AND WHY? O. Representatives of the Lions Club, the Imperial ~Order of the Daughters of the Empire, the Women‘s Institite, the Lancaghire Club, the Polish White Fagle Society, the Polish Aid Commitâ€" tee, the Czechoslovakian Society, the Daughters of England and the Sons of England were present last night :â€"at a meeting held in the councu chamibers to consxder ways and means of formâ€" ing an org’amzation to raise money here for the Lord Mayor‘s Pund. Final result of the meeting was the formation of a temporary committee to take charge. Some representatives felt that they could not commit themselves or their organizations to membership in the committee until such time as they had further discussed the matter. Chairman Mr. Kitcher said in openâ€" ing the meeting that the forms had been received for application as an acâ€" credited collecting organization under the War Charities Act. They would be filled in and returned to Ottawa. Under the chairmanghip of Mr. Fred Kitcher, president of the Sons of Engâ€" land, the organization which is sponâ€" soring the drive, the meeting convened about eight o‘clock. There were about a dozen persons present. There had, said Mr. Kitcher, been some misunderstanding. He wanted it understood that the organization which would be formed here was not intendâ€" ing to collect money to be turned over to the Supreme Lodge of the Sons of England and from there to be sent to the Lord Mayor‘s Fund. This organâ€" ization, he said, was on its own and was not coâ€"operating with the central lodge of the Sons of England. Money collected would be sent directly from Timmins to the old country. Form Tentative Committee Last Night at Sons of England Meeting. Meet to Aid Bombed Londoners A letter sent to some twenty organâ€" izations asking them to send a repreâ€" sentative to last night‘s meeting was read by the chairman. Its text pointed out the fact that the people of Great Britain and especially of London were undergoing terrible sufferings though Hitler‘s bombing. ‘With the approach of winter there would be a great deal of privation and assistance would be needed. No one, said J. P. Bartleman, a ‘memâ€" ber of the S. O. E., committee handling the arrangement for forming a muniâ€" cipally â€" representative . organization, should hesitate to assist in such a cause as this. War, said Mr. Bartleman, had changâ€" ed. It once was fought between two groups of professional soldiers. Now because of the devilishness of Hitler, it was fought between professional soldâ€" iers and ciwilians. No one could help admiring the courage and tenacity of those civilians who were withstanding the worst that "that maniac Hitler and that cowardly braggart Mussolini‘ could offer. M. Bartlieman said that he thought the council as well as other organizaâ€" tiins, should be prepared to give genâ€" erously to such a cause. â€" Miss Gigg, during her visit to Timâ€" mins, will be the guest of Mss Mamie Borland, secretary of the T.

If Enough Enrolments Two Classes Will be Formed. ' Scene of the attack on the German convoy was not givenâ€"apparently it {was either the North Sea or the Engâ€" ! lish Channel. The British Admiralty announcing a Royal Navy offensive from Suez to the North Sea, said toâ€"day that an entire convoy of five German ships had been destroyed and a successful atâ€" tack made on sixth ship. On the red ske of the ledger the Admiralty told of the damaging of the 9,100 ton cruiser "Liverpool" in the Mediterrean by Italian torpedoes The "Liverpool" one of eight ships of the Southampton class, reached her base bearing wounds inflicted by the Italians as she was returning from the British Mediterranean fleet‘s operation in which three of Italy‘s destroyers were sunk by the "Ajax" last Saturday. There were an undisclosed number of casualties. Casuaities on the "Ajax" as anâ€" nounced today, were,, 13 killed, inâ€" cluding officers and men and 32 wounded all ranks. One of the offiâ€" cers killed was a Canadian of the Royal Canadian naval reserve. Damâ€" age to the vessel was negligible. The attack apparently was carried out by submarines. Three supply vesâ€" sels, one of them of about 7,000 tons, and two convoying ships were sunk. One of the latter was said to have exâ€" ploded before it sank. In anâ€" other German vessel of aboqt 7,000 tons was struck by three torpedoes., British warships also pounded parts of Dunkirk in heavy shelling and bombing, the warships working in coâ€" operation with the RAFP. The port wasâ€"said to be damaged. more than even Cherbourk which has borne the brunt of numerous attacks. The RAF. again sowed bombs along the invasion coast and in Germany proper. For weeks it has pounded: at the coast all along th> continent while the Royal Navy has: kept uncegasing watch" for an invasion attempt. . Now the Royal Navy has begun to make its own, hitting Cherbour3 recently; at Dunkirk on Tuesday night and sinking the entire German convyoy of five ships. The Mediterranean was the scene of action today. High flying planes were reported to have bombed Gibraltar but the extent of the damage, if any, could not be ascertained. The board of trustees of the Schuâ€" macher public school is planning to operate classes in English for New Canâ€" adians in Schumacher. . For several years past similar classes were conductâ€" ed in Timmins and have proved of advantage to New Canadians wishâ€" ing to fully familiarize themselves with the Engltsh language and by this plan add to the value of their citizenship as Canadians. In Schumacher the intention is to have the classes two evenings a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, from seven until nine. Of possible the classes will be conducted for twenty weeks. If sufâ€" ficient numbers enrol, two classes will be organized this seasonâ€"one class for those who have attended classes in other years and the other for those just beginning to speak and read Engâ€" lishn, Classes of this kind are invaluable to New Canadians, and also of very decided advantage to the community and to the nation. With a good workâ€" ing knowledge of the English language it is a much easier matter for the New Canadian to understand the ways and customs of the country and adopt himself or herself to life in Canada.
