In the meantime The Advance thinks it is timely to repeat part of the câ€"â€" cular recently issued by the Timming Boy Scouts and distributed to every home in town. Here is part of wna; that circular says:â€" There is reference in the Boy Scouts columns in this issue of â€"The Advance to the collectionsy of waste fats being made by the boys. This reference gives several suggestions for coâ€"operation beâ€" tween the Boy Scouts and the people in this matter of collecting waste fats. The Scouts express their pleasure ana appreciation at the kindly coâ€"operation given them in the past.: But read the Boy Scout column elsewhéere in this issue and see for yourself. Scouts and Cubs of Timmins are tryâ€" ing to do their bit for their country, and appeal to you for your earnest supâ€" port. Please, have some fats ready tor them when they call on Saturday of this week, May 1st. If every person in Timmins saved two ounces of waste fat each week, weekly collections would be well over 3,000 pounds. This does not appear to be an unreasonable amount,. and should be the goal for all to seek to reach. Householders are urged â€"to put out whatever waste fats they may have so that the Scouts may pick it up. inâ€" dividually the amount may be small, but the total that may be thus saved by all is an impressive one. Let all remember .that if every person in canâ€" ada saved as little as two ounces of waste fat in a week it would be an adâ€" equate answer to this national war etâ€" fort. Saving waste fats is one of the simplestâ€"war aids asked by theâ€"country and is one of the most important ones on the home front. Two weeks ago the Scouts collectedâ€" 1700 pounds of this valuable material.; This 1700 pounds of waste fats will yield 170 pounds of glycerine. 170 | pounds of glycerine will make 1326 pounds of high explosives or 1020 ; pounds of cordite.

Crowd Delighted With Lions Club Midnight Frolic The only other fire call of the week was on Friday evening to 204 Maple street south, where stovepipes and chimney were on fire. No damage. On Saturday afternoon at 159 Avenue Road children using a lighted candle in the atticâ€"set fire to the ceiling. The owner of the house used hig garden hose effec:ively on the blaze, while in the meantime a call was given to the firemen. The firemen arrived in snort order but the use of the garden hose had already put out the fire but not before abou?; $50.00 damage had been caused. The first of these grass fires was in the afternoon of Monday on Pine stree; north. Children playing in the brusn are said to have set fire to the Brass. The second was at 8.10 p.m. Monddy the corner of Railway street and}Ogâ€" den avenue. Boys playing on the sat are blamed ~with setting fire to the grass. The third of these calls was on Tuesday at 640 p.m. to the rear of 22 Anne avenue where boys are allegec to set fire to the grass. The fourth was at 2.40 p.m. yesterday at the end of Maple street south. Here boys aâ€" gain are believed to have set fire to the grass. In this case the fire got into a pile of T. N. O. ties, doing some damage. The last of the five grass fires (and it is sincerely to be noped it is the last) was this morning shortly after eleven o‘clock at the tracks at the end of Cedar street. The firemen handled most of these fires by tne efflcient use of the stirrup pump. In all these grass) fires the damage was inconsiderable but it is the damage that has to be considered. One of these grass fires could easily be responsible for a very serious fire with possible loss of property and lives. A rubbish fire at 19 Cody avenue was fanned by the wind Sunday morning and resulted in a call for the firemen. No damage was done. On Sunday a defective chimney at 83 Rea north caused damage of $10.00 before the fire was extinguished. Mosit of the work of the firemen this week was in the handling of grass fires. There were five of them in three days, some of them a serious menace to propâ€" erty in the vicinity. In some cages boys were, blamed for starting them, but whoever started them should learn that 4t is ~»seriousâ€"buasiness>~~ Inâ€"â€"someâ€"ofâ€"the cases the police were called in and are investigating with the purpose of aâ€" voiding similar danger in the future.
