Novel Authorities this week revealed the fact that a Canadian subâ€"lieutâ€" enant and a stoker petty officer (the latâ€" ter a Timmins man) captured the crew of a German Uâ€"boat by leaping from the Canadian corvette, Oakville, to the deck of a sinking enemy submarine and shooting the German crew into subâ€" mission. The one was Stoker Petty Officer Arthur James Powell, R.C.N. of Timmins. The other was Sub.â€"Lieut Harold Lawrence RXCN.VR., of Brockâ€" ville, Ont.. Petty Officer Arthur J. Powell was employed at the Pamour Mine before he left to join the Canadian Navy. His father and mother formerly lived here but more recently havve moved to Coâ€" balt to reside. PFriends of Stoker Petty Officer Powell say that the incident is in character, as he always was a fearâ€" less and, determined fellow, who would keep the smile no matter what happenâ€" ed and who believed in doing his bit irrespective of conditions or danger. It is likely that the particularly daring and effective action of these two officers will receive some special incident as the incident has greated a great meaâ€" sure of interest and has been widely publicized. The story of this chapter in the war reads like a novel. The authorities hive no location for the occurrance, but the story is that the Uâ€"boat was first sighted and bombed by an American bombing plane as it lay in wait for a convoy. The sub. was damaged. Hearâ€" ing the noise of exploding bombs the corvette, Oakville, proceeded to the scene of the action and was later asâ€" sisted by flares dropped by the UJ3. plane. The Oakville first dropped a depth charge which forced the subâ€" marine to the surface. The Oakville then rammed the submarine, doing conâ€" siderable damage. Keeping close to the submarine the corvette kept blasting the underwater boat with gunfire and ramming it twice more. The Oakville‘s first shot blew the sub‘s forward gun clear off the deck. After the third ramâ€" ming the submarine lay motionless on the surface and it was then decided by Lt. â€"Commander C. A. King, D.CX., ; of Oliver, BC,, to capture the Uâ€"boat by a boarding party. Here is how the two Canadian navy men described their exploit according to despatches from a certain Eastern Canadian Port: 1g1 n Pn o CYE £ L1 C3CIIUECELUL, i in PA V UCiL Stoker Petty Officer Arthur James Powell, Formerly of s Pamour, on Two.â€"man Boarding Party that Captured 2| y recuuar monthly meeting of the Uâ€"Boat Crew.

This is education Week in Canadaâ€" the purpose of the week being to foster and increase the general public interest in education. Elsewhere in this issue will be found several articles relating to education. The following written by one of the teachers of one of the Timâ€" mins public schools is worthy of very special note touching as it does on a feature of the school work here that has not received the attention it deserves: War Effort in theâ€" Pubhc Schools of School Children Play Notable Part in Many Lines of the War Effort Public Schools Here Have Bought $5,000 Worth of W ar Savings Stamps. Notable Work for Junior Red Cross by School Pupils. Other Lines of Patriotic Work in the Schools. Timmins One of the chief aims of Education Week is to foster a better understanding of the school by the home. One way we may help to create and improve that understanding is to let parents know something of what is being done in the schools. The sincerity, diligence and ingeâ€" The sincerity, diligence and ingeâ€" nuity with which, our pupils have atâ€" tacked the various enterprises, in war effort, carried on in our schools, has tbeen most enlightening. In fact it puts most of us adults to shame. I am sure, as parents, you will be less anâ€" noyed at your children‘s demands for this or that when you realize the imâ€" mense amount of work that has been accomplished by your boys and girls. For instance, in the sale of war stamps, the schools have each averaged $1,200 per year for the two years that the sale of stamps has been carried on in the schools That makes a total of over $10,000. Between Sept. 1941 and June 1942, 60 p.c. of all the stamps sold in the community were sold in the schools.

By the end of this month at least 25 afghans will have been completed. Much of this wool was ends of wool donated by the parents ‘All the actual work was done by the pupils. The Southern Wave enterpr ise is finâ€" anced by monthly contributions by the teachers. Such worthy causes â€" as ‘the Léglon Bomb Victims‘ Fund, Navy League, Priâ€" soners of War, etc., have received donaâ€" tions totalling almost $1,000.00. Until the time that salvage collection stopped at least 60 tons of salvage was gathered at the various schools and donated to the Kiwanis Club. These items form the main efforts of our schools to date. Many other minor enterprises have been carried out loâ€" cally. My, friends, I‘m sure you will agree that this adds up to a worth while total to say nothing of the training that hundreds of boys and girls are getting in handicrafts, generosity, coâ€"operation, thrift and service. 11 Timmins Branch of the Legion Featured at the Opening of Monteith Hall 1esd 30 p.m. Col.
