Let us pay at least a small pant of the debt we owe our boys by sending a donation in keeping with our appreciaâ€" *Â¥i0on. The Navy League needs the help of every last man, woman and child in this stupendous effort, so that our men of the sea continue to stay ON the sea, delivering to Britain and her Allies, all that is needed to bring Victory. With your help and the help of others the Navy League and our heroic seamen will carry on. Insteadâ€"the great prize in the minds of our enemies being the untold riches of Canada, we would be fighting and dying in the highways and in the streets, fields and lanes of our own land. Every last one of us owes the freedom, we possess, very largely at least to the gallant sailors who have been and are still delivering the food, men and guns, Red Cross supplies, our gifts and comforts to those other noble men who fight in our places in Europe, Russia, China, India, the South Paciâ€" fic and wherever the enemy can be found. Also I wish to particularly mention that there are upwards of two hundred young men of the Porcupine District now serving in the Canadian Navy and Merchant Marine, all of whom are renâ€" dering heroice service to \Canada and the United Nations. @Dr. J. A. McInnis, Chairman, Porcupine Branch Navy League Col. McLaughlin‘s Letter Oshawa, Ont., Nov. 15, 1943 My Dear Fellow Canadian: While we are still living in a free country, our men are yet battling to keep our glorâ€" ious heritage‘ ‘,This Canada of Ours." Ssometimes we have cause to look at bare facts, and we are convinced that were it not for the unflinching courage and devotion to duty of our Naval and Merchant Seamenâ€"not one shipload of men, munitions 6r food supplies â€" not one gun or tankâ€"not one truck load of greatly needed Red Cross supplies not one parcel for prisoners of war or even for our noble men of the Navy, Army or Air Force could be forwarded to the battle fronts of the Empire. This is Navy Week in Timmins, as elsewhere in the Dominion of Canada There are two special activities in proâ€" press. The one is the special recruitâ€" ing campaign for the Wrens, referred at length elsewhere in this issuue, and the other is the drive for funds to support the work of the Navy League. In reâ€" gard to the latter Dr. J. A. McInnis president of the District of Porcupine Branch has issued the following appeal: Dear Fellow Citizen: â€" The Navy League of Canada (Ontario Division) have requested that our Porcupine Branch set an objective of $3,500.00 to be secured during Navy Week for the District of the Porcupine.> Our Navy League Branch Committee here is most hopeful that this amount can be obâ€" tained as the cause for which it is beâ€" ing raised is most worthy and imporâ€" tant of our war efforts. As chairman of the Porcupine Navy League Branch and on behalf of our committse 1 am making a sincere apâ€" peal for the men of the Silent Service and I feel sure that your response will be as generous as possible. When you have read Colonel Mcâ€" ‘Laughlin‘s special appeal and felt the heartâ€"‘elt appreciation of the couraâ€" geous young men of the Navy and Merchant Marine, it is not necessary for me to say more than to point out that we now have in the Porcupine a smart fully organized Sea Cadet Corps composed of several divisions and sponâ€" sored by the Lions Club of Timmins. This is an achievement of which the citizens of this district may be proud. We are indeed grateful for the splenâ€" did support of truly loyal citizens in the past, and on your behalf the Navy League is lessening the privations, cheering and encouraging our sailors afioat and on shore, and it should be considered a great privilege as well as a duty to support such a worthy cause.

Further Meetings to be Held to Allow All to Present Their Views. °_ In opening, he said he wondered if ithe people here realized how vital the work of the was to the comumunâ€" ity. He showed that the idea that there were no more mines to be discovered was all wrong. He named several pros. pects that he knew personally could be deveioped into mines and there were others. If mining development could be assured stimulation of prosâ€" pecting could be assured. He believed the only way to do this was to remove the unfair restrictions that prevented the prospector from making a living The public were fully protected by the Home and School Associaâ€" tion Holds Regular Monthâ€" ly Meeting. The regular monthly meeting of the Home and School Association took place on Tuesday night with Mr. W. H. East. man in the chair. Dr. McClinton was the principal speaker for the evening and for his topic he chose "Health â€" What is it?‘" He took the audience back to the days of the South African War, before sciâ€" ence had come to the aid of the docâ€" tor and he knew only the art of healâ€" ing. Now, Dr. McClinton says that science and health are bedâ€"fellows. He mentioned that fifty years ago half ofâ€" his audience would have been pockâ€" marked. A person to be in good health, sheould take full advantage of every aid which mcodern science can give him, was another point brought forth by the speaker. He also spoke on the Health Insurance Bill and warned that this: plan, to ‘be successful, would require the coâ€"operation and energy of the people in taking full advantage of it for themselves and their children. Dr. McClinton‘s speech also contained: many humorous and poetical touches. Besides a business portion of the meeting a musical programme was also presented, Miss Cora Amadio singing the solos "A heart that‘s free" and "A brown Bird" and Mrs. A. Gamble playing the piano selections, "Cavalry Etude" and "Love‘s Greeting", by Elâ€" gal The meeting closed with the King and then refreshments were served. The first meeting ‘of the. local comâ€" mittee appointed by council to prepare a brief for"the Ontario Mining Comâ€" missicn was held in the town hall on Morday evening with a couple of dozen pecple in attendance. Councillor Spooner chairman of the committee, presided and Councillor Karl Eyre and Town Clerk A. L. Shaw (secretary) were also present. The case for the prospectors was presented Mr.: F. M. Wallingford. