Lieut. George Darling Writes Interesting Notes on Visit to Cornwall Lieut. George Darling of the Royal Canadian Engineers, who is now in Nortl: Africa, on his last leave in Eng,_ land wrote home an unusually graphic letter describing to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Darling, his travels and inâ€" teresting experiences since leaving Timâ€" mins. His description of a leave spent in Cornwall will be of particular interest to many here where there are so many loyal "Cousin Jacks," and "Jennies." The following is part of this letter from Lieut. Darling: Admired the Scenery at Penzance, St. Ives, St. Just, Mouseâ€" hole, and Other Places of Interest on the Cornwall Coast. Met Many Interesting and Kindly People. "My first view of the harbour at Penzance was quite striking. The slantâ€" ing light of late afternoon seemed to fall through a rift in the clouds on the nearest thing to a fairy castle I have ever seenâ€"St. Michael‘s Mount. "At 6.30 pm. we arrived in Penzance. My lady friend (referred to previously in the letter) gave me her card with her address at St. Ives. Later, I found the address of a sergeantâ€"major on the back which attests to her powers I suppose. "I didn‘t know who I was going to meet, but as I walked along, an old chap tapped me on the shoulder and asked, "Are you Lieutenant Darling?" K replied in the affirmative, and he husâ€" tled me over to a waiting car, and we drove out into the country. We passed the ruins of the Batallach tin mine, and stopped beside a house about the size of ours well out in the country. At the door I was met by Mrs. Nias, a lady 82, and her invalid sisterâ€"inâ€"law, Miss Nias . . . They had an American Lieutâ€" enant there who was leaving the next day. He was from Bostonâ€"quite nice, but not exciting. I was given tea and shown to ia very comfortable room. Then we had dinner, and what a dinner it was! A real roast chicken, with all the trimmings. They had killed one of their chickens for the occasion. . "The ladies were very interesting and T grew to like them a great deal. Mrs. Nias has several sons, all officers in the army. Two were at Dunkirk and one was captured and is a prisonerâ€"ofâ€"war in Germany. He was a lieutenant in the RAM.C., and has been promoted to Captain for his good work as M.O. to the prisoners there. He had just sent them a photo of himself, and they were so pleased to get it. The two of them keep the house up. They have a maid in the morning to make the beds and clean the house, but they each lunch and dinner themselves and enjoy doing it. Miss Nias wheels herself around ir her chair and does as much as a nor_ mal person. She is amazing. Later when we all knew each other better, she laughed ‘at the shock she assumed we must feel when we arrived. T think it remarkable that they take chaps on leave at all, but I can see that they miss their own boys around the house and really enjoy having us around . . . "Next morning we had an early breakfast and the lieutenant left. 1 seemed to have developed a terrific summer head cold that annoyed me a great deal. I spent the day climbing around the ruins of the old Batallach tin mine, trying to figure out what they were. I also climbed . all over Carse Cornwall, which is very pretty. The country is barren hereâ€"few trees, but lots of hedges and innumerable stone fences and stone stiles. The stiles keep the cattle out, but allow humans to "Bus service is fairly good there, but very crowded. I tried to rent a bicycle with no success. Miss Nias, however, phoned a retired bank manager at St. Just, and he loaned me his bicycle, and his daughter, who proved to be a very nice girl, accompanied me on some of the trips on her bicycle. When I went down to their house to get the bicycle, I seemed to occasion much interest, as, I was the only Canadian in that part of Cornwall, though American troops had just recently been stationed at~ Penâ€" zance. All the Qeople T passed said, "Good morning!" was rather friendâ€" ly and nice after the crowded hostile streets of London. pass over them, and these stiles are rather picturesque. "The next day the young lady and I cycled to Sennen Cove and sunâ€"bathâ€" ed on the beach. It was a beautiful day, and the rocks, sand and sky joined with the sea in a colourful holidayers‘ Utopia. My cold was so bad I was afraid to go swimming in the cold sea, but the sunmn probably was good for me. We clambered over the cliff‘s at Land‘s