The only serious case tried at police court here on Tuesday of this week was a charge against another conscientious objector. There was only one other man sentenced to jail without the opâ€" tion of a fine at that session of court and this second man was only given one day in jail,. There was another man. however, who had the option of a $50. fine or thirty days in jail and he took the jail term instead of paying up. The charge against this latter man was that he was a second offense drunk. Sixty Day Term for Conscientious Objector on Tuesday Maurice Boyce, who comes from thei Connatuight or Hoyle areas was the conâ€" scientious objector. S. C. Platus, KC., appeared for the prosecution and Mr. Pelletier, of the National Selective Serâ€" vice Mobilization Division was the chief witness against Boyce. It was shown that Boyce, being called for military service was given the usual exemption as a conscientious objector, but was reâ€" quired to take other work in place of military service,. Like others of his kind he would not accept the opportunity given him to work at work in no way connected with the war. As a conseâ€" auence of this he was ordered to report at Chalk River Experimental Farm for! farm labour there. Transportation was sent him for this purpose, but he simply would not go. In the witness stand he gave the usual spiel about taking his orders only fromâ€" Almighty God, but like others previously convicted he did not deny the fact that the real reason he wanted to be free was that he could "preach the word" where and he liked. He rather startled the ‘spectators at court when he seemed to say that he had a brother in a concenâ€" tration camp in Germany, but when he was checked up on this by the magisâ€" trate it appeared that what he actually was trying to say was that his "breâ€" thren"â€"other conscientious objectorsâ€" were in German prison camps for reâ€" fusing work for the country. Magistrate Atkinson made no comment on this case further than to imposing. sentence of sixty days in jail, with the added proâ€" vision that at the exporation of the term the prisoner be delivered to the Chalk River Experimental Farm. For failing to "reâ€"register, Claude Gravelle was sentenced to one day in jail, then to be taken to the recruiting contre at North Bay. ‘ Omer Beauchamp was charged with illegally having loose gasoline coupons in his possession. He pleaded not guilâ€" ty, but the RCM.P., as usual had its case well prepared. It was shown that Beauchamp had in his possession a gasoline ration book holding some couâ€" pons, but also having a number of loose coupons that did not appear to belong to the book. When asked where he got these looss coupons, the accused replied that he found them. "$50 and costs or thirty days," said Magistrate Atkinson. Beauchamp paid the fine. A local man was ordered to pay $5.00 a week towards the support of his child. He claimed that he could not pay more than $12 per month, but the magistrate advised him to try and pay the $5.00 per week ordered. A young man accused of assaulting his own mother with intent to do bodâ€" ily harm was allowed to go as the Cletk of theXCogrt of Revision. mother did not appear to proceed with the case. A charge of speeding brought a fine of $10. and costs. In juvenile court a boy was the School for Boys at Alfred ing a charge of theft. Officers Installed at Porcupine 0. E.

Nothing so interesting has ever come to the churches of Cochrane presbytery before. Never give in, never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty â€" never give in except to conâ€" victions of honor and good sense. Never yvield to force, never yield to the apâ€" parently overwhelming might of the enemy. If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future. This is no war of domination or imâ€" perial aggrandizement or material gain â€" no war to shut any country out of its sunlight and means of progress. It is a war to establish on impregnable rocks the rights of the individual, and it is a war to establish and revive the stature of man. The lendâ€"lease bill must be regarded without question as the most unsordid act in the whole of recorded history. If we are together, nothing is impos. sible. If we are divided, all will fail.

First Class Warrant Officer John Shaw, who is just completing a two weeks‘ leave at his home here, says that the Chief E.R.A. on the corvette "Timmins", named after this town, sent a message from Halifax to the people of Timmins. W.O. Shaw happened to meet this Chief just before he left on his leave and mentioned the fact that he was going to Timmins on leave. "Tmmins!" said the Timmins obicer, "You‘re gong to Timmins, eh? Well, tell the good folks there that we apâ€" preciate very much the radio and other happys gifts from Timmins, but we cerâ€" tainly would like to hear from them oftener. Sometimes, we are afraid that the people of Timimins have forgotten the ship that bears their name. When sailors come into port it‘s great to have parcels and letters from the town that father‘s the names of the sailor‘s ship. | You don‘t know how good it makes the sailor feel to know that the people who sponsored his ship remember him and are still interested." Well, there‘s something for the people of Timmins to think over. The work that is being done by Hâ€"M.C.S. Tiimmins, or even the location of the corveite can not be given, but it is the fact that Time moves quickly and the men and women in the Armed Forces overseas them is in money, don‘t wait . . . go are apt to be transferred to new locations.

Women‘s Auxiliary of Mackay Church Plan Tea Navy Week to be Observed from Nov. 21st to Nov. 27th. "Ashore and afioat the Navy League cares for the sailors." This is the sloâ€" gan adopted for Navy Week which will be held from November 21 to 27 inclusâ€" ive. During Navy Week public attenâ€" tion will be focused on the men of our gallant Navy and Merchant Navy and the work of the Navy League aâ€" mong them. The Navy League of Canada was orâ€" ganized in 1917 under a federal charter. It operates 22 hostels, clubs and enâ€" tertainment centres. Last year it was estimated that more than two million men were cared for by the Navy League. The greatest need is for knitted comâ€" forts, magazines, books and right now, ditty bags. Last year the Navy League distributed 103,450 ditty bags to sailors, and this year 150,000 will be required. Scarves, socks, sweaters and warm knit. ted caps are needed now to keep the sailors warm in the cold North Atlantic storms. Remember the dates; November 21 to 27 inclusive â€" for Navy Week, the ship Timmins is worthily bearing the name of the town, Timmins, and this Timmins does not forget the men in the Timmins on the sea. Parcels or letters addressed to HM.CS. Timmins Base Post Office, will reach the ship at any time. § T A B LIS H ED 18 i7 CAMPBELL, Managet to our nearest branch and send them It is quick and inexpensive if your "Merry Christmas"" to Funeral of Harvey Geddes Held on Monday, Nov. 8th Death of Mrs. M.
