Appeal for More Workers C ETE e e oo e Last week The Advance published an article headed "Schumacher Red Cross: Appeals for More Workers," and indiâ€". cating that the appeal came with the report of the August shipment. It was stated in The Advance that the report would appear in the present issue. In preparing the report for this issue, it is noted that it shows the shipment for August from the Eastern Porcupine District Branch of the Red Cross, and not from Schumacher. It was not possible to publish the report and the appeal in the last issue and in printing the appeal which was felt to be urgent, the error was made. As far as Schuâ€" macher is concerned the mistake will do no harm as Schumacher Red Cross is also in need of more workers. In fact, the appeal is applicable to Timâ€" mins Red Cross as wellâ€"indeed, to all the earnest branches of the Red Cross. It is a fact that those who are doing the most and the best are the most anxious for more and more workers to help along the work that is so necesâ€" sary and so urgent. The Red Cross branches doing magnificent work reaâ€" lize the great need and are all to do more. Those who know the situâ€" ation know that too much cannot be done. 7 Grateful to Those Who Have Done So Much and So Well, but the Increasing Need Overseas Requires Still Greatâ€" er Effort Here from All Able to Help. The only regret is that South Porâ€" cupine‘s call for more workers was not given prominence last week in The Adâ€" vance. It is passed on this week howâ€" ever. The Eastern Porcupine Branch at South Porcupine has been doing notâ€" able work, as will be seen by the report of the August shipment. But the need for further effort is apparent to the busy workers. _ Accordingly in sending the report to The Advance of the August shipment, the following message to work conveners from "The Canadian Red Cross Bulletin" was forwarded for publication. It is republished again herewith, with the caption, ‘"More Workers Needed by the Eastern Porâ€" cupine Red Cross." More Workers Needed by the Eastern Porcupine Red Cross "As the summer is now half over, we must all look 4o the winter which lies ahchd. A winter which will bring fresh hardiships and suffefing to both men and civilians, who fight our battle by land and sea. "Therefore we must not fail to do our partâ€"however small. "For this reason we again remind you, the women of Ontario, who have worked so splendidly in the pastâ€"w give once more as unceasingly of your time and energy. "The following is an excerpt from a leading English newspaper, which should be of interest to everyone who has helped to bring comfort to the people of that beleagued island: "Having had the good fortune to help unpack some of the superb clothâ€" ing and quilts, atc., sent here by our Canadian Dominicn and United States sisters, may I aurge that every opporâ€" tunity be taken to show them to the clohes rationed public? â€" Scraps of maâ€" terial have been used in a fashion genâ€" enally forgoitem here, and such exâ€" amples of housewifely success would be most helpful now.

Most of the cases on the were remanded and .eviâ€" dence was taken only in a ccouple of family fights, one in which a man was accused of nonâ€"support and another in which a man was accused of beatâ€" ing his wife. The charge of theft by conversion against Joseph A. Lynch was finally disposed of this week when Magistrate Atkinson sentenced the airman to eighteen months in jail. Lynch stepâ€" ped into the witness box (this week and tried to prove that he had done noâ€" thing wrong and had not taken the money but his story carried very little weight. Lynch said that he was allowâ€" ed only a certain amount of money for petiy cash each day and sometimes he had to pay out more cash than that. amount. In cases like that he would. use a cheque that had been received to make up the difference in the petty cash and the cheque would not be deâ€" posited till a few days after. Lynch had been remanded last week on the charge after the crown had presented their case and he was told to go over the books of the Hillâ€"Clarkâ€" Francis concern and see if he could exâ€" plain the shortage. He did this and admitted in court that he had found nothing that would be of much help to him. He also admitted that at the time that the money had disappeared he was in charge of the bookkeeping system and should have noticed it. The magistrate commented there was no ‘doubt that the money had disapâ€" peared and ithat there was no doubt that Lynch was in charge. He then said that he was going to register a convictionâ€" and sentenced the airman to eighteen months at hard labour in Haileybury jJail. | There were mcore than the ordinary number of drunks on this week‘s docket but they all got the usual term or fine for their offences.

