Inside this suitcase were found by the Sergeant (who opened it in the presence of another Mountie) pamphâ€" lets in the Russian language from the Central Committee of the Communist Party in Canada. All were in Russian. ‘The sergeant read a warning to Noâ€" vak and explained his action. Novak E€ergeant Kirk of the RCM.P., statâ€" ed that on MaÂ¥ 1st acting on informaâ€" tion received from the RCM.P, in ‘Toronto came in to South Porcupine and arrested Novak as he was taking of a subversive nature, illegal or sediâ€" tious, prejudicial to the progress of the war, pleaded not guillty and was deâ€" fended by. Lawyer Liecberman. This case which took a very long time was finally concluded in Timmins police court early in the afternoon, all the principals going over for the sesâ€" Accused through his lawyer had noâ€" thing to say, so was committed for trial at a higher court.

A cable received at stated "Czech Red Cross in London deâ€" stroyed <but all Canadian Red Cross material sent there was â€"salvaged. They worked . all Saturday night saving clothing and supplies, and total losses almost nil." Among statements made, was that a policeman had said to accused from "rcross the street"â€""How do you feel now?" (after his last appearance in court in a liquor case). And in reply to this, Prijitely said, "That make me mad. I can step on him." In the letâ€" ter which the P.P. were investigating the following extract (notâ€"the whole letter) was read in court: : "For my life I do not care. I shall take the gun Dean Kester, K.C., acted as counsel for Prijitely. Mr. Colhart, Director of Liquor Permits of the Provincial Liquor Control, from Toronto, was questioned in ‘the case. Sergeant Elliot, of the Ontario Proâ€" vincial Police stationed at Timmins, testified that upon receipt of a letter sent to him from the O.L.C. Board he had interviewed defendant at his home in South Porcupine. He advised Priâ€" jitely that he was there to investigate statements made by accused in writing against his officers. He asked if acâ€" cused had written the letter which he placed before him. His answer was, ‘"Maybe I say too much in that letter, just how I feel. I don‘t write very good English, but had good education in my own language." A signature applied to a statement made by accused was recognized as being similar to that appended to the letter: sent to the Liquor Control Board. Supplies given by the Canadian Red Cross to Czech and other refugee groups in England since the beginâ€" ning of the year total 376,055 comforts and hospital supplies and 225,066 arâ€" ticles of relief clothing.

Many people who missed the event but who were impressed by the enâ€" thusiastic comments of others will be glad to know that they will have an opportunity this evening to see the inâ€" teresting and amusing comedy drama, "Don‘t Darkken My Door‘"‘ This play was recently presented by the Timmins United. Church Young People‘s Socâ€" iety. It made a decided hit, both for the play itself and for the excellent cast that presented it. This (Thursâ€" day) evening the play is to be preâ€" sented again by the Y.P.S. in the Kiâ€" wanis hall, Fourth avenue. The curâ€" tain will rise at 8.30 p.m. and from then on to the end of the entertainâ€" ment ‘the audience will have nothing but genuine enjoyment The play "Don‘t Darken My Door,‘" is being reâ€" peated by the Y P. 8. for the benefit of the local Bomb Victims‘ Fund.

He also stressed the fact that the interpreter had difficulty in transâ€" lating the Russian letter. His client, he said, was the victim of circumâ€" stances. Twelve illegal parkers paid $1. and costs. For making unnecessary nolse (tooting horn), $1 and costs. For having no operator‘s license, Bowman paid $5 and costs. 'I'hreb speeders paid $10 and costs. Presenting Comedy Drama Toâ€"night for Bomb Victims Fund Mr. Lieberman stated that his client‘s record (14 years in Canada) was clean. He had never been in the hands of police. before. (The Bench asked: "Have you got his record from the old country?"â€"to which the anâ€" swer was "No.").

Postmaster McLeéllan on the witness stand produced a duplicaté stub from the post office records showing that Novak remitted $9 on Dec. 14th, 1940, payable to Mr. Sawka. An interpreter read (with difficulty)‘ the letter found in Novak‘s room under the hat.. As near as possible the transâ€" lation was to this effectâ€"but cryptic as queries were given and it appeared to be guardedly written â€" ‘"Dear friend Novak‘"â€"50 pieces 6 for you and am writingâ€"10 pieces send to Kapuskasâ€" ing (Dupow P.O.

S. to Repeat "Don‘t Darken My Door." Mrs. Niemi (defended by Lawyer Gardiner) was given the benefit of the doubt in connection with a charge of ‘"having beer." . A key figured largely in the evidence, and a bathhouse in which the beer was found. Mrs. Niemi denied knowledge of the beer and ty2 coincidence of a key on a bunch in her possession which fitted the lock on the bathhouse door, was not adâ€" mitted as conclusive evidence.

Due to the great loss suffered in bombings, the Red Cross has been unable to build up any reserve in Civilian supplies. The need is becoming greater every day. This need, in conjunction with the fact that the Red Cross has space available on all ships sailing just now, has resulted in the announcement from Headquarters that there should be no slackening in the effort during the summer months. The Schumacher Branch workâ€"room will remain open throughout the summer holiday season and more volunteer workers are urgâ€" ently required. ie A delicious lunch was served by the hostess, Mrs. T.

Annual Kiwanis Mr. Gibson‘s address was listened to throughout with the keenest interest by all present. Its effectiveness was increased by ‘being illustrated by a motion picture film that gave graphic representation of the improvement that had taken place in the mines in the way of ventilation and dust conâ€" trol in recent years. As the film proâ€" gressed, Mr. Gibson gave a running commentary describing good ventilaâ€" tion practice and indicating what the mines are doing in the interests of the health and safety of those working in connection with the mines. As picture was shown, Mr. Gibson gave effective explanation. He indicated where dust samples were collected in various parts of the mine and anâ€" alyzed, and the plans made for imâ€" provements after the facts and condiâ€" tions had been carefully studied. Mr. emphasized the danger of vast dust concentrates following blasting if ventilation is not properly controlled. Speaker and pictures alike gave a conâ€" vincing story of the vital need for venâ€" tilation and dust control in mines. The contrast shown between men working in mines where ventilation and dust were not controlled and men working under the improved system of toâ€"day in local mines were there is ample venâ€" tilation and the dust is under control was effectively presented.

Ennis, chairman of the Disâ€" trict of Cochrane Committee of the Victory Loan, will address the public over the air on the Victory Loan on Saturday afternoon from 4.50 to 5 p.m. (Continued from Page One) spent ten years in South American mines, and had won international reputation for his work in connection with research into the problems of ventilation and dust control.
