Secure Your Radio License and Help a Returned Soldier Exâ€"Servicemen Again Actâ€" ing as Collectors for This Year‘s Radio Licenses. â€" Radio licenses expired on March 31st and all having radios are expected to renew the license at once. Last year through the good offices of the Legion the work of collecting radio license fees was placed in the hands of a number of exâ€"servicemen in this locality,. The plan was a success last year. Proof of this may be gathered from the fact that Timmins is one of the few larger towns where is was necessary to have a numâ€" ber of ‘court cases to gather in the licâ€" ense fee for 1939. ‘The exâ€"servicemen were so thorough in their work last year that. the greater proportion Cof radio fees were gathered in by them. This year the same plan is being used the service of a number of exâ€"serviceâ€" ‘men being employed to gather in the radio license fees. These returned soldiers are equipped with the necessary credentials and are authorized to isâ€" sue the required license receipts. By purchasing your radio license from one of these collectors you are doing a. double serviceâ€"securing the necessary. license, and helping the soldier to make a little commission. It won‘t be long before there will be other kinds of colâ€" ‘lectors looking for the radio licenseâ€" the kind of collections that will take the matter to court, and the man withâ€" out radio license will have to pay fine and court costs and till be expected to ‘pay the‘litense fee.>, The following are â€"the Legion men authorized to colâ€" Jlect radio license fees:â€" B.

Lieutenant Leo Charlebois Joins Unit for Training of Instructors. The local officer arrived back from Toronto today after passing a medical test for Number 1 Infantry (Rifle) Holding Unit. The specialized unit provides advanced training in Canada for officers and a further course in England. Its purpose is to provideâ€"inâ€" structors to train men in England and in other areas before they see active service. Lieutenant â€" Charlebois said that while he was joining this specialized unit he would not lose his identity as a member of the Akgonquin Rifles. Throughout he would retain the badge and insignia of the Algonquin Rifles and would be known as part of them. Shown here is the captain of the freighter which was in collision with the Halifax pilot ship, Hebriâ€" dean, sending nine men to their deaths. He is leaving the courtroom aftier testifying at a court of inquiry. His officers were also questioned. It is very likely that this course of training will mean a promotion. The arrival in England of Lieutenant Charlebois will mean that two of the family have reached the Old Country. Captain "Jerry" Charlebois is in Engâ€" land at the present time.
