_ at St. Anthony 3 There are reports that the fuel situation in Canada is not very promising. The Coal Controlâ€" ler for the Dominion is quoted as urging people to stock up now on coal. Canadian production of coal is said to be falling:; imports of coal are alleged to be increa.singly scarce, and householders are reported as failing to stock up before the actâ€" -ual approach of winter. The situation is not pleasing one, and it is little comfort to know that governmental action and lack of action may fairly be blamed for much of the present conditions. The labour‘situation was allowed to get out of hand. Rationing of coal in the earlier part of the summer discouraged or prevented many from securing supnnes of fuel. It would appear that to assure security for the «coming winters it is not _ safe to depend upon Dominion government action. _ Bt is very sincerely to be hoped that the Province _ of Ontario shows more ability and action. This _ province has one method whereby the fuel probâ€" \ lem may be helped in very material way. That method is the early development of the lignttei â€"deposits north of Cochrane..

The same idea occurred in regard to different types of planes and other war necessities. It is not too much to say that enterprise in Canada has shown that anything that has been done elsewhere can be done in this Dominion with equal or better speed and efficiency. Why not sweep away politâ€" ical handicaps and red tape and get the lignite production under way?. Municipal councils, boards of trade, service. clubs and others should centre on this lignite question and keep the quesâ€" tion so alive and to the fore that effective action will follow immediately. as the least of the many evils, but he scored the liberal administration for not being more zealous in helping prosecute the war, and for passing by so many disloyal utterances. This was plain speaâ€" king that is badly needed. There has been a policy of appeasement in regard to the politicians in Quebec for many years. That appeasement appears to be having the same effect that it had on the Fascists and Nazis overseas. The time for appeasement seems to have long passed. Talk of the setting up of a separate state within the Domâ€" inion should be stopped. It should be made plain that Canada intendsd to defend itself as a united nation within the British Commonwealth. It is well to rememper that the man who is disloyal to the Empire is disloyal to Canada because Canada In the recent provincial election campaign in Quebec it appeared as if the major political partâ€" ies of the neighbouring province were contesting as to which could be the most isolationist and disloyal to the Empire of which Canada is proud to be a part. Statements were openly made to the effect that there were special laws or special interpretations of the laws for Quebec in regard to conscription and other matters. Quebec taxi drivers went on strike because they did not like the price regulations of the Dominion Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The Provincial Minister of Labour in the Godbout Liberal Government in Quebec told the taxi drivers to go back to work and charge their own prices irrespective of Warâ€" time Prices and Trade Boardâ€"that Quebec would look after its own affairs regardless of the atitude of Dominion authorities. In the riding just across the border from this part of Ontario the election ocntrols were very lively and some most objecâ€" tionable statements were made many of them< being disloyal to Canada as a united nation. Iti remained :for the Labour Progressive candidate| to do some p\lain and proper speaking. He e_x-‘ plained that he would support the Liberal party is an integral part of that Empire. Disloyal utâ€" terances and isolation sentiment are espéecially reprehensible at this time when so many of Canâ€" ada‘sâ€"best are giving their lives for the safety of Canada as a part of the Empire. The policy for each loyal individual might well be summed up in the policy quoted by W. O. Langdon at the recent Progressive Conservative party convention for this riding of Cochrane, when special emphasis was given to loyalty to the King, full participation in the war effort, the enforcement of conscription as part of the people‘s expressed demand, and the fullest support now and after victory for all who gave their lives or risked their lives in defence of Canada the Empire ‘and freedom. GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER ULD BE NO PUSSYFOOTING The charge of "conducting:a comâ€" mon gaming house" preferred against the Titnmins Kiwanis Club in ~connectâ€" ion with the recent Kiwanis Carnival came before the police magistrate at Tuesday‘s session of police court.. The charge had originally been laid againtit the president of the club, but the name of the club (an incorporated body) was substituted before the case came to trial. W.Q. Langdon, a Past ‘TLieutenâ€" antâ€"Governor of the Kiwanis;, was counsel for the defence. While enterâ€" ing a plea of guilty he asked to be allowed to make a statement to show that the Kiwanis had no <«desire to flout the law, but had made"careful effort to comply with the requests of the police in the matter. Mr. Langdon pointed out that there was very general use of the games referred to and they ‘were allowed to operate