A. Caldbick was in Cochrane on Tuesday of this week as counsel in a civil action, the regular session of the weekly police court before Magistrate Atkinson was one of the shortest for quite some time. There have been shorter sessions but never one as short as this week‘s with so many cases on the docket. A° total of sixtyâ€"three charges were listed but very few of them took any length of time during the session. All of the important cases were remanded for a week till the crown attorney returns. Quesnel, who lives at 31 Main Aveâ€" nue in Tir ains, pleaded not guilty in eccurt Tue:iuay and said that he was prepared to nroceed with the charge but the magistrate informed him that it would be remanded for a week.

Wheâ€" ther the game will be arranged for Saturday or Sunday has not yet been settled but it probably will be on. a Sunday. The affair will be brought in with all eolour of a military pageant with two bands blaring and a large gathering of fans cheering for their favorites. The Monteith team will bring their own band with them while the local comâ€" pany will have their Porcupine District Pipe band in attendance. The tcam was out last night in their final practice before meeting the Monâ€" teith teztm‘ and they looked good. The challenge that was hurled by Major S. K. McDonald, of No. 14 Comâ€" pany of the Veterans‘ Guard of Canâ€" ada, stationed at Monteith, to the local reserve company a couple of months ago has been accepted and the local men swear that they‘ll make the "Vets" eat their words. Major McDonald claims to have a strong team but the local men are all set to tear them apart. Sergeant Chuck Jemmett, coach of the Hollinger CGreenshirts last winter, is in charge of the local team and after couple of practices last week he is rapidly working out the kinks and twists in his men and expects to have a firstâ€"class team to play on Saturday.

Lake. One of the most important matâ€" ters before the Association was the resolution from the Teck Township asking for more consideration for minâ€" ing in the matter of priorities: This resoluiion aroused much discussion and was considerably changed before its final passage. ‘"The situation Teck Township is facâ€" ing with regard to priorities and their adverse effect upon the g indusâ€" try is a situation every mining muniâ€" cipality in the North must face," said Reeve Carter, of Kirkland Lake. He pointed out that the municipalities reâ€" presented at the meeting were depenâ€" dent upon the mining industry for their Hector Poitras and Francoise Gagne paid fines of ten dollars and costs on charges of disorderly conduct while William Beaven and Moise Foisley had charges remanded that were laid under the Deserted Wives and Children‘s Maintenance Act. In adjourning the charge> against Foisey the magistrate advised the fighting couple to get toâ€" gether without the help of the court. "You‘ve been married too long to be separated now,‘ commented the magâ€" istrate. "so you had better stay away from those places".The girl then asked him if she was on the "black list" now and he told her that she was.

His request was granted and the case will be heard next week. was arrested last week when the nolice entered his home and found a small quantity of wine. The house had been declared public by a court ox:de_xf earlier this year. Magistrate Atkinson listened to the girl‘s story and told her to go but to stay away from the beer parlours. ‘"There isn‘t any doubt that this letter was meant for you", said the magistrate Marguerite Sigouin, alias Marguerite Geguin, apneared to plead not guilty to a charge ofâ€"consuming beer while beâ€" ing on the interdicted list. She told the_magistrate that she never received any ‘dletter from ~the Liquor Control Board informing her that she was on the interdicted list. A letter was preâ€" sented to the court made out to the name of Marguerite Seguin but the girl claimed that it wasn‘t her name and the letter had never been received by her. Five persons paid fines of ten dollars and costs on charges of being drunk while Pearl Johnson faced a charge of being drunk for a second time in the past year. She pleaded guilty on Tuesâ€" day but asked the magistrate for a week‘s remand before passing sentence. Her reqauest was granted. For having beer in a public place Cyprien Gauthier paid a fine of ten dollars and cos:s while Paul Major paid the same fine for drinking while being a minor. on charges of drunk driving. They were arrested during the weekâ€"end and their cases will be aired next week. They were the seventeenth and eightâ€" eenth Timmins motorists to be charged with that offence this year. Anselm Filppula and John Henry Babineau, were granted adjournments The same man, Oscar Quesnel, fig~â€" ured in another case that was also reâ€" manded for a week. This time he was the complainant in a charge of assault causing actual bodily harm. The deâ€" fendant in the case, Peter Robillard was told Tuesday that his case would be heard next week and he was allowed his freedon on a summons. The laving of the charge followed quite extensive police investigation folâ€" lowing the burning of a barn, the proâ€" perty of Mrs. A. Mageau, a widow of Sandy Falls. The barn was burned on the night of May 25th about a quarter to twelve by a fire of an unknown orâ€" The family was asleep at the time and the first person to give the alarm was Mr. Germaine, an aged hired man. Power Company employees on the opâ€" posite side of the river observed the fire and were soon on the scene to form an efficient bucket brigade.

