(From The Richmond Newsâ€"Letter) Somewhere in Great Britain, the world now is informed, the Cana@ians have landed. They were ushered into barracks equipped with steam heat, with spring beds, with hot and cold running water, with bathsâ€"and even with receptacles for dull razor blades. As they saw the bright lights of these superb accommodations shining through the long and gloomy British night, they sang "Roll Out the Barrel." Possibly that was the only comfort that was lacking. The story i but that is n Doubts rise b to steam heat The story is "passed by the censor," but that is no guarantee of its truth. Doubts rise because of that reference to steam heat. Can that be propaganâ€" da? Is it really possible that steam heat is offéred in a country of open coal fires and cold backs? It may be so. Propagandist surely would not try to fool the mothers of those Canadian boys. Undoubtediy, somewhere in Briâ€" tain there is steam heat, but if there is enough to warm the Canadians, it is ore of the great advances of the war. No Americarn ever yet found steam heat in England more than a name. When the warmis over, there will be a rusih to find the place where a uiyision was keot waru. 4 Says Steam Heat in Britain sounds Like Propaganda Bus service between Kirkland Lake and Timmins, and intermediate points is suspended until further notice.

Continuing, the witness said that he brought Morris to the police station. The accused asked for a doctor but he was called away for a few minutes on another matter. When he returned Morris was sitting on a chair with his head down. He thought the man was drunk and didn‘t think a doctor necesâ€" sary. Police Sergeant Frank Devine said that when he arrived at the scene of an accident at the intersection of Pine Street and Second Avenue, where a car driven by Morris struck a horse and milk wagon, the accused was slightly unsteady on his feet. "I would say that he was in an intoxicated condition," the sergeant said. Magistrate Atkinson credited Roy‘s story rather than that of Fleury and dismissed the charge. No Doctor Because Oof the fact that Géorge Morris, who was charged with driving while drunk, did not get the services of a doctor when he asked for one, Magisâ€" trate Atkinson dismissed the charge against him. An impartial witness who was at a nearby service station, George Towns, decided the issue in the case. He said that after the"acci t he saw a map leap out of fhe Jef side of the auto and half run Inhlf*walk to the store The man was PFleury. _ t e e n \'* ‘"Well," replied Fleury, "I couldn‘t say that he is married and I couldn‘t say that he is not married." He denied emâ€" phatically that he ran away from the scene of the accident. "I can‘t run. I haven‘t the power to run," said the strapping witness. He denied that he saw Boudreau since the accident and threatened him if he came and gave evidence against him in court. Testifying on his own behalf, Roy said that he was at the home of Pleury‘s mother, where he got drunk. Fleury drove the car in which he was riding home. At the store they had an acciâ€" dent. Fleury got out on the driver‘s side and went into the store. He ‘was awaiting his return when he heard a noise at the car door. He could not see out of the windows because of the frost but though it was Fleury returnâ€" ing. He leaned over behind the wheel to open the door and it was an officer. He got out of the car, Fleury said, and went into the store to get cigarâ€" ettes. When he came out he did not go back to the scene of the accident but went straight home. He denied that he met Alphonse Boudreau on the way home and admitted to him that he had been the driver of the car at the time of the accident. _ Asked if Roy was his brotherâ€"inâ€"law, Fleury said that he supposed so. "Well," said the Crown, "He is married to your sister, isn‘t he?" Aime Fleury, the man Roy named as the driver of the car, said that he left his mother‘s house with Roy, in Roy‘s car. At ‘Bailey‘s store Roy struck anâ€" other car because he did not have any brakes on his own machine. ‘"‘The man was drunk when he was brought into the police station. He insisted that a man by the name of Fleury had been driving the car so we ‘went to the address he gave us as Fleury‘s. From what I learned thers I did not bring Fleury in," said Serâ€" geant Gilbert DesRoches. In the first case Constable Olaf Hanâ€" son said that he answered a call from Wilson Avenue on December 23. When he arrived he found one car parked and another on 200 feet ahead in a srowbank at the side of the ditch. Marks on the road indicated that the car in the ditch had come south on Cameron and west on Wilson avenue where it had crossed to the wrong side of the road. When he arrived, the Constable testiâ€" fied, the car motor was going "full blast" and the driver was trying to get it out of the ditch. Roy, who was beâ€" hind the wheel, was well under the influence of liquor. He could hardly stand up and smelled strongly of liquor. Two charges of drunk driving were dismised in police court on Tuesday afternoon, one against Alphonse Roy and another against George Morris.

