Mention was made last week in The Advance of the plan of the Kinsmen‘s Club of Timmins to collect money to send cigarettes to the soldiers overâ€" seas â€" more particularly to those solâ€" diers from the Porcupine area who have no near relatives or friends in position to help them in this way. Canadian soldiers overseas want Canâ€" adian cigarettes. They find difficulty in securing them, even when they ars able to pay for them. The Kinsmen Club‘s idea is to provide them with the "fags" even when they haven‘t the money to buy them. The Kinsmen Club has made arrangements to purâ€" chase cigarettes cverseas at the price the "fags‘"‘ cost here. The financing of the plan is being done by collection made in milk bottles placed in stores, cafes, etc. People are asked to drop their change in these bottles. Practiâ€" cally every cent put in the milk bottles wili go to the purchase of the cigarettes for soldiers overseas. When the plan gets going at full swing, it will be found that a large number of soldiers from the Porcupine district will beneâ€" fit. Drop your change into the milk bottles and help along a plan that should win the approval and support of Aall. Saftich had been discharged from the mine some days before his arrest because of his alleged talking in fawor of Hitler and against the Empire. He was defended by M. J. Garmaise, while the prosecution was conducted by Marâ€" cel Letourneau, representing the crown. This is the third local conviction under the Defence of Canada regulaâ€" tions, a similar fine being imposed in each case. The charge against Saftich was heard on Wednesday, July 10th, lasting through morning and afternoon sesâ€" sions, with eight witnesses being heard against the accused, while he in turn testified in his own defence, claiming that he had not made any statements against Canada or in favor of Hitler since the war started last September, Magistrate Boily had adjourned the case until Monday of this week before rendering his decision.

A real fisherman, he madel every effort to land whatever was on | the end of the line himself, but finally, with great reluctance, was obliged to hand the rod over to Gerald. It took the older boy fifteen minutes to land the big fish, a maskalonge measuring forty inches in length and tipping the scales at fifteen pounds, Then they returned proudly to the cottage with the big "muskie." I Unis was an employee of the Wrightâ€" Hargreaves Mine in Kirkland Lake, and was married three years ago. There is only one child, a 2% year old son, Eric Walter. The victim was of Swedish parentage but was born in Finland. He was not naturalized. Coroner Dr. J. F. Fais of Swastika was called and announced that it was a case of acciâ€" dental drowning. The Police were instantly called and they organized a search party of severâ€" al boats. iConstables MacDougall and Trimble were in several boats, but were not with Sandos and Ivars when they recovered the body. The drowning ocâ€" curred at about one oOo‘clock Tuesday afternoon, and the body was brought up about an hour later. Mrs. Unis later told the Provincial officers who investigated that she had not known how to operate the outboard motor on the boat and tried wading to her husband as a last means of rescue. Unable to start the motor, his wife made a last effort to save her husband by plunging into the water and wadâ€" ing out to him. She went out into the lake until the water was up to her chin, but could not get near enough to her husband to assist him. Coâ€"operation in the saving of tinfoil from cigarette and tobacco packages was asked by Mr. Wendell Brewer. Mr. Ray Eddy spoke briefly telling the members of visits he had made to other «ZLions clubs. With him he brought back some very worthwhile suggestions for the local club. He was thanked by Mr. George Francis. According to the story told the police by Mrs. Unis, her husband, 2% year old son and herself were fishing off a small island near the North Shore. Unis decided to swim the 400 yards to shore in the direction of the beach known as the Boy Scout Beach. The wind, which was blowinz towards shore, drifted his wife and son into shore in their small boat, which was equipped with an outboard motor. When Unis was nearing the beach he began to yell for help. Mr. FP. H. "Chip‘ Ball was elected Treasurer of the Lions Club at the regular meeting held on Thursday night. Mr. Ball will serve the unâ€" expired term of John Holtze, who reâ€" cently was called to Ottawa by the Department of National Defence to serve as a shoe inspector.

It was decided to send a delegation to the meeting to be held in the town hall.

Tag Day The Catholice Women‘s League, at a recent national convention, pleaded itself to raise $25,000 to be turned over to the Dominion government for war work, before September 15. In order to raise its quota the Timmins branch is holding a tag day. It will take place on August 6. A letter of thanks for a grant of $5,000 was received from the Sisters of Providence. The grant, made to St. Mary‘s Hospital, would go to aid sufâ€" fering humanity in this area, it said. The Timmins Citizens‘ Band and the members of the town council met on Thursday night and ironed out some few difficulties and misunderstandings which had arisen between them. At Friday‘s meeting of council Councillor Bill Roberts said that a state of harâ€" monious coâ€"operation had been achievâ€" ed and that there would be no further trouble. | AT THE LOCAL THEATRES | # 44 0 9% 0 0464404008 006 949 %% 40 % 06 % 6 % 4 6 Affording Spencer Tracy and Waiter PBrennan roles which are believed to be more colourful than those which have twice won them Academy Awards, and elevating Robert Young to the threshold of stardom, "Northwest Pasâ€" sage" will be at the Palace theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, July 29th, 30th and 31st.
