Touch of Romance Follows Broadcast Young Ladies Attracted by Timmins Soldier Overseas The Timmins branch of the Canaâ€"| dian Legion has been the means of| bringing happiess to many person| since its inception some _ fourteen years ago. But it has taken another war to bring in the romantic touch. It came about in this way. Two months ago the Timmins branch sponsored a broadcast by relatives of lads overseas and among the lucky ones to speak to his son was Mr. Keefe. His son, Tom, heard the broadcast and of course was mighty pleased. But there were others who also heard the father speak to: his son. This week the Timmins branch of the Legion received two letâ€" ters, one from a young lady in Lonâ€" don, ffngland, and the other from a young lady in Scotland. Both of them wish to secure the son‘s address and would like to correspond with him. They ask if he is single, etc. One says she‘s blonde and the other is a bruâ€" nette. So Tommy has a very choice selection. Each of the young ladies want to exchange photographs with him. When the said Thomas Keefe returns, if a blonde or brunette accomâ€" panies him the Timmins branch can chalk up another merit mark. The Legion is noping shortly to have another of these broadcasts, notice of which will be given in lots of time for those wishing to send a message to the lads in England.

Anâ€" other Drunk Driver Also Sent Away for Ten Days. Edmond Joubert, 139 Third avenue, Cochrane, Ontario, will spend the next few days in jail as a result of Magisâ€" trate Atkinson‘s decision in police court this week. Joubert, who is the deputyâ€" chief fire ranger in Cochrane, was COnâ€" victed on a charge of being drunk in charge of a car and the sentence was passed with the time to start counting from the day of his anrest. This means that Joubert now has only a few days to serve. Arthur Shaw, Timmins clerkâ€"treasâ€" urer, said that he was travelling east on Fourth avenue at the time of the acciâ€" dent and had seen the car crash into the subway. He firs; noticed the car when it turned onto Fourth avenue from Spruce street. It swerved to the left side of the road first and then turned back towards the centre just before it crashed into the pillar. He said that, in his opinion, Joubert was intoxicated. Constable Beaulne also testified that the man was drunk. Joubert took the stand in his own defence and said that he had been drinking earlier in the day but he had only drank one bottle of beer. When he crashed into the pillar he had been badly hurt when the steering wheel | was slapped against his chest. Whenl the police arrived at the scene the man | saitd that he was unconscious and didn‘t remember seeing them there. He then called another witness to the ! :#tand to prove that he had only conâ€" sumed one bottle of beer in the oevenâ€" ing. The magistrate, however, didn‘t place much confidence in the accused‘s testiâ€" mony as he sentenced him to ten days in jail and prohibited the man from driving a car for six months. Olavi Junnila, the deaf and dumb Finnish boy., who faced charges of breaking, entering and theft, was givâ€" en his freedocm on Tuesday when he refused to talk. The magistrate asked the police to withdraw the charges and see if the family would make restituâ€" tion. He also recommended that the young lad be sent to a school where he could be properly treated and educated. anadian Adventurer Wins Award at Boston Arthur Jenkins, pleaded guilty to a charge of drunk driving and was sentâ€" enced to ten days in Jail. The magisâ€" Second Section trate asked for some particulars albout | the case before passing sentence and when he learned that the man had been drunk and in charge of the car he passed the sentence. The man‘s car will be impounded for three months and his driver‘s license will be taken away from him for six months. Joseph A. Carbonneau, also facinz a charge of being drunk in charge of a | car was given a week‘s remand when it | was learned that one of the important | witnesses had not yet been served with | his summons to appear in court. His | case will be proceeded with next week. A number of other important charges were remanded for a week for a numâ€" | ber of various reasons.

Dear Sir:â€"Yesterday I was cleaning the steam table while the men were at breakfast, because, on a Sunday the R.C.‘s hold their service in the dinâ€" ing room and I have to close the door and pull down the shutter. While I was doing the job a man came to me and said:â€"*"Do you know who is the priest this morning?" I said: ‘"No." "Well," he said, "It‘s Father O‘Gorâ€" man." I went to him and I said: "Father, there are only three of us from Timâ€" mins here, and we are always mighty pleased to see someone from home. Then he asked where I lived and alâ€" though he knew my neighbourhood he didn‘t know me. However, I mentionâ€" ed a certain incident, and he said: "Yes, I read about it in The Advance." "Well," I said, "If you read The Adâ€" vance, perhaps you have read some of my bits of poetry." "Oh," he said, "are you that man? I know yvou now.‘" Then we had a pleasant conversaâ€" tion and then I had to get back to my jcbh and he had to get on with his s>rvice but it is another pleasant memâ€" ory to be sitored away. We don‘t often see anvone from home. In fact that is only the second time in fifteen months but it is always good to see them just the same. When we do see them we don‘t stand on ceremony. We forget all rules and regulations for five minâ€" utes, but I think under the circumâ€" stances that is excusable. I remain Yours most sincerely A. J. Doling. funds for their work.

