South Porcupine and Timmins Win Honors for Work in Fire Prevenrtion In Ontario Centres of Less Than 5,000 Population, South Porcupine Leads the Province and Stands Eleventh in Dominion for Special Effort Toward Fire Prevention. In recent years the various assoclaâ€" tions concerned in fireâ€"fighting and fireâ€"prevention, together with governâ€" mental bodies in Canada and the United States has sponsored what is known as International Fire Prevention Week with the purpose of lessening the annual toll of life and property from the demon, fire. In Canada a royal proclamation each year cally on the general public to specially observe this week, by consideration of the serâ€" ious loss through fire, and the fact that with proper thought and care practhcally all these fires could be avoided. Each year The Advance isâ€" sues a special fire prevention week secâ€" tion with the fire brigades, fire insurâ€" ance, building and other interests, and the municipalities of the district, the purpose of helping achieve the purâ€" poses and aims of «Fire Prevention Week. In conncction with Fire Preâ€" vention Week each year there is a conâ€" test known as International Pire Preâ€" vention Week Contest, with awards to the municipalities entering the contest for the best work accomplished during In the contest Quebec stood first among the provinces of Canada and states of the United States, in the number of fire departments competing. The province of Ontario was second. For its work in the Fire Prevention wWeek, the City of Brantford, Ont., was ranked first among all Canadian cities competing. Other Ontario centres (with their Dominion standing in brackets) â€" include:â€"South Porcupine (11) ... Sudbury (15); Chapleau (21); e Doml Canada proâ€" comâ€" Strong units of the R. A. F. pounded the German city of Bremen with high explosives and incendiary bombs last night in retaliation for Sunday night‘s attempt by the German air force to burn the heart of London. Last night‘s British assault was on a big scale and powerful bombers ranged over the big German city for more than three and a half hours. When the attack ended great fires could be seen burning and shipbuilding, dockyards and railway stations were given a merciless hamâ€"« mering. In addition to the reprisal at Bremen, other RAF. detachments gave their attention to invasion ports and subâ€" marine bases at Flushing, Ostend and Brest. All British planes returned safely to their bases. Eire Is Altacked The New Year brought Eire more closely into the spotlight of war when it was reported that German planes cruised for five hours within sixty miles of Dublin. (Bombs were dropped, kill= ing three person and injurying two. An incendiary bomb found near Curâ€" ragh was definitely identified as Gerâ€" man. The Irish casualties occured in County, 55 miles from Dublin. sScattered air raids occurred throughâ€" out England. Several persons were killed and injured in the London area while Liverpool and other Merseyside towns received scattered bombings. | May Aitack Tobruk _ The belief was held in some quarters ito-day that Britain may not wait for the fall of Bardia before tackling the big Italian naval base at Tobruk in Libya.. Tobruk is eighty miles form the border and already it is reâ€" ported that mechanized patrols of the British command are operating as far ‘as seventyâ€"five miles inland. British mcobile units are said to have a fiim, grip on long stretch of road from Bardia to Tobruk, which may be prelude to a thrust designed to harrass strengthening of defences at the strong Ttalian naval centre. While there were not as many lighted outside Christmas trees in town this year as in some past seasions, the show.~â€" ing of these outdoor illummated trees on Hemlock street was particularly striking and attractive.

While Timmins does not rank so high in its particular class, this is not because its effort is not remarkable one in the matter of creatâ€" ing a general public interest in firs prevention, but rather to the fact that it is placed in a class with a group of cities of three and four times its popuâ€" lation. If there were another class, say for towns of 25,000 to 50,000, Timâ€" mins would be in much hizsher place, As it is, the good work done by Timâ€" mins is evidenced by the fact that it is given honourable mention not only in its own class in the province, but also in the wider field of the Dominion, ‘he Pioneer Paper of the Porcupine.
