Red Cross Sponsoring National Drive, Assisting Boys "K" Club Here to Complete Work. Theatres Coâ€"operating by Pot and Pan Admission to Matinee. Friday and Saturday of this week, Sept. 5th and 6th, are the dates for the national aluminum salvage drive in Ontario and Quebec. The nationgl campaign is in charge of the Canadian Red Cross. In Timmins the National Salvage Committee appointed the Boys "K" Club to handle all salvage, and a remarkably fine job they have done. They have collected a large quantity of aluminum, and the Timmins Red Cross is now coâ€"operating with the Boys "K" Club for the national camâ€" paign Friday and Saturday. The "K" Club bovys and their supervisors have to sort ali salvage, remove all handles, rivets, and other foreign metal from the aluminum goods. They are doing more than collecting, and the work is a great credit to the lads and tikir supervisors, Dr. Graham B. Lane Speaks Effectively at Kiwanis Club on Clinic Work, Chest and Venereal Diseases. Shows How Service Clubs are Helping and Can Help. In his address to the Timmins Kiâ€" wanis Club luncheon, held this week on Tuesday on account of Monday beâ€" ing a holiday, Dr. Graham B. Lane, spoke both interestingly and effectively on the Clinic Work being done here under the sponsorship of the Dept. of Health. The Dept. of Health was anxiâ€" ous that the public should know of this clinic work, the speaker said, and the reason for this was evident as he conâ€" tinued his address. At more than one point in his address he referred to the value of education and publicity on health matters as a means of curbing disease and increasing health in genâ€" eral. With the understanding and coâ€" operation of the public the work was fascilitated. k clinic must keep appointments. If they miss appointments, notice is sent out. In closing his very informative adâ€" «iress, Dr. Lane gave the opinion that publicity and education seemed to be the best means to control venereal disâ€" ease and help along the cause of better public health. The address by Dr. Lane was very much appreciated for its value as disâ€" clesing the benefit of the public health clinic and the necessity for general inâ€" terest and coâ€"operation to assure betâ€" ter public health. Kiwanian W. H. Wilson was the winâ€" ner of the weekly War Savings Cerâ€" tificate draw. Visitor for the day was Mr. Meyer Bucovetsky. Dr. Lane noted that tuberculosis is the highest single cause of death beâ€" tween the ages of 15 and 40. The cost for treatment of tuberculosis in Onâ€" tario is about three million dollars a year. In addition to this there is the much greater loss to the public. Patients lose their earning power‘and families must be kept. The tubercuâ€" losis.death rate in Timmins from 1934 to 1939 was much higher than the average for the province, and promin-i ent citizens of Timmins agitated for a. clinic for tuberculosis. Any doctor can. refer cases to the clinic. The purpose of the clinic is to help those who canâ€" 10t A@{Toardâ€" treatment ~otherwise. Ca of patients before they are sent to the sanitorium is a cost to the municipality. Transportation to and from the saniâ€" torium and care after return are costs to the municipality. The province is responsible for the cost at the saniâ€" torium. Rehabilitation of tuberculosis patients not taken care of by province or municipality must be taken care of by service clubs and similar organizaâ€" itions. j Syphilis affeets approximately three per cent of the population in Cana«da.1 the speaker said. Thirty per cent of the people in mental hospitals are the results of syphilis While the death rate from syphilis is not high, the disease is disabling in its later stages, and victims spend number of years of later life unable to work. Syphilis is heriditary: gonorrhea is communicable and a public health problem. In mins in 1940 two hundred indigent cases of venereal disease received treatâ€" ment at cost to the public. Both the province and the municipality are conâ€" cerned in controlling venereal disease to keep down the cost to province and municipality. There is no excuse, Dr. Lane pointed out, for syphilis cases not being treated. If a patient can not pay his doctor he must receive treat. ment at the clinic. If patient takes the treatment prescribed the docter cannot disclose his name, under the secrecy Act. If patient does not conâ€" tinue treatment his name will be given to Health Dept. If he refuses treatâ€" ment, a summons can be issued. The Dept. of Health has had no trouble here in this respect. Those attending The clinic here, Dr. Lane said, sought prevention of tuberculosis and control of venereal diseases. Disease, he showed, became a public health proâ€" blem wh>n it was communicable. Such diseases as tuberculosis, syphilis, gonâ€" orrhea, were very costly to the public. 2 Sections 12 Pages _ EOhe PDorcupine AMdpante _ Although no definite announcement has been made on the question there is a report from reliable and wellâ€"inâ€" formed quarters that the Temiskaming Testing Laboratories at Cobalt, recentâ€" ly destroyed by fire, will be rebuilt almost at once. Work is understood to commence at a very early date. It is said that only the sampling and assaying plant will be installed. In closing his very informative adâ€" «lress, Dr. Lane gave the opinion that publicity and education seemed to be the best means to control venereal disâ€" ease and help along the cause of better public health.

