""Victory Cupboard" of Wartime Prices Board Has Many Good Points Ehe fPorcrupine Aotpante Mrs. Irene Gougeon, of Consumers‘ Branch W. P. T. B. Shows Ladies How to Make Old Things Into New. Ideas for Mother‘s Old Coat, Dress or Housecoat. Mrs. W. L. Hogarth, chairman of the Women‘s Regional Committee of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, inâ€" troduced Mrs. Irene Gougeon, of Otâ€" tawa, who brought her "Victory Cupâ€" board", on behalf of the Consumetr‘s Branch of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board at Ottawa to show to the people of the district, on Friday evenâ€" ing at the Empire theatre. At the conclusion of the National Anthem, Mrs. Gougeon opened her adâ€" dress with a brief reference to the Consumer‘s Branch, and its underâ€" standing of the problems of the homeâ€" makers. She pointed out that after a complaint of the women of the country regarding the services of the dry cleaning being curtail, a survey was made of all dry cleaning plants, and it was made possible for all to get satâ€" isfactory service. The stage was set with a large cupâ€" board, in which hung old dresses that Mrs. Gougeon would show to the pubâ€" lic. There was a large table with varâ€" ious articles, and a trunk containing old used clothing. During her address, soft music was supplied in the backâ€" ground. From the trunk, Mrs. Gourgeon took out an old jacket, dress, and gown, and pointed out that although they were quite old, worn, and dirty, that she would wash them, turn them, and make â€" smaller articles for childrén. The material was quite ‘good in all these pieces, and it would be a pity to through such fine material in those clothes away. Several little girls, ranging from size five to about size fourteen, modelled some dainty styles, products of Mrs. Gourgeon, and of the women of this district. There was a little cotton dress made from mother‘s old housecoat, a sweet little skating outfit from sister‘s old coat, a dress that didn‘t fit, made into a smaller size and touched up a bit, and little housecoats for the tiny ones, from old dirndl dresses. Most of the clothing modelled were made by some of the women of the district, and were all indeed wellâ€"done. All were made from old clothing, washed, turned and sewed again, to make practically new outfits. With the prices in clothing as high as they are today, Mrs. Gougeon said that it was hardly worth while to buy a coat for the little girl, when there was such available material at home. wWith the men gone to war, Mrs. Gougeon showed that several smart tailored suits could be made from the old suits of men, the material and styles being quite good. She pointed out that to save rayon stockings from wearing so fast, that they should be washed after every wear, rinsed well, and dried completely before worn. After more showings of old clothing made into new, Mrs. Gougeon told the Women of the district that there were many possibilities in their cupboards that should not be overlooked since every inch of material meant more strength for the fighting forces. At the close of the address, a handâ€" book, ‘"The Miracle of Making Old Things New," was given free to every woman attending the lecture. It is full of patterns that even the inexperâ€" ienced dressmaker could follow. Veteran Trainmen Retiring from the T. N. 0. Service Conductors J. H. Jessup and $. Francis Retiring on Pension. Passengers on the T. N. O. will be missing two very competent and popâ€" ular conductors from now on. Conâ€" ductor J. H. Jessop (for a quarter of a century affectionately known as "Padâ€" dy"} is retiring from the service having reached the retiring age of 65 years. Mr. Jessop was engaged in construcâ€" tion work when the T. N. O. was being built and joined the service of the T. N. O. in June of 1905. He has held passenger runs for more than 20 years and has a record that pleases both the railway and the public. Recently he has been on the Northland, but prevâ€" jously was on Nos. 46 and 47. In earlier aays he was on the T. N. O. section of the Transcontinental wnen it was routed over the Ontario government railway. "Staff" Francis, who has been with the T. N. O. since October 1908, is understood to be retiring on account of increasing trouble with his evyesight. He has recently been in charge of Nos. 46 and 47. the Toronto trains, and has won the regard of all for his ability as a conductor and his consideration for the public. The travelling public will naturally regret the retirement of these good railway men, while wishing them the best of luck and contentment after so long good service to the m»wlic and the railway, Ontario Government Makes Important Announcement in This Matter Sale o.f Coloured G:asolme to Far.mers Fishermen, Guides | There were thirytâ€"six enlisted last week, June 17th to June 24th, inclusive, !ar, the North Bay Recruiting Centré, ‘R.CAF. These included seven from | Sudbury, six from Timmins, three from ! North ‘Bay, two from Smooth Rock | Falls, two from Powassan and one each from the following places â€" Schumaâ€" | cher, Montrock, Hearst, Kirkland Lake, Bourlamagque, Cochrane, Temiskaming, ‘ Kipling, Shequindah, Huntsville, Torâ€" | onto.

