Over a cup of coffee at The Picaâ€" dily on Pine St., for example, the reâ€" porter learned that the redoubtable Mrs. McPherson had listed for the weekend dinners such items as Tâ€"bone straks, veal steaks, plenty of ham and bacon, sausage and liver.

Doug Hall It was thought, that, lacking any meeting place that woiuild accomodate the activities of all young people in town, there might be set up a number of such meeting places which would du the job for a number of smaller groups. These smaller bodies would elect thneir own executives and members of these executives would in turn be named as representatives on the centrai group. A survey is being made of availabie accomodation in Timmins toâ€" learn just what is possible in this respect. Tentatively, it was suggested that at the: meeting ca general executive of young folk might be selected to act as a guiding body. for a organiâ€" zation, if such coull he developed.

Rather, it is the intenâ€" tion to take university men for this purpose, give them two year‘s training, and put them on the Reserve. The group, when fully enlisted, will consist of some 16,000 men, most of whem would be potential instructors. Only about 5,000 have been enlisted ‘for this.group to date, he stated. ‘For this reason the R.C.AF. is now conducting an enlistment campaign Young men, just out of school, are the In â€" addition, recruits received a month‘s holiday each year,‘ a 48â€"hour pass each month, plus their weekends. Working hours averaged a 9â€"12; 2â€"5 o‘clock schedule, the speaker said. Following the speaker, Dave Wemyss, viceâ€"president of the club who was in the chair in the absence of President T E. Hawkins." gave a report on the activities of the bicycle club. The club has had two outings, with an average attendance of 75. on each of the two previous Sundays.

A pension plan was being considered. t ol is t t SS Ne# CS M C _ MB e e t io Oe P t n Among the disadvantages, the speak â€" er cited the fact that recruits could not tell how often they might be moved to other stations, and the fact that enlistment into air crew would be very low, probably not more than two cent. "The RCAF. will give you a trade, and a good one,"â€"Flight Lieut. Hall declared ‘in outlining the advantages to be gained by young men enlisting. "Ranks are automatic to LAC," he said. Ground crew would be enlisted for fiveâ€"year terms, with one hundred per cent option on reâ€"enlistment for furâ€" ther periods.

The blame for a great majority of the labor disputes and impending labor disputes which are cropping up across Canada was placed squarely on the shoulders of the Federal Minister of Labor, Humphrey Mitchell, by Robert Carlin, ML.A., C.C.F., speaking at a special meeting held in the Union Hall in Timmins last night. "We are going to use all the lawâ€" ful methods within our power to see that wage increases are secured," Mr. Carlin stated, voicing. the workers‘ determination to get such increases. ‘"Unless the Minister of Labor beâ€" comes gincere and impartial and reâ€" cognizes the need for new and more adequate labor legislaition, there will be a labor chaos in the country," Mr. Carlin declared.

The 14 houses for which excavations have been started are located on a section of North Road where sewer and water mains are already available, and for a time it was feared the town might be held up by lack of materials needed to lay sewer and water lines throughâ€" out the development.
