Council Passes Byâ€"law to Stop Children from Riding on Backs of Trucks or Cars Timmins town council took steps yesterday afternoon at a committee meeting to curb the hitching of rides on the backs of automcbiles or any. other moving vehicles by children. The byâ€"law that was passed at yesterday's‘ meeting makes it an offence to hitch onto any part of a moving vehicle and. also makes the G@river of such vehicle responsible in that he is prohibitied from allowing any children to hitch onto his vehicles. The idea of passing the byâ€"law was presented to the council last week when they were asked to do something to stoo the children from grabbing onto the backs of cars and. dragging themselves along the icy streets, It was pointed out that it was a dangerâ€" ous practice and there was always the chance that a serious accident would result. The town fathers passed their information along to the town solicitors and asked them to draft a byâ€"law. Any motorists who knowingly lets any child ride behind his vehicle is liable to a fine not to exceed fifty dollars and if payment of the fine is not made he can be sent to prison for twentyâ€"one days. It was suggested at yesterday‘s meeting that copies of the resolution be made and sent to each of the schools in town as well as disâ€" played in the public library. Copies will also be sent to the Timmins Reâ€" tail Merchants‘ Association so that they can let their members know that they are breaking the law by allowing the children to ride behind their cars or trucks. Motorists Who Knowingly Let Children Ride on Back of Trucks or Cars Are Also Liable for Punishment. Can be Fined as High as Fifty Dollars. Oe 'mooomâ€momooo‘ Any of the children caught cannot be punished under the byâ€"law but they can be charged as juvenile deâ€" linquents and appear before Magistrate Atkinson. Another of the town byâ€"laws came in for some. discussion,. at. yesterday‘s meeting. It was the traffic byâ€"law and some changes were recommended in it. The police chief had been in touch with the town solicitors and hnad sugâ€" gested that a few changes be made to make the streets safer for the public. day were to make Toke street a through street, to prohibit twentyâ€"four hour parking any place in the â€"town, angle parking in several sections of the town, ete. The matter was left with Councillor Roberts why will study the various changes and discover if there are any other changes to be made before the byâ€"law is turned over to the town solicitors to be dressed up. The clerk suggested to the council that they pass a byâ€"law to control bus service in the town. The suggestion was made because of a radio announceâ€" ment that said the government could take over control of any vehicle unless the municipality had the control. The town wanted to get the control first. Last week a byâ€"law was passed auâ€" thorizing Arch Gillies, Ontario Land Surveyor, to make a survey of the Gilâ€" lies Lake Beach and since that time it was discovered that Mr. Gillies would be out of town for the remainder of the winter so a new byâ€"law authorizing the clerk to have another surveyor do the job was passed. The Canadian Federation of Mayors wrote to the mayor asking him if he intended to attend the annual meeting that will be held in the near future. It was suggested that if possible the federation would like to hold the meetâ€" ing on June 2, 3 and 4. A proposed agenda was forwarded and the mayor was informed that more correspondâ€" ence would follow. The matter was left over for the time being. Fred J. Conboy, mayor of the City of Toronto, wrote to the council asking them if they would like to hbe repreâ€" sented at a conference that will be held in Toronto at the earliest possible moment. The object of the conference will be to make a survey of the difâ€" ferent allowances for food made by the government to the various municipaliâ€" ties of persons on relief. It was shown that the food allowances at the present time were no more than enough to keep a person from starving and the government was thinking of cutting their share still further. Mayor Brunette was requested to attend the conference when it is called. St. Mary‘s Hospital wrote to the council asking for a grant of the same amount as last year and the request was fvled to be considered with the estimates. ‘The Department of Health wrote to the council informing them of a lettor that they received from certain plumbâ€" ers in the town asking for a conference with the board before the town‘s byâ€" law was passed. They said that they were ï¬lst passing on the information and the council could act on it as they saw fit and they wanted to know i the council wanted to offer any comâ€" ment or if they wanted to attend the conference if it was called. The counâ€" cil decided that they wou.dn‘t attend the conference and instead they inâ€" formed the clerk to write to the deâ€" partment informing them that the by â€" law had been sent to them after six months of consideration and that they 2 sections 12 Pages wanted it passed immediately The Liquor Control Board wrote to the council and in their letter they acknowledge receipt of the town‘s letâ€" ter and asked for full particulars in regard to the town‘s request for the later opening hour of the wine store in Timmins. They said that they were unable to consider the idea of changâ€" ing the opening hours or sending an inspector up unless they had some specific reason. A petftion was received by the counâ€" cil from the residents on Cedar street across the railway tracks asking that the street be opened. The petition was signed by all property owners in the district and the town instructed the clerk to have the town solicitors draw up the necessary papers to open the street, \Cecil Clark, 140 Main avenue, was given permission to operate a woodâ€" yard at the same address. His appliâ€" cation was accompanied by a petition signed by all the property owners in the district and it had the approval of all cfficials.

