Outstanding Speakers at Fourth Victory Loan Rally Sunday Evening Mr. Ennis needs no introduc‘iion, but a brief reference to the other speakâ€" ers is timely. Col. Bliss is a veteran of the last war ‘who won rapid promoâ€" tion and honours in the field. He enâ€" listed as a private in 1914 and went through ‘the ranks to sergeant and was commissioned Heutenantâ€" in ~1916. He won the D.S.0. at Amiens in the rank of captain. He returned to Canada alter the war with the rank of major. In the present war, Col. Bliss enlisted in 1940 and was put in charge of old Second Company, Veteran Guards of Canada. He served with the unit and after some time he was made Camp Commandant with the rank of Lieutâ€" Colonel and later was promoted to full Colonel. Timmins Boy Scouts started the colâ€" lection of waste fats on Saturday, and the lads are to be complimented on the, fine work done. Some 1700 pounds of waste fats were collected on Saturday, and the work was done in short order. There were a few missed, but remarkâ€" ably few at that, and the boys say that it won‘t happen again, as they are out to get every last pound of waste fats so essential to the making of munitions. There were between 200 and 300 Boy Scouts at the work on Saturday, and they covered the town with unusual thoroughness in two and a half to three hours. The Boy Sco did the work practically "on their ,." the older boys organizing and directing the effort as well as assisting in the actual work of collection. | Announcement is made this week of the notable rally to usher in the Fourth Victory Loan camp. This grand rally is to be held in the Palace theatre on Bunday evening, April 25th, at 8.30 p.m., after the church services. It promises to be an event of outstanding interest. The Features Committee, under the chairmanship of Karl Eyre, has drawr up a most attractive programme. The main speaker for the evening will be Col R. Hamilton Bliss, DS.O0., Comâ€" mandant of Monteith Camp No. 23. The Colonel is a forceful speaker who makes popular appeal to everyone. His Victory Loan message will be of imâ€" portance to everyone in the Porcupine Another speaker will be Sergt. C. E. Jackson, Whose story will prove of thrilling interest. Mr. R. J. Ennis, the popular chairman of the Cochrane Unit Fourth Victory Loan, will deliver a sahort address, but those who know him always enjoy his addresses because they are so genial as well as to the point. Sergt C. E. Jackson enlisted the day war broke out. After basic training he accompanied the regiment to Iceâ€" land. Then in England he did coastal defence work and had many startling experiences during air raids. On the A surprise visiting military concer‘ party will be another big feature of the rally. The parade of this party to the theatre will lend a definite military aspect to the proceedings while the numbers they will present are sure to take the audience by storm. Community singing is to be still anâ€" other happy feature of the evening. ‘The next collection will be on Saturâ€" day, May 1st, and the Scouts hope then to exceed their gogd work on Saturday last. If collections keep up, they will be made regularly every three weeks. If they increass, the collections may be made more frequently. In brief, the frequency of collections will be deterâ€" mined by the quantity of fats collected. The Boy Scouts have undertaken the collection of fats from all houses.

Jackson was badly wounded, and after lying on the beach for a couple of houurs giving himself first aid, he eventually got into the ‘water and with the aid of a life preserver reached a boat from which he viewed the Dieppe action both on the land, sea and air. His story will undoubtedly by of special interest, and its recital provide unanswerable reaâ€" sons for buying Victory Bonds. Weekly Report of Clinic Held Friday Afternoons It may te well to repeat here part of the circular in the matter recently by the Timmins Boy Scouts:â€" Things To Do 1. Save all your waste cooking fats. Save pan drippings from roast ham, beef, lamb and poultry. Save broiler drippings from steaks, chops, veal and bacon. Save deep fats, whether lard or vegetable shortening, from dried potatoes, fish, doughnuts, etc. had the fats all ready for the boys to call. At some places as much as eight to ten pounds was the contribution, but the average was less, so it will be seen that the lads had to do a lot of travelâ€" ling to gather 17C0O lbs. in less than three hours. The boys, however, are ready to make a regular business of the collection of fats. The continued coâ€"operation of the public will assure complete success.

