town as it was felt that Timmins had to carry the overhsad for the Moneta service whether any water were used or not. Eventually a conference beâ€" tween committees of the Tisdale and Timmins councils agreed upon a flat rate of $200 per month to be paid by. Tisdale township for the water used. ; ~At the meeting of the town council twenty years ago Councillor L. S. Newâ€" ton placed the suggestion before. the town council of finding a residence for the chief of police and turning the upâ€" stairs ‘of the municipal building inio. offices, so as to relieve the crowding. of the building. for municipa] uses. Consideration was given at the meetâ€" ing to the growing dangers of automoâ€" bile traffic and plans were made to deal with the same. The question of a band stand was again before counâ€" cil but nothing was done in the matâ€"» ter. Another important question beâ€". fore the council was the matter of the erection of stores in the residential areas of the town. There was no byâ€" lam governing the matter, but there was a Clause in the deeds from the Timminsâ€"Townsite Co. The town askâ€" ed the Townsite Co. to enforce this: ‘clause, until such time as the town could pass a byâ€"law in the matteéer. ‘ Trweniy years ago it is interesting to recall, the contract for cutting the rightâ€"ofâ€"way between Porcupine and Connaught on the proposed highway from Timmins to Porquis Junction was divided into sections, and the tenders of Mr..Dipaclo were the lowest for the sections between Golden City and Connaught. The highway from Timâ€" mins to Porquis Junction, said The Advance twenty years ago, was to folâ€" low the route laid out by C. V. Galâ€" lagher except as regards the Night Hawk area where there was some doubt as to the exact line that would be folâ€" lowed. A party of the members of the Temiskaming Mine Managers‘ Assoâ€" clation, of Cobalt and district, spent a weekâ€"end on a visit to the Porcupine camp twenty years ago. Most of the leading mines of the Cobalt camp were represented in the party and everybody had a good time. On the Sunday the party went up the river on the Steamer Minga, enjoying a very pleasant sail and outing. § The front page of The Advance btwenty years ago was well represented in the line of sports. The mines league basciball league schedule was published, as was also the district baseball league schedule. There was an article on a golfâ€"match between the town and the Hollinger, the latter being nosed out by the town by 5 to 4. ~The feature of the match was the victory of John W. Fogg over Dick Lillie, who had preâ€" some and he appealed to the town councfl to put in a meter instead and charge by the amount consumed. This was not favourably considered by the the first streets watéred before the watering cart had gone around the town. It would have taken about four watering carts going all the time to keep‘the dust down. There was always a prejudice against the use of oll as on one or more occasions, oll slobbered on the streeis apoiled ladies‘ shoes and tracked into stores and houses with disastrous results, Twenty years ago Cmmcfllor Kimâ€" berley of the township of Tisdale, put up a notable battle to secure water for Moneta ‘for fire protection purposes, without the township or the residents paying an exorbitant rate. At first the town council wanted $1.50 per month for each house on the main street in Moneta and $1.00 for each house on the batk streets. Mr. Kimâ€" berley thought this would be durdenâ€" and put on more water. Yes, you‘re right first guess! There was no abateâ€" ment of the dust nuisance. The dust was dry again and blowing strong on > _ ‘Red Cross women in Ontario turned 'in during April and May more than ~852,000 garments for British bomb vicâ€" tims, military hosapitals, armed forces ‘and women in England‘s vyvoluntary gervices.~ These figures were presented last week to an Ontario executive meeting of the Red Cross at which the president, Mrs. Wallace Campbell, preâ€" ‘sided. The articles made by women volunteer workers included: 131511 ‘garments for British civilians; 208,017 articles for armed forces and hospitals; 12525 comforts for women‘s auxiliary forces. This report was submitted by Mrs. John C. Fraser, chairman, who noted that the summer had brought a distinct slackening of war work and urged all women‘s groups to keep up their quotas in the holiday season.

