Six convictions on charges of speed- ing drew sentences of $10 and costs or ten days in jail. Four drtniks were fmed $10 and costs with the alternative of thirty days and in the case of one second offender the fine was made $50 with the same alter- native. years.

Many Minor Cases Baptiste Menard was given the alter- native of a fine of $10 and costs or ten days in jail on a conviction for dis- orderly conduct. Included in the past. count, record of Nelson Decorpey was a charge of army desertion. He was sent to jail for thirty days on a charge of vagrancy. During the year cars from all over the continent. visit Timmins. but it is, unusual indeed, likely a recordâ€"to have cars from as far away as Georgia and Michigan visit 'I‘immins as early- as this in the year. Indeed. in most other years it would be impossible to get through. This year, however. the high- way all the Way from North Bay to Tmun'ms has been kept ploughed and mm. and the time the road has been blocked could be counted in hours. Sergeant Downey said that Robar got out of his car when he spied him and that he was so drunk that he could not walk across the street. Illegal Liquor A fine of $100 and costs with the alternative of three months in jail was imposed upon Charles Touq-uet, who pleaded guilty to a charge of being in possession of liquor illegally. Pro- vincial Constable Worrell said that Touquet tried to hide the liquor under the steps of his house when he saw the police. He could produce no per- mit for it. “Is the place a .bootlegger's?" asked the Magistrate. “Do you want it made public?" Unusual for Autos from So Great 3 Distance to be Here as Early in the Year A bench warrant was ordered issued for the apprehending of Allan McLeod. who was charged with assaulting his wife. McLeod was released on a sum- mons upon posting of bail of $100 cash. The bail will be forfeited as McLeod did not answen when his name was called in court on Tuesday. Ten Days For Drunk Driving Howard Robar pleaded guilty to a charge of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor. He was sentenced Lo serve ten days in jail and his car was ordered impounded for three months. ‘ ' Charges of aggravated assault against Jalmar Maki, Rupert Small and Edward Williams, which have been on court dockets for many weeks past, were withdrawn by the complaintan‘t, Na- poleon Etchie on payment of $3.75 costs in each case. Forty cases were disposed of in less than twenty-four fifinutes in police court, on Tuesday afternoon. After a session of almost record brevity the Magistrate said: “Well that appears to be all the work for today. Court ad- journed for one week.” Reason for the shortness of the court period. which usually occupies two hours at least, was that, many cases were disposed of before court. many with- drawn and some adjourned. Assault Charges Withdrawn Patrick Chesson was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm. to Stanley McGee. A similar charge was laid against Tommy Church, of Kirkland Lake, police said, but he had not, been arrested as yet. Both cases were adjourned for one week and Ches- son‘s ball was set at $200 cash or $400 property value. Masicotte told the court that he was out of work and needed the pants but when his record was read out it was quite extensive and included a similar theft in Timmins about four months Leo Masioottc was sent to jail to do hard labour for four months when con- victed or the theft of a pair of trousers from Friedman’s Department Store. ago.

By unanimous vote the Men‘s Forum passed a. resolution instructing the sec- retary to write a letter to CKGB con- gratulating them on the celerity with which they returned to the air after the unfortunate fire which destroyed so much of their equipment. 'Mr. Archibald was also the speaker of the evening. It had originally been planned to have Mr. Wililam Wren. 'manager of the station. address the Men’s Forum on “Radio,” but Mr. Wren found it necessary to be out of town on business and sent Mr. Archibald to take his place. Mr. Archibald discuss- ed the problems of radio from its in- fancy until now, and pointed out that the smaller private stations attempted to carry on very much along the line laid down by the Canadian Broadcast- ing Commission. He described how transcriptions were made for radio use. and members found much interest in hearing how certain programs were re- ceived and rte-broadcast hours and days later. Community singing was indulged in and in the absence of M1. Hexfoeit Trene'er, church organist, the singing was led by Mr. Gordon Arlchbald of the local radio station. The Library Committee reported the purchase of a number of books, the nucleus of a small library. These books were on display and were examined by the members with much interest. "Radio,” was the tonic at the meet- ing of the Men’s Forum of the United Church, held in the church basement on Monday evening, with the president. Mr. Sid Woods, in the chair.

