Of the several "Red Cross" windows in local stores, the one at the Mark Bowie store deserves special mention. It shows the "Prisonersâ€"ofâ€"War" parâ€" cels sent out by the thousands each week by the Canadian Red Cross. Two of these parcels packed, sealed, and addressed, are shown ready for shipâ€" ment, while the contents of a third parcel are displayed to show what each of these parcels contains. At the present time the Canadian Red Cross is nacking and sending and paying for 15,006 of these food parcels a week. In addition, the Red Cross is packing and dispatching 5,000 parcels a woek, paid for by the Australian Red Cross, and 2,5G0 parcels a week paid for by the New Zealand Red Cross, and 11,500 paid for by the British Red Cross. This totals 40,000 food parcels per week packed in Canada. Austraâ€" lia, New Zealand and Canada, it will be seen are relieving the British Red Cross of the responsibility of packing anu paying for 22,500 weekly parcels, and Canada hopes to send as many as 40,â€" 000 parcels each week if food supplies and shipping are available. The British Red Cross is still supâ€" plying food to more than 50 per cent. of the total number of British prisonâ€" ersâ€"ofâ€"war, and sends the clothing, medical comforts and drugs needed by British prisoners (including Canaâ€" dians). The clothing, drugs and medâ€" ical supplies are generally sent in bulk consignments to the camps to be given out as required. Uniforms are sent to British prisonersâ€"o[â€"war by the British government through the British Red Cross. * One of the Important Branches of Red Cross Work. Canaâ€" dian Red Cross Packing and Despatching 46,000 Prisonâ€" ersâ€"ofâ€"War Parcels per Week, Including 5,000 Paid for by Australia, 2,500 by New Zealand and 17,500 by Briâ€" tish Red Cross. Here is a list of the contents of the Red Cross prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war food parâ€" cels. The total weight of the parcel is eleven pounds, there being ten pounds of food material. All the contents (exâ€" cept, of course the soap) are selected for their food value in proper proporâ€" tions, by Dr. Fred Tisdall, a wellâ€"known authority on nutrition. 16 ounces whole milk powder 16 ounces butter 4 ounces cheese. 2 ounces corned beef 10 ounces pork luncheon meat 8 ounces salmon 4 ounces sardines (or kippers) 8 ounces raisins 8 ounces dried prunes 8 ounces sugar 16 ounces jam 16 ounces Pilot biscuits 8 ounces eating chocolate 1 ounce salt and pepper 4 ounces tea 2 ounces soap Those in Timmins: who have noted the Red Cross prisoners â€"ofâ€"war parâ€" cels and their contents will be interâ€" ested in a booklet compiled by Mrs Adelaide M. Plumptre. This booklet answers all the questions likely to arise in regard to these parcels. The booklet explains how such matters are controlled by the series of Geneva or Red Cross conventions and internaâ€" tional laws. Samples of Red Cross Prisonerâ€"ofâ€" W ar Parcels British prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war, the booklet notes, includes all people from the Doâ€" minions, India and the colonies of the Empire. Thus, the British Red Cross has the responsibility of supplying food, clothing, medical comforts and drugs to prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war, which inâ€" cludes Canadians who are prisonersâ€"ofâ€" war. The British Red Cross has asked the Canadian Red Cross to share this great responsibility, and, as usual, with all other enterprises, the Canadian Red Cross is doing an excellent piece ol work of its assignment. That prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war are actually receiving the parcels is proven by the fact that the Red Cross Enquiry Buâ€" reau, 18 Rideau street, Ottawa, has on fyle over 100,000 postcards signed by "British" prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war in Germany. Belgium, Italy and France acknowâ€" ledging the receipt of the parcels sen! from Canada. The inspectors of the International Red Cross Committee who are allowed to visit the camps and talk to the prisoners and report on conâ€" ditions, are satisfied the parcels are being delivered. ‘There is an interesting note in the booklet as to how the parcels get t Geneva from Canada. The parcels are packed ; in Torouto and Montrealâ€"1( parcels in a big plywood box. These boxes are sent by sea to Britain, anc thence tq the care of the International Red Cross Committee at Géneva, they are taken into the great wareâ€" houses of the International Red Cros: Committee to be delivered to the priâ€" soners. The Germans do not handle them at any time. These food parcels are not personally addressed. They are unform in size and contents and it is only necessary to see that there are enough parcels sent to each camp for each British prisonerâ€"ofâ€"war to get one. The parcels are distributed withâ€" out regard to distinction of rank 0o: ‘The Red Cross estim $2.50 to lay down eac neva. This low cost cause of the fact that of the Red Cross work teer labour. "oooooooooooooooooo’oo Bulk shipments of tobacco and cigâ€" arettes are made to the camps by the British Red Cross, and because of this and some other reasons, cigarettes are not included in the Red Cross parcels. Each prisoner, the booklet explains is also allowed to receive a parcel once a quarter from his nextâ€"ofâ€"kin; these parcels must be addressed personally to the prisoner with his unit or ship number, rank.,, name of prison, and prison number, Tlese parce‘s may P A A Aâ€"AL LA Aâ€" LAAA Exhibition Here Now * P P P P P L â€"AC L L LAAA c | Che Qorcupine AMtpute ""O"O"o""’.‘ * 4 4 4 4 4 % 4 % \ \ + 4 \ 4 * % + 4 »A 4 The Pioneer Paper E of the Porcupine. |} Established 1912 | 1t sttâ€"P PP ALACAL L ALAP 4 in ship | Bowie C andlers of w may Red Cro contain underwear,, shoes, toilet artiâ€" !cles, but no food, except some chocoâ€" late bars. These parcels are censored first, ,and then turned over to the Red ‘Cross. If enough prohibited articles have been removed to reduce the weight very materially, the Red Cross supplements the articles in the parcels by others from its own stores. Only a little thought is necessary to show how vital are these Red Cross prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war food parcels. They mean very often the difference between life and death. At present, they form a very material part of the cost of carâ€" rying on the Red Cross work. Without any question such an enterprise deâ€" serves the most generous support of all. Of the $9,000,000 asked in Canada in the present campaign for the Canaâ€" dian Red Cross, it is estimated that about $3,500,000 will go to the prisonersâ€" ofâ€"war work. Accordingly, everybody should "dig down" in this campaign to put the $9,000,000 campaign well over the top. The objective for Timmins is $45,000 and every effort should be made to exceed this amount. The designing and arranging of the Red Cross parcels for prisonersâ€"ofâ€"war in the Bowie Store window were the able work of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion Branch 88. Film Showing Red Cross Activities at Local Theatres The moving pceiure, ‘"There Too Go I," graphically depiciing Canadian Red Cross activities in Canada and ovâ€" erseas, is being shown across Canada as a feature of the present Red Cross campaign.

