The fifty per cent. reduction in the number of accidents at McIntyre in 1938 appears to be almost entirely diue to a greater interest on the part of the miners in their own and their fellowâ€" workers‘ safety. The MciIntyre Safety Awards and the big Prize Draw for Safety Prizes to be held at McIntyre Park on Monday afternoon, August have been big helps in securing the needed interest in mine safety. In addition to the big Field Day, Mcâ€" Intyre miners will thus celebrate Civic Holiday on Monday, with their reguâ€" lar pay allowed, the safest year so far in McIintyre mining; with the low acâ€" cident record of 1937 cut in half, and no McIntyre miner so far in 1938 so seriously injured as to prevent him from returning to his regular work.

Starting with the opening item on the proâ€" gramme at 9 o‘clock, there will be a very interesting programme, with someâ€" thing doing every minute. In addition to the sports, contests, races, etc., there will be a number of novelties. Other years the McIntyre field day has been one of the big events of the year and this year it is expected to even surpass past successes. The programme for Monday, August l1st, will include:â€" Foot races, bicycle races, children‘s races, log sawing, water sports, baseâ€" ball, football, etc. Another feature to be repeated on Monday will be the clowns, with new costumes, new and old tricks and laugh provoking stunts and fun. A big feature of the day will be the Safety Award draw for $500, at 4.15 p.m. Balloons, tea, coffee, ice cream, meals served on the grounds all day. A nominal fee is charged for general admission, but those from Timmins, South Porcupine and the district round about who attend this big day will adâ€" mit that it is the biggest halfâ€"dollar‘s worth of sports and entertainment that has been enjoyed in any one day for years. While the event is primarily for McIntyre employees and their families, a hearty invitation is extended to all in the district to enjoy this happy event. McIntyre employees are admitâ€" ted free, and the children of McIntyre employees are not only welcomed, but they are treated generously. Part of the "treat" is in the supply of free ice cream, soft drinks, candy bars, etc. While there are special features for the enjoyment of the children, adults will also find it a particularly big day. Unusually good games of football and baceball are expected for the occasion. There is football at 10 o‘clock in the morning, and the soccer fans will find this well worth a comparatively early rising. Spccial attention has been given to baseball. There will be both senior and junior baseball,. At 4.30 p.m. there will bke a Temiskaming Baseball Leagiue fixtureâ€"Hollinger versus McIntyreâ€" and all will get their full money‘s worth from this part of the programme. The junior hbaseball is scheduled for 6.30 p.m. The junior teams to play are Timmins and. Schumacher. To give a fitting climax to the happy day, there is to be a dance, commencing at 9 p.m., with the best of music, and continuing to the early hours of the following morning.

Swastika T. N. O. station now sports a regular "Red Cap" like any other big city. Peter Mayhew, aged 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Mayhew, of Swastika, is the official "Red Cap" and he has a smart new uniform, blue with white trimmings and brass butâ€" tons. And, of course, the regular offiâ€" cial red cap. It seems that all this year young Peter, who is small for his age, but unusually alert and active, has been doing faithful service at the Swastika station as a "Red Cap"â€"takâ€" ing caroe of travellers‘ baggage, doing etc. His efficient activities came to the attention of Mr. Walter Little, M.P., who recently presented him with the handsome uniform he now wears. Peter has himself secured a red cap to complete the outfit and to qualify literally as well as practically as a "Red Cap." Claim Tag Permit Given Communists One of the instances mentioned by Mr. Gauthier was the building and reâ€" placing of wooden bleachers and other additions at Timmins ball park withâ€" out work Another alleged infraction which was drawn to the attention of council was a wooden roof on a garage built by Dr. H. L. Minthorn within the fire zone. Ccoluncillor Eyre pointed out that the byâ€"law calls for corrugated iron and Assistant Town Engineer Kelman told the mseting that he understood that iron had heen specified when the perâ€" mit was taken out. Property Damaged Mrs. L. Tessier, Hemlock street, comâ€" plained to council that water from reâ€" cent rains diverted by a group of Holâ€" linger houses had caused $500 to her property. The public works committes will investigate the case. In conrnection with the additions at the ball park, Councillor Bill Roberts admitted that the work had been finâ€" ished before a permit was taken out. Those in charge had regretted the oversight and a permit was subsequentâ€" ly granted. Ask for Waterworks A petition was received from eleven residents at the north end of Toke streset asking for water services in that section. The matter was referred to the water works committee for conâ€" sideration. This army, she says, "is trained by 10 years of warfare in fighting tactics against a foe a hundred times its strengsth. It will never fight in posiâ€" tional warfare alone. It has a marchâ€" ing capacity of two hundred li a dayâ€" about seventy milesâ€"and is probably the swiftest army on earth. Its men are workers and peasants inured to the dsepest and most bitter hardships of life. It is also an army so thorodughâ€" ly trained politically that it is a solid, united, disciplined block and, I believe, indestructible. Each man, from the actual front fighter to the hsiao kweys (litt‘e devils) in the rear, knows exactly what and why he fights." The Red Army, moreover, is doing more than any other organization to awaken the people of China, according to Miss Smedley, mainly because this army is close to the people and infiniteâ€" ly patient in dealing with their fears, ignorance and superstition. Referring to the complaint that poor people are being discriminated against, Councillor Wren drew Mr. Gauthier‘s att>ntion to the fact that the woman who had been given permission to build a wooden verandah in the fire zone was in needy circumstances and also claimed that the additions at the ball park were made mainly for the pleasure and comfort of the general public who attend games there.