A copy of a. letter sent by petitioners to the Separate School Board was for- warded to the Council and read at the meeting on Tuesday. The letter was an objection to the proposed construc- tion of two new separate schools and a $40,000 teachers’ residence. Regarding needed space for classes the letter pointed out that there was an empty class at present in Jacques men L.

RIL 1 In View of high taxes at present the Timmins Separate School Board could not afford such an expenditure. If the sisters were too crowded a house could be rented for them near Notre Dame des Lourdes Church. Why should not the children of the parish of Notre Dame de Lourdes be considered as much as those of any other parish, asks the letter. The Salvation Army was granted permission to hold a tag day in Tim- mins on June 13. A petition from Father Chapleau for The Council ruled that, it had no authority to act or take a. stand on such a matter. It was purely a prob- lem for the Separate School Board. Included among the signatmes on the petition were those of Jadk Dalton, D. Laprahie and J. E Chatauvert. The petitioners objected to paying for the present residence occupied by the teaching nuns out of general funds. It should have been paid for by deben- tures, they maintain. They further object to the proposal to demolish that structure and erect a $40,000 building in its place.

Butter times ahead Montreal Star: The plea put forward in Uhe House of Commons by Denton Massey, that the people of Canada should forget all d'iiiferences of opinion over internal prdblems and unite for the defence of the national interest of Canada, is one that should not go un- heeded. He is not the first to make this plea, nor will he be the last; but he put it forward in a. pungent man- ner that merits emphasis. He stressed the fact that Canada was peculiarly vulnerable to any economic disturbance either in Great Britain or in the Unit- ed States, and he asked if those who talked about the stress and strain oc- casioned by war have considered what would result to Canada from the de- feat of Great Britain. “War," he said, is bad enough, but defeat in war is too horrible to contemplate.

A conference should be arranged be- tween the Council and the Medical Officer of Health if he talked like that, said the Mayor. Then he complained to the doctor, said Mr. Gauthier. “The doctor told me. He said. ‘I can't do anything with the Council my- self. They won‘t listen to me. They won't even give milk to the children,,” said Mr. Gauthier. He repeated parts of his conversation with the doctor to the Council. Miss Catherine Suoma and Mr. John Alfred Kuusi- virta Married. With regard to his trouble getting a. restaurant license, Mr. Gauthier said that he had asked the Sanitary Inspec- tor. Mr. Meehan. three times and that each time he had been told that the Inspector and the Medical Officer of Health ,would be down to look his place over before granting him a. license. There was. said the Mayor, a stipu- lation in Mr. Gauthier’s tender that the Town pay for broken dishes. The other and more successful tenderer car- ried the responsibility himself. W'hy, said the Mayor. a restaurant keeper might use all his cracked dishes and charge the Town for them! He complained with regard to the tenders for meals that the Council or Police Commission or whoever awarded the contract, had awarded it to a. man who did not stick Lo the schedule pro- vided by the Town” Furthermore, price on the successful tender was 28 cents and all along the Town had been get- ting meals for prisoners fOr 25 cents. Homer Gauthier had two complaints to make. One was that his tender for meals for prisoners was not accepted and the other that he could get no action on the matter of a license for his restaurant. “What, has the Coun- cil got against me. Considering these two things together there is something fishy,” said Homer. The Mayor pointed out that the Council had made an effort to get the government to build an airport here but that it would inform the govern- ment of the Legion‘s request. C’onstmction of an airport would pro- vide work and take many men off re- lief and it would be a boon to travellers to and from Southern Ontario, said the letter. Realizing the unsettled state of the world today and the fact that the camp was isolated except for a road and railroad. and the latter could be sabot- aged, an airport was necessary. 111’ one were built the TransaCanada Airline ships could call here. It would be shorter for them to pass over 'I‘lmmins than to go around by Cochmne and Nellie Lake as they do at present.
