Some of the officers and some of the N.C.O.‘s were given a special course while at the camp, and new N.C.O.‘s were created to look after the recruits. When the local company left Timâ€" mins on June 2ist, they left amid a rainstorm and shortly after they arrivâ€" ed at Camp Niagara it started to rain and about twenty men from "D" Comâ€" pany were thoroughly soaked in the rain as they were trapped putting up tents.

There is no doubt but that the Britâ€" ish firemen have shown a courage and resourcefulness that wins the admiraâ€" tion of the world. They have carried on coolly and calmly in the face of all the Hunnish bombings. They have never failed to respond to any call, whether bombs were dropping or not. Indeed, it has bheen during the heavy bombings that the British firemen have had the busiest and most dangerous time. *Many of the British firefighters have given their lives for duty. Othâ€" ers have been injured or contracted serious illness through the hardships of their work. The Timmins Firemen are seeking to help express the public opinion held of the gallant fireâ€"fightâ€" ers overseas. Permission has been granted by the Timmins town council for the Timmins Firefighters local There are none who do not proudly admit that the people of the British Isles are showing a courage and enâ€" durance never evidenced before on such an impressive scale by any people in the face of such punishment as the Hun bombings of recent months. In this wonderful display of courage and determination there are degrees, and in the highest degree pecple will place the firemen, the police, the doctors, the nurses, who have carried out thetr duties as usual, even though bombs were falling all around them.

The International Police Review in an article in the current issue terms Timmins as "the leading safety town in North America." The National Police Review, published in Toronto, is recâ€" ognized as the official organ of the police of the Dominion, the provinces and the municipalities, Here is what the National Police Review says: ‘"‘Timmins, a live Northern Ontario city of 30,000 population, is leading North America‘s ‘Noâ€"Hit Parade.‘ Alâ€" though there are 6,700 motor vehicles registered at Timmins, there has not been a fatal traffic accident during the past 18 months. "Chief Gagnon, head of the Timmins police, explains this unique safety reâ€" cord by saying that there has been a systematic brakeâ€"check on all cars, strict enforcement of speed laws, and severe vigilance over the drunken driver.

Germans Said to Have Failed to Secure Air Superiority. Attacks Repulsed in Ukraine. _ British Bomb Ruhr Conflicting reports on the Russiaâ€" German war from Berlin and Moscow tended to cloud the war news in this morning‘s despatches. The Germans claim to have pierced the Russian lines and claim to have broken through the Stalin Line at several points. The Rusâ€" sians retalliate saying that they have hurled back thrusts at the northern and northâ€"eastern flanks of the Stalin Line. In a nightâ€"long ‘battle near Ostov, the Russian high command claimed to have thrown a Nazi drive that was aimed at the northern and northeastâ€" ern flanks of the Stalin Line, taking a heavy toll of dead and capturing large numbers of German tanks. German thrusts into the Ukraine were also reported to be repulsed in fierce fighting. The Moscow report said that there werse no substantial changes in the positions of either of the armies. The counter attacks of the Soviet army were said to have thrown the, Nazis on the defensive in some places. Mr. Rymer points out that all any employer has to do is to write immeâ€" diately to the Unemployment Insurâ€" ance Commission Bureau at Noarth Bay, sending name and address of emâ€" ployer, nature of business, number of employees, and the North Bay office will then send all books and necessary data for partictpation in the plan. age and casualties were caused by the German planes in scattered areas of northern, eastern and southeérn Engâ€" land. From London it is reported that the Russians are fighting well and that the German Air Force has been unable to get the superiority of the air. It is further reported that the Russians are harassing the German advanced armed forces seriously and that there is no cause for pessimism, even though the Germans have not yet been stbpped. Two dangsrous German drives are developing in the north and the south of the Minskâ€"Smolenskâ€"Moscow railâ€" road. Both drives appear to be develâ€" oping into a pincer movement which might trap Smolensk and a big Rusâ€" sian force in a pocket. Because the Germans have failed to gain complete mastery of the air they are finding it difficult to supply their advance units from the air. British bomber and fighter formaâ€" tions crossed the channel again today in a continuance of Britain‘s dawn to dawn air offensive. All along the ocâ€" cupied coast, they did considerable damage, Strong forces of long range bombers smashed at Munster, Dortâ€" mund, Duesseldorf and Cologne in the rich Ruhr valléy.
