First Group of British Child Guests Arrive at Timmins This Morning Five young evacuees from England eagerly greeted their relatives as they arrived at the T. N. O. station here this morning, after a long trip from England. Canada, they all thought, was a very fine place, and they were glad to make their temporary homes hnhere, The first group to arrive in Timmins, the children were James, Raymond and Sylvia Tann, who will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Murphy, of 164 Maple street north, and Iris Hannah and Royston Henbert Janes, to be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stephens of 8‘ Elm street north. James, aged ten years, Raymond aged twelve years, and Sylvia, aged fifteen years, are from Middlesbrough, England, and are Mrs. Murphy‘s sister‘s children. Iris, aged nine years, and Royston, aged twelve years, are from Newport, England, and are Mrs. Stephen‘s sister‘s children. These British child guests represent the charm and friendliness of many children who have arrived in Canada from England during the past weeks. They left their homes early in August, and were first welcomed in Toronto, from where they travelled to Timmins. Two other children, Margaret Mâ€" Gregor, aged twelve years, from Glasâ€" gow, Scotland, and Percy Blackman, azed seven years, from Enfield, Engâ€" land, who were scheduled to arrive this morning, will remain in Toronto for a few days more. Margaret ana Percy came in contact with German measles, and although they have not been inâ€" fected with the disease, the children have been kept under observation until all danger is past. Margaret will be the guest of Mr. and Myrs. David Houston, of South Porcupine, and Percy will, visit Mr. and. Mrs.. G,° (ilbson, of 20 Messines avenue. "We Need the Gold" Says Dominion Minister of Finance at Banquet Here "We need the gold. For generations gold has been the symbol and structure of financial strength," said the Honourâ€" able James Lorimer Tsley, B.A., KC., LLD., Federal Minister of Finance, speaking at the Empire Hotel on Monâ€" day at a joint meeting of Porcupine service clubs. Mr. Ilsley was one of a number of speakers who addressed meetings of service clubmen at selected points across the continent on behalf of the Second War Loan, which opens on Monday. More than 200 persons heard Mr. Tsâ€" ley say in concluding his address: ‘It. is the spirit of selfâ€"sacrifice which will guarantee the success of this loan. It is that spirit that is more to be deâ€" sired than the gold, that is raising us out of our softness and selfishness; it is this spirit that is giving the youth of our nation strength to work and even to die: it is this spirit that will carry us through to victory." He felt, said the speaker, that it was more fitting for him to speak in the Porcupine camp than in a financial centre such as Toronto or Montreal, because he wished to emphasize the facts that on productive industry was based the financial strength of the Irominion of Canada and that mining was one of the most important of proâ€" ductive industrics, Urges Fullest Measure of Coâ€"operation in Second War Loan.

The mining industry had been A tower of strength to Canada before, said Mr. Ilsley, It had helped pull this nation cut of the depression in better shape than it otherwise would have been.

Last Day to Pay Taxes Without Penalty Toâ€"day (Thursday), Sept. 5th, is the last day for the payment of the second instalment of town taxes. After toâ€"day there is a four per cent penalty on taxes not paid. To facilitate the paying of taxes, the town has been advising rateâ€" payers to send cheques by mail.

