This plan is to largely increase the local membership, and to hold big initiation classes on Nov. 16th. Memâ€" bers of the Timmins Lodge of the Moose are working very ‘earnestly at ‘present to assure the fact that Nov. 16th and Nov. 17th, shall be very meâ€" morable dates here.

Mr. Isaacs said that last year he decided that if tea bags could be sent to the people of Britain it would be a great help, especlally ta tWose in air raid shelters. He pictured conditions that were inevitable in the shelters no matter how carefully conâ€" ducted, The strain, the anxiety, the effect on health and spirits, and then he suggested that the people of Britain being so fond of tea, and tea scarce and expensive there now, it would be a great comfort and help to the people‘ if there was a special supply of tea for them. He secured permission from Premier Churchill to ship the tea to Britain, principally for people in air raid shelters Mr. Isaacs, told the ‘Kiwanis that his appeal was to all ‘clubs and organizations to help. Durâ€" ‘ing the past year he has.succeeded in raising twentyâ€"five to thirty thousand ‘tea bags per month for shipment to ‘England. He appealed to the Kiwanis Club to assistr in this effort. To give ‘point to his appeal he told of discussâ€" ing the matter with a Canadian soldier back from England. The soldier spoke _of the foul air people in air raid shelters are subjected to on some ocâ€" "What a welcome thing a cup tea would be in such a case!" Mr. Isaacs commented. The review of the news of the week was very ably given by Kiwanian G. N. Ross. He quoted part of Lord Beaverâ€" ibrook‘s; talk on allâ€"out assistance to Russia. Japan, he suggested, will keep out of the war until Russia shows a greater indication of weakening. He gave some excerpts from Hon. Anthony Kden‘s address in reference to public demands for more definite action. Anâ€" thony Eden said:â€"‘"If the public knew .what the government is planning, they would cease their demands." German attack on Moscow has slowedâ€"down, Ross commentéed; and has warned against any premature attempt at the invasion of Europe.
