Two houses in town were damaged by lightning. These two houses were the residence of James Landers, 9 Main avenue, and the house at 12 Commercial avenue, occupied by ..

Room Needs a Centre of Interest Just the Same as a Menu â€" A Handsome Big Piece of Furniture Will Pull the Room Together. Every woman knows the sort of menu she‘ll have if she picks up oddments at random . . . with no main dish, no piece de resistance to build the meal around. A room presents the same problemâ€"it needs a focal puint, one big piece of furniture to centre the design. An Enduring Investment _ so important is this piece of furniâ€" ture that it‘s even wise somelimes to splurge here and do without some other things. With one really handâ€" some eyeâ€"catcher, placed against the main wall, the room can have distincâ€" tion, no matter how skimpy or makeâ€" shift are the other things. Then anâ€" other good excuse for ~shooting your wad, or a lot of it, on ane fine thing is that this can be an enduring investâ€" ment to pace your future purchasesâ€" a start on a collection of the really lovely posssssions you hope to have. For there is no permanent economy in a room full of shiney shoddy furniture, while beautiful things are not out of reach of most of us if we can plan ahead and acquirs them gradually. And there‘s no better place to begin than with this focal piece. Favored Styles Its selection depends on many things â€"but primarily on the room and on your own tasts. For a simple informal family room, don‘t go in for elegance and furbelow. Yet you needn‘t be rusâ€" tic if you don‘t care for that design for living. The current popularity of 18th century English and Federat American furniture is no foible ot fashion. This furniture has dignity with simplicity that makes it suitable in many homes. The next most favored style for an American family is colonial maple, which is charming if it‘s a hearty earthy effect you‘re wanting. furniture appeals to modern people, because of its clean forthright lines, its direct uncomplicated apâ€" proach.. Think hard before deciding on the style of this main piece of furniâ€" tureâ€"ke sure it reflects the spirit as well as the facts of your family picâ€" ture. A Gracious Piece This focal piece may be tall or it may be wide low. The breakfront is probably.the most favored idea righ! now among higsh furniture. And cerâ€" tainly it does preside over a room with poise. ~It is useful besides, combining sheif space with cupboard and desk compartments. It is large but doesn‘t jut way out into the room. It is a gracious piecs, designs for it An open shelf cabinet like this one fits particularly graciously into a r( wall space. added advantage of being adaptable to different spaces if you change the arrangement of the house later or should move, having been created by some of the greatest cabinet makers of all time: Put if there‘s not room for a breakâ€" front, a secretary is a good choice, or if you want a more casual mood, then an open shelf cupboard or dresser. A fine highboy is stunning, and so is a William and Mary cabinet. New lookâ€" inz are traditional modern pieces with grills instead of glass doors, and marblized, leather and mirror finishes. Among the low pieces suitable for bearinz the chief furnishing responsiâ€" bility for the room are those units or sections of cupboards and shelves that fit together to make a long low cabinet. The advantage of this type of furniâ€" ture is the fact that it can be shifted into different combinations if you move or wish to rearrange it. Another asset of this type of focal furniture is the fact that it provides a centre of inâ€" terest for the room yet leaves the wall space above free for a picture Oor a hanging. Then too it creates an effect that‘s a little more unusual.

Many here will remember Mr. Pat Dougall, who was for many years a proâ€" minent citizen of Timmins. He was manager of the National Grocers‘ branch wholesale here for several years, and then opened the Pionser Grocers stores in the camp. While here he was prominent in the Kiwanis Club, the G.WVA., the Legion, and other community and patriotic activities, Acâ€" cordingly, it will be no surprise to his friends here to know that he is doing notable work in patriotic lines in his present home of Cornwall, where he is manager of the National Grocers‘ branch. In the War Savings campaign, the Victory Loan drive and other war efforts he has bheen outstanding in his work. It is in regard to recruiting that he has made the biggest name for himâ€" self as a successful war work leader. Friends here who heard the story over the radio one night last week about a whole platoon of trainees signing up at Cornwall for overseas service will be specially interested to learn of Mr. Dougall‘s part in the matter. This is told in the following despatch from Cornwall last week, as it appeared in The Toronto Star:â€" (By Major Thomas Wayling) Cornwallâ€"There‘s a lilt and a lift in the marching of men at the basilc training centre No. 31, Cornwall. There‘s pep in their training and punch in their drill and an upsurge of esprit de corps that‘s not been known before. This new spirit and keenness has given BS.T. 31 an allâ€"Canadian record. And it‘s largely because Pat Dougall of the old 2nd Battalion remembered that back in 1914â€"18 there was nothing like martial music to stir men‘s souls and take the tired feeling out of their feet. Pat Dougall is manager of a grocery firm in Cornwall. He‘s also viceâ€"chairman of recruiting in Storâ€" mont, Glengarry, Dundas and Presâ€" cott counties. Most of all, he‘s a vetâ€" eran of the last war, and knows more than his groceries. The Colonel Agrees His first step in Cornwall was a conâ€" ference with Col. Rodoliph Larose, ofâ€" ficer commanding the centre. Col. Larose is also a veteran of the great war, and agreed with Pat that a miliâ€" tary band would put life in the camâ€" paign. He could do with a band also at the training centre to make the training something more than mere foot slogging and drill. So Mr. Dougall went to Ottawa. He saw the minister of national defence, and the adjutantâ€"general, He got the surprise of his life. Instead of red tape he got action. That was last Friday. On Sunday the Kingston miliâ€" tary band arrived in Cornwall. On Sunday night the band gave a concert in Central park. On Monday morning the stirring music of the band played for a marchâ€" past of the new trainees. On Tuesday, Dominion day, the band played at the brief military ceremony. Col. Larose made an appeal for voiâ€" unteers for service overseas. Sixtyâ€" one men out of the 186 stepped out. Only military discipline kept Lieut. H. W. Gollop from giving three rousing cheers. His whole platoon had volunâ€" teered. The Band Plays On On Wednesday the band played on There were more volunteers. Thursday the rest of the trainees couldn‘t resist the call to arms.

