Head of Salvation Army in Canada to Visit Here Ttmmms to Join in the Observance of Sunday, Sept. 6th as Day of Prayer Letter from Director of Public Information Suggests that Timmins Should Join in Observance of Anniversary of Canada‘s Entry Into the War. Plumbing Byâ€"law Finâ€" ally Approved by Dept.: Other Council Notes. At the regular meeting of the Tim mins town council yesterday a letter was read from G. H. Lash, Director of Public Information, Ottawa, suggesting that Sunday, Sept, 6th, be set aside in Timmins, as ~throughout the whole Dominion, to be observed as a day of prayer and reconsecration to the duty of working and battling for freedom and righteousness in the world. A similar day had been proclaimed by His Majâ€" esty the King on the anniversary of Britain‘s entry into the war. Sunday, Sept. 6th, was the anniversary of Canâ€" ada‘s entry into the fight for liberty and the right, and so appeared to be the appropriate day. Council received the formal approval of the Provincial Dept. of Health to the Plumbing Byâ€"law. ‘"How long has it been since this byâ€"law came up here?" one member of council asked. "Eight months,‘" replied one. "Eighteen monâ€" ths," said another. In regard to the later time some members of council remarked that though the council had been working on the plumbing byâ€"law for many months, it was not eighteen months since the department was asked for approval. "Anyway, it has been a long time," was one reply. A petition for the grading and grayâ€" elling of the lane between Waterloo Road and George street was referred to the public works committee. On motion of Councillors Terry and McDbermott a refund of $34.07 was made to H. Brunette, being taxes overpaid in error. Councillor J. W. Spooner and Town Clerk Art Shaw were delegated to reâ€" present the council at the annual conâ€" vention of the Ontario Municipal Asâ€" sociation August 25th to 28th. Routine accounts were passed for payâ€" ment. Councillor Bartleman asked if relief accounts could not be tabled unâ€" der heads such as "rent," "wood", etc., so that it would be apparent what each item was for. Under the present plan it was not always possible for members of council to know what the items were about. It was agreed that the proposed plan would be better and it will be adâ€" opted in future. Council granted permission for the closing of Cedar street from Third to Fourth on Wednesday evening. Aug. 19, for the nolding of a street meeting by the Labourâ€"Total War Committee. ‘This seaâ€"going army trans ceive them. Only fragmentary details are given aut in regard to the raid by the comâ€" mandées on Dieppe It would appear that Canadian and other British troops and United States forces were in the attack, but there is no official referâ€" ence to the number engaged, though it is indicated that the number WAS 'greater than in any of the several preâ€" vious commando raids. One third of }t.he German air force fighterâ€"plane ‘strength in the West has probably been destroyed or damaged in the fierce sky battles over Dieppe. The Allies lost 95 planes, the Germans are said to have lost over 100, but this apparently does not include ground losseg in the bombâ€" ing of a big airdrome by U.S., fiying fortresses. At Ottawa last night Premier King announced the proposed new imeasures of control of manpower and. wommanâ€" power. He said the plan wa.s to: put all, except the very young and the very old and the disabled behind the war effort. Moscowâ€"The Russians announce the abandoning of Krasnodar, but there has been no change in the Don River Bend lines. Allied planes attacked Japanese War ships in the Northernâ€"Solomons yesterâ€" day. The loss of the 10,000â€"ton Austraâ€" lian cruiser Canberra, waSs announced officially. British reports say that while the losses in the Dieppe raid were severe, the raid was well worth while for the information gathered in regard to coast b Bs Cb PBAE PC defences by uthe Nazis and other inâ€" formation secured. Councillor Bartleman again referred to the matter of the quantity of water used by garages that washed cars and appeared to use considerable water while paying only a flat water rate. Councillor Bartleman thought that The Advance was wrong in suggesting that the service stations were put on a flat rate during his tenure of office, as he did not remember any such change, It was explained that at one time a numâ€" ber of business places in town were placâ€" ed on a meter rate but it was found that they then paid less than under the flat rate and because of this the meters were taken out again. Mayor Brunette commented that while service stations at times might avnpear to be using conâ€" siderable there were several months when they used very little, if any, water, and so the flat rate might be as fair to the town as the meter plan when the months for the year were averaged. Councillior Spooner said that at the present time there seemed to be only meter available for use and it would not be possible to buy more.. He was having a list of the meters in service checked. There may be a number of them not in use on account of the waâ€" ter being shut off because of vacant buildings. It was agreed that it would be a good idea to check up by means of the water meters on any who appeared to be using special quantities of water. A number of rebates of water rates were authorized for due reasons. was contingent on the approval of the ratepayers in the block in question. The necessary signatures having been obâ€" tained by the Labourâ€"Total War Comâ€" mittes, the council gave its approval. Approval was given for a small adâ€" dition to the town market building facâ€" ilities, the cost not to exceed $75.00. The meeting yesterday was handled with the efficiency and despatch that has been the usual rule in council meetâ€" ings in the past two years. Practically all the questions before the council had been dealt with by the council in comâ€" mittee and so it was not necessary to have lengthy explanations or discussion. _ Mayor Emile Brunette presided at l yesterday‘s council meeting, all the othâ€" o Pn sls ) 5oo dn n s Single Copyâ€"Five Cents er members of council â€"â€" Counciliors Ellen Terry, W.
