Interesting Meeting Nursing Auxiliary St. John Ambulance Miss Hurley Again Guest Guest Speaker. While many of the towns in Ontario voting on Monday on the question of a twoâ€"year term for municipal councils were in favour of continuing the preâ€" sent oneâ€"year plan, Timmins voted strongly of the twoâ€"year term. The vote on the quesition here seemed to be another evidence that the people of in general favoured the present council even to the extent of extending their term for two years. No doubt the thought of saving money for the war by less firequent elections was another factor. The question on the ballot was:â€" "Are you in favour as a wartime meaâ€" sure under The Local Government Extnsion Act, 1940, of the municipal council elected for 1941 holding office for the term of two years?" The voting was as follows:â€" Yes, 2679; No, 1780.

The cold weather propably has a lot to do with it. To some "goofers" in Timmins an ideal afternoon is a nice, sunny, summer day when they can cadge enough change for a couple quarts of wine and then go to some seciuded spot and spend the afternoon sipping the wine and talking of life and philosophy and cabbages and kings. Many a world problem is settled by these gentlemen of leisure. North Bay Nugget: One of the most ridiculousâ€"appearing political manoeuâ€" vres in history has been attempted by Japan in its war against China. The Japs first created a puppet government right in part of China where they are being fought by General Chiang Kai Shek‘s troops, and then they created a "peace" with the puppet. It is one of the most fanastic and asburd pictures ever painted by a diplomatic move, In Timmins it is a bit different. One accused bootlegger, police said, had a little hole in the frosted window. By breathing frequently on the spot he kept the space open and so was able to see what was going on outside and who was approaching the house. "Yes, I see," said a bright pupil. ‘‘*But how is one to know it does not represent Robert Browning?"‘â€"Globe. A new fashion in peep holes was desâ€" cribed in court in the days of prohibâ€" ition in the United States a bootlegger would have a small trap in the door of his establishment. He could silide the trap opem and have a look at the perâ€" son demanding entry. If he looked as though he was a policeman, the proprietor would have time to warn his other patrons to "cheese itâ€"the cops" before they managed to break down the door. A new system of memory training was being taught in a village school, and the teacher was becoming enthusiâ€" astic. "For instance," he said, "supposing you want to remember the name of a poetâ€"Bobby Burns. Fix in your mind‘s eye a picture of a policeman in flames. Seeâ€"Bobby Burns?" ‘Attendance at court was‘quite goodâ€" back to its normal standard in fact. As is their wont police offitcers brought the witnesses in first and got them the best seats in the front of the court The general public was then allowed to fill the remaining spaces in the chamber. "You are a fellow bus rider of mine",. said the Magistrate, "and if you can‘t tell motor speeds better than I your evidence is not worth much". The Magistrate quesitioned a Mr. Cox, a witness in the hearing of careless driving charges again a motorist and a bus driver who were involved in an accident, rather closely, How, he wantâ€" ed to know, could Mr. Cox, who was not a motorist, gauge the speeds of the cars involved in the crash. Well, said Mr. Cox, he had driven in the past. The Magistrate bore it with fortiâ€" tude until he reached the saturation point and then he told the legal luminâ€" aries} that they would have to cut it out. He made every adjourned case perempâ€" tory for the next court session. Listening to the police court on Tuesâ€" day afterncon one would have received the impression that the lawyers of Timmins were so busy that they were unable to prepare a brief for a police court case. They all wanted adjournâ€" ment, most of them for cases which had been previously adjourned. Grace and Percy Blackman are the children cf Mr. and Mrs. Percy Blackâ€" man, of Enfield, Middlesex, England. They arrived in Halifax after a comâ€" paratively uneventful trip in August. Percy was allowed to continue his jourâ€" ney ten weeks ago, but Grace spent eighteen weeks at Toronto. The youngsters will attend Canadian schaols, and will be Timmins visitors for the duration of the war. Grace a charming English child of eight years, was accompani to Timâ€" mins by Mrs. Gibson, who journeyed to the queen city to welcome her little guest. Mr. and Mrs. Geo., A. Gibson have children, Dorothy and Marâ€" Jorie, aged twelve and fourteen years respec:ively, but along with many other Canadian families are welcoming the English evacuee children to the Doâ€" minion.

Whereupon ‘he imposed sentence of three months, ordered the beer and whiskey confisâ€" cated and made the residence a public place for a year. "What is wrong with you? Noâ€"don‘t gay it. Don‘t tell the public or every one will be getting that disease", the Magistrate commented. He dismissed the charge on the grounds that there was Iinsuflicient evidence for a conâ€" victicn. A charge of keeping for sale against Camille Menard was dsmissed for lack of evidence. Police said that they paid a call to Menard‘s home at 137 Poplar Street, (rear). They were seen approaching the house and a woman rushed in. They followed immediately after and entered just in time to see the three men and the woman in the place trying to hide their beer. Beer and oysters, said Mcenard, were all that he was able to cat. He had throat trouble and those were the only items he could swallow. ‘"Well", said the Magistrate, ‘I have no alternative as to penalty. Three months hard labour, the place made public and the liquor seized." Officers said they had been raiding Menard‘s place "for years". They said t>0o that they had found a number of purchase slips at the brewery wareâ€" house, which slips bore the address of Menard‘s home but was in other names. Wanted to Explain Ernest Legare who hales from "over the river" wanted to explain to the Magistrate why he was obliged to sell liquor. He had been forbidden to work by his physician he said and so had to have recourse to illegal means to keep himself â€" going. Constable O‘Neil said that as so>n as he saw the woman run into the house he ran to a window and lovcked in. The woman rushed in and said "It‘s the police. Hide your beer". Whereupon there was a great scurrying to find suitable hiding places. Asked to comment on the evidence Chimenti who is an Italian, said to the officer who was interpreting for him: "There was nothing else I could do but sell beer. I am a cripple". T‘wo bottles of beer were found nestâ€" ling among the covers in the bed. Anâ€" other couple of opened bottles were hid beside a chair in the kitchen. Published at Tmmins, Ont.. Canada Fvery MONDAY and THURSDAY On Chimenti‘s person police found a small book in which he kept a record of his purchases of beer and his sales Police said on the witness stand that, on the way to the station, Chimenti adâ€" mitted that he sold beer and said that there was nothing else for him to do inasmuch as the town would not give him relief. He said that he sold someâ€" times for 25 cents a pint and sometimes for twenty. Constable Joseph Gariepy said that he paid a call on Chimenti at 162 Pine Street, south (rear), and found o quarts and 17 pints of beer in the house along with a full fortyâ€"cunce bottle of rye whiskey and another bottle very nearly full. Chimenti said that he had no more brew in the place but police officers managed to find 12 more quarts and 24 more pints in the woodâ€"shed.

He fumbled in all his pockets before he was able to find his driver‘s license.
