THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH, 1939 132 Pine Street North Timmins Bound To Go Up AND REAL ESTATE IN ALL BRANCHES NS URANCE SIMMS, HOOKER DREW HOUSES AND LOTS FOR SALE CONVENIENT TEFMS | There are so many people in this part of the North who have relatives ard friends in the Old Country to whom they like to send presents at Christmas time, that The Advance has | made a practice each year of calling atâ€" ! tention to the need for early mailing of parcels and letters so as to reach the Old Land in time for Christmas. Usually the reminder is not given as early as this, but this yvear is different. This is not a bit too soon to get parâ€" ceéls ready for mailing to the Old | TCountry for Christmas. This year such gifts will be appreciated even more than usual and will have a speâ€" | cial appeal to those in the Old Land.l In addition to the special pleasure t,hac: will be given by Christmas tokens reaching the Old Land on time, there is the thought of war conditions that j i may make mail delivery not perhaps |as certain as in other years. In other | years it was possible to announce the |actual date of the sailing of boats carryin»y mail. For obvious reasons this will not be possible this Accordingly it would seem to be well ‘for all desiring parcels to reach the Old Land for Christmas to send them 'a little earlier than usual. In any event it is not too early to think about i the matter.

In 1914 after the first contingent got across a warehouse in Halifax got plugzed with parcels going to soldiers. Finally they all had to be unpacked and repacked. Socks, pickles, preserves, pneumonia jackets had been packed inâ€" discriminately. It will not happen again. Back about 1917 there used to be a whole fund of stories about the socks and the sentimental messages in the toes. There were even songs about Sister Susie. This time only one pair of socks has been rejected and they all pass inspection. Furtherimnmore they are preâ€"shrunk, something very important when the soldiers do their own washing. Special Red Cross lecturers are initiating the new knittirt» recruits into the mysteries of splicing instead of knotting. The boys already are vocal in their preferâ€" ences for homeâ€"knit socks. A full year aizo the Red Cross organâ€" ized dfor war emergency. It arranged for central purchasing of raw materâ€" ials. It laid plans to overcome shipping difficulties thaty confused the picture in the last war. Bought Below Market Cost In the first week of September, beâ€" fore Canada declared war and United States buyers slipped across the border and snaggled off two million pounds of wool, the Red Cross wasn‘t caught Packing Systematized Red Cross workers have standardized packaging. The matron of a hospital will know there are exactly so many sheets in each box. Socks move by the case just like canned tomatoes. The voluntary packers have gone systemâ€" atic. napping. It bought the wool for socks below the market cost before many firms realized that wool was the only commodity in which a real shortage threatened. The quick action on wool was just one of a number of indications that the Red Cross leaders learned economic lessons in the last war. The service side of the Red Cross has been repeatedly emphasized. The econâ€" omic side has been largely i#hored, particularly by those who that the Government should do itself what the Red Cross as an auxiliary to Govâ€" ernment does. And any one who thinks that a patriotic auxiliary is just a well meaning but fumbling charity onzanâ€" ization with good intentions is due for a surprise. The miracle has been accomplished by combining sentiment and efficiency Kincardine Newsâ€"When a bargain hunter buys cheap hosiery, she cerâ€" tainly get a run for her money. The moment war was declared the Red ‘Cross became big businessâ€"big business without profit and without overhead. Its budget calls for spending $1,538,000 on materials alone. When made up into bandages, pyjamas, surâ€" gical dressings and socks, the value will have trebled without any addition to to the cost. Efficient Methods Used. How Contributions are Doubled in V alue (By R. A. Farquharson) A pound of wool costs eighty cents. It makes four pairs of socks. The total cost of the finished seecks is the orif:inal cost of the wool. This item in economics may seem trifling. The Red Cross has on order, however, nineteen and a half tons of wool, which will all go into socks and sweaters for Canadian soldiers.

He will reside in Timmins. His brother and partner will reâ€" turn to Kirkland Laks to continue there as manager of the Sole Broâ€" thers branch there. Both brothers are appreciative of the enthusiastic response the public of Timmins gave to the opening of their new store. MEN BEHIND NE W STORE in the Hollinger mine. "Pete," as he became affectionately known, was in St. Mary‘s hospital for close to three years until interested friends secured his transfer to a government hospital. "Pete" had seen service in the Great War and this service no doubt was a decided factor in his unfortunate conâ€" dition. Specialists during his stay in St. Mary‘s hospital, gave him no hope and the verdict was "he will never walk again." Others held different views, "Give him a change of environment; try. some.form of treatment‘ was in ons appeal sent to the authorities at Otâ€" tawa. After lengthy correspondence the challenge was accepted and the reâ€" sult was that P. G. Fraser, was evenâ€" tually removed to his own home in Nova Scotia. There by earnest effort and friendly assistance he began his "fight back." A letter received this week by W. A. Devine tells its own story and is in part as follows: "Have just finished listening to the war news, or about a war which some of tham dâ€"â€" fools over in Europe are trying their darndest to start. Perâ€" sonally, I wish that they would get going soon as this waiting around and suspense gets on a fella‘s nerves, and especially so if he‘s been there before. And, on the other hand if they really did start something in earnest it would be inclined to give some of us old sweats more incentive to get ourselves into fighting trim again, at least that‘s the way I feel about it, probably a selfish motive, but no doubt a goodly number of others feel the same. In these trying times, it is a pleasure to receive correspondence which not only brings pleasure to readers, but its spirit and lesson should be an inspiraâ€" tion for all to "fight back.‘ Large numâ€" bers of pecple here will recall the sad case of P.
