The Sole brothers have built their business on an axiom that sounds rather unique in this day of mistrust and dishonesty. It is that every man is essentially honest and trustworthy and will, if given an opportunity, pay his debts. For that reason the brothers have built a business‘ on long term credit with small payments. Furtherâ€" more, iwith them, business has been good. They have prospered by believing that men are not essentially dishonest, but good. It sounds like rather a pecuâ€" liar axiom to take into the hardâ€"boiled business world but the brothers testify that they both honestly believe it and are willing at any time to put it into practice., In addition to being watchmakers Ernest ant Fred Sole are licenced opâ€" ticians. Although there will not be On the staff here will be several hizhly skilled watchmakersâ€"men who have been well qualified enough to act suecessfully and satisfactorily as watch inspectors for the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway in Quebec. The total number of persons who compose the stafis of the Sole Brothers‘ stores is to be about twentyâ€"five. Of that number ten will be in Timmins. In 18936 a third branch was opened, in Kirkland Lake. It proved to be sucâ€" cessful as did the other three and this year the brothers decided to put into action an idea that they had talked of and considered for some time. They began negotiations for a store in Timâ€" mins. After several months the store is ready for them to move into. It will be the biggest of the chain and will contain the head office of the business and all its office personnel. In 1836 the brothers decided to stake their fortunes in the North and its growth and they opened another store, this time in Val d‘Or. Up to this time both of their stores were in Quebez. Although their beginning was humble their growth was rapid. Starting from a small store in Rouyn in 1932, their business increased so rapidly that in 1836 they were forced to move out and into larger premises. The store which opens here this week will be the fourth and the lanzest built by these two brothers since they started in business in Rouyn in 1932. "We are watchmakers. Our fathers were watchmakers before us We come of a family of watchmakers," said Ernâ€" Pst and Fred Sole, owners of Timmins new jewellery store, when asked about their antecedants in the craft.

Knows North Well Flying for both Canadian Airways and General Airways, "Jelly" knows by heart the rock, bush and river from North Bay to Moosonee and from Otâ€" tawa to the Manitoba border, having fre‘‘zhted payâ€"loads in and out of every mining settlement in the North and frequently operating from the cities of Sault, Sudbury, North Bay and the Lakehead.

', Here in City Currently headquartered in North Bay and working with Canadian Airâ€" ways Pilot Norman Forester on the photoâ€"mapping of a large bloc of terâ€" rain east of the city, Plight Lieutenant Jellison late last week rejoined the R.CAF. and is under orders to proceed to Vancouver where he is to lead a naval bombing squadron of fiying boats in trainin@ on the Pacific coast for wartime service next spring. Now a flight lieutenant, but immediâ€" ately slated for promotion to the rank of squadron leader, "Jelly" as he is known through the Northland, is in receipt of adavice that the span of Stranraer _ _ or Consolidated naval bembers he is to head, will be assigned early next year to coastal patrol, likely hunting down Uâ€"boats in the English Channel and the North Sea. } io ie itc in ie i mm mm smm 22. 1PR First Northern Pilot to Transfer to Air Fighting Service A few among the mining chiefs are extended to And when it‘s all over "Jelly" will be back in Northern Ontario again, for Canadian â€" Airways, it was learned. have put it in writiniz, without his askâ€" ing, that a plane will always be ready for him.

But the "Strans" and "Cons" can be used for bombing raids on such military Oobjective as Keil, Heligoland, the Sylt Islands, although the flying boats are not as swift as the big land bombers. an engineer, two gunners and a bombâ€" erâ€"and the Consolidateds two less men, probably dropping one pilot and a gunner. Carry Big Crews The "Strans" and "Cons," ‘both big twinâ€"motoreét fiying boats, are used for coastal patrol, and, according to good information, Jellison‘s squadron will see service as subâ€"hunters. The Stranraers carry big crewsâ€"two pilots, a navigator, a radio operator, Consolidatad fiying boats, similar to those used by American Air Express in spanning the Atlantic this summer. Panâ€"American Airways, also doing transaltantic hopping, uses the bis Boeing Clippers. The fiying boats, he related, are much touzher and sturdier jobs and can be set down on water with less difficulty than the light pontooned ships used in Northern Ontario bush fAying. Out on the coast, Jellison‘s squadron will be made up of either Stranraer or "When you‘ve handled a light ship with pontoons it‘s easy to fly a boat," explained the fight lieutenant, who should know what he‘s talking about, having piloted the big flying boats beâ€" fore. Jellison was supposed to have had two weeks‘ leave, but as Canadian Airâ€" ways was hard pressed to clean up the mapping job east of here, he is spendâ€" ing his furlough helping Pilot Forester to rush throuzh the job. Needs no Training Then he heads west to Vancouver and the naval bombing squadron to take training, which, he swears, he really doesn‘t need. Lovatt wants to go with the RC.AFP too, but he didn‘t make the jump beâ€" fore the exemptions were clamped on, a measure by which Ottawa saved comâ€" mercial aviation from becoming the first Canadian war casualty. This, according to "Jelly‘s" friends in North Bay (and he has a pack of them) was something of a serious handicap to Canadian Airways for the company in Jellison and Lovatt, has what is probably the Dominion‘s most expert team of aerial photographic surveyors. "In" to Stay But they were too late for Jellison, he was already "in," and advised both Ottawa and Canadian Airways that he was "in" to stay, refusinz to impleâ€" ment the exemption which had been extended to cover him. whom Jellison has flown are Jack Hammell, of Pickle Crow and Uchi, | J.

