Graphic Description _ . Given of the Work of the Legion War Services Mr. Magladery stressed very strongly the point that this new organization was entirely separate from the Legion itself and not one cent of any of its monies would be used by the Canadian Legion. Some of the most influential men of the Dominion were on its board of directors as the folders distributed plainly showed. Several people had got a wrong impression of the wok and this was another reason for the visit. The Dominon government had seen the need for the programme outlined and had inaugurated the Auxiliary Services, with Col. Foster at the head. Its work will be to establish huts and recreation centres in Canada, England and France so that there will be no overlapping. As is well known in the GreatWar as many as 4 huts would be operating in one centre and made keen competition against each other. In this war, the YM.CA., the Salvation Army, the Catholic huts, the Church Army will be carried on just as before but will be allocated to various localities. The Leâ€" gion huts will also come under this plan. The speaker made emphasis of the point thit the Legion canteens or huts will be strictly temperance and no intoxicating liquor will be available.., ‘"We do noiw intend to have the same mistakes made this time as was made in the last tvonflict," said the Speaker. "Educational facilities have been made available to all in the new army," openâ€" ed the topic which seems the most cutstanding reason for the support o the War Services drive for funds. Mr Magadery quoted figures to show that hundreds of young enlisted men are taking full advantage of the facilities now being provided. Vocationah trainâ€" ing, University courses and Business practice are being conducted by high trained volunteers. As an illustration of what is planned the speaker stated that a university student could continue his studies while in the army and even earn his degree. This was not the case in the last strugzale when at the close thousands were dumped on to the peoâ€" ple of Canada, with their young manly years at a loss to them. Other topics outlined were recreation, sports and entertainment, the speaker giving in detail what has been acomâ€" plished and what it is hoped to do. He urged that Citizens‘ Committee be formed to carry out the raising of the Timmins allctment and an organizing committee was picked‘\from the meetâ€" ing. This committee met at the close of the address and discussed ways and neans of organizing the campaign. There was a very large attendance at the Legion hall on Sunday afternoon to hear Mr. Tom Magladery, ist viceâ€" president of the Provincial Command of the Canadian Legion. Invitations had previously been sent out to memâ€" bers of the various service clubs and other organizations and a full meetâ€" ing was the result. Walter Greaves, president of the Tinmins branch of the Legion, occupled the chair and introâ€" duced the speaker to the gathering. The object of Mr. Magladery‘s visit was in connection with the drive for funds for the Canadian Legion War Services, Inc, This subsidiary branch of the Legion has announced its appeal for $500,000 to be collected in the Dominion to finâ€" ance the work of this special feature overseas. The Timmins allotment is $7,500. $ Canadian Legion War Service, Inc. the speaker said, that at the outbreak of war the Legion which for the past 20 years had been looking after the men of the Great War, seemed to be the logical ones to look after the new army,. Hence the forming under Domâ€" ininon ‘Charter the subsidiary of the Canadian Legion now known as the Canadian Legio War Services, Inc. Mr. Magladery opened his address by stating he was pleased to see such a grand response to the call of the meetâ€" ing. Qutlining the buildâ€"up of the Several spoke at the meeting includâ€" ing Austin Neame, zone commander of the Legion, Thomas Wilson, president of South Porcupine branch, Mr. Kow, of the Kinsmen‘s Clubp, Wendall Brewer, of the Lions, Al Wetmore of the Timâ€" mins branch of the Legion and others.

D. Kupkee, of the RCMP., stationed at Moose Factory. During the afternoon Mrs Aho served a delicious lunch, and a special treat was the serving of part of the bride‘s weCding cake The guests were espeâ€" clally interested in the accounts given by Mrs. Aho, and her son, of their trip to Moose Factory, and the marriage ceremony there.

