. Nazi Make SloWProgress in Blitz on Russia *w ._.... “M“...â€" â€"â€"_â€"_~.W Revised figures by Mr. E. W. Brooks. organizer for the District of Cochrane for the Victory Loan campaign. show that Ramore and Ross Mine was the centre heading the list in this district with a percentage of 520 of its objecâ€" tive. In the list published last week Hearst 292.5 of its objective was given as the leading centre. Final check-up of the figures. however, showed that the real leader was Ramore and Ross Mine. A cheque for $11,000 from Ra- more and Ross was inadvertently in- cluded in the Timmins amounts. When this was adjusted it showed that Rn- rnoreand Ross Mine stood easily first with" 328.900 subscribed and its quota at $54!». making a total of 5110 per cent of its objective. This is a remark- able showing and one of which Ramon: and Ross line may well be proud. The following is a summary of the revised figures for the district: Famous Polish Pianist and Statesman Passes On Ramore and Ross Mine F icve Hundred and Twenty Per Cent of Loan Objective At the meeting of the Timmins Hor- ticultural Society on Friday there was a large attendance of members and special interest shown. The president, Mr. 'Fred Hocking, had a quantity of literature sent him by «Mr. Clark after the latter’s recent visit here. Mr. Hocking read some of this to the meet- ing and it proved both interesting and educational. The Horticultural Society holds its regular meeting on the fourth Friday of the month, usually at the town hall, and the public is welcome to attend. Anyone with a problem of any kind in horticulture will be welcomed and everything possible done to help them in any difficulties that may arise. The Timmlns Horticultural Society officers and members have the advantage of long experience and behind them is all the talent and experience of the pro- vincial department. Word received here at noon to-day Is to the effect that Igrace Jan Pader- envski, famous Polish pianist, composer, and statesman. died in a New York. hospital. He won international fame as one of the world's greatest pianists, and after the last war he gave notable service to his native land in th won- derful work for the uniting and devel- opment. of Poland. He was prime min- ister of Poland from 1919 to 1920. and did much to re-establish Poland as a nation. ,He was 81 years of age at the time of death.

The annual Horticul- tural Society show is held too late in the season to give a full idea of the standing of the town in flowers and gardens. The Rose Show will un- doubtedly prove that the two shows will present a much more accurate idea of the excellence and the quan- tity of the flowers grown here. Of course, the fact that the Rose Show is being held this year, will not les- sen the value of the regular show lat- er, 'but should have the effect of in- creasing the general interest in the regular event. Proceeds from the Rose Show are to go to the local Bomb Vic- tims' Fund. Rose Show to be Held at Timmins on July 10th by Horticultural Society Timinins is to have its first Rose Show in the St. John Ambulance Bri- gade Hall. 12 Birch street south. on Thursday, July 10th. In addition to roses, there will 'be peonies, iris, del- phinlums. lupins. The Rose Show is under the auspices of the Timmins Horticultural Society and arrangements for the holding of the event were com- menced at the regular meeting of the Society on Friday night. Another meeting is being held this (Monday) evening to further advance the plans for the Rose Show. The Rose show will be a revelation to many people. There Vol. XXVI.

Fish Derby Event for July lst On Friday evening, Lucien Fillion. of Commercial avenue, and Jos. Houle, of Wilson avenue, were taken in charge for the alleged theft of gasoline from the Cartier Taxi Co. They were later released on $50 bail. It is alleged that Fillion. who is a driver for the Cartier Taxi, was at the Cartier Taxi pump to fill his tank. and that Houle, a former employee of the taxi company. but now working at the mine, took the oppor- tunity to fill the tank of his own car at the same time. Suspicion was aroused when the two cars were noted at the pump and the police communi- cated with the Taxi Company as to the rights of the accused men to take gas- oline from the pump. Following the response. of the Cartier Taxi the two men were taken in charge. In addition to several charged with the common garden variety of drunk- enness, there are some cases of illegal possession of liquor. a, number under the town dOg by-law and several traf- fic cases to come before the police court on Wednesday.

