Vol. XXIV. No. Plaque on Hall at Kapuskasing in Honour of A. 8. Ochs Memorial in Northern Town to New York Publisher. In its last issue, The Northern Triâ€" bune, of Kapuskasing, makes special reference to the plaque on display at the Kapuskasing Community Club in honour of the late Adolph Ochs, pubâ€" lisher of The New York Times. The late Mr. Ochs, who was among the largest shareholders in the Spruce Falls Power and Paper Co., took a very keen and helpful interest in the beauâ€" tification of the town of Kapuskasing. The Northern Tribune says:â€"â€" Empire Block _ Timmins 14â€"28 Community Club. It is a magnificent exemplification of the almost extinct art of highâ€"grade illumination by coâ€" lored pigments, at which monks were adept in the middle ages. "The beautiful plaque dedicated to the memory of Adolf S.

Under this are the figures 1858â€"1935, and the words "Publisher, Businessâ€" man, Humanitarian." Then follows the text of this fitting memorial to one so notable, in these words. That Kapuskasing is regarded as the outstanding industrial community of the North Country is due in large measure to the vision and humanitarâ€" ianism of Mr. Ochs. In the formative period of the community Mr. Ochs‘ concern for the comfort and happiness of the men and women, boys and girls who were to be Kapuskasing‘s citiâ€" zens, was manifest. He took deep interest in the layout of its streets, the design of its public buildings and in its parks and playgrounds. He desired P.0.

Timmins First in Its Own Class and Third in All The Dominion in H.L P. From Hon. J. L. Ralston, Dominion Minister of Finance, comes the month=â€" ly report showing the number of Home Improvement loans made to the end | of October, together with the total | loans involved. It will be seen that,i in its classâ€"cities of 20,600 to 40,000, Timmins is far in the lead. Timmins has 1680 loans with a total of $1,553,â€" 1MA, while the next nearest in this class is Sudbury with 1514 loans totalling | $923,212. Timmins has used nearly double the amount used by Sudbury under the Home Improvement Plan. "‘The long lead enjoyed by Timmins is , clearly indicated by the fact that the third in this class in standing is Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, a noted mining where there are to date 637 loans totalâ€" ling $245,816. If Timmins stands high in Home Improvement work in its class of towns, it is still more remarkable the way the town has grown away from the ordinâ€" ary run of tewns and cities throughout the Dominion. In Canada in the matâ€" ter of HIIP. loans Timmins is easily third, being exceeded only by Toronto and Montreal. A comparison of the figures for different towns and cities should be of general interest.

Published at Timmins, Ont., Canads, Every MONDAY and THURSDAY Two New Councillors at Head of Poll at Kapuskasing For the first time in twelve years Kapuskasing this year nad an election for councillors. Mayor E. S. Noble, formerly of Timmins, was reâ€"elected by acclamation. There were eight nominâ€" ees for the six places on the council board. Two new councillorsâ€"J. H. Rockette and Adam M. Forbesâ€"were at the top of the poll, the one receiving 512 votes and the other 489. The other four elected were:â€"John W. Fanning, Pierre Bedard, Angus Anderson and Fred Louis Tenearre. Messrs Rochette and Forbes, both employees of the Spruce Falls Power and Paper Co., disâ€" placed Messrs A. B. Bower and J. E. Thomas, who were members of this year‘s council. About sixty per cent of the possible vote was polled. An odd feature of the voting was the fact that few ballots seemed to be marked for more than four candidates. In quite a few cases a ballot would be marked for only two or three candidates. Apparâ€" ently Kapuskasing was trying out the oldâ€"time system of "plumping" for fayâ€" ourite candidates. 1 Toronto Telegram: â€" You can alâ€" ways learn the truth from children.