They waited for the bear near the dump past the cemetery and they didn‘t have to wait very long. Near the old beanery they spotted the big black bear and the party of four startâ€" ed to staik him.: â€"At>9.15 Fireman Bill Martin finally got his sight lined on the unfortunate bear and wounded him with first shot. Three other firemen were with Martin to help him out but the fighting fireman needed no help. During their leisure hours the Timâ€" mins firemen go out of their way to find some sort of activity. Yesterday was no exception and ithe firemen heard a tip yesterday afternoon that there were a lot of bears in the bush south of the town so they organized a hunting party and right after their shift they left to find the bruin. Bears have been reported to be numâ€" erous all over this part of the north this year and several hunting expediâ€" tions have been organized but very few have come back to town with a prize such as the Timmins firemen got yesterday. After the bear was wounded he startâ€" ed back into bush again and the fireâ€" men had to follow him for more than threeâ€"quarters of a mile before they were able to catch up to him. When they did sight him again Bill Martin took another two shots at the bear and finished him there. The bear was brought into town today and weighed at the town scales and he tipped the scales at 386 pounds. The need for aluminum is urgent and any who have pots or pans or other! anticles that they can give should help the work. When it is remembered that it takes 4.000 pounds of aluminum a fighting plane and much more for a | bomber, the need for aluminum should| be evident. Every little helps. | Fireman Bill Martin was the man who did the shooting to kill the bruin and Firemen Eugene Laporte, Gordon Pooley and Captain Bill Stanley were on hand to witness the killing.

Conviction is Registered Against Local T axi Driver Magistrate Atkinson imposed one of the stiffest sentences on Wednesday morning in special police court that he has passed for some time when he sent Joseph A. Houde to Haileybury for three months at hard labour and conâ€" fiscated the beer that had been seized as well as confiscating the car in which Houde had been caught. Houde was facing a charge of keeping liquor for sale and at the conclusion of the crown‘s case the magistrate seemed inclined to dismiss the charge on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence, but when Houde took the stand his evidence was torn to shreds by the torrid. crossâ€"examination of Crown Attorney S. A. Caldbick, Some surprise evidence entered by Constable Angelo Guolla in the form of brewery sales slips proved to be the turning point in the case. The seized car was the property O Wilbert Brewer, owner of the Broadâ€" way Taxi, who was also facing aA charge of illegal possession of beer but the charge against him was withdrawn when Crown Attorney Caldbick said that the charge had been laid as a result of the story that Houde had told the police.

Constable Ronald Munroe was the first witness to take the stand and he said that on the night of August 23rd about eleven o‘clock he had been proâ€" ceeding along Third Avenueâ€" on his beat and just as he was passing the Broadway Taxi he had heard Houde, who was a taxi driver, talking to sevâ€" and Birch the temperature was 57 degrees.

The driver said that he had no beer but when the police drove to the police station and searched the car they found some beer in the trunk at the rear of the car. Houde said that he had no key to the trunk and the police were forced to remove the back seat to get the beer out. Houde then claimâ€" ed ownership of the ‘beer and more cases that were found, in the basement of 113 Birch street south where Houde had said he had got the beer, Constable Guolla said that he had conducted a search of 113 Birch street south after Houde had told him he got the beer there and he found nine cases_ in the basement. Constable Beacock testified that he had accompanied Conâ€" stahle Guolla on the raid and gave the same particulars as Constable Guola. Although Russian and German comâ€" muniques are scarce today, it appears that Russia‘s enormous army is stubâ€" bornly holding what appears to be a desperate German attempt to take Leningrad at any cost and register one big viotory before winter stabilizes the line. The few German as well as Rusâ€" sian dispatches indicate that the Gerâ€" mans are making only the slightest gains and are paying a terrible price. The Russians report to have driven the Germans back 30 miles at one point on the central front and are said to be attacking tirelessly still. The Germans have been compelled to remove large numbers of men from the central front to the Lenningrad front and have thus weakened their central line, In the Ukraine the pressure seems to have been greatly relieved by the consistent drive of Marshall Timoshenâ€" ko‘s men on the Smolenskâ€"Gomel line suggesting that men have also been transferred from that point. RAF. bombers attacked the docks at Brest again last night as well as visiting several other ports on the Grermanâ€"held coast. Sseveral naval bases were visited and considerable damage (was done. German air activiâ€" ty over Britain was at a minimium. At the conclusion of the crown‘s case the magistrate suggested that the charge be dropped as there was insufâ€" ficient evidence but Crown Attorney Caldbick wanted the case to go on. Dean Kester, Houde‘s lawyer then sent Houde to the stand. From Ankara, Turkey, it is reported that the Bulgarians have rejected Gerâ€" man demands that it declare war on Russia and send an expenditionary force to the eastern front. Strong reinforcements of Indian troops and British artillery were reâ€" ported to have arrived at Singapere today. All units were fully mechanizâ€" ed. Houde said that he had arranged to go on a fishing party with several friends on the night that he was arrestâ€" ed and he was bringing the beer to the party. He said that he had bought the beer that day. When he had bought the beer (4 cases in all), he had given the address of a friend at 50 Crescent avenue. He had then gone to that address with the beer but there was nobody home so he brought the beer to the basement at 113 Birch street south, and had left it there until the night when he was picked up. He claimed that the men to whom he had been talking at the taxi stand were the friends with whom he was going fishing. At that point Constable Guolla passed an envelope to the crown attorney containing the evidence that convicted Houde, The brewery sales slips were brought out one at a time and on each Houde swore that it was his signature.
