The _ aboveâ€"mentioned ‘certificates were taken in the year extending from February 1941 to February 1942. John Mackay, sheriff, of Cochrane, has been appointed Returning Officer for this riding for the plebiscite to be taken on Monday, April 27th. W. R. Ramsay, barrister and solicitor, of New Liskeard, has been appointed Returnâ€" ing Officer for the neighbouring riding of Temiskaming. Mrs John Knox, Chairman for Porcupine District Inauâ€" gurates "Vanishing Luncheon or Tea" Idea. If Chain Unbroken Plan Will Raise $978.50. Read the Aims and Purposes of This Fund, Worth Support of All. John Mackay, Cochrane, R. 0. for Plebiscite Vote The Advance calls special attention to a novel plan for raising money for a worthy patriotic cause and urges the coâ€"operation and :support of all.‘ The cause that needs only explanation to win general support is "The Mrs, Winâ€" ston Churchill Fund for British Serâ€" vice Women." These British Service Women number more than a million, and are doing a wonderful service in Army, Navy, Air Force, unition indusâ€" tries and on the farms. Below will be found further particulars about the Fund. These particulars and the letâ€" ter from Mrs. Churchill should be read by all. "Vanishing Teas or Luncheons‘ Mrs. John Knox, at the Hollinger Mine, has been appointed chairman of the Mrs. Winston Churchill Fund for British Service Women for the Porcuâ€" pine District. To start the Fund in Timmins, Mrs. Knox entertained six ladies who accepted with the underâ€" standing that each of them would en« tertain five others (making 30); these in turn entertain four each (120); then three would be entertained (360); next two each entertained (720); and finally each in the chain would entertain one. This entertainment is termed a "Vanâ€" ishing Luncheon or Tea." Each hostâ€" ess collects 50 cents from each of her suests and passes the money on to the chairman with the names of the guests, so that if the chainâ€"is broken at any point it can be detected and endeavour made to repalr it. At 50 cents per person the unbroken chain will raise $978.50. It is imperative that the chain be carried through without a break. This may be done without undue burden on anyone as the numâ€" ber of guests to be entertained is very small in each case and will not be burdensome at any stage of the plan. What the Fund is Doing The Mrs. Winston Churchill Pund for British Service Women, it is exâ€" nlained, is used to build hostels and canteens for the British Women in uniform who are so bravely helping to defend their country. There are over a million of them working with the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and on farms and in munition industries. Hundreds of thousands of women in Britain have had their home life disrupted and are billetted in towns and villages all over Great Britain. It is vital to these women after long hours of labour to have a centre of their own to which they can go for food, rest and companionship. These centres have been of inestimable value to the women of Britain in helping to keep Novel Plan Here in Aid of Mrs. Winston Churchill Fund for British Women forces. The Government grant is not nearly enough to suppoly the demand and so the British Y.W.CA. is asking the Canadian Y W.C.A. to assist them. Mrs. T. J.

Mrs. Winston Churchill, a life long friend of Mrs. Arthur Grenfell, Presiâ€" dent of the Y.W.CA. of Great Britain, has agreed to act as Chairman of this War Fund and has given permission to call the Fund in Canada by her name. The Canadian Y.WC.A. has agreed to raise $100,000 of which $45,â€" 000 has already been sent. Attached is a copy of letter from Mrs. Churchill to the Chairman of the Canadian Fund in acknowledgment of the first payment. Dear Mrs. Ross:â€"It is with heartâ€" felt gratitude that I write, as Preâ€" sident of the Y.W.C.A. War Time Fund, to thank you most warmly for the donation of £2,225.5.4 which we receivâ€" ed this week. It is indeed a magnifiâ€" cent gift and I was overwhelmed when told of its arrival. I am so anxious to take this opnportunity of sending my deepest thanks and appreciation toâ€" gether with those of the Association to all members of the Canadian YÂ¥.W. C.A., and also to everyone who has subscribed with such true generosity both now and in the past. Mrs. Grenfell has, I feel certain, endeavoured to illustrate to you clearâ€" ly the really vital work we are striving to do for women and girls in all secâ€" tions of the community at home and abroad. Now, with the everâ€"increasing registration and call up of girls for the Services, munition work and the Land Army, the demands made on us are coming in equally â€" increasing volume and the=need for Huts, Clubs and Canteens is an essential one, and one which the parents of these girls are deeply anxious to see met. By this you will realize what splendid use will be made of every penny of your gift, and it is indeed heartening to feel that all our friends in Canada have so fully appreciated our urgent need and given us such generous aid,. I should like to add that with the recent vast extension of the‘war zone which now embraces the Western Hemisphere we feel that you in Canada have now joined us in the "Home Front Line" and would send you all our best wishes for a vicâ€" torious and speedy end to hostilities and our greetings for 1942.

