{Northern News) There will be no inquest into the death of Emil Kuzmech, who died in Kirkland District Hospital on Priday afternoon from the effects of selfâ€"adâ€" ministered poison, which he took the previous Wednesday evening in the second attempt upon his life within a year. Kuzmech was found in a seriâ€" ogus condition in his room above the National Bowling Alleys that night and removed to Kirkland District Hospital. Constable William Carty and Dr. William Bryant, who attended the The man who asks himself, "How much cash am I going to need after this war is over?"‘ is going to buy as many War Savings Certificates as his income permits More than that he will then see, more concrete reasons for doing without some of the pleasure and other luxuries in which he now indulges. Kirkland Man Succumbs to Second Dose of 1 Ottawa, May 21â€"Busy as she is in life or death struggle, England is not overlooking her economic future as she goes ‘"all out" to thwart the vicious ambition of Hitler. Her citizens have been, and are, storing up a staggering total of war savings against the day when the last shot is fired and millions of Englishmen must turn around and readjust themselves to peaceful occuâ€" pations. Nor is that all. Just recentâ€" ly, the British government has imâ€" posed income taxes on very low wages and salaries, which are to he restored to the workers after the war is over. Shrewd Canadians will see in this savings programme a worthy example to be followed in their country. _ The wise citizen will not only measure the amount of his purchase of war savings certificates in terms of what that money means in helping our governâ€" ment to fight this war, but in terms of â€" insurance for himself and his family. War Savings and Victory Loan Bonds as Insurance In effect the parking meters will result in many trucks, that formerly loaded in front of stores, going around to the back to take on or put off loads. In this way, it is said, much of the present congestion noticed on the streets will be relieved. Work Well in Sudbury A representative of the Keyes Supâ€" ply Company said the meters had given satisfaction in Sudbury and apâ€" plications for more installations had been made. At first there were obâ€" jections, but these had speedily given way to pleased commendation as the congested traffic conditions of the streets was relieved. The 30â€"minute parking time will be superceded by the meters. Everyone must payâ€"regardless of who he is. Taximen, truck drivers, doctors, may, by paying a fee to be set by bylaw, probably five dollars, will be allowed to stop at any point along the streets during certain specified hours, also to be defined by bylaw. Merchants also must pay the parking fee when their trucks stand before their shops for loading and unloading operations. Bus stops will not be chargeable, it was stated. Now and then the machine will conâ€" fer a boon. Should a driver put in a nickel for an hour and go away before the time is up, a fellow motorist may take his place and remain there until the flag shows red. Then it‘s his turn to put in a nickel, or a centâ€"as he pleases. It will cost the car owner five cents an hour for his parking space. Should he wish to park for a shorter period of time a cent will allow 12 minutes. When the meters have been coin fed a green "flag" shows. That‘s the sign to the watchful policeman that the motorist is parking legally. When the time is up a red "flag" shows and then it is time to deposit another coin if the motorists wishes to remain. Otherâ€" wise he must drive off or take a chance of the policeman on the beat handing him a ticket. | There certainly is On the other hand should the counâ€" cil decide to dispense with the maâ€" chines at the end of the year the supplying company will remove them free of cost and restore the sidewalks to their original condition. The meters will be installed by the Keyes Supply Co. Seventyâ€"five per cent of monies collected by the parkâ€" ing machines will go to the Keyes Supply Co., and 25 per cent to Teck Township. Should the township, at the end of a year, decide to purchase the meters the 75 per cent allocated to the Ottawa firm will be allowed as part of the â€" purchase price. Pollowing approval of a contract to be submitted by the Keyes Supply Co., Ottawa, the work of erecting 323 meters will be started. The work will be supervised by Township Engineer W. Spellman but it is likely the inâ€" stallation will be carried out by the Keyes Supply Co. Each machine will cost $93.35, but. apart from the pennies and nickels car owners will put into the meters, the parking devices will not cost the rateâ€" payers a penny. Instead they will provide a source of income for the township. At a special meeting of Teck townâ€" ship council at Kirkland Lake this week the instailation of parking meters along Kirkland‘s main streets was ap~ proved.

PAGE 81X rainy d Dan Sorochan, manager of the buildâ€" ing in which the deceased lived, told police that Kuzmech had been acting very queer a few days before he took the poison. Last November Kuzmech took a dose of lye but he recovered from the suiâ€" cide attempt and appeared before Magistrate Atkinson, whoeplaced him on suspended sentence for one year. At the time Kuzmech promised His Worship that he would not try to end his life again, and that he had learned lesson. A threeâ€"page letter, handed to Conâ€" stable Carty by Kuzmech when the officer went to room,. has been translated but the letter was addressed to Kuzmech. 4.

