oooooo» (-ooo’oo'ooo _ Ehe Dorcupine AMopbante "Old Soldiers Never Die!" proved more than mere words on Saturday evening last, when a party of Legion members and members of the Ladies Auxiliary, journeyed to Connaught to give a concert in aid of the Connaught Solofers‘ Comfort Fund. The Orange hall was the sceene of all activities and was crowded to the doors for the variâ€" nall was th was crowde ety show. Members of the Legion gave use of their cars and to transport the thirty 0o the trin. All arrived safel the fun commenced. Each one surprised the doormar the admission fee advertise Connaucht Delighted with Programme Presented by Timmins Branch of Legion The concert was cpened in the usual Legion manner with "O Canada," and "One Minute‘s Silence." Les. Nicholson opened with having everybody sing, "Roll Out the Barrell.‘ All were now in a happy mood anc Al. Martel, popular entertainer, renâ€" dered "Whiteo Cliffs of Dover" (Al. now is getting used to his new leg, and many were surprised to learn of him being a casualty of the present struggle). Mr. Austin Neame, president of Timâ€" mins branch of the Legion, said it was a pleasure to be present for such a good «cause. "These getâ€"togethers are the means of helping one another and makâ€" ing new friends," he said . The war news was dark these days, and it was happy times like these that helped to build up the morale of the people. The speaker also stressed the point of Conâ€" naught forming a branch of the Le_ gion. He wished the citizens all sucâ€" cess in their Comfort Fund and voiced the thoughts of all when he stated, that "‘The Timmins branch is ready to asâ€" sist you at all times." Mrs. W. A. Devine, president of the Ladies® Auxiliary gave a most informaâ€" tive address to the Connaugh commitâ€" tee. In opening Mrs. Devine stated it was a privilege to be present at this opening event, and also endorsed Mr. Neame‘s words of assistance. The speakâ€" er told of how the Timmins ladies raise money to send the Comfort parcels, and at the same timg knit for the Red Cross, enumerating the dozens of arti_ cles completed in this manner. Touchâ€" ing on the parcels she told the audâ€" ience that each parcel contained: 1 tube shaving cream, 1 tooth paste, 1 pkg. razor blades, 2 chocolate bars, 2 pkgs. peanuts, and (since tea and sugat have been rationed) lighter flints. The average cost of the iparcels was $100 Fred Curtis, followed, dressed ir frock ccaat, monacle and top hat, an( made friends immediately with the large crowd of boys and girls sitting it front of the stage. All were in roari of laughter at his rendmon of "Johr Williec, Came ; On." Walter Avery, in lighter vein stil kept the comic side of the audience and his selections were much appreâ€" cilated. ~â€"Bob Whiteman also kept to the huâ€" morous stream with ‘"Paddy Mc(xmtys Goat‘" jJoe Ormston, made a great hit with his stage manner and swingy style. He sang the old jazz favourite, "Baby Face." Joe was in top form, but no encores were the order. Ron and Ted Jones were the two out_ standing vocalists on the programme. Both voices blended perfectly in duet selections, and during the evening they sang "Moonlight and Roses," "Till We Meet Again," and "Larbourd Watch." Ted Jones also rendered two beautiful vocal selections, accompanied by Ron Jones.

There were reports that the Nazi bombing raids and the preparations for defence had so chanâ€" ged the anvearance of the country that Britain could searcely be recognized by those who knew it as a land of homes and beauty. On the other hand there are the stories coming from those who have visited Britain in recent times that the heart of the countryv has not chanâ€" ged. Major Godden said that many of the noted buildings of the Old Landa had fallen victim to the Huns that. along the coasts there were wire entanglements gun : emplacements and other ugly things. that parks had been given over to military purposes and some beauty ticns.

Canada To Reduce Volume of Newspapers Going Overseas Masters of The Silver Blades Will Display Talents in Diffiâ€" cult and Thrilling Routines of First Summer Skating Event. There havo been several references recently in The Advance in regard to the mailing by the public of whole newspapers to addresses overseas. The Post Office department says that it is necessary to conserve shipping space for vital war needs, and accordingly it was P. 0. Dept. Suggests Send: ing of Clippings Instead of Whole Newspapers. suggested that clinpings be sent instead of whole newspapers. The Advance has pointed out that the soldiers overseas desire news of the old home town and that clipvings will make a very inadeâ€" quate substitute in place of the comâ€" munity newspaper. In reference to the dailies, of course, the duplications from day to day, and the fact that all the world and national news constituting the chief part of the daily paper will be known overseas long before a Canaâ€" dian daily can reach there. The comâ€" munity newspaper, however, is in a different position. It is like a letter 1trom home. The Toronto Telegram, for exâ€" ample, recognized this fact, not only in this war, but in the last one, and feaâ€" tured years ago, as it does toâ€"day, a speâ€" cial page once a week with news picked for the men overseas. While in previous issues the matter of restriction on the sending of newspaâ€" pers was only suggestive, the matter is now official as will be seen by the folâ€" lowing letter from the postmaster at ‘Timmins:â€"â€" Timmins, Aug. 10th, 1942 Order No. 241 Re Newspapers and Periodicals:â€"To conserve shipping space for vital war needs, the Post Office Dept. advises that it is necessary to reduce the volume of newspapers and periodicals sent to civâ€" ilians and the armed forecs in the Unâ€" ited Kingdom and other transatlantic destinations, as well as to places in Cenâ€" tral and South America, Bermuda and the West Indies. Instead of mailing the complete newsâ€" paper or magazine, the public are reâ€" quested. to send only clippings of speâ€" cial interest to the addressee, which clippings may be enclosed in letters. Complete newspapers and periodicals cannot be mailed to these destinations. Kiwanis Victory Carnival Was a Decided Success The Porcupine Advance ‘Timmins, Ont.
