Whether vyour dining problem inâ€" l volves a separate small room or an alcove or whether it is a matter of inâ€" corporating dining facilities in the livâ€" ‘ ing room proner, the problems cf takie and chairs is the first one to solve. If | the room to furnish is a dinette or an | alcove, then a small table that can open up to larger size is the need . ' that means either a drawâ€"top or a dropâ€"leaf. And the chairs in this inâ€" stance should preferably be the kind that can be set: together to make: a bench along the wall . . . they seem to * Dining on a dime?

Alâ€" ready hugs palatial houses are a drug en the market and <~mansionâ€"dwellers Are wishing they could get out from under their responsibilitiés and into Small ceasyâ€"toâ€"operate homes. C In Scale So the trend toward small furniture for dining continues and will become more imvnortant during coming months and vears, This is one place where manufacturers were not caught short in the defense housing emergency when the spotlight focussed ngtional attenâ€" tion on the need for small scale furniâ€" ture. They‘ve been making small scale dining furniture for a long time and so the consumer will find a very satisâ€" factory assortmentâ€"most of it highly MHvable and practical. Tables, chairs, chests and cupboards in size for dinâ€" ettes and alcoves are offered in a wide range of stylesâ€"leaving no excuse at all for eating on a card table. (No disâ€" respect for card tables is intended here â€"they‘re fine for cards but not for dining.) For the small dinette, chairs with seats and backs of a bright printed cotton are doubly practical for they can be set together as shown here to make a wall bench when not all of them are needed at the table., INFORMAL DINING NEED NOT BE SLIPâ€".SHOD Simple Furnishings in Small Quarters Can Still Spell Cheer and Charm in the Routine of Dining PLEAsSANT HoOMES L*e ' * This small dinette has slip covered chair sea.t an | used for the windows. s ‘to match the chintz take up less space than separate dinâ€" ing chairs and theyâ€" make.a useful set used ‘this way between meals.

This committee will have power to add to its members, and its ranks will include citizens who are not members of the Canadian Legion, it was explained last week. push back against the wall between meals. These look charming and forthright, but they aren‘t as comfortâ€" able as chairs. The Big Table If the table is to be used in the living room, it can be an openâ€"out type as mentioned aboveâ€"and if floor space is limited, this is the best idea. But in many living rooms a big table is wonderfully pleasant and conveniâ€" ent . .. a trestle table or the sort we used to call library table, or even a fullâ€"sized dining table can be worked nicely into the layout of a living room. After all many of the loveliest rooms ever seen have chairs focussed around big tables. Place this table against a book wall, in front of a big window or right out in the centre of the room. Two upholstered chairs at each end, if it‘s souare or oblong, are comfortable and goodâ€"looking between meals for reading or conversation . . . the side chairs can be kept drawn up to the table all the time or used elsewhere between meals. Or here too benches along the sides can be used in place of ~sevarate If the. table is round or oval, smallâ€"scale upholstered chairs are very charming kept pulled up to it all the time. This sort of table is useful not only for dining but for reading, games or sewing. This is the place where being fastiâ€" dious will establish an important stanâ€" dard for family manners and distincâ€" tion. This is the place to strike the keynote of vour household, to translate your wish for cheer and charm into tangibles that will always to your famâ€" lly be symbols of you yourself. Heading the committee as pro tem convener is Comrade J. R. Laidlaw, president of the Legion Post, and asâ€" sociated with him are Comrade C. M. Hale, S. B. Ross and W. F. Lickley. No matter how simple and practical you must be in making plans for dinâ€" ing in small quarters, don‘t ever let this family gathering become a sloppy slipâ€" shod affair . . . no matter how informâ€" al it may be, keep it selfâ€"respecting and orderly and attractively casual.

