Ryan Trophy of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metâ€" allurgy, awarded for the 19842 best safety record of any Canadian Metal mme employing over 100 men throughout the year. Award Presented to Manaâ€" ger Angus D. Campbell on Monday.. ‘The trophy was presented at the anâ€" nual dinner of the Institute at Monâ€" treal, Monday, April 12, with Omega‘s manager, Mr. Angus D. Campbell atâ€" tending to receive it. The secretaryâ€" treasurer of the company, Mr. E. D. Fox, of Toronto, will also attend as the persional representative of the presâ€" ident and board of directors in the unâ€" avoidable absence of the President, Mr. J. P. Bickell. The latter is president of the McIntyreâ€"Porcupine Mines Ltd., and of the Governmentâ€"controlled Vicâ€" tory Aircraft Ltd. ‘The trophies which the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy awards both in coal and metal mining, bear the name and perpetuate the memory of the late John T. Ryan, a mining engineor who pionesred mine safety and the manufacture and use of mins safety apparatus. Each trophy is a stauette of a miner returning home safely flom wWOTkK L his children. The base is suitably inâ€" scribed and the names of the yeariy winners are to be engraved on it. The coal trophy, now awarded yor the first time was won by the Dominion Coal Company‘s No. 25 Mince in Nova Bcotia and the metal trophy, now awarded for the second year goes to Omega. The awards; are based on the freâ€" quency of compensation accidents fover six days‘ lost tim) per 1000 men emâ€" ployed." Omega, which has always nad a good safety record, surpassed all Canadian mines, both coal and metal, in 1942, with only one compensation accident, for an average of 210 men at work (300 per year). This gave Omێga a frequency of less than five compensaâ€" tion accidents per 1000 men, which so far as known is an allâ€"time Canadian safe mining record. Over 15 months have now passed at the mine without a compensation accident. Plans are underway to fittingly reâ€" ceive the John T. Ryan Trophy at Omâ€" ega by a mine party Oof employees, wives and guests to be held in the Capâ€" ital Theatre in Larder Lake on the evening of April 18th. At this party, individual safety aâ€" wards will be made to 50 employees who have worked for over five years without a day‘s lost time from accident. The entertainment program for the event will feature Miss Kay Creignâ€" ton‘s ‘Girls from Kirkland Lake, and Mr. Jack Reid at the piano.

I have been told by many mothers that their young daughters spend to much time on their personal appearance and too little time on keeping their bedâ€" rooms in order, or on keeping their clothes in order. Girls, that is a mistake ,a sad one. For a tidy, at:ractive environment is conductive to more beauty, more sucâ€" cess, more happiness. No girl can train herself too young to keep her environâ€" ment lovely. Actually it takes very little ‘ime to keep one‘s things in their places, and one‘s clothes neat and clean, if a rouâ€" tine is established. Make it a habit never to hang away a garment if it is in need of pressing or cleaning. Cioinâ€" es are at a premium today and you are helping Uncle Sam if you preserve what you own. No famous beauty was made famous entirely by her good looks. She surâ€" rounded herself with an interesting enâ€" vironment and with interesting perâ€" sons. Friends "loved :o come to her attractive home (even though it was a one room affair or a dressing room beâ€" hind the scenes of a theatre), and that home was her stage setting. Now if a favored beau went into a very untidy room and saw a soiled coat thrown over the sofa, you can bet your beots that his ardour for the lady of the moment would be greatly cooled! For the majority of men, the great maâ€" jority of men, prefer tidiness. They are more tidy about their persons than the majority of women. Yes, that is true my pets, even though you may know ane or two who do not measure up. But despite masculine approval or disapproval, a girl should DESIRE to be tidy and sweet and clean. _ She should adore going into her very room where cverything was shipshape, to rest or to make herself more beautiful. For how is one‘s scalp and hair to be kept healthy and glosy if one‘s comb and brush are not kept clean. How is one‘s skin to be free of blemishes if soiled wash cloths and towels are used? How can one look her loveliest if spots and creases detract from the smartness of clothes? How can one feel in tune wich beauty in a rcom that is so conâ€" fug>d with neglect that nothing is where it belongs and when it is found it is; in nsed of attention. And another point in argument is this â€" the girl who trains herself to keep her environment groomed as well as her person, is training her mind the right way, is daily forming a character which is admirable, and she will be ready for the big moment of joy and opportunity that life throws our way dospite wars and other catast:rophies. (Roleased by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) More Wartime Prices and Trade Board Cases Before Court Grocery Firm Fined a Total of $500.00 and Costs on ! Two Charges. Other, Charges Withdrawn. | At Timmins police court on Tuesday the Blahey firm, with stores in Timâ€" mins and Schumacher, was fined a toâ€" tal of $500.00 and costs on two charges, one of failing to observe the price celilâ€" ing regulations in regard to the sale of milk and the other in regard to butâ€" ter. S. C. Platus, K. C., appeared for the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, and explained to the court that the Blahey firm had sold milk at a price higher than was just and reasonable, and that the same held in regard to butter sold by the firm. Mr. Platus exâ€" plained that the government had given a subsidy to milk producers to keep down the price of milk. The firm must have known this and should have reâ€" duced prices to meet the regulations. In the case of butter it had been found that several sales had been made at an increase of a couple of cents per pound over the level set by law. He suggested that the offence was a serious one as that sort of thing threatened the whole price structure. He thought a substanâ€" tial penalty should be imposed in these two cases. J. A. Cousingau, counsel for Mrs. s:aâ€" hey, pointed out that there were so many regulations that it was difficult for anyone to keep track of them. There was a big chance for honest mistakes to be made. That the firm was not after undue profits was shown by the fact that butter had been sold by the store two cents a pound cheaper than the ceilings price, the customers getting the benefit of this. It appeared that the chief trouble had been the fact that the offences charged had occurred aâ€" round the Christmas season when clerks not fully acquainted with tne many regulations had to be engaged to handle the rush. He asked that in view of all the facts of the case only a min.â€" imum fine ke imposed in each case. Magistrate Atkinson fined the firm Neat Environment is Conducive to More Beauty Beauty and You mmz by PATRICIA LINDSAY zo $400 and costs on the milk charge and $100 and costs on the butter count. In imposing the fines the magistrate said there was| no minimum fine, the maxiâ€" mum being $5,000 and costs.. He aâ€" greed with the solicitor for the Wartime Prices and Trade Board that the ofâ€" fences were quite serious. It was the duty of all stores to see to it that the ‘ceiling on pricesy was not overlooked. 2082282082282 28 0. * e h0 0204 20 040080030 03000000000 2 T Three other charges against the firm by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board were withdrawn. These related to the alleged sale of jam, flour, coffée, etc., at prices higher than the ceiling prices. There were three charges against A. Bastarache. He was accusied of carryâ€" ing on business without the license reâ€" quired by law in such cases as his, and with having charged more than ceiling prices for some goods. When the case was called, S. C. Platus, K..C., explained that while Mr. Bastarache might be technically guilty of failing to have the required license, the faet reâ€" mained that the business was; properly licensed as required by law, the licâ€" ense being issued in the name of the It doesn‘t take five minutes to rinse . . out one‘s hose each night...