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25TH, 1943 A boy of twelve years of age was in juvenile court this week charged with breaking a street light bulb with a ctone. The magistrate asked the lad row he did this serious damage and he answered truthfully that he was just throwing stones. He didn‘t mean to do any harm, and appeared to be a pretty fair average boy, but the magâ€" istrate impressed on him the fact that the destruction of property! in this way could not be permitted, and that it was especially serious at this time as these lights could not be replaced owing to war conditions. The lad was ordered to report for three months to Mr. Carâ€" son. When the mother was asked if she could pay for the light, she said common law . ag'amsr fraud and imisâ€" repvesentaftion He advocated ‘the reâ€" peal, of the Ontario Securities Act as a first‘ step. Mr. Wallingford referred to the way prospectors had come into Ontario from all parts of the world when this proâ€" vince had "the best mining laws on earth." â€" Cobalt, Porcupine, Kirkland Lake, Red Lake, had been opened and developed ‘and. prosperity arrived for all here. Toâ€"day a prospector could not secure a grubstake, and there was not a single prospector able to make even a ‘bare living out of the work. The few still at the work had to work at something else to try to get enough to keep on prospecting This was too slow and impractical. He pointed out that geologists and mining engineers did not succeed as prospectors. Tt took a special disposition for the work. If the prospector got a fair deal he would not need any government stimâ€" ulation to take up the wonk of develop ing the country. C us "No!" but changed this to "Yes!" when the price was told her. There have been tou many streets lights broken recently and the practice has to be stopped, as not only is it an unnecessary loss, but in some case replacements can not be made at any price on account of the war conditions. In last week‘s Advance in giving the members of the executive of the reâ€" organized board of trade the name of Mr. Fred Graham was inadvertently omitted. The executive of the board of trade now comprises:â€" W. 0. Langâ€" daon C. V. Kearns, Fred Graham, M. B. Corman O. R. Kennie, W. H. Burnes, ics or in Toronto. When men were taken on at the mine they were passed as fit, but this did not seem to hold for long with the experts. The same apâ€" plied to decisions made as to disability. He had been classed as 100 per cent. disability, and then in a few weeks as 50 per cent. disability. He felt there should be some fair and reasonable method adopted to safeguard the men from all angles. A girl of fifteen who had been getâ€" ting out of control, running around with bad company and getting herself in improper situations, was committed to St. Mary‘s School for an indefinite term at juvenile court on Tuesday, She had been a companion of two other girls who were committed to training school at Toronto a couple of weeks ago. This girl‘s father, who had left limmins and gone to Kirkland Lake, cannot be located and no other relaâ€" tives of the young girl were able to look sfter her. Charged with being incorâ€" rigible, the term in St. Mary‘s school seemed the only way fto protect the young girl and give her a better chance in life. Executive of Reâ€"organized Timmins Board of Trade Sigmn. Reg. Cooper, RCN.VR,, left on Wednesday after spending a leave visiting his wife in town J.‘L. Fulton, J. E. H.

Omer Goulet who has won fame by his‘ success in recovering bodies from the river, was also enlisted. The dragging cperations to date, however, have been unsuccessful. At 6.10 pm. on Sunday the firemen had a call to Fulham Creek where a drowning was reported. They took down their full equipment for such cases and immediately started.dragging the river in‘ the vicinity . Later the police took The report of the drowning was first given by two girls who said they saw a man with a pack on his back sitting Hole in Iee and Cap Found to Substantiate Story Told. or the bridge over Fulham Creek. When the man rose to his feet the pack apparently overbalanced him and he fell backward from the bridge into the water. The girls at once give the alarm. When the firemen and police arrived they saw the hole in the ice where the man went through and later a cap was found answering the descripâ€" tion of the one given by the girls as worn by the man, who was evidently a lumberman or prospector. Other peoâ€" ple in the district noticed the man. deâ€" scribed by the girls while he was on Dragging River for Man Thought to Have Fallen from Bridge Eleven Calls for Firemen During the Past Seven Days The next collection of waste fats by the Boy Scouts will be on Saturday, Dec. llith. Save your waste fats for this collection on Dec. llith. In the meantime the boys are to get even bet. er organized and it is hoped that the collection on Dec. 11th will be the best yet, with enough Boy Scouts on the job ito do the work perfectly, missing none, and all the householders helping by contributing the largest amount possible of waste fats. his way to Fulham Creek bridge. All efforts to learn the identity of the man have been unavailing. . The collection of waste faks last Sat. urday by the Boy Scouts was more successful than any of the other recent collections. Some 700 pounds of fat were collected by the boys. In view of all the circumstances this was not too bad. It is hoped however to make it a lot better than that. FPats are badly needed in the making of munitions. If every housebolder would only save a small portion of fats each time for the Boy Scouts collection, the total would be an imposing one. For Saturday‘s collection the Boy Scouts were well organized, brit the intention is to make the organization both larger and better. Unfortunately, a few places were missed last Saturday, but ‘the boys are not to ‘be too much blamed for this as a few of them had to attempt too much. The householders are asked to coâ€"operate with the Boy Scouts and to help by patience and thought of the difficulties the boys have to overcome. There were eleven fire calls during the past week, one of them serious fire. This was at 5.30 a.m. on Priday at the home of Omer Mallette, 31 Carâ€" ling avenue. A baby that wakened at that hour fortunately roused the family and it was seen that a fire was in proâ€" gress. The family were able to get out safely, though only in night attire. The fire apparently started from ashes left in the garage, the fire running along the wall and spreading to the house. The firemen used two lines of hose to bring the fire under control. Considâ€" erable damage was done to the house and contents. Some of the other calls show that the firemen give good service as well as fighting fires. When the water pipes burst at 105 Wilcox street, the people didn‘t know whuat to do, so they sent for the firemen. The firemen saved the situation by turning off the water. Anâ€" other service was to 165 Balsam north where firemen discovered the smoke was due to blocked furnace pipes. The lack of coal in a hopper at 110% Pine street caused another alarm. The fireâ€" men fixed things in that case, too. Boy Scouts Collected 700 Pounds Waste Fats.
