Timmins Kiwanis Club at the Monâ€" | Arrangements were made to hold the Stoker Petty Officer Powell gave a very interesting account of his experâ€" tences in the Navy. His account was mcodest one, highlighted by humour] and the very evident love of adventure. One of the incidents that he mentioned by special request was the affair of the encounter with the German sukmarine, given in some detail in The Advance of Nov. 12th. This Uâ€"boat was first sightâ€" ed by an American plane who passed the word along to the Corvette Oakâ€" ville, on which Petty Offcer Powell serv ed. The Oakville first dropped a depth bomb, forcing the submarine to the surface. The corvette then rammed the sub., later turning its guns on the Uâ€" boat. Lieut. Commander C. A. King, D.CC., then decided to rapture the Uâ€" boat by a boarding party and Subâ€" Lieut. Lawrence and Powell were asâ€" signed to the task. They swam in their underclothing to board the submarine; and when they boarded the sub they shot down those who failed to obey their orders. ‘The submarine was searched for demolition bombs but noâ€" thing was found of this nature.. By this time the Uâ€"boat gave evidences of sinking. from the punishment received. ‘The Uâ€"boat trew were ordered over the side and instructed to swim for the Oakville. The two officers then jumped clear themselves as the submarine started to sink below the water. They had to swim about a quarter of a mile before they were picked up by a skiff from the corvette. ‘The Kiwanis were very pleased at the address by the guest of honour and were also pleased to meet Mrs. Powell who accompanied her hero husband on his trip north.

Forecast from Local Weaâ€" ther Observatory T his Mofning. "Stormy with light rain today, probâ€" ably turning colder with snow for the weekâ€"end" was the forecast of Mr. Wheeler of the Hollinger Weather Obâ€" servatory this morning.

At 8 o‘clock this morning it was 34.

One of the calls during the past week was on Friday at 4.02 p.m. to 109 Elm street north. It was a CaASe of overâ€" heated stovepipes and no damage WaS done.

Suggest Sanctuary for Migratory Birds on Porcupine Lake As will be noted from the minutes of Tisdale township council elsewhere in this issue, the township of Whitney is asking for coâ€"cperation of the townâ€" ship of Tisdale in consideration of a sanctuary for migratory birds on the shores of Porcupine Lake. It would be Township of Whitney Asks Coâ€"operation from Tisdale a very pleasing asset for the district if | such a sanctuary could be established. The people of both Whitney and Tisâ€" dale would be surprised at the interest that would be created, unless they conâ€" sidered the case of Jack Miner‘s bird sanctuary at Kingsville, where thouâ€" sands of people come from all over Canada and the United States to see the birds on their regular visits. Some years ago, throught officials of the Rod and Gun iClub, especially J. D. Brady, effort was made to establish such a sanctuary for birds in this district. For a time it seemed that the plan would succeed, and daily there were crowds at Gillied Lake to see the birds. Naâ€" ture lovers and particularly the youngâ€" sters, who are nearly all nature lovers, were lelighted at the opportunity to see the large gathering of birds there. wWild rice was planted in the lake to provide food for the birds and in addiâ€" tion people took food to the lake 16 scatter for the viditors Then some miscreants decided to take a few pot shots at the birds just when they seemed to have decided to make the place a regular port of call Although there were some prosecutions, the birds for the next few seasons, decided themâ€" selves to vary their route. The Advance has always regretted, as have many others$ here, that the plan was thus spoiled by one Or two mean fellows. If a sanctuary is established regularly on Porcupine Lake, the law will proâ€" vide severe penalties for disturbance C M TL 00 ie m V aA NA S . ch .A of the bird;‘, z;nd another point of specâ€" ial interest will be provided in the disâ€" trict. Red Cross Sweater Much Appreciated by Soldier Overseas Just the Thing for the Briâ€" tish Climate, Soldier Says. Excerpts from a letler recelyeU 2y Miss Dorothy Howard, of Timmins, who had put her name in a sweater she had knitted for the Red Cross. The writer is in the First Canadian Army Tank Brigade. Dear Dorothy:â€" I received your most welcomed sweater toâ€"day (17th Octobâ€" er) through the Red Cross.

Still Seeking Settlement of Ford Plant Strike Mayor Ready to Serve in Office for Another Year Some of Present Council Will Not Run if Expense ~ of Election Incurred. When told this week of what appears to be a general desire in town for the return of the present council by acclaâ€" mation, to save the cost, annoyance and interference with the war effort of an election, Mayor Brunette said that he was ready to serve for another year and agreed that it appeared to he a good plan to return the present counâ€" cil by acclamation. Mayor Brunette said the record of the council spoke for itself. The town had received good service, and economy and war effort had been the chief considerations. Some of the members of council said they would not contest seats for counâ€" cil in case of an election, as there were so many calls on the time and money these days for patriotic purposes, that it did not look well to expend it in elecâ€" tions. While all agreed that they had enjoyed the work of the council and were ready to do it again if the people wished, some of them did not think it ‘was worth a fight these days in view of the other efforts needed in connection with the war.

Remus store in Timmins occurred Jast July, with several thousand dollars‘ Fworth ‘of‘ goods: uaken. the Timmins police ; made every effort to track the guilty ones, lists and descriptions of the gbods being widely circulated. After several months there has been some returns from this effort, as goods have been discovered in Toronto, Winnipeg, and other cities that were apparently part of the loot from the Remus store. As a result Mr. Remus left this week to be a witness at the trial of a man named Frank Wasâ€" nie, whose home is given as Winnipeg, and who is now charged wth being in Ipossession of some of the goods stolen from the Remus store. Wasnie last week was sentenced to four years in penitenâ€" tiary on other charges,â€"and then the charge was laid against his that he was in possession of goods stolen from the Remus store. His trial is to take place toâ€"day on this count, to which he pleads not guilty.

The Fighting France radio, which has been active in broadcasting mesâ€" sage of cheer and hope to loyal Frenchâ€" man since June 1940, went off the air last night in protest against the deal made by the U. S. A. with Adamiral Darlan in North Africa. The British have explained that they were content with the arrangement which was only a temporary measure for military purâ€" poses. ‘The Fighting French station, however, apparently does not trust Darlan and takes the opportunity of leaving the air as a means of expressâ€" ing disapproval. td 4 Word from Windsor is to the effect that hope still continues for a settleâ€" ment of the dispute between 13,500 workers ‘at the Ford Co. of Canada plant at Windsor and the company. The plant is on war work that is now held up for the third day. The strike igy said to have been made by the men themselves, without the order of the ‘C.
