And also they probably chose their men. Tlimmins did not want to have to choose men out of whom the most work could be obtained. In order to safeguard wives and families the town wanted to be able to take all. With regard to the request about the employment azsency and tnansferring the selection of men from the agency to a ‘"responsible member of the Board of Works," the Mayor said that tFz council was, at present, endeavorâ€" inz to revamn» the whole system of hirâ€" AilY mine Mayor Partleman also had a reply for the rezolution regarding sewer conâ€" nections.â€" If the town spread the cost of making connections from a main ‘o a lot over a of months it would be similar to a loan to the lot owner. In that case the town would nave to take a mortgage on his propâ€" erty. Under the Home Improvement Plan, said the Mayor, a man could borrow money from the bank at a rate cheaper ‘han that which he would get it from the town. Furthermore, he did not have to mcrtgage his property. Mr. Lafontaine then changed, his tactics. Why did not the town put sewer connections in when it laid mains in new stree‘s, he asked? The Mayor had him stymied there too. Why should the town put in connections in rnew street; when they might not be used for ysears? It was burying the taxpayers‘ money and not putting it to use. said the Mayor. "They all work for vouchers, under the relief system." Thwarted at every turn, Mr. Lafonâ€" taine asked about the salary for Mr. Dunn. He understood that Mr. Dunn had been paid his full salary over the periecd of his long illness. Why was not employment insurance institu‘ed to do away with such a thing? Why was something not done? They Mayor had the jump on the League Secretary. Something had been Mr. Lafontaine‘s grievance was that the town was not paying relief workers that amount. He understood Tisdale ‘= councii was, at pres2gnt, cnucayIlâ€" g to revamp the whole system of hirâ€" g men. It wanted to institute a sysâ€" m such as was in force at Kirkland ake.

"Wolf‘s Side of the Story"â€"Terrytoon Jerry Poulin, in a very angry mcood, took up the time of the council with a harangue which lasted half an hour. It came to an end only when Counâ€" cillor McNeill reminded the speaker that he was speaking to the Timmins town council and nct io the League of Nations. Edmonton Journal: An apiarist veâ€" toes any suggestion of a stinglers bee. His argument is irresistible, Expose defenceless bees to attacks of other inâ€" sects and soon there would be no bees. Preparedness and armaments, is is clear, are necessary even in the insect world if the race is to survive. Principal theme of Poulin‘s dissertaâ€" tion was that the hiszshâ€"salaried man had the advantage over the low wage earner. That, he said, was proven by the case of Mr. Dunn, who was paid for five months when he was not at work. Heads of depariments could be sick or off on pleasure trips and still get paid, he alleged. The "working man‘ did not get those privelges. Legally, said Councillor Armsirong, the ccuncil had no alternative but to give Mr. Montzomery two months notâ€" ice. When it was decided to take action it was well on into one month. Notice had to be given from the end of that month. The crown attorney told the council that it would have to pay Mr. Montzomery‘s wages until March 10. Another grievance was that two months notice had ‘( been given the former town clerk, Mr. H. E.

Doing Noteworthy Work The problem of night calls has beâ€" come rather sericus and will require careful and constant consideration. In this branch we have responded in ons month to more night calls than are answered during an sntire year by branches with as many as seven nurses. Last year we had 147 nisht calls for confinements, and 207 for other cases, averaging practically one call a night. Although Miss Sherritt and I take such calls night about, it often happens that we both have to go out on the same night. We try to get relief nurses when we need them, but they are not always available. Last year we used relief nurses to the extent of 643 hours, or three months. This year a concertâ€" ed effort is being made to eliminate night calls other than those for conâ€" finements of emergencises. In passing, we should perhaps explain that any call reseived betwesen 5 o‘clock at night and 8 o‘clock the next morning is conâ€" sidered a night call.

