As usual, the answers were very prompt and effi- cient, with the result that practically no damage resulted, though some of .the fires might have been dangerous if allowed a start. Children playing behind the Jaers’ apartment building last Saturday moming set file to a large box used to hold garbage cans. The blaze was no- ticed in time and the firemen made short work of it, with no damage done.

Shelving was being installed to'accomodate 3,009 books and there ‘was arrangement pos-- sible‘ to double this capacity if and when needed. Mr, Day principal of the public schools 11 Timmins, was 'chair4 man of 'the public library, board and devoted much time and effort tbthe arrangements for the opening of the libiary as did also the other members .of the board. The New Empire theatre was filled to capacity on Sunday evening. June 8th, 1994. for the band concert given by special request. .The Advance twenty years ago noted that the programme was particularly good. The selections by the 'I‘ir'nmins Citizens' band were very attractive and most effectively given, Mr. Wheeler, described as .a new acquisition to the vocal talent of the stown. made a decided hit with his rendition of “Up irom Somerset." and was enthusiastically encored, Anocher [popular vocal numberwasgiven byMr. Unsworth.

R. “Neviman was another ‘Neasing 'numoer. At the regular meeting of the town council twenty years ago a letter was read from _Hon. Jas, Lyons. Minister of Lands and Forests. suggesting that the road between Timmins and South Porcupine needed something better than a water-bound macadam surface. The council thought this was likely but they did not agree with Hon. Mr, Lyons that the town and township should pay a material ,part of the cost of putting on a cement top. The council pointed out that the town of Timmins was not in financial position to make heavy expenditures for this road when there were so many calls for other ex- penditures ifor greatly needed works in the town proper. Councillor Long- mcre pointed out that the Drurv Government had decided to put a. tar- via top on the road from South Por- cupine to Timmins and that the whole matter had apparently been decided upon with all parties fairly treated. I seemed to be a case where the onus laid upon the Government to complete the work started. The general opinion was that agood finish to the road would be a splendid idea but that neither the town nor the township were in pos-i- tion to contribute any large amount for this purpose without neglecting other necessary works for the benefit of the citizens Messrs B. 'Lennan and R. Mullin urged council to instal water and sewer service on Elm street between Third and Fourth avenues. Mr, Mul- lin pointed out that very little ‘had been done for this street though tax; paying had been going on very stead- ly all the time by the owners of pro-4 ‘perty. The owners of property on this street had even had to stump the street PURDON-At , the Welland Auxiliary hmspital, on Thursday.

The Guides formed a Horseshoe and the Brownies, a large circle within the Horseshoe. The Union Jack and the colours of each company were paraded down the centre of the hall after which the National Anthem was sung. District Captain Bailey spoke a few words of welcome to the visitors and in- troduced Mrs: Tomney, Asst. Deputy Provincial Commissioner, who spoke on the Guide Promise, taking the meaning of each phrase. and explaining it. Mrs. Tomney said she would be in this District for a. week and expected to visit every Company and Pack. The Guides and Brownies re-afl‘irm- ed their promises. On Thursday. June 8th, there was a meeting in St. Matthew's Church hall of about 70 members of the congrega- tion d parish " gét-together took the form of a supper which was prepared and sersezi by the Ladies of the Anglican Guild with the co-operation of other ladies of the congregation. Much credit is due to these ladies who spared neither time or efsfort to make the supper a great SHOCCS. Miss Wilkins thanked all the Guides and Brownies and said she would al- ways keep the North in her heart. She remarked that this was the first occa- sion on which she had ever been to a Guide meeting without a uniform and “it was something she would not like to do again." Miss Wilkins then addressed a few words to the French Company which she had helped so much in its forma- tion. Mr. S. Robinson then showed the Guides and Brownies some movie films entitled, “A Day at a Saskatchewan Patrol Leaders Camp,” “Activities at Camp and at Home in Ontario,” and finally a comic cartoon. Special thanks go to Mr. Robinson for running off the films. Everyone took time off from the sing- song for refreshments which are un- doubtedly the high-light of any rally. Pop and doughnuts were served. Mrs. Harper. Divisional Commission- er, expressed great pleasure at being able to attend the Rally and intro- duced, Mrs‘. Sharp, President of the South Porcupine Local Association. Mrs. Sharpe spoke on the work of Miss Dorothy Wfilkins. former District Com- missioner, who leaves very shortly to take up a position in Oshawa. Mrs. Sharp mentioned Miss Wilkins good work among all the Guides of this Dis- trict particularly in South Porcupine where she was Captain for a number of years, and also in forming and lead- ing the Cadet Rangers a leadership course for older Guides.

Mrs. Leiterman, former Camp Ad- visor, spoke on the Brownie motto, “Lend a Hand,” and said this was just what the different countries were doing to-dayâ€"lending :3. hand. helping each other fight for freedom. The Guides and Brownies gathered round in a great circle and sang many songs. old and new rounds, rollicking and jolly and quieter ones as well. The sing-song was led by Captain E. Clot- worthy, assisted by Lieutenant G. Langman. 0- v‘â€" â€"â€"___ The Rally closed with the Guide Evensong and Taps.

District Recruiting Ofl'icer today. “To support those boys who have already given four monotonous years out of their lives training for the assault onFortress Europe, we Cana- dians keep up a constant flow of fully trained men to back the attack." “In the early stages of the war our concern was divided between getting a couple of divisions overseas to stem the first waves of the Nazi assault, while at the same timeeproviding munitions and other war material for Great Britain. In recent months the production lines of United States and our own country have ensured that we won‘t lack mate- rial. and now we can concentrate on getting a sufficiency of fully-trained men into the combat zones." “We know now that the women of Canada can do many a job previously regarded as only achievable by men. and for this reason thousands of men previously considered indispensable in their trades can now be released for active service. It is to these that our appeal is particularly directed at this time, They have brains â€"â€" they have shown that by the jobs they hold.
