C Miss Nina MacLeod Valued Teacher Here Died on Monday After an illness of only a few days Miss Nina MacLeod passed away on Monday morning, Oct. 26th, at the home of her sister, Mrs. E. L.

Hanover Smashed in Easy Raid, Says Timmins Airman In a letter dated October 14th, reâ€" ceived yesterday, Wednesday, Warrant Officer (2) Bert Hornby says: "We just got back to camp toâ€"day. We landed at an American drome after the Hanâ€" over raid and were there for six days due to engine trouble. We had a wonâ€" derful time down there; they treated us like Kings:; they couldn‘t seem to do enough for us . . . We had a very nice "To you from failing hands "We throw the torch. "Be yours to hold it high." That is the thought behind the action oi the members of Timmins Branch No. 88 Canadian Legion in the purchase of a $1000 fifth Victory Loan bond. Miss MacLeod came to Timmins in 1922. For a short time she taught in an improvised room in St. Mary‘s hosâ€" pital; then in Vimy public school( now the Holy Family school). In November, 1925, she was transferred to Moneta public school where she remained until June of this year. Among the immediate relatives surâ€" viving are her brother, Clifford, of Leeburn, and her sister, Mrs. E. L. Urâ€" quhart, of Timmins. The action of the Legion should help to stimulate Victory Loan sales as it proves that those who have seen the horrors of war and its aftermath, at least have faith in their country and are planning along lines of progressiveâ€" ness and assistance for the day when the boys return. The late Miss MacLeod was an outâ€" standing. resourceful and conscientious teacher, and it would be difficult to estimate the value of her influence not only on her pupils but on the others with ‘whom ‘sthe «came in She was not only an inspiration to her puâ€" pils but to all those with whom she worked. Though devoted to her work as a teacher she found time for octher community interests, and she held the esteem and appreciation of all who knew her For several years she was secretary of the Sunday School in the First United Church and was also a chartér member of the Fireside Club. In ‘her own quiet and unassuming way she was valuable to the community and took her part in the building of the town. She was a willing worker and gave generously of ‘her time and of herself to any organization of whlch she was a member. As a mark of honour to the work she had done Moneta school was closed all day Monday.

The Legion had previously invested surplus monies in Victory bonds for the benefit of those who will be future Legionaires after the Victory. Now they are ready to speed the victory by lending their money for the cause of freedcm. Miss MacLeod had many devoted friends and her loss is keenly felt by wide circles.

At the Moneta public school the Fifth Timmins Boy Scouts enjoyed a very deâ€" lightful evening, one of the big features of which was the delicious banquet for which the Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the troop did the catering. These ladies, comâ€" posed of the mothers and sisters of the Boy iScouts of the troop, recently orâ€" ganized as an auxiliary and they have already more than proved their value.

The collection of waste fats on Satâ€" urday last by the Boy Scouts proved somewhat discouraging, only a small amount of the material being secured. The Boy Scouts, however, realize the need for these waste fats and will later make another effort to collect the matâ€" erial so much needed for munition work.
