Council Backs Up Their Engineer‘s Department in Regard to Trimming Trees Vol. XXVT. o . 78 Some of the Overhanging Branches Said to be Dangerous, So Engineer‘s Department is Authorized to Trim Them. Long, Noisy Meeting Yesterday Afternoon. Mayor J. E. Brunette Mayor of Timmins, Timmins, Ont. Dear Mr. Brunette:â€"Yesterday, Oct. 21st, at 9.30 a.m., we delivered to Chief Gagnon of the Timmins police, a letter asking that a trespass of our property 105 Tamarack street, be investigated. Since that time none of our family have been interrogated with respect to the alleged trespass, nor would it appear that any investigation has taken place. In case of police assistance beâ€" ing required in the town of Timmins, would you mind informing me to whom we should apply. One of the items that took up some time was the following letter from Dr. 8. L. Honey:â€" 6. L. HMHoney. Thouzh the letter said nothing about trees the council appeared to take it for granted that Dr. Honey was Cconâ€" cerned over the trimming of trees at his residence. It was brought out in the discussion that the engineer‘s deâ€" partment had been ordered to trim the branches overhanging the sidewalks, and at the conclusion of the argument the council decided that the department should continue to look after the said trimming of trees. Miss Terry voiced the opinion that some of the branches were so bad that she almost lost an eye. The letter from Dr. Honey was finally deferred and it will be passed on to the police commission at their meeting next week. A letter was received from the Onâ€" tario â€" Department _ of Highways, acknowledging receipt of a letter and resolution that the council forwarded to them some time ago regarding the building »ofâ€" a newâ€"subway at the enâ€" trance to the town. They told the counâ€" cil that the matter didn‘t come under their department, The council also forwarded a copy of the resolution to the T. N. O. Railway officials but they have not received an answer as yet. The Department of Highways als spoke about the traffic lights that the town suggested at the corner of Spruce Street and Fourth Avenue and said that they would have to apply to Mr. J. P. Bickell of the Dpepartment of Highways for permission to install them. Yes‘erday‘s council meeting was one of the noisiest and longest meetings held for some time. Practically every item of business before the meeting roused much argument. Mayor Bruâ€" nette presided at the meeting and Councilliors Terry, Robert, McDermott Bartleman and Eyre were prestnt. ‘M-o“ooo“oo'o «t P P AC C t The Bomb Victims‘ Fund, Junior Committee, wrote to the council asking for permission to conduct a tag day on either the 6th or 13th of December. They were given permission to hold a tag day on December 6th. ‘The council received a questionaire from the Ontario Municipal Board asking them if they were in favour of unemployment insurance for municipal employees. This brought out ancther long argument by the council who more or less shared the opinion that the unâ€" employment insurance scheme in its present stage was useless. Councillor Terry suggested that the council tell the Municipal Board that they were not in favour of the plan and then start a system of annuities by themâ€" selves. Council finaklly authorized the clerkâ€"treasurer to fill in the questionâ€" aire saying that the council was in favour of the scheme if it covered all employees. o# . LC = e .

The secretary of the band, James Cowan, pointed out that four of the younger members of the band had no pipes at the present time and the $425 would purchase four «ts of pipes and a number of chanters Edwin Lacey and W. H. Harris wrote to the council complaining about woodyard . that was contemplated in their district. The application had not been received by the town as they unâ€" derstood that the man had chosen anâ€" other location. for practice Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis asked if the town would extend the water line for a couple of blocks on Carlin Avenue. They offered to pay for the extending of the water line if the town would guarantee to return their investment when enough houses were built to bring in the necessary revenue to pay the cost. Council accepted this proâ€" posal. Calxibick and Yates wrote to the council regarding a recent police court case concerning the Town of Timmins byâ€"law regarding wholesailers s>lling fruit from trucks without the necesâ€" sary license. In the case Magistrate Atkinson decided against> the byâ€"law but Caldbick and Yates thought the deswion should be appealed but that the persons who would benefit from the appeal should bear the expense, _ _Mrs. G.

From Moscow, officials say that the Red Army as well as the German forces are exhausted by the titanic struggle. A small factor may tip the scales either one way or the other. The German offensive is said to have run into a howling Russian gale that has piled snow onto the roads that were all but impassible on the approaches to Moscow. * The German high command is said to have thrown all avalla'blc planes into the attack on Moscow in an effort to get its stalled blitz reâ€"started.