The department, advised by comâ€" mercial aviation companies that furâ€" ther loss of trained personnel would bring down the curtain on civil aviation for Canada, issued what amounted to a blanket exemption for the pilots of Canadian Airways and other comâ€" panies.

This summer with his photographer, Bert Lovatt, of Montreal, he made an aerial survey of 2,380 square miles in the interior of Newfoundland for Briâ€" tish pulp and paper interests.

She only took off her dark islasses once «during her round with the fans. Her eyes are just as large as they are on the screen, and beautifully blue. She has a prominent forehead, nicely rounded cheeks and a pert chin. She‘s small, by the way, about fiveâ€"footâ€"two, we‘d say offhand, and pleasantly turved. "Bette was pleasant, with a smile that showed magnificent teeth and made you like her right away. Her hair "Studied carelessness would probably describe the rest of her trappings corâ€" rectly. Dark red slacks, tucked into sky blue angora socks, with brown leather, noâ€"heeled mocassins on her quite small feet. With the slacks, a plain beige cashmere pullover (which next to the mink coat made the gals sigh with envy), over a white shirt, a white knitted thingâ€"aâ€"mabob with long earflaps plunked on the back of her head. "When she breezed out to the Dionne Nursery.Saturday morning to pay:a fiyâ€" ing visit with the husky young ladies who inhabit the place, Bette gratified every single.fan‘s idea of a glittering Hollywood star by wearing a mink coat. This was a honey too, darkish rich brown and loose, and expensiveâ€"lookin(z. It wasn‘t just for effect, either. The day was darn cold. "Hollywood‘s No. iâ€"byâ€"far actress, Miss Bette Davis, looks exactly like everybody expected she‘d look. Not a glamor girl, in the Hollywood sense of the word, that is, expensively clad, jewelâ€"laden and reeking sexâ€"appeal, but she‘s a goodâ€"looking young woman with an interesting face and an unusual personality. Not, of course, that Miss Davis is not attractive to the male eye She is, definitely. Though it‘s hard to imagine when you think of her in her Mildred role in "Of Human Bondage."

So that‘s where it has been! On the occasion of his silver jubilee as Mayor of Brussels, when he refused to allow any celebrations, King Leopold III invested him with the Grand Corâ€" don of the Order of Leopold with the Golden Border, a distinction specially created for him. Among his foreign decorations was that of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor, a rank usually reserved for heads of states, In 1919 he was elected to the House of Representatives, receiving more preâ€" ference votes than any other candidate. When he returned to Brussels he was received with delirious enthusiasm, made a Minister of State, elected memâ€" ber of the Royal Belgian Academy, and named viceâ€"president of the Superior Conzo «Council. During the first few weeks of the German occupaticn of iBrussels in 1914, he was a constant source of inspiration to his citizens, and refused to submit to German authority. He was arrested September 26, 1914, taken to CGermany, and held prisoner in various Gérman towns unitl he escaped on Noverber 13, 1918. On October 3, 1803, he was elected member of Brussels city council, after nine years as provincial councillor for Brapant. He soon forged ahead to a position of leadership in both the munâ€" icipal and national Liberal groups, eventually shiring with his old friend Paul Hymans, former foreign minister, the control of the Liberal party. His heroic stand against the German invaders on the outbreak of the war in 1914 made him easily the most popâ€" ular man in the whole of the tiny kingdom and he never lost his place in the hears of all Belgians.
