The regular meeting of the town ecuncil was held yesterday afternoon, with the mayor in the chair and Coun. cillors W. Roberts, W. McDermott, J. W. $pooner and J. P. Bartleman presâ€" ent. The chief item of business was the announcement of the decision in the matter of the request of the Timmins C. C. F. Club for the use of the town hall for its regular meetings. Mr. Parâ€" ker, president of the C. C. P. Club, Mr. Harold Hopkins and Mr. Wm. Stewart, who had presented the case for the C. C. F. Club at the previous meeting of the council two weeks ago were again present to receive the definite answer premised at this meeting. Mayor Bruâ€" nette told the delegation that they would receive a wtritten reply in the matter. (Mr. Parker presented a list of a number of cther towns where the C. C. F. was allowed the use of the town hall for meetings. He quoted from a letter from a C. C. F. official in Torâ€" onto to the effect that they could not recall a refusal where any responsible body of citizens were willing to pay the reasonable rental charged. Town Hall Reserved for Use of Patriotic Welfjfare â€" and Charitable Meetings â€" Council Reâ€"Affirms Decision Not to Open it to Political Organizations and States Reasons. Other Matters at Regular Meeting of Council Yesterday. sc 1 Councillor W. Roberts in reply said that no cther municipality in Northern Ontario allowed the use of the town hall for political meetings. He had written to a number of towns of simiâ€" lar size to Timmins and out of sixteen replies received eight were for and eight against the idea of allowing the use of the town hall in this way. COf the eight allowing it, six made a charge. In some cases the charge was a high one. ‘The towns quoted by Mr. Parker were nearly all smaller places. In any event Councilior Roberts said the council had decided to adhere to its policy of alâ€" lowing the use of the hall only for patâ€" riotic, welfare and charitable meetings. No other policy seemed practical, as the hall already was in use 75 per cent of the time and to extend the list of those using the hall would make it so that it would not be available for the purposes specified. mmoo «t i t P > The report of the Timmins Industrial Rurvey Committee was before the counâ€" cil and council decided to hold a speâ€" cial meeting on Monday to consider it fully. o COther reports before council was one in reference to the recent meeting of ontario town engineers, as submitted by Town Engineer J. D. MacLean, and one in reference to the recent deputation from the North to Ottawa. Purther re. ference to this latter report will be found in another column of this issue. Letters of thanks and appreciation were received from the Cochrane Disâ€" trict Victory Loan Committee for coâ€" eperation and support; from St. Mary‘s Hospital for grant passed at last meetâ€" ing; and from the Ccmmunity Cigarette Fund Committee for $30C0.00 from the town for Christmas cigarettes for Timâ€" mins men overseas. A letter from Ralph Dispola, South Porcupine, enclosing a map showing a good route for the road to Kamiskotia, was fyled. The letter suggested that the road proposed would be as short and as easy to build as the one being built and it would have the additional advantage of passing through specially promising mining land.

Drew took as the subject of his talk, ‘"Why is Morocco immortan* in this conflict?" MHe did not subject of his talk, ‘"Why is Morocco importan‘ in this conflct?" He did not touch on Morrozsco‘s mlitary importance but gave a graphic description of Morâ€" ccco and its people, so that its value to the Allies was apparent. The boundâ€" aries of Morcceco were explained mounâ€" tain ranges discussed, the forests reâ€" ferred to and much said about the ferâ€" ‘ile valley of Morocco. In this valley wheat, corn, peas and beans were grown in abundance. Mr. Drew touched on the development of railways, canals and highways.

Morocco is divided into five districts, occupied by five races, â€" Berbers (farmers), Arabs, Moors, Negroes and Jows. Morocco he said, was claimed to be important on account of i*s railroad connection to all importâ€" Havre ports.

The Timmins Kiwanis Club has sponsored the Air Cadets here since the organization of the squadron which was one of the first in the Dominion. Throughout Canada the Air Cadets have made remarkable progress not only in numbers, but also in the high regard in which they are held by the general public. . Nowhere has this been more pronounced than in Timmins where it is considered that the Air Cadets have proved one of the most outstanding orâ€" ganizations in its advantage not only to the boys but to the community at large.

Five Fire Calls in 17 Minutes All Apparatus Out and C Requisitioned. With a high wind blowing at noon on Tuesday, Timmins fire fighters ansâ€" wered no less than five fire calls within 17 minutes. Before the rush was over all the apparatus was out and for the last call a car was requisitioned to take chemital tanks to the scene. Chief Borland after the second alarm called all the firemen off duty and brought them to the hall, and they were all needed. There was a call also for the volunteer firemen and as usual they helped out the situation. While all the calls were for chimney fires and no damage resulted, the high wind made ithem all dangerous, and had Timimins lacked its able force of skilled firefightâ€" ers, the story might be much more serious. At 12.10 the first call came in by nhone from 409 Pine street south ; then at 12.12 there was one from 115 Mountjoy street; and one at 12.17 from 59% Wilson; one at 12.23 from 44 Mid. dleton: and at 12.27 from 255 Maple N. dleton; and at 12.27 from 200 MaApDIiC N. On Monday the firemen had one call with a fire loss of several hundred dolâ€" lars. It might Hhave been more but for the firemen. It was at 160 Elm south, where a fire believed to have been caus~d by a cigarette or lighted match threatened to be a serious fire. Saturday at 9.10 pm., there was a call to 17 Borden Ave., but there was [ no fire. i _COn Friday the thirteenth, there were !four calls, two of them for chimney fires ‘with no damage and another a false lalarm. There was one, however, where damage of about $200.00 was done at 12 O‘Neill street. This fire was caused by !overheated stovepipes and thimble. eccmmittee to a view to bett The Commit the que the lumb securing of a ne out of the runni does not appear ing the establi tries, but lished one was being dealt with otne Industrial Survey Committe several subâ€"committees and detailed report in writing, t (Continued on Page 1 Single Copyâ€"Five Cents ented n connection f machine st It will be hin 2e L seCcure aif to bettering the Timmins â€" Indu ee has studied oT 1 it du * W Ga 96 (#116 ituation. lal â€" Sut C 16 d from, the being pa iAf 11rAj indu ippear rmnmen B1 mmins s said ) preâ€" riefly on of V