The problems relating to the sale of marked gasoline and refund of the Ontario Gasoline Tax thereon, have been under investigation by the Deâ€" partment of Highways of the Province of Ontario for some time. Numerous requests have been received for some change in the present system of reâ€" funding the Ontario Gasoline Tax. After studying the situation in all its aspects, the Province has now deâ€" cided to allow the sale of marked gasoâ€" line (i.e. gasoline marked purple in accordance with the orders of the Oil Controller of Canada) free from the Ontario Gasoline Tax to farmers, liâ€" censed commercial fishermen, licensed guides and licensed or other bona fide tourist outfitters, commencing July 1st, 1943. The new system will eliminate the necessity of submitting claims for reâ€" fund of the tax, as the Ontario Gasoline Tax will now be exempted at the time of purchase, on presentation by the purchaser of his purchase permit and a properly completed and signed "exempâ€" tion statement‘"‘. Purchase permits and exemption statements will be bound together in book form and mailed diâ€" rectly to the purchaser from the Deâ€" partment, on approval of his applicaâ€" tion. The purchaser should secure his "Apâ€" plication for Purchase Permit" from his retail dealer in marked gasoline, any Division Office of the Department of Highways or the Gasoline Tax Branch of the Department of Highways at Torâ€" onto. â€" It is anticipated that if the coâ€"operaâ€" tion of sellers and purchasers is reâ€" ceived that this new procedure will be of considerable benefit to the persons involved.

"To qualify for this most interesting job," says the memo, "one should be a competent Touch Typist with a speed of not less than 30 words per minute on a typeâ€" writer.

Published in Timmins ied in Timmins, t., Canada EVERY THURSDAY R.C.A.F. to Establish Experimental Training Station at Kapuskasing Arctic Flight Unit to be Established at Kapuskasing for Winter Operation. Experts from Aircraft Factories May Also be Sent to Kapuskasing to Study Conditions. Practically since the commencement of the war The Advance has been askâ€" ing why the air fields of the North Land have not been used in the trainâ€" ing of airmen under conditions that would approximate actual conditions in the war areas overseas. It has been pointed out time and again that there were airfields in this North that apâ€" peared particularly adapted for the work These airfields are in only partial use for the purposes for which they were constructed. Only the auâ€" +horities could tell why new airfields have been constructed at great cost and much loss of time, while the Northâ€" ern airfields have been passed by. The reasons suspected by the public for this odd situation are by no means flattering to those responsible. f Last week Canadian Press despatches from Ottawa said the R.C.A.F. planned to establish a winter experiâ€" mental and training flight at Kapuskasâ€" ing where Canada‘s war planes could fly over arctic wastes in the worst of subâ€"zero temperatures. _ The despatâ€" ches said, in part:â€" "Kapuskasing, noted for its long, cold winters, is expected to provide the proâ€" per atmosphere of isolation and limâ€" ited equipment. It is 450 miles northâ€" west of Toronto. "Aim of the unit will be fourIOld â€" to select and develop the most suitable ground equipment for all types of airâ€" craft; to reduce to a minimum the changes required to enable various types of aircraft to operate under Arctic temperatures; to establish the proper technique for servicing, maintenance and operatio®Ms in cold weather, and to spread knowledge of winter fiying throughout the R.C.A.F. by courses of instruction and practical exercises. "The RCAF. must be prepared to cope with Arctic flying conditions, the headquarters statement said, because of the possibility of home war Operaâ€" tional units having to operate from isâ€" olated stations or from airfields without sheltered repair shops or hangar faciliâ€" ties. "It is expected that major aircraft engine companies in the United States may send experts to Kapuskasing to assist in technieal matters and to profit by the findings of the R.C.A.F. experiâ€" mental unit. "Because of the pressure of developâ€" ing the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, the RC.AF. had made no concerted effort to widen knowledge of winter flying since the outbreak of war, headquarters said. An RCAF. spokesman, in paying tribute to the prewar contributions made by Capada‘s bush pilots and meâ€" chanics, who had pioneered in the development of winter flying in the northland, said:â€" "The men with this kind of experience are spread very thinly throughout the air force, and they are employed in posts which usâ€" ually preclude them from communicaâ€" ting all their hardâ€"won lore to the risâ€" ing generation. Because of this, the technique of winter operation is gradâ€" ually being lost in the R.CAF." Another Angle In publishing the Canadian Press despathes, The Sudbury Star touches on another angle. The Sudbury Star prefaces the Ottawa announcement with the following reference:â€" "The first move to protect Northern | Ontario mines against possible enemy action from Hudson‘s bay was anâ€"| nounced