Timmins Firefighters are to hold a tagâ€"day con ~July 10th (Thursday of next week) for the benefit of the Britâ€" ish firemen whose work during the war has been simply wonderful in its galâ€" lantry and selfâ€"sacrifice. The local firemen have received the necessary permission from the town council for this tag day, and now all that remains is to secure the support of the public. ‘The local firemen are sure of this in view of the notable cause. _ It is adâ€" mitted that tag days have been numerâ€" ous this year, but this is one that will make very general appeal. The British firemen have won a remarkable repuâ€" tation during the war. Many of them have lost their lives in doing their duty. Others have been injured. All have risked health and limb and life itself in their daily work. Despite blackâ€" outs and bombings, the British fireâ€" men have carried out their duty as usual. They fight fires with bombs falling all around them. They respond to calls, when to leave the shelters seems to be to court death. The Britâ€" ish firemen kave added lustre to the fame of firefighting. For courage, useâ€" fulness, service, selfâ€"sacrifice they have won outstanding regard in a la/d where every man, woman and child has shown the qualities that mark the hero. It goes without saying that they have suffered seriously in their noble work of rescue and protection. The#s are the families of firemen who have given their lives to doing their duty. There are sick and injured firemen. There are those who have lost their all in trying to protect property and lives. The International FPirefighters Assoâ€" ciation has undertaken the work of helping their firemen overâ€" seas. As members of the International Union, the local firefighters are proud to join in the plans to collect funds for the British firemen. Tag day on Thursday, July 10th, will give the ggnâ€" eral public opportunity to help this Injured in Fall From Sceaffold This Morninsg Ethian â€" Labelle â€" Suffering from Shock and Slight Injuries.

Mclsaac First Victim of the River This Year The remains of the late John R. McIsaac, who was drowned in the Mattagami River, near the Riverside Pavilion on Tuesday afternoon, were shipped to his home at Little Judique, Nova Scotia, on the early afternoon train on Wednesday. The deceased, who had gone down to the river with two friends, Owen Cameron and Donald McPhee, could not swim, but had been spending A leisurely day on the beach. _ Appatrâ€" ently, he had slipped off a log into deep water, and when the body was brought up after a half hour of diving by his friends, efforts at resuscitation proved futile. The members of the fire department and Dr. Garrett workâ€" ed on the body for more than one hour, but finally Coroner Dr. Minthorn proâ€" nounced the man dead. The late Jack McIsaac, was twentyâ€" four years old, and resided at fortyâ€" six Fourth avenue. He had. come to Timmins in 1940 from his home at Little Judique, Nova Scotia, and had one sister here, Mrs. Angus J. Macâ€" Donald. He was an employee of the Aunor Mine. Service and interment will take place at Little Judique. Eisewhere in this issue will be found an urgent appeal from the Timmins Red Cross for more sewers and kniftâ€" ters. All are asked to read and to heed. It is explained that there is very serious shortage of civilian clothâ€" ing and seamen‘s knitted supplies. The demands for these are constant. The Red Cross warehouses in England are kept drained of these supplies, while seas. The Canadilan Red CroSs nas never failed to meet any call yet. It can notâ€"must notâ€"be allowed to fall in this case. The appeal is to all the women of the town. If you have been a@ worker, is it possible for you to do a little more to meet the special needs? At least if you are leaving for vacation can you not see that your place is more than fillied so that there may be no slackening? If you have not been helping, try and arrange to aid in this great work. The local Red Cross has taken the very limit of trouble to make it possible for all to help.

In the Borisov area the Nazis have made repeated efforts to cross the Brazina river, but have been repulsed eachâ€" time. Russia claims to have halted a heavy force of tanks adâ€" vancing in on the Luck area, with severe Nazi loses. Stalin admitted in a broadcast to his people that the Germans had made great gains, and said the Russians were fighting for liberty and life itself. He called on them to fight to the death. He admitâ€" ted that the Nazis had captured Lithuania, part of Latvia and parts of White Russia and the Ukraine. But, he said, Russia had already smashed several of the best German divisions and that Russia was just mustering its forces and beginning to cali on its strength. He instructed the people, in case of any and every German adâ€" vance, to remove or destroy everything, every tool and utensil, every bit of grain, or oil, or ore, or food, or anyâ€" thing that might help the enemy. "‘Leave nothing eatable or useful," he said. *"Fight individually and collecâ€" tively," he exclaimed. *"The enemy will soon learn our numbers are endâ€" less." f } The German communique suggests that the Russian army‘s powers of resistance now seem broken. . Soviet troops are reported as retiring all along the eastern front. It is claimed that German and Rumanian troops have smashed across the Pruth river and are driving towards the Dneister river. . (Military experts in London are quotâ€" ed as saying that the German spearâ€" head east of Minsk had been ordered to drive on to Moscow at all costs. A big scale battle was reported as swing~â€" ing back and forth on the front east of Luck.â€" The Germans report the capâ€" ture of 100,000 Russians and much equipment. General Auchinleck, new â€" British commanderâ€"inâ€"chief for the middle east considers a German victory over Russia of little consequence, so long as Britain holds the seas and keeps growâ€" ing in strength in the air.. General Auchinleck was commanderâ€"inâ€"chief in India until this week when he was named to replace General Wavell, who in turn takes General Auchinleck‘s place in India.