I have never known of a murâ€" der case to be taken over and solved lby an amateur. Murder cases aren‘t | broken by a series of brain waves; their solving is often the result of a patient drudgery that the inspiration boys wouldn‘t dream of going through." It‘s long, patient questioning of susâ€" pects which reveals most, Mrs. Sullivan insists. She isn‘t much moved by newsâ€" paper exposures of the "third degree." It doesn‘t often happen, she holds; and there is a legitimate basis for questionâ€" ing a man until, tired and at bay, he falters into revealing admissions. Taunted on Age Woman Was ' Trapped l There was a middleâ€"aged matron who had shot and killed her young lover, evidently because he had grown tired of her.

From Waukegan Mr. Clifton visited the coâ€"operative developments in Nova Scotia, at Antigonish, Glace Bay, Reâ€" serve, Sydney, Sydney Mines, Baddeck, and other Cape Breton centres of acâ€" tivity, where the movement has extendâ€" ed beyond credit union and coâ€"operaâ€" tive store to coâ€"operative housing, medicine, stock breeding, and where they are now working on coâ€"operative electrification in rural areas. Mr. Clifton attended the summe»r school held by the Coâ€"operative Society for Recreational Education at Wauâ€" kegan, Tllinois, which was attended by leaders in coâ€"operative education from the United States and Canada. One of the seven directors of the society is a Canadian, FPather Gillis from Reâ€" serve Mines, NS. Mrs. Sullivan is altogether skeptical concerning poisonâ€"needle white slavers who are supposed to drug young girls on the street or in a theatre by jabâ€" bing a needle into their arms, then bundling the fainting victim into taxiâ€" cab. Police records show that no case of a poison needle ever was substantiatâ€" ed. On his way home, Mt. Clifton studâ€" ied the movement in Quebec and Montâ€" real and Toronto, where considerable development has been taking place reâ€" cently, and had a conference with the Dominion Housing director in Ottawa relative to the coâ€"operative housing project contemplated in Timmins. Girls go wronz most often, Mrs. Sulâ€" livan holds, when their parents try to keep them in after 10 o‘clock, when they have no allowance for spending money, when Papa shouts at them beâ€" ceuse they use rouge or frizz their hair. More than once she investigated a case where a stern father wanted his daughâ€" ter sent to a home for wayward girls, and concluded that she would rather lock up the parent than the child. As she tells her story in "My Double Life", her job seems to have been that of a glorifired social worker, although she was the only woman to serve on the Homicide Squad. She worked on the sensational Rosenthalâ€"Becker case and was assigned to live with Dago Frank‘s Rosle, and to try to locate the two Lillies who, in days before the word "gun moll" had been coined, were the gun molls of Gyp the Blood (a dandy who had his hands manicured every day) and Lefty Louie.

That is how The Star‘s Korah corâ€" respondent appears to feel about the township‘s cows ang the highway trafâ€" fic regulations, except that he shifts the ground a bit. "Cows," he says, "can‘t be expected to pick a living and study the statutes too." But that‘s just the rub. More and more the chief end of a man is getting to be the study of statutes and the endeavour to avoid fines and penalties. The trouble with civilization is that it‘s altogether too complicated. The cows of Korah township are philâ€" osophical creatures and just ignore these causes of stress and strain. But it isn‘t as simple as all that for human beings. (Sault Ste.

With the Spanish Government Army on the Ebro River Front, July 26 (AP) â€"The Government offensive in Northâ€" castern Spain today drove a wedge twelve miles deep into insurgent ground. The main road west from Mora de Ebro, the jumpingâ€"off place of the ofâ€" fensive, to Dandesa, the immediate objective, was littered with material left by insurgents in their flight. Pushing west from the Ebro River valley into sandy wastelands over terâ€" ritory left by insurgent troops in their headlong flight, Government forces struck from three sides toward Ganâ€" desa on a sixteenâ€"mile front. Their advance guard tonight passed | that town, insurgent military headâ€" quarters in the region, without atâ€" tempting to occupy the city. Insurâ€" gent forces unleashed a savage arrial counterâ€"attack against the Governâ€" ment‘s ground forces in an effort to block the offensive, but failed to break the movement. The campaign settled down to a conâ€" flict between Government infantry and insurgent planes with Government troops holding the upperhand so far. Prisoners Taken The troops crouched in trenches and under trees as insurgent raiders came overhead and then resumed the push. All towns in the path of the offensive on the west bank of the river, including Asco, Mora de Ebro and Benisanet, were occupied. In the triangular area covered by Government lines, staff officers said beâ€" tween 5,000 and 6,000 prisoners, all Spanish, were taken.
