Fighting the fire was difficult because of the scarcity of water and a bucket brigade had to be formed. The water to extinguish the blaze was taken from the wells in the neighbourhood and poured into a tank from which the fire hose stream started. The stream of water that was played on the fire wasn‘t strong enough to make any impression of the fire and the firemen had to be content with conâ€" fining their efforts to saving the neighâ€".

Secondly, he touched on the mental standard, that is, the ability to acquire and retain knowledge. "It is common knowledge" said Mr. King, "that if we are interâ€" ested in our work we are more likely to succeed, but if opportunities dp not present themselves in our particular likes we are more or less forced to do a job which may not carry our whole- hearted interest. The speaker pointed out how it was possible to find out for what vocations we were best suited.

General â€" Douglas MacArthur has launched a heavy atâ€" tack against these forces and toâ€"day it is reported that another strong blow has been made against the Japanese invading forces. In the meantime the Japs have been making steady advances near the Thaiâ€" land border in their fight with the Chiâ€" nese. Yesterday they were reported to have thrown heavy armoured detachâ€" ments into the fight and toâ€"day the Chinese report that the Japs have capâ€" tured the town of Tynnana on the Sitâ€" tang front. The town is about a hunâ€" dred and fifty miles from Mandalay. The Australian destroyer Vampire, was reported lost by Australian authorâ€" ities yesterday in the Bay of Bengal as a result of enemy action. The destroyâ€" er was a 1,090â€"ton fotalla leader and the entire complement of 134 men were reported to be saved.

Every ableâ€"bodied man in the district should be quite willing to spend two hours on each of two nights a week in learning the funâ€" damentals of the Army service riflle, the Leeâ€"Enfield, and the Light Maching Gun. These are things that will prove of great value to every man at some time and if the time comes that this country is attacked the men who will be thrown into the battle will have the appearance of an army and not a mob. Mr. Neame pointed out that it was that complacent feeling that was the direct responsibility for the failure of many other countries to stand up unâ€" der the Nazi aggression. They all took the attitude that it couldn‘t happen to them but when the attack came they were unprepared. Canada must not be caught the same way. At the present time the training in the reserve company in Timmins is getting to be very interesting. The men are now training outdoors for one period each night and just last week a rifie range was built at the local Arâ€" mouries to add further interest to the training syllabus. The men in the local company are asked to turn out two nights each week, Mondays and Thursâ€" company are asked to turn out two nights each week, Mondays and Thursâ€" days, and they drill each night for apâ€" proximately two hours. The qualifications for enlistment in the reserve forces are very easily met. Any person who is a British subject and is in medical categories lower than "B" and between the ages of 19 and 35: any nerson between the ages of 19 and 35 who is granted or entitled to postâ€" ponement of compulsory military trainâ€" nig under the National Mobilization Act: all men from 35 to 50; all married men from 30 to 35. It is the hope of the committee that several hundred men in the district will be signed and when the local company 18 up to strength and enough more men are available to train an appeal will be made to the government to organlze a third battalion of the giment.
