t Exchange: The boy on the firing line All in Timmins who saw The Toronto Telegram of Monday, Nov. 16th, were specially interested in the pageâ€"wideo picture on page 21 of the issue, showing two groups of the employees of the General Engineering Co. L‘id., at Scarâ€" boro, Ont. ‘fhis plant is employed exâ€" clusively at war work, and the two groups‘ pictured were those who were engaged in still another form of war work â€"â€" that of raising money for the bomb victims of ‘Britain. In the cenâ€" tre of the picture all noticed the smilâ€" ing face of Mrs T. H. Richards, formerâ€" ly of Timmins, but who left some time ago to do war work in Toronto. Mrs. Richards will be remembered for her patriotic work here, not only during the present war, but in the days of peace before the war. She was in much demand kere as a vocalist at patriotic and community events, while her husâ€" band, the late T. H. Richards did outâ€" standing work for the St. John Aimâ€" bulance Brigade in this part of the North. Mrs. Richards left here for Toronto to engage in war work there, and friends here were pleased to learn that she was one of the supervisors at the General Engineering Co. at Scarâ€" boro. These friends will also be pleasâ€" ed, though not surprised, to learn that she has added another line of patriotic work, to the war work at the plant. This latter patriotic work is the gathâ€" ering of money for the British bomb victims. Bhe started the plan of havâ€" ing each girl in the plant contribute a cent each week to the fund. This would have meant $9.00 every seven days, but this has been far exceeded, as the collection of the money was divided into units and a friendly rivalry soon developed in the matter, with the reâ€" sult that in the first thirtyâ€"five weeks one unit raised $1,000.00, while another contributed $500.00, and they are still going strong. The Toronto Telegram printed a picâ€" ture of the two leading teams with the Heading: "Friendly Rivals at General Engineering Sends First $1,500 to Britâ€" ain". In the centre of the picture was a picture of Mrs. Richards, while unâ€" derneath were these words:;â€" ‘"From what started as penny giving, the emâ€" ployees of Change Housges Nos. 17 and 18 of General Engineering Co. Limited, Bcarboro, . have now. contributed a grand total of $1,500 to The Evening Telegram British War Victims‘ Fund". Former Timmins Resident Originates Plan to Help the Bomb Victims Fund Women employees of the General Engineering Company, Limited, Scarâ€" boro, have conrtibuted a total of $1,500 to the Evening Telegram British War Victims‘ Fund in red donation boxes placed in the two change houses. "The girls in‘ Change House No. 17 reached their first objective of $1,000 Saturday with a donation of $300. Those using Change House No. 18 preâ€" sented, $100 to boost their total to $500. The latter group of girls started a conâ€" siderable number of weeks later and are at present striving to make up the difference in donations. To this end a friendly rivalry has sprung up between the two large groups. The Telegram also makes the followâ€" ing reference to the matter under a double ‘ column . ‘heading:â€" ‘"Scarboro War Plant Units Compete as Friendly Rivals to Raise $1,500 for Britons." "An example of how the money is made up is provided by one woman WAr worker, who passes up refreshments during the morning recess and daily grops five cents into the little red box. ‘"Mrs. R. Richards, a supervisor in Change House No. 17, was the originaâ€" tor of the plan, with her suggestion that every girl contribute one cent each week, whcih would have brought the fund $9 every seven days. Howâ€" ever in 35 weeks this one house has raised $1,000, surpassing the original idea by a considerable amount. "The three supervisors of each chanâ€" ge house, and the encouragement of the personnel department, have been large factors in the success of the plan. "Simple signs in each department state the purpose of the boxes. Since every girl war worker completely chanâ€" ges her clothing before and after shifts, it means that they pass the boxes daily. All contributions are entirely volunâ€" Mrs. T. H.