When I buy a new one, I always give her the old one." While other customers in the store gasped, he added: "She uses them to clean her If you are up against a relentless budget, that doesn‘t allow leeway for deciding between this and that, don‘t despair. A homeâ€"made dinette table ocf ~plyboard set on sawâ€"horse type trestles can have a lot of simple forthâ€" right charm. Or else make a plyboard table inâ€"theâ€"wall attached by hinges so that it can draw up into a wall cabinet or else dropped down against the wall when not in use; this kind of course requires braces below that swing out from the wall or else picturesque rope supports from above. The Lunch Counter Another excellent type of makeâ€"shift table for the informal rooms is a counâ€" ter with stools, like the kind everyâ€" body likes to dangle over at the roadâ€" sideâ€"diner. This is awfully practical in the informal house where there‘s no maid but a gay lot of work "doing for" a busy active family. * \Runeral at Fort COulOnge the funeral of the late Mare Porter:â€" "Mare Porter who died suddenly was widely mourned by friends and relaâ€" tives at the funeral on Saturday.

At a special meeting of the town council ten years ago the rates of taxaâ€" tion for 1932 were considered and practically agreed upon. The rates were to come before the regular meetâ€" ing of the town council the following Monday for formal adoption, but it was not likely that there would be any changes in the schedule of tax rates as approved at the special session of the council. Particulars of the rates as decided for 1942 might be summarized as follows:â€"Total rate for public school supporters, 60.74 milis. Total rate for separate school supporters, 73.70 mill. This was a slight incr ase over the rates of 1981. A suggestion in The Advance ten years ago may well be noted at this time: "In the general interests a plea is made at the present time for all to coâ€"operate to protect the roads of the district. There should be no heavilyâ€" loaded trucks at this time. The roads are not in the best of condition on account of the weather and serious inâ€" jury may result from heavy loads passâ€" ing over the roads. In this matter the first appeal is made to the good judgâ€" ment and good citizenship of all. Truck drivers especially should avoid heavy loads that will cut up and damage the roads at this time. The same request, of course, extends to the drivers of wagons and other vehicles. If all coâ€" operate the result will be the preserâ€" vation of the roadsâ€"an important matâ€" ter to most people these days." i the most popular and esteemed residâ€" ents of the district.

The Timmins reâ€" presentatives at this conference were Jack Lake and Walter Cowan, and they reported having an exceptionally fine time among their brother Scouts from other towns of this district.

Mr, Jones gave an unusually interesting and informative address on the orâ€" ganization as a whole, touching speâ€" clally on the good work‘ it was doing in helping mould the characters of the boys along right lines and developing the best that was in them. He showed the type of fine citizenship the organâ€" ization sought to foster and extend, and he quoted instances from many communities to show that the aims and purposes of the Boy Scout movement were being carried out with success and to the advantage of the community and the country at large. To bring out the best that was in the boys and to assist them to be the best kind of menâ€"was the basic hope of the Boy Scout plans. onto. At the assizes at Cochrane ten years ago before justice and jury, Mike Skaâ€" koon was found guilty of the murder cif Mrs. Leake, formerly Bernice Laâ€" celle, of near Sudbury, on May 20th, 1941, at Timmins. Skakoon was sentâ€" enced to be hanged on June 10th, 1932. He took the sentence with apparent indifference. Mrs. Leake died at Timâ€" mins shortly after midnight on May 20th, 1931. She had lived with Skaâ€" koon as his common law wife but the previous Christmas she had him chargâ€" ed with assault and he left town going to Rouyn where he was said to have lived with another woman. He had a lawful wife elsewhere in the country and she learned of his presence in Rouyn and went there with her childâ€" ren. Skakoon brought her and the youngsters in to Timmins leaving them at Mrs. Leake‘s while he returned to Rouyn. A few days later he came back to Timmins and it was alleged that he and Mrs. Leake quarrelled over the keeping of his wife and children. According to the story told by his broâ€" ther, Nick, Mike struck Mrs. Skakoon with a flatiron and this failing to kill her he used a knife to finish ‘her. His brother, Nick, went for the police when the real trouble began and when the police arrived at the house on Maple street north, they found Mrs. Leake dead and Skakoon suffering from a selfâ€"inflicted knife wound in the chest. This injury to Skakoon was not seriâ€" ous. He was taken to the hospital where he made speedy recovery. While at‘ the hospital he made a voluntary statement to Chief H.
