Atiendance at the Timmins Market on Tuesday was remarkably good, this beinz one of the best days of the marâ€" ket at its new location, 112, 114, 116 and 118 Cedar street south. Many farmers from the district were present, occupyâ€" ing the separate mouses where the market is now held, and sold large quantities of meats and eggs. The meats are very reasonably priced, and newlyâ€"laid eggs sell at 45â€" 50 cents per dozen. The eggs are of a good size, and therefore are greatly appreciated in preparing cakes, etc. Proposal to Ban Municipal Elections Should be Dropped (From Sault Ste. Marie Star) TFor the suspension of municipal elecâ€" tions there is no justification. Canada is not in the immediate war zone. The holding of municipal elections will not in any way jeopardize the efficient carrying on of the war. On the other hand, there may be much to be said for a twoâ€"year term for municipal councillors and alderâ€" men. That is, however, quite a difâ€" ferent thing from a twoâ€"year term for councils. One of the objections adâ€" vanced to the present municipal elecâ€" tion system is that there is always a danger that there will be elected an entirely new council, none of the memâ€" bers of which have had intimate contact with municipal affairs. In practise, in Sault, at least, it is a theoretical rather than a practical danger, The Sault has not had since it became a city any council of which most of the members have not previously held office. Yet it does remain a possibility. To get over that, it has frequently been suggested that aldermen should be elected for twoâ€"year terms with half of them retiring each year. That system would assure that there would always be continuity as half the alderâ€" men would have been there for at least a year. At the same time it would assure that the citizens would have an opportunity to express themselves on municipal questions every year. A twoâ€"year term for the council as a whole would, however, probably agâ€" gravate rather than help the question. It is one thing to get a capable man to keep on offeiring himself for a oneâ€" year term on the council. It is quite another to get him to do the same thing for two year when he has already served that time. The general opposition to the proâ€" posal which has been evident throughâ€" out the province, as shown by the fact that the Port Arthur aldermen, like those of the Sault, have joined in opâ€" posing it, should cause the government to give new consideration to the whole proposal. Twoâ€"year terms for aldermen and councillors, with elections every year, might have a chance of public apâ€" proval. Drowned at Kapuskasing Taking Short Cut Over Ice Northern Tribune, Kapuskasing:â€" Taking a risky short cut across the new ice on Remi last Saturday, returnâ€" ing from a visit to Dr. G. M. Soucie at Moonbeam, a truck owned and driven by John Credger struck an air pocket and slithered into the hole, the brakes failing to act properly. A passenger, Gilbert Gagnon of Remi Lake, aged 21, was drowned when the truck subâ€" merged; but the driver escaped through a window in the truck cab. Publisbed at Timmins, Ont.,. Canada, Every MONDAYX and THURSDAY Credger got to shore and gave the alarm, and rescue parties rushed to the scene to try to extricate the young bush worker. It was not until 11 a.m. next day, Sunday, that Auex. Lepage brought out the body of Gagnon from ten feet of water, he being one of a party who assisted O.P. Constable Strickland.

NAPOLEON AND UNCLE ELBY St. Louis Kiwanis Give Salute to Canada as Best Neighbour in World There is no doubt but that service clubs do foster friendliness between individuals. They also seek to widen that goodwill by creating amity beâ€" tween nations. The latter idea is one of the main pianks in the Kiwanis Club platform. The West St. Louis, Missouri, Kiwanis Club following this thought published a tribute to Canada, apparâ€" ently with the idea of offsetting any misunderstanding of the feelings of the people of the United States in reâ€" gard to a recent adadress by Col. Lindâ€" bergh. As so much publicity was given to the unfriendly address by Lindbergh, Kiwanis Clubs in Canada have sought similar publicity for the notable tribute of the people of the home town of Lindbergh. A large number of daily newspapers in Canada have publishned the article, but not before it was given very wide publication in the dailies and weeklies of the United States. Here is the article. It should be read by every Canadian as giving the conâ€" sidered opinion of the majority of the people of the United States:â€" Salute to Canada (From the Official Paper of the West St. Louis, Mo., Kiwanis Club.