This time most of the few students in Germany got out before war was declared. Canâ€" adians in Germany are mostly officers T‘wo of the German scientists have applied for diplomatic exeats on the basis of sickness. If they are found to be suffering from tuberculosis, cancer or certain similar diseases their request will be granted. The Germans «would like to exchange scientists for scientists. There are at least two eminent German scientists in Canada who arrived a few months beâ€" fore the war. So far as is known, there are no established Canadian scientists in Germany. So far no enthusiasm is shown in Ottawa for an exchange on the basis of twelve or even more for one. While the Canadians in Germany want to get home as fast as they can, many of the 12,000 ‘Germans on parole here want to stay in Canada. While ~there are fewer than 350 Germans interned in Canada, there are around 12,000 Germans on parole. At most there are only a hundred or so Canadians in Germany, but until Berlin submits a list to the International Red Cross at CGeneva there is no, way of knowing exactly how many Canadians are involved. Canada has already sent in its list of Germans here. Germany wants to trade sight unâ€" seen. The Nazi idea is to list prisoners by categories and not by numbers. Germany would send back Canadian women in exchange, for:> allâ€" German women. In other words, for six or keven or eight Canadian women now stranded in enemy territory Germany woull get some hundreds of German women.

Dr. Alex Finlayson said that Valenâ€" tenyowich had facial bruises, a closed left eye and a broken nose. Spokesman for the group, Mazzuca said that the accused cursed them when they wished him a merry Christmas. When he then struck one of their numâ€" ber they jumped on him.

At that the Crown objected and after some argument back and forth Magisâ€" trate Atkinson advised Mr. Cohen and Mr. Magone to talk the matter over "I think there are pretty full particuâ€" lars. I am holding this is good inforâ€" mation and supplies enough to put this man on trial," His Worship ruled, Mr. Cohen then asked for an adâ€" journment of three weeks. It was When Mr. Cohen further insisted that the information should contain actual quotations in the first person, Magistrate Atkinson ruled that the charge was specific enough. It would not change the meaning of the words contained in the charge if they had inverted commas around them, he said, By Clifford McBride In support of his claims Mr. Cohen cited the recent trial of Mickey Mcâ€" Donald on a charge of murder. In that case, said Mr. Cohen, the court ordered that the defence was entitled to copies of any statement in the hands of the Crown. The only grounds the accused had for asking for further clarification of the information was that the case for the defence might be prejudiced, retaliated Mr. Magone. He added that what the defence counsel apparently wanted was a complete report of the evidence that the Crown intended to submit. "I have in my possession a statement that was taken down by a police officer from a witness. However, I Oobject strenously to giving it to my friend," Mr. Magone said. Magistrate Atkinson said that he would hold that the information was gocd subject to Mr. Cohen‘s objections and the accused was asked to plead. He entered a plea of "not guilty" to the charge. "My client doesn‘t know what he is being charged with even at this late date," he said. Particular objection was taken to two phrases in the information, namely, "to the effect" and "words of like intent." These two phrases were far too indeâ€" finite said Mr. Cohen. Further objection to the form of the information ‘was taken by Mr. Cohen on Tuesday but Magistrate Atkinson ruled that it was specific enough in its present form and that he would hear the trial under it. Clifford R. Magone, special prosecutor for the Attorneyâ€"General‘s department, is handling the case for the Crown. Mr. Cohen is acting for the defence. Mr. Millard was again released on bail of $5,000. Bondsmen for him are Mike Matymitz and Fred Wasyluk. "‘That Charles H. Millard, at a mectâ€" ing held in the Goldfields Theatre in the Town of Timmins, did make stateâ€" ments to the effect that we should have democracy in Canada before we go to Europe to fight for democracy; that there was not a great deal of sense in going to Europe to fight Hitlerism while there was Hitlerism right here in Canada; that men only join the army to make sure of eating regularly, and words of like intent being intended to prejudice the recruiting of His Maâ€" jesty‘s forces." The trial of Charles H. Millard, C.ILO. officiai, who is charged with a breach of the Defence of Canada Regulations during a speech here in the Goldfiields Theatre, was deferred for the second time on Tuesday afternoon before Magistrate Atkinson. The charge against Millard, which recently was revised after counsel for the defence, J. L.

So may sucâ€" ceeding divisions if they wish.There is no compulsion about it. In the last war, all four divisions had special insignia. The First Division had its red patch, the Second its symbol representing "«C02," the Third a dumbell, from which the famous Dumbells got their name, and the Fourth a maple leaf. It was flown on one ship in the convoy that recently took troops of the First Division to Britain. It was on that ship because on it were General McNaughton and his staff. It is fiying now, no doubt, in front of some army hut near Aldershot, for in that hut are the offices of General McNaughton and his staff, When the division goes to France, the flag will accompany its commander, No other unit will fly that particular ensign, (From the Edmonton Journal) A good deal of excitement appears to have been aroused in sormme quarters, and especially in some newspapers, by the announcement that the headâ€" quarters of the First Canadian Division, now overseas, is flying a distinctive flag. These exciteable ones have jumped to the conclusion that the new standard is, in fact, a new national flag for Canada. It is nothing of the sort. It is a divisional flag, or a divisional inâ€" signia, to be flown only where Majorâ€" General McNaughton establishes his headquarters, and date able First Division Flag is Not the "Dominion‘s" Flag (Bachelor of Music) (GTCM., ATSC., ALCM.)} TEACHER: or bm(,n\(.
