operate his private business, I see no excuse for the council interfering in that field. The Federal and Provincial Governâ€" ments have all the rights in that field, and appear to be getting along quite well without Timmins setting up an independent state which will operate on a basis different to the rest of Canâ€" adia. "I stated in my first talk that I would make no election promises, and that I was asking for your support in order to get the town hall back to runâ€" ning town affairs, and this is the only issue in this election. We have had one year of propaganda administration but it is impossible at this time to tell you the results. issued every month, in order that the council may keep expenditures under close supervision, I expected the Octoâ€" (Continued on Page Two) Mr. Brunette‘s address was lows :â€" "I understand that elections have been suspended in Britain for the durâ€" ation of the war, so Ontario has a precedent for this decision. I am not supporting this move, but I do believe it is intended to help the war cause, and whatever will help in this should have our support. s "In an attempt to give you the fin«= ancial picture of this year‘s administra~â€" tion, I requested a copy of the town financial statement for October.. This was on Monday, November when I made this request, and as there is supposed to be a financial statement no reason for the suspension of elecâ€" tions, there will be no obstacle to the government cancelling the legislation, and returning to us our democratic rights.
