Help You Can to these Gallant Men and Their Families. Surely no one needs to be told of the wonderful work of the British fireâ€" men carrying out their duty in the midst of bombs and other extra dangâ€" ers. It may not, however, be as genâ€" erally recognized how seriously these men and their families have suffered from their dutyâ€"doing. Many of the British firemen have lost their lives, leaving families to be gared for. Still more have been injured doing their duty. The International Fire Fighters Union have recognized the ~notable work of their brother fire fighters in Britain, and the needs they face, and are collecting funds to send them. Of course, the Timmins Fire Fighters are right in line with the International. ‘Toâ€"day (Thursday) they are holding a tag day for the British Fire Fighters. Everybody should give as generously as possible to this cause. Any who care to make a more substantial donaâ€" tion then through purchase of a tag can give or send their contributions to Morris Daher, Timmins Fire Hall.

Officials from the Horticulâ€" tural Branch of the Department of Agriculture at Toronto and other exâ€" pert authorities have been astonished at the display of flowers at the annual horticultural show here. They will have cause for still greater surprise when they see the display of roses at the Rose Show at the Masonic hall toâ€" morrow.
