Magna Carta Day in 1941 .is of greater significance than ever, and its observance should, it is urged, be use®d to reiterate the old truth that freedom must be won in every generation. Today, on distant batt/.lefields. on the sea, on land and in the air, youth is doing and dying to the end that freeâ€" dom may not disappear from the earth. On‘the home front the anniversary of the signing of Magna Carta is a reâ€" minder that here, too, the battle must be won. To this end churches, schools and organizations are, urged to do all in their power to mark the day. Much interest has been created in the United States, largely at the instance of the International Magna Carta Association which body asks for the widest possible use of the following ‘"Hymn of the Seven Nations" (written by Mrs. Josephine.Dodge Bacon of New York) to the march tune, Elgar‘s "Pomp and Circumstance."

Fred J. Ney, Executive Viceâ€"President Yours truly, Ci. H. Wilkinson, Lord Mayor Published at Tmmins, Ont., Canada Every MONDAY and THURSDAY Appeal Made for More and More Workers Now for Canadian Red Cross Recently appeal was made by the Timmins Branch of the Red Cros® for more workers with the special requpst that the work be speeded up rather than decreased during the summer months. Those who were leaving for the summer were asked to arrange substitutes to carry on, as the need is great and urgent. All that was said about the need for continued and increased work for the Red Cross applies not only to Timâ€" mins but to all Canada. Emphasis is given to this by the appeal this week from the Eastern Porcupine Red Cross to the women of the district. Mrs. R. E. Dye, chairman of the Women‘s Wautr Work Committee Eastern Porcupine District Branch Canadian Red Cross has sent out the letter given below toâ€" gether with a letter from the National Chairman, Mrs. Wallace Campbell. These appeals sum up the situation so fully and completely that they deserve the widest publicity as they apply to all branches of the Red Cross and all sections of Canada. Letter from Mrs. Dye to the Ladies of the Eastern Poreuâ€" pine District Red Cross Tells of the Need and Applies Not Only to the Red Cross District Addressed, but to All Canada. The situation is not difficult to. un«â€" derstand. It is easy to see that Britain means everything to the â€"defence of Canada, to the defence of freedom ana decency, in the world. That line 8t defendets inâ€" Britainâ€"soldier and civilian, man and woman, young and agedâ€"has stood firm against OUR »nemy. They have thrown their subâ€" stance and their lives in the breach to keep our homes and our way of Ilife secure, as one official of the Eastern Porcupine Red Cross has phrased it. ‘Surely, surely," he adds, "we are not going tq accept their sacrifice on our behalf without making some acknowâ€" ledgement of our gratitude. We have our homes, our rest, our relaxation, our regular mode of life, This is no tims® for excuse or tardiness. Every last one of us must get in there and help to the very limit of our ability. A great many of our ladies have reâ€" sponded valiantly and have not stintâ€" ed in their service from the very beâ€" ginning. Now, when the need is greater we are asking for additional help." The letter from Mrs. Dye and the appeal from Mrs. Campbell are given herewith:â€" ¢ An Appeal to the Ladies of the Easte®n Porcupitne District wWord has been received from Red Cross Headquarters that recent bomb ralds in Britain have resulted in the loss of large quantitiee of Red Oross supplies when one of the warehouses there was destroyed. Each Branch has been asked to do its utmost to promptly make good thne loss. The need is great and many more workers are required to enal#e this community to do its full share, as it surely wishes to do. Many people in the Old Land haye been bombed as many as three times and have long ago lost everything they have. We, in Canada, are forâ€" tunate in that we can still work withâ€" out the constant fear of bombs. we need many more workers for both sewing and knitting, if we are to do alt that we should do. The War Work Committee would like every woman in South Porcuptns and District to do what she can to help with the work asked for by Headquarters. The requirements are so urgent, and the need so great, that Headquarters have asked us to carry on through the summer without interruption. _ MaQiy articles are required for civilian needs and for Women‘s Auxiliary Forces in Britain in addition to the constant stream of hospital suppliecs