Published in Timmins, Ont., Canada EVERY THURSDAY Found Cat Badly Wounded and Couldn‘t Get Anybody to Kill it For Her. Is Advised to Get Appointment as Huâ€" mane Society Representative. The regular meeting of the Timmins council held yesterday afternoon was a short and snappy affair with a large amount of business rushed through in a breezy manner. There weren‘t any long arguments on any of the items on the agenda. Mayor Prunette was in the chair and |Councillors Eyre, Mcâ€" Dermott, Roberts, Bartleman, Spooner and Terry were all present. Mrs. M. N. Madden, wrote to the council asking if they could do anyâ€" thing toward protecting the stray and homeless cats in Timmins. The letter said that «ie had appealed to the police but could get no satisfaction from them. As an example, Mrs. Madâ€" den poin‘ed cut that she had seen a cat lying on the street wounded and she had picked it up and brought it to the police station to have the police shoot it. They refused to do this so she then took the cat to the dog pound where the poundâ€"keeper refused to kill the animal." The poundâ€"kseper claimed that he was only paid to kill dogs and would have nothing to do with cats. Woman Complains About Misâ€"Treatment of Cats The final result of the case was that the council will tell the chief of police and the poundâ€"keeper that any time Mrs. Madden comes to them in the future with any injured cats, they will be authorized to destroy them. The clerk was further instructed to write ito Mrs. Madden and have her write to the head of the Humane Society and be appointed as their representative in Timmins.

They forwanded a booklet showing what would be taught but on the recommendation of the fire chief he will not be present. The fire chief told the council that it was pracâ€" tically the same thing as the school that was held in Timmins this summer and he thought that if he attenmded it would just be money wasited. C. W. Caverly, of iCarlin Avenue, wrote to the council asking if they would install street lights on that street. ‘There were no lights on the street now and it was very mcomem- ent at night. The Timmins bramnch of the Canaâ€" dian Legion wrote to the council askâ€" ing if the council would refund the taxes that they had paid on their hall and also grant them permission to hold Poppy Day on November 8th instead of on November 10th.

O. railway, commenting on the resolution that the town forwarded to them in regard to the subway in Timmins. He pointed out that the subway had been built at the expense of the railway accordâ€" ing to.an agreement drawn up between the council and the railway. He saw no reasen why it should tbe rebuilt now or why it would interfere with the installation of traffic lights at the cornâ€" er of Spruce street and Fourth avenue. The clerk was instructed to answer him, telling him about the difference in the size of the town now and in 1026 when the subway was built, A letter from the Maryland Porcuâ€" for pine Gold Mines asked for the town‘s suppont in building bridge over the Grassy River for the convenience of persons living at Wawaitin Falls The council will answer them saying that the next time a member of the council goses to Torcnto one of thetr representaâ€" tives will be asited to agcompany him uvyts wiil DC G dfAUQIIipdiiy @lilli, ine DrCSramme, wWhion wWlil 12@ and they will interview the departâ€"| "Gracie" in selections that are ; ment of highways together. ticularly her own, will commence Three applications for positions on | 8.15 pm., and tickets for the event the staff of the Municipal Buuding{ be on sale after November lith.

Pe y form e r Remembrance Day Banquet to be Held Tuesday, Nov. 11th The German Air Force is reported to have carried out another large scale attack on the big Russian industrial centre at Gorki, 230 miles east of Mosâ€" cow, while another large bomber forâ€" mation attacked Leningrad and Mosâ€" cow. The Russians are silent about these raids. The German reports say that Gerâ€" man and Roumanian troops have deâ€" feaited the itrapped Rusiaas in the Yaila mountains of Crimea while adâ€" vancing between Yaila and Feodosiya on a broad front to the Black Sea coast. They also claim that pursuit of the beaten enemy on the Crimea front is continuing successfully. The Red army was reportea to be ferxding off a Nazi offensive against Moexow by smashing back a new Gerâ€" man ski troop attack against Leningrad and vicious counter attacks against the Huns in the vital Donets valley front. Reports from Russia today inâ€" dicated a more optimistic trend on all major fronts except the Orimea, alâ€" though there was some indication that the German attacks in that section were losing their fury. Aiuthoritative sources said that the Nazi advance guard in the Crimea has reached the outer defences of Sevasâ€" topol but that they are still about twernâ€" ty miles from the Russian naval base. Heavy fighting was reported at all key points along the Moscow front and the Nazis were reported to have been thrown back at several poinits.