SULLIVAN NEWTON National Housing Act Loans (Est 1914) Timmins, Ontario Stolen Rings Found and Thief Confesses Within Four Hours Southern Avenue Home Enâ€" tered Monday Night and Valuable Rings Taken. The efficiency of the Timmins Police Force was again demonstrated on Monday when a complaint was reâ€" ceived at the station that a house on Southern Ave. had been entered and a number of rings, including one diaâ€" mond ring, had been stolen. Timmins police started to investigate and mace an arrest inside of two hours and tawo hours after that they had a confession from the suspect and also had the loot returned to the property owner., As a result of a call from the préâ€" mises of Mr. A. E. Schnelléer, of 68 Southern avenue, the police started to investigate a robbery at the same adâ€" dress. Mr. Schneller said that he had gone out for the evoaning and when y returned the thief was in the house. When the thief heard the door openâ€" ing he made a getâ€"away through the bathroom window. The screen on the window was broken and the thief leaped through the bathroom window. The screen on the window was broâ€" ken and the thief leaped through it to land in the soft sand below the window. He then made his way to safety through the back yards of the neighbours till he was out of the disâ€" trict. Some two hours later the thief reâ€" turned to the vicinity of the crime to recover his bicycle that he had left parked near the front of the building. Theo bicycle was being guarded by Mr. Schneller and as the man tried to take the bicycle he took the man in charge and phoned for the poltce. Under questioning at the police staâ€" tion, the prospect, Bernard Gagnon, living on Middleton avenue across Fuiâ€" ham Creek, denied any connection with the crime. Polices officers started to clean the suspects fingernails and found a lot of sand under the nails. This sand, police say, was picked up when the man leaped through the winâ€" dow. The footprints at the seene of the crime had. been inspected and the man‘s shoes were also inspected. It was found that there were marks in the sand indicating that there were holes in the man‘s shoes and this fact was proved by inspection of his shoes. After a session of questioning by Deâ€" tective Ernie Gagnon, the man admit« ted the theft and also brought the police to the place where he had hidâ€" den the loot. The five rings were recovered from an ash can in one of the back yards in the district. They were carefully hidâ€" den in an old chocolate box. The valu'p of the rings were estimated at about two hundred dollars and they were identified by Mr. Schneller as his. Y The investigation of the crime that eventually led to its solution in less than four hours was conducted by three members of the Timmins police force and one member of the Provin, cial Police. Detective Ernie Gagnon of the Timmins police led the investiâ€" gation and received valuable help from Constables Angus Greaves and Jack Atkinson of the Timmins police, as well as Constable Bert Braney of the Gold Squad. [ (From Sudbury Star) Two Germans met in Paris and disâ€" cussed the city‘s employment problem. "Have you a good situation?" asked one "Oh, I have an excellent job here," was the reply. "I sit on top of the Riffel Tower and watch for the Engâ€" lish to wave the white flag." "And the payâ€"is it good?" "No,"* admitted the other, "but it‘s a job for life."

So Cornwall is all out for the war effort. It‘s sending its young men, but first it started to send its money. In the war savigs campaign 98.7 per cent, of the industrial workers pledged themselves for so much per month. The Victory Loan campaign in the counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry went over with a bang. "The war effort of Frenchâ€"Canaâ€" dians and others here has been amaZzâ€" ing," stated Mr. Dougall. "Every apâ€" peal is instantly responded to. There‘s no difference of opinion. Everybody‘s doing all he can. If the rest of Canâ€" ada would follow Cormnwall‘s example and the example of the young men at our training centre, there‘d be an end to this bickering and we‘d all get .on with the war. Our young man don‘t hang back and make excuses, They work together." Thinks He Has Good Job PAGE FTVE
