chairman of the waterworks committte had given good service last year. Councillor Spooner after congratulatâ€" ing the Kiwanis on the double birthday occasion, referred to some of the good community works of the Kiwanis. He particularly complimented the Timmins Club on its sponsorship of the local Air Cadets. "Keep up the good work," he concluded. "I felt more or less like a guineaâ€"pig" she added, "not being sure of what the result would be." She added that she was satisfied if her work had been of service to the town and people, She congratulated the Kiwanis Club on the good work being done by them «~and wished them all success. Kiwanian Arch Gillies expressed his pleasure at introducing Councillor J. W. Snooner, who as councillor and Kiwanian Geo. S. Drew in intreducâ€" ing Councillor Ellen Terry, referred to the fact that she was the first lady to serve as councillior in any of the larger towns of the North and her work had been so successful and valuable that Kirkland Lake and other centres had been following the example set here by electing women to municipal service. Councillor Ellen Terry, in replying, remarked that her election both for herself and the ratepavers had been much in the nature of an experiment. In a brief but effective address, Mayor Brunetie emphasized the fact that 1943 must be a special year of economy because of war conditions, and he asked the Kiwanis, as) leaders in the community, to assist in making the year one of economy in municipal matâ€" ters. Kiwanian K. A. Evre was called upon to introduce Mayor J. Emile Brunette. "I‘m not speaking now as a councillor but as a Kiwanian," he Said,, as he complimented the mayor on his reâ€"elecâ€" tion and the election of the council. "When they praise you for the good work done," Karl told the mayor, ‘reâ€" member that it‘s the good council that‘s really responsible." He added in more serious vein that mayor and council could aiways denvend on full coâ€"operaâ€" tion from the members of the Kiwanis Club in every worthy cause. Kiwanian F. Woodbury led the comâ€" munity singing which was a pleasant feature of the evening. Another feature was a choral selection by a group of charter members of the Timmins Club â€"Kiwanian E. H. King, W. Rinn, L. Halperin, Dr. S. L. Honey, H. G. Laidâ€" law and Councillor K. A. Eyre. They sang "The Old Gray Mare" with such enthusiasm and put such a kick into it that everybody got a kick out of it. The number was enthusiastically encored. The secretary, W. H. Wilson,â€" was called upon to present the mayor and councillors and other guests for the evening, after which a Kiwanian memâ€" ber at each table introduced the others at that table. Thoss at the head table were:â€"iPresident, W. H. Burnes and Mrs. Burnes; His Worship the Mayor and Mrs. Brunette; Councillor J. W. Spooner and Mrs. Spooner; Councillor Elien Terry; Councillor K. A.

Timmins Kiwank| Club on Monday evening at the Empire hotel observed the 28th anniversary of the founding of the Kiwanis International and also the 19th anniversary of the Club‘s own Charter Night. The observance of these double anniversaries was marked in very pleasing way. It was a "Ladies{ Night," the club members bringing their wives and friends and the mayor and council for this year being special guests for the occasion. The full course dinner provided by the Empire hotel was a pleasing one while the service for this; part of the evening was the best, Timmins Club Observes 28th Anniversary of the _ Founding of the Kiwanis Also the 19th Anniversary of Timmins Kiwanis Charter Night.

Among the entriés made _ last week were several ladies. This is the first time that the ladies have taken part in a fire hall crib tournament, and everybody will be pleased if one or more of these ladies are among the winners. The firemen are always ready and anxious to do anything for any worthy cause, and so when someone suggested a crib tournament, it was as good as done, and is already an assured sucâ€" cess. Any crib players, or those who have the idea they are crib players, who have not yet entered this tournament should get in the fun at once. A call at the fire hall, or phone 307, will bring tull particulars. There are now over a hundred entries in the cribbage tournament sponsored by the Timmins Fire Dept. to help the "Aid to Russia" Fund. At the fire hall this week it was admitted that the enâ€" tries had passed the hundred mark, but there was room for more entries. In view of the fact that the proceeds of the tournament are to go to the "Aid to Russia" Fund it is not likely that any entries will be refused. The firemen gure that it will not take long to 2lâ€" iminate a lot of the entries. In fact some are eliminated already. 49 Below at South End Toâ€"day Some Ladies Entered.

