Delightful Event The escape of a prisoner from a Northern Ontario internment camp was noted this week. At first the name and description given out were the wrong man. Apparently in case of an escape the other prisoners try to help the fellow escaping by going to the wrong bunk houses and answering to the wrong names with the idea of conâ€" fusing the authorities. Later, it was discovered that the escaped prisoner was the German parachutist, Egbert Brosig. This is the same 22â€"yearâ€"old lad that caused all the excitement last year at North Bay. He had escaped then from an internment camp in this part of the North, and he admitted: this to members of a North Bay family who had given him a lift on the road ‘and hospitality at their home afterwalds believing him to be a Brmsh alrman They promptly notified the * pohce at North Bay, and:Brosig. snould have been arrested before 'féaving*;mrfih Bay.

The following Brosig:â€" Tea tables, centered with gay summer ffowers, were arranged beneath the trees and here the tea things were gathered to be served individually to the guests.

It is true that there was a "Form to be Used by Assistant Enumerators in Registerâ€" ing Voters in Military Camps," with this form bearing a subâ€"head, "Appliâ€" cation for Registration." According to a letter received this week by The Adâ€" vance from a soldier at Ottawa, "Quite a number of soldiers lost their votes by not tilling in this form." The soldier adds the iiluminating words, "Lots knew nothing about it." To defraud the soldiers here or overâ€" seas out of their votes seems particuâ€" larly mean piece of business. If anyone deserves the right to vote, it is the solâ€" diers. They are risking their health and their lives that the people at home and future generations may have all that the vote representsâ€"the right to live as free men in a democratic govâ€" ernment. As to this it would seem that the soldier‘s words might well be apâ€" plied to the politvicians at Toronto:â€" "Lots knew nothing about it."

Usuâ€" ally criticism such as this would norâ€" mally cease when the election is over, but this seems to be a case where proâ€" test snould not drop too quickly, Inâ€" stead, to keep this matter alive for a time may result in creating such a feelâ€" ing that no similar unfairness may happen again. Many Soldiers Defrauded of Votes in the Election South Porcupine Fireman Heads Team Breaking Record in United Kingdom "A team from the Canadian Corps of Pire Fighters on service in (England broke a record in recent competition and won the British National Fire Serâ€" vice‘s drill award. This was learned in a letter to iCapt. A. Bevis, director of Toronto auxiliary fire service from W. J, Simpkin, formerly of the Toronto fire department. "The tests included towing a van and trailer pump 90 feet to a mobila reserâ€" voir, unhooking pumper, connecting two lengths of suction hose with, the reserâ€" voir and two 100â€"foot lines of 2%â€"inch hose to the pumper; turning on the water and knocking down two targets at 120 feet with the streams, then reâ€" versing the operation. The previous record was one minute and, 53 seconds. In the final test, said even more rigid, the Canadian team did it in one minute and 35 1â€"5 seconds." > "Mr. Simpkin, a senior company offiâ€" cer in the corp overseas, was a member of the team. With him were:; William A. Rowles, Long Branch; W. A. Parent, Ottawa; Y. C. Cam and I. F. Cam, Port Colbourne and Arnold Bronson, Beebe, Q@ue. Section Leader Joseph R., Miller, of South Porcupine, directed the team. Friends in South Porcupine, Schuâ€" macher and Timmins, and indeed, throughout the Norti, will be interâ€" ested and very pleased at the success achieved by the team headed by Joseph R. Miller, one of the South Porcupine Fire Brigade, who early in the war went overseas to help in fireâ€"fighting in Briâ€" tain when that service was so sorely needed there. The team headed by section Leader Miller recently won the National Fire Service Drill Awardâ€"a great honour. In referring to the matâ€" ter, The Toronto Star on Tuesday this week said :â€" Section Leader J. R. Miller DNirects Team Winning National Fire Service Drill Award. Sincere Thanks . .. The voting on August 4th shows clearly that the people of Ontario and particularly the pioneering North are looking forward to the new day for which we in the C.C.F. have been planning and working for many years.
