Vol. XXV. No. 49 Langdon Langdon In pursuance of its campaign to reâ€" duce unnecessary accidents as well as to prevent avoidable sickness, the Health League of Canada today issued a warnâ€" ing against recklessness by young boaâ€" sters and cyclists, Barrister â€"~ Solicitor â€"â€" Notary 10 CEDAR ST. 8. TIMMINS PHONE 2600 Money to Loan on First Morlgages MacBrien Bailey Dean Kester, K.C. The growing use of the bicycle imâ€" poses an extra strain on motorists, and riders should., both with a view to their awn safety and out of consideration for ctheds, study discipline and restraint in the handling of their machines. "Showing off" by riding with hands off the handlebars is as dangerous as it is foolish. The rider has no control over his machine and he is likely to be thrown coff without warning if the front wheel strikes even a slight obstruction. Cyclists should avoid swerving across the lanss of vehicles coming behind them, and should stay close to the sideâ€" walk as a matter of habit. JAMES R. MacBRIEN FRANK H.

Pacius â€" Fined $25, Costs For Driving Auto In Careless Way Police Pick up Suspicious Characters but They Have Money and So Are Not V ages. Rudy Lind was convicted of careless driving in police court on Tuesday afternoon and assessed $25 and costs. His right to drive was cancelled for thirty days, Police officers said that Lind turned on to Balsam Street just off Fourth Avenue. He struck one parked car on the wrong side of the road and drove it into another. Police said he was well under the influence of liquor. A doctor examined him but said that he was not drunk encugh to charge with being inâ€" toxicated while in charge of an autoâ€" mobile. Lind said that the steering wheel on his car locked. He admitted that he had been drinking beer. A defence witness, Stewart Brillinger, said that he examined the steering mechanism on Lind‘s car. It was possible, he stated, that the steering did lock. Peacemaker Freed Hector Curcini alias "Tops‘" Tullino James Mills, and Andrew Mariscotto all were charged with being disorderly by street fighting. Mills and Curcini had their charges adjourned. In the case of Mariscectto, police said that he became involved in the scuffle, which occurred on third avenue, when he tried to act as a peacemaker. For being a peacemaker rather than a belligerent the charge against Mariscotto was disâ€" missed,. Vags with Lawy®r Inasmuth as the cnarge of.vagrancy alleges that a man is "without visible means of support" it was rather strange to see Jean Pierre Thibeault and Jean Paul Labelle, who were charged with vagrancy, represented by a lawyer. Lawyers are not generally believed to work for ncthing. Magistrate Atkinson noticed the fact and commented upon it. â€" â€"Police said that they picked the pair up in a lane, after watching them sno0p arcund stores in the vicinity of Third Avenue and Pine Street. They noticed their footprints and found similar marks around L. B. Roy‘s store, the Star Transfer and Mose Nash Motors. They may have been suspicious charâ€" acters but they each had $3.10 on their persons when they were picked up so they were not vagrants. Charges were dismissed. The following is an editorial from Friâ€" day‘s isue of the Northern Néews:â€" ; To those who somewhat cravenly say that it‘s all over if the enemy start serâ€" ious and systematic bombing of Engâ€" land, we offer the thoughts of an Engâ€" lishman who recently wrote to a British Columbia friend. There‘ll Always Be An England! Build it Better "They all say the Germans will bomb London soon. Well, if it comes, I guess we will survive. If they destroy Lonâ€" don we will build a better London when it is all over. A streamlined London. But if they think they can shatter Briâ€" tis‘h morale by bombing civilians here then the Germans are crazy." With her crew lining the decks, HMS.