Sydney became a point of call on the route from Moncton to Newfoundland, thus bringing this industrial area at the tip of Canada‘s Eastern shores within the National airline network. With a daily round trip between Moncton and St. John‘s, Newfoundland, T.C.A. has telescoped a journey of days into less than five hours. The commencement of the new service was hailed by men of the armed forces of both Canada and the U.S.A. as well as by Government and construction officers. They help to swell the mail load with thousands of letters to the folks back home. The new service will also play an important part in the new Atlantic mail service just inaugurated. At the other end of the North American Continent T.C.A. will commence a service to Alaska this Fall, when the airway being constructed for military and commercial aviation is completed, T.C.A. will then provide a direct main line service from the United States and Canada to Alaska. This, like the Newfoundland service, will also be a part of the general hemispheric defense plan.

Constable Angus Grieves said that he had been. called .to McQuillon‘s home on the night of May 5th and that he found the accused seated beâ€" hind the wheel of his truck trying to start it. The constable attempted to take the keys away from McQuillon and experienced considerable difficulty in doing this. The police also had difâ€" ficulty in putting McQuillon into the police cruiser. The constable said that an attempt was then made to start the truck and bring it to the police station but they were unsuccessâ€" ful in starting the machine.

Leonard McQuillon was the only. witâ€" ness called by the defence. He was a brother of the accused and he said that he had driven the truck to the house about an hour before the arrest. When he arrived at the home he found everyone drunk and he decided that he would fix the truck so that it could not be driven away. He thought that his brother would ask for the keys and he couldn‘t very well refuse him as he owned ‘the truck. He had taken a piece from the distributor and the car couldn‘t start without that piece. He had then gone to town and wasn‘t at home when his brother was arrestâ€" Charles Preston faced a charge of dangerous driving and he was fined fifty dollars and costs besides having his driver‘s permit cancelled for three months. The police said that they had been unable to decide whether to lay a charge of drunk driving or dangerâ€" ous driving against Preston but came to the conclusion that the man wasn‘t drunk although he had been drinking. Preston pleaded guilty to the charge and the police testified that they had followed his car with the cruiser and had seen him driving from one side At the conclusion of the man‘s eviâ€" dence the magistrate decided that the man couldn‘t very well be charged with drunk driving if he had been unâ€" able to start the car so he dismissed the charge and told McQuillon that it was only through the presence of mind of his brother that he was being given his freedom. had seen him driving from one side of the street to the othr.
