During the business period Mrs. Rachel Leivo, the president of the Unit, presided; Miss Ellie Heinonen, the se- cretary-treasurer of the Unit, acting as recording secretary. It was decided to take a snort holiday and to hold the next regular work meeting on Thurs- day, Aug. Blst, at the home of Mrs. Annie Peterson, 144 Commercial Ave. Fnough of wool was distributed to las‘. through holiday. The usual devo- tional period was conducted by the kev. A. I. Heinonen. Prayers were also bfiered on behalf of the many men and women of Finnish origin from the Por- pupine Camp who are serving in the army, navy and air force overseas and others who are in training in Canada. There are very few Finnish-simaking families in this district who have not at least one member of the family, a son, daUghter, father, brother or Sister; representing them in the service. Some families have more than one member of the family in the serviees. Several have already made the supreme sacri- fice in active service.

The latest exploit of this dog 3 was to trace a man wanted rfor murder. The man was surrounded in the bush in Saskatchewan and the dog was then :sent after him. The officers heard a .shot and found the man dead from a lbullct wound in the head. Apparently the accused man felt that he had- no escape and when he found .the dog had tracked him down decided to end his life rather than face the arrest and trial. “Dark of Yorkton." was born in Co- balt and raised in Haileybury. When a few weeks old the .pup was sold to Pat Slaght, who is now with thel R. C. A. F. at Summerside. .B, C. When the young man moved from Haileybury and joined the R. C, A. IF., he was anxious to get a good. home for his dog , as he could not take him with him in the R. C. A. 1“. (Hearing that the R. C, M. P. were training dogs for police work, and be- lieving that the dog was particularly qualified for such work, a letter was sent to the headquarters of the .Moun- ties at Ottawa. First a favouratle reply was received and next a dog trai- ner was sent up to examine the dog. The trainer liked the dog very much and thought he could be trained very easilyfor police work. so he took “Dark" away in a special crate brought along for the purpose. After a few week’s training at Rockli-ffe. near Ottawa, word was received that the dog was more than living up to expectations The R. C. M. P_ plan is to train each dog to obey the command of one spe- cial officer and after the training the dog remains with that officer for work in the field. “Dark" went with his officer to Yorkton.

Two of these are worthy of particular note as a warning to motor- ist that even where the spirit of the {law is not broken there may be tech- Inical breach of the regulations with , resulting penalties. One of these cases i was a charge against Mr. H. Bates that ' he sold three tires while not an author- ized dealer. Mr. Bates explained that; he had purchased the three tires in tn:- -proper wav and had them on his own car He was going to the South for a convention and borrowed the car of Mr.E. Nosov for the trip. He was not sure that the tires on Mr. Nos'ov‘s car would make the trip safely. so he changed the wheels on the two cars, thus putting his tires on Mr. Nosov's car. On his return he intended to change back again. Mr. Nosov was away when he returned and the ex- change was’ not made for a day" or two In the meantime W. P. 8:. T. B. oi l‘ieials checking Mr. Nosov's (tar found that he had synthetic tires while his papers I called for ordinary tires. Mr. Bates said there was no thought of sale or barter or exchange, only that he was using his own tires on Mr. Nosov’s car while he was driving it. «Mr. Nosov did not even know that the tires had been changed. S. C Platus. tor the Wartime Price and Trade Board, pointed out that the regulations were very plain and did not permit of trans- fers of any kind. A fine of $50.00 and costs was imposed on Mr. Bates, who was quite frank in explaining what he had done and why. Asa sequel to this case, Mr. Nosov was charged with pur- chasing tires from an unauthm'ized dealer. Mr. W. Grummett, M. P. P., was counsel for the defence. While not objecting to the hearing of the case beâ€" fore Magistrate Atkinson, Mr. irumâ€" met pointed out that the natural place for the hearing seemed to be Anson- ville. where Mr. Nosov resided and where the car was located with the tires on which the case was based. He sug- gested that W. P. T. Board officials might fall into the habit- of mark- ing all cases for Timmins for their own convenience and he simply wished to call attention to the matter so that defendants would have their rights protected in the matter. Mr. Nosov pleaded not guilty to the charge. He said that not only had he not bought the tires in question but that. he did not even know they were on his car until the W. P. 8.: T. Board officials called Using Tires on Another Man’s Car Cost $50 and Costs Many of Cases at; the Police C'ourt Tuesday Were War- time Prices and Trade Board Charges the W. P. T. Board officials called the matter to his attention. He had loaned his car to Mr. Bates, and was away at his other store at Virginia- town when the car was returned. The magistrate dismissed the charge. Two other charges laid by the W. P. (K: T. Board seemed to be cases more of technical breach of the law than vio- lation of the spirit of the regulations. John Proulx was charged with having gasoline coupons without having the car license number on each coupon in the book. He was fined. $10 and CUSLS. A similar fine was imposed on T.

