The idea was that the cnemy had reached this spot at nightfall and were entrenched ready to aftack at daybreak. The Alzonquins were on the defence, and on the theory that the best defence is attack, they made very skilful preâ€" parations, with the result that they were fully prepared. to attack at dawn, supported by aircraft, tanks and artilâ€" lery. The scheme was a rehearsal of the attack that is to take place at Niâ€" agara Falls this summer at the annual camp, and the special value of the scheme here was that it allowed opporâ€" tunity for giving individual instruction and rules to all taking part, something that will not be possible at the big camp.

In one of the most informative and interesting addresses ever hoeard at the Timmins Kiwanis Club, Lord Riverdale, of Sheffield, England, in a brief but comprehensive address at the luncheon in the Empire hotel at noon today, sunmarized the European situation in most graphic way. He emphasized the fact that while Britain still hoped for peace, the Empire was calmly and firmly ready for war, and could be deâ€" pended upon to give a worthy account of itself. There were about 100 present at the luncheon, and the long continued apâ€" plause that followed the guest speaker‘s address evidenced the appreciation of the audience. President J. L. Fulton presided, and Dr. S. L. Honey introâ€" duced the speaker for the day. Lord Riverdale in opening said that after reading the newspapers and listâ€" ening to the radio, people in general felt that they did not know what it was all about. Mlustrating his point with an apt story, Lord Riverdale said that he would try to give a picture of what was really going on in Europe today. He praised Premier Chamberâ€" lain for his courageous efforts to mainâ€" tain peace. At least he had postponed trouble. After a personal interview with Hitler Lord Riverdale had heen convinced that only by a talk face to face was there any hope of doing anyâ€" thing with the German dictator. Premâ€" ier Chamberlain had agreed to this plan, and the immediate results had been fairly successful,. But, continuâ€" ed the speaker, it was later shown that nothing that Hitler might say, or sign was of any consequence. Hitler says he" does not want war, but only Justice for his people. He is vague in regard to the latter but what he apparently means is to kill all the Jews and conâ€" (Continued on Page Three) The Gold Nugget Rebekah Lodge held a very interesting meeting on Thursday evening, with the Viceâ€"Grand, Mrs, Hocking, acting as Noble Grand.