at Ottawa last night when | RCAF. beadquarters said a winter experimental and training fiight would . be established at Kapuskasing. ’ Canada‘s halfâ€"millionth unit of motorized equipâ€" Gcneral Moilors Pres ment, a battery charger lorry, was completed in ler President C. W. Oshawa a short time ago. Above, left to right, Deâ€" strations marked the fence Minister Col. J. L. Ralston, Munitions Minisâ€" ade of fifty military ter, C. D. Howe, Ford President W. R. Campbell, tacular manneuvres TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 18T, 1943 will be fourfold â€" PRESENT 500,000TH MILITARY VEHICLE "The RCAF. statement said merely that "all types" of aircraft would be stationed at the new base to enable air force technicians to learn whaat adaptaâ€" tions would be necessary for winter flying from isolated bases. "From Magistrate E. R. Tucker of Cochrane, longâ€"time advocate of air protection for Northern Ontario mines, The Sudbury Daily Star learned that fighter planes will be stationed at the new base as soon as it is ready. "Establishment of a fighter base in far Northern Ontario means that proâ€" tection will be available whenever and wherever it is needed," Magistrate Tucâ€" ker said. "It is in line with what we have been advocating all ‘along. We believe there should be fighter planes ready for action at all times." _ "The establishment of an R.C.AP. station at Kapuskasing was a defensive measure in itself, he said. "There have been no defences there at all,""‘ Mr. Tucker continued, "and German planes could land there, set up a few machine guns, blow up two bridges, and be in full command of the field for perhaps weeks." "The same thing should be done at Nellie lake, near Cochrane," Mr. Tucâ€" ker said. "There are thousands of acâ€" res of sand plain, a natural landing field which the T.C.A. sometimes use. It would be just as easy for enemy planes to land by the hundred some day as it is for T.C.A. planes now. I hope the R.C.A.F. move in there next." The bomb had apparently landed in one of the English towns, and as it had never gone off, it was retrieved by Sapâ€" per McChesney, who cleaned it out, and sent it to his mother, Mrs. McChesney, who now has a souvenir of the bombâ€" ing in Britain. Souvenir of an Incendiary Bomb Sent from Overseas Object W o uld Prove to be Very Dangerâ€" ous if Loaded. Mrs. J. McChesney has in her posâ€" session at present, a German incendiary bomb, that was sent to her by her son, Sapper Bruce McChesney, 1st Tunnelâ€" ling Co., of the Royal Canadian Enginâ€" eetrs, overseas. The casing on the bomb is about a foot long and is of metal coming to a sharp point at one end, with a vane at the back, to assure its direction when being dropped. The bomb is harmless looking, when it has been cleaned out, but would prove to be extremely danâ€" gerous if it were full of the powder, ready to go off. Besides Sapper Bruce McChesney, there are two other sons of Mrs. Mcâ€" Chesney, overseas, Corportal Don Mcâ€" Chesney, and Staffâ€"Sergeant Clayton McChesney. Entered R.C.A.F.

Training Courses Open to Young Men to Qualify. Air Force Still in Need of Air Crew and Skilled Trades Squadron Leader J. M. Roberts, Comâ€" manding Officer No. 7 Recruiting Cenâ€" tre R.C.A.F., North Bay, in a note last weekâ€"end to The Advance, points cout that the Royal Canadian Air Force is still in need of Air Crew, Skiled Tradesâ€" men and unskilled to take a course in training under the War Emergency Training‘ Plan to qualify themselves in a specific trade. Algonquin Regiment Now on Service Over the Sea Squadron Leader Roberts urges those interested to apply at once by letter or in person at the R.CAF. Recruiting Centre, 40 Worthington Street, East, North Bay. Recently relatives in Timmins and the North learned that the Algonquin Regiment had arrived safely overseas and was stationed "somewhere in Engâ€" land," awaiting . chance of acâ€" ‘+ive service in, actual combat. in one of the new theatres of war. The Algonâ€" cain Regiment is the North‘s own parâ€" ticular unit, having been founded on the militia regiment here before the wan started. One of its companies had headquarters at Timmins and was reâ€" cruited from the Porcupine Camp. There is not a centre in the North from Kapuskasing to Sudbury that has not its representative in the Algonquins. Timmins was varticularly well repreâ€" sented n the early days of the war, but large numbers of the soldiers in the Algonquin Regt. transferred to other units. Despite this, however, recruiting catried on kept the Algongquns up to strength and they served both in the West and in Newfoundland, and later in the East before their final orders for overseas. Sixty Days for Theft of Coupons for Gasoline At Haileybury last week Magistrate Atkinson sentenced James Champaigne, of Elk Lake, to sixty days in Jail with hard labour for stealing gasoline couâ€" pons. He admitted that while drunk he took coupons from anotner man‘s gasoline ration book. Afterwards, he gave away the stolen coupons, though refusing to give the names of the perâ€" sons to whom the stolen coupons were given. This form of theft had to be stopped, the magistrate said, as he imâ€" posed the 60â€"day sentence. $100.00 Bond to be Drawn Each Night.