At the time he attended Kuzmech, Dr. Bryant stated that he did not have more than 24 hours to live but he lasted nearly 48 hours after taking the poison. (British troops have been garrisoned in Iceland since the spring of 1940. Canadian troops also were stationed in Iceland but were withdrawn reâ€" cently.) 1. Inasmuch as the King of Denmark is unable to execute his functions as head of the Tceland government under the treaty of 1918, Iceland must be entitled to declare herself independâ€" ent. 2. Iceland does not desire to prolong the treaty. The necessary procedure for cancellation can not take place before the war is over, but parliament now wishes to take the aforementioned step. (A BBC broadcast asserted that Iceâ€" land is in danger of a Nazi attack. Large numbers of German troops are being concentrated north of Narvik, Norway, the broadcast said, adding that the Germans claim the concenâ€" tration is the result of "bad behavior‘ of natives, "especially residents of the Lofoteéen â€" Islands." The BBC. also said that a great number of German army air transports have already been massed in northern Norway.) Svein Bjoernsson, formerly Iceland‘s minister in Copenhagen, was menâ€" tioned as a possible regent. The treaty of union with Denmark was signed in 1918 to be effective for 20 years.

A number of settlers in the district are burning brush in clearing their farm land and this is being burned under the supervision of the Ontario Forestry Department rangers. While The Advance reporter was getting information on this fire at the office of the Ontario Forestry Deâ€" partment the phone started to ring and another fire was reported to be starting in Price Township. While the reporter was there at least three phone calls came in from different fire towers reporling the fire in Priceo Township. Firs Rangers at once got busy trying to locate the blaze and finally settled that it was near the line between Price Township and Adams Township. Another serious fire was reported near Connaught. ’f’his one is in beâ€" tween Connaught and Pamour. About thirty fire rangers are fightâ€" ing the fire day and night with every bit of equipment that they can use. 80 far they have been fighting a losing battle but they expect to get the upper hand before long. One of the worst forest fires that the Fire Rangers in this district have had to contend with for some time was raging about five miles north of the town near Bigwater Lake in Murphy T‘wp. yesterday. A second fire that is thought to have started from the sparks from the fire at Bigwater has started in German Township near Connaught. The heat wave that this part of the country is experiencing now is blamed for the start of the blaze and the shortage of rain makes the fire all the more dangerous. One of Worst Fires For Some Time.

Thursday THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO There is another possibility,. howâ€" ever. The attempt on Crete could be designed in part to screen larger imâ€" pending Axis operations elsewhere in the East. Certainly the attack if it is pressed is apt to draw heavy British and naval and air forces from other fronts, such as North Africa or the Nazi capture of that last Britishâ€" held offshoot of the continent, except Gibraltar, would be achievemeons enough of itself to justify a major efâ€" fort of the kind indicated. Testing Laboratory Yet in the minds of Nazi leaders Crete may be important also as a testing laboratory. London commenâ€" tators were prompt to glimpse that attack on Crete a nossible fullâ€"dress possibility. They styled the airâ€"ferried rehearsal for ultimate invasion of Briâ€" tain. : If the Nazis snould fail to drive home the blow, now that they have struck, their failure could alter preâ€" sent war trends in the East. That the air invasion is only thd first phase of the Battle of Crete seems unquestionâ€" able. Presumably it must be: folâ€" lowed up quickly by sea as well as air to give the Germans effective control of the strategic key to Transâ€"Mediterâ€" ranean sea lanes. , This was the first major air invasion in history across relatively wide sea waters. It well may prove a forerunâ€" ner of what Britain herself must face at home some dark night. A crucial test of German air power against Briâ€" tish sea power is at hand on, over and about Crete.

This difficulty has to a large extent been completely overâ€" come by the work of the National Reâ€" search Council on developing a blood serum in dried form." Use of serum was begun soon after the start of the present conflict, and its scope was extended as the need increased. At the present time, Torâ€" onto citizens are providing nearly 600 sociation at the Royal York at Toronto on Monday. The serum, he said, was found even better than whole blood in treatment for shock. Driecd blood serum has been found very effective in the treatment of burns and shock sa common among airmen, according to Dr. C. H. Best in an address to the Ontario Dental Asâ€" Successful Collection of Blood by Red Cross at night by searchlights, antiâ€"aircraft gunners or night fighter planes. And to supplement that hundreds of the Nazi air troops rained down on Crete were garbed in New Zealand uniforms. That is a grim foretaste for the defenders of Britain as to how legions of Nazis may come upon them in the night dressed as comrades. The first is Nazi use of gliders to supplement troop transport planes in ferrying heavy forces to Crete from Greek mainland bases 100 miles or more from the island. How many men each glider carried has not been indiâ€" cated nor the fighting equipment with which they reached the ground. Howâ€" ever these motorless and therefore noiseless craft confront defenders with difficult proplems. As they slip through the skies, they are all but undetestable Grim Use of Disguise As this is written, there are two other items in the news grist about the Battle of Crete that challenge the atâ€" tention. There have been hints that Italy has recalled Facist division from conâ€" quered Greece for use elsewhere, proâ€" bably in Libya. As a cevering operâ€" ation to screen such a movement the attack on Crete might be helpful in reducing British sea and sky patrols in the straits. Such shifts might afford the Axis mates opportunity to reinforce their joint army in Libya, now halted in the Libyanâ€"Egyptian border region. That would be all the more probable if Francoâ€"German "collaboration" inâ€" volves Axis use of French colonial bases in Tunisia, just across the straits from Sicily, as it has involved Nazi use of French airdromes in Syria.
