Women of Britain Continue to "Carry on" Notable Work At the suggestion of a reader very greatly interested, the following from recent issue of The Red Cross Desâ€" patch, is republished in these columns. The article is by Lady Reading, and The Red Cross Despatch prints it as follows :â€" Chairman of Britain‘s Woâ€" men‘s Voluntary Services Speaks of Huge Task en s V oV to Mrs, ) of the ; C'ommltt telling a which di in Brita on Norwic we have h: ing and e although v supplies to al} parts of of course, t imum of d a recurren night, the equipped t were large each case, ] reâ€"planning emergency taking place was proved (ANADA kc CANADAS HOUSOLDIERS The CANADA STARCH COMPANY Limiled, FREE! r appetite jaded during these tempestuous timesâ€"do your m dull and uninteresting? : your family‘s appetite with desserts that are delicious and s â€"blanc manges and puddings that can be made easily and ost, with Canada Corn Starch. e quality of Canada Corn Starch gives possible results â€"a smooth texture that m starch desserts delightful. s in of the Womâ€" Britain, writes pbell, chairman n‘s War Work lian Red Cross, f the W.

In order to prepare these people for the extra responsibility which is now theirs, we are launching a scheme by which every single one of our members, including members of the Housewives Section, is to attend a series of five lectures on the basic prinâ€" . | loy: CGeC prC€.

Feeding of the‘ homeless and those awaiting mâ€"l tion was all carried out smoothly and competentliey, and because of this great encouragement and reassurance were | givn to those who were shaken and | shattered by their experiences. | In Bath our Centre Organizer and her deputy were both rendered homeâ€" less in the first raid, but despite this they carried on with their work without thought for themselves and earned the utmost respect and admiration of all who came across them. The result of this effort and of the magnificent way in which people of all kinds played up and somehow maintained the high standard of organization and strength of character, at a time when both are severely tested, played an important part in localizing the seriousness of the damage which had been done. It is everyone‘s duty to know a little bit about Immediate Air, Fireâ€"Fightâ€" ing and so on, for anyone may find themselves in the position of being called on to meet just such an emerâ€" gencey, and if they have the assurance of feeling that they know a little bit about it, their courage and resistance are strained far less than they would be if they were totally unprepared. Most people have already taken a training of some kind at some period in the war, but they can nearly all benefit by rubbing up their knowledge and in certain details methods have changed even during these last few months, and upâ€"toâ€"date knowledge is essential. We are also proposing that our own members should follow suit for they too are householders and because of the tradition which they themselevys have built up and which means that when they are wearing our badge and our uniform, the public looks on them much in the same way that it looks on London‘s policemen; they must be preâ€" pared to rise to every occasion and to know the answers as far as possible over a very wide range of subjects. After an air raid when the Rest Centres are opened and arrangements are being made for reâ€"housing, evacâ€" uating, clothing, feeding, etc., a memâ€" ber of W.VS. is considered as an Ofâ€" ficer with authority and one who will be able to help. If our workers never go outside their canteens, their clothâ€" ing depots, offices and kitchens, they must learn up the other part of our work, with which they do not come inâ€" to contact, so that they are not put in the invidious position of having to say "I don‘t know" when asked to help at such a time. It is quite an undertaking to train over a million and a quarter women, especially when all of them are already fully occupied, and overworked; but because of the very real national need they have realized immediately that they are only being asked to spare the time because it is essential that they should, and they are managing to reâ€" spond to the occasion as they do to all demands which we make on them. The scheme of providing vegetables to minesweepers and other ships in port has grown to large proportions now, and met with great success. Gardâ€" eners and allotment holders on whatâ€" ever scale, living in the vicinity of w port offer their producet for this scheme so that hampers may be sent weekly. The reports of the improved health of the men receiving these fresh vegetables are encouragement enough, and added to this is the gratitude of the men who are immensely appreciative of the service. Ottawa Journal: Fat, beâ€"medalled Goering proposes to eat if a million Poles starve to death. No one would expect anything better from the saâ€" distic criminals in charge of the Gerâ€" man war machine The Advance had the following article +en vears ago on the front page: â€""The fine new hall recently completâ€" ed for the use of the Canadian Ukrainâ€" ian Prosvita Association of Timmins was formally opened on Sunday afterâ€" noon. This is at the corner of mmi avenue and Elm street, and is a handâ€"| some â€" and wellâ€"equipped â€" structure. While the exterior is not yet completed the interior looked especially well and roused general comment in regard to | the enterprise and good taste of the loyal Ukrainians. His Worship Mayor Geo. S. Drew cut the ribbon and deâ€" clared the hall formally opened. The presiident of the Canadian Ukrainain Prosvita Association, Wm. Tolpolonicky, made a very capable chairman for thel occasion. The proceedings were opene@ed | by the Timmins Citizens Band playing "O Canada" and the Ukrainain nationâ€" al anth:m, and then the chairman inâ€". vited Mayor Drew, Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman, ‘ Councillors R. Richardson and Dr.. Honey, Capt. D. Jones, L. Longmore, . W. O. Langdon, president of the board . of trade, A. Odgers, Dictator of the Moose, Austin Neame, president of the Canadian Legion, the president of the Kirkland Lake Loyal Ukrainain Sociâ€" ety, the representative of the Croatian Society, and other prominent citizens of the town and district to seats on the platform with its attractive stage setâ€" tings. The chairman outlined the purâ€" lpc.:es of the Canadian Ukrainain Prosâ€" vita Association, the chief of which, he |said. was to make better Canadian Citâ€" izens. He pointed out that "Prosivita‘" means "Enlightenment‘* or "Educaâ€" tion.‘" M. Luchkovich, MP. for Vegreâ€" ville, Alberta, was the first speaker of the day and gave an eloquent address full of information. Mayor Drew conâ€" gratulated the Loyal Ukrainains on their handsome hall and spoke of the |va1ue of clubs like this to the comâ€" munity. He said this country had no use for those who sought only to creâ€" ate trouble and injury but for the loyal and the goodâ€"hearted there was welâ€" come and kindly feeling. Addresses were then given by Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman, Mr. Pelishok, representing Kirkland Lake Ukrainains, President Langdon of the board of trade, G. A. Macdonald, editor of The Advance; Austin Neame, president of the Canadian Legion, A. Odgers, director of the Moose, a repreâ€" sentative of the Society, and E. L. Longmore. In the evening a conâ€" cert of much merit was given in the new hall, a feature of the evening being | _ _Mayor Geo. S.

