One of them got a remand and the other five were covnicted. The man getting the reâ€" mand was Onni Pihlaja who was charged with having wine in a place already declared public.

The two girls in the case are renorted to be only eleven and twelve years old. In asking for the adjournment, Deâ€" fence Counsel Dean Kester, IKC., told the court that he had just been reâ€" tained that morning and had not had a chance to discuss the case with his client. He also asked if bail could be arranged but this request was refused on the grounds that the charge against the man was very serious. Conseâ€" quently the accused will remain conâ€" fined to the Timmins jail for another week. Oscar Schnobb, a sixtyâ€"fourâ€"yearâ€"old Timmins man, was remanded for a week when he appeared before Magisâ€" trate Atkinson in police court this week.

Housewives will be the first to be affected by the restriction of these mietals to war uses. A large number of household articles in common use for cooking and other household uses will not be availâ€" able as soon as present supplies are ‘sold. ‘Unâ€" doubtedly there will soon be homeâ€"made or other substitutes ready for use. Many of the articles are of only comparatively recent invention and A radio announcer last week referred to the gasâ€" oline "cuepons‘‘. He missed his cue.

A young bachelor is worried for fear the same thing may happen to women‘s clothes. ;chicanery. If there is ta be sacrifice, there should be some approach to some evenness of distribution of the burden. The women of Canada are the last people that should be asked for further sacrifices of any kind. They have given up husbands and sons and brothers.. They have filled the ranks of the auxiliary services. They have done their part in every,loyal cause. Their work for the Red Cross alone makes most thoughtful men ashamed of their own lack of service.. Women have cheerâ€" fully foregone many things that were important to their comfort and happiness. If the war really calls for further restrictions their response will be wholehearted and without complaint. They will not need the gratuitous advice of any accustomed to speaking out of turn.

It is difficult to find words searing enough to describe the criminals in this case.