Ehe Porcupine Adpance EVERY THURsDAY Heart Stirring Message Given to People by Squadron Leaâ€" der Parks. Graphic Description of What the R. C. A. F. and Other Branches of Service are Doing Overseas. .. Squadron Leader Parks had a very busy time while in Timmins. In adâ€" dition to the addresses â€" an arduous day‘s work in itself â€" he had innumerâ€" able friends to call upon and to greet. It was; remarkable the way he was able to carry out this part of the visit. As Rev. J. D. Parks he was the minister at Timmins United Church for many years in earlier days and was unusually popular and esteemed. His host of friends were delighted to greet him aâ€" gain and made no effort to conceal the fact. Equadron Leader Parks, who with Squadron Leader Vlastos, was sent to air camps in Canada and overseas, to observe and report, is now on a four acro:s;; Canada to deliver his message to the people. He described in detail the life of the men in the R.C.AF., exâ€" plained how wonderfully well they are doing their work, and urged the people to support them to the fullest now ana after the war. â€"‘"Make this country a land worthy of such heroes," was one of his messages. "We can depend on the men overseas! Can they depend on us?" This was heart of the message delivered at Tifmâ€" mins last week by Squadron Leader J. D. Parks, R. C. A. F. He spoke at a joint meeting of the service clubs sponâ€" sored by the Kiwanis, at the Timmins High and Vocational School, and at a public meeting Friday evening in the New Empire theatre. While his acâ€" ‘dresses at each place were different, the central thoughts in each followed the same lines and the lesson in each might be summed up in Squadron Leader Parks‘ own words â€" "We can depend He arrived here on Friday morning, accompanied by Squadron Leader T. G Holley, Officer Commanding No. 7 Reâ€" cruiting Centre, North Bay. At the Empire hotel there was a lunâ€" cheon attended by all the service clubs of the Porcupine and sponsored by the Timmins Kiwanis, with President Bill Burnes of Timmins Kiwanis in the chair. Among those at the head tabpie were Squadron Leader Parks; President Burnes of Timmins Kiwanis; Squadron Leador Holley:; President Stan Gardâ€" iner of South Porcupine Kiwanis; Presâ€" ident Gil Chenier of Timmins Lions; C.

Can they depend on us?" He made it plain that those at home must do their part, not only during the days of war, but in the times when peace comes. This should be a country fitting to the heroic and unselfish men now serving so nobly overseas, he said. We Can Depend on Them! Can They Depend on Us? Asks Squadron Leader The Canadian Armed Forces set an example for "conservation. conscious‘" housewives these days. They are makingâ€"over uniforms, as the man in the picture above. Repairing boots. fixing firearms and other pieces of army equipment is all part of a. day‘s work in the army. The war duraâ€" tion drive for fats and bones is also given help by army camps throughout the country. The waste fats and bones, dry paper. and all other waste having salvage value is channclled to seperate receptacles for pickâ€"up by a salvage truck. CONSERV ATION CONSCIOUS TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, APRIL 22ND, 1943 Donations to the â€" Community Fag : EFKund Last Month | | y 1 4 | Below will be found a list of donaâ€" tions last month â€"to the Community Fag Fund.‘° T; W. Tod, manager of the Timmins Branch of the Bank of Montreal, is the chairman of the comâ€" mittee, and H. Moore, Box 250, Timâ€" mins, the secretary. Elsewhere in this isisue will be found extracts from letters and cards acknowledging receipt of cigarettes overseas, In the last two | ; weeks 127 such letters and cards were . received by the committee from men in service overseas. These letters and t | cards make it plain how much the men overseas appreciate these cigarettes. Some of the letters suggest that they would feel badly indeed without them. To keep the cigarettes going overseas it will be necessary to keep up the doâ€" nations. Anyone wishing to keep the cigarettes rolling across the sea should send the donation, large or small, to the Secretary, H. Moore, Box 250, Timâ€" mins, or to any member of the comâ€" mittee. It is well to remember that the Community Fag Fund does away with the duplication that formerly took place and the missing of others that was inevitable. About the only way to asssure regular supply of cigarettes to all the soldiers from here now overseas is to support the Community Fag Fund. Contributions to Fund Still Needed to Keep Fags Goâ€" ing to the Lads Overseas.