End, and watched the seagulls flying around Longship‘s lighthouse. A long convoy with barrage balloons came leiâ€" surely sailing around the point with lazy column of smoke behind that imerged into a dusty haze for miles along the rocky headland. "Then we walked to a tea room and|reaching the top of the hill. At the had the inevitable English tea and| summit I met a couple of ladies, both cakes. ~Afterwards we cycled back| quite nice looking and I asked them the through fields of purple heather and trail to Lamornee. They said I was yellow gorse to the young lady‘s home. now on it, so I tagged along with them. There we were met her father (Mr. The younger one Mrs. Reading, knew Nicholas) and a couple of sute little: the country quite well and toid me all girls who werq@ just coming in on their about it. I took photos alcong the way, ponies They looked very sunburned| which lay mostly through farms and amsd bappy. The ane head tousled yellow farm yards. At las we came Ou on a Second Section hair and blue eyes as big as saucers, while the other youngster was dark with freckles and a mischievous look. We were all hot and thirsty and went into the house for drink varying from beer to water flavoured with synthetic lemonade. As we listened to the news. the Italian surrender came through, which cheered us all up even mors. They were pleased but not too gay or demonstrative. I think we all realized that it was not complete and that the Germans would take some evicting. I wondered if you people back home reaâ€" lized this as clearly, or whether you allowed optimistic emotions to lead to more exuberant demonstrations than took place in England. However, we hailed it as the best news of the war . .. "Next day (after aspirins the preâ€" vious evening) I woke practically minus the cold, and much happier. I caught the bus in the morning at the "Miner‘s Arms," and at St. Just Mr. Nicholas and daughter got on. They were going into Penzance to do their shopping, as it was market day. The bus was crowdâ€" ed with; Cornish women doing likewise. Some of the girls are quite pretty with blonde hair and the bluest eyes. Others are dark and have almost Castilian fea_ tures, where the blood of Spanish saiâ€" lors shipwrecked ‘after the Armada‘s defeat still shows in eves and set of nose and brow. SomeWwhere here Drake played at bowls on a pretty Cornish green. (I‘ll bet he was drinking tea or doing something equally English, while the Invincible Armada, even as Hitler‘s legions, threatened the English coast.) "When ‘we arrived at Penzance they showed me a quaint little shcp where I bought the postcards I am mailing in separate letters. There was a large assoritment of water colours, some vaâ€" ther good and all inexpensive. I saw cne of a thatched hut thait I have mailed you as a souvenir. mailled you as a souvenit. "When he had coffee at a little shcp where the waitress presented her aulloâ€", graph book for me to sign. . . .I took some photos in the pub where there were a lot of small palm trees growing. It is warm here all year round. "We had dinner at a restaurant, which was good fun. Then I caught a bus to Sls. Ives, and it was a good trip. St. Michael‘s Mount is a beautiâ€" | ful sight. I was sorry thait visitors xare| barred there now. The tr‘p to 8. Ives‘ is very pretty and the first view of the harbour is very striking. It is one of the few real oldâ€"time fishing villa.ges} left, and is perfect. I would not care. for it so much if it were full of tourâ€" ists. T wandered through the narrow streets and visited the quaint shops. At tea time it started to pour down rain and I dashed to a tea room and had a real lobster salad. Was it ever good! It continued to rain as I maide my way back to the bus stand, and took my place in the inevitable queue. By the time the bus arrived. I was quite drowned. I travelled straight back to St. Just and changed from battledress to my serge uniform. I did not bring my civies this time as I l‘ke the battledress to climb arcund in. Then, we had a very nice dinner. The food was very good, and some visitors came in after dinner. They were a charming couple and teld me a lot of Cornish history, and the man tcuched on tin mining and metallurgy. _ day was still wet and rainy. I visited Newlyn and Mousehole in the l rain and had tea at the "Lobster Pot," in Mousehole during a heavy shower. Tea is not such a bad idea. It gives you an excuse for slacking off in the middle of the