PAE ETX The Advante last week referred to Rev. Fr. McManus, of Kirkland Lake, formerly of Timmins, joining the CA. BF. as chaplain. The Northnern News on Tuesday give, the following further reference : ~â€" Om the eve of his departure for a training camp as a memkber of the Chaplain Service of the Canadian Acâ€" tive Service Force, Rev. T. J. McManus, assistant to Rev. Fr. Roy McMahon at Holy Name Church was on Priday evening made the recipient of presâ€" entations from the clergy and the laiety of the parish, The clergy presented him with a sleeping bag, which, it was felt, would be a most useful accessory to him while on active service, while the laiety presented him with a purse. Rev. Fr. McManus Honoured by Friends at Kirkland Lake Address and Presentation Made to Priest Formerly Stationed Here. Fr. McMahon himself made the preâ€" sentation of the sleeping bag, while an address on behalf of the laiety was read by P. J. Burns, the presentation of the purse being made by T. L. Sulliâ€" van. The event took place in the church, following the evening service of Beneâ€" diction. The address to Fr. McManus said, in part:â€" "The operation of the Catholic Chapâ€" lain service under His Grace Bishop Nelligan, of Pembroke diocese, is in capable hands. One of his assistants is that true citizen and friend of the north country Major the Rev, John R. O‘Gorman. You served under Father O‘Gorman in times of peace and you are to be congratulated that he has chosen you early to assist him in time of war. "In your new office as army chapâ€" lain, you are in the very first ranks of our defenders, spiritually as well as temporally. We have every conâ€" fidence, Father McManus, that you will do this work faithfully and well. "(Ome of your outstanding interests in this parish has been your continued work among our young people We are all aware of the example and leadership you have given to the Caâ€" Boâ€"Gi Club. There is no effort of greater‘importance to our church than the leading and directing of the habits and leisure of our young Catholis men and women. Much credit goes to you Father, for this work in our midst The Caâ€"Boâ€"Gi Club occupies a position of importance second to none in this parish. All our parishioners are proud of it and we thank you for furnishing the leadership without which its growth and influence would not have been possible.

The story of two young fellows claiming to be deserters from the Royal Air Force in Britain comes from Kirkâ€" land Lake. The Northern News gives the account as follows:â€" Teck Township Police are holding in custody â€" two selfâ€"confessed youthful deserters from the Royal Air Force, who were picked up in Swastika: on Friday evening and arrested on vagâ€" rancy charges. The Provost Marshal‘s office at Toronto has been contacted, but no word had been received up unâ€" til noon today, regarding the fate of the two. The boys, Oliver Stewart of Dundes, Scotland, and Frank Clarke, of Notâ€" tingham, England, both 19â€"yearsâ€"old, joined the Royal Air Force somewhere in England a year ago as wireless Opâ€" erators. According to them, this isn‘t the first time they have left their squadron for more than the allowed time.

They had little ito say about their exploits in the alir ‘except, that on practically every O6câ€" |casion the â€" RAF. fighters were outâ€" ‘numbered by German planes but they always had the upper hand in the dogâ€" ‘fighting which ensued. They showed ‘t.he reporter a picture of three British ‘Hurricane fignters taking on a dozen \‘German bombers and fighters in an laerial combat. ‘"That‘s just the way ‘At is," they explained. According, to the story told by the two boys, they deserted from the Royal Air Force stationed somewhere in Engâ€" land about a month ago. With a few chocolate bars in their pockets they stole aboard a freighter tied up at Western England port. They were in the hold of the ship one week before it ieft England and it took the vessel another two weeks to reach a Canadian port, where the boys disembarked without being seen. All that time they existed on the few chocolate bars they brought with them, and were plenty glad to receive a good meal when they landed here in Canada. l When asked why they deserted and ‘came to Canada, both admitted that |\"they had the wind up." | Oliver Stuart is a native of Dundee, Scotland, and worked in a newspaper office before joining up. FPrank Clarke ‘was born in Nottingham, England, THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, T!IMMINS, ONTARIO In answer to a question in the House of Commons, Hon. Mr. Ralston this week said that the Government did not have the power to give the soldiers free transportation on the rallways. This is quite true, but it is equally true that the people did not expect the Government to force an issue of that kind. In the advocating of free transâ€" portation for soldiers on leave, the public in general was not contérned so much with the idea of governmentâ€" owned railways be ordered or requested to provide free transportation. As a matter of fact, however, it would apâ€" pear that it would not be necessary for the Government to have special legislation in the matter. It is more than probable that if the right manâ€" ner of "approach" were used to the railways, the latter would !!kely agree very willingly to adopt the suggestion. Failing this, the Government could psy the expenses of travel for all soldiers, especially on last leaves. It is no creâ€" dit to anyone that soldiersâ€"with sufâ€" ficent money to do so should reâ€" quired to foot large bills forâ€"railway fare â€" or to trust to the undignified vlan of hitchâ€"hiking; or to forego visits to their homes because of lack of the ready money. Soldiers Should be (Given Transportation for Leaves From reports from neutral sources, from admissions in the German press, and from reports made by people esâ€" caping from Holland, it appears to be evident that the Nazis are having conâ€" siderable trouble in Holland. The people appear in silent but sullen way to ‘be determined to wage an underâ€" ground war against the invading Gerâ€" mans. Night raids are said to be made regularly against German ‘sentinels and guards and this continues despite the harshest measures used . by the Nazis At the present moment ‘it would seem that the only: way the Germans can hope for any peace or quiet in Holland is ito kill man, woman and child in the country. Literally thousands of them have been murdered by the invaders, but despite the most drastic reprisals, the Dutch continue to harass the Germans in Holland. | Toâ€"day‘s Stocks | Dutch Reported as Causing Much Trouble to Germany Perth Expositor: Some people‘s conâ€" ception of Heaven is that it will be just a bigger Perth.

Without miniâ€" mizing the dangers of fascism or nazâ€" ism, it must be said that on this conâ€" tinent communism seems to have led the way in disorganizing stability and causing disunity.