For 177 days, with other members of TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 20TH, 1940 AUSTRALIA ALSO GUARDS THE SEAS Rescue Missing Pilot from Bush in Little Long Lac Area Flying Officer Missing for Six Days Found by Three Miners. A despatch this week from Geraldâ€" ton says that Flying Officerâ€" Edwin Albin Dixen, 40â€"yearâ€"old veteran of First Great War air battles, is safe in hespital, recovering from the effects of wandering in the rocky bush country of Northwestern Ontario after his Royal Canadian Air Force plane was forced down. Three miners on a weekâ€"end fishing trip in an outboard motor baoat were haled by Dixon on Sunday and they tock him to hospital at neanrby Little Long Lac. He was suffering from exâ€" posure, lack of food and from severe insect bites ibut his condition was not serious. It was after leavirg Kapuskasing, he told his rescuers, that fuel shortage forced him to "pancake" on a lake "some miles" from where he was found. Dixon, formerly of Vermilion, Alta., and Edmonton, was not certain of loâ€" cation of the lake on which he left the plane but from his description it was surmised it was Big Long Lac. Alone in the wilderness, Dixon deâ€" cided to attempt to reach the railroad on foot and he was only about six miles short of this objective on Sunday when he hailed the three miners, Ted Cox, Jack Martin and Art Agombar. Cox reported Dixon was in good spirâ€" its despite his exhausted condition and suggested a celebration rather than hospital confinement. Number of Arrests at North Bay and Sudbury In the past ten days there have been a number of men of Italian birth taken into charge at both North Bay and Sudbury following Mussolint‘s entry into the war. Similar arrests are also reported from Sault Ste. Marie where there is a large colony of people of Italian origin. Sudbury Star:â€"They say there are 5.000 surplus doctors in Canada,.

W. Peacock accompanied her }.Jsband the Chief Secretary of the Salydion Army in Canada, on his official visit here. Mry. Peacock simply walked into the hearts of all who met her, both her talent and her personal chanm winning friends without numâ€" ber. Mrs, Peacock is the National Secreâ€" tary of the Canadian Red Shield Woâ€" men‘s Auxiliaries, an organization affiliated with the Salvation Army War Services, and providing for thousâ€" ands of women across the Dominion an effective avenue of war s>rvice. During her visit here she inspected the work of the local Red Shield unit and was pleased at what had been accomplished so far, and urged aifl to renewed and increased effort. This is the Attitude of the Army Says Mrs. Geo. W. Peacock. Mrs. Peacock expressed amazement at the remarkable growth of the North in recent years. Years ago she had worked as a Salvation Army officer at New Liskeard, Sault Ste. Marie, Sturâ€" geon Falls and Parry Sound and knew the North of earlier days. To see such cities as Timmins and Kirkland Lake developed and prosperous was a pleasing surprise. When interviewed by The Advance Mrs. Peacock stated already the Salâ€" vation Army has despatched sixty large cases of comforts to Canadian soldiers overseas, in addition to thouâ€" sands of articles given away in this country. "One of the most worthâ€"while phases of our work," she added, "is the mendâ€" ing room! In many centres this inâ€" valuable aid to enlisted men is operâ€" ating. When they want their uniâ€" forms repaired, trousers shortened, wingsy or stripes sewn onâ€"they turn to the Red Shield women!" "If there is any Oone field in which the Salvation Army strives to excel," Mrs. Peacock emphasised, "It is perâ€" sonal service. We try to make éAch man feel that every Salvationist is his friend. Hundreds of stories come to our Toronto Headquarters, indicatâ€" ing the complete confidence these men have in our people. "For instance in one centre not long ago a soldier divulged to our women officer that a nsw arrival was expectâ€" ed in his home shortly. There were no clothes ready for it, as prior to enâ€" listment he had been out of work and had not yvet ‘caught up‘ financially. "Salvationists got busy, and by the time the new little bundle of humanâ€" ity came into the worid all was in readiness." Mrs. Peacock informed The Advance that hundreds of articles of clothing have been sent to Great Britain for the exacuges, and distributed through the Salvation Army there. North Bay Nugget:â€"Winston Churâ€" chill talked from the shoulder in more than one way . . . he exposed the danâ€" ger that exists and at the same time prescribed the preventative.