K Club Drive Saturday to Relieve the Scarcity of Milk Bottles Here ‘The Bovs "K" Club will be busy Saturday on their latest war effortâ€" the collecting of milk bottles for the Northern Producers‘ Dairy, the Timâ€" mins Dairy and Korman‘s Dairy. The drive for bottles will start at 9 a.m., and the boys intend to caver the whole town very thoroughly. All who have any of these milk bottles are asked to place them on the steps or at the doors so that the boys can pick them up easily. The work of covering the town is a big job and all should give the boys every possible help. f Householders Asked to Place Milk Bottles on Steps or at Doors So That Roys Can Pick Them Up Easily. Anâ€" other War Effort by the Boys‘ "K" Club. The reasons for the drive are as follows :â€" There is a very decided shortage of milk bottles and the dairies named are feeling the shortage very much. At the same time it is known that many people have in their pantries or their cellars or elsewhere in their houses many milk bottles that have gathered during the months or years, One woman is reported as saying that she had over a hundred of these botâ€" tles that had gathered for one reason or another. There are other similar reports. Some days ago the milk dealers were forced to charge for bottles, the fee to be returned when the bottle was Published EKVERY THURSDAY in Timminsa, Ont..

For |some time past he had been worried !over his conncction with the firm and it is understood that contemplated |changes in the firm impelled him to despondency. Dr. ‘H. L.

In Timmins for Twenty Years The funeral took place from his late residence, 85 Hemlock street, on Monâ€" day afternoon and was largely attendâ€" ed, there being many tributes paid him by friends and acquaintances. Service was conducted at the Synagogue by Rabbi Linder. The body was shipped to Toronto where interment was made. The late Morris Bucovetsky was born at Luck, Poland, 41 years Ago. He married Stella Rabkin, of Cobalt, and is survived by his widow and three daughters. Three brothers and two sister also survive. He had lived in Timmins for twenty years. He was a member of the B‘Nai Brith Society and of the Golden Beaver Lodge of the The outstanding feature of the first annual banquet of the Timmins Reâ€" tail Merchants‘ Association at the Emâ€" pire hotel on Tuesday evening was the address by Mr. D. M. LaBourdais, director of retail trade administration for the War Time Prices and Trade Board. The guest speaker reviewed the history, the cause and the purpose of the war time prices regulations. Thie purpose was to prevent inflation, which would be ruinous to the country. Thse price ceiling plan had never been tried before in any democratic country and there were: many reasons why it would not <wotrtk, but one reason emphasized Plans for W ar Time Prices Ably Explained to the Business Men of Timmins Headline Feature of Banquet of Retail Merchants‘ Assoâ€" ciation is Address by D.

