These notices instruct the recipients to visit a doctor and submit to a mediâ€" cal examination within a clear thrée days of notification and, if found to be fit, a second notice will be sent to reâ€" port to an indicated military training centre undér the Department of Naâ€" jional Defence for a period of thirty days.

Mr. Burden, a native of Fredericton, N.B., is the Legion‘s supervisor in Iceâ€" land and his duties among the Canaâ€" dian forces there include the providing of entertainment, recreation, and perâ€" sonal strrvices such as supplying the men with free note paper, envelopes, bo@eks, ° magazines, daily newspapers, clgarettes and other comforts that will help brighten their lives and keep their morale high. He reports that the troops are in excellent physical conâ€" dition and are eager for an opportunity of reminding‘ the Germans that the spirit of the old Canadian corps is as alive today as it ever was. Living in such an isolated country as Iceland may not appeal to many peoâ€" ple, but to those who "have to pay the bills" it would have its merits. Accordâ€" ing to Clarence B. Burden, who recentâ€" ly arrived in the island to establish facilities of the Canadian Legion War Services for the Canadian troops staâ€" tioned there, electrical power, for one thing, is extremely cheap. In fact, it‘s so inexpensive that rather than go to the expense of buying switches the inâ€" habitants leave their lights on all the time. Then there isn‘t the problem of keeping a steady supply of hot water on,. hand, for the, natural hot springs that are everywhere to" be: found are simply piped to the surrounding houses and business establishments. At the moment, Mr. Burden says in his report to Lieut.â€"Col. D. E. Macintyre, DSO., M.C., general manager manager of the CLWS., construction is underway to carry the hot water to all parts of Reyâ€" kjavik, the capital, for central heating Oof all buildings. The current weekly letter of the Legion War Services is .specially interâ€" esting as, it deals with Iceland where a large number of Canadian troops are now stationed. Ssporting equipment, games, reading matter and a large quantity of writing materials have already been qgistributed from the Legion to the men, Mr. Burâ€" den says, and numerous singâ€"songs have been organized. He adds that the Legion‘s help was greatly in demand during recent celebrations of the first mobilizaticn anniversary of the unit to which he is attached. Iceland itseif, Mr. Burden writes, is a "country of contradictions." He says that it is positively beautiful on ocâ€" casions;, and positively ugly on others. What might be wonderful weather at one moment, can change in 10 minutes gaie "Gorgeous flowers grow in profusion in one spot of fertile ground," he conâ€" tinues, "and just a few yards away are rough, uneven rocks of lava formation. The weather is quite cool, and at nights even cold, yet not a hundred yards from my tent steam rises continuously from one of the many natural hot springs." Mr. Burden says that the people of Iceland are very friendly and highly educated, Although a.few still cling to their national dress, most of them have Official of Legion Describes Life at Present in Iceland The sail up the fiord on arrival at Reykjavik was a thrilling experience, he adds.

Two pieces of goldâ€" bearing quartz were found under the seat frame. Considerable quantity of ore was) found in what Constable Hanâ€" cock described as a ‘"contraption" built underâ€"the bin of the dump truck and between the chassis frames. On September 20 the trucks in which Richer and Brisson, who is a driver for Richer, were riding, was stopped by Constable R. L. Hancock of the Prestcn E@st Dome police. force. Carryâ€" ing cut a general search of the truck and persons of the two men, Constable Hancock found gold ore, he said in court. The "contraption" was described by the officer as a piece of wood about two feet wide and the full width of the truck. Nothing was found on the persons of the accused men. Assayer for the Dome Mines Fred Mason, to whom the ore was taken, said that the small pieces found between the seat frame and the gasoline tank Rene Richer and Albert Brisson, who up until September 20 had been conâ€" tract hauling for the Preston East Dome Mines, were discharged by the magisâ€" trate after a preliminary hearing into charges of being in possession of high grade gold ore, in police court on Tuesâ€" day afternoon.

