Kirkland Man Given Two Years Less Day The shortages had occurred over a pericd of six years, with the amounts averaging $2000.

The covering of the pipes had taker fire and the smoke almost overpowered the man with the thawinzg apparatus.

A pleasing feature arising from the fire was the fact that the fire chief received a letter from the proprietor of the store, thanking the boys and giving them praise for their quick and efficient work.

Longworth, McLellan, Comment by Newspaper on Cartoon in Financial Post (From Bowmanville Statesman) ‘"Hello Canada! This is Uncle Sam speaking to you over your own national hookâ€"up." These words appenr below clever and timely cartoon, in the Finâ€" ancial Post, of Uncle Sam speaking over CBC microphone. Outside of the glass encased studio may be seen the figures of Canadian speakers, educaâ€" tionists, musicians and other artists who have been forced from the Canaâ€" dian airlines, and manager CGladstonce Murray of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, pointing a finger at them to be quiet while Uncle Sam is speakâ€" ing. At the time of the Royal Commisâ€" sion, headed by Sir John Aird, was investigating radio, evidence was preâ€" sented from all parts of Canada of the growing danger of Americanization of Canadian speech, Canadian manners, and the Corporation was brought into being to offset this United States penetration. Now we find the Corâ€" poratior: actually selling 43 per cent. of its time to these same interests. taken up with American programmes, and the low point is reached on Sunday when 37% of the time is given over to the American programmes. Imagine this condition when it will be recalled that the Corporation came into existâ€" ence for the avowed purpose of Canaâ€" dianizing the air. The Corporation has seemingly igâ€" nored the fact that many Canadians can tune in to American stations just as> easily as they can Canadian staâ€" ticns, and that if they so desire they can listen to American â€"programimes without paying the Corporation a $2.50 license for them to subsidize these proâ€" grammes at the expense of programmes originating in Canada over indepenâ€" dent stations. Few psople realize tine extent to which the Corporation has sold out to American interests, Nearest to local people is the new commission station CBL .which replaced the Bowmanville station CRCT. R. A. Farquarson of The Financial Post made a survey and found out that CBL features American criginated programmes for 44.3% of its time on the air. ~It reaches the peak on Saturdays when 53.1% of the time is Canadians are now forced to get dressed to American music, breakfast to an American orchestra, listen to the latest news and offitial time from Washington and by 10.30 a.m. the good housewife is supposed to be ready to learn how to bring up her children in the American way. Week ago Saturday C.B.L. featured a solid blocck of American programmes extending from nearly morning until ncon, and heaven knows how many .of the records playsd, as sustaining feaâ€" tures, were made in the United States. Abcout the cnly way one can tell a Canadian station now is to hear the National Anthem, and even that is no sure proof for it might as well be "My Country Tis of Thee" that is being played to the same tune. Slot Machine is Seized by Police The National Broadcasting Company in an anncuncement of its "Canadian Supplementary Facilities" boasts of the way it has secured coverage over Canâ€" adian stations. The C.B.C. claims it cannot afford to compete with American programmes and so throws its hands in the air and decides to do the next best thing, turn the Canadian air over to Ameriâ€" cans and reap encugh income to offâ€" set the deficit. The Corporation forâ€" gets that Canadian newspapers and magazines are with similar comâ€" petition from imported American magâ€" azines, but the fighting, loyal Canaâ€" dian publishers face this opposition and gain strength in the struggle to present Canadian ideas and ideals. Weekâ€"end Brings Three Serâ€" ious Charges for Violation of L. C. A. Chief Leo H. Gagnon and Inspector A.â€"M. Olson, seized a slot machine in a store at 315 Pine street south, at 11.15 this morning, in the course of a police raid. The store is operated by Frank Marscorin and is located in the part of the town recently annexed from Tisdale township, â€"where slot machines are operated under lisence. Marscorin will face a charge in police court on Tuesâ€" day. Police had a busy weekâ€"end and in addition to a number of drunk charges, three other charges have been laid for more serious infrazstions of the L.C.A. Tony Krazc, a roomer at 111 Elm street north, is charged with illegal possession, the premises having been declared a public place some tlime ago by Magistrate Atkinson. Joseph Cecchini, 109 Laidlaw stree‘, was arrested at 4.10 am. toâ€"day and was charged with being drunk in charge of a car. ‘Albano Andrighetti, who was with Cecchizri at the time, is charged with disorderly conduct.

The music of "Green Cheese" is its most attractive feature. Harmonious tunes and lilting airs ocâ€" cur in abundance. Solos, duets, trios, and choruses give full scope to the amazing vocal talent of many of the pupils. Mr. Roy, the musical director of the schcol, after several months of painstaking work, has raised the musicâ€" al parts to such a high standard of excellence that those in charge of the other divisions have been hard pressed to keep pace with him.

The fire was discovered at 7.30 p.m. while several of the staff, it is underâ€" stood, were engaged in checking over the stock. Smoke was noticed coming from the lower part of the building and suddenly flames shot up the elevator shaft, reaching the top floor where exâ€" tensive stocks of toilet and tissue paper were kept. The flames were soon through the roof, 30 feet high, with both the Noranda town fire brigade and that of the Noranda Mine fighting the blaze with streams of water from seven lines of hose. The upper part of the building was impengetrable through dense smoke. The George Taylor Hardware buildâ€" ing next to that of Gambleâ€"Robinson was untouched, in fact the fire was completely confined to the one buildâ€" ing.. Firemen were on guard all night patrolling the interior with flashlights to watch for any further outbreak. While quantities of the stock became watersoaked it is believed a fair amount can be salvaged. Little is left of the roof though the machine house on top of the building did not collapse, but is leaning at an angle of 45 degrees. The cellar of the building which has an area of 3500 square feet, had seyâ€" eral feet of water in it the following morning with much of the stock sub« merged. No estimate could be obtained last week from Manager Eddie Bull as to the extent of‘ damage to building and merchandise in dollars and cents, but it might approach the $10,000 mark. The brigades were still playing water on the building well past midnight with their waterproc{s stiffened with ice as the spray from the hose settled on them. Everything froze solid with the forming ice cementing the hose and other equipment to whatever it touchâ€" ed.