There was no insurance carried on the barn. couldn‘t proceed in the crown attor«â€" ney‘s absence. The day after the fire Mrs. Mageau informed the provincial police about the matter and they started their inâ€" vestigation. They learned that Quesâ€" nel had formerly worked for Mrs. Mageau and just a few days before the fire it is said that he had tried to borâ€" row some money from her. When she refused to lend him any money he is said to have threatened to burn her barn. Following their thorough investigaâ€" tion the police lost no time in laying the charges against the man and arâ€" resting him at his home in Timmins. Quesnel is still confined to the Timâ€" mins cells with bail being set at $1,000. cash or $2,000.00 property. In the eâ€" vent that the crown attorney is unable to be present next week an altempt will probably be made to proceed with the case. we are going to produce only war maâ€" terials we might just as well forget, lay aside the thought of a complete war effort. I am prevared to see the entire gold mining industry go overâ€" board if it will helo the war effort.‘" He stated his belief that the governâ€" ment should not be bothered by plans for special consideration at a time when problems of more pressing moâ€" ment had to be niet. Eventually the resolution was passed in the following form:â€" ‘"Whereas the unfavorable priority ratings at present in effect on essential supplies for gold mining companies, if continued, will result in further subâ€" stantial reductions in tonnage and payroll; "And whereas the mining municipalâ€" ities are an / important and integral part of the mining industry; Reeve Evans said: "We might just as well,forget the idea of an all out war effor} if we are going to seek preâ€" ferences for special industries. Unless ‘"‘And whereas such payrollâ€"reducâ€" tions have a serious effect on all minâ€" ing municivalities which are solely deâ€" pendent on the gold mining industry ; "And whereas the ponulation of minâ€" ing municipalities has already â€" been seriously effected by voluntary enlistâ€" ments for active service; "Be it therefore resolved that the Dominion Government be petitioned to give consideration to improving the position of gold mining municipalities with respect to priorities, or if the gold mining industry be deemed nonâ€"essenâ€" tial then consider the establishment of war industry in the mining municiâ€" palities." ‘ RIVERSIDE PAVILION Councillor M. Cavanagh, of Tisdale, called attention to the fact that gold mining in the United States was given no special privileges in the matter of priorities. ‘ "I am cuite aware of the fact that our livelihood depends on the gold mining industry but nevertheless, in the light of our past resolutions, and the need of the moment we are not entitled to ask for special conâ€" sideration," he stated. "And whereas we have electric power, railways, rcads, housing and other facilities for such industries. Reeve V. H. Evans, of Tisdale Townâ€" ship, made it plain that he recognized the imvortance cf gold mining, but as he nhrased it, "we are hardly entitled to place our intgrests before that of the war effort." The Association had on more than one cccasion passed strong ‘resolutions asking for an allâ€" out war effort, and in view of this fact it did not seem Proper to press the resolution in its original form. "We must give priority to those matters that will bring us a speedy victory," he said. Try The Advance Want Advertisements Another delegate commented that the crowding out of the gold mining industry would also seriously effect the farmers and, indeed, all in the North. There was a general opinion that gold was of vital concern at the presâ€" ent time. Councillor Trudell, of Teck, pointed out that if gold mining ceased it would effect 206,0f0 people in Northern Ontâ€" ario and Northern Quebec. These peoâ€" ple could not be moved elsewhere and many of them were not suited for war industries. very existence. Priorities, however, were effecting the mines in drastic way, with a consequent curiailment of production labcur, etc. ENJOY DANCING to the Finest Music and on the Best Floor in the North SATURDAY NIGHT Ladies 25¢ Gents 75¢ DANCING EVERY The following is the third nrize winâ€" ner, as> published by <the Municipal World :â€" "How My Municipality May Best Help to Win the War.‘‘ (By Alian T. Langmore, Assessor, Town of Timmins) With staggering sums of money beâ€" ing raised by the Federal Government, principally for war purposes, each municipality in the Deminion should consider itself an integral nart of a team the balance of the team being the Fedgeral and Provincial Governments. It is generally recognized that as municipal governments are more closâ€" ely associated with the people, and truly democratic bodies, this puts them in a category of their own, giving them the undisputed nbositicn of acting as the PTVOT of this great team. It goes without saying that municipâ€" alities must: Set their houses in order. Practice rigid economy. Make definite nlans for tax collecâ€" tions. Be sure their officials are competent. Hold mill rates on an even keel, with a determination to decrease them. Make absolutely sure every dollar of public funds spent will ensure the taxâ€" payer full value for his money. Educate the public on goi/ernment policy. It is appalling how little the average layman knows about the responsibiliâ€" ties of any government. The taxpayer too often takes the matter for granted, and feels that after the usual amount of election flagâ€"waving and backâ€"slapâ€" ping has been nerformed, his duties as a good citizen has finished. He little realizes or cares that the task of his elected representatives are just now beginning. As the war nrogresses, and the Domâ€" inion Government finds it necessary to encroach more and more on the munâ€" icipal and provincial fields of taxation, it becomes increasingly evident that many services will have to be curtailed or even discontinued temporarily. Of the municipalities, by a series of lecâ€" tures and radio addresses, explains to the taxpayer that as part of the comâ€" munity it is his responsibility to see that taxes are paid on time, and unless he coâ€"operates fully, he retards not only his own town‘s effort, but indirectâ€" ly the country‘s effort. Never has it been so vital that the function of government be placed beâ€" fore the public, with a view of explainâ€" ing in detail, the many complex proâ€" blems facing them, and his own munâ€" The last issue of The Municipal World publishes the prizeâ€"winning esâ€" says.