and ari*â€" cles required by our fighting forces on land, sea and in the air. Artitles of many types are requirea. both sewn and knitted.. Please cali aAI the rooms and undertake some work. The â€" dies whoâ€"have been carrying on this work deserve a great deal of credit for their persistence and energy. More cannot beâ€"asked of them. What is required, is more help from a greai many more people. Please come in and lend a hand. Both sewers and kn:mâ€" ters are needed. A few hours a week devoted to Red Cross work on the part of many will accomplish wonders, The Red Cross Rooms are open eaC‘hn afternoon except Saturday from 2.00 to 5.00 and each evening from 700 to 10.00, except Saturday, during whi:en times a competent sewing covener is in charge who will be glad to assign work and give any help required. Any wishing to take sewing home may do so. A competent knitting convener is at the rooms on the same days from 200 to 5.00 in the afternoon and from 8.00 to 9.00 each evening. The conâ€" veners will be glad to give any assklâ€" ance which may be required. When work sent in to Headquar‘ers is not satisfactory, the Branch is n®1â€" fied so that mistakes may be remedied. This is done for both sewing and knitâ€" ting. Sofar our FEastern Porcupine District Branch has had no notificaâ€" tion of any faulty workâ€"for which our ladies may be justly proud. The War Work Committee would like every woman in South Porcupine and district to have a hand in meeting the constant and urgent appeals rec.fiived from Headquarters. Since writing the above appeal message has been received from Mrs. Wallace R. Campbell, National Chair«â€" man of the Women‘s War Work Comâ€" mittee, as follows: "An Appeal from the National Chairman" "The falling off of shipments of all supplics coming into the warehouse necessitates an appeal to branches to realize the need of immediate effort. The following is a message from Mrs. W. R. Campbell, National Chairman:â€"â€" Higned, Florence M. Dye, Chairman, Women‘s War Work Comâ€" mittee, EBastern Porcupine District Branch, The Canadian Cross Society, "As we have been fortunate enough to secure some additional shipping space for the month of June and are most anxious to get as much civilian clothing and knitted comforts overâ€" seas as can be possibly managed, will you urge your workers to redouble their efforts and ship everything you posâ€" gibly can to the Bay and Hayter Street Warehouse at your earliest convenlâ€" ence. "It is earnestly hoped that there will be no slackening on the part of our workers since the need grows more urgent houtly and since we must do our utmost to encourage the people of Britain by our gifts, which we knraw are being so gratefully received and which really mean so much more than just clothes. "We beseech Canadian women to rally to the cause of our brave defendâ€" ers and while we realize that it is a difficult time of year for many people, it should be remembered that for them the war is gathering momentum and for us it is little enough to give a few hours each day to a job we can still accomplish from the safety of comfortâ€" able workrooms or the shelter of our homes. "Women of the Red Cross! "Work â€" Knit â€" Sew â€" Pray! The men, women and children of Britain deser‘ve no less of us! "Bear in mind the message of Mrs. Winston Churchill, wife of the Prims Minister of Great Britain, to the wus men of the British Empire:â€" "The magnificent support and loyal coâ€"operation of the branches in the past makes us sure that this will be exceeded and surpassed in the months which lie ahead." From the above it will be seen that Three R. C. A. F. Planes Put on Show Over Town Tuesday "I beg you all, not for a week, not for a day, not for an hour, to relax buv make superhuman.efforts to surpass if possible what you have already done." Pass Over Timmins on Their Way to Manitoba and Put on Short Show. Three Royal Canadian Air Force trainer planes being flown west to Manitoba from Toronto passed over Timmins about nine o‘clock on Tuesâ€" day morning. The planes had stopped at the Kapuskasing airport and had arranged to pass over Timmins on the way out. As they flew in formation over the town they put on a show for lot of the townspeople who were on their way to work. They would dive down and level off just over the rooftops and speed along. They â€"crissâ€"crossed over the different streets of the town and then headed out west again on their way to Manitoba. The planes didn‘t spend more than five or ten minutes in Timmins.