Entertained in Honour of Moose Factory Wedding MONDAY, JANUARY 23ND, 1040 Residents of the Porcupine camp will be interested to know that the Coffee Shop, located in the McIntyre Comâ€" munity Bullding, is not for the use of McIntyre employees alone, but for the use of all who enjoy good food in exâ€"‘ cellent surroundings. Many have had the mistaken impression that the Coffee Shop is not a restaurant for the use of every citizen of the camp, his friend, and his guest. In the meantime, at the mine, the main vein on the 225 and 350 foot levels is being prepared for stoping. Work is also being done on the 600 foot level and the mine in general prepared for production by the middle of March. Steel for the mill was created and rivetted by the end af December and the building enclosed. An ore bin in the mill has since been built and the steel framework for the water tank rected. . FEarly this month, the steel framework for the "dry‘" house was completed. Various offisces in this building have been partitioned off, wall board applied and plumbing installed and it is expected that this building will be ready for use by the first of February, Aldermag ;.,.........50, .

Detroit directors, Horace S. Maynard, Paul W,. Seiler and John C. Moons, inâ€" spected the mine early this week. All expressed themselves as completely satisfied with construction progress and mine development. Questioned as to whether the war has made any difference in US. interâ€" est in Canadian mining, these direcâ€" tors pointed out that the financial and development plans on the Faymar had been carried out exactly as arranged early in 1939. In all, approximately $800,000 has been provided by a Deâ€" troit industrialist for the development of this gold property. Shortly after the outbhreak of the ‘war a construction contract calling for approximately $300,000 in cost ‘was signed with the Canadian Comstock Caompany and the funds immediately made available as needed. The observation was also made that Detroit interest in Canadian gold mining is increasing, rather than diminishing. Laying of foundations and cement work was favoured by good weather, and no difficulties have been encountâ€" ered.

N. Mitchell told policyholders and shareholders that "the present strength behind our policy contracts has never been exceeded at any time in the Comâ€" pany‘s history." The outcome of the year ending Dec. 31, 1939, resulted in $1,450,611 being added â€"to the company‘s unassigned surplus and special reserves which now stand at $13,024,720. This includes provision of almost $5,000,000 for diviâ€" dends â€"~to policyholders, a substantial increase from a year ago. In this conâ€" nection, the company increased policyâ€" holders‘ dividends in 1939 for the third successive year; and Mr. McEvanue, general manager of the company anâ€" nounced at the annual meeting that, unless unforeseen developments arise, a further and larger increase will be made in July, 1940. Douglas Stewart, business manager of the Communist paper, The Clarion, Toronto, was sentenced last week to two years in Kingston penitentiary on three charges connected with the printâ€" ing and circulating of statements or reports contrary to the Defence of Canada regulations. While in the witâ€" ness box the despatches say that he seemed inclined to be flippant, but when he started on his twoâ€"year term he realized the sericusnss of the matâ€" ter. Sam Scarlett, Joseph Cline and Tohmas Sims were charged jointly with Stewart, but were not appreâ€" hended. The case of Stewart is said to ‘be ithe first trial by jury in Canada of a case under the Defence of Canada Act. : ‘The ladies of Hallnor have been doâ€" ing Red Cross Work since last October. The ladies meet every Tuesday from three to five at the home of Mrs Sharp. The meetings are always well attended and a large amount of exâ€" cellent work has been done. Up to the week beginning January fifteen, fortyâ€" six pairs of socks and two sweaters have been turned in. Another Good Y ear for the Canada Life Assurance Company Policyholders‘ Div id en ds Again Increased. From now on, the ladies will meet in the Guest House on Wednesday afterâ€" noons from three to five. The meeting on January 17th was well attended, and a large amount of work was started. Wool for socks, scarves and sweaters was distributed, several pairs of towels were hemmed and many skeins of wool wound. Business Manager of the Clarion Given Two Years The average rate of interest earned on all the company‘s investments was 4,29%, compared with 4.25% in 1938. Both principal repayments and interest collections on mortgages were greater than in the previous year. Income from all sources amounted to $39,000,000, an increase of $380,667 over the 1938 figure. Since the new year the ladies of Pamour have held two work meetings to organize Red Cross work,. Previous to this, several ladies had been knitting socks and othe items privately. To date, about a dozen pairs of socks have been handed in, besides two scarves and a sweater. During the year an average of more than $85,000 was paid to policyholders ard each working dayâ€" a total for the year of $25,900,000. More than 70 per cent of this amount was paid to living policyholders and anâ€" nuitants. These payments brought the total distributed to policyholders and beneficiaries, or accumulated on their behalf, to more than $700,000,000 since the company was established in 1847. Sales of new life insurance during the year amounted to $61,000,000. In addition, neéew considerations of almost $1,700,000 were received for annuities. Life insurance in force at the year end totalled $810,200,000. Business in force produced by the company‘s own agents shows an increase for the fourth successive . year. Assets showed further gains during the year, now amounting to $268,000,000, the highest figure in the company‘s history. The company states that valuâ€" ation of assets is substanitally more conservative than the requirements of any government insurance department.