afternoon, and T am usâ€" ually hungry by ithen when I am on leaves. Mousshole is a quaint tiny place with a lovely little harbour. I watched the fishermen hang out their nets and talked to an old fisherman for a while. He turned out to be.a bit of a crank and I=couldn‘t keep h‘im on Mousehole and off world affairs. He ccmplained that fishing was not subâ€" sidized like farming and they had no recompanse for nets broken by naval boats despite the fact that fishing mas essential in food production. . . . "I went back for dinner early as I was quite wet again, and had a quiet and restful time at the home of Mrs. Nias anmnd Miss Nias. "Yesterday I took a bus o Mouseâ€" hole, as it was a beautiful day and I was determined to get some photos that were good. After taking some sngps I walked along the shore intending to go to Lamomee. I had quite a chore getting up the steep banks and wished I had stuck to the road. There were stone fences and hedges running parâ€" allel to the sea all along the steep bank. These contained little plots of cultivaited land and I had quite a time Ehe Dorrupine Mtpante Published in Timmins. Ont.. Canada NVERY THURSDAY Council Asks Civilian Defence Committee to Keep Up Its Good Work Rscently announcements from Ottaâ€" wa suggested that the Clivilian Defence Committees organized throughout the Dominion for service in case of air raids cz other war emergencies would not be futher sponsored by the governâ€" ment as it was felt that any danger of invasion or air raid was no longer exist. ent. The Timmins town council does i0t altogether agree with the idea of disbanding the C.D.C., ‘believing not cnly ‘tha‘t the organization has done good work in the past but that it may be of inestimable value in case of any kind of an emiergency in the future. At General Recognition of the Value of C.D.C. Work,. Keepâ€" ing Organization in Active Condition Would Prove of Inestimable V alue in Case of Any Emergency Here. a recent meeting cof the town council the following resolution was passed unâ€" animously : â€" "That the Timmins Civilian Defence Committee be instructed to maintain the organization intact as outlined in letter of the chainman daited Nov. 25th, 1943; and "That this Council expresses its sinâ€" cere appreciaticn of the excellent work accomplished by the Committee since it wa‘s crganized." The Council ecnsidered it inadvisable to disband the organizaition at the preâ€" sent t‘me, and a copy of the above resoâ€" lution was sent to Mr. J. W. Dougherty, chairman of the Timmins Civilian Deâ€" fence Committee, with the suggestion that the organization carry on. The trainirig given under Ithe iC.DC. has been very valuable for those taking part and for the community. This train. ing fitted men to handle any pitu:ati.on that might arise from fire, flood, acciâ€" dent or other cause. The experience of bombed cities overseas taught many lessons in the way of preparedness and meeting emergencies that might arise. While the purpcses of the training was to fit people ito be able to meet war emergencies, these emergencies are so diversified in their demands that they are duplicated in many peacetime emâ€" ergencies. While it would appear that there is no danger of air raids in this part of the country now, there still remains the possibility of sabotage or other enemy action arising from actions cf enemics or enemy sympathizers in Canada. In addition, there are the many peacetime emergencies. Civilian Defence workers are all trained in first aid and similar work.

In the coming years all this C.D.C. work will prove of great value to the community. With all the knowledge of first alid, fireâ€"fighting, safeguards against panic or disorder in case of emergencies, the town has an asset of particular value. It may be perfectly true ithat the chances are very small for aerial attack, but they are constant encugh in peacetime as well as in war, in regard to fires and similar emergencies. Because of all this, it is desired that all members of the Civil Defence Committee consider themselves as active members of ithe corganization and hold themselves in readiness for any and all emergency calls If they do this, the community will have proger preparations to tmmeet any ungent situaâ€" tion ithat may arise from ifire, ficod or other cause. iIn th> meantime it is a genuine benefit to have so many trainâ€" ed men with the necessary knowledge to be useful in case of any @ccident. | Les.

