They told the council that Dr. J. A. MciIinuis had effered to look after the running of the tag day for them. They pointâ€" ed out that the money raised was used to supply comforts and entertainment for the sailors who are in the merchant marine when they get a day. on shore leave. They asked if they could hold the tag day on Saturday, October 18th, and the matter was left to Councilior Roberts who is looking after all the tag days and arranging them so that they don‘t conflict. Gharles A. Campbeil wrote to the council asking if they would consider letting him erect a refreshment stand at the Gillies Lake Park. The council turned down that proposal saying that they had already promised to let the Kinsmen Club operate a stand there. The council decided that if the Kinsâ€" men didn‘t want the stand there, they would let any other of the organizaâ€" tions that are working for war chariâ€" ties have it. | Biggest plece of business on the agenda yesterday was the considering of sealed tenders for the construction of sanitary sewers and watermains. The tenders were opened and considâ€" ered and then the council decided to give the contract to the lowest bidder, the Caswell Construction Limited, of Porcupine. Their price for the jJob was $23,388.90 for the labour and if any rock had to be taken out the price for that additional work was $4.40 per cublic yard.

Followingâ€"are their suggestions: 1. Most doctors make their visits at definite hours, visiting one section of the town after another. If patients will putâ€"in their calls early in the day, before noon when possible, the: doctor can make them on his regular rounds. To delay till late in the day, when illâ€" ness has existed all day or from preâ€" vious days, means a special separate trip to a home which the doctor may have passed earlier in the day.

For today the weatherman says that it will be fairly‘ warm, partly cloudy and probably slight showers. The humidity this morning was 65 degrees, making it seem hotter than it really was. The temperature at eight o‘clock this morning was 60 degrees. Temperatures since Monday were: Monday,, max 75, min. 61;. Tuesday, max. 82, min. 68; Wednesday, max 86, min. 60; this morning, 60.

Between 400 and 500 Articles Collected First Day Yesterâ€" day. Every House Being Canvassed. Suggestions as to How Public Can Help Facilitate Work. Mayor to Start Filling Big "Cage" Toâ€"night.. The Timmins Boys "K" Club has made a remarkable start on the work of collecting aluminum. This metal is urgently needed for war purposes, especially for aircraft work, and the Boys "K" Club is certainly do‘ing its part. Yesterday, the first day of the collection, between 400 and 500 pieces were collected, chiefly pots, pans, ketâ€" tles, a goodly amount for the first day. The boys are making a houseâ€"toâ€" house canvass and are doing a very thorough job. Housewives can help by hunting up any useless articles of aluminum and having them ready for the boys to take away. Remember the BoyS‘ "K" Club is the only authorized collector of salvage in Timmins. Each boy has a card showâ€" ing his authority. There have been attempts to make a racket of the salâ€" vage collection in some places, so ask to see the boy‘s card. If anyone withâ€" out a card from the Boys‘ "K" Club attempts to collect salvage, send for the police. A large wire cage has been erected on Cedar street near the corner of Third avenue. The progress of the collection of aluminum may be folâ€" lowed by watching the way this cage fills up. This evening between 7 and 730 Mayor J. Brunette will toss in the first aluminum articles collectâ€" ed to start the plan going.â€" Represenâ€" tatives of the Kiwanis, the Boys "K" BRITISH BOMB FINNI SH PORT yd ahd others will be presert for Two days ago the Russian army leaâ€" ders announced that they had launchâ€" ed a strong counter offensive against the German forces and that they were meeting with successes all along the line. Today the Nazi high command admits from Berlin that the Russians have launched new counter attacks in the vital Smolensk argea but Insist that the Soviet efforts to relieve the surrounded Russian troops had been beaten off. The Russian communiquh this morn« ing was very short and concise® Ib merly said that heavy fighting continâ€" ued throughout the night in the Pork= hov, Noverzhev, Smolensk and Zhito« mir sectors of the longâ€"drawn battle front. The communique failed to menâ€" tion whether the Russian army were meeting with any success or not. Officials in London are reported as saying that the outcome of the battle of Smolensk, considered one of the most important engagements in ‘the Russian campaign, will depend on the ability of the German command to deâ€" ploy fresh, firstâ€"rate troops against the Russians. It added that the German communique seems complicated â€" by counter attacks reported by passing adâ€" vancing Germans often and attacking lines of communication. Another report says that the Rusâ€" sian counterâ€"offensive against the Gerâ€" mans is meeting with success along the whole line and the Germans are reâ€" ported to .be forced back. Many guns of all calibre and a trainload of ammuâ€" nition was reported captured. The Ger« mans are said to be retreating at the point of bayonet,| in some places through snow. A special Moscow radio report picked up last night in New York, ‘said that the Russian air force has been bombâ€" ing the Ploesti ‘oil region in Rumania daily for four weeks and.great quantiâ€" ties of oll have been destroyed. The output of oil in Rumania is said to have been reduced over fifty percent by these bombings. Some of the oil wells are burning almost steadily. The Germans reported that they had capturedâ€" Leningrad but the Russian headquarters reported that the Nazis had been driven from the outskirts of Leningrad and were now fighting 160 miles away.

The cage is nine feet high, 16 feet long and four feet wide, and will hold a lot of aluminum. The house to house canvass is to be carâ€" ried on until the cage is filled, and then continued anyway till the whole town is canvassed for aluminum arâ€" ticles. "We can build another cage if it is needed," the boys say. For the convenience of ladies down town shopping there have been recepâ€" tacles placed in the A. P. Store, Eaâ€" ton‘s and the Dominion where alumâ€" inum articles may be left. Yvesterday the collection starteda on Lake Shore Road, and Toke street, Patricia, John, James and other streets were canvassed. Today the boys are starting on Cedar street and will work down to Mountjoy. The whole town is to be thoroughly canvassed. The public can help by looking up any discarded articles of aluminum and being ready for the boys. . No articles that simply have to be replaced are desired unless the articles are useâ€" aluminum. The Provincial Government was the first customer the boys had. A quanâ€" tity of aluminum cable has been lying here useless for some years.
