PACGE SBTZX Among the candidates already anâ€" nounced for the Timmins town counâ€" cil this year is Mr. Les Bailey, who has cil this year is Mr. Les bauey, wno nas a wide circle of supporters, both at the Hollinger Mine and in business and other circles in town. In an address last nisht to the electors, Mr. Bailey gave the reasons that had induced him to offer his services as a town councillor. Mr. Bailey said that this week he had celebrated the tenth anâ€" niversary of his residence in Timmins. At present employed in the Safety Deâ€" partment at the Hollinger Mine, he also owned a grocery business in Timâ€" mins. "As a miner and business man," said Mr. Bailey, "I feel that I will be able to represent a good portion of the population and of the taxpayers if they should choose to elect me to the council for the coming year." Coming in conâ€" tact with so many men in connection with his work in the Safety Dept. he feels he knows their problems, what they think about municipal governâ€" ment in Timmins, and how they would like to see Timmins governed. Being in business he has naturally faced the protlems of the business man, while the problems of the housewives and their husbands were also familiar to him, and he felt that special consideraâ€" tion and special understanding are needed in these days of increased costs of living and extra expenses not bearâ€" inz so heavily on other towns. Promises to Work in Interests of All in Town of Timmins Mr. Bailey credited past councils of ‘Timmins with doing their best, as was evidenced by the progress of the town, and he did not criticize what had been done, but rather pledged himself to endeavoring to continue the work of making Timmins a better town in which to live. * on e is e s s o m o s t on e oo s ++ 4 i4 +4 44 4 * * *# 4 }\\\\\\\\\\\\‘\\\\\S\\\\S\SSKSSSSS‘SSSS’S‘%SS:‘SS\S\S\\Sfi\\\\\\\.\.\\\_\\S\\.\.\,\S.\S\\s "Different problems are facing the 1940 council than have ever faced a town council during Timmins‘ history," £ * % Ne i A * ** v77777?///I’V?’//’Illl’////7?77?7?’5”?% If your house is hard to heat or you are interested in saving ntfoney, phone 4000. _ We will inspect your house, specify the proper type of insulation and give you an estimate.

And I think you‘re backing the right hockey team. But for the life of me I can‘t figure out why you put up with such a cold house. It‘s getting so Marge and I are afraid to bring the baby over for fear he‘ll catch cold." And Mr. Jones yells, "What do you mean ‘put up‘ with it? I‘ve just had the furnace fixed and i still use enough coal to heat three houses, and yeit the place is as cold as a barn‘!" So Pop comes back, quick as a flash, and says, "You‘re trying to heat the whole town. The coal is giving the heat alright but most of it is going up through the roof, What you need is insulation!" Then Mr. Jones asks, "Insulation? Do you think it would help much?" More Comfort and Save up to 4 of Your Coal Bill VOTE for LES. BAILEY As a miner and a businessman I am able to understand the proâ€" blems and needs of both and will be able to use this knowledge to advantage if elected to the town counceil. As a taxpayer and resident for the past ten years I am vitally interested in the progress and future of Timmins. I am willing to work wholeheartedly for the betterment of our town and for the people who. make Timmins their home. for Councillor said Mr. Bailey. "When the first great war was raging the town of Timmins was in its infancy; its annual assessâ€" ment and revenue hardly a tenth of toâ€"day; now the corporation of the town of Timmins is a million dollar concern, the management of which is no easy problem durin‘z these grave days which are facing the world. When electing a town council to manage your town during the crisis of the second great war, every voter should make certain that the man for whom he votes is a loyal British subject. I am not going to brand any one of my opâ€" ponents as Communists or red agitators but I would urge every one of you to make your selections carefully to guard against the possibility of any such men beinz elected as your candidates for the war period." On account of the decision of the Ontario Government to ban municipal elections for the duration of the war, or for two years in any case, Mr. Bailey suggested that at this election it was particularly important that only steady, honest and reliable citizens be elected to office. "During the trying times which loom before every Canadian for the duraâ€" tion of the war," he said, "I believe that a programme of economy should be enforced in the municipal field. The war at present is hardly three months old, but already ‘we are beginning to feel its effects in the .way of extra taxes and rising prices. Groceries, meets and other products used daily m every home have risen in price beâ€" cause of increased demands. Extra taxes have been imposed upon our electricity, on cigarettes, on all luxuries. and on _ good many necessities too. 1 am not speaking azainst these extra taxes. Canada is at war and must pay its way. But in order to keep within the standard of living, I am convinced that savings should be made right at home. I am an advocate of cutting down on all frills of municipal government for the war period. People in the new secâ€" ‘"tions of Timmins must have sidewalks Pop knows the answer. He says, "Good insulation will make a world of difference because it keeps the heat in, just like a thick blanket,. It will keep you warmer and save coal every winter." Mr. Jones lsoks really interested so Pop tells him all about Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis‘ insulating service. He says. ,"‘After examining the house, they advised Rock Wool Insulation. They supplied it in thick fAluffy squares and I laid them above the upstairs ceiling. That‘s al!l there was to it. The house has been comfortable and easy to heat ever since and takes far less coal. Unless you have ‘money to burn‘ you‘d better call Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis tomorrow!" In concluding Mr. Bailey said:â€"*As a taxpayer and resident for the past ten years I am vitally interested in the progress and future of Timmins. I am willinz to work wholeheartedly for the betterment of our town and for the people who make Timmins their home." and waterworks. Work on the mainâ€" tenance of our streets and public works must be continued, but all extra imâ€" provements, projects which will result in a marked rise in our tax rate should be lessened during these times when war taxes and rising prices are putting a drain on the taxpayer."‘ Fall Assizes to Begin in Cochrane Tuesday, Nov. 28 Several cases involving Timmins people are scheduled to come up at the Fall Assizes which begin in Cochrane on Tuesday, November 28. Among them are charges of attemptâ€" ed robbeéry against four Timmins youths, Albert Patry, Aurelle St, Jean, Raymond St. Jean and Maurice Brazâ€" eau.. The quartet, it is alleged, tried to break and enter the premises of the Ashdown Coal Company, in Timmins, on May 28. Antonio Pellizzari will face a charge of shootmw with intent to wound. Pelhzzau it is understood, may elect speedy trial. In the event that he does his case will not be heard. Several charges of being in possession of hizh grade gold ore are slated for Tuesday but there is a likelihood that they will not be heard at that time as counsel for the defence in all three cases is ill and may not be able to be present. 3 Henry Brendt, of Cochrane, will face a charge of theft. On December 5 there will be a nonâ€" jury sitting of the Supreme Court of Ontario for civil cases. Mr. Justice Chevrier is expected to be on the bench. LESLIE BAILEY 86 PINE ST. 8.
