John Carnovale was fined $100 and costs with the alternative of two months in jail when convicted of alâ€" lowing his premises to be used as a gambling establishment in police court on Wednesday morning. Seven other men, Louis and Tony Torchia, George Teem, J. B. Bobillard, Edward Basil Smith, Louis Chartier and Real Couâ€" sineau, each were assessed $20 and costs for being found in a gaming house. Carnovale pleaded not guilty. Each of the seven men had two charges against them, but when it was anâ€" nounced that they were willing to plead guilty to char:es of being found in, the second charge, one of operating a gaming house, was withdrawn. The charges first were heard in court Tuesday. There was some discussion between Mr. Carnovale and his lawyer, Mr. Dean Kester, and then when‘ court was resumed, the Crown announced that the defence attorney had with drawn from the case. Assess Carnovale $100 Seven Others $20 Each The Crown and the Magistrate were anxious to get on with the case as several of the witnesses, men who worked mines, had lost several shifts over it. Finally the Magistrate made it peremptory for Wednesday morning. On the following morning Mr. Lieâ€" berman was representing Mr. Carnovale and the seven men. The changes against one man, Roland Arbic, were withdrawn when the defence pointed out that he had nothing whatsoever to do with the games. Sergeant John Downey said that he walked into the carnival being held in the Timmins Arena during the week from August 7 to 12. He went in early on the morning of August 9 and warned John Carnovale that the games being operated in his premises were illegal and that he should not allow them. He went around with him and pointed out which games were agzainst the law. Carnovale said that he had been led PAQGE EoT Carnovaige Ssald LNIAL € I1AU UUCUCLL 1CQU to believe by Cliff Caesar, Secretary of the Prospectori® â€" Association, that everything would be overlooked. He went again on August 10 with a squad of policemen, said the Sergeant. Several games were operating. There was money on the tables and men playing. They arrested the operators of the games and seized the money and equipment, said the Seregant. Were Made Dupes of Prospectors‘ Association Says Deâ€" fence Barrister. Association Assured Carnovale and Game Operators Everything was Fixed With the Town Council After Town‘s $100 Donation. Crossâ€"examined, he said that Carâ€" novale told him that if the police closed down on the games the Prospectors‘ Association would have to make an assignment. Arthur Shaw, Assessment Commisâ€" sioner, was called both by the Crown and the defence. Speaking for the Crown, he said that John Carnovale was assessed for the Timmins Arena and paid the taxes. As a defence witâ€" ness Mr. Shaw said that he was prâ€" sent at the moetinz of Council when the Council granted $100 to the Prosâ€" pectors‘ Association. There was nothing on record to show that the Council told the Association it could run gamâ€" bling games, he said. Mr. Lieberman said that his client, Mr. Carnovale, had rented the arena on previous occasions to churches and social service clubs for affairs similar to that staged by the Prospectors‘ Assoâ€" ciation. His client was advised that the Prospectors‘ carnival had the blessing of the Town. He understood the Assoâ€" ciation be a worthâ€"while organi. zation. Mr. Carnovale was assured by the Association executive that everything was all right. The police came and warned him, Mr. Lisberman said, but between that time and when they made their raid the executive of the Assoâ€" cgiation told Mr. Carnovale that everyâ€" thing had been "fixed." guilty "I‘itre has been lots of trouble over ming," said Magistrate Atkimnson. "It * Sure, I‘m careful â€" â€" â€" "I â€"demand value for dollar 1 spend. I‘m certainâ€" ly getting it in my new house. I alâ€" ways heard that ly getting it in my % 3 #" new house.

Still, they‘ve had so much experiâ€" ence planning and building in this country that they know all the ways of keeping the cost down. Then, too, they bring materials in by the carload and have their own mill so, of course, they can give rockâ€"bottom prices." dollar certain it in m is the business of the police to adminisâ€" ter the law and the business of the people to obey it whether they agree or not. I have repeatedly warned from the bench this year about gambling but my warnings don‘t seem to have any effect." The Magistrate ordered that Mr. Carnovale pay $100 and costs and that all equipment be seized as well as money found on the tables at the time of the raid. The money amounted to more than $100. Mr. Lieberman asked that the seven men who pleaded guilty to being found in be not made "goats" for the Prosâ€" pectors‘ Association, which, he said, hired them and told them that everyâ€" thing was all right.

