Concluding GrandConcert of Festival of Music Shows Big Array of Talent The chief work at the Red Cross sewing rooms in Timmins during April was the making of clothing for the civilian populaton of Britain. In a recent bulletin from headquarters it was pointed out that this type of work would continue to increase and that there would be an even greater deâ€" mand for civilian clothing after the war.. As this branch is considered one of the wealthy ones of the province it is asked by headquarters in the quotas to make the heavier articles of clothing., such as outdoor coats and suits, which require good material. In order to carry out this work it was necessary to purchase four new elecâ€" tric sewing machines. A new rotary cutting machine has been ordered, deâ€" livery of which is expected before the end Oof the month.. This will be set up on a suitable table in the work room in the basement of Shragge‘s store. Instead of the twenty women who have been working in groups doâ€" ing the cutting, only one will be reâ€" quired to operate the cutting machine and three or four helpers to assemble the garments thus releasing the other cutters, who are also very good sewâ€" tn cew in the workrooms.

The two byâ€"laws regulating the early closing of the drug stores and grocery stores were passed at the request of the store owners after petitions liad been presented to the Council. Two other byâ€"laws that the council passed were two that established _ a police office and a lock up. Evidently before yesterday afternoon no person had legally been locked up or detained in the local jail. These byâ€"laws were passed on the recommendation of the two solicitors. It was brought out that if any person had ever broken out of jail here they could not be legally charged with the offence. Another of tha byâ€"laws was one that regulated the fixing of tag days in the municipality. It was pointed out that the request for a tag day had to be n the hands of the town officials at least two months before the date wanted. A milk byâ€"law that consisted of 39 clauses and covered every stage of the business from the time that the cow was milked till the milk was consumed was also passed. It was another byâ€" law that was brought up to date at the request of the solicitor. A letter was read from Lemuel Carr asking it the town would sell him a portion of OQ‘Neill avenue. It was shown that the town could sell that part of the street at no inconvenience to themselves. Council decided that they would have a look at the property and then fix a price on it and offer it for sale. The engineer‘s department will be consulted before any action is taken. The guest speaker at the Timmins Lions Cluhbh meeting this. (Thursday) evening will be Mr. A. A. Ferland, director of publicity of the District of Cochrane Victory Loan campaign.

Six New Byâ€"Laws Were Passed at Yesterday‘s Meeting of Council{ Six new byâ€"laws were passed at the regular meeting of the Timmins counâ€" cil yesterday afternoon, the most imâ€" portant being two that govern the hours that drug stores and grocery stores may remain open. .

Established 1912 Tenth Annual Meet Timmins Cricket Club, on May 18 Council has decided to buy a caterâ€" pillar tractor and snowplough attachf ment. It was pointed out that delivery could not be definitely promised beâ€" cause the factory was doing some war work for the Department of National Defence and they had to slacken up on the production of any of their own proâ€" ducts. It was also pointed out that the new tractor is the same as the one that the town now has, only it is larger. It is a dieselâ€"operated machine. The cost is $9,990.00. A plumbing byâ€"law and a zoning byâ€" law were deferred till next week. Shore road were both deferred, The town clerk presented a schedule of the public works that the town could do this year and still stay within the limit of $50,000 that was set by the Municipal Board. He said that there were still some more of the works that could be taken off if the council wished. The council decided that they would meet on Priday afternoon and have a look at the works that were to be done. An amendment to the building byâ€" law was passed that put a section of property near the T. N. O. tracks in a different fire zone. Another amendâ€" ment to the Fire Department byâ€"law No. 645 was deferred.

French Stand to Lose Entire Colonial Empire. Anthony Eden charged in the Houes of Commons in London yesterday that one of the terms of the parley betweon Hitler and the Freonch Viceâ€"Premier was that Germany be allowed to send torpedo boats down the Rhone River to the Mediterranean. These boats are already getting down there he said. He added that the French people were kept in the dark about the concessions that the French will have to make to Germany for the removing of some of the restrictions on unoccupied France. It is reported that Germany has agreed to move the border between occupied France and unoccupied France back so that only oneâ€"fifth of France will be occupled. A number of French prisoners will also be allowed to return to France. These prisoners will be made up mostly of farmers. A reduction of 25% in the cost of the upkeep of the German army of occuâ€" pation has also been mentioned as one of the concessions. Publicity Committee Has Many Plans to Rouse Interest in Victory Loan Campaign to Start With Monster Parade and Drumhead Service on Sunday, June 1st. Special Children‘s Essay Contest, Torck Day Ceremony, Decoration of Build« ings and Many Other Features, So far the fact that Germany wants to send torpedo boats down the Rhone River is the only concession that the French know that they have to make. It is intimated that the French will give Germany the right to occupy Syria in North Africa.

British planes are reported to have bombed jetties and buildings in a daylight raid on the German island of Helligoland yesterday. A number of fires were started and damage is expected to be hkeavy. Barracks and gun positions on the island were raked with machineâ€"gun fire as the planes flew low. The whole operation was completed before the ground defences could ibe organized and none of the ailrcraft were lost. It is reported this morning that the Axis troops on the Egyptian frontier have been thrown back about forty miles and suffered heavy losses. This puts the Axis drive back near Sollum where it started from.
