Of the 190 donors about 50 of this number were donors who were not called at this time as they had previously given six donations. Outstanding among the donors this month were R. T. Ryan. Hemlock St.. who completed his twentieth donation; Edward Scholes. 36 Patricia. making his twelfth donation: and several per- sons making ninth and tenth dona- tions. Other donors worthy of special mention also were numerous service men and women in town 071 leave. one of whom is visiting at the home of Mrs. Hardy. 6 Power Line. had just returned from four and a half years service overseas and will soon be on his way to the Pacific.

Aus- tin Neame, in the chair. It was felt that if the town of Timmins was to carry the major cost of the project that a plebiscite should be taken to see if the majority of the people were in favour of the form of memorial proposed. Until the opinion of the people was obtained little could be done. and it was no use to go ahead unless the plan was favoured by the people. 'Council is to be asked to sub- mit the plebiscite. In the meantime it was suggested that the plan in dé~ tail be given publicity so that all might vote with the complete know- ledge in the matter. Among those taking part in the discussion at the meeting were:â€"â€"â€" Rev. Fr. O'Gorman. Geo. Richards. Mrs. W. Johnston. Mrs the leadership of Lieut. J. Lomas. is another valued feature. No. the admission price is not in the dollar class as it justly might be. In- stead. it is merely nominal. The doors open at 7.30 pm. and then the admis- sion price is a mere ten cents. Even for those coming after 9 p.m.. it is only twenty-five cents. And there is the grand and glorious feeling that every cent you spend at the carnival goes to a worthy cause. The proceeds are for the war work of the Tlmmins Branch No. 88 of the Canadian Legion. The Legion has been doing great work in looking after servicemen and their families. and the Legion will be faced with more of these calls and is build- ing up a fund to meet the increasing demands that will be made upon it. So, as the window cards advise. “come in your crowds," and help along the worthy work of the Canadian Legion. Home on Month's Leave Then to G0 to Pacific Carl Briggs. Pat Larmer. Rev.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 28TH, 1945 Timminsl firemen had a busy week. though without a single fire of any moment. They had four calls. two of them for drowning accidents where their services were of speciall value. Another call was to help a lady who had been locked out of her home. The fourth call was on Wednesday to the Central school where the coal had taken the from an electric light, bulb left burning in the bin. This was dealt with promptly and effectively with no loss. Good Work by the Timmins Firemen During the Week Two Boys Lose Lives By Drownmg There were two drowning fatalities this week. one on Sunday when Fred. Duclos. aged nine, lost his life in Fulham Creek. and the other when Clifford Phibin, aged 15. was drowned in Miller Lake, near the Dalton Farm on Tuesday afternoon. Fred Duclos. who was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Duclos. 62 Cres- cent avenue. had been fishing and it is: thought that he stepped on a boom at the mouth of the creek and slip- ped into the water. At 4.38 pm. the firemen were called to the scene and they. dragged the river until 8.10 when they brought up the body. The provincial police and W. Goulet also assisted in the attempt to recover the body. Attempt at resuscitation was unavailing. Clifford Phibin. whose father is the manager of the Taylor Hard ware at Hearst. the family planned to move there this week after a holi- day in the south, had been swimming with two other lads. and got panicky. not being a good swimmer. The other two lads attempted to rescue him but were unable to do so. The firemen received a. call for this accident. at 2.05 p.m.. and by 3.50 had recovered the body with the assistance of the provincial police and the use of the Forestry Dept. boat.

John Krasavec Event Held in Victory Hall at Monteith on Sunday Veteran Guards Enjey Concert by Citizen” Band Timmins Citizens' Band responded to an invitation from the Veteran Guards at Monteith by travelling on Sunday last to that camp and pre- senting a two hours‘ programme that pleased the Veteran Guards. It was originally planned to give an open air band concert. but it began to rain at 3 pm. on Sunday and continued un- til late in the evening. It you think that that would stop the planned musical event. then you do not know either the Timmins Citizens’ Band or the Veteran Guards. Instead of hold- ing the event in the open air ar- rangements were made for the con- cert to be presented in Victory Hall. Monteith Camp. The hall was: packed to capactty for the occasion. and the Veteran Guards listened with keen interest to the programme of pleas- ing music given by the Timmins Cit- izens‘ Band under the able leader- ship of Bandmaster F. J. Woino. The programme presented was as follows: “0 Canada." “Caliph of Bagdad." selection. “Victoria." selection. “Arethusa.” march. “Destiny." waltz. Community singing of the songs of the last war. “Operatic Mingle.” selection. Trombone and cornet duet by two junior members of the Band. “The Gay Nineties," waltz. “Invasion." march. “Laurentian Echoes.“ pot pourri. “Colonel Bogey." march. After the concert the members of the Band were the guests at a very pleasing lunc‘h, the Canadian Legion Services Officer being the host for this: part of the programme of the evening. Timmins Citizens' Band was heart- itly applauded after each number giv- en at Monteith on Sunday evening, and they were also thanked person- ally by the 0.0. of the Camp. Irving. Joan Jefl‘ries.

Marie. formerly active and valued member of the Timmins Kiwanis. and Lieut. Merton Lake. H. M. 'C. S. Levis. Both of them were called upon for brief addresses and both responded in in- teresting sway. Kiwanian Watson ex- pressed his pleasure at being again at a Timmins Club meeting and his interest in Kiwanis work. Lieut Merton Lake gave many in- teresting glimpses of life in the Can- adian Navy. He touched especially on the work of the Coastal Patrol and the part played by frigates like the Levis. The equipment of the frigates was concisely explained. They were ships of about 2,200 tons and could do about 20 knots per hour. They ried around 160 officers and men, The entertainment features was also men- tioned to show how the morale of the men was looked after on their long and lonely trips. The ships carried motion picture equipment and films. and passing ships would swap films. thus providing quite a number and variety of pictures for the voyages. There was amusing reference to in- cidents that sometimes happened dur- ing blackouts at sea, where the black- outs “were very black indeed." Brief ,reference was made to the armament [carried and to the type of vessel to be used by Canada in the Pacific. The address was very warmly applauded. ! Lieut. Lake was introduced by Ki- ;wanian G.
