Uses Strong Terms to Flay Editor Regarding Birch Street North, Situation. For expressive and strong language the attack which Councillior Armstrong launched against William Wren, Editor of the Timmins Daily Press and to a lesser degree, the Lions Club, has not been equalled at a Council meeting this year. For fully five minutes, on Monâ€" day evening at the regular meeting of Council, the Councillor flayed the editor and his paper for what he termed its attacks on "this labour Council." He charzed that the Lions Club had taken its playground project, now in operation to other Councils and received no satisâ€" faction. Occasion of the attack was the quesâ€" tion of the playgrounds. Councillor Spooner, who is Chairman of the comâ€" mittee representing the Council on the body governing the grounds, arose to say that an editorial in the Press of that day seemed to think that the playâ€" grounds should not be closed on Sunâ€" day but open for the children to use. His reason for having the grounds closed, said Councillor Spooner, was that he had consulted with Timmins clergymen and they were not in favour of having the grounds open for seven days in the week. He wanted the memâ€" bers of Council to think the matter over and give him their opinions at the next meeting of Council. "I will reply to William Wren‘sâ€"or I might say Dictator Wren‘s sheet right now," began Councillor â€" Armstrong. "This subject was discussed and it was deckied not to keep the grounds open on all seven days in the week. It was thought that if the children played for six days they might find some more restful pursuit on the seventh day of the week. "It is a strange thing. This Dictator Wren has been a member of the Lions Club for a number of years. In fact I believe he is a past President. The matâ€" ter of the playgrounds has been in his mind before this year. "This Council acted in good faith. It provided the playgrounds and the supervisors. In fact it went to great expense to coâ€"operate with the Lions Club. "I am wondering," said Councillor Armstrong, ‘"if the Lions Club, through the medium of Dictator Wren‘s paper has laid a trap for us Heusés‘ the medium of his supposed indépenâ€" dent and impartial paper to slay the Council for doing things the Lions Club tried to get other Councils to do." Councfilor Armstrong said that Mr. Wien was using the medium of his (Continued on Page Seven) Dinner in Honour of Inspector Creasy at Haileybury Haileybury, July 27â€"(Special to The: Advance)â€"Residents, of Haileybury, in number about sixty persons, gathered at the golf club a few evenings ago to tender a complimentary dinner and dance to Inspector F.

Armstrong NAPOLEON AND UNCLE ELBY Dismiss Charge of Breaking Into Dr. Durkin‘s Home Was Drunk and Did Not Know What he was Doing Says Alex Dunsmore. Drank Forty Ounces and Beer. A charge of breaking into the home of Dr. L. Durkin, with intent to commit a theft against Alex Dunsmore, was dismissed by Magistrate Gould in police court on Tuesday afternoon. "I am so very doubtful about my decision in this case that I will give the benefit of that doubt to the accused," said the Magistrate. The Crown charged that Dunsmore was caught in the Durkin home on Wilson Avenue by Lloyd Durkin, aged 17, and that he intended to steal,. Deâ€" fence was that Dunsmore had been drinking all that afternoon and evenâ€" ing and that he made a mistake and entered the house thinking it to be that of a friend. Lloyd Durkin said, on the stand, that he came home early on Sunday morning and noticed the door of his home open. When he turned on the lights Dunsmore was in the room. Dunsmore stumbled over a chair and he grabbed him, said Durkin. The inâ€" truder offered no resistance. "He had been drinking all right," said the boy on the witness stand. "I could smell his breath when I was holdâ€" ing him." Dr. Durkin said that his wife awakenâ€" ed him and that his son and Dunsmore were standing there when he came downstairs. He advised his son to call the police as the house was broken into not long ago and he was "getting tired of. 1t." He was with Dunsmore on Saturday afternoon and evening, said Leo Leâ€" gendre. They drank beer and a forty ounce bottle of rye whiskey. When he left Dunsmore he was "pretty drunk." _ Dunsmore told the court that he had been in the camp for eighteen years and that he never had been in trouble before. He had been working at the McIntyre for a number f years. He was in the beer parlour around twelve that night but didn‘t remember anyâ€" thing after that except in patches. He remembered stumbling over chair but didn‘t know whose house he was Dunsmore said that it was true that he and his friend drank a bottle of whiskey. He knew someone at 33 Wilâ€" son Avenue and thought he might 2g0 there. Two witnesses, Ernest Chevrier and Ivan Nimick, both said that Dunsmore had been drinking heavily lately. Suspended Sentence for Theft Alverez Chevrier pleaded guilty to three charges of theft amounting in all to $177 from J. iP. Roy, for whom he was a truck driver. The theft included 4720 feet of lumber and 20 rolls of roofing papetr. His Counsel asked for clemency on the grounds that it was the first time Chevrier had been in trouble and that he had a wife and a new baby. Crownâ€" Attorney Caldbick said that Mr. Roy did not want to be severe so Chevrier was placed on suspended sentence for a year. Oscar Roy and Jean Whissell pleaded guilty to a joint charge against them of stealing five gallons of gasoline from the automobile of Hector Miron, by means of a siphon. A second joint charge against them, one of ‘the theft of gasoline and a tank cap from another automobile, and a third charge against Roy, one of reâ€" taining a stolen car blanket in his possession, all were withdrawn upon the plea of guilty in the first accusation. TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 27TH, 1939 Canadian Aids President} "Up in police court for three weeks in a row is a bit unusual to say the least," said Magistrate Gould in police court on Tuesday. He was referring to Henry Timm, who was convicted of dangerous driving and sentenced to pay a fine of $10 and costs in addition to having his driving permit cancelled for three months. Constable William Thompson said that he was driving down Fourth Aveâ€" nue in the squad car on July 23 at about 9.15 pm. Ahead of him about 100 feet was another car. Suddenly the automobile driven by Timm, which was coming in the opposite direction, swerved in front of the car ahead of him, up on the sidewalk and back to his own side of the road between the two cars. He turned the police car around, gave chase and caught Timm. "This is a Dangerous Man on the Road. He is Not Fit to Drive a Car," Says Crownâ€"Attorney. Has Long Record of Highway Traffic Offences. Gets Thirty Days on T‘wo Charges of Stealing. men that they would be dealt with in a more severe fashion if they ever apâ€" peared in court again and placed them on suspended sentence, Wine Party Four men, who were alleged to have been consuminz win© near a freight car in the T. N. O. yards, heard charges read against them. Two of them were dismissed, one was fined $2$ and costs when he pleaded guilty and the charge against the fourth was adâ€" journed when the Crown decided that the wine found in his possession should be sent away for analysis. The two who were dismissed were James Vallier and Jack Cochrane. They both said #nat they did not have the wine in their possession. Donald Camâ€" eron, the first man heard, did not quesâ€" tion the charge. He was fined $25 and costs on his plea of guilty. Left holding the jug was Peter Mecehan. He, acâ€" cording to the evidence was the only one of the quartet who actually had the wine in his possession. When that fact was established the Crown decided that it might be best to have the wine analysed. Meehan contributed the information that someone had come along and "shoved the wine under my coat."