Canada, Every MONDAY and THURSDAY An address by Joseph Bradette, Fedâ€" eral member for this riding, on Factors of Unity," launched a coâ€"oper«â€" ative service club drive to raise funds for a Christmas fund for the underâ€" privileged at a huge banquet in the Empire Hotel on Monday night. More than one hundred and twentyâ€" five service club members were present at the meeting. They heard plans disâ€" cussed for a series of broadcasts, culâ€" minating in an auction broadcast on December 22, Present were members of the Timâ€" mins and South Porcupine Kiwanis clubs, the Timmins and Schumacher Lions Club and the Timmins Kinsmen Club. "This camp might be described as a crucible in which all the racestof Euâ€" rope are melted down to make good Canadians", said Mr. Bradette prefacâ€" ing his address which dealt mainly with the election in Quebec on October 25, and the elements in it which might have been dangerous to Canadian unity. The first indication he had of the seriousness of the situation in Quebec, said Mr. Bradette, was when he was attending a Red Cross meeting in his home town, Cochrane. At that time Magistrate E. R. Tucâ€" ker, who was elected President, said that the Premier of Quebec apparently was not one with the rest of the people in the Province. He realized that the Magistrate was right, said Mr. Braâ€" dette, and felt that Canadian unity was in jeopardy. He felt that the elecâ€" ion would not be a political vote but one of national interest and that it was his duty to take part in the campaign. "For more than forty years in Quebec there was a Liberal government. Some barnacles became attached, not by reaâ€" son of the fact that the party had such leaders as it did, but by reason of the simple fact that it had been in power so long," said Mr. Bradette, tracing the political history of the Proince, In 1929 and 1930 the depression came and the surplus population which, in the ordinary course of events, would have left the province and gone to the United States, was forced to remain at home. It was necessary each year 140 establish 100,000 young men on the farms. There was a sentiment in one secâ€" tion of the population, which included lishâ€"speaking Protestants in Quebec. Premier Dupfessis, that the governâ€" mnt had been toco tolerant of the Engâ€" In 1936 when Duplessis was elected by the greatest majority ever given a Preâ€" mier it was on that cry that he came into power. Once in, the Premier would have Once in, the Premier would have bsen good friends with both the French and the Englishâ€"speaking people, Howâ€" ever, the seeds of discord had been sown and he had helped to plant them. Feeling was strong, in some sections, against the Protestants and the Jewish people. After three years in office Premier Duplessis called an election. That was his right and he was quite entitled to do so had he not been making political capital out of a critical situationâ€"the nation was at war. In a speech at Three Rviers he seâ€" verely criticised the Federal governâ€" ment for participating Canada in the war. "The moment he made that speech the question became a national one. It was a moment of danger, In the Fedaral house Mr. Lapointe brought French people voted for Duplessis he the issue to a head. He said that if the would consider their action a criticism of himsel{f, and he and his French colâ€" leagues in the cabinet would resign their seats. "It was a wonderful gesture from a fine Canadian", said Mr. Bradette, Mr. Bradette assured his listeners that the vote on Qceober 25, so overâ€" wholmingly against Duplessis, was not. an imperialistic vote. Had Great Briâ€" tain been trying to aggrandize herself in Africa or in Asia or in any other country the French would have been against. ° "However", he said, «‘The French pgople knew that Great Britain and France were fighting for the cause Of peace.

Illustrating his address with numerâ€" ous stories and exprpts from .his own personal experience, Mr. Bradette amusingly told of the time he had to learn the English language and accusâ€" tome himself to the English manner of thought and custom. He advised the assembled clubmen to go out of their way to try and learn at least a little of the French language and to understand the French people. It would well repay them, he said, His knowledge of the English language had repaild him many times over.