Countryman, recruitâ€" ing officer at the Timimins Armouries, aninounced Monday night of this week t‘hat he had received instructions from Toronto to recruit fifteen men in the district beitween the ages of eighteen and eighiteen and a half years. These fifteen men will be sent to Toronto where they will receive a special sixâ€" month technrical course that will be beneficial to them in war or peacetime. It ‘was pointed out that the young men taking the course would not be senit overseas before they were nineteen years old. The course could be taken and when the recruits reached the age of nineteen years they could be desâ€" patched overseas to take their place in the Britis War Industry. Over 3,000 Attend the Final Night of the The Legion "V" Celebration closed with a "Bang" on Saturday evening, with over 3,000 persons in attendance. The main attraction of the evening was the final appearance of the highly talented dancer, Miss Jeannette Garâ€" rette, who so very generously donated her time and talent to the Legion‘s effort of raising money to send cigarâ€" ettes to England and its other worthy local activities, such as looking after the veterans of the last great war; takâ€" ing care of dependents of those serving in the present war, and who are awaitâ€" ing their allowances from the governâ€" ment, and in its other similar efforts. Truly a highly worthy gesture for such an outstanding artiste.

The doctor spoke of the war effort that he had seen in Nova Scotia and said that the City of Halifax had a population of 65,000 in peacetime and since the war the population has been doubled with sailors and soldiers. War industry everywhere is humming with factories working at top speed to proâ€" duce the essentials of Canada‘s war tools. While many persons think that Canada is not squarely behind the war effort, the speaker was amazed and the trip impressed him with the fact that Canada‘s war effort is colossal. The speaker had some very lovely reâ€" collections of his itrip through the Gaspe Peninsula where the mountainâ€" ous country was thickly wooded everyâ€" where. There are very few places along the Gaspe highway that dleaves the shore of the Atlantic Ocean for more than a few yards and beauty is in abundance all along the highway. Thig part of the doctor‘s trip was described as the most beautiful. It was a nice sight to see the mountains meet tYhe Large numbers of sailors and soldietrs were to be seen everywhere and all cities and towns in the Maritimes were crowded because of the large numbers of Canada‘s fighting men. Accomimoâ€" dation in most places was almost imâ€" possible. Another interesting sight was to see the fishing boats leave at night in groups for the fishing grounds. Herâ€" rings were used as bait for cod and the fish were caught in huge nets. These fleets of fishing boats would leave each night and return next day loaded down wicth fish. P Dr. MclLean visited the town of Perce during his trip and said that a large mnumber of tourists are attracted to Perce each year. It is a very tive town and it boasts a bird sancâ€" tury where millions of white birds, all species of sea fowl gather. Numerous other places were visited during Dr, McLean‘s itr ip and someâ€" thing of interesy was seen in each town and city. The magnetic hill at Moneâ€" ton was very interesting. One could start up the hill and half way up the car could be stopped and it would conâ€" tinue up the hill without the nmotor going. Truro, Nova Scotia, was anâ€" other interesting place that impressed the doctor because of the large numâ€" ber of soldiers and sailors that were stationed there. The speaker was thanked for his fine address, one of the best that the club members have heard for some time. Three visitors a‘Kkendgd Monday‘s meeting, Bill Lavery and Lorne Woods, of New Liskeard, and Mr. Rose of Harâ€" risburg, Penn., William Doran, a new member, was introduced to the club members by Kiwanian Kinkel.

Saturday evening the "Scotch Lassies" took a spot in the limelight and again the talent shown was very evident. For these six youngsters only a short rush rehearsal was held previous to their performance. Each and everyone reâ€" ceived a box: of chocolates for her splendid effort and Margaret Easton Shields was the recipient of a lovely bouquet of gladioli and roses. All games did a roaring business, and when the proceeds are all totalled there should be ample to assist the causes for which the celebration was held.