J. H. KNELL for a similar offence. Both men ap- peared to be unaware that the license number had to be on each coupon. They seemed to think that if the num- ber was on the coupons when presented at the gas station that was all that was required. Magistrate Atkinson read out the regulation to show that it distinctly stated that the number must be written on every coupon in the book immediately after the book was issued Geo. Tokar was charged with being drunk in charge of a car. J. W.Lieber- man was counsel for the defence and put on a hard battle for his client. Police evidence showed however that the accused had been under the in- fluence of liquor at the time of his ar- rest. and that he had said that he did not want a doctor Mr. Lieberman asked that his client be given the benefit of the. doubt. but the magistrate said there did not seem to be any doubt. Before sentence, the magistrate looked into the matter of previous convictions and found that the accused had been convicted of a similar offence in 1942. Before sentence, the magistrate into the matter of previeus com and found that, the accused ha‘ ccnvicted of a similar offence it He was given one month, his 0 He was given one month, his car im- pounded for three months and his driv- ing license suspended for six months. When Tokar said that he had sold the 'ar, Magistrate Atkinson replied that the impounding of the car would stand 11111055 the department saw fit to re- move the ban, and that Tokar would have to ad just the matter with the pur- chaser of his ear.

It is reminiscent of the toll gates came to her house, accused her of giv- ing informaton to the police, and then threatened her. Lemieux denied all this, and as there was no supporting evidence against him, he was given the benefit of any doubt and the case dis- missed. Aristide and Ass’elm Lalonde, charged with assault with intent to do bodily harm to a police officer. were remanded :to next 'week, bail being set at $1000 each. On a charge of disorderly con- duct. Maurice Gamarche was remanded a week to allow the summonsing of a witness. There were several other re- mands as well as sbme cases withdrawn. Ronald Roderiquc. Elm street south, was fined $25 and costs for obstructing an officer in his duty. Noemi Roderi- que. of the same address, was granted a week's remand on a charge of obstruct- ing an officer in a search. Joseph chage and Noel Fleury made so much noise in the lane alongside the police court station, talking to pri- soners in the cells, that. the patients in took the car and with five friends started ior Kirkland Lake. The car was wrecked on the trip. damage to the extent of $355 being done to the car. He had made arrangements with Dalton's to pay this damage at the rate of $50 per month. While entering a plea of guilty for his' client, Mr. Lieberman asked for leniency and sug- gested that a suspended sentence might till the. bill. He said that the accused had never been in trouble before and that he misunderstood the refusal of permission to take the car. He had been anxious to go to Kirkand Lake to see his wife, and the trouble that had resulted had been due to the fact that his friends had not been the right kind and had led him astray. Larivee was sentenced to three months in jail. Arthur LuriVee was charged with taking a car without the owner‘s con- sent. He had asked fer the use of a car at Dalton’s where he had been a taxi driver. but had been refused. He took the car and with five friends Yves; Lemieux was charged with tres- passing on the property of Mrs. Ealey, Elm north. "Mrs. Ealey s‘aid that he the hospital were disturbed.