The Navy League letter touched on the work being done, esâ€" pecially for the men of the merchant miarine, who underwent the greatest hardships and dangers and often gave their lives to keep the lines open for supplies and munitions. The need for money â€"to look after the sailors was emphasized and the municipality urged to respond in the most generous way. Probably the chief item at the reguâ€" lar mseting of the Timmins town counâ€" cil on Monday was the endorsing of the resolution from the City of Moose Jaw in regard to income tax collection. This resolution while approving the present } plan of collection of income tax cach pay day at the source, referred to the burden of the provision for collecting this year the balance of income tax from the months before the new plan® was put into effect. This procedure meant that income taxpayers had to : bear an undesirable burden of debt.| When this portion of the tax came due, . the taxpayer might be in unfortunate position.: He might then be struggling . along under reduced salary, or he might" be out ‘of work altogeher, or I'ng case he died the back taxes were a | serious burden on his estate. Thei Moose Jaw resolution felt that this burâ€" cen should be removed, and urged the government to cancel the back income taxes to Sept. 1942. This would give the income taxpayer a clean slate and ; he could continue to pay his income‘ tax each pay day without the demoraliâ€" | zing burden of debt implied by the preâ€" ' sent plan. Timmins council agreed with the argument of the Moose Jaw council and endorsed the resolution. Present at the meeting on Monday were:â€"Mayor J. Emile Brunette andi Councillors J. W. Spooner, Ellen Terry, i W. McDermott, K. A. Eyre, Philip Pay, and E. W. Gladstone.

It was intended to give the Red Cross ‘and Bomb Victims‘ Fund the same priviâ€" leges as they had last year in conneâ€" tion with the arena. There were two letters from the Onâ€" tario Railway and Municipal Board in reference to the possible need for sitâ€" tings of the Board in Timmins in the near future. One referred specifically to the suggestion last year for the anâ€" nexation of a part of the township of Tisdale. ‘The other was in reference to the opening of certain lanes in town. The letters wished to know if the town planned to proceed with these matters. If they did the Board would plan on visiting Timmins‘ to give hearâ€" irngs in these matters. The reply of the council in the annexation matter was that the application for annexaâ€" tion did not originate with the town, and the applicants in the case were not pressing it, so the town was not proceeding in this matter. In the case of the opening cof the lanes, the town was also dropping the matter. paii * Mr. F. Gauthier was reâ€"appointed a member of the Tlmmins pliblic library board.> the City of Sarnia pointing out that there was a very decided scarcity of nousing accommodation in that city and that a number of men from Timâ€" mins and district had recently taken up positions in war industries in Sarnia and probably were planning to move their families there. The letter advised the town that in all cases it would be necessary for the men to arrange for housing accommodation before moving their families to Sarnia, The suggesâ€" tion was that no man should, move his family to Sarnia until he had first arâ€" ranged for the accommodation of the family when they arrived there. 6 start the new officers off service for 1943 a large atâ€" looked forward to on Monâ€" at the Legion Hall â€" 8 00 the vice with British Roval Air Froee All those who | n the branch e _ L. it for this cerâ€" Cagheriy; .4 ine MacElw | group by M be extended to | Church Re« ed forces and / gog articles the session, and Mr. Wm.

Firemen Injured When Truck Hit in Accident There have been only a couple of trains) in here on time since the middle of December. Yesterday the Northland was 5% hours late, while the Toronto train did not reach here until after Midnight â€" 8 hours late. It is worth noting, however, that this delay in serâ€" vice is not the fault of the T. N. 0. Railway. Last night the Toronto train had not left North Bay at the time it was supposed to reach here. The trouble seems to be below North Bay where ssevere winter weather has tied everything in knots. Trains Very Late These Days But Not Fault of T N. O. From the home fronts, the news is good and bad in spots. From Wilkesâ€" Barre Pennsylvania comes word that following President Roosevelt‘s order that the coal miners be back at work toâ€"day, the miners are said to have launched a "back to work" campaign and that meetings of strikers have been interrupted by general calls of "back to work". News from the fighting fronts toâ€"day is favourable. There is no particular news from North Africa, but in that case no news may be taken as good news. Prom the Russian fronts the news continues encouraging. A special Soviet communique last night said that Russian forces have gained seventeen more miles in the sweep towards Kharâ€" kov, the big steel city of the Ukraine. In the Northwestern Caucasus they are further hemming in huge German armies in the fierce drive being made on the German anchor base of Rostov. Tokio reports that a session of the Japanese parliament has been postâ€" poned to Jan. 27th. The reason given is the illness of Premier Tojo, but Allied sources suggest that the real reason iy serious political friction on the Jap,. political front. From the Hamilton sector of the home front comes the news that memâ€" bers of the CIL.O. steel workers‘ union in that city voted 95 per cent last night in favour of a strike unless granted imâ€" mediate union recognition. .
