Reports comirg in to the headquarâ€" ters of the Cochrane District of the Victory Loan at Timmins are more than encouraging. They seem to sugâ€" gest that the loan is going over the top, but that is only inspiring those in charge of the campaign to redoubled effort. _ Yesterday, headquarters said that reports had come in from the Disâ€" trict on the first day‘s sales gave Smocoth Rock Falls 70 per cent of obâ€" jective; Cochrane, 25 per cenkt, of obâ€" jective; Dome, 12% per cent. The Townchip of Tisdalse Employces have reached 1co per cent of their obâ€" jective. The Workers‘ Coâ€"operative have 100 per cent, on the payvroll objective plan. Goced progress is being made at Kapâ€" ukasing. All prospects appear strong for a conâ€" tinued increase in the next day or two. The committees and canvassers are buckling into work. Timmins headâ€" quarters in the Emuire hotel have made some large overâ€"theâ€"counter sales and anticipate an increased flow of bond purchases right along. News and views of the effort in the district were broadcast over the radio Tuesday night by Organizer E. W. Brooks, General Sales Chairman P. J. Durdlop and Public Relations Chairman H. F. Burt. From Schumacher comes the story of happy good fortune for the several parties concerned. Fir:st, there is Bob Crosby, chairman o‘ the National War Finance Committee in Schumacher, who had the good fortune to make a big sale on his first canvass. Next, there are the O‘Hara‘s of 107 A First avenu>, Schumacher, fortunate in having a charming little daughter, Sandra Hunter O‘Hara, who has just celebrated her second birthday. And last, but not least by any means, is ltâ€" tle Miss Sandra Hun‘ler O‘Hara herâ€" elf, lucky indeed to have such a home and family and such a wonderful birthâ€" day gift. The O‘Hara‘s had the inspirâ€" ation that no better birthday present could be made to the youngster than to buy her Victory Bonds. Mr. Crosby thought it an excellent idea and the final result was that Bob had the pleaâ€" sure of writing a "Third Victory Bond" in favour of Sandra Hunter OHara for the handsome sum of $5,000.00 Remands were given at polics court on Tuesday in six cases of charges of receiving stolen goods. Walter Greenâ€" wood faced three charges there was anâ€" other charge against Mrs. Greenwood, while Gordon Labine had two charges against him. The police were not ready to nroceed, and it is understood there will be other charges laid. Tools, lawnâ€" mowers, baby carriages, toy carts, biâ€" cycles, tires, fur coats, etc., are among the articles alleged to he stolen recentâ€" ly in town, and from these thefts the present cases developed.

Beatrice Munroée. Lieut Beatrice Munroe made a comâ€" plete conquest of the audience. Her sincerity, her eloquence and her frankâ€" ness won all. Speaking of what she had herself seen, she pictured the kind of war the present one is, how the Briâ€" tish people are facing it in good heart and noble faith, how the Armed Forces are doing their part so gallantly, with. special mention of the Canadian solâ€" diers, sailors and airmen, and she apâ€" pealed in earnest words for all to stand by and support to the limit the men who are risking their all for liberty, the Empire and the right. In regard to the Victory Loan she made it clear, as she phrased it, "It‘s either your money or your life!" A dance by a group of Ukrainian girls in their colourful native costumes was a special feature of the evening, after which another young lady, Mrs. Annic Kuinka also "stole the show" with a graceful rendition of a Spanish dance ihat hrougcht the most enthusiastic apâ€" graceful rendition of that brought the moi plause.