The cousin was ill havâ€" ‘;ing just come from the hospital where he had been for two and a half months.

Nominations for municipal offices were held on Friday, November 25th, 1932, and two candidates for mayor and twentyâ€"three for councillors were namâ€" ed. The public school trustees were elected by acclamation, Messrs. G. S. Lowe and E. H. Hill being reâ€"elected, and A. G. Luxtom elected to fill the place of T. Blackman who had retired from the work. The candidates qualiâ€" fying for mayor were Geo. S. Drew, the mayor then, and J. E. H. Chateauvert, councillor in 1931. For councillors, the following were the names on the balâ€" lot:â€"R. Richardson, Dr. S. L. Honey, J. Mcrrison and J. T. Chenier, of the council then, and Geo. Parson, J. K. Massie, W. Stewart, Moise Maltais, Alâ€" bert Paquette and Nick O. Thachuk. ed a complete success in every way. The attendance was large, practically fillâ€" ing the theatre. The audience appreciâ€" ated the event and felt they had big value for their money. The net proâ€" ceeds added materially to the Kiwanis funds for helping children, including the work of supplying milk to underâ€" nourished children. The programme presented by the Kiwanis Club, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. H. Burt, was remarkâ€" able for both quality and quantity and for variety. It was carried through in very effective way and reflected credit on all concerned. Dancing, music, comâ€" edy were featured, and the Kiwanis numbers made a special hit. During the evening, J. D. Brady, chairman of the Kiwanis committeée in charge of the event, thanked the audience for their attendance and interest and the people generally for their support. The Kiwanis Musical Revue in the Goldfields theatre ten years ago provâ€" There was a good attendance ten years ago at the concert in the Goldâ€" fields theatre after the church serâ€" vices, and the programme fully justiâ€" fied the best kind of attendance. The event was under the auspices of the Timmins Division of the St. John Amâ€" bulance Brigade, and the whole proâ€" gramme was of the finest type. Dr. L. S. Honey was chairman for the evening and introduced the programme in an appropriate way, speaking of the good work of the St. John Ambulance Brigâ€" ade and the fact that this organization THE PORUUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO deserves the support of all. Every item cn the programme was encored, some of the artists being recalled time and time again, and this approval was roused by the genuine superiority of the numbers given. Among the local and personal items in The Advance ten vears ago were the A. S. Muterer left recâ€" ently ‘or Ingersoll, Ont., where he is taking up residence.

