They have very litle sense of humour. They learned to run the hard way. One has beaten the world‘s best runners and the other is determined to -â€"and very prdbalbly will. This time. however, when Maki runs. he will have more incentive than Nurmi ever had. Nurmi, after all. was running for a charity by the name of Nurmi. Maki is running in the name of ordinary humanity. Bornâ€"on January 7th, 1940. to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Carlson of 79 Middle- ton avenue-a son. to her Four Births Registered Since Monday This Week Nurmi had no sense of humour. He was a plain, man with a single mind- cdness of purpose. That was to run faster than any other man in the world. For years he did just that. Like the Finns who have used plain ordinary, common-sense to beat the Russians this far in their struggle, Nurmi learned to run in a common- sense way. He developed his high stride and his sense of pace by holding to the coupling of the local train as it went out of town and running behind or; the road bed, lifting his feet high to avoid stubbing his toes on the ties. “Ritola, Ritola, all the time Ritola," Nurmi would mutter. He would then enter the two miles and break Ritola's record. And so it went all across the continent. Since November Maki has been fight- ing actively. Nug'mi has been busy trucking refugees out of Helsinki. Good work but not as good as they will do in America. Maki holds world's records at two miles, three miles, 3,000 metres, 5,000 metres and 10,000 metres. [Nurmi‘ in in his day, held all those records. Fif- teen years ago, he packed sporting arenas and turned them away at the gate. There are many stories about him which approach the legendary. In the days of his grand American tour of 1925-26, for example, he ran against another Finn, Willie Ritola. Nurmi would go out and break Ritola's world’s record for the mile and then Ritola would promptly break Nurmi’s record for the two miles. - as two army division would do at home on the battle front. They are Taisto Maki, greatest runner of the present day, and his manager; PaaNo Nurmi, greatest runner ten years ago. These two phlegmatic Finm will run on tracks across the continent. The money they makeâ€"and it will be plenty, will be used for Finnish relief. Two Finns arrived in New York last week-end. They will probably do as much while abroad to defeat Russia Thus has the Comintern, which Ger- many fought so long and so hard not so long ago, been enrolled to serve the ends of Germany. Another interesting angle and one which illustrates the vaccilation of Rus- so-German relations over the past few years. is that Georgi Dimitroff is in charge of the bureau in Germany. Dimitrofi‘, a few years ago, was one of the Communists in Germany who were accused of starting the Reichtag fire. His bold accusations at his trial to the effect that it was Hitler’s men them- selves who started the fire, nearly gave Goering apoplexy. Not only has the Comintern, which used to be the Russian bureau for the dissemination of propaganda for the world-wide spread of Communism and which now is headquarters for Russian espionage both inside and outside the Soviet, been permitted to open a cen- tral office under Nazi protection, but a special wireless station has been allot- ed for the spread of its defeatist pro- paganda to the Allied Nations. ' A lover of paradox, the late G. K. Chesterton for example, would find the fact that Hitler has invited Russia to open a propaganda bureau in Germany, extremely amusing. tossâ€"In loving memory of Sam Ross who passed away suddenly on Feb- ruary 6, 1939.

I would advise that, this scheme would entail an expenditure of around $100000.” Whist Drive on Friday Auspices 0f the Legion “By building a. new bridge on Fourth Street traffic could be maintained over the present bridge and thus the ex- pense of building a temporary bric go during construction would be elimin- ated. “As promised you I consulted with the Deputy Ministe1 as to what should be done with regards to this problem. :Mr. Smith was associated with the earliest history of the Town of Timmins and he expresses a sentimental inter- est in seeing that the town is properly developed. He agrees with me that the present bridge is obsolete as far as present and future needs of the town are concerned. He is, therefore, not sympathetic towards spending large recurring sums to maintain the struc- ture. He is, on the contrary, of the opinion that a new up-to-date bridge of adequate width should be built on Fourth Street. He realizes that money is hard to obtain at the present time but that something must be done soon. He put forth the suggestion, therefore. that the abutments and piers for a new bridge could be built and financed this year and the superstructuie built next year.

The letter was as follows: ”Following my visit and inspection of the present bridge I secured from Mr. Hamer, Div- ision Engineer. a copy of the estimate that his staff prepared for the rehabil- itation of the present bridge.