Sebastien was in the big raid last week â€" when over 600 British bombers blasted the armament centres of Mannheim and Pilsen. In the special despatches from London, England, Sergt. Sebastien was quoted as; saying regarding the blasting of the Skoda works at Pilsén: "We bombed from pretty low and could see smoke rising from the fires up to 5,000 . feet," Mr. and Mrs. A. Sebastien, 46 Sixth avenue, Timmins, received word toâ€"day that their son, Camille, is reported mising after air operations over Gerâ€" many. He has been in the R.C.A.F. since early in the war and has been overseas for some time. He has taken his part in air operations with sucn efféctiveness that his capabilities and resourcefulness suggest that there is every reasonable hope that he has been able to make a safe landing. First Victim of > Drowning at Sandy Falls on Saturday The fashion toâ€"day is to blame everyâ€" thing on the war. ~There were +wo fire calls in Timmins in the past week that have to be blamed on the hens or the eggs or something.. One call was due *to a fire in a homeâ€"made brooder. The other resulted from the smoke of an incubator. The homeâ€"made brooder at the home of Mr. E. Orr, 54 Wilson ave. It was in a hen house behind the house and in some way or another the imâ€" provised ‘brooder took fire and $200.00 damage was done before the fiames were extinguished. Edward Brisbois, Aged 15 years, Meets Death by Drowning. The other similar call was to the resiâ€" dence of Mrs: T. Dodds, 8 Bannerman avenue yesterday afternoon. The inâ€" cubator was operated with a coal oil lamp. The lamp started smoking and water thrown on the incubator as a safety measursa made it appear advisâ€" able to call the fire halll There was no damage, except, perhaps to the conâ€" tents of the incubator. Funeral services were conducted: at St. Anthony‘s Cathedral on Wedvriesâ€" day, at 10 a.m., for the late Edward Brisbois, aged 15 years, who met death by drowning at Sandy Falls on Saturâ€" day, April 17th. The boy, with two other lads, Messrs. Tony Harte, and Joe Lamothe, were fishing in an old canoe, when the boat tipped over. Interment was held at the Roman Catholic ‘cemetery, following the runâ€" On Sunday, the father of the boy, Mr. John B. Brisbois, with two other friends, searched for the body which was recovered by Mr. Eugene Dupras, about 5.30 p.m. The death was proâ€" nounced accidental. No inquest was held. The boy was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Brisbhois; 12 Balsam north. His family before moving to Timmins were once residents of North Bay. Synthetic Hens Responsible for Two Fire Calls Here On Tuesday a grass fire at 60 Banâ€" nerman did $10 damage to the garage before it was subdued. Monday there were two callsâ€"one to Albert‘s bakery when heat from the oven charred nearby woodwork and the other to 51 Fourth where the motor on a washing machine burned out. The damage was slight at the bakery and protection against .any chance of any similar accident has been made. In the case of the washing machine fire the only damage was to the motor. The only other call was on Buraay morning to 287 Balsam street for a chimney and pipes fire. Walker‘s Funeral Service directed the funeral.

Council Promises Support and Coâ€"operation to Welfare Federation. 1,100 Vacant Lots Reported. Council Ui‘géd to Ask Return to Ukrainians of Property Seized by Crown There was a lengthy meeting o‘ counâ€" cil on Monday with the Mayor in the chair and all the councilloys present. After a number of byâ€"laws regarding early closing of stores had been given the required readings, and four tenders for fuel wood had been tabled, Mr. TTed Kitcher and A. Tomlinson of the Timâ€" mins Welfare Federation woere heard. Mr. Kitcher pointed out that the main purpose of the Federation had been to eliminate tag days and similar events, there were bingos; and other events that interfered with the success of the Feaâ€" eration plan. Street carnivals also could be placed in the same class. The Federation event could ‘be a big sucâ€" cess, Mr. Kitcher said, if there were coâ€"operation from the council in such matters. During the Federation‘s Comâ€" munity Week Mr. Kitcher thought the council could arrange fpr the withâ€" drawal of other events. Mr. Tomlinson stress>d the competition of carnivals particularly as interfering with the success of the Community Week pian. Mayor Brunette said that the council had inaugurated the Welfare Pederaâ€" tion plan, "and we‘ll see it through" he added. Councillor Spooner and Clerk Shaw were authorized to notify the difâ€" ferent organizations in town that the council did not approve of any interferâ€" ence with the Comnunity Week plan. J. W. Lieberman, said he was appearâ€" ing as the president of the Timmwas Civil Liberties League, to ask tne council to send resolution