Published at Tmmins, Ont., Canada FKvery MONDAY and THURSDAY Minneapolis, June 20â€"C. O. Gengelâ€" bach, of Portland, Ore., underâ€"priviâ€" leged ‘child chairman, told Kiwanis convention delegates here today that 2,036 Kiwanis clubs in the United States and Canada are assisting physiâ€" cally handicapped and other underâ€" rivileged children. Service Programme _ Also Includes Other Important Items. "«Our program is to correct physical defects, such as curvature of the gpine, paralysis, defects in speech, eye sight and hearing and other general conâ€" ditions which handicap children from living a normal life," declared Mr. Gengellbach. The 1940â€"41 program includes physiâ€" ‘cal, mental and moral ‘phases assistance. The 110,000 memibership is asked to become interested in other supplemental activities, such as proâ€" viding instruction for character buildâ€" ing, of school conditons and similar activities, The health work planned includes clinics, hospitalization, preventoriums, camps and the supplying of clothing and food. For education and moral development there is financial assistâ€" ance, juvenile court work, establishment of classes for subâ€"normal children, vocational assistance and boys‘ clubs. Moral and spiritual development will call for ccoperation with churches, homes, schools and business ‘concerns in the teaching of citizenship and charâ€" acter building. "Fach club must chart its urban and rural communities," Mr. Gengelbach urged, "and with the help of county health authoritiee, nurses and ‘the medical profession ‘find children who need help. These surveys will find thousands of children who are in need of immediate help to overcome their handicaps," he said. Urbanâ€"Rural Relations Agricultural ‘activities to increase better cultural, social and economic relationships between town and country people will ‘be promoted during the next 12 months by 2,100 Kiwanis clubs according to George Kienholz, of Pierre, SD., agricultural chairman. _ The 1940â€"41 program will include sponsoring dairy and grain exhibits, county fairs, cattle shows, agricultural implement demonstrations, introducing new :farm machinery equipment and developing curbh markets. ‘Thete Wwill also "‘be held hundreds of farm instiâ€" tutes. theâ€" sponsoring of farm ‘short courses and encouragement. given to the raising of a larger var lety of xfah'd products. Thigs fall expositions Are ‘to be promoted to interest many new communities to give farmers a chance to display their products and win prize aawards, Mr. Kienholz said. Assistance will also be given for' rural youth activities, with Kiwanis assisting young farm people financially to carry on farm projects, to purchase pureâ€"bred stock and poultry and to give farm youth an opportunity to be contestants in country, state and proâ€" vincial fairs. Calf, pig, egg, poultry and corn clubs sponsored by the service organization are popular among rural boys and girls all over the North Amâ€" erican continent. "Gone With the Wind" Susan Myrick, of Macon, Ga., techniâ€" cal advisor on manners, customs and southern accent for the film "Gone With the Wind," told Kiwanis that had the ‘picture been a failure she could never have returned to Georgia to live. "If the movie did not live up to the Southerners‘ idea of their accent and to the picture of the Old South, as painted by Margaret Mitchell, T might rave been blamed for it," said Miss Myrick. Especially did she fear, Miss Myrick said, that David O. Selznick, producer of the picture, would expect her to teach the sort of Southern accent she had heard in many movies of the south and from many radio speakers who attempted to imitate Southern speech, "I was scared they‘d want me to teach Clark Gable to say something like this: ‘Honey Chile, yall show is the nicest littel ole gull Ah evah done seen.‘ Tmitators of Southern accent, Mibs' Myrick stated, often make the mistake of overdoing the tendency to slow speech the usual Southerner seems to have. Actually the Southern speaks as many words per minute as does the resident of other parts of this country "We produce a drawling effect because‘ we have a tendency to make two syl-‘ lables of a oneâ€"syllable word,‘ she reâ€": marked. | After considerable discussion, said gdGents in <lhG J10i1INYE, AWIINLILE LUIldMAL Miss Myrick, the authorities at Selzâ€"| the pair of men were begging for food nick International decided to use the at midnight, grod stage English which all are ac-!. customed to hear from the best perâ€"| Orillia Packet and ‘Fimes: 1. ‘W. formers.

Police said that they had reâ€" ‘oeived numerous complaints from resiâ€" dents in â€"~the Hollinger townsite that the pair of men were begging for food ‘at midnight. "We are objecting to being charged in view of the fact that my brother is hew in Timmins and not familiar with its traffic regulations and that there were six other cars parked in a similar way, and not one owner was charged. The reason that we were charged is because we spoke back to someone who told us not to block traffic. We didn‘t know it but they were police," said Mrs, Gene Colombo in police court on Tuesâ€" day.