Mr. LaBourâ€" dais appealed for all to help to make it work. Despite some mistakes, it was effecting its purpose now, and if all gave it coâ€"operation and honest trial for six months, he was sure it would be found a complete success. Mr. Laâ€" Bourdais explained that the price ceilâ€" ing was the controlling feature of the plan. He showed how the basic prices were arrived at, and pointed out that while in general the plan would work almost automatically, there were cases where subsidies or other helps were essential. It was not intended to put any of the merchants out of business, but rather to so adjust things that inâ€" flation would be avoided, while a livâ€" ing profit (through a reduced one in many cases) would be left to manufacâ€" turer, wholesaler and retailer. The returned. To make this plan practical a ticket was issued with each bottle sold on this plan. This ticket has to be returned to secure refund. There are literally thousands of botâ€" tles that were out before this refundâ€" ticket plan was inaugurated. There is no refund due on any of these bottles. They were issued before the new plan was forced on the dealers. The problem faced by the milk dealâ€" ers was to secure the return of their bottles. Due to the war milk bottles can not be purchased as before. The Boys "K" Club has come to the rescue. As a patriotic effort they are going to collect all bottles on Saturday. They deserve the most generous supâ€" port of everybody. All should make a thorough search to see if there are any milk bottles around the place. If there are they should gather them up and place them in a box or basket or even in a heap on the steps or at the door. Let everybody help in this necessary war effort on Saturday, March 14th. Have the bottles ready for the boys before 9 o‘clock so that the lads may complete their big job without undue difficulty. Everybody help to the limit. ‘Thanks a million! TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 12TH, 1942 Roller Bandaging is Studied at Nursing Meet Mr. Ash of the SJ.AB. was guest speaker at the regular meeting of the Nursing Division held on Wednesday evening in the Ambulance hall. He Regular business was discussed and plans were made to hold the regular meceting as usual on Wednesday evenâ€" ing, March 18th. ~ave an interesting demonstration of roller bandaging, which was the course of study for the members that evening. Funeral Services at United Church for Late Lew Wen Funeral services were held on Wedâ€" nesday afternocn at the Timmins United Church for the late Lew Wen, chef at the Star Cafe for several years, who passed away suddenly on Saturâ€" day, March "Ith, as the result of a heart attack. The late Mr. Wen, a naâ€" tive of China, was very popular among his countrymen, and among all who knew him, and the many floral tributes showed this popularity. The Rev. W. M. Mustard conducted the ceremony, and interment was made in the Timâ€" mins cemetery. The late Mr. Wen came to Canada from China fourteen years ago, and resided in Toronto for a few years beâ€" fore coming to Timmins. He was fiftyâ€" one years old. chief hope was the doing away with unnecessary "fills" both in goods and in business. In the last war the war costs took only 10 per cent of the inâ€"â€" come of the people of Canada; this war is taking over 40 per cent. War conditions have greatly increased purâ€" chasing power but very materially reâ€" duced the supply of goods and services. Without regulation this would make inflation inevitable. The present plan by stabilizing prices and wages avoided the ruin of inflation. It was hoped to keep business and general economy on an even keel. Some would go out of business, but in general the situation would be saved. As examples of unâ€" necessary "frills," he quoted the fact that there were 1600 shades of wool, which the manufacturers were reducâ€" ing to 48 for the duration. There were 300 odd styles in rubbers, and these were to be reduced to a minimum. There were frills on clothing such as cuffls on men‘s trousers, unnecessary ornaments, etc., that would be done away withâ€"saving materials without undue sacrifice. The board intends to do away with premiums, coupons, trade discounts and similar plans that had developed to a point approaching rackets. The whole plan would mean a return to a simpler and less ornate way of life. He believed that in the long run it would prove beneficial to business, and when the war was over business would not wish to return to. the old practices. He pointed out that some goods would disappear altogether from the market, while others would be less ornate and in some cases scarce. He pointed out that one trouble to the present had been in cases where goods could not be replaced to sell at the basic price. In some cases the basic price was less than the wholesale cost. The board was always ready to adjust such cases when called to attention. In closing his notable address, Mr. LaBourdais said that the smaller dealâ€" er need not fear discrimination in the supply of goods. The board was deâ€" termined that all should be fairly used. There would be no favouritism, no puolitics. Merchants may not be able to get as much goods in some lines as they may ask, but they are sure to get their share. If they have difficulâ€" ties along this line he told them to get i in touch with the board at once.

The judge dismissed the appliâ€" cation on the grounds that Mr. Bartleâ€" man was not suing the town but rather defending expropriation proceedings started by the town, and also because of the failure to file a paper in the court within the prescribed time.

Japs Commut Brutal Atrocities on U.K. Prisoners of War Canada U sing Japanese Here With Sickening Conâ€" sideration. London, England, March 11 â€" An official British spokesman declared toâ€" day that 50 British officers and men were bound hand and foot and then bayoneted to death during Japanese atrocities at Hong King after the crown colony was captured. (The British statement was released simultaneously by the department of external affairs in Ottawa, where it was attributed to Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, speaking in the House of Commons.) He charged that women, both Asiaâ€" tic and European, were raped and murâ€" dered, and one entire Chinese dxstnct was designabed as a brothel, regardles of the status of the residents. All survivors of the Hong Kong garâ€" tison were herded into a camp of wrecked huts without doors, windows, light or sanitation, he said. ‘The dead had to be buried in a corâ€" ner of the camp. No drugs or medical facilities were supplied, he declared. He said eyeâ€"witnesses had confirmed the reports of Japanese atrocities in Hong Kong; that the atrocities were committed without race or colour disâ€" tinctions and were of the same kind which aroused the world‘s horror at the tinie of the Nanking massacre in 1937.