Timimins, Decemiber 4, 1943 First Juvenile Court Held Near James Bay Last Week Magistrate Tucker Makes Trip by Dog Team from Moosonee. E. R. Tucker, of Cochrane, held the first regular Juvenile Court held north among the Indians of the James Bay srea last week. A Hudson Bay post was entered last winter and a quantity of gocds taken. The R. C. M. P. were socon cn the job and found that the rcbbery was the work of a half a dozen Indiain boys. The matter was dGealt with just the same as it would be in other parts of the province. With this end in view Magistrate Tucker held Juvenile Court in the far North, travelling to Moosonee ky train and going from there to the Hudson Bay Fost by dcg team. So far as known this is the first time that Juvenile Court has been held aâ€" mong the Indians in the James Bay area, and reports from Cochrane are to the effect that the result was quite successful and that ithe Indians were much impressed with the precedure. Part of the stolen goods was ercovered by the gosd work of the R. C. M. P. The six boys charged with the rclbbery were ordered to make restitutian for the balance of the goods. The court sugâ€" gested how this cculd be done, the boys helping in cutting wood and the sale of the woeod providing for the payâ€" ment for the goods taken and used or destroyed or lost. The boys were imâ€" pressed with the seriousness of the ofâ€" fence and the‘necessity for avoiding any second offence, the decisicon in the case, as is common with Juveniie Court cases, being along the linmnes of allcwing the lads a second chance to be good «and honest citizens without having any stigâ€" ma on their records for the first offence.

His adâ€" dress was a most impressive one and showed in graphic way the notable growth of Ithe R.CAF. One of his most sriking statements was that the RCAF. had been built into an organâ€" ization larger than the Canadian Pacâ€" ific and the Canadian National Railâ€" ways combined. He quoted facts ang figures in regard io men, equipment, etc., to prove this point. Flightâ€"Lieutenant Hislop had a speâ€" cial word of praise for the Timimins Kiwanis Club, pointing out the fine contribution made to the war effort through the orgamization and developâ€" mont ¢f the Air Cadet movement here. The test for the men of the RC.AF., said the speaker, is nimbleness of mind rather than a capacity test. He exâ€" plained that a man with great brain czpacity might not be eligible for the service unless his reâ€"actions were capacity imight not be eligible for the service unless his reâ€"actions were prompt and sure.

Waste fats are still very urgently needed for use in the making of munâ€" itions, and the Timmiins Boy Scouts again on Saturday, Dec. 11th, will make a collection in town. For the convenâ€" ience of the public the collection will be made between the hours of nine and twelve. There will be enough boys a} the work to fully cover the town in thais time. All householders are asked to coâ€"operate to the fullest possible exâ€" tent. In the last collection on Nov. 20th tnere were 700 pounds of waste fats gathered by the boys. This was better than some of the jprevious colâ€" lections but still not good enough. The Boy Scuts also recognize that some good | people who had fats all ready for them | ‘hat date were unfortunately missed in the collection. The Advance earnestly asks the patient coâ€"operation of the. nouseholders in this connection. The Boy Scuts have been having their own trouble but have been making a gallant struggle to overcome all handicaps. They have been organizing and planâ€" ning. (Before the last collection The Advance promised that the collection would be better than on some previous cccasions. So is was. Again the proâ€" mise is made that it will be still better on Saturday, Dec. lith. The boys are taking very serious interest in the matâ€" ter, recognizing its great importance. The collection of waste fats is a very essential matter at present, and all will agree that Timmins should keep up its erid in this as in all other patriotic efâ€" forts. This«is the idea that is activatâ€" ing the Boy Scouts and their leaders at the present time. There are LWO hundred Boy Scouts in town and over ‘300 Cubs, and it is planned to use as many of these five hundred boys as possible if needed to make a thorough collection on Savurday.

Onf account of Christmas, the date for the collection had to be set a little ahead this time. In a circular issued earlietr in tihe war, the Boy Scouts asked the peoplc in general to "Help the Scouts to help rheir country" in this matter of waste fat collection, and the following sugâ€" gestions were given householders:â€" Things To Do 1. Save all your waste cooking fats, gave pan drippings from roast ham beef, lamb and poultry. Save brodiler darippings from steaks, chops, ves} and baoon Gave deep fats, Whfi-’hfi’ W Stratosphere fiying was another in« teresting topic dealt with by the speak â€" er.. In recent months engines capable of operaiting efficiently under stratosâ€" phere conditions has been developed.