Some Members of Algonquin Rifles on Guard Duty Many have noticed members of the local company on guard at one entrance to the post office building, and this fact has caused some misunderstandâ€" ing and some odd reports. "Why guard the post office?" has been asked. The fact is that this entrance to the post office is also the entrance to D. Co"s headquarters here. On instrucâ€" tions from Col. J. B. Stewart, Toronto, the O.C.., of the Algonquin Regt., as matter of detail one NC.O., Sergt. Bert Hansell, MM., MSM. and three men are on 24â€"hour guard duty at the local armouries in the basement of the post office. At the same time an invenâ€" tory or uniforms and equipment is being carried out. Contrary to some reports, no members of the regiment are on guard at Hydro stations or mines or other strategic points. Exâ€"service. men recommended by the Canadian Legion have been selectd to do guard _duty at Hydro and other Government property to avoid danger of sabotage. The MciIntyre and Hollinger and other mines are understood to have taken ’emple precautions to guard powder magazines, equipment and underâ€" ‘;round. but are supplying their own guards, . 4 35. 4 o \9? t \“A. * ‘3 Lovers of music and melody will note with pleasure that the Virginia Jubilee Singers will be at the United Church, Timmins, on Sept. lith and 12th, under the auspices of the United Church Choir. These gifted singers and enterâ€" tainers, with their Negro spirituals, plantation songs, folk songs and musical specialties have delighted Timmins audiences each year for several years past. Lieut. Keith Stirling, is the O.C., of D. Company, Alzonquin Rifles during the absence of Major W. Morgan, who is on leave of absence for the holiday season. An automobile, owned by J. C. Herâ€" bert, of Ingersoll, was recently recover. ed in Timmins by police. The Ingersoll Chief then made the statement that he learned from Timmins authorities that there were indications of a car ring theft working over the province with Timmins as its headquarters. It was suspected that the bodies were switched on stolen cars while they were in Timmins. Chief of Police Leo H. Gagnon said today that it was not true that there was a ring hore. "If there is, we have never heard of it," he said. All armouries and other headquarâ€" ters throughout Canada have guards at the present time as a matter of deâ€" tail.

The very fact that Hitler is willing to make the conâ€" cession of talking to the Poles, even though his terms for the conference are almost unacceptable (he says that Danziz and the Polsh will have to be ceded to him before he will negotiate), is something. Possibly Hitler is surprised and dis. appointed at the adamant attitude of Britain and France. If he believed that they would gve him what he wanted without war he knows differently now.

He has a peculiar fatalistic sense of humour which takes itself out in looking on the worst posâ€" sible side of things. Accordingly, when things turn out less disagreeably than he imagined they would, and they nearly always do, he is agreeably sur.â€" prised. Another faculty of the Britisher is that he is able to absolutely ignore such a thing as a crisis. For example, there are two correspondents, one "a decentâ€"minded citizen," the other "a rearâ€"admiral retired" who are conductâ€" ing a battle in the letter columns of the Times. Subject of argument is whether or not one should or shouldn‘t write to the newspapers. _A London barman is offerinz a conâ€" coction called "Crisis Special" and anâ€" other know as "Fixed Bayonets." Either one o.§ them will relieve tension and take a porson‘s mind off the warâ€" perhaps. At present, for example, tailors in the Strand are prophecying no war and offering a money back guarantee in the event of hostilities. The British mood is certainly not hysterical. The people are ready to fight if the problem offers no other solution but they will prove none the less deadly because they are at present going about their daily business; be.â€" cause they are making rather vicious jokes about the crisis on one hand and absolutely ignoring its exstence on the other. Someone always has to spoil the fun. Recently the members of this municiâ€" pality‘s governing body met as is their usual habit on Monday nights. With the usual amount of excess verbiage and superfluous pomposity they got through the usual small amount of business. At ‘the conclusion of the meeting there was one matter yet to be discussed. The local radio station offered the Council the use of its transâ€" mission system for the duration of one meeting of Com:ncil. Should or should not the Town Fathers accept? Immediately the question was opened for discussion one of the Councillors was on his feet. He thought it a splenâ€" did idea. There was no smle on his face and he was deadly in earnest as he conjured up a picture of a mother sitting quietly at home listening to the radio while rocking her baby to sleep. Another ‘Councillor got to his feetâ€" or rather he leaped to his feet (Counâ€" cillors in Timmins always leap to their feet, usually to hotly refute something, or they slowly and impressively get to their feet). He thought that such broadcast would have the effect of eduâ€" catimnz the general public in the work of the Council. These two Councillors were really imbued with the idea of sending their message over the airlines to the homes of the citizens of Timmins. They were eager to educate those people who had radios to the stupendous difficulties faced and overcome daily by the peo.â€" ple‘s elected representatives. No one could accuse them of wanting to utilize the radio as a medium for speeches. possible that he will be the quits and not us.