Stromberg told of accompanying Constable Thompson of the Gold Squad, to the Hollinger Mine where they asked for Aldo.

Porcupine Badminton Club Annual Meeting on Oct. 21st Attention! Boys Twelve to Seventeen Years! Hon. Gordon Conant did some plain speaking while in Timmins inspecting the Ontario Voluntary Constabulary here on Sunday, Oct. 12th. His address should be read and studied by all good citizens and its implications carefully noted. The address in full is as folâ€" IOwWs : â€" "At the ocutbreak of the war we were all very much concerned with the dangâ€" er of fifth column and saboteur activiâ€" ties.

Defence Counsel Dean Kester startâ€" ed a withering crossâ€"examination of the constable and at one point in the crossâ€"examination he accused the conâ€" stable of hedging and withâ€"holding some of the facts. The constable reâ€" plied that he wasn‘t hedging and that he had nothing to hide. Constalble Stromberg said that during the trip to the police station the accused had asked him if he could get a suspended sentence on the charge or how much would it cost him. The constable alsp added that Aldo had explained that the stuff that had been found came from a mhning claim somewhere near Matachewan. _ Constable Thompson then took the stand and added a little more informâ€" ation to the case. He said that during a search of the car that Aldo was driving he located four sample bags with lowâ€"grade rock in them. He also located a ring of keys. He also proâ€" duced a statement that Aldo had made but had not signed. Sergeant Melville of the Hollinger police took the stand and said that he and Corporal Culhane had searched Aldo‘s working clothes at the mine in the "dry" and he had found a secret pocket in the shirt. In the pocket he found a piece of french chalk. Under the french chalk he found three small pieces of goldâ€"bearing ore. In thg pants pocket he also found a few pieces (Continued on Page Four) temporary â€" headquarters on Street North. W a they took the position that the ine province was restponsible for civil security, We accepted that responâ€" sibility. As a consequence we enlarged our regular Provincial Police Force. We organized and still have acting a considerable number of Veterans‘ Guards to protect essential undertakâ€" ings, particularly Hydroâ€"Electric plants. We extended assistance and coâ€"operaâ€" tion to local authorities desirous of organizing their own forces out of which developed the Volunteer Civil Guards of which there are now 120 units in Ontario comprising about 16,â€" 000 men. More recently we organized the Ontario Volunteer Constabulary as a force to supplement and act as auxiliâ€" aries to our regular Ontario Provincial Police. Whether as a result of these activities or not it is impossible to say, but we do know that fortunately wo have suffered very little from sabotage or fifth column activities in Ontario so far. I am very strongly inclined to the view that any of these public enemies who might otherwise have unâ€" dertaken sabotage operations have been dissuaded therefrom by the existence of the various forces I have indicated. "When, however, ‘we undertook to } ‘"Notwithstanding the fact that in this view the province is in no way responsibile for air raid precautions we did undertake to assisit in the orâ€" ganization of civilian defence or air raid precaution forces in September 1940 at the instigation of the Dominâ€" ion authorities, When we did so we fully understood that we would be actâ€" ing as intermediaries through which the air raid precaution plans of the Dominion authorfties would be made effective. Specifically we understood, and our understanding has since been amply confirmed, that the Dominion Government would provide all the necessary equipment and at least some substantial assistance in the training of yvolunteer workers. I must say that the results have been far from satisâ€" factory. And I must also say to the people of Ontario that in the event of air raids now or in the near future, the results will be disastrous. We have not succeeded, generally speaking, in building up really effective air raid precaution organizations in the proâ€" vince to meet conditions such as exist in England as a consequence of bombâ€" ing raids. And we have not succeeded because of the failure of the Dominion authorities to provide the necessary equipment and to offer any assisitance whatever in the matter of training air raid _ precaution workers. Certain equipment is absolutely essential not only for training workers but to deal with enemy attacks. The failure of the Dominion Government to supply this equipment has made thorough training impossible, has discouraged the volunteer workers and has prevented the setting up of anything like effecâ€" tive works, organizations and personâ€" nel to meet actual enemy air attacks. "In saying this I neither condemn nor condone. But it is quite evident that the Dominion Government does not regard air raid precautions as) imâ€" portant. The Honourable Mr. Mackenâ€" zie, under whose Department air raid precautions for Canada function, is reâ€" ported to have stated recently that they have only spent about five hundred thousands dollars in the whole of Canâ€" ada on air raid precautions to date, That in itself is an indication that they are only playing with it. It is said that by March of next year we will have expended four billion dellars on "ir combatant forees auring this war.
