It is realized that it is a great disapnpointment to these men who fail, but the fact that they have offered their services will be recorded with appreciation.

He has made his report to the Attorneyâ€"General, but the latter has not vet forwarded a report of the enquiry to the North Bay city council. North Bay city council asked the Atâ€" torneyâ€"Geoneral to investigate the case of the North Bay police officer who was informed of the nresence in the city of an escaped German prisoner, the said officer failing to take the prompt and efâ€" fective acticon that the matter required. North Bay police commission accepted the police offcer‘s story that he had taken no action at the time because the call in the matter was anonymous, This was strenuously denied by the young lady who gave the information. The attitude of the police commission was particularly resented by the people of North Bay, and this led the council to ask the Attorneyâ€"General for an inâ€" vestigation., It is understood that this investigation was widened to include a general enauiry into the efficiency of the North Bayv police.

Will Broadcast Forestry Feature on Monday, Aug. 3rd On Monday of this week the Canadâ€" ian Broadcasting Corporation presented a forestry feature over the national netâ€" work, entitled "Fire on th: Home Front." The broadcast was in the form of a dramatized story of a forest fire started through the carelessness of campers on a picnic who neglected to completely extinguish their camp fire. The fire gets out of control and sweeps the full length of a timbered valley in which are scattered settlers‘ clearings and logging operations. The consequent loss in money and effort and human life shows how greatly carefulness is needed to conserve the forests of this country. On Monday, Aug. 3rd, there is to be another of these forestry feature broadcasts over the national network, from 10.15 to 10.46 pm. It will take the form of an interview with a forest ranger, in which he will relate some of his experiences in fighting fires and makes plain the need for all to do evâ€" erything possible to avoid the danger of forest fires. At the present time forest conservation is of even greater importâ€" ance than in peacetime. . Any sort of waste of resources or wealth or human life is particularly to be avoided in tryâ€" ing times like these. It is a patriotic duty for all to do all they can to avoid any needless waste at this time. The loss of wealth and of human life through forest fires is an unnecessary waste. It can be avoided if everybody earnestly work to that end. It is to be hoped that all in any way concerned will listen to the broadcast on Monday evening from 10.15 to 10.45, so that so far as possible all loss of wealth and of human life may be avoided in the matâ€" ter of forest fires.

Man Found Almost Buried in Coal in Engine Tender (From North Bay Nugget) A transient who was almost buried in coal . and drawn into the "worm" of a Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway stoker today owes His life to the alertness of Fireman A. E. Croghan, of North Bay. The man, whose name was not disclosed by railway authorities was discovered just in time. Published in Timmins, Ont.., Canade The nearâ€"accident occurred Saturday night when T. and N. O. train No. 46 stopped at Temagami. When Fireman Croghan climbed up to the tender to dig coal, he discovered the transient alâ€" most comunletely buried in coal. If it had not been for the alertness of the fireman, the man would have been fulâ€" ly buried when coal was taken on and might have been drawn into the worm of the stoker. The transient was removed from the tender and was then given first aid. He was slightly injured and suffered no serious after effects.

This year‘s event promises to surpass all former occasions. It is the ninth an~ nual MciIntyre Pield Day and will be held in the Mentyre Park on Monday, Aug. 3rd, Civic holiday in both Tisdale township and the town of Timmins, In recent vears it has ben the custom In recent yvears it has ben the custom for the Townshin of Tisdale and the Town of Timmins to observe the same Civic holiday, â€"â€" the first Monday in August, â€"â€" and for both municipalities to look to the McIntyre Field Day as the big event for the day. As noted in The Advance last week, while theMcâ€" Intyre Fiecld Day is designed for the special entertainment and pleasure of employees of the McIntyre Mines and friends, it is not restricted ever to that wide circle, but all good folks in the district are invited and welcomed to enjoy the occasion. MclIntyre employâ€" ees and their families are admitted to the event free, while the nominal fee of fifty cents will admit any others. As will be noted by the programme pubâ€" lished herewith, those attending get the most unusual value for their money. There are half a dozen items on the programme, any one of which alone would be well worth the admission fee of fifty cents. Probably, the best way to show the big day in the McIntyre Field Day entertainment, the best way is to publish the programme as it has been announced. Here it is:â€" 9.30 a.m. â€" Kiddies‘ foot races. 10.30 a.m. â€" Tugâ€"ofâ€"War. 11.00 a.m. â€" Bicycle races. 11.30 a.m. â€" Grandstand performanâ€" ces â€" Acrobatic displays, slack wire acts, dancers, etc. 12 noon to 1p.m. â€" Band concert.

It alone is worth the price of admission, just to wander around in the nark and enjyoy the scenery and the wellâ€"kept grounds, to say nothing of the flowers that may be seen in the Park in abundance. There are special facilities at the Park for picnics and anyone who fails to enjoy the ninth annual McIntyre Field Day will be difficult, indeed, to please. be remembered as the man whs« the trains run on schedule, and as the man who made the Duce schedule, says the Northern New our part, we would forget al schedule, says the Northern News.