all over the country, without interference. The cause for whxch the Carnival was held â€"to raise money to carry on patriotic ‘and community workâ€" was a worthy one. All that had been done had been _done in good faith, and the Club wishâ€" ed to make it plain that thexe was no intention deliberately to break the spirit of the law. Crown Attorney Caldâ€" â€"bick was present for the prosecutton and commented that .there ‘was no doubt that the law had been broken. The chfef objection was to some of the wheels and not so much to fhe bingo, though the latter also seemed to be illegal. Magisitrate Atkinson, after accepting the plea of guilty, imposed a fine of $25.00 and costs. Of the nine wheels seized by the police at the carnival three were confiscated.: ‘Effort Made to Follow Reâ€" quests of Police in. the Matter of Games. Counsel Explains That Kiwanis Had no Intention to Flout | the Law at Carnival . Canadian Made War Planes are seldom christened until. they reach the battle zonesâ€"and then the naming is usually done by the boys who fly them, for their sweeties, home towns of favourite comic strip characters. But when the movie star and former Academy Award winner Joan Fontaine was at the de Havilland plant in connec¢tion with the Sixth Victory Loan, she christened a mosquito bomber "Joan" It is likely that this is the first warplane in Canada to enter the fight against the Axis bearing a woman‘s name, formally ‘bestowed. Miss Fontaine was obviously thrilled about it all, but as she explained to the 6,000 workers who c{ wded the de Havilland airfield for the cerâ€" emony, it was pretty much a family affair, Miss Fontaine is a cousin of the famous Sir Geoffrey de: Havilland, the man who designed the Mosquito and was recently knighted by the King. and all funds realized are expended in such cause. And in addition the members give generously of‘their time and effort. ‘ It is to be observed that the Presiâ€" dent went to the only authbrities posâ€" sible to determine the posmon of carnival play, and it is =ubnlibted that having received the above mrormatlon, the â€"club was lulled into a feeling of security and was led to believe that conducting a street carniyal in such manner would not result in any prosecution. As sQated before, the carnival has been openly conducted, and it affords an opportunity to the public to conâ€" tribute to club efforts, and the club obtains permission from the municiâ€" pality to hold the carnival. On Thursday, the opening day of the carnival, the Deputy Chief in the performance of his duties, advised the President of the Club of his intention to stop illegal games and to prefer charges.. During the interviewâ€" the President raised the question of bingo and the Deputy Chief ‘stated that bingo was doubtfu}, thereby giving tacit approval to the playing..of bingo, or at any rate he did not state that it would be stopped and charge â€"laid. On »,Friday, the day following, the President interviewed the Chief of Police and discussed the matter of a play on a wheel where no cash prize was given to the winner, but a ticket on the draw, and also the use of a further wheel on which the payâ€"off consisted of a ticket for. merchandise The Chief gave as his} opinion* that he did not think there : would } ‘be. such objection if activities confined to such play only. And I stress the fact. that no other play was carried on, and as a fact, most of the wheels and equdpment remalned stored away. f ult, o Narcotlc Dmgs and :‘Other Matters at Police Court Here Two other charges of assiriult with intent to do bodily harm were withâ€" drawn, while another man pleaded guilty to common assault and was fined $5 and costs. Illicit spirits (moonshine to you, mister) also figured in Tuesday‘s court. Guillaume Blais was found by Timmins police in possession of a bottle of the moonshine, and it cost him $100.00 and costs. Ernest and Philip . Laforest, brothers living in Mountjoy township, were each charged by the Mounted. Police with illegally, having moonshine. Ernest took the onus for all the illicit liquor and he was fined $100.00 and costs, while the The longest case at police court on Tuesday was by no means the most important. It was the case against Mrs. F®. Storosko of common assault on Mrs. Helen Tesluk, W. Bhub appeared for Mrs. Tesluk and Dean Kester, KC., for the defence. Evidence for the prosecution suggested that Mrs. Storosko had attacked Mrs. Tesluk in after she had been slapped in the face she had put her bag up to protect her glasses and that the accused_had jerkâ€" ed it down so roughly that the handle of the handbag had been broken. The defence evidence admitted the "slap in the face," but explained that it had followed the use of an objectionable name that may be considered a "fightâ€" ing word‘" when applied_to a woman. The magistrate felt that the evidence proved assault, but not of very serious kind. Dean Kestes suggested that a dollar fine would meet the situatiqn. "I‘ll make it two dollars and costs," the magistrate concluded. As there were several witnesses in the case, the costs were also longer than usual, being $17.75, making the grand total of $19.75. All of which is respectfully subâ€" mitted. A charge of wilful damage was also among the cases withdrawn. Longest Case Not the Most Serious. Seven Stop Sign and Pay.