Lapalme‘s car was ordered impounded for three months. Police Constable Guolla said that he and Mr. A. R. Hubert were driving in the police car when a truck passed them on the Mattagami Boulevard. When the truck was about 200 yards ahead of them it went into the ditch on a turn. As it went into the ditch it brushed another truck coming in the opposite direction. The second truck was towinz a third one. The defence adimitted that the acâ€" cused was under the influence of liâ€" quor but an array of witnesses testiâ€" fied that he was not the driver of the car, Accusing Sam Neveu, one of the witnesses, who said that he and not Lapalme was the driver, of trying to put something over on the court, Magâ€" istrate Atkinson complimented Laâ€" palme on his truthfuiness on the stand. He parked the police car behind the truck and watched Sam Neveu and two other men trying to push it and rock it out of the ditch, said Consiable Guâ€" olla. Finally he went over. Another witness for the defence, Noel Brien, also said that Neveu was the driver. . When Neveu got out after the accident, said Brien, Lapalme stayed inside on the right hand side of the seat. Similar testimony was given by Pierro Morin. On the stand Mr. Lapalme said that he asked Neveu to drive when he did not feel able to do so after coming cut of the hotel. He was not at the wheel, he said, when Neveu got out of the truck. He did not know whether or not the keys were left in the car. "If the constable‘s evidence is true there is no doubt that the man was in charge of the car," said Magistrate Atâ€" kinson. "He could have done a lot of harm." He imposed sentence of ten days and later remanded the sentence for a week. "He has had a lot of trouble down there," said Crown Atitorney Caldbick. Magistrate Atkinson agreed and disâ€" missed the charge of threatening after Miss Robitaille admitted that she was not afraid of Baleck now but only when he had been drinking. He told the acâ€" cused to pay Miss Robitaille $10 wages he owed her for the time she worked in February. Only a Push Two aged men, Joseph Nadon and J. B. Clement were involved in an assault charge which was dissmissed. Mr. Clement said that Mr. Nadon hit him on the jaw when he disputed with him about wages. Mr. Nadon denied. He only took him by the arm and put him out of his shop, he said. Toronto Star: Vitamins are having a nonâ€"stop tour around the world. Soviet Russia now has a factory excluâ€" sively devoted to the production of vitamins in liquid and tablet form for general consumption. It is reported that during 1938 the factory turned out 62 million doses of antiâ€"scurvy vitamin C, in addition to other concentrates. The Russians claim to> have mastered the processes of production of a liquid concentrate of vitamin C with sugar which is pleasant to the taste and keeps well, Mr. Hubert said that he saw Lapalme step out of the truck on the driver‘s side when the Constable walked over. The motor was running. "That is probably what happened," said the Crown. Magistrate Atkinson disinissed the charze. When he got over to the truck Laâ€" palme was driving and, said the conâ€" stable, "he was drunk." The motor was running at the time, the constable added. Neveu got out after the minor accident and left Lapalme in the truck. The position was, interjected‘ the Marzistrate, that when Neveu got out, he left the keys in the truck and Laâ€" palme in charge. If the evidence of the Constable was correct and the truck was being driven back and forth to get it out of the ditch, then Laâ€" palme must have been in charge. Mr. Baleck laughed depreciatingly throughout Miss Robitaille‘s testimony. Once he interrupted to deny. Four men were each given the alterâ€" native of $10 and costs or thirty days in jail, when convicted of drunkenness. Ambrose Miron was charged with being drunk, a second offence. His fine was $50 and costs or thirty days. Three speeders‘ were fined $10 and costs and one driver was given the same fine for overloading a truck. Police said that Lloyd Fulson caused a disturbance in a local dance hall by shouting and swearing. When told to go home he refused. Ten dollars and costs or 30 days was the penalty. He met Lapalme coming out of the Riverview Hotel, said Sam Neveu. Laâ€" palme asked him to drive his car and Not So Afraid Marie Robitaille said that she had been working for Baleck. He told her that he did not want her there any more and threatened to kill her. "I‘ll kill the whole bunch of you. I am goâ€" inz to kill all of you tonigzht," â€"he said in3 TO to het
