Then in the political field Kari Eyre had himself a time too. Worried over the fact that he hadn‘t been notâ€" ified of a meeting Oof the Liberal exeâ€" cutive for Cochrane Riding the Mayor prompily put his oar in and pulled.~ "It isn‘t deimocratic," he said, "Who chose these delegates?" Emile Brunette and Greg Evans had announced to the press that they were going to the Liberal Convention. Then the fun began. Everyone took w»p the chorus and it wasn‘t any Greek chorus. Worried frowns greeted the mews that (GGreg and Emile were to journey to Otiawa at the Party‘s pense. Timmins Townâ€"Council .tooka «rect this week but Karl Evyre, the mayor. was leaping about the pages of the dgailly press concerning himsel{ about politics and the production of butterâ€" fat on his farm. The press said his farm produced 300. pounds of butter, a day, which Karl Evyre had to admit was a mighty lot of butter. Mayor Gets Mixed Up A Bit In Butterfat And Politics _ Karl Eyre was firm.: There was to be a meeting and delegates would be chosen and instructed, in the way that they "They wculdn‘t be worth a tinker‘s (pardon the expression) D. . .If we didn‘t know how they were going to vyoto," said His Worship. Greg Evans explained it this way. Joe Bradette he .said, had sent the ercdentia‘ls for one delegate and an alâ€" ternate, and later he sent credentials for thre» delegates asd three alterâ€" pat:s. "I wasn‘t so interested in goâ€" ing down," said Greg, "I was just fillâ€" ing in as an alternate in case they couldn‘t get ancther delegate. I was neevr a delegate," Greg said. "Emile was tlhe mast logical choice." ing in eouldn During the heat wave which chased Timmins citizens to the beaches last Saturday and Sunday, the giris above at the summer skating schoo!l, McIntyre Arena, have been able to keep cool enough.

C ap ui ts on ho en Mayor E\re gneeted t.he news that be was a delogate with mss asisal abâ€" lomb. â€" Although he was still of the opinion that a meeting should have been called to instruct the delegates to the convention, Mayor Evre was pleased that he had been chosen to represent the party he had worked for and resâ€" pected. "I won‘t be going to the convention," Greg Evans anncunced. "I was mereâ€" ly serving as an aliternate anyway." He named Ed. Callaghan as the third delâ€" egate and said that he (Greg) would be an alternate in case one of the cther members couldn‘t make it. Old Liberals were pessimist‘c about the shouting but it showed that the old party could work up a sweat when its members were worried about the cemociktic performance within the party. It was a healthy sign, but the big question was still unanswibred: Would there be a meeting for the deleâ€" gates to make their various stands and was the election of the delegates acâ€" cording to Hovle or was the Liberal Party, in Timmins losing its once strong grip? 4 "Both of them are good men and deâ€" serve the job. . .Gardiner, well, I‘m not so sure that he would be the man to lead the party."

John Nikala Funeral At South Porcupine | RAIL STRIKE SHOWS TRUCK LINE NEEDED IN NORTH COUNTRY T‘he most talked about Labor Column Ever Printed On the Editorial Page A :D INSIDE LABOR EVERY WEEK by Victor Riesel Truck Line From Toronto Would Improve Roads And Bring Prosperity To North As one travels the Northern highâ€" ways at night you never see a string of trucks heading for the towns loaded with freght â€" fosd and supplies. The truck driver and the truck driver‘s haven where thevy make their stopâ€" overs for gas and chow are not part of the Iccal color of the North. The chugging gasoline truck or the steady punmâ€"pum®ot "tne "atesertruck are not heard in the Nerthern nights. The lesson to be learned from tre rail strike was the fact that Timmins needed truck lines or at least one good truck line to supplement the railroad and keep the goods moving. _A truck line would have many good effects parâ€" ticularly in the food line. According to Town officials P. C. V. licerses have been apulied for but the Ontario government has been slow in granting them. Whether this a runâ€" around by the Ontario government beâ€" cause it owns the railway or whether it is a matter of the town fahers not pushing the matter hard enough, no one seems to be sure. By pushing through the deal and having a truck line in the North it would do two things. First it would mean that perishables would get through faster with less handling, and second, that it would improve the highways. The Northerners have much to say about, the highwav situation without realizing that the amount of traffic on the highways is still quite limited and won‘t be improved until they learn to build good highways mup h‘re anq highways won‘t be built until there are truck lines and bus lines that will create a real need for good highways and deâ€" mand them. One gcod truck line into Timmins would do more toward gettirng good moads than several petitions, good though they may be. And the truck line would imprové the Northland no end._ . If the railway strike had begun, Timâ€" mins would have beon isolated. As yet there is only a P.C. V. license for furniture vans from Toronto to Timâ€" mins even the beer trucks which haunt the Scuthern roads aren‘t seen on the Northern H‘ghways. When it â€"was announced that the last loads of potatoes and vegetables were scheduled that really worried them more than anyth‘ ng. Timmins has been a railway town since its beginning and now at a population of 27,000 was to feel the gpinch. They realized that they should have had a truck line to the larger centres for a long time. The rail strike had been "a near thing. The town of Timmins officials were quite worried about the food sitâ€" uati‘n and they cors‘dered themselves lucky that it wasn‘t winter when they would have to worry also about fuel. A few palm trees and this might be a beach on some tropical isle but it happens to be Amkerite Beach where Timmins picnicers love to go on a Sunday afternoon or any afternoon of the week. MacDonald Lake is one of the best bathing spots in the North and presents a beautiful scene just as the sun sinks in the Northâ€"West during? the summer months. Belonging to the Buffalo Ankerite mine, the beach has a regular lifeguard and good diving stands and beach equipment. the Ontario gcovernment should be had begun, Timâ€" n isolated. As C.

An effective speaker, Deaâ€" con Aceti is often likened to the Torâ€" onto fireâ€"eater, Dr. T .T. Shields, in his manner of delivery, althoug his biases would not lend him to such a comparison. w.tholding the P .C. V. license because they fear competition to their own railâ€" way, they are indeed short sighted. Before the rucks sarted to roll to evâ€" ery nock and crany of Southern Onâ€" tario the amount of goods sold in the towns were limited to bare necessities. Today the railways are busier than ever and there are more than a hunâ€" dred truck lines pushing of Torâ€" onto every night. More likely the crux of the matter lies in the fact that no company or grounp has gone after the matter in a firm enough manner to get a reaction from the government. he Brought to Canada in July 1947, by the Canadian Government for woods iobs with the Power and Paper Compâ€" any, these men undertook to remain in Thank You for Right To Live in a Country That Keeps Promise Say Thankful D.P.‘s A truck line is ,definitely- reeded in this townâ€"â€"let us go after it, and get it!

A woman stood beâ€" fore him a poor woman who hadn‘t a cert to nay her bus fare. She tried to explain what had happend. She had placed the money in this pocket... but...The bus driver scoffed at the idea., He was a bright fellow and didn‘t fall for these dames giving him the runaround.