St. Mary‘s Hosgpital â€" a (Marie Bertha Lola). Porn â€" on Nov. 1l7th, (By â€"C. V. Charters) Midst a setting of rare photographic value, but under a sullen overcast sky with a gale blowing, your corresipondâ€" ent, under a veritable hail of fire bulâ€" lets, shells, mortar bombs and smoke bombs, witnessed a great demonstration of a Canadian Infantry Brigade, with supporting arms, going into the attack to clear a passage for the remainder of the Division to go through. The infantry regiments of this Brigâ€" ade are three well known to residents of Ontario. This was the Brigade that in June 1940 went to France, but due to conditions that prevailed there at that time, were ordered to withdraw without taking part in any engageâ€" ments with the enemy. These were your koys or your neéighbours. They came from London, Stratford, Orangeville, Brampton, ‘Oakville, Belleville, Picton, Napanee, Oshawa, Toronto, Weston, and various other Ontario towns s familiar to us all. For the past three years, these lads have been training and training hard for what lays before them. And despite the boredom of waitâ€" ing, waiting, waiting, and the natural longing to be with their loved ones once again, these men have steeled themselves for what is to come and are prepared to meet the enemy on any eround. ‘anada‘s Senior Infantry Many Arms Take Part The infantry were supported in their task by the entire Divisional Artillery, a Tank Battalion, a section. of> Enginâ€" eers, two Companies of Machine Gunâ€" ners, an Antiâ€"Tank Regiment, and in theory, a squadron. of the R.C.AP. Three strongly held positions of great tactical value gave the enemy the adâ€" vantage in this magnificent show uf endurance and skill by the Canadian Troops. Despite very heavy going, due to the recent raings and the condition of the ground, and the fact that several large hills had to be surmounted, the infantry (the P.B.I. as they were called in the last war) successfully gained their objectives and moved forward at the appointed times. One has to take a mall part (even as a spectator moving over the ground) in these manoeuvres, to appreciate just what amount of stamina and spirit is required to overâ€" come natural and manâ€"made hazards. Coâ€"Ordinated Effort The efficiency and coâ€"ordination of all arms was remarkably good. Interâ€" communication with the various units was of a high calibre. Companies of the Infantry being in constant communicaâ€" tion with their battalion headquarters and the battalion headquarters in turn being in communication with the Brigâ€" ade Headquarters who controlled the whole effort. From brigade headâ€" ;quarters via various means, the supâ€" l'porting arms were directed by the Brigâ€" adier. Directly on the stroke of the zero hour, the Artillery opened up a terrific barrage on the initial objective, to allow a troop of tanks to shepherd the mine clearing the mine fields for the followâ€"up of tanks and infantry, Churchills in Action It was a grand sight to witness from our vantage point. The huge rumbling Churchill}s sprayed everything in front of them to give cover to the engineer party. The job completed, the engineers placed tapes to make a safety lane for the following tanks and infantry. Then they returned to a rear position under the protective care of the tanks,. By now the next wave of tanks (which in | the distance looked like ants crawling i 1 about) were proceeding at tank speed on to their objectives, to clear our maâ€" chine gun nests and any infantry obâ€" stacle that might be in the way. They manoeuvred about, racing thither and yon, until they reached the crest of the first objective. Right on their heels were the first wave of the infantry, with bayonets fixed, running towards the enemy and taking cover as the necessity arose, then rising uand adâ€" vancing several hundred more yards. Infantry Plays Its Part During this advance of the infan‘ry, the mortars came into play, setting down the smoke scereens to give the infantry and tanks ~â€"protective cover from the left flank and to the front, while the RCAFP. were doing likewise on the right flank. While the forward battalion of infantry were consolidating their first objective, the two battalions following through pivoted right and left to reach their respective objectivesy and so widen the gap created by the forâ€" ward unit. During this time, the var«â€" ious arms of the infantry were brought into use, Bren carriers and mortar platoons doing a very effective job with the odd pillâ€"box or machine gun nest that had been overlooked by the tanks, the mortars effectively using H. E. and smoke and the carriers doing a nice job of work with their bren guns. The entire coâ€"ordination was particâ€" ularly good, but the enthusiasm and knowledge of their task, shown by the infantry, was a revelation to this writer, and to all those privileged to witness this attack of Canada‘s Senior Infantry Prigade.

There are two main causes for these temporary and local shortages: For tie past year we have been consistently using 10% to 15% more butter than in normal timesâ€"â€" with consequent disturbance to the distribution of our butter supplies. Many people have been buying more batter than they currently need, ' The limited nature of the present shortage is shown by the fact that if every home would reduce its consumption of butter by only cne ounce per person per week (for the average home this means a quarter of a pound a week)yâ€"or if we reduced our national consumption to the peacetime rateâ€"the shortage would soon disappear.