Thus does "Hush" end its objectionâ€" The Russians have, apparently, abandoned all hope of holding the Salla front this winter. They are in full reâ€" treat away from that fateful spot and are on the road to the Russian border. They are taking their equipment with them. Five inth guns began on the road several days ago. It would almost seem that Stalin deliberately sent his poorly clad, badly fed armies into‘ Finland to get rid of them. The Finns are deserving of all credit but probably any race or nation couldâ€"have walloped the type of Rusâ€" sians which were sent to snatch the little demacracy. It would not be beâ€" yond Stalin to do such a thing. After all he deliberately let millions starve in Russia in 1935 because he felt that wheat nceded to be exported. Fortyâ€"nine degrees below zero and the tough, resistant Finns were too much for the Reds on this front at least. They probably will abandon the front altogether and, perhaps, make an attack in the spring. The Russians are in sad condition if nmnewspaper reports and other reports of correspondents can be believed. Those retreating from the Salla front have only flour to catâ€"and not much of that. The Communists have abandoned tanks along the way. It must have been disappointing to Comrade Stalin to see the way his use of tanks went "Phooey". They apparently are no good in the deep snow. They certainly are no good when the Finns bite caps off sticks of dynamite with their teeth and hurl them. Nor are they much good against a simple bottle of gasoline, which when it strikes the heated tank, acts as a bomb. One important feature about this reâ€" treat is that it will release Finnish troops to fight on other quarters. The Petsamo front, for example, cbservers say, is held by only a few men. SIFTING TIHIE NEW S "850 a Month Seen !Too Little for Town Charwomen Final decision was to hire the woman named for the position for a period of thirty days. If she proves to be satisfactory the question of an inâ€" creased salary for her and for the other woman who does cleaning work around the town hall, will be discussed. "Dire Need" A letter from the local Law Associâ€" ation expressed the "dire need" of solicitors for a room in which to interâ€" view clients and smoke and while away the hours between their case on court days. Councillors agreed that Room 3, an upstairs committee room, might be used by the legal luminaries for such a purpose. The Timmins Retail Merchants Assoâ€" clation wrote to ask permission to use the Council chambers for regular monthly meetings. The application was read and put away with others. At the end of the month the applications of all the organizations who wish to make use of the town hall, will be considered. Councillor Eyre: "If the town does not set an example in such things other companies and businesses can hardly be expected to pay fair wages for such work." Mr. J. T. Chenier appeared before the Council to register a complaint about a funeral, which he said was deâ€" layed by a Timmins coroner. He was advised to put his complaint in writing and then to forward it to the proper Provincial authorities or to the Chief Coroner in this district. Coloured Lights Mr. MacLkean, Town Engineer, said that the strings of coloured lights put up for the Christmas season, had been turned out.