International President Gives Inspiring Message to Timmins Kiwanis Club Published in Timmins. Ont.. Canada EVERY THURSDAY Timmins was honoured on Monday by a visit here from Fred G. McAlister, of London, Ont., President of Kiwanis International. Mr. McAlister is the third Canadian to hold this important pcsition. He has been a member of the London Kiwanis Club for eighteéen years. He is a barrister of note and a prominent citizen of London, Ont. Fate of Democracy is in the Hands of the Local Communâ€" ity, Says President of Kiwanis International. "We Can Only Save a Way of Life by Living It." Programmes of Kiwanis Outlined. | f His address at the weekly luncheon of the Timmins Kiwanis Club on Monday at the Empire hotel was one that rousâ€" ed dsep thought and was inspiring not Reeve of Whitney Given Acclamation Six Running for Four Seats in Council. Reeve Wm. Bannerman, who hasy given such valuable service as reeve of the township of Whitney, was again elec‘ted by acclamation as head of the towniship for the coming year. The school trustees for Whitney township were also elected by acclaâ€" mation. These trustees elected are Irvine Lane, C. D. Stevenson, T. E. Wearing. There were a number nominated for seats at the council board and the folâ€" lowing six qualified for four seats, an election being thus necessary for the council:â€"A. W. Bromley, H. Montrose, Claude Dillon, Geo. Ransom, H. Curâ€" now, I. P. Wilson, W. Gervais and L. Cullins. Messrsi. Brcmley, Montrose and (Dilâ€" lon were on this year‘s council. KH. Goudie, the other member of the presâ€" ent council, is not running again. Just over six weeks ago théy were civilians in all walks of lifeâ€"Stenogâ€" raphers, teachers, clerks, students and salesladies. They drill four hours daily and take their drill so seriously that it breaks thein hearts if they have to miss it, They even refuse to go on sick leave they are that wrapped up in it. these airwomen go through their drill will delight at their manner of presâ€" entation. Educational â€" berause it proves to the public that a woman can become as good a soldier as a man in many instances. However, the girls don‘t spend all their time pgtting on darill demonstraâ€" tions. This is their basic training perâ€" iod, and while drill is a large part of that, they are given lectures on Eerâ€" vice subjects daily. At the conclusion of this tour they will disband and commence trade training which, when kompleted, will enable them to reâ€" lease men for more active duties. Anâ€" other group of girls will then be asâ€" sembled to form the next precision squad. The necessity of being alert and on their toes throughout the drill dGemâ€" onstration will eventually stand the girls in good stead. This has been demonstrated time and time again by members of the R.C.A.F, Men‘s Preciâ€" sion Squadron at Lachine. In nearly every graduatinz class, whether it be an aircrew or ground trade, those men who were members of the Precision Squadron doing their basic training will be found near the top. The squadron is under the command of Section Officer Alice Fahrenholtz who accompanies the girls on all dccasions and is responsible for their welfare. During the demonstrations Flight Sergeant Lawrence, a Kamloops, BC. girl, takes charge. Flight Sergâ€" eant Lawrence has been one of the hits of the show wherever the airâ€" women perform. Her deepâ€"voiced comâ€" mands amaze people who wonder how a charming and diminutive miss could sound so much like an Army Serâ€" geant Major. One of the two male members of the group is their instructor, Sergeant Crook. His work is more along the lines of a dance director than drill instructâ€" or. In fact, "choreographer‘" might be a more apt term, for in patterning the routine to be executed by the girls he has used all the skill of a ballet ector. The other member is Flying Ofâ€" ficer L. ‘W. Grabuurn, who is responâ€" ‘ible for the Air PForce organization throughout the tour. only to the spirit of Kiwanis but to the community and patriotic effort. The International â€" Presiident spoke for threeâ€" quarters of an hour and during that time held the closest attention of the large gathering. In addition to the number of guests for the day, several Kiwanis members from South Porcuâ€" pine joined in the welcome here to the International President. International â€" President McAlister chose as the text for his address, the