Algonquin Regiment to Be Mobilized as a Unit For Overseas Service Capt. A. K. Stirling yesterday reâ€" ceived a telegram from Col. J. B. Stewâ€" art, O.C., of the Aligonquin Rifles giving the information that the Algonquin Regiment will become an Infantry Pioneer Battalion, CASF. Mobilizaâ€" tion, however, will nct commence for zgome time. _This means that there is official word now that the Algonquins will proceed overseas as a unit. This is what the men of the regiment and the people of the North have been asking for some time, as it has been felt by all that the regiment maintained during the past years through the loyalty of offiâ€" cers and men should be allowed the privilege of going overseas as a unit It is also a strong sentiment in the North that this area should be repreâ€" sented overseas by at least one special unit from the North. . But Mobilization Not t;q__'!‘a_l(_e Place for Some Time. Alâ€" As good soldiers, neither officers nor men of the Algonquins have any comâ€" ment to make except that they are delighted that they are going overseas as a unit. The Advance, however, venâ€" tures the cpinion that there are two handicaps still apparent in the matter. The one is the fact that mobilization will not take place for some time. The other is the lack of proper training quarters for the men. For some time Vol. XXV. No. 44 past the suggestion has been urged that the regiment be given the work of building their own armcoury. If this is not practical, large quarters should be secured. Perhaps, the Timmins arena might be secured for a few months for the work.

"Cockeyed Financing," Says Karl Eyre. Tag Day July 9. 7 "Pay the whole thing and get it off the bocks. Deon‘t hold it over to 1941. It‘s cookeyed financing anyway," said Councillor Karl Eyre, at the meeting of the town fathers on Friday afterâ€" noon. He referred to two notes for $1,500 each, owed Feldman Motor Company by the Town of Timmirs. It appoeared that in 1939 the Council devided that two specially designed truck were needed to collect garoage. Accordingly they bought them from the Feldman Motor Sales for $2,300 each. They paid Feldman‘s $1,600 cash on the $4,58000 account and gave two notes. each for $1,500 for the remaindâ€" er of the account. One note was due on May 1, 1940, and the other due on May 1, 1M1. Furthermore, the acsount was not provided for in last year‘s estimates. It was shifted over to the next Counci! to make provision for. Interest on the notes was six per cent. Said Councilior Rcoberts: "It is the same thing with the street oiling, The people have to pay for it this year. It was the same thing with relief. Beâ€" cause of the blunders of the 1939 Counâ€" cil the poor relief recipients are getâ€" ting less this year. They have been paying all year for the mistakes of the 1939 Council." Miss Terry: "Of all the silly thingsâ€" to pay six per cent on a note when it is ncss‘ble for us to borrow money at four per cent. It sounds silly to meâ€" the town buying trucks on the time payment pian. The matter finally was referred to gonquil{ufi;gii;n‘e‘n{t' Will Become an Infantry Pioneer Battalion of C. A. S. F.

Police are asking the coâ€"operation of bicycle owners in seeing to the licencing of their machines. _ Chief Constable Leo H. Gagnon warned that a large number of owners had not cbâ€" tained 1940 licenses and that steps would be taken to enforce the law if cwners did not soon obtain them.

Much Interest Shown in the Hobby Show Held Here A fairly large number of parents and friends attended the Hctby Show held Various hobbies showed the interest the boys took in this form of pastime, and the excellence with which they carried out their interest in the various hobbies. The display, although not as large as at other shows, was a varied and interesting one, and brought much favourable comment. Councillor Roberts: "It might be pointed out to these people that A show located just outside the town takes just as much money out as one located inside. Furthermore, the town loses a $300 license fee, A year ago when the circus came to Tirmnins and located just over the river the town lost a $500 license fee." Published at Timmins, Ont..

Wave after wave of German bombers swept over Paris this morning dropping bombs in a ring outside the capital and starting a number of fires, Six waves swept over the city in two raids. More than 155 bombers took part. Oone bomb went through the roof of a building where French Air Minister Laurent Eynac was giving a formal luncheon and very nearly struck Wiuâ€" liam C. Bullitt, U.S. Ambassador to France. Shortly after the air raid alarm Gerâ€" man planes were â€" reported coming over "in great numbers." For an hour thousands of men and women huddled in air raid shelters as a fleet of planes circled over the Paris area. One bomb fell on a seven storey apartment house. At least 15 civilians were known to be killed. Windows were shaken in the centre of the city and from the sound of the blasts and the volumes of smoke rising observers conâ€" cluded that the damage was considerâ€" alble. The antiâ€"aircraft guns, sending up a hail of shells, were joined by roofâ€"top batteries. Above the steady pounding of the guns and the rattle of machine guns, could be heard the steady drone of the bombers and the pursuing French machines. Climbing high to avoid the barking antiâ€"aireraft guns, the German planes moved over the centre of the old city, past Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Madelon and other historic places. The raid caught Paris just after the noon hour. French commentators suggested that the raids on the Rhone Valley over the weekâ€"end in which at least 5b6 persons were killed and 100 injured, were carâ€" ried out to impress Ttaly with the abilâ€" ity of the German air force to assist on a possible new, southern front.