Member of Local Legion Calls Attention to Charges ‘of Alleged Patâ€" ronage. To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins Dear Sir:â€"In view of the controâ€" versy appearing in prominent publicaâ€" tions alleging patronage by the Govâ€" ernment in awarding war contracts, and particularly in of Col. W. W. Fosâ€" ter, President of Canadian Legion, beâ€" ing mentioned as a central figure in one of the companies holding certain of these costâ€"plus war contracts, I would susgest to Col. Poster that he resign as President of the Canadian Legion and as Director of Auxiliary Services. Col. Foster‘s normal position in life would appear to be as Chief Constable of Vancouver from which position he is on leave of absence. In the meanâ€" time he has allowed himself to be alligned with an alleged political scandal. There seems to be no doubt about his being interested in a most unusual termed war contract on the Pacific Coast. The first principle and policy under Letters Patent of The Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League is that the Legion shall be democratic, nonâ€"sectarian and shall not be affiliatâ€" ed to, or connected directly or indirec:tâ€" ly with, any political party or organâ€" ization. The Canadian Legion cannot be conâ€" sidered as free of politics when its exeâ€" cutive head is alleged to be saturated in political patronage under war conâ€" tracts. I think the present situation calls for an immediate resignation from Col. Foster as head of the Canadian Legion. The Legion cannot allow its executive officers of Dominion or Proâ€" vincial Commands to become even enâ€" tangled in political scandal no matter how remote.

Timmins, Deoc. 12, 19839 Al Wetmore Published at Timmins, Ont.,. Canada, Every MONDAY and THURSDAY A year ago, when Herr Hitler led Europe to the brink of war, vast beâ€" hindâ€"theâ€"scense preparations were beâ€" ing made throughout the Empire for any eventuality, The possibility of a new and more catastrophic conflict constituted then, as it does today, a threat against democracy and all the decent things in life that people of British blood hold dear. Canadga was not found lagging and authorities be«â€" gan formulating plans to place this country in a state of readiness. The Canadian Legion, representative of 175,000 veterans of the 1914â€"1918 struggle, did not underâ€"estimate the significance of the situation. A rallying cry was sounded. The old warriors had left home and loved ones twentyâ€" five years ago to answer the call to duty, responded as one man. The Legion, from Halifax to Vancouver, was united in effort. At the height of the crisis the Doâ€" minion President, Brigadier W. W. Fosâ€" ter, DS.O., V.D., now Director of Auxiliary Services, Department of Naâ€" tional Defence, convened a meeting of the Dominion Command. Spokesmen for the thousands of men who are members of the Legion‘s vast organiza=â€" tion approved what was to become one of the most historic peaceâ€"time comâ€" munications ever forwarded to the Government. communication conveyed the message that the entire resources of the Legion were at the disâ€" posal of the Government against the emergency of war. During the jittery months that folâ€" lowed, the task of putting Canada in a state of preparedness was never reâ€" laxed. â€" Nor were the efforts of the Legion. When the Allied Powers finâ€" ally were forced to declare that a state of war existed against the German Reich, the Legion again convened. This time war was grim reality. The Legion executives discussed matâ€" ters with the Minister of National Deâ€" fence. The same day they waited upon the Prime Minister. To both they presented concrete plans whereby the Legion could make its maximum conâ€" tribution to Canada‘s war effort. The result was notable for its expression of confidence. Thousands of veterans, of course, had already enlisted in the armed forces, but there were thousands of men who, unfit for active service, were anxious to do their bit. As a result of representâ€" ations made by the Legion on behalf of all veterans‘ organizations these men volunteered to augment the RXC.M.P. and provincial and municipal police in guarding harbours, power plants, bridges, railway stations and other vital points subject to sabotage by enâ€" emy agents. The military authorities, in addition, were offered more than 600 Legion Branch headquarters to be used as clubrooms, and in some cases as reâ€" gimental headquarters, for the new reâ€" cruits for whom books, magazines and local entertainment were also provided. At the outset, however, the experiâ€" ence of the first Great War had imâ€" pressed upon all veterans the necessity of providing for the welfare of the young men enlisting in Canada‘s nayâ€" al, land and air forces. As old soldiers who knew the suffering, the hardships and the deprivations of that struggle and as, in thousands of cases, the fathers of the new recruits, they felt that it was their duty as well as their indisputable right to provide for the needs of these young men who have taken up arms,. During its consultations with the Prime Minister, therefore, the Legion had offered to establish a special orâ€" ganization for this purpose. The offer was officially accepted following crea=â€" tion of the Directorate of Auxiliary Services, Department of National D¢â€" fence, and a few days later a Dominion Charter was issued to ‘"The Canadian Legion War Services," with Lt.â€"Genâ€"«â€" eral Sir Perey Lake, KCB., KXCMG,, of ictoria, as Honorary President, Maâ€" jorâ€"General John A.
