Alaska Important Strategic Point for Russia, Japan Alaska, said Salvation Army Brigadier| Acton to the Kiwanis Club on Monday, is a great and important country fori many reasons. It was a strategic point of considerable importance with regard to Russia and Japan. Up until six years ago there were no fortifications whatever dbut there now were 3,500 American airmen permanently stationâ€" ed on one of the small islands. _ It looked as though the United States would soon begin to fortify the whole coast.

Paul Boisvert, described as a Sudbury miner, was working, authorities said, and so the Magistrate gave him another chance. He was alleged to have stolen a pair of shoes in a local store. The shoes were recovered.

The other was that William Bolâ€" duc, Anthony Hoff, William Forbes, George Timm and Emanuel Grenier enâ€" tered the warchouse on February 13 and stole tires to the value of $160. Hofl' and the Timm brothers, Paul and George, each received sentences of six months in jail on the charges against them. Forbes and Grenier each were sentenced to three months and Bolduec was placed on suspended senâ€" tence. Hoff. Forbes, George Tiunm and Greâ€" nier all had previous police court conâ€" victions. All three had been charged with breaking and entering. Albert Lariviere, who ‘bought four tires from the boys, was sent to jail for three months. Constable Angelo Guolla said that Lariviere admitted to him that he bought four tires for $5 knowing they were stolen. In a statement which ‘was read out in police court Lariviere said that the boys came to him and told him that they had four tires. They askâ€" ed $10 for them. He "stalled"‘ them off for a time and, finally, they lowered their price to $5. Then they all got in his car and went to a local brick yard, One of the boys got out of the car and returned with the tires. He gave them the money as "they wanted to go to the midnight show." Lariviere pleaded "not guilty" in court but when asked if the statement was correct, he said that it was. At that Magistrate Atkinson rapped out sentence. "Three months," he said. Dismiss Fraud Charge A charge that he committed fraud by clothes on the understanding that he was working at a time when he . was unemployed, against Fred Groves, was dismissed. â€"Joe Winton, proprietor of the Esquire Shop, where: Groves got the suit, said that the accused chose a suit sample. He paid a deposit of $15 and agreed to pay. twoâ€"thirds. of the. amount of the suit, $35, before he took it. When the suit arrived Groves asked to take it on payment of $5 more. Mr. Winton said that he allowed him to do so when Groves told him that he was employed at the Windsor Hotel. |It was only on that understanding that he allowed him to have the suit. Had he known at the time that Groves was not working he would have retained the suit. Magistrate Atkinson dismissed the change. He said that so far as he could see it was a matter for division court. Groves had at least paid $20. Cochrane.â€"When it comes to econâ€" omizing, Cochrane has a running start over many another community. THREE NEW JOBS GIVEN TO FIRE CHIEF AT COCHRANE Burdened with a $3,000 deficit from last year and the prospect of pluging deep into the red again during 1940, council advanced the mill rate one, to 49; cut the fire chief‘s salary 50 per cent, and saddled him with the extra duties of weed inspector, cemetery keeper and assistant sanitary inspector. In another effort to head off an exâ€" pected deficit again this year, council lopped $2,000 off road and sidewalk expenditures. Repairs to the sewage disposal plant accounted for the municipal financial stringency, and as there is still further work to be done on the plant, the town expects another financially diffiâ€" cult year during ‘40.