to Ottawa asking the government to restore the property taken from the Ukrainian Farmerâ€"Labour group. This Ukrainian grovp declared illegal in 1940, but the parliamentary group investigating the matter had recommended the liftâ€" ing of the ban. Councillor Spooner asked why the property had been seized in the first To this Mr. Lieberman answered that there did not seem to be any real reaâ€" son, unles it was some misunderstandâ€" ingz. Mr. Lieberman claimed that the Ukrainian Farmerâ€"Labour group was simply a cultural society interested in music, art, etc. Councillor Spooner pointed out that Mr. Lietkerman had not given the inâ€" formation asked, but had simply talkâ€" ed around the question. Prof. Kirkâ€" connell, the wellâ€"known university auâ€" thority, had a different idea of the purpose of the particular group reâ€" ferred to, said Councillor Spooner. Councillor Glad:tone gave as his opâ€" he might be able to do this. ‘There is reason to believe however, that no matâ€" ter what success he may have with the leaders, he will not be able to enlist the coâ€"operation of the Balkan peoples, Council decided to defer action on | the resolution to a meeting toâ€"day (‘Thursday) after 3 o‘clock. Other \times next week were suggested but : Councilior Spooner said he would be | too busy at Victory Loan work to give the time then. When Councillor Spoonâ€" er retorted that he had inconvenienced himself in this same matter of meetings to accommodate Councillor Gladstone and he thought that especially on acâ€" count of the Victory Loan, Councillor Gladstone should be willing in this casoe to accommodate him. The Lunenburg, Nova Scotia schooner, Flora Albert, has been sunk in a colâ€" lision and 15 of her crew of 22 are missâ€" ing. The Flora Albert was cut in two by‘a merchant ship in the darkness of a recent night. The several halves of the schooner sank very quickly and the men who were asigep at the time hnad little chance of escape. Madame Chiang Kai Shek, wife of the Chinese leader, speaking at Néw York yesterday, said that the execuâ€" tion of the American fliers who raided Tokio, came as no surprise to the Chiâ€" ness who had already innumerable eviâ€" dences of Japanese contempt for interâ€" national law as well as natural cruelty and callousness, Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the US. War Production Board, has anâ€" nounced that the United States this month will produce close to 7,000 planes and next month even more, with furâ€" ther increase to come. R.A.F. bombers inflicted heavy casuâ€" alties on Japanese troops in the Mayu Ten Japanese bases were attacked yesterday by Allied bombers and fightâ€" ers, according to reports from Allied Headquarters in Australia. Despatches from London toâ€"day say that enemy bombers again struck at Britain last night, loosing high exploâ€" sives and incendiary bombs on a northâ€" west town. One bomb hit tenament building and resulted in a number of deaths. The invaders were met with a heavy. barrage and were eventually driven off. inion that Prof. Kirkconnell did not know what he was talking about. Counâ€" cillor Gladstone said the Ukranians were loyal to Canada and this was proâ€" ven by the number who had enlisted in the armed forces. Councillor <~Eyre thought Council should confine itself to the local situâ€" ation. If the local Ukrainians deserved their property returned, then that was a matter in which the Counci1 courd properly make representations. A motion was passed authorizing unâ€" derwriters‘ inspectors to call out the fire department without first obtainâ€" ing the permission of the mayor or council, as now required. The idea was that if the inspectors had this right there would be no suspicion that they knew of the inspector‘s visit and : were just following their usual routine. "We are always ready", said Fire Chief Borland, "and we don‘t want to know whether the inspector is in town or not. All we want to do is to answer any call with the greatest promptne:s and efficiency." The resolution was If Council decides that Mr. Licber«â€" man‘s presence is he will be called to the council meeting when the resolution is taken up. Council endorsed the resolution from Cochrane council for the need for betâ€" ter equipment and service on the T. N. O. line between Porquis and Coâ€" chrane. Permission was granted for the big Victory Loan parade. Referring to the recent plan to give a grant to the Horticultural Society for encouraging Victory gardens, Councilâ€" lor Epooner said it had been found that there were 1100 vacant lots in town suitable for gardening. People owning such lots and ready to let them be used for Victory gardens, should leave their names and particulars at the town hall, A petition for the opening of Matâ€" tagami Boulevard was referred to the public works committee for report.
