Council Arranges New System for License to Operate Woodyards Any Person Applying for License Now Must Have Signed Petition from All Residents Within T‘wo Hundred Feet of Property. Council Will Feed Soldiers in Motorized regulation works out. At the start when the application was read the clerk added that the appliâ€" cation had received the approved of by the Fire Chief, Police Chief, Buildâ€" ing Inspector and Assessor. ‘The counâ€", cil then wanted to know if the wood~â€" yard had already been operating and then the call went out for the fire chief, the police chief, and the building inâ€" spector. They had all said that they had inspected the woodyard and apâ€" proved of it. Each of them said that there was wood on the property but as far as they knew the man had not been sellingâ€"~any of it before applying for his license. In the abseonce of Mayor Brunette yesterday afternoon at the special meeting of the Timmins town courril, Councillior Bill Roberts occupied the chair with Councillors McDermott, Spconer, Bartleman and Eyre present. Council had a long and dreary disâ€" cussion on an application for a license to operate a woodyard and from the long debate evolved an idea â€"that chanzes the whole setâ€"up in regard to applying for licenses for woodyards or junk yards. It was finally gecided that in fubure and on yesterday‘s apâ€" plication, a petition of all the residâ€" ents within a radius of two hundred feet of the property where the woodâ€" yard was to be located would have to be presented with the application for a license. All of the councillors agreed that they wouldn‘t like to have wood â€" yard next door to them and they felt that other property owners should havse In the absonce of M; yesterday afternoon at meeting cof the Timmins Councillior Bill Roberts chair with Councillors Spconer, Bartleman and a voice in the granting of a license to these people. The application that was received yvesterday afternoon is being used as a test case to see how the new regulation works; out. The whole thing eventually simmerâ€" ed down to an end and it was dqecided that in future residents would. have the opportunity to register a complaint against a licensis being granted. Another question that saw a lot of debate yesterday was the question of providing for a meal for the motorized convoy that will visit Timmins on Monâ€" day afterncon. The Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion had volunteerâ€" ed to prepare the meal free of charge if the town would supply the food. The councils thought that they should not be asked to supply the food but that it should be the government‘s responsibility. They all thought that if it were the Algonquin Regiment that was coming to Timmins it would be a different matter as the Regimens Kirkland Mines Working As Usual responsibility. They all thought that if it were the Algonquin Regiment that was coming to Timmins it would be a different matter as the Regimens Was made up of a lot of Timmins men but the memibers of this motorized conâ€" voy were practically all southern men who were strangers in this part of the country. Finally the council deâ€" cided to spend $50 on the food and if it amounted to any more than that they would not be responsible for it. In the letter from the headquarters of Military District No. 2, that asked the town to supply the food and enterâ€" tain the mon, was also enclosed a sugâ€" gestion that the mayor and council ride with the convoy from South Porâ€" cupine to Timmins. This idea went by the boards when it wasâ€"decided that the council would be in the town hall to receive the men when they arrived. The Minister of Finance in the Deminion government wrote to the clerk tellinz him that he had received his letter in regard to the municipaliâ€" ties dropping the corporalion income tax for the duration of the war and had forwarded a copy of it to the proâ€" per people.

The convoy is said to be one of the largest and most comâ€" plete to have travelled any distance in Canada since the start of the war. The convoy comes from Camp Borden and the crack men of the camp were picked to take part in the monster demonstration. In command of the entire convoy is Captain W. A. Hamâ€" bley, while Captain W. R. Picaud is in charge of the vehicles and Lieut. W. J. Powers is in command of the demonâ€" stration platoon. * If Timmins is no different from any other Northern town that the convoy has gone through since leaving their camp last Priday the reception will be impressive. Some think that the reâ€" ception that is planned for the visiting convoy in Timmins is much better than any of the other towns. One of the things that is being done is the arâ€" ranging of a free dance for the soldiers at the McIntyre arena. ‘Another is the fine dinner that will be tendered to the men at the Legion Hall on Monday night. The Timmins branth of the Canadian Legion is planning a party for the men at the McIntyre Arena for an hour before the big free dance starts on Tuesday night. Everybody is pulling hard to make the visit a sucâ€" cess but none is pulling harder than Pte. Larry Melville, the Yankee soldier who is in charge of the recruiting at the Armouries when Lieut. Countryâ€" man is away on one of his many trips. Larry joined the Canadian Army when he found that he was going to wait too long to get any action in the American Army, and, since he was sent to Timâ€" mins, he has made a host of friends and has worked hard. It was he who made practically all the arrangements for the entertainment of the men while they are in Tinmins. staff.> ‘L Dymond Horne., ; The rest of the convoy will be made up Bren Carriers, Reconnaisance Cars, Artillery Tractors, Field Kitchens, Field Ambulances, 30 cwt.

Peter Oulette Succumbed to Injuries After Reaching Hospital. Mr. .and Mrs. Aryvi Maki Injured. ( Motor Car Accident on Highway Near Hoyle on Friday Takes T‘wo Lives Authoritative sources in London declared today that the twin German thrusts on the central front had imâ€" periled to Russian armies but they had no confirmation of any encircling move actually being carried out, Military experts expect that the Germans have advanced as much as twenty miles in the past twentyâ€"four hours between Vyazma and Bryansk as well as capâ€" turing Orel on the Kharkohovyâ€"Moscow railroad. The Nazi high command has thrown all of the, weight of the German armâ€" ies into the battle for Moscow and they have undoubtedly advanced but at a terrible cost in manpower. This mornâ€" ing‘s communique from London on the Russian siituation is far from bright. It says that the situation is very grim but not hopeless. The Russian communique admits that the Germans have made progress in the past few days but they claim that the Nazis have thrown every bit of their reserves into the battle and are gambling everything on a quick victory. Dive bombers and tanks are scattered all over the battlefield and the loss in manpower is tremendous. The Russiians claim to be putting up The German communique is peppered with remarks that the Rusisian armies are completely shattered and that the war in Russia is practically finished. They say that Britain‘s hope of a twoâ€" front war is gone. They also claim that a breakâ€"through on the central front has encircled an estimated 60 or 70 Rusisian divisions. This would amount to about 1,000,000 men. a stubborn resistance to all the Gerâ€" man attacks.

Some of the stories suggesed that there was danger of disâ€" order and so on. Enquiry this mornâ€" ing, however, reveals the fact that the men are all at work as wual at the Kirkland mines. The stories no doubt grew from the fact that the Conciliation Board being held at Kirkland Lake came to an abrupt end yesterday. After part of the case for the mines had been preâ€" sented, J. F. Lash, representing the mines, said that there was no use in submitting further data, and that the mines were withdraiwing from any furâ€" ther presentation of argument, as the mines definitely would not recognize the CIO. and there was no use in dragging the matter along for a week or two. The mines were ready to grant collective bargaining and deal with committees of the employees. Hon. Jusitice McTague, chairman, and F. Wilkinson, K.C., and J. L. Cohen, K.C., members of the Board, later left the court room. Their report will be presented in a week or so, it is expected, It is expected in Kirkland Lake that the men will wait for the report of the board before taking any action. At any event they are at work as usual toâ€"day. It is understood that the Union will call a general meeting to discuss the matter, and that the meotâ€" ing may result in the government beâ€" ing asked for permission to take a strike vote.
