Its selections were wellâ€" chosen, providing a variety of num/jers that formed a programme in themâ€" selves:. Included in their repertoire was "Freedom‘s Flag," as well as several other patriotic numbers; that kept the audience aware of the ract that Miss Fields was appearing for the benefit of the Navy League of Canada. Mr. William K. Wylie acted as masâ€" ter of ceremonies, and introduced the Porcupine Male Choir, as directed by Ron Jones, to sing "Comrades in Arms"" and "The Song cof the Jolly Rogers," and another musical number was a beautiful violin solo "Adoration" by Borowski, played by Mr. O. E. Walli, who was accompanied by Mr. E. Wallace Young both of the Timmins High and Vocational School staff. The work of Mr. Wylie as master of cereâ€" monies won very favourable comment from many as it was most effective, though . uncbtrusive and contributed much to the smooth progress of the event. Little Rose Rubic, in her national costume, presented a Russian Cossack dance and dainty little Misses Margaret Thomas, Kathleen Burt, and Sylvia Thomas, pupils of Mrs. A. Burt, proved that their feet were as quick in dance routines as their curls were pretty. Both these numbers won much apâ€" plause. But there were other artists in the audiences, who joined in the singâ€"song which Gracie Fields led. Their voices rang out lusitily as they sang the songs that are dear to the British Empire, and the songs that show that as long as there are people to sing them, there is a will to win this war. Gracie Fields Works and Rests During Visit to Porcupine Camp Curled vp on a comfortable divan reading a magazine about beautiful homes was the darling of the Empire Miss Gracie Fields, on Sunday at high noon. As her visitor, the reporter from The Advance, was ushered in, a blonde head appeared from behind the magaâ€" zine, and with a typical "our Gracie" gesture, she beckoned her guest to be seated. Interviewed by The Advance on Sunday While Resting at the R. J. Ennis Bungalow. Miss Fields Says She Enjoyed Taste of Canadian Winter While in This District. | Miss Fields told something of the ‘year that had passed since she had last been in the Porcupine camp.

She had given three to .four haifâ€"hour performances each day during the lunch hours and dinner hours of the workers and the men on Throughout the interview, Miss FPields .punctuated her speech with the facial expressions and movements which have become dear to all fans of the "lass from Lancashire."‘ Despite the fact that she was performing each evening, and travelling each day, "Gracie" showâ€" ed no signs of fatigue. From tip to toe she seemed to be wide awake and eager to goâ€"to go on to more and more performances for the land she so dearly loves. active service During the interview, the houseâ€" keeper came to enquire if Miss Fields would please the soldiers at a nearby camp, by having the train stop at that station so that they might see her, ith a typical gracious smile that seemâ€" ed to say she was always pleased to greet the men and women of the Britâ€" ish Empire "Gracie" answered "of As the telephone rang, Miss Fields | WOOGS 1 hurried of to answer it, explaining| The « that she was expecting a longâ€"distance | CUPINe call from her husband, who is winter.| Sunday ing in California.

Slippery streets were blamed for two minor accidents that happened on the streets of Timmins on Saturday of last week. Both accident: happened in the afternoon and damage totalling about forty dollars resulted. Police investi â€" gated both affairs and laid no blame on either of the drivers. YÂ¥vonne Lepage, 12 Balsam street north, crashed into a car that was pullâ€" ing out from the curb in front of the Timmins| Garage about three o‘clock in the afternoon.

The people of England want het ito go ‘"back home" in April, and alâ€" Ithough she feels a continuous longing for home, said Miss Fields, her tours 'were sending dollars back, and thap; is what the Empire needs most of all right now. Asked if she preferred singing to men in uniform rather than civilians, Gracie replied "No, I don‘tâ€"I like singâ€" ing to everyone, civilian or soldier, and ‘besides, we all think and feel the same, I‘we have the same hurts in life, and |the same desires." At present, the Igreatedt desire of all was to win this war, and the people in England were going "all out" to make this possible. Gracie described the manner in which they were working together to bring albout victory and peace, and as she spoke genuine admiration of her people showed through every syllable and | phrase. lthey wWill gelt â€" UA As a rule, she ap as an African to audiences were no! hour performances she works hard to of her songs thro to the large audi¢ like the McIntyre With a chee€ry Fields bade farews ned a mink coat her suit of forest and went for a omm ~ While in the United States, Miss Fieldg had appeared on only one radio programme that was not for British benefit.

Her new accompanâ€" ist, Ray McAfee, was an American lad, and her secretary is a Toronto girl, Misis Jean VanZant. She no longer has a personal maid, as the one who had travelled with her previously had been called by the English government durâ€" ing their stay in the homeland. All women up to the age of thirty in Engâ€" land have been asked to srve their country, and all are ready to do treir bit to help win this war. Describing her performances, the lass from Lancashire said that she wants to give her all to her audiences so that ithey will get "their money‘s worth." As a rule, she appears for one hour, as an African tour taught her that audiences were not satisfied with halfâ€" hour performances. During that hour, she works hard to convey the meaning of her songs through the microphone to the large audiences in auditoriums like the MciIntvre Arena. ' | ! Robert L.

Vanek immediately called for assistâ€" ance from several other workers and they were successful in releasing Mcâ€" Donald and rushing him to the surâ€" face. Vanek said that they had been working in the stope for about three months and had often heard air blasts but the witness couldn‘t remember hearing any as loud before. He also added that when they had sounded the walls for loose the walls appeared to be solid. Others who gave evidence were Dr. M. J. Kelly, who ;reated the injured man, P. G.

Single Copyâ€"Five Centsg Russians Have Fought in Magnificent Way ‘The Russian armies have, for the past six months, been fighting what has been described as "the bloodiest battle in history.‘ They have stood up to Hitler‘s barbarian hordes in a magâ€" nificent allâ€"out effort that has won the admiration of the entire world. They have inflicted large losses on the Nazi armies, but the Russian losses have also been great. They have been fightâ€" ing day and night, without relief. along a 2,000â€"mile front. They have had to evacuate cities, towns and villages on a scale and_under conditions unparalleled dn history. As in Britain, this is not battle involving the military forces alone but one which ‘involves women and children as well. Help For Russia Essential to Victory The Red Cross points out that to achieve victory for the Allied Cause, it is essential to help keep the Russian armies fighting and strong. ‘The govâ€" ernments of the United States, of Great Britain, and Oof the British Dominions are pledged to send "streams of war materials" to Russia, Shipments are now en route. The peoples of these countries have also been urged to provide personal, huâ€" manitarian aid to the Russian people. i Medical supplies are naturally first on \the list. Through the Red Cross such t supplies are being sent to Russia from all parts of the Empire. The British Red Cross is conducting a campaign for a million pounds ($5,000,000), deâ€" spite the many burdens with which that country is laden.