Timm did not dery that his record included a conviction for reckless drivâ€" ing in 1931 for which he served ten days; a conviction in 1935 for failing to stop at a light; a conviction in 1987 for driving without a license; a convicâ€" tion in 1937 for driving with defective brakes; another similar conviction in 1938; conviction on July 11 of this year for switching car markers and anâ€" other on July 18 of this year for reckâ€" less driving. The mill is treating 150 tons daily and costs are appreciably lower than expected. ‘ The mill started on May 5 and the output to the end of June was $38,763, excluding gold tied up in the circuit. Production for the last half of June was $15,687 from 2,230 tons for an average of $7.03 per ton. The company has repaid $5,000 of the amaunt loaned by General Engineering Company, to construct the mill. "This is a dangerous man on the road," said the Crownâ€"Attorney. "He is not fit to drive a car." Reckless Driving A charge of reckless driving against Leo Roy resulted in a conviction and fine of $10 and costs. Alfred Marinacci said that he was driving west on Wilâ€" son Avenue when Roy pulled out in front of him and stopped his car. He applied his brakes but ‘was forced to skid into him. Similar evidence was given by Harry B. Marshall who was working on a nearby scaffolding. When Peter Leblanc said that he would vouch for the good conduct of his brother, Antoine Leblanc, Magisâ€" trate Gould placed the latter man, who Roy claimed that he stopped to let traffic by and that Marinacci rammed him because he was going so fast that he could not stop in time. Leblanc, who is wellâ€"known in court here, put up a convincing argument. He denied police assertions that he never worked and was a wine drinker. He made as high as $30 a week selling stain remover, he said. He denied that he had had Mexican money in his posâ€" session. The usual quota of drunks pleaded guilty and were given alternative of $10 and costs or thirty days. Cyril Vaudreuil pleaded guilty to two charges of theft, one of stealing an overcoat valued at $20 and the other of stealing three bed spreads and two flashlights. was charged with vagrancy, on SUusâ€" pended sentence. Constable Thompson said that he questioned Vaudreuil when he saw him in front of the Empire Hotel, laden with the goods which later proved to be stolen. When Vaudreuil ran away he gave chase in the police car and apâ€" prehended him.

Every MONDAY and THURSDAY In Monday‘s Advance reference was made to the fact that the Moose River Gypsum Co. had leased 400 acres along the Moose River north of Cochrane and that work would start this summer on the development of this industry, This will be of great value to the North in many ways, and indirectly of notable benefit to all Ontario. It will mean the creation of new employment. It will help supply the need for this form of building material in the rapidly exâ€" panding towns of the North,. It will help the T. N.

The establishâ€" ment of this industry in the North will have the tendency to speed up the development of other resources here, and it will also tend to the establishâ€" ment of other industries. a mile from the Temiskaming and Norâ€" thern Ontario Railway. Known Since 1875 ‘_The lease completely surrounds the claims owned by the Curran Estate of Montreal. These claims were staked in 1911 and patents obtained finally in 1923, but no effort has been made to bring them into production. The Moose River Gypsum Company, Limited, expects to start operations this summer on one of the largest deâ€" posits of gypsum on the continent, the huge eypsum deposit on the Moose River, opposite Murray Island, in the James Bay region. The company recently obtained a lease of 400 acres on condition the work start within two years. Cochrane will be used as headquarters for development work. The deposit is just a quarter of Enzineers have known of the deposit since 1875, but since gypsum is a lowâ€" priced product, its development has been controlled largely by the availâ€" ability of markets. Engineers examinâ€" ing economic possibilities of the Moose River basin in 1928 reached the conâ€" clusion the gypsum probably could be used in a market extending to North Bay, Timmins, Cobalt, Rouyn, Sudbury (Continued on Page Five) The following despatch from Toronâ€" to gives further details of the matter:â€" Figures Show that Building in Canada is Increasing Estimate for 19839 is 20 per cent.
