Two of the youths who are supposed to be involved are already well known to city and provincial police.

While provincial police were called to the scene, no charges have been laid yet pending a full investigation. The protection organization apâ€" proaches the owners of the establishâ€" ments, and warns them to. expect trouble in the immediate future. They offer to stop the group which threatens to wreck the place, if cortain sums of money are paid to them. It is all done in the approved gangâ€" ster style, and if the payoff is not forthcoming., the gang then proceeds to start a fight wilh the result that the polics are called in.

Toronto Exhibition Helps Conservation of Gasoline "Due to the national emergency with regard to the conservation of gasoline the Canadian National Exhibition toâ€" day decided to abandon entirely its program of motorâ€"boat races. Racing motorboats require an inordinate amount of highâ€"quality gasoline. Most of the outstanding racing enthusiasts of the United States and Canada entered their craft in the various classes provided for in the Exhibition‘s program. The entries represented more and better boats than have ever been seen at this oldâ€"established reâ€" gattd. "The management, actuated by the desire to assist in alleviating the prosâ€" ent "gas" situation, has today notified all entrants of the cancellation of the events. It is significant that some of the racing men already have approvéd the action Oof the C.N.E. authorities. Its entire program is attuned, as far as possible, to the war effort, and if further curtailment be in the interest of the cause the management will not hesitate to resort to ‘additional reâ€" trenchment. to join in the gasoline conservation effort â€"being conducted by Canadians at the present time. Elwood Hughes, General Manager of the C.N.E. in h1s statement said: The woman was arrested after an extensive investigation by the Timâ€" mins poli®@ who secured samples of the <woman‘s handwriting and forâ€" warded them to Toronto. Police here also had photographs of the woman, as she had been convicted here some time ago on a charge of drunk driving. These were also forwarded to the Toâ€" ronto police to clinch the identificaâ€" tion. Yesterday morning the Timmins police received a wire from Toronto asking them to arrest the woman for them and immediately two of the conâ€" stables left to take her into custody. A Toronto police escort is expected to arrive in Timmins today to take charge of their prisoner.

The house, which was modern in every respect, was built about three years ago for H. K. Morrison, chief engineer for the C.N. Railway when the new spur was being built from Noranda to Senâ€" neterre. When Mr. Morrison left for Montreal he sold the place to Ed. Laâ€" pointe, manager for Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis. This is the first time that there has been a fire in Noranda in which there has been a casualty, though there have been several such in the twin town of Rouyn. The body is at the Marcoux undertaking establishment. The aroused neighbours at once went to his rescue, rolled him in blanâ€" kets and rushed him to the hospital, where his death occurred five hours later. The fire brigade was called and arrived just after Mr. Reid had been removed. rear of the house and had jumped some 12 feet to the lawn bejow and was racâ€" ing round the garden with his night clothes in fliames. Examination, later of the fence round the back garden showed in places blood and particles of flesh. Mr. Reid had been in Noranda but ten days. He had bseen appointed to succeed Gordon Hendry, who has been manager of the Noranda branch of the Royal Bank of Canada for several years. Mr. Reid came here from Sault Ste. Marie, where he had been manager of the Steelton branch for the past five years, and prior to that he had been accountant. He had made his home in the Sault for the last 10 years. He is about 40 years of age. At the present time his wife and their two children are holidaying at Mrs. Reid‘s home in Windsor, Ont. They were to have joined Mr. Reid the beginning of September, after he had spent his anâ€" nual vacation with them in Windsor. Mrs. Reid has been notified of the tragedy and is expected to arriv»e here. Nothing is known of Mr. Reid‘s moveâ€" ments on the eve of the tragedy exâ€" cept that he was playing golf on the Saturday afternoon, up until about seven o‘clock. Noranda, July 30â€"Clifford A. Reid, manager of the Royal Bank of Canada here came to his death in the early hours of Sunday morning, when fire from an uknown causa completely desâ€" troyed his home, 205 Tremay Road. Very little can be ascertained of the actual details of the tragedy, as Mr. Reid was alone_ in the house. j _ At about 5.30 the next door neighâ€"=â€" bours were aroused by cries of help and the sound of breaking glass.