In the afternoon‘there will be a field day of track and field events, with special competitions between schools of this part of the North. A demonstration of first aid by the St. John Ambulance Brigade in com- petition for the McDowell trophy will be another special feature. Lieut. Worthington. the new recruit- ing officer for this district, took over his duties last week, and was somewhat disappointed that recruiting was not active at the last week-end. I Lieut. Worthington points out that Canada is calling for recruits and that, more men are absolutely necessary if Canada is to do its part in the battle for freedom. The cause, he suggests, is simply the decision of the. young men-of the country whether they de- sire to be free, or ready to take a chance on becoming regimented slaves such as are found in so many coun- tries over-rtfl'i by the enemy in. recent times. makes ing man war in most cases.

Little Boy Hurt in Another. Four Accidents During Week-end More “Dogs at Large” and More Citizens Charged When Canada started building cor- vettes for its navy The Advance sug- gested that one of these war vessels be named in honour of Timmins and the family that founded the town. The late N. A. Timmins and his brothers and their families did much indeed to open the North and develop it. The town itself in every way has taken an active and helpful part in Canadian and Empire affairs and has been a gener- ous contributor to all worthy causes. It was argued that the name would mean more than most names. Mr. J. A. Bradette, .M.P., urged the naming of a corvette in honour of this town, and last week it was shown that he had succeeded in his advocacy. as he so often does. Despatches from a “West Canadian Port” told of the launching of another corvette for the Royal Canadian Navy. This new war vessel was named “HJM.C.S. Timmins” in honour of the famous Canadian gold mining centre and the family found- ing it. The vessel was duly christened in time-honoured fashion by the spon- sor, Mrs. W. B. L. Helms, wife of Com. mander W. B. L. Holms, RON. The despatches say, “The vessel took the water to the accompaniment of steam- ship and industrial whistles and the cheers of the workmen who built her." Kiwanis Carnival Again Pleasing and Successful There were four car accidents over the week-end, two of them very minor affairs with practically no damage done. The damage in the third accl- dent, however, is estimated at $500 when a truck and a car crashed at the intersection of Fourth and Balsam In the other accident. Peter Bisson, aged 5 years, of 14 Kent avenue, is said to have run into the side of a car driven by S. Kennedy, 13 Way avenue.

(Moscow says that when the Germans attempted a naval landing at Viipuri they were repulsed with heavy losses. Viipuri was taken from Finland 'by Russia under the peace treaty in the recent war. Russia also claims that fifty Nazi planes were shot down yes- terday :by Soviet air force and air de- fence. The loss of 21 planes is admitted in the Russian communique. From the Moscow announcements it is evident that there is grim fighting on the four main fronts. the claim being held. how- ever, that on each front the Russians have been successful in stopping the German advance. Moscow claims that the big German offensive on the Fin- nish front has been repulsed. One trouble with the despaiches from Berlin and Moscow is not only that they directly contradict each other in most cases. but neither of them give locations or particulars of any of the ‘battles said to be won or in progress. In the scenes of war either one or the other of the battling nations controls the territory affected and with the censorship imposed by both Russia and Germany it is impossible to send out of the country anything but what the country affected is willing to let out as suitable for the purposes desired at the moment. London has been studying the situation and trying to arrive at, reasonable conclusions. The London opinion is that Russia is fighting un- usually well and that the Germans have had very heavy casualties. It is pointed out that while German ar- moured divisions'have broken through at several points. the Russians claim that the infantry has been hurled back and the tanks are virtually trapped. London doubts if the infantry can give the needed support to the ar- moured divisions under the circum4 stances. The general belief in London is that the German blitzkrieg is falg tering, and that though the Germans are making desperate efforts to “catch up" they have serious difficulties to face. One authority in London- says that the German programme called for the Nazis to be 200 miles inside Rus- sia proper, but that so far they are only a, few miles inward on Russian soil. The stubborn resistance offeled by the Russians has upset German plans to strike through to Kiev, capig tal of the Ukraine. Hitler‘s headquarters. according to Berlin announcement to-day. assert. that the Germans have occupied the Polish fort of Levow on the Ukrainian front, which is 100 miles inside the old Russian-Polish frontier.