The historic agreement set the seal on the shortâ€" ofâ€"war alliance of the U.S. with Britain. Crossâ€"examined, Constable Thompâ€" ‘"son admitted that there were small pieces of ore and dust on the frame that ‘he did not take with him to be asisayed. He admitted further that he found no gold ore in the homes of Richer or Drissor or in Richer‘s automobile. There was no chance that the rock fell to the platform erected under the bin of the truck, said Provincial Police Gold Squad member F. L. Thompson. He said furthermore, that the frameâ€" work was not part of the standard equipment of that particular truck model. It was a "homeâ€"made" affair he said. The pieces found in the under part of the truck were quite different from the load of ore carried in the truck bin. Provincial + Constable James Worrall told the court. For one thing, he said, the pieces beneath the box were dry and looked as though they had been washed. They showed visible gold. The ore in the box was wet and dirty. were worth $3.20. The ore taken from ounces, Troy and was worth $14. Chief _ accountant at the Presiton East Dome, D. A. Edgar, said that the gold content of the ore carried in the back of the truck was about $6.55 a ton, not more than a few cents a pound. A 50â€"50 partner with Richer on the hauling contract with the mine, Clarâ€" ence Shaver said that he did most of the mechanical work on the trucks. He and Richer, he testified owned two trucks, a red one and a green one. The green oneâ€"the one in which the ore was foundâ€"had not left the mine proâ€" perty since Septemhber 4. When Richer did not take his drivers home in his personal car they were driven home in the red truck. In order to show that he and Richer did not need to steal high grade gold ore in order to make a living Shaver said that they expected to make $700 for themselves this month. Brisson was of very little assistance on the witness sitand. For one thing he spoke no English. Asked what he did for a living, he volunteered the inâ€" formation: ‘I work." Summing up the case Magistrate Atkinson dismissed the charge against Brisson at once. Insofar as Richer was concerned he doubted that the Crown could prove that there was knowledge that the gold ore was where it was found. ‘"There have been at least three or four men working around these trucks and any one of them might have placed that ore there" the magistrate said. To the Crown: "I don‘t think you would get a conviction in high court." Accordingly he dismissed the charge against Richer, At the beginning of (the hearing Richer and Brisson, through their counsel, chose to be tried before a Jjudge and jury.

This time she was charged with the same offense, jointly with William Hayden. The boy cursed the dog first and then, despite repeated warnings he cursed him (Howlett) and then Myrs. Howlett. "I went over and cuffed him behind the ear a few times," Howlett said,.

Whether or not she is gullty will be decided next week when the evidence is heard, Meanwhile bail has been set at $1000 property or $500 cash. What happened said Howlett, was that he, his wife and child were goâ€" ing for a ride. As they were getting into their car Maston came riding at a good speed down the wrong side of the road.

Beaudry was served with a summons at the weekâ€"end, the charge having been laid by provincial constable Arthur Souliere on instrucâ€" tions from Acting Crown Attorney Dean. Stanley Johnson and brother C. F. Johnson testified for the complainant. Stanley said that he saw Howlett poised for the blow although he did not actually see the boy struck. The brother said he saw the accused silap the lad. "Haven‘t I paid this account?" he asked the boy who brought it to him. "I don‘t know, sir," was the reply. "Does your master know?" "No, sir." "How do you know that?" "I heard him say so." "And after that he had the impudâ€" ence to send you to sre if I knew, eh?" ‘"Well T can see that you were proâ€" voked. Such a situation would certainly be annoying but of course you can‘t take the law into your own hands" said Magistrate Atkinson to James Howlett, fining him $1 and costs of $19 on an assault conviction in police court on Tuesday. Andrew Masten Jr., a minor, said that Howlett struck him several times about the head. He was riding on his bicycle when he was thrown over the handleâ€"bars when Howlett‘s dog beâ€" came entangled in the wheels, he said. When he swore at the dog Howlett hit him.
