The weight of the metal was about five and a half ounces and was valued at two dollars and five cents. Constable Bert Braney of the "Gold Squad‘"" of the Provincial Police testiâ€" fied that on March 10th, accompanied by Sergeant Elliot of the Provincial Police, Constable H. L. Thompson 6f the «"Gold Squad", and Constables Beaton and Emerson of the Timmins Police, he conducted a raid at 124 Commercial avenue armed with a search warrant for highâ€"grade. Constable Braney further testified that, with Constable Emerson, he searched a cupboard in the kitchen of the house and found a can covered with a piece of brown paper and conâ€" taining a quantity of slag. The slag showed free gold.. The accused was not home during the search but just as they finished he entered the house. He was asked about the slag and is alleged to have told the police that his elevenâ€"yearâ€"old son had found it and brought it into the house. While the search was going on in the kitchen, Constables Thompson and Beaton were searching the basement accompanied by Sergeant Elliot. They found a graphite crucible in the baseâ€" ment that had not yet been used. The accused,. it is claimed, said he knew nothing about that. Three bags of coke were also said to have been found in the cellar. A few days later Constable Braney found that the same kind of crucible as they had found was on sale at one of the local hardware stores. The clerk at that store was brought in to the police station and was shown a number of photographs. Among them he picked Moncion‘s as the man to whom he had sold the crucible. Constable Emerson then gave eviâ€" dence that was very much similar to that of Constable Braney. Constable ‘Thompson then told of searching the cellar and that the accused had noâ€" thing to say about the crucible that was found there.

On a comparative ‘basis the Dominion‘s production is still 60 per cent. above that of the United States. Across the line they are turning out about 12,000 planes a year. On the basis of population they would have to produce about 20,000 yearly to equal Canada‘s present production. Executives of three big Montreal airâ€" plane plants, visited by a party from the parliamentary press gallery. think that this is a pretty good record. So does Ralph P.

World War Number One produced the "bobbed hair," and quite a step it was for milady to have her long lusâ€" trous locks shingled. World War Number Two is having a similar, but not quite so drastic an effect. According to léading hair stylists Ears and the neckline must be shown. Pompadours are most popular, with the hair taken back at the sides, and there is a tendency for more waves and swirls. Many of the hair stylists felt that semiâ€"shingling would soon be back. Madame Marguerite of Montreal stated that hair three inches long all over the head lends itself perfectly for any style. It is short enough for neat daytime wear and can be attracâ€" tively done for the evening. Madame Marguerite has just returned from New York, where she says, women are finâ€" ally consenting to wear their hair shorter. One of the new exaggerated styles in the American city is the "Busâ€" by Hairdress." It is swept up from the neck and dressed with a soft arrangeâ€" ment of waves and reversed pompadâ€" our, which when completed looks like the Guard‘s Busby. The hairdressers stressed the need for having good permanents, Even if one cannot afford to have elaborâ€" ate hair styling she should have the best permanent possible, they said. Healthy hair is the foundation of hair beauty, and if the hair is brittle and ary, no matter how lovely the style might be, it will not look beautiful. If the hair is dry it should be proâ€" perly conditioned before being perâ€" manented.

Warns Against Enclosing Matches in Mail for Soldiers ‘A recent incident at the Base Post Office, Canada, has caused Honoutrâ€" able William P.

The other day a member of the Canadian Postal Corps engaged in sorting the parcel mails found smoke pouring from a mail sack addressed to a Canadian Unit overseas. He reached into the bag and drew out a parcel which immediately burst into fiame and had to be promtly quenched with a fire extinguisher. The parcel was found to contain a number of books of "safety‘ matches in addition to candy socks ,etc. These matches, in some manner, had ingited and a few seconds later might have caused exâ€" tensive damage, not only to the surâ€" rounding mail but to the premises.

Had these matches ignited in the mail sack when it was stowed aboard ship, they might have occasioned a fire which would have destroyed the vessel ;and so have done a iialuab'le stroke of work for the enemy. This was not the first occasion when matches and cigarette jlighter fluid were found included in parcel mails addressed to our fighting forces and the Postmaster General requests coâ€" operation on the part of all the public in keeping such articles out of the mails.

At one time last year, in a T.P.A.A.A. boxing card he appeared in a match with former Constable Jack Atkinson. He is also interested in woodworking. New Device Now for Exercising the Feet Constable Thomas has been hired a probation period. (By Charlotte Hughses) ‘These first Spring days make a lot of people conscious of the stuffiness of. the lives they have been leading all Winter, so they decide that this is the time to stir up the circulation and get "Buy British!" "Buy Canadian!" These phrases were a patriotic motto for Canadian women this year. No doubt, they felt that it was more importâ€" ant to help along Canada and the Empire than to consider style or smartness. But it has turned out that Canadian women can do both â€" buy British and Canadian, and have style, distinetion, smartness, and comfort and beauty as well. The fashion experts argue that this is a smart year in fashions with style, quality, stressed. Canadian designers have risen to the occeasion. Indeed, there is reason to believe that they have been "on the job" for years, and now when they appeared to be "thrown on their own" their artâ€" istry and quality are apparent to all. The patriatic noteâ€"and a true patriotic note it is â€"is predominant in the 1941 spring fashions. Not only is it evident in the popular colours â€" red, white and blue â€" and in the ornamental toudhes to cosâ€" tumes and accessories, in which patriotic insignia are given special place. But it is also evident in the fact that Paris, Hollywood, New York are in the shade this year.. Toâ€"day, it is Canada! . Britain!.. It is also evident in the fact that the artists, the designers, the makers of costumes and accessories have given to the task "all the courage and purpose of which they are capable," and they have won victory. Elsewhere in this issue will be found reference to the acclaim given Canadian fashions in New York and elsewhere. British sportswear has also made a very decided hit in Canada and from Canada will travel to the South in popularity. The fall of Paris, and the bombing of London, still leaves the Canadian woman with her former chance to be one of the smartest and best dressed on the globe.

The exercise to be had in walking has now been augmented by a foot exerciser, a brand new kind of sandal. It can be worn around‘the house, and all the time you walk in it it is supâ€" posed to do your feet no eng of good. It is designed to give your toes a workâ€" out, on the theory that this is fine for your feet and your disposition. The sandal has two soles, one that is flexâ€" ible and is attached by straps at the heel, the other that is stiff wood and stays flat on the filoor. The foot is thus forced to grip with the toes. The sandal can be worn with slacks in the garden, or on the beach too. It is designed to relieve tired feet and to help correct posture. Buy British!