title "Bridging the Unbridgable". Kiâ€" wanis builds bridges over vast mental and spiritual spaces, he said, and he ilâ€" lustrated his subject by reference to two great things that had been brought out in the last war and that had held their life unto this day. One was the poem, ‘"In Flanders‘ Field," and the other was a letter written by a little French school girl. "In Flanders‘ Field" had proved a vital inspiration to duty and to patriotism. The letter of the little French school girl had brought out the friendship which existâ€" ed between her country and the new world, and the fact that although the German army was so much closer, yet there was an impossible gap between them and her people that could not be bridged at the time, Germany, with her brutality and her totalitarian mentality, has for the last three years widened the gulf between her and the democracies, who in part showed their aims and aspirations in the Atlantic charter. The totalitarian state, the speaker pointed out, does not tolerate any viewpoint other its own. Religion, the home, liberty of the press and freedom of: speech must be made to conform to the wishes of the state. On the other hand the extreme indivâ€" idualist, who to a great extent built this country, has also gone. That inâ€" dividualist laid the foundation for our civilization. However, it was group will and purpose that built the superâ€" structure. The fate of democracy is in the hands of the local community. The leaders in a democracy must listen to these groups. Kiwanis, â€"the Interneâ€" tional President said, is symbolic of democracy. If the will of the communâ€" ity has been taken away from it and authority centred unduly, then the first step has been taken to lay the foundaâ€" tion for a totalitarian state, the Interâ€" national President continued. The inâ€" dividual in the community will be deâ€" prived of his incentive and initiative. The tragedy in Europe is not so much that it has produced dictators. "It is our duty," said Mr. McAlister, "to deâ€" fend interdependents of groups against totalitarianism and rugged individualâ€" ism alike." The International President pointed out that Kiwanis has three sets of proâ€" grammes at the present time. One is the vsual peacetime programme, such as charity, boys‘ work, community welâ€" fare, etc. Another is the postâ€"war probâ€" lem, including the reâ€"vamping of the Pritish North America Act, and conâ€" trcl cof prices by international cartels, helping in the transitory changes in industry after the war, and the rehabâ€" ilitation of veterans. Another part of the programme, and the most importâ€" ant at the presient time is the wartime pregramme, as nothing matters now but victory. One of the many istriking thoughts left with his audience by the Internatâ€" ional President was contained in his words:â€" ‘We can only save a way of life by living it". Among the visitors present for the day were:â€" Flight Lieutenant T. G. Hoiley, North Bay; Flying Officer A. S. Parker, London; Archdeacon Woodall, Ssouth Porcupine; Sol Sky, South Porâ€" cupine; Etan Gardiner, president South Porcupine Kiwanis; Reeve Victor H. Fvans, South Porcupne; Clarence Anâ€" derson, South Porcupine; Dr. Henry Hudson, Timmins. At Monday‘s Kiwanis luncheon Presiâ€" dâ€"ntâ€"Elect Bill Burnes was in the chair. The singing was led by Kiwanian F. Woedbury. The guest speaker for the day, Inâ€" ternational iPresident Fred G. McAlisâ€" ter was introduced by Reeve V. H. Eyâ€" ans, of South Porcupine. A hearty vote of thanks for the inspiring address was moved by Dr. S. L. Honey, and carried enthusiastically. On behalf of the Timmins Klwanla Club and the people of the district Kiâ€" wanian John Beatty presented the Inâ€" ternational President with a specimen of gold quartz. Mr. A. F. McDowell announced that the next meeting of the Kiwanis Club will be held in the MciIntyre Communâ€" ity hal} next Monday at 6 p.m., in conâ€" junction with a visit of the R. C. A. P. Women‘s DAivision Precision Squadron and a 39â€"plece orchestra from the R. C. A. F. at Trenton. The dinner will be at 6 pm. sharp and there will be a show by the Precision Squadron at 8 pm. There will also be a dance in honour of the vicitors starting at 9.30 It was also announced that the South Porcupine Kiwanis Club now meets at 6 pm. on Monday nights at the AMirâ€" The Pioneer Paper of the Porcupine Established 1912