Cheques issued toâ€"day and mailed before midnight toâ€"night will be accepted without penalty being imposed . Mr. A. P. Adamson, M.P., for West York, was in Timmins this week. Mr. Adamson may count among his other distinctions that he is one of the few ‘Conservative ~"moembers "elected~to the Member for West York Pays Visit to Porecupine Camp Dominion parliament at the March 26 election this year,. Mr,. Adamson was here to look over some â€"mining proâ€" perty in which he has interests, but with ‘still greater interest to study the medical services and hospitalization systems in the Porcupine camp. Mr. Adamson believes that general health services will be the next social welfare measure likély to be before the Dominâ€" ion House and ‘he is anxious to have data on practical plans that have been successfully carried through in the Timmins district. He was much imâ€" pressed with the health and hospitalizâ€" ation services provided by the Hollingâ€" er and McIntyre Mines and particularly with the way in which the mines and the men coâ€"operated in these plans. The system in the Porcupine, he felt, were especially valuable in the wider sphere of the Dominion as they proâ€" vided a basis for the broader plan and having passed the experimental stage offered data by which the Dominion might avoid mistakes in any scheme inaugurated. Mr., A. P. Adamson, M.P., Here This Week. New Timmins Market to Be Open Every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday Canadian Soldiers Make Many Friends Over in England Fine New Building Will Serve Needs in Good Shape. Crowds at Market Each Day Since Opening on Saturâ€" day. Farmers Bringing in Excellent Line of Products. An odd coincidence followed the pubâ€" lication in The Advance last week of a letter from Sapper Arthur Orr, now "somewhere in England." In his letter Sapper Orr spoke in high terms of the hospitality and friendship of the Engâ€" lish people and referred to the splenâ€" did entertainment given the boys overâ€" seas by the NAAFI. Reading the letter, Mrs. C. Briggs was reminded of the fact that her sister in England was an active member of the NAAFPITL Next came a letter from that sister in England, with cheerful vein to show that the frightfulness of the gangster Huns has left the English people unâ€" afraid, confident and cheery. In the letter were also references to the Canâ€" adian boys:â€""Some of your splen@id 'Camdian boys are here." "A finer lot ,of young men I have never met." "A Finer Lot I Never Have Met," Says One English Lady. ; Mr. A. Rousseau, president of + Cartier Theatre Company, w i1 mins this week. Speaking today before the House. of Commons, Prime Minister Winston Churchill described the Britishâ€"Ameriâ€" can destroyer deal as "a memorable transaction." The agreement would encourage Britain‘s friends throughout the world, he said but he warned "it would be a mistake to try and read into the official notes more than the doecuâ€" ments bear on their face." The American destroyers would be put into service immediately.. Amidst laughter he said that British crews are already meeting the destroyers "by the long arm of coincidence." "Adol{f{ Hitler no doubt will not like the transfer of destroyers and T have no doubt that he will pay the United States out if he gets a chance," the Prime Minister said. ‘"We are going to be a good deal stronger next year than now,"* ‘the Premier said, "although we are quite strong enough for the work at hand." No one could say how far Hitler‘s emâ€" pire would extend before the war was over but the speaker had no doubt that it would pass away as swiftly and perâ€" haps more swiftiy than did that of Napoleonâ€"though without any of its glory. In her daylight raids against Britain Germany lost planes at the rate of three to one and pilots at the rate of six to one, Mr. Churchill said. He exâ€" pected the German air force to "magniâ€" fy and multiply" its attacks during Sseptember., . During the month of August 1,075 civilians were killed in England in air raids and a slightly greater number seriously injured. Hight hundred hcouses were destroyed or damaged. ~~Neither Britain nor Crermany had yet employed its full strength in aecrial warfare, although the Germans have put forth a larger proportion of their air strength than Britain had found necessary, up to the present, to employ against them. The first meéeting for the season of the A.YP.A. was held on Wednesday evening at the parish hall, with Captain Butler presiding. A special guest durâ€" ing the evening was the Rev. Bythel, Port Stanley, publisher of the Parish Magazine. The first meeting of the season took the form of a viceâ€"president‘s night, and a tour of the Thompson building was included in the programme for the evening. Firstâ€" Meeting of the Season for the A.Y.P.A. Announcement was made that the local council of the District AYIP.A. wili meet on Friday evening in South Porcupine The new Timmins Market, a fine building of cement block at the cormer of Mountjoy street and Second avenue, was officially opened on Saturday morning, when a large crowd of wise shoppers visited the premises, and purâ€" chased the produce offered by fourteen District of Cochrane farmetrs. Before noon of that day, all that had been brought to the market place by the farmers was sold, and each day of this week the sale of produce has been very rapid. The market has twentyâ€"five booths, and was managed up until noon toâ€"day by Mr. Edward Gauthier, who returned to his former position at that time to be replaced by Mr. Joe Therriault. During this week, the market was opeth each day, but commencing today (Thursday) will be open only three days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