Published in Timmins, Ont., Canada Esteemed Proneer Doctor of North Dr. Moore is Dead One of the Publicâ€"Spirited Citizens Who Gave Notâ€" able Service in Building This Part of the North. There was very general sorrow here at the news this week that Dr. Herâ€" man H. Moore, one of the outstanding pioneer medical men of the North, had passed away at Watkins Glen, New YÂ¥ork""on ‘NMronday. "He"Had been "in poor health for some time. Literally thousands of people in this North will sincerely mourn his death as he was not only a surgeon and medical man of outst-anding ability, but as a man and a citizen he was noted for his kindliâ€" ness, his interest and his public spirit. Few men did more to build the town of Timmins than he did. He served with special talent on the first town council of the new town of Timmins, his work for the hospital was of the greatest importance to the town and district, and the remarkable health reâ€" cord of this town in its freedom from epidemics was chiefly due to Dr. Moore‘s remarkable work as Medical Health Officer, a post he held from the iremen Also Call the Police for Assistance. The late Dr. Moore, who was about 60 years of age graduated from the University of Toronto in 1907, and pracâ€" tised first in Haileybury. In 1910 he came to the Porcupine, locating first at Pottsville, where he was one of those coming through the 1911 fire. _ After the fire he moved to Aura Lake (now Schumacher). In 1913 he moved to Timmins and for many years was Holâ€" linger doctor here. He won the greatâ€" est popularity and esteem not only for his undoubted skill as a surgeon and doctor but for his high qualities as a gentleman. In 1926 he left Timmins and since had been engaged in pracâ€" tice and hospital work in Old Ontario and in the United States. beginning of the town until he left here in 19386.

T. Bowman. special events announcer of the C.B.C , to the joint meetmg of the service clubs of the camp, was the summary of one of the guests: "It was the best address heard in this war for recruiting, the best address heard for War Savings, the best address for the Red Cross, the best address for the Bomb Victims‘ Fund." Mr. Bowman did not urge any man to sign up he asked for no money or support for any cause; but his pic«â€" tures of affairs and incidents were so graphic, so inspiring, that the talk carried its own appeal in a way that impressed all. There was scarcely phase of the war that Mr. Bowman did no touch on, and everything he touch= ed seemed to carry its own lesson and inspiration. Mr. Bowimnan was here as the guest of the Timmins Lions Club, and the meeting had been turned into jJoink event at which the Timmins Lions, the Schumacher Lions, the Timmins Kiâ€" wanis, the South Porcupine Kiwanis and the Timmins Kinsmen were all well represented. There were about 150 sitting down to the repast at the Emâ€" pire hotel, emblems of‘ the three ser«= vice clubs, and flags and other patriQ= tic symbols being much in evidence. Mr. S. G.‘Fowler, president of the Timâ€" mins Lions Club, welcomed the several service clubs represented and the other guests present. A feature of the open« ing was the hymn rendered by Lion Herb Treneer as a grace. Mr. Treneer also presided at the piano for the comâ€" munity singing. President Bob Stock, of the Timmins Kinsmen, introduced the guests of the evening in very effective way. President W. O. Langdon, of the Timmins Kiwanis Club, then took over the chairmanship of the meeting. He referred first to the of Dr. H. H. Moore, one of the most esteemed of the pioneer doctors of the North. ‘The gathering rose and stood in a iminute‘s silence in honour of the late Dr. Moore and his service to the community. To Lion W. K. Wylie, of Schumacher Canadian President of the Lions Inâ€" ternational, was given the duty of inâ€" troducing the guest speaker of the evening. This was done in very effecâ€" tive way, President Wylie touching on the highlights in the brilliant career of Mr. Bowman. Mr. Bowman in reply said it was duty as well as a pleasure for him to speak on this occasion, for he knew well the remarkable work being done by the service clubs in aiding every worthy patriotic cause and giving inâ€" spiring leadershp to the war effort, Mr. Bowman made special reference to the comfort and inspiration given the British people as Canada met and passed each objective, whether for loans for Red Cross or War Services or other patriotic effort. He gave amusâ€" ing description of a Cockney praising Canada for its good work in so many drives and appeals. When Canada went "over the top" he said, it meant almost as much to the British people as the sinking of the Bismarck. Mr. Bowman was sixteen months in Britain and in very close touch with the people and all branches of the fighting forces. He exhibited souvenirs of his visit, a gas mask and a ration book being among the articles passed around the gathering. He explained the need for gas masks in case of German gas attack and gave a lively description of the British response to the order for allâ€"even the babiesâ€"to have this means of protection ready at all times. foodstuffs overseas to feature such items as fruits and chocolates, He gave graphic description of the spirit of the British people in 10929 and compared that scarcely roused attitude to the remarkable moral of the preâ€" sent. In regard to the suggestion that Britain should invade Europe now to relieve the pressure on Russia, Mr. Bowman thought all that should be ileft, to the judgment of the authorities. One thing was sure, he said, and that was that there should beâ€" ample equipâ€" ment before there was any more atâ€" tempts against the Huns who had been preparing for years. In the past Briâ€" tain had been fighting with all the odds against her in‘ the way of equipâ€" ment. This was being changed in reâ€" markable way, however, and the time was coming when the Huns would find themselves outtlassed in every way. (Continued on Page Two)j 4 The ration books, he pointed out, were not necessary for those eating in restaurants and other community forms of feeding the people as these methods entailed the greatest measure of econâ€" omy of food. Some foods were scarce in Britain, but there was really plenty to eat. Onions, eggs and fruits were among the scarce foods. There was lots of potatoes, bread, milk, The chief trouble seemed to be that the diet had a tendency to become monoâ€" tonous.. He advised those> sending foodstuffs overseas to feature such Single Copyâ€"Five Centsg t all that should be r1ent of the authorities. ure, he said, and that hould beâ€"ample equipâ€"