Piumptre tendered her resignation as honorary director of the Opt.ario Division in order to devote her full time to the National _Office of the Society. Theâ€" executive committee passed a resolution expressing appreâ€" clation of her generous services and her contribution to the Division. Mrs. Plumptre in 1919 was first president of for the erection of a number of houses in the town of Timmins to relieve the house shortage. ‘The plan was not carâ€" ried out on account of various condiâ€" tions, one of,them being the fact that the 150 houses built by the Hollinger did much to relieve any house shortâ€" age in town. j * * I At the end of May there were 9466 branches with 203,349 members of the Junior Red Cross in Ontario, Dr. J. T. Phair, chairman, reported. In the present school year, membership has more than trebled, he said, and pointâ€" ed out that enrolment in High Schools had increased to 324 branches with 11,041 members. This spring the Onâ€" tario Junior Red Cross contributed $6,200 to the National Junior Red Cross Fund to buy two mobile Field Kitchens for overseas, Dr. Phair stated. Since there was an increasing need for more The report of the Permanent Workâ€" room, presented by ‘ Miss Frances Campbell, showed that 39463 garments had been made since the first of the year. In case of emergency, such as fires in Northern Ontario, Miss Campâ€" bell pointed out that the permanent workroom had on hand complete linen supplies to equip a 20â€"bed hospital and could also.supply 50 blankets, 50 quilts and clothing for 50 families. The Purchasing Committee ‘of the Ontario Division has, in April and May, bought 35,200 pounds af wool valued at $41,202 for the use of Onâ€" tario branches, Wills® Maclachlan, chairman, . stated. Other: purchases included 169506 yards of woollen and cotton materials valued at â€"$43,008; an ambulance and purchases for military hospitals in the province amounting to $2,316, he said. Remarkable Amount of Work Being Done: by the Red Cross Miss Jean Kirkness, a member of the Red Cross Outpost nursing staff, has received the Ontario Diviston scholarship and will enroll in the pubâ€" li> health nursing course next autumn at the University of Toronto. It was also reported by Miss Florencé Emory, chairman, nursing arvisory committee, that a refresher course in the teaching of home nursing will be given next Ocâ€" tober 6th to 9th, at the School of Nursing, University of Toronto.

(From Northern Miner) In an age when there is a widespread campaign against unnecessary noises and when even some of them are made illegal the railway trains continue at all hours of the day and night to brogdâ€" cast billions of decibels at sound with their whistles and bells. At nigbt gg~ pecially this is a nuisance. There is one section of Toronto where a number of lines converge, coming in from the east. The railways have to cross a series of ‘ravines which make wonderâ€" ful sounding boxes for the whistlers who seem to delight in making the most infernal racket possible. Surely in the middle of the night there is no necessity to screech wildly at every level crossing. If any pedestrian or vehicle is about to use the crossing the headlighb of the® engine should: supply.

"I am going to read your letter and: see if it will give me a bit o pluck. My Lord, What a rowâ€"machineâ€"guns and bombs and planes, ours and Hitler‘s. It is our night all right, toâ€"night. When the Canadian troops were in England and France they used to be amused at the sight of light engines hauling small cars with great speed: and practically in silence. The engines were confined to a tiny whistle for sigâ€" nalling purposes: it just said: "peep,, peep‘‘ and that seemed to serve the purpose adequately. ‘The contrast to Canadian trains of t?-day is striking. Nothing short of a tremendous roar will satisfy our engineers and firemen. while the objective may be only a few feet away from the engine the whistle can be heard for miles and all «©9.45â€"I am now ‘lying under the table.

Contrasting Whistles Here and in Old Country Yet many victims are saved from the ruins, and while some must give their lives, to others falls the task of finding: another home and carrying on. For those of them(and there are many) who need help, the Queen‘s Canadian Fund sends Canadian dollars to the scene of the disaster, to be administerâ€" ed wherever the need is greatest fnd the call most urgent. The need of Briâ€" tain‘s bombâ€"victims will continue and the Queen‘s Canadian Fund will conâ€" tinue in operation, as long as German. bombers persist in their attacks and create the need for assistance to the victims. Here is the conclusion of the letter from the wreckage of the Merseyside home: "‘The time is now 8.45 p.m. The warning has just gone and the guns are going. It sounds as though the whole German Air Force is over our house. Oh, I hope they don‘t drop any bombs. But they are diving, like they do when they drop bombs.: the people within the radius get their ears slightly bulged. It may be possible that some injusâ€" tice is being done in these comments, to the railway whistle pullers and bell ringers. Yet the mass of evidence is against them. Such remotely separated towns as Belleville, Edmonton and Vancouver have the same complaints. In the case of Belleville, for example, Victims _ from . Merseyaide, Sritain‘s -Wmn«mmmmn; Tepeatedly bombed by German airmen, and where the Fraiders have taken a: pitiful toll of life and property in many savage attacks. ; 'rhe story centers round the letter . of an 18â€"yearâ€"old girl,; written in the: terrifying suspense of a fierce bombâ€" ing attack, as she sat inâ€"a room of her home and tried to forget her fear by writing to a young man friend, whue the bombs were falling all around. The letter survived, the last docu- | ment of a young girl now among Hitler‘s victims, for as she wrote her last words the house reâ€" ceived a direct hit and all its five occuâ€" pants were killed. ! It is a pathetic story, yet only one of many human tragedies from Briâ€" tain‘s industrial centres and crowded dockland‘ homes. In this case an enâ€" tire family perished in the wreckage of their home, leaving only this pathâ€" etic record of their fatal hour. groove and residents state that in the night hours the only people who are not annoyed are those who live in that city‘s famed deafâ€"andâ€"dumb institute. Even steamers which certainly have to do some signalling with whistles are much more conservative in their ideas of nolse making than the railways.
