Interesting Address at Timmins Kiwanis Club on Noted Newspapermen Mo‘ooo tb t P To P P P Many Humorous References in Address by Edwin A. Copps, News Editor of Timmins Daily Press. Kiwanis Club Again Observes International Newspaper Week. Kiwanian Lyman Murray Gives Review of the Week‘s In introducing his address Mr. Copps: recited a very humorous poem touchâ€" ing on newspaper work and he closed his clever address the same way. The address throughout was made the more enjoyable by the humorous stories ana poems he included, and making apt reference to newspaper work. Mr. E. Copps spoke of many noted editors and famous publishers. Randolph Hearst came in for special mention as a prominent American publisher. Noted Canadian publishers mentioned by Mr. Copps included P. D. Ross of The Otâ€" tawa Journal and Joseph. Atkinson. of The Toronto Star. . Another.. weliâ€" known newspaperman referred to in the address was Irving S. Cobb. Burns Mantel was merfttioned as an outstandâ€" ing authority on the drama. A new feature has been introduced into the Kiwanis luncheon programme §â€"minute addresses each week on the news of the week. It fell to the lot of Kiwanian Lyman Murray to introâ€" duce this new feature on Monday, and his brief address on "My Impressions of the Week‘s News" was a very able summary of the news. It seemed esâ€" pecially appropriate on "International Newspaper Week" occasion. Here are the points he made from the week‘s news:â€"At the time there is the smallâ€" est amount of labour trouble since the was started. Another U.S. tanker has been sunk off the coast of Brazil The Chinese made a successful counter atâ€" tack against the Japanese in China. This week brought the first German admission of concern over trouble they were having in occupied countries. Turkey signed trade agreement with Great Britain for its entire output of chrome. United States and British representatives made agreements to. supply Russia with war materials in exchange for raw materials. This week Russians made definite progress in repelling German attacks, driving the Germans back many miles in places. Two important speeches were made this week. Churchill said: ‘"We have come up from a valley of despair to a broad plateau of hope." Hitler rushed back from Russian front to make a speech. His speech was one in which he made great promises to the German people. His talk was reâ€"broadcast but they had to discontinue this because of effecâ€" tive and pertinent interruptions by "Ivan the Terrible." The reports of various committees were read and commented upon. These included the report of the Boys "K" Club committee. ‘The Club was informed that the local squadron of 250 Air Cadets will be known as the Boys "K" Club Air Training Squadron. It was also announced that members of the Timmins Kiwanis Club will join the members of ithe South Porcupine Kiwanis Club in a visit to the Kiwanis Club at Noranda on Wednesday, Octoâ€" ber 22nd.

Figures recently released from auâ€" thentic government sources shows that Canada is now definitely in second place in world production of gold. The Transvadal, of course is far in the lead, producing over 34 per cent. of the world‘s total. Canada is second proâ€" ducing 13 per cent.; the United States comes third with near 12 per cent.; and Russia is in fourth place with a little over 11 per cent of the world‘s output for the year. For the present year Canada will be assured of conâ€" tinuing in second place, as the United States production will not likely equal that of 1940, and Russia‘s gold output will be materially reduced on account of war conditions.

We also wish to thank those people who attend our weekly bingo on Fridays at the Boys "K" Club hall." One Magistrate Atkinson, Crown Attorâ€" ney Caldbick and the local police offiâ€" cers ran into a snag in police court this week when they attempted to try Olavi Junnila, a local Finnish young man. It developed that the young man was a deaf mute and could neither read nor write. ‘Only one person in town was able to carry on a conversaâ€" tion with him and that was his broâ€" ther. The call rang through the courtroom for the man‘s brother but he was not present. The magistrate finally decided to remand the case for a week so that the police could atâ€" tempt to get the brother in court to act as interpreter. Police said that the young man was caught in the act of trying to enter a Chinese laundry when he was appreâ€" hended by two proprietors of the laundry, last week. Most of the cases at court this week were remanded till next week for a variety of reasons Many of the cases that were remanded were of a serious nature. ‘Arnold Chalut, of Avenue Road, was facing two charges laid unâ€" der the Ontario Liquor Control Act 185,890 lbs., with a gross value of $1,376.16. â€" The Advance would note, however, that this gross value of $1,â€" %16.16 should be multiplied by three or four to make the picture complete. The $1.376.16 represents only the amount received by the Boy "K" Club. That amount goes to patriotic purâ€" poses, so it does double service. In| addition there is the fact that a large amount of waste has been salvaged to useful purpose, and the further fact that material has been provided for vital war needs. ‘ The concluding paragraph of the reâ€" port shows another valuable war serâ€" vice being given by the Boys "K" Club. "We, again," says this paragraph, "turned over to the Canadian Legion over 1.000 copies of suitable for forwarding to the members of our armed forces, also a number of single and double decks ‘of playing cards which were turned in for that purpose." ie Young Man Charged With Breaking, Entering and Theft is Remanded Till Next Week.
