The matter was geferred till a decision was reached regarding the parking meters as the whole traffis setâ€"up would have to be changed when they were installed. The council had quite an argument about whether they should get the meters or not. Councillor Bartleman suggested that the whole council should have gone to Sudbury to inspect the meters because the way it was now everybody was talking about something that they knew very little about. Counâ€" cillor Spooner agreed that they should know more about the machines before they tisd themselves down to any conâ€" tract. Councillor Roberts said that he had met the Timmins Merchants‘ Asâ€" sociation the night before and that the concensus of opinion at the meetâ€" ing was that they were in favour of the parking meters. Council finally decided to send to the company for a sample contract. The council decided that they are going to try installing the parking meters if the terms of the contract are favourable, A letter was reag from the Dual Parking Meter Co. stating that they would install a hundred metâ€" ers for a trial period at no expense to the council. The price quoted was $93.35." Two men would be sent to Timmins to install the machines and one man would remain here to keep the meters in good working order. If at the end of the trial period the counâ€" cil were not in favour of keeping them they would be removed at the comâ€" panys expense.

To Hang Hitler In Timmins ADMIRAL SCHEER OPERATING Published at Tmmins, Ont., Canada Every MONDAY and THURSDAY Lieut.â€"Gen. Neame won the V.C. in the last war while serving in the Royal Engineers of the British Imperiai Army. He is about fifty years old and it was learned that he was in comâ€" mand in Palestine before being transâ€" ferred to Egypt. No definite word is known as to when Lt.â€"Gen. Neame was transferred to Egypt. Lieut.â€"Gen. Phillip Neame, one of the British Generals reported capturâ€" ed in Lybia recently, is a cousin of Austin Neame, of Timmins, The Adâ€" vance learned this morning. Lieut.â€"Gen. Phillip Neame Won the V.C. in the Last W ar. Captured British General Cousin of A. Neame, Timmins. The whole matter shows how wholeâ€" heartedly the British are out to use every decent means to help win the war, and the ingenuity displayed to accomplish this purpose is so outâ€" standing that it does not promise well for the enemy. A Scottish lady in Timmins recently received a letter from an oldâ€"estabâ€" lished and highly reputable firm of solicitors in Glasgow, this letter giving very striking evidence of the economy and ingenuity of the people in Briâ€" tain and the fact that imey are taking all possible ways and means to help win the war. They know that every economy in such things as paper means material, labour and money reâ€" leased for war purposes. The letter was written on the back of another letter and there was still room availâ€" able to use it in reply. The plan for economy was still more evident in the senvelope, which had been used at least three times, and was all ready to be used again. It would be a very simple matter to use it to send an answer to the solicitorsâ€"to whom it was addressed in~the first place. When the soli¢itors received it in the ffirst place they opened it by slitting it along the top edge. To send it out a second time all that was necessary was a use a piece of gummed paper catrying the new address, the top edge of this poper begin used to cover the slit made in the top of the envelope. The third time the envelope was used the gummed slip was simply pasted over the top of the previous slip, with the addition that enough paper was used to cover the top of the envelope' that had been slit. Apparently, this method of reâ€"using envelopes is genâ€" eral throughout all Britain and not confined to the thrifty Scots. The Advance has heard of "several such reâ€" used envelopes reaching Timmins from London, England, from ‘Bristol, from Coventry and other places. Eviâ€" dently the gummed slips necessary are | available at nominal rate and are in very general use. The plan is to atâ€" tach the gummed slip on the top of the envelope only, so as to close the | slit made in opening the envelope afâ€" ter its previous use. This leaves t,he! original address uncovered. Accordâ€"| ingly the envelope may be used as al return addressed envelope, or to send to anyone else. Even the postal stamp cancellation mark shows the spirit of thrift. It bears the words:â€" «Save Waste Paper, Metals, Rags, Bones."‘ | Striking Example of Briâ€" tish Economy and Ingeâ€" nuity.