Popeye had one idea â€" the Army has another. According to the latest unofficial Army vocabulary the light utility car seen in the centre of the flat car is a "Jeep". At left everyone will recognize a Universal Carrier and at right is an eight hundredweight Personnel Truck. These vehicles form part of a comprehensive exhibition of the Canadian Army and its works now touring the Dominion from coast to coast. It will travel 15,000 miles and visit more than 200 centres from coast to coast. One car is devoted to communications. Set up by the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals, the exhibit shows the channels of communication from units in the field to Divisional Headquarters. These pictures show a sand bag shelter in which a unit wireless stavion has been set up. At centre is a model of an 8 cwt wireless truck and on the table a wireless set for use in vehicles.

Safety Hat Saves Him. Mel Russett, a Hollinger employee living <cat 204 Elm street south, was taken to St. Mary‘s Hospital suffering from injuries received in an accident at the mine on Tuesday about noon. A piece ‘of loose fell from the wall of the drift in which he was working and struck him on the head, glancing off his safety hat, and then striking him on the nose and wrist, breaking both. Mtr. Russett‘s partner, Desmond Hisko, was standing only a few feet away at the time of the accident but he escaped injury. He then helped the injured man to the station and onto the cage from where Russett was taken to the surface and treated by the mine‘s first aid men before being taken to the hospital where he was further treated for his injuries.

Methods of communications between front lines and headquarters of an army in the field are shown by the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals. A signaller is in a sand bag outpost. The line follows to a signal truck which in the field could maintain contact with the fast moving front. The messages go from there to headquartersâ€"all via mcdern radio equipment used in war and dispiayed on the train. Another part of the exhlbxt shows a folding boat bridge and a pontoon bridge which illustrate the vital part the engineers must play when the Canadians strike out at the enemy. One whole coach is devsoted to an Ordnance displayâ€"every piece of perâ€" sonal equipment a soldier is issued. Walking out uniform, tropical drill, the white garb of skiâ€"troops, bven antiâ€" gas respirators and cloaks are shown. Planned and executed entirely by Army authorities, the train carries $3,000,000 worth of the intricate tools of modern lightning war. Designed to bring Canadians into closer realization of what makes modern armies tick as Machine Shops of Mines in Porcupine Engaged Now in Vital War Work It is not generally known that pracâ€" tically all of the mines in the Porcuâ€" pine Camp are doing very vital war work in their machine shops. In some references in the press and on the radio it would appear as if the Dome Mines were the only one engaged in this very valuable war work. The Dome Mines itself gives no countenance to such an idea, instead in a letter this week to ‘The Advance, Mr. J. H. Stovel, genâ€" eral manager of Dome Mines, makes that and by _ | T hav of t hou a d of and are men it clear that every mine in Canada that|pf y could do so placed its resources for| ped. war work at the disposal of the governâ€" ment.

The train is painted in the red, gray, blue and maroon of the four Canadian divisions, and on its exhibition coaches are pileces of equipment used by all branches of the service, from food ra«â€" tions to 25â€"pounders that recently have served our cause so well on the desolate battlefields of North Africa. Little Joyce was making out the list of guests for her party. ‘"Don‘t forget the Robinson twins," said her mothâ€" er. "‘‘I only need ask one," replied On two flat cars at the back of the train may be seen the famous Valenâ€" tine tank, Bren gun carrier, 800,000,000 candle power antiâ€"aircraft searchlight made in Canada, and the United States‘ Army‘s famous little "recce" car, more sommonly known as the "jeep" or "blitzâ€"buggy." Before the tour is over the 66 officers and men on the train, commanded by Lieut.â€"Col. J. E. McKenna of Montreal will have visited more than 250 cenâ€" tres between the Maritimes and British Columbia. In many of the towns al=â€" ready visited whole schools have turnâ€" ed out en masse to see the demonstraâ€" tion. Of particular interest to many Canâ€" adians who have relatives in the Army is the prisoner of war box. It is a sample, and shows just the food and comforts that every Canadian who is taken prisoner gets. Even the electric eye, which automaâ€" tically counts every visitor to the train, is a noint of interest. "You can‘t fool me, you do the counting yourself," one spectator said to a soldier standing near the gadget. But the customer was wrong.
