If there is any shortage of fuel wood in Timmins next winter it will not be the fault of the town council. Counâ€" cillors Spooner and Gladstone were apâ€" pointed a committee to look after the matter and they have been right on the job all the time since. Come days ago Councillor Spooner noticed that there was not the usual amount of wood beâ€" ing hauled into town. He approached the wood dealers; "The roads are blocked with smow," they said. "Well, we‘ll stop that!" was the response. Telephone Calls May be Left at Town Hall and Trucks Will Call for Articles. Clothing Needed to Help Russians At Monday‘s council meeting Counâ€"| cillor E.

Special Effort Needed to Meet Quota for Councillor J. W. Spooner at Monday‘s council meeting emphasized the need for special effort in the collection of fats in town. The quota for the town had been set at 40 tons for this year. With nearly a quarter of the year gone, Timmins was far from sight of the quota. Pats were essential for the making of munitions, and he felt that i‘ all realized the need, the quota would be reached. So far this year 2,800 lbs. of fat had been collected, largely through the enterprise and effort of the theatres. Confirm Report, but Much Activity on Eastern Front Allied Circles Do Not From Norh Africa come ment that Allied circles do One of the features of the regular meeting of the town council on Monâ€" day afternoon was the discussion that was brought out by a letter from the Ontaric Minister of Municipal Affairs. The Minister wrote to call attention to the danger of unemployment in the period when war work would be through, the soldiers would be coming home, and industries and business would not be back to normal. He reâ€" commended the appointment of a comâ€" mittee in each municipality to study postâ€"war cbnditions, to prepare a list of public works that could be underâ€" taken to provide employment. Councillor Karl Eyre pointed out that the council was ready to appoint the committee asked, but there was already prepared a lengthy list of essential pubâ€" lic works for the postâ€"war period. Fot some time past the public works comâ€" mittee under the chairmanship of Councillor W. McDermott had been cromniling the list now asked for. some time past mittee under Councillor W. compiling the 1 Councillor Eyre comented that the theatre plan of calling for two pounds of waste fat for admission was a fine idea and should be encouraged. "If you can get the youngsters interested," he said, "things will move along." Councilior Spooner endorsed but added that considerable might be colâ€" lected from cafes hotels, etc. All that was necessary was to put the waste fat in a tin and it would be collected along with the garbage.
